The Alpha's Mysterious Mate ( The Fate Series Book 1)

Chapter 24: The Entanglement 

Serena's POV:

I couldn't believe something so embarrassing would happen to me! However, judging from his reaction, maybe I had chosen the right dress, after all.

But Anita was already waiting for me.I couldn't keep her waiting for too long.

When I saw Peter try to embrace me, I Knew I had to avoid it because it would just be even harder to part ways.

That was why I had to run back inside the closet to change.In Anita's place, I continued to ask her about sex.

"Anita, guess what?" I said.

"I think I'm going to have sex with Peter tonight.After everything you said, I feel much more confident now.Besides, I think Peter's already so frustrated with the delay of this.Apparently, it's very hard for men to hold back their sexual desires for too long, huh?"

"Serena, Peter's love for you is great.If you say that you're still not ready for that, then he surely won't force you.But if you say that you are ready, then he will definitely be happy to hear that."

"But, Anita...Should I be the one to make the first move? Or...I don't know.What should I do to tell him that I'm ready?"

"You just need to give the right signals.Ooh, wear that sexy underwear we bought for you today! When he sees you in that, he will absolutely understand."

"What if I'm being too excited or aggressive? Won't he think I'm a slut?"

"Ha! You're probably wrong, Serena.When it's time, you surely do not need to hide your own desires from your mate."

"Hmm, should I need to do something with my appearance?"

"Maybe we can just give you a nice hairstyle to make you look even sexier! Also, I think it's time I teach you how to put on some light make-up."

"Oh! That would be perfect!" I exclaimed.

I was excited to try wearing makeup for the first time.

After that, Anita took me to the beauty salon in the Maple House.

Anita sat me down and introduced me to the hairdresser, telling her what we wanted for my hair.

The hairdresser nodded and confidently started trimming my uneven hair.

Once I finished there, Anita also took me to get a facial care.When I looked in the mirror, I had never felt so beautiful in my life.My hair looked healthy and shiny.

My skin looked dewy and flawless! By the time we left the beauty salon, it was already the night time.We ate dinner together before saying goodbye.

Then, I headed back to my room.

At this time, the new clothes I had washed must have already dried.I took a quick shower and picked out the sexiest underwear we had purchased today.Everything looked perfect when I looked at myself in the mirror.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Serena!" Molly howled excitedly.

"When I finally transform, you'll meet Nate, too.And then, you both will have your turn." I sat at the bed, waiting.

Minutes had turned to hours and Peter still wasn't here.The clock had struck nine.

Peter agreed to come home early tonight, didn't he? I contemplated calling Peter on his phone, but I was afraid I'd only be disturbing his work.

But the more I waited, the more irritated I had become.

I opened a bottle of wine, pouring myself a glass and drinking from it.

This was my first time trying any sort of strong drink.

Oh! It was tough on the throat! But, after a few drinks, I started to enjoy the taste and began to feel a fun, woozy feeling inside of me.

Peter's POV:

When Serena left to see Anita, I went back to my office and dealt with some more business work.

We had a pharmacy company and recently just opened a new branch in Europe.

With it being new, I still had to closely supervise it. I finished my work quite early, so I started to think about what my father and the elders told me last night.

I had to investigate more on the kidnapping.

My father did tell me that we had books in the library that might provide me with new information.

I looked at my watch.It was still early, anyway.

At the basement of the Maple House was our library.

Only a few people came to this part of the house.

Anita used to be my secretary, and she was a very capable one at that.

But when she got together with David, she asked me for another job.

I understood.

She needed to spend more time with David.

That was why I transferred her here to be the librarian.

Along with the books and important files of the Red Maple Pack, the library was also the home of precious materials and books that I had collected from my trips around the world.

I wouldn't have trusted anybody else but Anita to take care of such.

I spent long, grueling hours in the library, scanning through our numerous books, yet found nothing.

Suddenly, I remembered Serena's hybrid identity.

Perhaps I could study up on that matter as well, since I was already here.

Atop the bookshelf was a book about the agreement of keeping the werewolf bloodline pure, along with the issue of hybrids.

I reached for it and opened it, reading from the beginning.

Many years ago, werewolves and vampires were allowed to establish a family together in the name of free love and regardless of differences.

It wasn't long after that their offsprings, the hybrids, were discovered to be a stronger kind, thereby threatening the order of the werewolf and vampire worlds.

A number of hybrids then went on to cause countless bloody cases, all because they contended for power.

Because of that, all Alphas of the werewolf packs came together and penned an agreement in Lossa, promising to maintain the werewolf bloodline from that day forward.

As stated in the agreement, every pack must bear the responsibility to maintain the purity of their bloodline.

Any werewolf and vampire that dared to be together, along with their children, must be killed.

The tradition now was that every year, each Alpha and his successor was tasked with the mission to kill hybrids.

