THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

At Wind Winders Pack, the same time:

Curtis was training by himself, pushing up a weight, when he felt a presence behind him.

Turning around, he saw Penny, the girl whom his cousin had rescued during the problem that had ensued during his birthday.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Hey…What are you doing out here? It’s still early.” He queried, staring at her all over. She was looking very beautiful as usual, but she wasn’t his mate.

If he hadn’t hung his boots on flirting and sleeping around, he was sure that he would have loved to bed her, but since he turned eighteen, he hasn’t been interested in tasting any girl who wasn’t his mate, to the annoyance of the girls in his pack. He was very handsome, and a lot wanted a taste of him, before their mates came along.

He also wasn’t interested in her, because he didn’t really know her. For some reason, she had refused to go back to her pack, and his father had allowed it.

He had suspected foul play, but that had shimmered away, when he saw that the girl was gentle and harmless. He has been watching her, even recruiting some guys to spy on her, to know if she was a spy, but she had passed their tests and came out unscathed. So now, he doesn’t suspect her, but neither did he want her on his bed.

“Hey Curtis, Good morning.” She greeted with a beautiful smile.

“How are you doing?” She asked.

“I’m good, as you can see. What are you doing here, this early in the morning?” He asked, repeating his earlier question.

“Is it a sin to come out to breathe in the morning fresh air?” She asked, smiling at him.

“No.” He replied, turning away from her, not finding it necessary to point out that she could have just opened her window and breathed in the morning fresh air since she wanted it so bad, or she could have taken a walk around the pack house, than coming here to disturb him.

He knew that she liked him, wanted him rather. He had seen it in her eyes on more than one occasion, but he had refused to act on it. He didn’t want any girl that wasn’t his mate. He was happy that his wolf was cooperating too. Actually, his wolf had sponsored the decision.

He was about picking up the weight again, when he felt hands wrapping around his waist, soft hands that almost made him forget his resolution.

“What are you doing?” He asked, standing up erect, while trying to remove her hands from his waist.

But to no avail. The girl’s grip was surprisingly strong.

“Why are you avoiding me? Why are you pushing me away?” She whined, pressing her hair to his back.

Curtis took in a deep breath, and let another out. What was he going to do to this girl? he couldn’t roughly push her away because she might report to his father, and his old man would bite off his head with words. Although, he didn’t understand why and how the girl mattered so much to his father, he still didn’t want to risk playing into his hands.

At a time, he had thought that the girl might be the daughter of the Alpha of the Faugers Pack and that his father had kept her incase the Alpha wanted to start a fight, but after his guys had gone out as spies into the pack. They had found out that the man didn’t have a daughter, and that he had met with his uncle, Alpha Peter, for help against his father.

He hadn’t yet reported to his father about his findings.

He wanted to speak with his cousin and sister first.

For now, he didn’t want to be on his father’s bad side. He needed the old man to allow him go to his cousin’s birthday party tomorrow without much fuss.

So, he had to tolerate Penny.

“You are not saying anything.” He heard her whine, and sighed.

Why did the girl choose him to bother? Was it because he was the alpha’s son?

Tsk. She could dream on. He thought, staring down at her slender fingers which had tightened on his waist.

“You are not my mate.” He stated monotonically, before bending down to pick the weight.

She can continue to hold him if she wanted to.

“I know. But we can make do with ourselves before our mates locate us. I want you, Curtis.” She said, as she used her thumb to graze his navel smoothly.

“Penny…Get your hands off me. Aren’t you shameless?” He stated, deciding to push her away with words since he couldn’t touch her, before he forgot about his resolution.

He was shirtless, so he wasn’t sure how much longer he can hold his aloofness to her smooth skin glued to his.

“How dare you call me that?” She asked, dropping her hands off his waist, much to his relief.

“You gave me no choice.” He said, as he turned to look at her, even as he noticed from beyond her, Leo walking towards them. The latter had a smirk on his face.

“You will regret calling me that. I promise.” She said, before turning around and walking away, not pausing a bit in her movements as she saw Leo.

“Trouble in paradise?” Leo asked, as he got to Curtis.

“There is no paradise.” He replied, an irritated look on his face as he watched Penny walk away from the field.

“Hmm, if you say so. I don’t know why she is so intent on having you though…” Leo said, picking up another weight.

“I don’t know. Maybe, the same reason why Zoe wanted you for herself.” He said, a smug look on his face, as he watched the frown that appeared on his friend’s face. They had gotten more closer since the last incident that had disturbed their pack.

“I and Zoe are done. Are we still going for Derek’s party tomorrow?” Leo asked with a grunt, as he lifted up the weight above his head.

“Of course. We are not missing it for anything in the world.” Curtis replied.
