Chapter 149 – Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

Filed To Story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

That was fine with me, I would rather not have a fresh vamp that didn’t know how to control themselves, especially around my mate. I didn’t often deal with vampires, even though my family has been dealing with them going back a very long time. The emissary coming today was actually from the company run by the vampire that my great-grandfather knew. Apparently, that vampire knew my family back when they still lived in Europe before coming over on the boats to America.

I had never met that vampire, nor the one coming today, but I was not so immature or inexperienced that I didn’t know how to react around them. Still, it was a little unsettling that I was having a hard time pinpointing their location as they approached my house. I guess this is part of that whole shadow walking that I had heard of. He must be approaching the house in the shadow of the trees.

I focused my eyes on the shadows, looking for the slightest hint of movement. There! That’s him, it’s gotta be. I noticed a slight flicker of movement in the shadows as if he would appear for just the barest fraction of a second before disappearing again, only to reappear in the shadow of another tree. So, that’s how they can move so easily in the daylight even if they were still sensitive to the sun. And it explained why his scent seemed to drift in and out, making it even harder to pinpoint him. That was actually a little unsettling.

I realized that Riviana had noticed his scent too. She had most likely noticed mine as well, which didn’t disappear and reappear, and she probably didn’t think too much of the other scent at first. But I noticed that her ears pricked up and she looked to be on guard. She had noticed the strange scent but couldn’t see who it was.

The vamp moved quickly, approaching my mate in the blink of an eye. I was glad that he wasn’t close enough to see her training, I didn’t need other groups knowing about her ice wolf just yet. At least, I hoped he hadn’t seen it. I should get down there, now. I took off running toward the yard as quickly as I could.

“Can I help you?” I heard Little Bunny’s voice. She was making it known that she was talking to the individual that she didn’t know. I don’t know if she knew that I was there and listening, or if she just didn’t know how to adjust the frequency of her telepathic communication yet. Or perhaps it was harder for her to talk to someone without me hearing it unless she was making it an explicitly secret conversation.

“Do not speak to me inside my head, wolf. That is not an ability you should have, not as a wolf or a woman.” I heard the condescending tone in the man’s thickly accented voice. He had better watch his tongue around her. He was likely to catch hell from me and my little mate.

“Excuse me?” I heard Riviana’s voice as if it were spoken aloud now. Did she shift back into her human form? No, I could still see her beautifully furry self standing in front of the man.

Now that I looked at the man directly I wanted to laugh. He looked like the stereotypical vampire. I had met at least three vampires before this one and they looked like normal people, if a little more pale or a little too aristocratic. What the hell was wrong with this man?

The vampire emissary standing in front of my mate was around five-feet-eight inches tall with black hair, a pasty white face, and all black clothing. He screamed emo goth punk, except he looked like he was in his thirties and not some teenager that was rebelling against daddy. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the whole goth thing. But there’s always a clear difference in those that are truly goth and embrace the look and those that are doing it for the attention. The vamp looked like the latter of the two. I wanted to laugh if I wasn’t currently running to meet up with them.

“Humph!” I heard the vamp scoff as I got closer to them, even just that sound seemed accented with what sounded like Dutch or something similar. “Why is a worthless woman like yourself even out here. Shouldn’t you be inside the house, cooking, or cleaning, or raising kids, you know something womanly. Why is a woman even learning to fight? Why can’t you be more like Selene, the goddess of vampires? She was a beauty that worshipped men, she never tried to emulate them, so disgusting.” Oh this man was already on my nerves, I could just imagine how my Little Bunny was going to react.

“Look, mister, I have no idea who you are but you don’t have the right to come to my house and start insulting me.” She snapped at him.

“Luna, let me handle this.” Vincent stepped in between my mate and the vampire, already having shifted back and wearing nothing but a pair of dark jeans. “Sir, you’re a vampire correct? Did you come for a meeting with the Alpha?” Vincent was very diplomatic, but I noticed the slight restrained note in his voice. He hadn’t taken kindly to his Luna being insulted by the newcomer.

“Indeed I am, pup, where might I find him.” The man’s condescending tone knew no bounds apparently. I saw Vincent tilt his head as if he was confused by the man’s attitude toward them.

“He should be here any second now.” Vincent answered, knowing full well that I was running all out to where they were. He had no doubt caught my scent several moments ago. I saw the twins, Shane and Shawn, walking out of the trees, also wearing their jeans and nothing else, having gone to shift back after Vincent had returned to handle the man’s attitude.

“How unprofessional of him. An Alpha who doesn’t know how to greet his important visitors properly. How disgraceful. Ugh, I don’t know why we even deal with you lot.” His sneering voice and whining tone was really grating at me.

“Look, whoever you are, Joaquin will be here any moment now and he has been extremely busy, your attitude is not appreciated.” I heard my mate defending me, the sound of it brought a swell of affection to my heart, but it was chased away by rage at the man’s next words, and actions.

“Do not speak to me you filthy woman. Women should know their place.” He blinked out of the area he was in only to reappear in the shadow laying directly in front of my Little Bunny. I watched in horror, rage flowing through me, as he struck out with his foot and kicked her on her left upper flank.

My little bunny yelped in pain and was sent flying directly toward me. I shifted and caught her before she had gone more than ten feet. I saw red when looking at the man. I couldn’t blame the guards, they had been standing protectively in front of her as they should have been but that made no difference when he blinked out of one spot and reappeared in another.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I roared at the man as soon as I had caught my tiny little mate in my arms.

“Alpha?” I heard the three guards shout in surprise as they heard my roaring voice.

