 Marvin inhales on getting to the exit of the building where the werecouncil was meeting. It was the headquarters of Havillah Industries, a company that was always controlled by the Alpha Supreme of the US since several generations.

 His wolf has been weirdly calm ever since they laid eyes on their new mate, Gabriella probably just as shocked as Marvin was about their new mate. 

 She was extremely beautiful even with how stoic she acted and managed to stir his loins which he wasn't sure if it was an effect of the mate bond or if he truly found her attractive.

 'But she is so different, she's not like...', Marvin is thinking when pain coursed through his veins like a fresh stab to his heart. 'I thought you promised not to think about that again', he reminds himself and sighs. 

 "Damn it Marvin, why are you nervous?", he growls. 

 'Why wouldn't you be nervous when a mere lady was able to command you and your wolf after an entire life of being in control?', his mind argues.

 "She didn't command me, it was Dad who allowed me", he counters. 

 'You would have followed her out in a few seconds even if your father hadn't allowed you so don't be silly', his mind retorts and this time he could feel his wolf growl in agreement with the thought.

 "Whatever, she's a female Alpha", he murmurs. "Marvin, you must be really crazy to be talking yourself in a public place. You're lucky the employees are not present due to the meeting", he chuckles and flips the door open only to see Gabriella in his front.

 Her face immediately turns red on seeing him and she begins cursing herself internally for allowing her wolf to convince her to go back in to find him.

 "Hey", Marvin grunts uneasily and she takes a step back then another, before smiling then deciding it was stupid and finally reverting back to her emotionless facial expression.

 "Hey", she replies in the most confident and in-control voice she could manage.

 "Should we go somewhere else before we talk? Maybe a coffee shop or...", Marvin trails off as she bites her lips then swallows.

 'How is she so sexy? She's not your type!', his mind yells frustratedly surprised at how alluring he found her.

 Unknowing to him, Gabriella is mentally berating herself for having made such a suggestive gesture. It was all because of her perverted mind and equally crazy wolf.

 She had been about to suggest his bedroom as the perfect place for them to go before they talk when she realized herself and bit her lip to swallow the stupid thought. 

 'Now, the guy must be seeing you as a stupid horny lady', she imagines and groans internally. 'He asked you a question!', she suddenly remembers and swallows.

 "Umm... Let's just talk here and get it over with", she stutters.

 "So should we start with introductions first?"

 "Good call", she breathes.

 "So... Definitely, we know we're mates", Marvin begins and she swallows uneasily. "I'll take that as a confirmation and go-ahead", he concludes and she slowly nods. "And I know you're Gabriella Stone"

 "So you are...", she prompts.

 "Marvin Hale", he replies and her eyes widen. "Yes, your Alpha Ultra", he chuckles already knowing why she was shocked.

 "You are not my alpha ultra, your position is still under deliberation", she spits and he chuckles.

 "I know my father and I know your Alpha Supreme, and I'm certainly sure that the list you made is going to be tossed in the dustbin or somewhere around because he won't give it a second thought", Marvin replies and she glares at him.

 "That would be wrong of him!"

 "You can't challenge him for doing that, can you?", Marvin retorts.

 "I know I can't but the Red Moon pack will still never submit to your authority".

 "Why is that?", he asks with a small smile that makes her eyes narrow in annoyance.

 "It's because we know what we want; the Red Moon Pack and our allies, and we are ready to fight till we get what we want", she states.

 "That's interesting", he chuckles. "So what do you have to gain in this?", he questions directly and she is caught offguard for a moment.

 "What do you mean?", she manages to murmur. 

 "You seem smart despite being sexy as fuck", Marvin begins to say in a straight tone but realizes what he had just said and pauses. "I'm sorry, wrong adjective", he immediately apologizes.

 "Whatever", she responds rolling her eyes, irritated not at him but at herself for being pleased that he couldn't resist the urge to compliment her.

 "But yes, as I was saying, I expect that you have a personal stake in this", Marvin utters and she groans angrily.

 "I'm not that kind of person", she defends.

 "There's nothing wrong with wanting to have a personal gain in anything you do".

 "Whatever, I don't care what you think", she retorts.

 "We can't run away from this, I hope you know that"

 "Run away from what?", she asks confusedly.

 "This whole mate stuff", he responds.

 "There's a thing called rejection you know", she points out.

 "I won't do it", he states and her eyes widen.

 "Even though I'm an enemy of yours?"

 "You're not my enemy, yet", he replies and she laughs.

 "Well, I will soon make myself that", she smiles.

 'You have a beautiful smile, even though you're smiling for the wrong reason', he imagines replying and chuckles.

 "Just be honest with me, I'm your mate. If you can tell me what exactly will be your gain when your father becomes the alpha ultra, I promise I would do it and even do it in threefolds"

 "I just said I don't have any gain, didn't I?"

 "I doubt that", he counters. "Whatever gain you would get wouldn't match up to what you will get if your husband is the alpha ultra so be rational"

 "Oh... So now you're claiming I'm irrational right?", she challenges defensively and his eyes widen.

 "Hey, I never said anything to that effect", he defends.

 "Then what was the meaning of what you said?", she questions and he sighs with an unbelieving chuckle.

 "I was just trying to convince you to reconsider your stance in this matter and stick with me instead"

 "Just because we're mates right?", she laughs and he slowly nods.

 "It's not out of place, is it?", he asks after nodding and she laughs again.

 "I wasn't born to be anyone's Luna", she spits.

 "Any other woman would see this sudden new mate bond as the best thing ever, you're being unreasonable"

 "There you go again with another insult", she points out.

 "Stop thinking I'm trying to insult you, I'm trying to have a conversation here"

 "And I just don't want to have a conversation that isn't about instating my father as the Alpha Ultra"

 "Do you think I could do that even if I tried?", he asks annoyedly.

