He’s My Alpha by Cassandra M (Jake & Clair)
Chapter 86
Clair.
I woke up to the sound of movements around me, squinting my eyes to see my mate drying his hair with a towel. He had his pants on, but his chest was still naked. He looked at me, and a smile tugged on his lips. He threw the towel on the chair nearby before walking to the bed.
“How was your sleep?” He asked as he sat at the side of the bed, the mattress dipping under his weight, causing me to slide a little on his side. “Had any dreams?”
I rolled my eyes playfully and grinned at him. “Yeah, like a wet dream.”
“Tell me about it.” He chuckled.
I sat on the bed and slapped his arm lovingly, my fingers trailing on his skin. “I woke up expecting to find you still beside me. Now I’m disappointed.”
He bit his lower lip and eyed me with regret. “I know, baby, but my Beta and Gamma wanted to talk with me now. But I promise that after this, I’m all yours today.”
I flashed him a sincere smile before I cupped his face and placed a kiss on his lips. My movement made the sheet pool down on my waist, leaving my upper body naked. “It’s okay, do what you need to do. I’m just here.”
His eyes dilated as his gaze stopped on my body. His breath hitched, making me giggle as I clutched
the sheet to cover my nakedness. “Go. Before you think I’m seducing you.”
He smiled before his gaze shifted to my neck. He brushed the hair covering it and gently trailed his fingers on my still-sensitive neck, where he had marked me last night. I looked at him, and I saw many emotions flashing in his eyes. He was gazing at me with so much love that it burned me in a good way.
“Did I hurt you with this?” He asked softly, his thumb brushing over his mark.
I shook my head and placed my palm on his cheek, my thumb brushing the corner of his lips. “No. It was pure bliss, it gave me the best o*rgas*m I ever had…”
I moved my body and kneeled in front of him, my fingers trailing up his neck to his soft spot before I captured his eyes again. “I didn’t mark you last night, you f*uc*ked me to oblivion… I couldn’t even think straight.” I bit my lower lip as he chuckled before he closed his eyes, tilting his head upward, giving me access to his neck.
I felt my mouth salivate at the thought of marking my mate. I leaned forward and started kissing his neck, sucking it gently as I made my way to the space between his neck and his collarbone.
I felt his arms wrap around my body as his hand held my waist.
When I was finished sucking his skin, I drew away just enough space for my fangs to elongate, my mouth watering as I sunk my teeth into his skin.
My grip on his shoulders tightened as my teeth pierced his skin, and I kept digging deeper.
A groan erupted from his throat, and it sounded so sexy, making me moan as I pulled my fangs and began sucking and licking the blood that came out of his wounds, letting myself feast on how delicious his blood tasted.
Jake went downstairs thirty minutes ago, and I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I decided to go down as well.
After I freshened up, I put on a Sunday dress and slipped on simple sandals. It amazed me that this was our room. I had my walk-in closet, which I shared with my Alpha. Not that I have so many clothes and shoes, but it would be nice to have this space where I could see everything I owned. And I have a place where I could hurl the Alpha if he ever irritated me.
I chuckled at the idea as I trod down the stairs. The only bad thing about this was that I had to go through four flights of stairs to get to the main floor. But I think I would survive.
Just as I hit the second floor, I almost bumped into a female who looked somewhat familiar but whom I couldn’t point out. She must have been one of the guests last night that I didn’t get the chance to meet since we left early after the ceremony.
She stopped in her tracks, and by the way she was looking at me, I could say she didn’t have a good morning.
A smile curled on my lips as I stopped a few feet away from her. “Hi! I think we weren’t introduced last night. I’m Clair.” I offered her my hand.
Instead of taking it, she scowled at my hand before turning her gaze to me. “I know who you are.” She said it coldly before turning on her feet to walk away.
My blood boiled at her answer. What f*uc*k was her problem?
“Excuse me!” I called her in a cold tone. She stopped but didn’t turn around to look at me. “Do we have a problem here?”
She flipped her blonde hair first before turning to face me. Her arms were now crossed on her chest. “I think we do.”