“Shawn, please take her.” I instructed the guard closest to me, reluctantly handing her over to him. I now stood in front of the vampire stark naked and righteously pissed off. “You come to my home, seeking a meeting with me and you attack my mate. What the hell do you think you’re doing? Do you think I will let that slide?” I snarled at him.

“Just try doing something about it.” He taunted me, snarling right back at me.

“Just watch me.”

My wolf had snarled in my ear at the man’s taunting words. Neither of us would take his attitude lying down. He would pay for touching her.

As soon as I prepared to fight the condescending vampire blinked into the shadows again, coming into view once more right in front of Shawn and Riviana.” Shawn leapt back, trying to avoid the man as he protected his Luna. He managed to keep my Little Bunny from getting hurt but he took the blow across his upper left arm. Three long, thin lines opened up in his flesh spilling blood down to his elbow and wrist. The blood was starting to soak into the white fur of Riviana’s wolf.

“Ugh, the smell of wolf blood is so repulsive.” The vampire said in disgust.

“You son of a bitch.” I snarled at him, rage overflowing for his continued attack on my mate and her guards. “I will kill you for what you’ve done.”

“Ha, I’d love to see you try. You are insignificant compared to me you mongrel of a mutt.”

“Prepare to eat those words, bloodsucker.” I could feel the rage intensifying within me. It was spreading, burning me from the inside out. Shane and Vincent had already rushed over to where Shawn and my Little Bunny were. Vincent took hold of my Little Bunny while Shane checked his brother.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Shawn growled while eyeing the vampire with rage.

“You two provide backup for the Alpha, I’m getting her out of here.” Vincent commanded the other two.

“I’m fine, let me help.” What was she thinking? Telling them that she wanted to help with the fight was she stupid.

“NO!” I roared as loud as I could without taking my eyes off of the cliche of a vampire. “Get her out of her, NOW!” I commanded them.

“Vincent, put me down right now.” She countered my command. For some reason he followed her order over mine.

“Vincent, take her away.” I commanded.

“NO!” She yelled right back at me. “I am not leaving, do you hear me, ignore him Vincent.” She ordered the man in front of her.

“Alpha, I don’t know why but I need to follow her commands over yours.”

“Damn it, Vincent, do as I say.” I growled fiercely putting all the weight of my authority into the command, still he ignored me.

“I can’t.” He looked shocked. I yelled, a meaningless roar of frustration. I wanted her out of here and somewhere safe dammit.

“You should be paying attention to me.” I heard the vampire taunt me just as he blinked out of sight and reappeared near Riviana again, Vincent quickly and deftly avoided the attack, protecting my mate.

“If you touch her again I swear by the Goddess I will kill you.” I heard the blood sucker laugh derisively at my statement.

“I’d like to see you try.” It really annoyed me, his high and mighty voice speaking as if he was better than all of us. It was even annoying me that he spoke perfect English despite his thick accent, everything about him bothered me.

“I hope you’re ready Count Gothula.” I insulted him as I shifted back into my wolf form

I saw him once again blink out of sight. Knowing that he was about to go after my Little Bunny again, that he was going to try to attack my mate, that he was trying to hurt MY Riviana, I felt the heat of anger explode inside of me.

Everything seemed to slow down, almost like time was standing still or close to it. I could see everything with perfect clarity. The heat inside of my body was growing by the second. It was so hot that I felt like I was going to melt at any moment.

Suddenly, there was a strange sensation running through me, as if my entire body had been numb and I could feel the tingling pinpricks of feeling coming back to me as my body finally started circulating blood again. The feeling kept growing and growing. It moved from the pinpricks to a stabbing and shooting pain filling my whole body. But still, I did not take my eyes off the vampire or my Little Bunny, not for a second.

I could see he was making his way closer to her through the shadows. Moving just a few feet at a time in each quick blinking of his existence. Just as the pain and heat inside me reached the level of being unbearable, the pain stopped, and the heat subsided. But then, for some reason, the entire yard seemed to start glowing, as if there was a bright light shining from somewhere behind me.

The light flickered, like it was a flame. I could only guess that one of the guards had lit a fire to drive away the shadows, taking away the vampire’s ability to shadow walk. The idea was genius and would probably work. With no shadows near him, the bloodsucker would have no way to blink toward my mate or away from me.

I felt a big toothy, wolfish grin spread across my face as I thought about how I was going to kill the man in front of me. He must have sensed my bloodlust, my rage, because he stood there for just a second like he was frozen in place with fear filling his eyes. He took a small step away from me, backing toward the cover of the trees and more shadows. I wasn’t going to let him get away that easily.

I leapt, quick as I could, and slammed into the goth poser. He landed onto the ground with so much force that his rancid breath hit me full in the face as it rushed out of him. I growled low and long into his face, letting him hear the frustration and anger he had caused to well up inside of me. I wanted him to know this was his fault, all his fault. He was going to die now and it was entirely his own fault.

“Get off of me you abomination.” His thickly accented voice wavered as he tried to sound confident and sure of himself. “Ger aus of mir.” His perfectly crafted English was slipping, letting German mix with it. ‘Get off of me’ the mixed words said. “Weggehen wolf! Weggehen.” He screamed the words in German. ‘Get off wolf! Get off’ I had no problem understanding what he was saying.

Before I could respond the vampire started screaming and I could smell ashes. His screaming was loud and unceasing.

‘I told you I would kill you.’ I snarled at him but it came out in the barking growl of a wolf. I said not another word before I opened my jaw and bit down right across his throat. His blood burst into my mouth, thick and disgusting. He tasted of dirt, ash, and mold. It was appalling.

I stepped away from him, keeping my anger under a semblance of control, and noticed the vampire had caught fire at some point.
