Chapter 29 – Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

Filed To Story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

After I had announced to the pack that I had found my mate and I went to retrieve that mate for everyone to see, that was when I saw her for the first time that night. The moon was shining through the trees just enough to make the dress shimmer partially. I could see her perfectly. The gray used on her eyes, the blood-red lips, the little silver moon like beads that seemed to be floating in her hair, the pale moon color of her skin.

The sight of her stopped me in my tracks. I gasped when I saw her. My wolf was switching through howling and panting in my ears. My mate, my mate, my mate. He growled repeatedly. He was chomping at the bit, fighting to get to her. I hauled him back by the scruff of his neck, telling him NO. My wolf growled at me, but he settled onto his haunches.

I led her to the platform and introduced her. A she-wolf of mid-rank was not happy and caused a scene. I was about to end the commotion when Little Bunny’s aunt and Noah’s mate stepped forward. The aunt smacked the she-wolf so hard she nearly fell on her ass. Then the two put her in her place. The sight was satisfying.

After my momentary shock at seeing the scene passed, I ended all commotion and forced the pack to accept my mate. The Goddess had chosen her, and I had no other choice so neither did they.

Michael performed the vows ceremony. After which it was time for me to mark her. I wish I didn’t have to, but there was no getting past it. I pulled her close to me, whispered in her ear to not scream. If she did, they might think her weak. Then I sunk my teeth into her soft tender flesh.

I felt her jerk in my arms. The jolts of heat and electricity began almost immediately. They were passing from me to her with greater intensity with each passing second. The point where my mouth clamped down onto her was the hottest part, but I could feel the heat spreading throughout her whole body. The heat was causing a reaction low in my body.

When all the heat and jolts of electricity were done, and the marking was over, I released her from the bite, licked it once and pulled away from her. Michael announced to the crowd that we were the Alpha and Luna. It was official now. She would have my mark on her forever.

She was weak from the marking and could not stand on her own. I had to have one of the guards carry her. Leslie offered, but strangely she quickly said no, a look of fear in her eyes. Vincent carried her instead. Noah also called his mom and mate and had them go and help her out of the dress and get ready for bed.

I was on my way to her room now, following the ceremony. I saw Vincent outside her door, Leslie was nowhere in sight, his scent long gone. I dismissed Vincent and knocked on the door calling her name.

“Riviana?” She answered it almost immediately. Nerves and a hint of fear clear in her eyes.

What I noticed most when she answered the door, was the skimpy little nightie she was wearing. Was she trying to seduce me? Did she have expectations for this evening?

I growled. I’m not exactly certain why. Frustration? Anger? Arousal? Whatever the reason, the sound rumbled from my chest and caused her to stiffen slightly.

“Joaquin?” She asked me, confused.

“Hello Little Bunny.” I knew she hated the nickname, and that made me smile every time I used it. I saw her eyes tighten in anger.

“I’m not a bunny.” She snapped her usual retort. I wonder how long she will continue to object when I use the name.

“We need to talk.” I told her, a hint of urgency and command in my voice. I knew that my commands would have less effect on her now that we were officially mated, and she was the Luna. She was not an ordinary pack member now so she would be able to defy me to a certain extent, but I didn’t know if she knew that.

“Ok.” She answered, stepping aside and letting me into the room. She shut the door behind me.

As soon as we were alone, I turned on her. Pinning her in place with a glare so firm that no one in the pack had ever been able to withstand it. She would most likely cower in fear from it, from me, for the rest of her life.

“What is it?” She asked me, her voice not quite as shaky as I expected. In fact, she looked annoyed. Interesting.

“We need to make a few things clear.”

“About what?”

“You and I.”

“And?”

“We are nothing.” I told her.

“We are mates.” She told me.

“In name only. We will never be anything more. Do you understand me? I will never see you as anything more than a means to an end. You’re a weak little girl that has no wolf. You will do your duties to the pack and do as you are told. But you and I will never be official mates.”

“Really?” She questioned, looking taken aback by my words.

“Yes. I never wanted a mate in the first place. Women are weak. They make you weak. Having you around will only drag me down. Do your best not to drag me or my pack down. You will come with me on pack business. You will attend to the women and children, I will attend to the men, run the pack as a whole, and run my corporation. Unless we have to work together on business, we will have nothing to do with each other.” I made my voice as firm and angry as I could. “You are nothing to me.” I added.

Her nostrils flared, eyes narrowed, breathing deepened. She was clearly angry.

“I’m nothing to you?” She asked me. “Really? That’s rich. I know you feel the mate bond as much as I do.”

“That doesn’t matter. I can ignore that, and you, just fine.”

“Let’s just see about that.” She mumbled.

“What’s that?” I asked her, angered by her words.

“Nothing.” She snapped at me. “Fine, I’m nothing to you, you are nothing to me. I didn’t choose you either if you remember. I tried to run away. I didn’t want to stay here in the first place, but you forced me to, you barbaric brute. Now I am stuck with you for the rest of my life.

I have no choice but to be the Luna of your pack.” She was nearly hyperventilating as she yelled at me. “Why the hell didn’t you tell me any of this before I agreed to be the Luna tonight?” She demanded.

“Simple.” I told her. “You wouldn’t have agreed to be the Luna if I told you.”

“You are damned right I wouldn’t.” She yelled. “Why the hell would I agree to be the mate for someone who will not treat me as an official mate.”

“So are you telling me you expected us to be like a normal mate couple, falling in love, being happy, having a loving family. That will never happen. Eventually we will consummate the bond and have a child to carry on my family line, but other than that, there will never be anything between us.”

“Oh, you must be out of your damn mind if you think I’m ever going to let you touch me. If I am nothing to you, then you can’t touch me either. After all, you can’t touch nothing.”

“Oh, really? You think you can resist me?” Her eyes burned with fury at my words.

“Just try me Fido, I will do everything in my power to make sure you never touch me in an intimate way for as long as I live.” I growled when she called me that ridiculous dog name again. I stepped across the room, backing her up against the wall. One hand beside her head, the other gripping her chin firmly.