I frowned at her response. “What’s your problem with me? I don’t even know you.”
She scoffed and stepped forward, her face mirroring mine. “As I said, I know who you are. You took what was rightfully mine!” She spat those words, laced with anger, before turning again toward the stairs.
My mind was clouded with confusion at her words, and when it finally sunk in, she was already out of sight.
Fumed with anger, I followed her to the main floor. How dare she come to my union ceremony and to my packhouse to tell me that I took Jake away from here? I saw her pass through the corridors up to the front door, she was on her way out. Ready to make her pay for her words and her arrogance, I stepped outside the front door, only to halt when I saw some of the warriors gathered there. They bowed down and acknowledged my presence, to which I replied with a smile.
How the f*uc*k would I be able to a*s*sault this female in front of our warriors?
My eyes followed her movement and saw her approach Alpha Caspian, and everything clicked.
The similarities between their features could not be denied.
She was Alpha Caspian’s sister, and Jake went to their territory a day after we shared our first night.
My f*uc*king mate must have screwed this Alpha Female. No wonder she was furious at me.
What the f*uc*k did Jake promise her?
I took a deep breath before I went back inside the pack house, ready to face the root of this evil thing that was slowly breaking my heart.
My f*uc*king mate lied to me. He told me he didn’t touch anyone after our first time.
With my nose flaring, I banged the door open to his office, where I knew he was, not caring to knock. The door slammed against the wall behind it and slammed shut upon impact.
Jake jerked up from his seat and started walking toward me. “Clair, are you okay?” His voice was filled with worry.
I placed my palm up in front of me and stopped him from taking any further steps. “Stop the f*uc*k where you are!” I snapped at him.
His brow furrowed as he came to a halt, a puzzled expression on his face. “What’s going on? What happened?”
“You f*uc*king lied to me!” My voice was starting to get louder.
“Clair…”
“You f*uc*king told me you didn’t touch anyone after the first time we f*uc*ked!”
“Clair, I didn’t. I never had anyone after our first time. And I can a*s*sure you that I will never have another except for you.” His eyes shifted to my
back, it was only then that I smelled that there were other people in the room.
I heard a chuckle behind me, and my head snapped to it. I saw my brother sitting on the loveseat, hands on his chin, stifling his laughter. While the Beta stood beside the window, his face was void of emotions.
“You would have felt if your mate had f*uc*ked another woman, dairy,” Aaron said.
My eyes squinted at Aaron before I turned my attention back to Jake, with my chest heaving.
“That’s the f*uc*king problem! I wouldn’t know because the first time we f*uc*ked, I was only 17!”
Aaron growled and rose to his feet. “What the f*uc*k.”
But before he could finish his words, both I and Jake shut him up in unison. “Shut up!!!”
“Clair, I didn’t. I swear…” He tried to reach out and hold me.
I stepped back away from him. “F*uc*k you, Jake! I’m going to ask you one more time! Did you f*uc*k Alpha Caspian’s sister?”
I heard a growl behind me, making me turn my head toward the Beta.
I rolled my eyes at him. “Thank you, Beta, but I can handle this.” He didn’t say anything, but his hand coiled into a fist. It was weird for him to be this overprotective.
“I told you I didn’t touch anyone. Yesterday was the first time I saw her!” He combed and tugged at his hair in frustration, his eyes never leaving mine.
“Liar! You went to his pack after we spent the night together, and now you’re telling me you didn’t see her?”
“I f*uc*king didn’t see her there! Ask Aaron! She wasn’t there the three days I was there! Ask him please!” Frustration rose from his voice.
My nose flared in anger! A part of me wanted to believe him, but the pain in that female’s eyes was something I would never forget.
“Clair?” I heard my brother. “Where is all this coming from?”
“She told me…” I said in a soft voice. Tears started to well in my eyes, but I did my best not to let them drop while I stared back at my mate.
“Who told you?” The Beta asked. “What exactly did she tell you?” His voice was so low that I barely heard him.
“She told me I took something that was rightfully hers.”
