Mated To Alpha Gregory

Adam’s POV

“How could you let something like this happen?” I screamed at Raider.

“It wasn’t my fault, how was I supposed to know it would result in something so dangerous?” Raider retorted.

“You are the alpha of this pack, everyone here is under your leadership, everyone here is under your command, and everyone here is under your protection. What the hell is wrong with you?” I screamed at him.

He wanted to speak again but caught sight of Ronan holding his sword dangerously.

“I’m sorry, okay, I will make sure the man gets the treatment he deserves.” He left the room, leaving me with Ronan.

Sitting on the giant sized bed, I couldn’t get my head off what just happened earlier. Raider was already the alpha of the pack and there was little or nothing I could do about it.

The last time a person was sworn in as the alpha of the pack, I was not born yet. If that was the way things were done here, then stopping it might prove a little too difficult.

“Where is Lilith?” I asked Ronan.

“I have not seen her since the ceremony, she’s probably somewhere. Don’t worry, she’ll be back. I will make sure of it,” Ronan assured.

He left the room, leaving me alone to my thoughts. The exhaustion of the day’s activity dawned on me and I laid on my back to rest.

Lilith suddenly walked in, her face all gloomy like she had been in an argument with somebody.

“What’s the problem, my love, you don’t look so happy, is something wrong?” I asked, sitting up on the bed.

She didn’t reply. Rather, she pulled off her clothes and got into something more comfortable from the suitcase beside the bed.

“Lilith, talk to me.”

I stood up and walked up to her, and hugged her from behind. She stopped what she was doing for a while, and closed her eyes.

“I am good, my love, there’s no need for you to be worried, I just need to rest.”

Her attitude betrayed her speech, even the tone of what she said was in protest at how she reacted.

“But you don’t look fine. Talk to me.”

She turned around and faced me, staring directly into my eyes. “I am fine Adam, and I need you to believe me, I’m just tired.”

Since she wouldn’t talk, I left her be, and sat back on the bed. She changed out of the clothes she had on and wore a semi-transparent night gown which revealed her curves.

She walked back to bed and pecked me on my forehead before lying down to sleep.

Her actions were like stimulants, fueling the fire which was burning inside me. One minute she was gloomy, the next she was making wild thoughts live rent-free in my mind.

I could have gone on and on throughout the night to make her speak, but I decided to let her be. “We go again tomorrow.”

I comforted myself with the fact that the long journey was truly exhausting, and she needed her rest.

“Good night my love.” She didn’t reply.

I thought she ignored me on purpose till I had a loud snore and I knew she had slept off.

The early morning rays that filtered through the blinds, pierced my eyes, making me open them, but my vision was blurry at first.

I soon became aware of my surroundings but remained on the spot.

I stretched my hand to feel the side of the bed where she was the previous night. Alas, she wasn’t there. I turned, to confirm what my hands felt, it turned out to be true. “Where could she have gone this early in the morning?” I asked myself.

I sat up at once and looked at the room, but there was no trace of her. “Was she safe?

Knowing we were in Green Forest pack, her former home, all kinds of dangerous things that could have happened to her as a result of her strained relationship with Raider and Cassandra lingered in my head.

I got out of bed in haste like a man being chased by death. I ran to the door and would have opened it, but stopped when another door opened behind me and Lilith came out.

It turned out she was in the toilet all this while and I had been worked up for nothing.

“What’s wrong with you?” She asked. “You seem like you saw a ghost.”

I was stunned, and couldn’t speak. Instead, I stared at her for almost a minute, before I realized what I was doing. Then, I moved closer and drew her in for a very tight embrace.

“I was worried for a minute, but I am fine now. Did you sleep well?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

She detached herself from me, looking flustered. “Why were you worried? Did something bad happen?

“Uh… no, everything is fine. I was just concerned about you, considering the way you came in last night. Where were you though?”

She had a weird smile on her face, before turning back to sit on the bed.

“I went for a stroll. It had been a while since I was here, and although I hate how things turned out between me and the pack members, it still felt like home. You shouldn’t have gotten yourself all worked up. Does it look like something bad could happen to me? I am a fighter myself, you know, and I can always defend myself.”

I walked closer to the bed and sat beside her, realizing I might have overthought things the night before.

“It’s fine, my love, I’m just glad you are okay.”

She rubbed my hands and leaned in closer to kiss me when the door opened and Ronan came in.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you guys were in the middle of… never mind, I’ll come back later.”

He turned to go out when I called him back, laughing. “Come in Ronan, the damage has been done. What do you want?”

Lilith looked flustered. She stood up immediately and picked up a gown which was lying on a table not too far from us.

“I will go and change for the return journey home. You should get dressed too, Adams.”

She walked into the bathroom with the gown, leaving Ronan and I to speak.

Immediately she walked into the bedroom, I moved closer to Ronan and whispered in his ears. “Did you do what I asked you to do?”

“Yes, my King. I had been up as early as 5:00 a. m., searching through the fields and through the land and everywhere. I have been to the Royal graveyard and to every nook and cranny of this mansion, but I didn’t find Alpha Rivers graveyard,” he whispered back.

“Thank you.” I parted him on the back and began to walk back to my bed when he spoke again.

“I did background research also on the guy that won the fight yesterday,” he said.

“Really? What did you find out about him?” I asked.

Ronan sighed and cleared his throat. “No one knows him, Adams, no one has ever seen his face.”
