Two

Alpha Cult.

Being an Alpha is hard but being an Alpha who is not capable of loving is even harder. A long time ago, when I was a child, my parents betrothed me to Fey after they were told of my curse.

Lowenmensch, it is the curse of being part wolf, and part lion. It is an unnatural ability that is almost never heard of in the history of wolves.

My parents are wolves who are descendants of a powerful Lycan called Zepheus, the first Lowenmensch. He is a legend from a hundred years ago whose story is still contained in the folklore of wolves.

Zepheus is the only man in wolf history that was part wolf, and part lion. He is also one that was incapable of loving his mate and I, out of a billion wolves born in a century have been born with the same curse.

"Within myself, I have a wolf and lion who only speaks in anger and war, it doesn't recognize sexual attraction, love or passion." I have no control over my advanced strength and sometimes, my wolf and lion takes total control of my actions making me dangerous.

I do not know what love feels like and I do not care to know. It's not my doing. It's a curse.

I have everything. "The respect of my pack, wealth, strength, dominance except for that one thing." This is the reason why my parents forced me into this alliance so that my pack wouldn't realize that I am a product of Zepheus.

"Wolves believe that the union of a mate and a wolf is a blessing from the moon goddess. If they were to realize that I have the curse of Zepheus, the legend, they would not respect my authority as Alpha and they would believe the moon goddess doesn't stand with me."

Although, all of this is bad. The worst thing about being a spawn of Zepheus is that this curse of mine will only be reversed if I am able to meet a Luna sent by the moon goddess herself.

There is no hope for me and I hope the day where my wolf and lion finally takes total control will not be today.

I didn't realize how close to her I was until I felt her soft nipples on my chest and how it made the hairs on my arms erect. It doesn't make sense. I am not capable of being turned on. I have stayed in the same house with Fey for three months and I have never wanted to have her.

I have seen her nakedness multiple times because of how she has tried to seduce me but...this I don't understand how this is even possible.

She clears her throat and walks past me, the scent of her body wafts through my nose. It is the sweetest scent I have ever perceived. It wraps around me, it is even soothing to my wolf. It calms my wolf, unbelievably.

"It is what I didn't know I have been searching for."

What? Consummate our....marriage? She asks but I said that before feeling her nipples on my chest and I can't complete my statement anymore. Am I sick?

"Excuse me..." I have to do something that requires immediate attention. I say walking away from her and heading into my office. I shut the door behind and I look down at my pants.

I am hard. It makes no sense.

I am technically hard for a woman who I have seen naked previously but then, I did not feel a single attraction. Now, just because of her scent and the mild touch of her nipple. I don't understand...it makes no sense.

What in the hell is my wolf and lion doing? Is Fey a Luna that is sent by the moon goddess? If so, why did I not feel this kind of blazing attraction towards her since we got married.

"Right now, I feel like taking her and bursting out in flames of pleasure." I have never imagined pleasure before but now, I can feel it. I have to get rid of this...somehow.

There is something that is undoubtedly wrong with me. The door swings open behind me and I look back in shock.

Who the hell is that!

Fey?! I have made it clear that you or any other are never to enter my office without my permission. What is the meaning of this?

"You just spoke about consummating this marriage and then walked out on me." What kind of Alpha are you? What kind of a woman do you even think I am?

What the hell are you talking about? I should be asking what sort of Luna you are. We both know the reason why you left for the vacation on your own.

It's because you were ashamed of yourself, have you gotten over your shame so soon?

I look at her and she seems so confused about what I am saying. Is she back as a pretender now? Also, how did I not take notice of her plump lips, siren eyes and sweet, rosy scent in these months?

Huh? You've got to be kidding me! She says and her voice is unrecognizable.

"Oh, should I jog your memory about how you tried to seduce me with an aphrodisiac, how you hid in my bed, naked?"

"If only my mom knew the sort of person you are, she would not have allowed me to be betrothed with you." Some kind of slut you are...you are now trying to be a pretender?

I see a change in her eyes when I mention the word 'slut' and in a swift manner, she walks towards me and hits me across the face. I grunt and the moment I stare back at her, both my eyes have become fiery red.

She is the one who hit me and yet, I can sense her nerves rising from her shaking hands which she is hiding behind her curvy shape. This is another thing I have never taken notice of—the hourglass slope from her waist to her hips.

Immediately, she walks away from me and I begin to walk closer.

This is the first time a woman is hitting me. I didn't expect a woman who looks like a bunny to ever strike my face. Slowly, I walk towards her until her back touches the wall of my office and I use my hands to block her from passing.

And you are proud to call yourself a man? What sort of man uses his power to intimidate a woman? I'm warning you. Let go of me instantly! She says, her breath on my skin is like sugar to my tea.

"But I'm not done with you, little Fey." I growl and she turns her face away from mine. I can smell her strawberry scent when she tilts her neck, I feel the urge to mark her as my own but it can wait. She is mine anyway.

Get away from me, you monster! She says through gritted teeth.

"You wanted to have sex with a monster months ago, how come you have changed your mind so fast?" Is this another strategy since your aphrodisiac didn't work on me? Just like the time you tried to make me jealous by kissing a wolf trainee? I ask.

I am expecting to see guilt on her face but she looks confused. Is it that I never really knew her in the first place? What are these new expressions that I'm finding on her face?

"So, like I said, prepare for me." I will consummate this forced alliance once and for all. Hopefully, you will be pregnant with my pups and I won't have to do this again with you.

"I will show you how a monster takes a woman."

This time, her eyes are enraged and she hits me harder across the cheek.

You are a Lunatic! You are a monster!

At this moment, I am determined to scare her and make her chew her words. I hate the way she calls me a monster because I'm technically a monster. In hot anger, I am holding her with her shirt and I hear how it rips due to the minimal strength that I used.

I grab her roughly to make a final threat before I hear...

Cult, stop this instantly!

I look to my left and it's my mom. I let go of Fey and look at my hands. I didn't realize that my mom entered the office while I was in one of my uncontrollable stunts. The second thing I didn't realize was that Fey is crying.

She is very much frightened of me and for the first time in my life, my heart breaks into shards when I see the tears rolling off her rosy cheeks. And immediately, my anger is resolved.
