The Rogue Alpha’s Claim

“Toby has told me everything.” Kane confirmed her fears, but he had craftily forgotten (omitted) to add how he had almost strangled Toby when he found out the real truth.

“Okay?” Ariel tightened her arms around her torso, providing a shield for her.

“May I come in?” Kane asked, and Ariel pursed her lips, not sure she wanted to spend the next few minutes confined in the same room with him, especially with how her hormones were raging.

“I guess so.” She shrugged her shoulders, moving aside and letting him enter inside.

Just as she suspected, his aura filled the room, leaving no room for any intruder. His scent filled her nose, her brain, and her entire being, clouding her mind until all she could think was him.

Snap out of it, Ariel. She was trying to will herself not to do something crazy, but it was nearly impossible.

She was awfully aware that she was ovulating, and each cycle came with its own symptoms, but this time, all she wanted was to hump anything that had a cock.

It has been too long since she felt a man in her, and if not for the stupid rule she had-never to self-pleasure-she would have long relieved herself. She had always seen the act as degrading and would prefer to seek the company of a man.

Call her a hypocrite, but that was how she was.

However, with this male in the room with her, all rational thoughts flew from her head like a feather in the wind.

“Ariel!” Kane’s stern voice was cutting her off, and she looked up to meet his eyes, her knees suddenly weak and barely able to keep her weight all because of this man. “Get a hold of yourself.” His voice softened as he spoke, but Ariel’s eyes widened as she realized the implication of his words.

“W-wait, ca-can y-y-you?” She pointed to her nose, unable to get the words out. But Kane understood what she was trying to say, and he decided to save her the trouble.

“Yes, I can. Please control yourself, as I am having a hard time here.”

“Hmm.” Ariel whimpered, her brain not processing anything other than the hard. Does that mean he was… “Oh my.” The room temperature has suddenly gone up, and she has fanned herself furiously with her hands, unable to keep the blush away.

“Ariel!”

“Oh my!” Ariel moaned, his voice triggering something deep in her. “Kane.” Her face was flushed as she breathed out his name. Tiny beads of sweat gathered on her forehead, and she was shifting from feet to feet.

Is she on…? Kane refused to believe the possibility that his mate could be going through what was strictly for wolves. She had lost her wolf a long time ago, and there was no way this could be happening.

If she was truly going through heat, he should also be affected.

“Come here.” He motioned to her, watching the way she waddled to him. She released a gasp as he touched her skin, and the delicious scent of her musk filled the air.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Kane took a deep breath, letting it fill all his senses, and he slowly opened her eyes. “Oh fuck.” He cursed as he saw Ariel staring at him with those sultry eyes, her lips all plump and red and slightly open.

She was sending an invitation. It was a dangerous invitation, and the goddess knew it was taking everything in him not to respond to it.

“Let us get you to bed.” Kane took her hand, hissing as the sparks enveloped between them. He ignored the sparks that danced between them, and he led her to the bed.

He laid her gently on the bed, covering her with her blanket, and he stood up to go, but tiny hands clutched his shirt.

“W-where are you going?” There was genuine fear in her eyes, and he considered dropping everything just to stay by her side.

“I will be right back. I just have to-”

“No, please don’t go.” Ariel whined, and her hands clutched his shirt tighter. “Don’t leave me.”

Kane’s chest rose as he took a deep breath, releasing it rather slowly. He was supposed to talk her into deleting the post, but now he was tending to her.

“Fine.” He sat on the bed close to her, and he reached out, holding her hands. “You will be fine.”

Meanwhile, he was already contacting Denise-the pack nurse-through the mind link, informing her of what was happening to her mate.

‘Do you think she is going through heat?’ Denise asked while flipping through the book of remedies.

‘I don’t know. Just get her something that would put her to sleep, and we could discuss the issue better. I will be in her room.’

“Yeah, alpha,” Denise replied, and the connection was gone.

Kane’s hands were in his mate’s hair, strolling gently and loving how smooth and silky her hair was. Her eyes were closed, but her breathing was still normal-an indication that she was not asleep.

“Ariel?”

“Hmm.” She groaned, opening her eyes slightly but being unable to focus them.

“Where is your phone?” Kane asked, taking a risk. He knew she would be too out of it to take note of what he was doing, yet he was dreading when she finally came to herself and wondered how she would react.

“It is nothing I can’t handle.” Kane reassured himself.

“Pillow.” Ariel mumbled, unable to keep her eyes focused. She finally settled on closing them.

Kane’s hands were under her pillow, searching for the electronic device, and he was smiling as he picked it up and entered her pin.

Don’t ask how he knew it, but there was nothing about Ariel that he didn’t know.

He went straight for the annoying app; her post was the first thing he saw as he entered the app.

“Goddess, just how popular is she?” Kane exclaimed as he watched the number of likes keep increasing. It was currently at 6 thousand plus, and he feared how many of them were his enemies.

He wasted no time deleting the post, and only then could he breathe freely.

Kane was beating himself up for not owning any social media accounts. If he had, he would have noticed it right away and dealt with it, and this would have been a thing of the past. He made a mental note to ask one of the tech guys in the pack to track down the post and delete it.

His ears pricked as he heard the approaching footsteps, and he slid the phone back under the pillow, standing up and walking towards the door before Ariel would notice.

“The drugs should subside whatever is going on in her body and put her to sleep. Whenever you are free, we could discuss what could be wrong with her.”

“Hmm.” Ariel’s whimpers could be heard even from the hallway, and Kane was already flying to her side, leaving Denise to shut the door.

He had grabbed a bottle of water on his way, and the bed sank as he sat on it, cradling her head towards him. “Can you open up for me?” Kane whispered in her ears, and he was almost choking on his saliva as she opened her legs. “N-no, baby, I mean your mouth.”

Her mouth opened in a little ‘O’, but it was enough for him to place the tablet on her tongue and a little water. “You can swallow now.”

He watched as her throat bobbed, swallowing the content, and only then was he satisfied.

The effect was almost instantaneous; he noticed the drop in her temperature and her flushed skin returning to its healthy glow.

Her breathing had returned to normal, although it was getting slower as she drifted to dreamland.

“Rest your head, love; I will be there when you wake up.” It was as if Ariel was waiting for that word, and with the prompt, her eyes shut tight on her way to dreamland.

Kane watched his beautiful mate and the soft rise and fall of her chest as she inhaled and exhaled, and he was baffled at whatever demon had possessed her.

He leaned towards her, planting a kiss on her temple, and with a promise to return, he left for Denise.

He had to find out what was wrong and a possible solution in case it became a regular occurrence.
