The Lost Female Alpha

"What does that mean? I thought she was dead." Ryker said, rushing over to my side. I couldn't answer his questions, I couldn't think clearly let alone speak. My mom was alive, she was probably being held hostage by Arthur. I don't know why he was keeping her alive but knowing him, it couldn't be anything good.

"Where is she, why hasn't she contacted you?" Felix asked. Why did they keep asking me questions, couldn't they leave me alone to think?

"She is near where Arthur is, I think he is holding her captive."

The more that I thought about the situation, the more it worried me. I was concerned that Arthur had never told me that he had my mom. He wanted me to be with him and he could have used my mom as leverage to get what he wanted. The fact that he hadn't done so, made me worry that he had hurt her in some way.

Onyx growled in my head, she wanted to kill Arthur already. This was just fueling her hatred even more. She was determined that we would be the ones to rip him to pieces before this thing was over.

"It's going to be ok, we will get her back." Ryker told me. He put his arm around my shoulders and tried to pull my body towards his. Just as he did so, Elijah walked into the room and let out the largest growl I have ever heard.

I expected Ryker to back off immediately after hearing Elijah's growl but if anything his reaction was completely the opposite. He gripped me tighter and pressed his body against mine. I could feel his breath on my neck and even though his wolf wouldn't be awake for a few days yet, I was still nervous. His blunt human teeth could still pierce my skin and I wasn't sure if a mark would form if he bit me in human form.

Part of me wanted to push him away from me but my fear stopped me from moving. Any sudden movement could make him bite me and then what? I am sure Elijah would get used to the idea of sharing me eventually but it would be one heck of a mess. I didn't want to get in the middle of anything like that, one mate was enough for me.

"You have no right to tell me I can't spend time with her. We grew up together, I have known her a lot longer than you have." Ryker growled. Elijah's eyes changed colour and his fangs elongated as his wolf fought with him for control. The only thing standing between Ryker and a painful death was me.

"She is my mate and you want to claim her as your own. Do you really think that I am going to let you do that?" Elijah growled.

"I'm not going to claim her unless she asks me to," Ryker objected.

"Great, now can you get your teeth away from my neck." I mumbled. Ryker groaned in frustration but he let go of my shoulder and took a few steps away from me. I felt Elijah's tension lift immediately through our bond but his anger still remained. His eyes glowed angrily at Ryker as he stalked towards him.

"I have been lenient on you because you grew up together and are practically siblings." Elijah started, throwing our history back into Ryker's face.

"That ends now. If you try to forcibly claim my mate again then I will take it as a challenge, and I won't go easy on you." Elijah continued. Ryker visibly shuddered and took a few more steps away from me. Ava was also upset, Felix pulled her closer to his body and kissed the top of her head to comfort her.

"You are back sooner than you thought." I said, trying to break some of the tension in the room.

"I felt your distress through our bond. I left Mark to finish the negotiations and came straight home. Was he the reason for your distress?" Elijah asked, tilting his head towards Ryker.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I shook my head and explained to Elijah what had happened. He was a little worried that I had taken action without waiting for him to be by my side but his anxiety seemed to dissipate when I told him about my mom. He asked me a lot of questions, most of them I had no way of answering.

At some point during our discussion Ava and Felix left, taking a reluctant Ryker with them. Once we were alone Elijah sat down behind his desk and pulled me into his lap. Having me close was helping to calm his wolf. He buried his nose against my neck and took a few deep breaths.

"You do realise that there is nothing we can do to help your mom, right?" Elijah said, his lips still pressed against my neck.

"Why not?" I tried to pull away so I could look at him but his arms tightened around me, keeping me in place. He kissed and nibbled on my marking spot, making me melt into his embrace.

"It is probably a trap, honey. Even if it isn't, it is just too dangerous to go into the territory of our enemy without any way of defending ourselves."

I knew what he was talking about. Arthur was much better at using his power than I was. We could take a full army into Arthur's territory and it would do nothing. He would be able to control them and make them follow his orders within seconds. I wasn't strong enough to stop it.

If I worked hard to hone my skills then maybe I could learn to block him. Find some way of using my powers to protect my pack members from his powers. Unfortunately, that was going to take a lot of time. Knowing my mom was alive made me inpatient, I wanted to rescue her now, not in a year's time. There had to be some way of getting her out of there sooner. If there was then I was determined to find it.

"I guess you're right," I reluctantly admitted.

"Once I kill him there will be nothing to stop us from rescuing your mom. I promise we will save her, it will just take some time." He told me, stroking my back and kissing the top of my head softly. I leaned into his chest, resting my head on his shoulder and allowing his scent to comfort me.

"Don't get too comfy, I still need to punish you for facing Arthur without me." Elijah said, his voice was husky and just hearing it sent shivers down my spine.

He picked me up and placed me on my feet before walking over to the door and locking it. When he turned back around to face me I could see the desire in his eyes. He stalked towards me like he was a predator stalking his prey. "I am going to spank you ten times for putting yourself in danger." Elijah purred.

"Ten? Last time it was only five." I asked, my voice high pitched with shock.

"I will add two more for talking back. In future you will just agree with my judgement." Elijah replied.

"Yes sir." Elijah rewarded my compliance with a passionate kiss. I pulled him closer to me as his tongue entered my mouth. Elijah's erection was pressing against me, I was already aroused by the thought of him spanking me and he could probably smell my arousal. He kissed me for a few more seconds before pulling away from me.

"Now take off all your clothes and lean over my desk." Elijah instructed.

He sat down at his chair, trying to fake indifference as he waited for me to follow his instructions. He might be able to fake indifferences but I could feel his emotions through our bond and I could feel just how turned on he was. I loved having that power over him and I knew exactly how to wield that power.

I started to remove my clothes, slowly. I have never done any kind of strip tease before and I am not sure if I am a natural at it. Elijah seemed to be enjoying the show however. I could feel his desire increasing and the look in his eyes told me that he wanted nothing more than to come over here and take me.

Once I had finished removing my clothes I did my best impression of a sensual, seductive walk over to Elijah's desk. As I bent over Elijah's desk I felt him approaching me from behind. He ran his fingers all the way from the top of my spin, along my back until they came to rest on my ass. He leaned over me, so close that I could feel his breath against my ear.

"I hope you enjoyed your little strip tease because it's my turn to play now." Elijah growled. He nibbled my ear as he spanked my ass for the first time. The shock of his hand impacting my skin made me cry out in a mixture of pleasure and pain.

With each successive contact I grew progressively more and more aroused. By the time Elijah's hand made contact with my skin for the twelfth time I was a whimpering mess. I have to bite my lip to stop myself from begging Elijah to take me. I was worried that if he knew how aroused I was then he might be tempted to tease me some more.

Elijah silently helped me to stand up straight and led me over to his chair where he pulled me over to him. He claimed my lips as I lowered myself onto his erection until it was filling me completely. A moan left my mouth, the friction of my body against his was exactly what I needed.

"You did so well, you really are amazing." Elijah said, leaning back so he could watch me moving against him. I was already close to reaching my release and every movement I made pushed me closer. Elijah's fingers dug into the flesh of my hips and his groans were getting deeper, a sign that he was getting close.

I ground into him harder, for a few more thrust until my orgasm took over. Elijah held me close, supporting me as the waves of pleasure passed through me. Once the pleasure had subsided Elijah gripped my hips, moving me against him until he reached his climax and spilled his seed deep inside of me.
