The Alpha’s Forbidden Love

LUCY

My plans to win Cade’s trust were finally coming through. What did it take me to win his trust? Pretty simple, I told him about the alpha’s summit and how it would be a great opportunity to attack.

Chris had told me of the forthcoming summit and the date. Oh, yeah, I lied about the date to Cade. There was no way I would tell him the exact date. An invasion of the pack with Cade’s absence would be disastrous to the people in it.

I was now part of the team that would lead the invasion although my mother was against it. She wanted me to have nothing to do with Cade or his evil plot. She wanted me out of the plan. I understood her fears and worries but that was the only way to get on his good side.

“I know you seek revenge for your father’s death but this isn’t worth it,” she said.

“Who said I was seeking revenge? I have my plans, you shouldn’t bother yourself over nothing,” I said.

My mother wasn’t convinced yet, no matter how she tried to talk me out of it it won’t change my decision. The only way to win Cade was to beat him at his own game.

Speaking of Cade, I had a meeting with him and I was running late. “Shit,” I mumbled. I kissed my mother goodbye and dashed out before she thought of stopping me.

“Why are you late?” Cade inquired.

“I’m so sorry. I had things to do,” I said.

“Things like what?” he asked again to my annoyance

“That’s none of your business, stay away from my personal life and I’ll stay away from yours,” I snorted.

“I see you’re back to wagging your tongue again, that’s good. It reminds me of the fearless girl you used to be,” he smirked.

“Wait till I bring you down, you bastard,” I mumbled.

Maverick and the other troops walked into his chambers before he got the chance to say any other word. They had just finished their training. What surprised me was that Maverick was part of his troop. He was the one acting differently like Cade was a bad guy and he wasn’t. No one could be trusted after all.

“Now that everyone is here, let’s begin,” Cade said. “We all know how important this is to us and its significance, if there is anyone that is against this course say so now or hold your peace.”

I raised my hand to the surprise of anyone. “You want out?” Cade asked.

“Oh, sorry. I thought you were done speaking,” I said. “I’m in, I just want to know what is in it for us, am I right?”

The rest nodded in affirmation. “Tell us, Cade, we can’t back you up without knowing what we get in return,” one of them asked.

Cade glared at me. “Once we take over the pack, you all have a chance at the table with me.

“So we are risking our lives only to sit at a table with you, that’s not fair enough. We should have a right to the city as well,” I said then turning to the others I asked, “Don’t you agree with me?”

“I agree,” Maverick said. Alas, the psychopath agreed with me.

I knew this wasn’t Cade’s plan, he was going to gather enough warriors for himself and when they succeeded, he would abandon them. There was nothing Cade would say or do, he had to agree to this new offer else there would be no one on his side.

The meeting continued after the agreement and it was a long, boring conversation. At the end of it, everyone returned to their tent while Cade asked me to wait behind.

“What games are you playing with me, child?” his nostrils flared as he growled at me.

“What did I do wrong? I only asked a question. You don’t expect me to risk my life out there and get nothing in return,” I said.

“I’m here,” a strange voice said.

“Did you hear that?” I asked, there was no other person with us in the chambers but the voice was so loud and clear.

“Hear what, it’s just the both of us here,” Cade answered.

“I heard something, I’m sure of it,” I said, very convinced. I wasn’t going crazy, was I?

“Lucy,” I heard the voice again. I wasn’t going crazy for sure, the voice was clearer and I was the only one hearing it.

“Is everything alright?” Cade asked.

I ignored his question and stormed out of his chambers, he thought I was crazy. He didn’t need to say it out loud, his expression said it all.

This person was communicating with me through the mind link which was impossible except during the full moon when we shifted forms. It was midday. No one had such abilities, none that I’ve heard of.

“Over here,” the voice said. I turned but there was no one. I raced to the field but there wasn’t anything unusual there, just a group of people training.

“It’s me, Chris,” the voice said again. “Chris!!” I screamed.

Everyone turned to me like I was crazy. I apologized and left the field before I made things worse. How was he talking to me through the mind link? Was it an alpha thing or a mate thing? I was utterly confused.

I followed his voice till I found myself outside the pack, his voice continued to lead me until I got to my tent hidden in the woods. His sweet scent of strawberries and citrus filled the place which created a spark of excitement in me. I didn’t know why I was excited but it felt too good.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“How are you here? How did you do that?” I asked.

“You’re here. Come, we need to talk,” he said. My excitement died down immediately. “You’re here to talk, I thought-”

“You thought what,” he cuts in.

“Nothing, what did you want to talk about?” I said in disappointment. I couldn’t explain why I was sad, maybe I had gotten so used to him or it was this mate thing that made me feel this way.

“You thought what,” he said again, teetering forward while I stepped back until my back touched the wall which halted my movement instantly. He grabbed my hair from behind to expose my neck as he attaches his lips to my exposed skin just below my ear. I gasp as soon as his lips touch my neck and I can feel his smile against my skin.

Our bodies pressed together heatedly against the wall, breathing heavily as our lips pressed together. I could taste our shared breath, and feel the thud of our combined heartbeat as we fumbled to take off one another’s clothes.

“Lucy..” a voice called out from outside the tent. I peeped to see who it was that ruined the beautiful moment I was having.

“Shit!” I cursed under my breath. It was Cade, he had found my tent.
