THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

Sia, Maya’s wolf, howled in victory, possibly doing a joyous dance of victory in Maya’s head as they both watched as Leo turned against Zoe.

“Yess..” Sia said, laughing tangibly. “It seems the effects of the witch’s potion is wearing off.”

“Probably.” Maya agreed, not wanting to spike up a hope that might soon be drenched out. She didn’t want to rejoice yet until he could recognize her as his mate; until her scent could be able to drive him crazy with want, like his did her. But then, she couldn’t deny the fact that she was glad, so so glad, that she had almost brought out her tongue to mock Zoe. The latter still looked shocked though.

Well, she had been too. She hadn’t been expecting him to hold back Zoe’s hand. She had only thought that Derek would intercept it before it got to her.

“But our mate came to our aid.” Sia opined on a joyful note. Maya thought that her wolf version was just too happy and optimistic.

“Well, you should be too.” Sia said, obviously reading off her thoughts.

Her left hand still entangled with Derek’s, she watched as Zoe slowly swallowed her spittle, obviously still in shock and bewilderment, and of course, anger. She wondered what her ex best friend would do next, now that her so called boyfriend didn’t have her back. Would she break up with him?

“I wish they would.” She heard her wolf say, and smiled, totally in agreement.

She could also hear the murmurs going on all around them. If she had thought that the previous jabs when she had called Zoe a clown was harsh, then these ones were brutal.

“Ohoooo.. Did Leo just flung her hand down?”

“What a shame.”

“Good for her. She is always throwing herself on the poor guy since he came here.”

“Mayday mayday! Zoofy Zoey is down…. hahahahahhahhhahhahahhahahha”

“Finally, the guy dumped her.”

” You think so?”

” I know so. This is the beginning of the end.”

” It’s obvious Leo doesn’t like her.”

“Why should he? She is not even his mate.”

” I never got why they were dating. It’s obvious they weren’t mates.”

” To pass time I guess. That’s what she is only good at. Passing time and having fun with boys, werewolves and humans alike.”

“I pity for who would be her mate though?”

” Why?”

“Well, her pussy hole would be so……”

” Hehehehehhhehhe… You’re so crazy man.”

” You know I’ve had her before?”

“Seriously?”

” Uhuh… she’s like the Pack’s prostitute.”

“She wants to tear up.”

“A welcome sight. She is always acting tough.”

” It’s good they are breaking up. Now I can have Leo, at least once.”

” You want him too?”

” Yeah..”

” We will have to share then.”

Maya stopped listening, her ears burning from those comments, some negative, some true, some false, and some downrightly stupid. Why would the girls be interested in a guy that’s not their mate? She has always found it repulsive. It was better to play around with humans, than with werewolves. Getting too attached to a werewolf that isn’t your mate could breed problems in the nearest future. Didn’t Zoe and the others know that?

“Well, you can’t blame them. Our mate is so handsome.” Sia muttered dreamily, making her to sough and shake her head. Her wolf could be so dramatic.

Her thoughts stood at attention when she heard Leo talking again. She thought that his voice was the most sweetest she had ever heard. His scent which was so intoxicating, had wrapped over her since she had stepped into the training fields. It had taken Derek’s hold on her hand, and his unrecognition of her as his mate, to stop her from jumping on him.

“Don’t you have an iota of respect?” He had asked, facing a still shocked Zoe, whose eyes seemed to be brimming in tears.

“I…. but…. she…..” She heard Zoe stammering, and almost snickered.

“She is your Alpha’s daughter for God’s sake. You don’t go around slapping that kind of person. And Derek, the soon to be Alpha of my own pack, is also right in front of you. Do you think he would let you go scott free if you slap his cousin?” He asked again.

Maya could tell he was trying to rein in his temper. She wondered whether it was because he had been angry that his so called girlfriend had disrespected Derek, or because she had disrespected her for her title sake. None of the reasons appealed to her. So much for thinking he had been doing it just for her. So much for thinking that he was a bit attracted to her.

At that moment, she just wanted to leave the fields, and go inside; perhaps to prepare for her brother’s birthday party.

“Give it time. He will come around. He has no choice.” She heard Sia say, and soughed; knowing that her wolf was only trying to console her.

“I’m sorry.” She heard Zoe say to Leo, and scoffed in anger. They were not breaking up like she had thought.

“No, don’t apologize to me. Apologize to Derek and his cousin, your Alpha’s daughter.” He stated.

Zoe turned, reluctantly, trying so hard, more than ever, to curb in her rage and anger. She would have the last laugh. She thought to herself.

“I’m sorry.” She mumbled, as she faced Derek and Maya.

“What did you say? I can’t hear you.” Derek stated, placing his free hand on his ear.

“I’m sorry.” She said, more loudly, swallowing down the shame that covered her up.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Good. Now you can leave us. I don’t think your presence is needed for the discussion that we are about to have.” Derek said, pushing out another dose of shame and anger into her.

She turned to Leo, but he wasn’t even looking at her. Rather he was staring at Maya who looked a bit absentminded.

Has Maya enchanted him too? She thought.

“Didn’t you hear what I just said?” Derek asked with contempt, as if disgusted with her mere presence, breaking off her thoughts.

“I did…. Alpha” She said, before stomping out of the pack’s training grounds in a fit of rage, all the while, struggling to keep the tears at bay, as she heard the silly and wicked words being spoken in harsh whispers by the members of her pack. No one would see her cry. They were not permitted to do so. She would show them all. She thought, one by one.
