Page 12 of The Alpha's Heir

“Sorry, Aidy, I just hate feeling helpless.” She sits on my lap without further instructions, making me smile. She has come a very long way in six weeks, my little Shortie. “I don’t want them to kill him, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.”

Well, I can’t settle for that. “If they sentence him to death after he has changed his plea, accepted responsibility, apologised and agreed to complete the rehabilitation, then I will step in as Alpha and overrule them.” She relaxes against my hand as I stroke circles on her back, holding back a groan of contentment when the mate bond tingles spark throughout my body.

“Thank you, Aiden. I know what he did was wrong, but jeez, he is only a young boy. I felt protective of him.” I smile at her and her willingness to admit she has a tender heart.

“That’s your Luna senses starting to kick in, Eva. Our pack members are like our children and it's our duty to protect them.” She smiles at me and rests her head on my shoulder.

Summer is asleep in her bed, worn out from her day of fun and exploring, and the night is ours for now.

“We still need to discuss our Gamma situation, Eva. Did you give it some thought?”

She rolls her eyes at me and I raise my eyebrows at her. “Is it really necessary, Aidy? We have gotten this far without one.”

I hold my laugh. What she doesn’t know is that nearly every wolf under Beta Preston and Delta Billy has taken a turn guarding her and she has been completely oblivious.

“Every Luna needs a Gamma wolf, sweetheart; we have been over this. You could get pregnant at any time now and I need to know you are all safe if I am not here.”

She is so resistant to the idea of a Gamma wolf. I had hoped we could put this all behind us and concentrate on her getting a Gamma, shifting and us having a Mating Ceremony and her officially becoming Luna. I am getting nowhere with any of the above.

“Okay, I will meet with the wolves you have suggested, but I want the final choice, Aiden. This person is going to be present for a lot of my life, so it best be someone nice.” I nod and relent to her choosing, but internally I smile at her wanting someone ‘nice’. I want someone ferocious, someone who will kill to protect her.

“The final choice will be yours; I promise. Thank you for agreeing to meet them.” She kisses me softly on my lips before making her way down to her mark on my neck. She sucks and nips at it, flooding me with carnal need.

“Oh, I almost forgot!” She jumps off my lap taking away her sexy round ass and her teasing lips off my neck. “I would like to try and shift again.”

Fuck. Me and Eva. In the woods. Naked. And I must concentrate on coaxing out her wolf when all I want to do is bury myself deep inside her.

*** Salma ***

I am being frog marched out of my own club by my husband. I tell him to stop, to wait, but Ale has a right bee in his bonnet.

“Salma. Please, mi amor, just listen to me just this once and I promise I will never ask anything of you ever again. I need to get you away from here. Now. We have to move now.” I listen to him because my normally placid and calm Alejandro is worried about something.

Within four minutes, which is no exaggeration because I checked the CCTV afterwards, Ale had parked his car, marched into my club, convinced me to get out and drove us both away.

“Alejandro Suarez, you have two minutes to explain to me what the fuck is going on or I swear to fucking god, I will make earrings out of your bollocks.” I squeeze his crotch as he drives, so he understands I will cause him pain.

“Fucking hell, Sal, we’ll never get a baby if you chop my balls off, give me a minute.” I move my hand; I do want a baby after all. “I am taking you to my parents’ house, and my father is trying to arrange a meeting between us and the family Dominga belongs to. We have to be very careful, Sal. Whoever poisoned your papa has been able to get very close to us without detection. I am trying to protect you.”

My first instinct is to attack. I want to attack Ale for insisting on protecting me. Do I look like a fair maiden? Do I need rescuing? Then I think of choking Dominga the stupid whore for starting all this. I could easily entwine my fingers around her throat and squeeze the life from her.

“Before you start ranting at me that you don’t need protecting, Salma Morales, your papa probably thought the same thing and he’s now dust in a box on your Mami’s mantlepiece, so spare me the sexist remarks. I fucking love you and if any bastard wants to harm what is mine I will burn the fucker alive. Understand?”

Fuck! I have never been so turned on in my whole entire life!

“Pull over now!” I shout at him, and give him his due, he pulls into the layby we were about to pass. I quickly push the lever, moving his chair all the way back into a lying position and I straddle him. “That was so fucking hot, Ale!”

Crashing my juicy lips over his, my tongue darts into his mouth and passion quickly ignites and spreads throughout me. Ale growls in approval, his hands automatically skim over my tight skirt and search for the bottom of my blouse. He pulls it free from my waist band and lays his rough, warm hands on my back.

I moan into his mouth; I love the way he touches me. I love how his words get me aroused into a stupor even when they annoy me.

“No, stop, Sal. I need to get to my parents now. I am being deadly serious. Someone has been following us.” He tells me as he springs my boobs out of my bra and pinches my left nipple, groaning as it puckers at him and his touch. “You are too goddamn sexy for your own good, woman!”

I laugh at him as I slide off him and sit back on the passenger seat, and he groans in displeasure. “You told me to stop Ale, make your mind up.” He gives me a cheeky grin.

“Would you do anything I asked you to do, Chula? Only for me?” Yearning shoots directly to my core.

“All you have to do to find out is ask Alejandro… tell me, tell your wife what you want her to do.” He sucks in air through his teeth.
