The Alpha Can’t Sense His Mate

ATHALIAH’S POV

“Of course not.” I giggled, staring the bitch in the face. “You would remember if I met you before, wouldn’t you?”

Ithra’s eyes narrowed, and uncertainty filled her look. “I guess.”

“Exactly,” I said with a smile, noticing her unease. I wondered what she saw. Or what she remembered to ask me that question.

From my observations, Cole wasn’t far from the truth. It seemed like this bitch was getting back her memories.

I didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing yet. I mean, I only tortured her in the past and later apologised about it. She wouldn’t mind. She shouldn’t hold grudges. I thought sarcastically.

If I was going to place my tent here, I needed to be sure no one could displace me. Not even the future Luna. I felt a plan come together and my smile appeared naturally.

“Shall we go on with the business of the day? Do you feel tired, Luna?” My words were concerning but my tone was mocking.

She noticed it but covered it up with a stern outlook. Some things never change. We continued training, and although it irked me to pass along my valuable skills to yet another clueless version of Ithra, I did it anyway.

Soon enough, I wrapped up the training and Scarlett came to pick her royal highness. I didn’t miss the hard look she threw or how she blatantly ignored me.

There was something up with that one. It was clear she didn’t approve of my coming into this pack. Good thing Cole had a better foresight, and was firm in his decision. I wondered why she was beta anyway.

From my observations, she didn’t deserve it. I could easily defeat her in a duel. What standards did Cole use in making his selections? I thought as I headed to his office to give reports on my observations during today’s training.

“Come in,” Cole ordered after I knocked on his door.

A smile graced my lips as I walked into his office, intentionally swaying my hips as I bit my lower lips.

“Athaliah.” He sounded out of breath and his eyes roamed my body.

Exactly what I wanted.

“Can I sit, Alpha?” I said in a small tone, and his eyes widened slightly.

He never expected me to say that. All along, I’ve made him believe I was this strong confident woman who would not take no for an answer. It has worked up to this point but after much thought and observations, I found that Cole was more drawn to docile and weak women.

For some insane reason, he seemed pleased when a woman was just that – a woman without say or power, the perfect submissive. As I looked at him, I decided I was willing to be just that if it meant I got to be by his side and rule with him until I was trusted enough to be an Alpha of my own.

If I needed to drop my pride to get in Cole’s head – I would do just that.

“Sit.” He breathed and I could see the approval in his eyes.

Slowly, I sat on the chair in front of him, blatantly checking his out, and generously flashing my boobs. It’s been a while since I got some action too. If I scored that today, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

I was the perfect seductress. And if I played my cards right, I would be the perfect Alpha of this pack too. “I came with reports from today’s training with the Luna.” I started slowly, “If you are busy, I could come at a later time to report my findings.”

“Nonsense. I am all ears.” He waved his hand, “Talk to me, what have you observed?”

I cleared my throat and leaned forward. If I was flashing him before, my boobs were fully on display now. “The first thing I noticed was that the environment we created had some effects on her.”

“Explain.” His tone was serious and he paid rapt attention.

“Before she left for the dark forest three years ago, I used to train her in a farmland back at the BloodHound pack to separate her from others as the Alpha wanted her training to be in seclusion.”

“You mean Zadok.” He corrected and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

“Yes.” I continued without missing a beat. “When the Luna stepped into the farmland today, I noticed she was alarmed. Her eyes kept looking around the environment and I half-expected her to make a statement regarding it but she didn’t.”

“I decided to step up my game and abandon the original practice plans for the day, and instead, replicated a training I once taught her three years ago.”

“And?”

A smirk graced my lips. “She fell right into my hands.”

A frustrated sigh left Cole’s lips. “What do you mean?”

“She asked if we had met before.”

A cold silence ensued after my words.

“What did you tell her?” He growled.

Easy boy. I thought, picking offence at his tone but smiling nonetheless.

“I assured her that there was nothing of the sort. However, she might have her reservations.” I said with a faraway look. “It’s clear that she has been seeing things but has refused to share it with us.” My eyes found Cole’s. “You were right with your suspicions, Alpha. I advise that you mark her quickly. She is yours to keep after all.”

I got on my feet, and with a seductive look in my eyes, I found my way to Cole, turning his chair around. “Last night, after the dinner,” I started, getting on my knees. “I figured I didn’t thank you enough for taking me in and showing me kindness.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

A smirk graced his lips, “You don’t say.”

“I had something in mind,” I responded innocently, batting my eyelids.

“Show me.” He said and that did it.

I reached for his belt, palming him through his clothes with my gaze fixed on him. It felt humiliating kneeling before him. The thought of taking him in my mouth brought bile to my throat, but I did it anyway.

With expert precision, I dug out his member and licked him like the best thing I’ve ever tasted. At some point, he took charge and hurt my throat, leaving me little to no breathing space. But I took it regardless. I took it like the champ I was, and the Alpha I would become.

All in due time.
