Healing The Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 39

*Cahir*

I should join her in the bath - help her wash her back and maybe her front. Holy hell, she was going to have me in a constant horny mess. How could a body be so perfect? Why did the goddess favour her so with a body that had me panting for a fourth round in two hours?

"Self-control, Cahir!" I snapped at myself. It took all my willpower to stop myself from hopping out of bed and joining her in the shower. The sound of the shower running called my name and I almost answered.

Just picturing her naked under that stream of water had me panting then I saw red for a second, imagining the water sliding down her skin while I fought myself to retain control.

I'd heard the first few weeks of mating could be intense with the need to mate at every hour and the possessive urge to hide one's mate, but I didn't think it would be true to this extent. ver wanted to get out of this bed ever again. All I wanted was to burrow into her forever. That thought had me swallowing hard.

While a mate did not feature in my plans before, I had to accept I now had one but it was still a lot to wrap my head around. She'd become a threat to me - her very existence could ruin me and it bothered me that I would allow myself to be ruined for this woman.

"Fuck this mate bond." I scrubbed my palms down my face.

The Luna Ceremony must have ended by now and I had a ton of work to get on with but my body was more relaxed than it had ever been. I felt calm - sated.

All this from sex!?

No, not from sex. I'd been with dozens of women but none of them had made me want to curl up around them, creating a bubble that the outside world could not prate. None of them could take the tension from my shoulders just from holding my hands and none of them could calm the raging beast inside me with a look.

"This is not happening." I got out of bed and pulled on my discarded clothes from the floor.

Sihana Asena could spell my destruction if I let her.

"Sometimes, you think the stupidest things, Cahir," Perseus growled at me. The mutt wanted to lay in his mate's arms cuddled to her chest for the rest of his life.

She'd promised to let me suckle her every night. Remembering that conversation had me thinking of how she writhed beneath me, how she moaned my name and how much I loved seeing my cock disappear into her.

"This is not happening," I repeated to myself, buttoning my shirt as my dick rose to half-mast.

"What is not happening?" I swerved around at the soft voice that washed over me and calmed my nerves.

She had dressed in the bathroom in my shirt.

"What are you wearing?" I demanded when I saw the white shirt hanging down to her mid-thighs, leaving her straight legs bare to entice me.

"I-I-" She looked down at the outfit as her face reddened.

"You bastard, you're scaring her!" Perseus growled at me.

"My things are - I didn't have anything to wear so I - I borrowed this." She fingered the collar of the oversized shirt. "I'm sorry. I will take it off if - if -" She looked away from me and something dead and buried deep inside me twinged.

I wanted her to take it off but not for the reason she must be thinking. If she took it off, I would be blessed with the sight of the perfect body the goddess blessed her with. Maybe I could spare a few minutes to -

I shook that thought out of my head. The past few days had been torturous but I managed to stay away from her, burying myself in work and never sleeping in my bed but after having her three times in the past two hours - Suffice to say I already lost my self-control. I wanted to indulge myself in exploring her soft curves for the rest of -

"You can keep the shirt. Use your room from now on." I left the room with that before I did something stupid, like unbuttoning the shirt on her. "Cahir!" I paused at the door after she yelled my name. "Cahir - are you - won't you take a shower before - before you go back to work." For a split second, a haze of lust heated my blood. I imagined she wanted to have hot sex in the shower but in reality, she was talking about the stench of sex clinging to me.

"No." I found myself smiling at the scandalized expression on her face. She was - cute. Her words gave me an idea as I walked out of the Alpha Castle.

"My mate is in my room," I informed the security personnel standing outside the house.

The Alpha Castle was the safest place in this pack as no one was stupid enough to enter my home without permission but with the woman inside, I could not take chances.

"To the pack house," I told the driver that opened my car door for me.

Kade Warren's existence had faded from my subconscious but now that I remembered him, it was the perfect time to pay my prisoner a visit.

"You idiot!" He screamed when I

walked into the cell he had been

thrown into Who are you to hold an Alpha of my status -" His nose wrinkled and Perseus purred in- satisfaction. "You - You -" He went red in the face. His struggle to control himself tickled me. He counted to ten, breathing in through his nose and out his mouth.

"You bastard!" He screamed, his veins popping as he charged at me, his wolf on the verge of breaking through the surface. I snagged the fist he launched at me. "Let me go, you liar!" I crushed his wrist for the fun of it.

"Sit down, let's talk." I shoved him away from me and he stumbled, almost falling.

"How could you -"

"Sit." The amusement drained from me as I glared at the idiot who thought he could buy my mate from me.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

He collapsed into the only stool in the cell and I leaned against a wall.

"Silver Moon will not let this go. I will never forgive you!" He exclaimed with a heavy breath, his hand massaging his chest.

Ah, the poor man. His chest must hurt from watching another man profit off his mistake.

"Look at me." He obeyed my command like a pup in my pack.

Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. This power - This all-consuming power that had Alphas bowing at my request - the smell of it was intoxicating.

"Kade Warren, you should not forget. Remember this day till your last. Hate me, Alpha Kade. Let hatred fill your veins, let it plague your dreams." I smiled at him, finding nothing funny about the situation.

"What are you saying?" He scrunched up his face.

"I have stolen from you, haven't I? Deceived you like a little boy." Watching his face redden made me laugh. "You should want revenge."

"I want revenge!" He shouted, almost standing but he had better sense - he knew who he was dealing with. He knew the Alpha whose land he had trespassed on.

“Good." I smiled at the boy. "I want you to come for me, Kade Warren.”

"You -" He growled. "Are you purposely aggravating me!?" He shouted, his loud voice stirring the resting demons inside me.

"Snap his neck. Don't draw it out. Coat your fingers in his blood!" The demons whispered but they should know me better by now. I liked to play.

"Aren't you aggravated already?" I asked the little barking dog. “I snatched Sihana from right underneath your nose."

"The -" He shook his head. "You signed a blood contract and you went back on it -"

"Don't bore me with empty threats. It is impossible to break a blood contract," I reminded him.

"But you

"l

His brows furrowed as

the gears in his head turned. His eyes asked, how did this bastard find a way to get out of a blood contract?" "I don't know how you did it but you dishonoured the contract first so don't expect Silver Moon to hold up her end."

"We will be processing an order soon. I'd like to see if you can

dishonour a blood contract without first running mad." The thought of not complying with the terms

vouched for with his blood cont

drive him to insanity in mere weeks. "While you try to figure it out, you can also plot your revenge against me."

His eyes narrowed but I simply smiled at him.

"I won't let you deceive me twice, Cahir Armani." It sounded like a vow.

"That's your business, Kade." I pushed off the wall. "Come for me, Kade Warren. Take your pound of flesh from me. Be angry. Fight for revenge."

Let me have fun tearing down Silver Moon.
