CHAPTER TWO - DAYDREAM

ALPHA ASHA

When my lips touched hers the warm electric sparks was enough to set my body my alight. She moaned under her breath, purring like a little pup when I pulled her closer and I rummage the dress she had on for any openings so I could feel her skin.

The power of my wolf churned in my chest, her scent, her sweet scent brought it to life and the more I kissed her the stronger the power churned.

“Gawd no!” She pushed me back, breaking away, her face was pink, her breath heavy and her blue eyes shining so bright they looked like stars on her face.

“What is it?” I searched her eyes, seeing the lust in her eyes too. She wanted me, I know she wanted me as I much as I wanted her.

She stepped back. “I have to go Asha…”

Her words seemed to physically cut me.

“W-why?”

“You know why! This can’t… please don’t do this…!” I could see she was fighting the bond, that should be impossible. “We are two opposing worlds!”

Despite her words she doesn’t struggle when I lay a gentle touch on her neck.

She leaned in again, kissing me this time and the bond pushed her further against me.

She was risking everything just being with me now, engaging with me like this.

The air was silent apart from the quite sounds we made as we changed lip locks.

I had fallen in love with the daughter of the Alpha I was sent here to kill. Could this get any worst?

“I have to go… the ball! My coronation, it’s tomorrow noon.”

“I’d be watching…” I told her almost instantly.

“Asha I need to go!” she said slowly, not giving me a chance to convince her and not even worrying about her coat as she dashed out of the hotel and into the storm.

What fate had for me I was yet to discover.

I spent my night tussling on the king sized bed, reliving the taste of her tongue. My Pixie, my Luna, my mate, yet the hate that fueled both our packs was still real like the air I breathed and some how we had managed to find love with each other. It was almost like a daydream.

The grand ball was in just a few hours and the poison dagger I was supposed to use to take the life of my mates father was gripped tightly in my hands.

It was a cool morning yet I found it hard to breathe, I couldn’t do this, not like this, not when I wanted my Pixie in my arms now more than ever.

I was the Alpha, all the women and young ladies in my pack would feign affection just by being close to me. In my pack I basically owned the world, I was just like my father, ruthless, dominant, it was funny how one night could make me want someone so much.

The door to my bedroom was thrown open, I turned my head lazily, immediately recognizing the scent of my cousin, Jared, and I tried to contain the excitement that came with it.

“Enjoying the pleasantries of the Silvermoon pack?” I knew where he was going with this, Jared was a complete goof-off, always doing the least but somehow having the most impact. He ran a hand through his light brown hair which also matched the collie of his eyes.

“There’s only one pleasantry I would rather want to enjoy…” The Alphas daughter had been on my mind so much it made doing anything else apart from visualizing her impossible.

“Let me guess… your Pixie…” he smirked, I shot him a glare, he waved me off.

“How do you know about that?” I stood up, the hilt of the dagger firm in my fist. Nobody could know and especially not Jared, he was the worst person to carry such information and if the word got to my father—well, hell would break loose.

“Wormwhick told me…” he said simply, the miniature man had been the one to take her coat, he must have witnessed everything as well.

“I’ll tear that little—”

“Calm down cousin, he knows the secrets it safe with me!”

“Safe?” I scoffed, standing up and walking to him. “The only thing safe with you is your cock and I bet a few drinks and a lone whore would be enough to take—”

“Watch it!” He smirked and I pulled him into a bear hug, it had been over a year I saw him last and somehow he had come back into my life as if he never left.

“How’s your mate?” I asked, remembering the red head he use to sneak out the back of our mansion to sneak a few kisses.

“She’s good, the south is total chaos now that you’re away but your father is doing the most I guess.”

My father, just thinking about him made my blood chill to ice, I had left in the note that I would prove to him I could end his enemies, finish this battle and end the feud, but now I was here, with the dagger in my hand and the Alphas daughter on my mind.

“Now what do you think he would do once he figures out… you know.”