Ever since this agreement had passed into law, most hybrids had lived a life of anonymousness and refrained from ever making contact with the world of werewolves, afraid that they would get hunted down.

Despite how difficult it had become to track down hybrids, this mission of the Alphas to kill hybrids still remained tradition.

Just when I had returned the book to the bookshelf and was about to leave the library, I smelled a fragrance that was familiar.

Following the direction it was coming from, I saw Kate from a distance.

She was wearing a plum colored camisole dress that was made from a shiny, thin satin fabric.

The sight of her made me hard.

What was going on? I then realized that I had to leave here as soon as possible. "Hello, Peter.Working so hard late at night, I see."

"Kate, you're not supposed to be here," I growled a little.

She was not allowed to enter the library without permission.However, Kate and I did have a history.

I had slept with her and took her on several dates.I didn’t want to be so rude to her, but she needed to get out of my sight immediately.

"Peter, don't you know how much I love you? I gave you my body, my virginity.I'm yours, forever."

"Kate, you don't understand.I was drunk that night.I had no control over myself.I apologize."

"Oh? Then what about the other times? You asked me out for dinner and movie dates.What about those? What did those mean?"

"I was just looking for my Luna. I had to make sure whether you were my Luna or not.

That was why I took you out.I needed to know if I would feel something, if we were meant for each other."

"Well, of course, we're meant to be together! I had been waiting for you to come back, Peter."

"No, Kate.I'm sorry.It was all a mistake.I found my mate already."

"A mistake? Humph.After I gave you my virginity, then you tell me it was a mistake?" She slowly walked towards me.

"That little bitch knows nothing about lovemaking on the other hand, know exactly how to please you in bed."

Kate lifted her dress up bit by bit, revealing more skin.The crazy bitch had no underwear on.

It made my dick hard as rock, but I fought to keep my head leveled and had to stay rational.

No, I didn't love this she-wolf.Serena was the only one I loved.

"Kate, stop! Serena is my mate now and my Luna.Show some respect!"

I raised my voice a little to show authority. "No, she's not.She's not your Luna, I am! I know you so much better than she does, Peter."

She knelt before me, lowered her head, and licked my bulge through my pants.

It felt kind of comfortable...

Wait, no! I had to fight myself from indulging those thoughts.I stepped back and kept a distance from her.

"Peter, I'm willing to sacrifice everything to love you.I have already given you my virginity.I am your woman now! Like I said, Serena doesn't know the first thing about sex, anyway.You haven't even left a mark on her yet.Ha! " Kate yelled, her face twisting into a hysterical expression.

"Kate, shut it! This is too much.Do you still even love and respect yourself? That's what you should work on.Stop bothering me anymore.As the future Alpha of this pack, I order you to leave right this instance!"

Kate looked at me and stubbornly stayed kneeling on the floor.

Then, I saw her start to cry.

If she wasn't going to leave, I had to.I couldn't stay around her any longer, so I turned and left.

Kate's POV:

After Peter left, I wiped my tears and got to my feet.

Even if no one was around to see it, this was still the most humiliating thing I had ever experienced.I bribed the guards of Maple House, which was how I got to know Peter had come to the library tonight.I was not allowed to get in the library.

But this was my only chance to get close to Peter again.I was running out of time.I needed to be with him in private now.

It didn't matter anymore if I was going to be punished for entering.I just needed to get inside.

Since Peter and Serena still hadn't left a mark on each other, I thought that I would still have chance to win him back.

I wore the special perfume I had bought some time ago.

As long as Peter could smell it, I thought that he would be automatically aroused and that he would want to have sex with me. However, Peter exercised so much restraint, despite all my efforts.

I was so hurt by his rejection.

But I knew that I was better than Serena.She was not deserving of Peter at all.

Only I knew how to meet all of his needs.

"You're being delusional.Serena is Peter's mate.Of course, she'll make him happy no matter what.It's not just about sex, Kate.You should just give up and find your own mate."I felt Lydia roll her eyes at me.

"Shut up, Lydia.You don't know anything.I need Peter, and I know that he needs me, too.I can help him make the Red Maple Pack even stronger!"

Growling, I scolded my wolf.Several plans had already formed in my head.

I was going to let that bitch make a complete fool out of herself during the Mate Ceremony.

That way, she would ruin her reputation forever.

It seemed like a fool-proof plan, and I started to feel better again.

But when I was about to leave, something suddenly piqued my curiosity.

What was Peter reading here that kept him so late? I walked over to where he was reading and scanned the nearby bookshelves. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

I noticed a book that looked like it had just been returned.So I took it and read it myself.

It was about...the agreement of keeping the werewolf bloodline pure.I continued to read on, but I had no idea why Peter was reading this book.I closed the book and put it back on the shelf. It was getting late.I had to go back first.

If anyone else found me here, I would be in trouble.
