The Alpha

---Derek’s POV---

Fuck…

I marked her. The one thing I said ‘no’ to. The little temptress.

I was still kissing her neck when she fell asleep, I hesitantly pulled back and stared at her.

Her mouth was slightly parted, lips swollen from our actions, her eyes, peacefully closed, her eyelashes resting in her cheeks.

I sighed as I rolled over on the bed, pinching the bridge on my nose, closing my eyes.

( ‘I want her.’ )

...I don’t care what you want. She’s too weak, fucking fell asleep after marking…

( ‘I want her!’ )

I rolled my eyes and pushed him to the back of my head. My pants felt tight- oh, right… Little grind monster, she is, got me all hot and bothered- when I specifically told her to not tempt me. Look what she did.

I put a blanket over her, and I pulled myself off the bed, leaving her and walking to my room.

Fuck… Now I have a marked, damaged flower. It bothered me slightly that it was mainly the heat talking in her, and I still marked her. If she wasn’t going through heat, that would’ve never happened, I know that for a fact. She’s too traumatized from that fucktard Chris.

Even in my office when we’ve kissed, she would pause before kissing back. And at first, she’d let her hands just hang at her sides. Inexperienced.

I got to my room, grabbing my phone, calling whatever girl was first, telling her to come over. I wasn’t going to go to bed with this boner. The woman came over quickly and got to work. My mind stayed on a brown-haired girl that barred my mark in the other room.

A small flick of anger ignited in my chest at the reminder that marked her. I took the girl on top, flipping us over and diving into her, the room filled with her moans.

( ‘You disgust me. Violet would be so much better.’ )

I pushed it back, I didn’t need to deal with this.

Discomfort bubbled in my gut, and I knew it was a side effect of the bond. No doubt in my mind Violet would wake up from the pain, she’d probably cut herself- luckily I swept the room of potential hazards.

( ‘The fact that you know how she’d react, and you continue to fuck another… distasteful, you don’t deserve her!’ )

...Fuck off...

We were done and I dismissed her, rolling my eyes at the puppy eyes she was giving me. They don’t spend the night- disgusting. I took a shower, getting rid of the girl’s smell.

I wasn’t satisfied at all. Those girls weren't my Flower. They were Violet. Just the thought of her sent pleasure through my body- bringing back the boner that the girl couldn’t get rid of.

Only Violet could and I wasn’t going to barge into her room and fuck her or anything- I would never without her permission.

I fixed my boner with the image of my Flower in my mind- my hand following. I got out of the shower after and went into bed.

Just as I was about to drift off into a slumber, my senses relaxed, my ears picked up. It was faint and made my chest unwillingly ache, her cries muffled by the walls, but still able to be picked up.

I sighed and twisted and turned, trying to rid my ears so the sound. I knew she’d wake up, I knew she’d cry. She’s a crybaby.

My wolf growled, and I growled right back.

Lust never hurt anyone, I don’t know why Violet and my wolf were being such bitches about it. Grow up. It’s not like I told her we were together or anything- excluding the mate bond, altogether.

I should’ve just jacked off in the first place- that girl didn’t even help, wasted a condom for nothing.

My chest and gut were drenched in discomfort. Her cries didn’t stop, and I had half the mind to barge in her room and tape her mouth shut. It was about three in the morning when the cries stopped and I was finally able to go to sleep.