I looked at the floor, I had been so prepped and ready for this mission but now my hands shook at the very thought of having to slit my mates fathers throat. The Alpha Silva has been my fathers enemy for as long as I could recall, their grand fathers had the feud, our fathers had the feud and I was intent on ending it.

“Wormwhick called me yesterday, I had to run through the storm to get here. He said you weren’t yourself…”

I scoffed.

“Look Asha you asked me about my mate, and she’s fine. Now let’s we have to focus on yours…”

“But I can’t, my father he’d—”

“Your father is not the one who decides your fate, you can’t even breathe without her… I know how it feels… you want her don’t you?”

“More than anything!” I remembered kissing her, her hot breath fanning down my throat, her soft body pressed against mine, we had just met but it felt we had known each other for ages.

“You can’t suffer yourself because of what your father wants you to do, she’s your mate Asha, and unless you want to kill her father that’s up to you!”

He stopped talking, his words only increasing the pressure upon me.

“I choose to do me…”

“Good. And what do you intend on doing?”

“I want her Jared and I think I might need your help.”

“Why do you think I’m here…?”

“But my father can never know about this!”

“My lips are sealed cousin!” He drew a phantom zipper along his lips shut.

“Know about what?” The voice was calm yet it made my heart stop, his aura was strong, stronger than I had last remembered.

My father appeared at the doorway, the red glint in his eyes was terrifying to look into though I had the same glint in mine.

“F-f-f-f—father!” I blurted out at last, my eyes wide with horror, how long had he been there? How much had he heard?

I could see the livid fear that humbled Jared, he looked like his heart was about to rip out of his chest.

My father was brutal, an Alpha that had drilled me to be in his image and likeness from the first day I shifted. He made me obey, I did as he wanted, watched how he treated anyone who crossed him wrongly and learned. But I did not hate him for it, instead I grew to love the lifestyl e and because of that I had become the most ruthless Alpha of the south. I knew my father was proud of me and that’s why he sent me on this mission, I could not fail him but at the same time I could not do anything to hurt my Pixie.

“Son… Asha… why do you keep secrets from me?” He drawled and my heart was beating so fast now I felt like I could get a heart attack at any moment.

“It’s so good to see you f-father, I had no idea you had made the journey in such a storm.”

“Ah yes, your cousin Jared left the mansion so abruptly yesterday night I thought how about I check on my two boys.”

“How’s mother?” If I could just change the subject.

“Your mother is doing fine as always.”

“That’s good to hear.”

His eyes drifted to the dagger I had clutched in my hands and something feral flashed in his eyes.

“I see you are already preparing to make yourself an established Alpha of the Nightshade pack!!!” He spat and I swallowed hard, gulping down any thoughts I had of making a sweet life with my mate, I shoved the thoughts of my Pixie to the deepest parts of my mind. If my father knew I had imprinted on the daughter of his sworn enemy hell knows what he would do. Kill he with his bare hands???

“Why yes I… I was just thinking up strategies with Jared before you stepped in.”

He looked at me with suspicion, his face was broad and angular, he was handsome and so was I.

“I already have the prefect strategy son…”

And I hoped it was not what I was thinking.

“Today is to be the coronation of Silva’s only daughter, given our charm you would seize the opportunity and lure her to her doom, while panic breaks amongst the wolves that would be your chance to end Alpha Silva once and for all!” He snarled.

I couldn’t, how do I tell him I couldn’t? How did I tell him he had sent me here only for me to fall in love with Pixie? How do I tell him just the way he spoke about having her murdered triggered something deadly in me, something that wanted to rip out his tongue so he never uttered such words of death upon my mate again!

I squeezed the dagger in my hand, the bond I had with my mate set my soul on fire and I wanted nothing for him to be here in my presence.

It was odd how ones loyalty could shift on the basis of love, but I knew for sure someone was going to die today, and it certainly will not be my Pixie.
