Healing The Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 14

Aristo kept me company in Cahir’s suite but then night arrived and he had to prepare for the night party since he missed the official one. The initiation would start in thirty minutes and all pack members were required to attend but I didn’t feel like it and I couldn’t be damned to attend a ceremony for Kade.

“When will – When will he be back?” I asked Aristo as he made to take his leave.

For the last two hours, I waited for Cahir’s return but there was no sign of him anywhere. My wolf felt his absence and it made her go silent. The dread of what would happen with him was enough to tire her out with worry.

“He is using this visit to settle some things with the Alpha of Blue Blood pack. Don’t worry, he will be back.”

The Blue Blood pack were the closest to us here. It irked me that while I was waiting with bated breath for him, he was out conducting business. Did he not want me or what? If he was going to reject me, the least he could do was spare me the anxiety of waiting for his verdict.

My wolf whimpered at the thought of another rejection. I suffered through Kade’s rejection but my wolf may not be able to bear two rejections in a lifetime.

I fell asleep after Aristo left. Nightmares of a big black wolf chasing me out of an unfamiliar pack plagued my dreams until a sharp, searing pain woke me from my sleep. I gasped, pressing my hand to my chest as what felt like a burning spear pierced into my heart. The clock on the wall to my left showed the time to be midnight. That, coupled with the pain spreading through my veins, let me know the time had come.

‘Welcome, Alpha Kade!’ My head exploded as a hundred voices shouted their congratulations as a new pack link opened up with the new Alpha. This was another downside of being an omega. Pack

links were dangerous for people with low power like myself. I could already feel a migraine setting in as the voices in my head cheered like someone was beating my head with a hammer.

After what felt like hours of struggling, I managed to block out the incessant and annoying voices of my pack mates. With peace and quiet restored to my life, I stretched in the bed that felt like clouds underneath me, then I turned and hugged a fluffy pillow.

“Sia,” I heard a voice like a roaring thunder in my head, making me jolt upright. “Where the fuck are you?” I knew that voice and I recognized another link opening up with the Alpha.

“Leave me alone, Kade.” I turned, attempting to close the link Kade opened with me but he held on to the mind link.

“You’re not allowed to miss my ceremony. Where the fuck are you? You better not be with that asshole!” I heard the growl in his voice. In fact, I felt the growl in the communication channel he opened with me. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“That ‘asshole’ is my mate!” I exclaimed, sitting upright in bed.

“Isn’t it too early to call me names, little wolf?” Light flooded into the room, almost blinding me. “We only just met.” Cahir stood at the doorway, his massive frame looking too large for the room as he walked in.

His weight sank into the bed beside me and my body automatically gravitated to his. He gripped my chin and forced me to look at him.

“Who are you talking to?” His dark eyes probed my face, wandering all over my skin and making me blush. The look in his eyes – He looked predatory, as if I was game and he had captured me. I felt like his prey with the way his eyes roamed across my body.

“It’s – My alpha,” I muttered, pulling away when his blank expression turned harsh.

In the background of my mind, I heard Kade shouting obscenities at me and threatening me for daring to miss an event as important as the Alpha’s initiation but I could not focus on his tirade when Cahir looked at me with his intense dark eyes boring a hole into my skull.

“Shut him out.” His quiet voice became even quieter. The hair on my hands stood on end and my body tried to curve into itself. With just a few words, he turned the atmosphere cold. “Don’t keep me waiting.” There was no threat in his voice, nothing to give his emotions away but I could tell – I could feel the anger in him. I could even taste it on my tongue and goddess, it was bitter.

“I – I can’t –“ I tried but I did not have the mental capacity to close such a strong mind link.

Opening or closing a mind link was akin to opening or closing a large and heavy metal lid. Alphas and Betas could do it with ease because they had the strength, but weaker wolves have to struggle to achieve it and most times, we failed as we lacked the power to.

“You should do as I say.” He leaned into me and my breath hitched. “I expect you to do as I say.” Panic lodged a wedge in my throat as his voice started to reverberate with anger. He was having a harder time controlling his anger and it showed in the way his eyes turned from black to the red of his wolf.

“Close the mind link, Kade.” I urged the new Alpha, my skin tingled and I swallowed down saliva, feeling suffocated.

“I am not closing the mind link. Heck, I’m coming to look for you! Where are you?” This bastard was going to get me into trouble without even trying.

I exerted as much mental energy as I could trying to close the link but it did not work and to Cahir, it probably seemed like I was having a conversation in my head and ignoring him.

I opened my eyes to look and him and it startled me how close he had gotten to me. His nose almost brushed mine with his hand still firm on my jaw.

“Do you need help?” His quiet tone had a small hitch that made me shiver.

“W – What?” My eyes widened as his face came even closer and then his lips covered mine in a soft, slow kiss. My mind blanked, everything around me went still and then I was flooded with the scent of sandalwood, his scent.

The kiss was slow and unlike the first one we ever shared. His lips moved against mine in a slow manner as if he wanted to savor the taste of my lips. His hand dropped from my chin to my shoulder and then to my back as he pulled me forward, lifting me into his lap.

He caressed down to my waist and then one hand entered my shirt. I shivered as he groped my breast, strong hands kneading my flesh. His hand went behind me to unhook my bra and I paused.

“Oh –“ I gasped when he kissed down to my neck and grazed his teeth against the side of my neck. My wolf perked up, hypersensitive to the spot he was sucking on while he pulled and pinched my nipples.

“That’s the spot! Right there –“ Asena was going crazy as he bit my neck. It was not enough to leave a mark but from her reaction, I knew she wanted him to leave his mark on us.

“Right here –“ Cahir growled, looking up at me from underneath dark hair falling into his eyes. “You will wear my mark right here.” Asena howled at his words.

“You’ll mark me?” I purred, Asena taking over for a brief second. He kissed my neck again and then kissed down my throat. His saliva left a cool trail on my throat and his hand trailed down to my waist again, leaving my breast aching.

“I want to split you open,” he mumbled against my skin. “I am aching to see you splayed on my cock.” His quiet words had a harsh quality to them that sent a jolt of liquid hot desire straight to my core. “The scent of your arousal –“ He pulled my shirt and I raised my hand to be rid of it, leaving my upper body bare to him. “Your scent is making me want things.” His face disappeared between my breast and I cried out as he bit the space between them.

“You will look fucking fantastic on my cock,” he boasted. “Your body – You have a nice body.” I swallowed as his harsh words brought back unpleasant memories.

“I know,” I answered in a dry tone. Kade let me know how ‘breedable’ my body was but he rejected me in the end.

“You know?” He pulled away from me with a sharp tone. “Who has been making comments about what’s mine?” He snarled, his hot breath in my face.