 "Then, you shouldn't talk to me if you can't give me that", she concludes. "I believe we're done with this meeting, you and I can't work since you're my rival"

 "Your father's rival", Marvin cuts in.

 "Whatever, it makes no difference", she sighs.

 "There's a lot of difference actually"

 "I don't care though. I, Gabriella Rachael Stone, an alpha and daughter of the alpha of the Red Moon pack, reject you Marvin Hale, alpha of the Moonstone pack, as my mate"

  • Subduing My Alpha Mate    Chapter Twenty-nine

    Marvin is about to sigh when he realizes his wolf was not affected at all and pauses. He had felt the loss of his previous mate the moment he lost her even before finding out she was gone but his wolf was surprisingly unaffected this time. Getting rejected probably wouldn't be as painful as the death of a mate but at least he ought to feel something. "Damn!", he suddenly hears Gabriella say followed by a long groan and his eyes light up in worry. "I don't want him! I don't want him! Just take him away already!", she screams and he smirks realizing his speculation was right. "I guess the moon goddess wants us to be together by all means," he shrugs and she screams again. "Calm down, Gabriella! People are beginning to stare at us." "What do I care?", she retorts and begins storming out of the restaurant. Marvin immediately stands to his feet and drops some cash on the table then hurries after her. "Sir, your order is here already!", a waitress yells as he leaves while dropping a

  • Subduing My Alpha Mate    Chapter Twenty-eight

    Several days later, all the inconveniences caused by the fire in the pack have been forgotten and plans for the launching are uppermost in the minds of everyone. Marvin is sitting in his new office, planning how best to complete all the requirements they were to meet before the launching when there is a knock at the door. "Come in," he answers, without looking up from his desk and Trevor walks in with his usual cheery countenance. "I really love the outside view from this new office of yours, it really is the best office in the building", Trevor praises. "As it should be", Marvin smiles. "Someone is being boastful" "Someone is liking another man's office better than his", Marvin fires back and both men laugh. "So, I have some documents for you to sign," Trevor announces once they have put aside their mirth and drops a folder on Marvin's desk. "I'm getting tired of having to sign so much paperwork", Marvin groans. "This is going to be the story of your life till you're old a

    Varus is the first recover from his shock after Marvin's declaration and he immediately clears his throat. "Surely you don't mean that", he stammers and Marvin chuckles. "Actually yes, I do. My pack is a young and fast developing pack, there'll be opportunities for us to be an ultra pack in the future if we work hard. I don't mind having the position of Alpha Ultra in addition to my position as Alpha of Moonstone pack but if you have anything interesting to offer, I would be very willing to handover my position to you" "Em... There's emm... I could offer you my daughter of course", Richard stammers. "I don't want to force my relationship with your daughter, Alpha Stone, but if I had the desire to, I could just storm your pack whenever I like and take her away. I could have even kept her with me the two times she visited my home" "I could make you your pack the second-in-command to mine" "I'm already first in the dominance hierarchy of this province", Marvin reminds Richard

  • Subduing My Alpha Mate    Chapter Twenty-six

    Varus paces about Richard's study with a large frown on his face. Richard is sitting on his chair in the office also seeming pensive but not as much as Varus was. "I don't why you're refusing to arrange a meeting to discuss getting Gabriella back", Varus complains. "I can't request for a meeting with the Alpha Supreme's son, that would mean I'm admitting defeat", Richard argues. "Then do it! This bid of yours to become the Alpha Ultra was not going to work anyway" "It would have worked if she didn't get mated to him" "Well, she did. If you were so capable of being the Alpha Ultra, then why didn't you get elected by the werecouncil in the first place?", Varus retorts. "Do you think the Alpha Supreme would choose someone else over his own son?", Richard challenges. "It's not like it was his personal decision, there were twenty-six Alpha Ultras and two aides of the Alpha Supreme in the werecouncil apart from the Alpha Supreme" "But his vote counted as five votes and each vote of

    "I'm here", Tyra mumbles on entering the kitchen and Stacey turns from what she was doing briefly to smile at her before continuing to work. "So what can I help with?" "Well, you can peel the potatoes on that cabinet" "Okay", Tyra cheerily replies and moves to do as instructed. "I'm sorry about today's accident", she speaks up after a while of silence. "It's not like it was your fault", Stacey shrugs. "Well, it actually isn't. It's still kind of embarrassing though, I just met Castor and you, and everyone then suddenly this" "Does it happen frequently though?", Stacey asks after a pause. "I have upsurges on moonless nights and every now and then but today's episode was particularly strong. I've never had such a strong outburst since learning to suppress my powers" "So before learning to suppress your powers, this kind of outburst happened on every day you had outbursts?" "On moonless nights, yes. My upsurges also happened more frequently back then", Tyra replies. "So why don

  • Subduing My Alpha Mate    Chapter Twenty-four

    Castor kicks the door of his room shut behind him after walking pass with Tyra in his arms and moves to the bed to drop her. Once he drops her on the bed, he walks to his wardrobe just as quickly and picks out a t-shirt and sweatpants. "I hope it won't be too big on you", he mutters as he drops the clothes on the bed with his eyes averted. "I'll head out so you can dress up" Tyra exhales once he was out of the room and picks up the clothes he had dropped. They were almost falling off the bed since he hadn't been looking when he dropped them. "My brothers weren't even half as neat as this", she chuckles on seeing how tidy the room was while looking around but her smile soon freezes at the memory of her family. She quickly shoves aside the thought and goes back to thinking about Castor instead. She found it impressive that his eyes hadn't lingered on her body even for a moment while bringing her in. He had also been calm and caring all along and was even the Alpha's ward from wh
