The Alpha’s Curvy Cinderella - Chapter 141: Chapter 141

Alpha Drake POV
I walked out of the bathroom, my hair dripping down my back, my towel wrapped tightly around my waist to see that Claudia was lying on the bed, dressed in provocative lingerie, a seductive smile on her face. My c**k hardened as I looked at her, though my wolf was displeased, it didn’t prevent the human part of me from responding to her and I put up a block, walked towards my chosen mate, dropped my towel, and climbed onto the bed, straddling her, feeling the softness of her skin as she put a hand on my chest, her own eyes darkening as she parted her lips.
I swooped down pressing my lips against hers. This time, I felt nothing. No sparks, no tingles. I pressed harder, my hand skimming along her ribs and then reaching up to cup her breast through the flimsy material of her negligee. She arched her back giving a hiss of satisfaction. I slowly pulled up her chemise, exposing her taut abdomen and toned body as I licked my lips. I tore the negligee off of her, making her eyes widen, determined to feel something. This woman was gorgeous, completely different from my actual mate who was curvy and big. There was no comparison. I ripped her panties off and then leaned down, licking her clit as she moaned, expertly bringing her to the heights of pleasure. For once, it didn’t feel as good as it usually did.
I ignored it, pressing forward until she came, her nails digging into my back, her body shuddering beneath me. “Drake” she moaned, her body writhing on the bed, lips parted in ecstasy.
It should have thrilled me to hear my name from her lips. I should have felt excited at the thought of taking her. But it felt cold and slightly clinical as I lined myself up at her entrance. I pushed in, sinking myself to the hilt and she mewled, wrapping her legs around my waist and rocking back and forth with enthusiasm. One thing about Claudia was that she genuinely enjoyed s*x. However, my body was not responding as ardently as usual. I gritted my teeth. I knew that my mate was probably feeling the effects of me being with another and I didn’t care. I wanted her to reject me, didn’t I?
My wolf forced the block down, helped by my being distracted. He was pissed.
You f*****g i***t, what are you doing with this slut. How can you do this to our mate? You selfish bastard he roared, his tone dripping with contempt.
I continued to f**k Claudia, ignoring him, her body joined with mine, until she came again, her walls clenching down hard on my c**k. I came swearing, slowly sliding out, and feeling empty. Why didn’t I find it enjoyable? What was missing?
What’s missing is that you just f****d another girl that wasn’t our mate moron.
Suddenly the most excruciating pain shot through my chest, causing me to double over, my hand pressed to my heart, a roar sounding from my lips in shock. It hurt, so bad that it felt as though my heart had been torn from my chest. I panted, Claudia, rushing to my side, her eyes filled with concern as I waved my arms at her, preventing her from getting too close. My wolf howled, a sound filled with despair and anguish. I had never heard him sound so desolate. His voice was filled with bitterness when he spoke, and I felt something snapping in my chest.
The pain is from our mate rejecting us. Congratulations Drake, you finally got what you wanted. We would have been stronger with her staying by our side, but now you have weakened us. I hope it was worth it to you.
“No” I breathed.
I hadn’t thought that Josie would actually get the courage to go through with rejecting me, despite the way I treated her. I felt fury rise inside of me. How dare, a pathetic mutt like her, reject an Alpha like me! I snarled, causing Claudia to jump back startled.
“That b***h” I hissed, climbing stiffly to my feet and rushing through the door, still stark naked and beyond caring, intent on getting to the room she was cloistered in “that f*****g b***h” I snarled.
Claudia watched me go, too frightened to follow. I crashed through Josie’s bedroom door and ignored my Gamma’s presence. “You b***h take it back” I demanded as she tensed and my gamma looked at me incredulously “my wolf needs you to be stronger, take it back” I roared.
“No,” Josie said with her lip quivering as I glowered at her “I will not take it back. I deserve better than someone like you as my mate.”
I laughed. “As if you’re ever going to find a mate better than myself” I mocked, putting my hands on my hips and towering over her “Who on earth is going to want somebody like you? You’re lucky to have an Alpha as your mate.”
“Me” came a voice.
What? I turned my head to see my Gamma narrowing his eyes at me. “I want her as my mate,” he said quietly “We happen to have the mate bond and she’s already rejected you” he added.
That’s impossible! You only ever felt the mate bond with one mate at a time. He had to be lying. But the way he was gazing at Josie and glaring at me indicated he was telling the truth. My wolf was silent, offering no assistance, licking his wounds, and refusing to speak to me. Rage took over me. I growled. My own Gamma was trying to defy me now. I wasn’t going to stand for it.
“You wanted me to reject you and I did,” Josie said in a trembling voice “Now please leave me alone.”
I lost it. My wolf surged to the surface and I made a grab for her. Rohan stepped forward, putting himself directly in harm’s way. “Move,” I said, barely controlling myself.
“I can’t do that. You cannot have my mate Alpha Drake” he said determinedly, pushing Josie behind him.
I considered him. He was no match in human form for me but it wasn’t preventing him from trying to protect Josie who was standing behind him now and looking worried.
I mind-linked. Then before he could move, I kicked out at his bad leg, sending him to the floor as Josie let out a cry. Rohan shifted while I did the same, both of us snarling at each other. I grinned at my Gamma. It was a shame it had come to this, but I wanted Josie if only to ensure that I didn’t weaken myself. He shouldn’t have gotten in the way. I crashed into him and sent the both of us flying through the window and onto the hard ground below, both of us clawing and fighting each other. We both backed away and then he was hit as Josie screamed from above us, looking desperately out the window, by a tranquilizer dart containing a sedative and wolfsbane. His body was forced to shift back to human form and he lay there, groaning as several warriors came and dragged him to his feet.
I shifted filled with triumph. “Put him in the dungeon” I barked, a malicious grin on my face as Josie began to shriek “Leave him unharmed, for now,” I added.
Josie ran out the door and I grabbed her as she tried to go to Rohan who was now unconscious. “Bastard” she screamed as I held her back with ease “What is wrong with you? I did what you wanted” she sobbed pathetically, “I rejected you and now you change your mind? Please, please, let him go” she begged “he doesn’t deserve this.”
“He disrespected me,” I told her coldly “and for that, he will pay the price.”
I gripped her tightly around the arm, my fingers digging in painfully and intentionally as she inhaled sharply. My eyes darkened. My wolf was beginning to come back to the surface as I smelt her scent. I hadn’t accepted the rejection and my primal and aggressive side was beginning to show, the side that I tried hard to keep hidden. I smirked.
“Drake” she whispered, “I’m begging you, don’t do this.”
“You need to learn your place” I purred, watching those big eyes of hers fill with tears as the color drained from her face completely “I’m going to enjoy teaching you what happens when you don’t obey your mate and Alpha.”
“You are not my mate” she yelled, kicking and flailing as I began to march her back to the pack house, “my parents are going to kill you for this” she threatened and I laughed, amused by the threat.
“Unless they have somebody spying in my pack, they’re never going to know,” I said callously, grabbing the back of her head, gripping her hair, and yanking her head back as her eyes widened in pain “Trust me, by the time I’m through with you, you won’t dare speak a word about your treatment here.”
