The Alphas prize

Chapter 20: Secrets

Cain's eyes burned into mine as a devious smile placated his plump lips. I didn’t know what was in

store for me, but I was excited to find out. Then, finally, he reared back and stood to his feet, then

casually strolled into the closet. I continued to lay there, waiting for him to come back, but it had now

been a few moments, and I started to wonder, what in the hell he was doing?

I stood up from the bed and crept towards the closet, trying to peek in as I got closer. Just as I was

about to cross the threshold, Cain emerged from the closet. He grabbed me by the wrist and spun me

around, slamming me face-first into the wall. Cain held my hands together behind my back before

wrapping my hair around his other hand and tugging it back slightly.

His soft, plump lips brushed against my ear. “Did I say you could move?” He asked in a husky tone.

I bit my lower lip. “No, but I was becoming bored waiting for y….”

Cain cut me off by pulling my hair tighter and causing my head to jolt backwards. He then brushed his

lips down my neck and nipped at my overly sensitive flesh, sending shivers throughout my body.

“You disobeyed me once again. I don’t like being disobeyed, and now you are going to be punished for

that, Freja.” He whispered oh so sweetly.

My chest heaved, and my bottom lip quivered as the pool of wetness between my legs had now soaked

through my panties.

Taking in a deep breath, I asked in a daring tone, “What’s my punishment?”

A rumble vibrated from his chest. “You’ll have to be a good girl and wait and see.” He whispered.

Cain released my hair, and I could feel him now binding my wrists together. After he bounded my

hands, he tied a piece of silky material over my eyes, restricting my sight. The anticipation was now

overwhelming as I waited for him to make his next move.

He turned me around so I was no longer facing the wall; his hands started to explore my body, touching

every inch of me. Suddenly, Cain gripped my shorts and tore them from my body, causing me to gasp.

His hands ran down the length of my body, going lower and lower. Cain’s hands were now firmly

caressing my thighs as he nipped and kissed at my neck, making me moan and thrive within his hold.

Cain's grip tightened, holding me in place. “Don’t move and be quiet.” He said sternly.

I stilled myself, attempting to remain motionless and silent, but that was something that I wasn’t sure I

would be able to do, especially with his touch. Cain continued to torture me; his hands slid up my thighs

and to my ass, gripping it hard and possessively. His one hand then gripped the seam of my underwear

and tore them from my body, making me shudder.

Cain tugged my lower half closer to him, then bit and licked at my sensitive flesh. His hand came

around and reached between my thighs, Cain’s fingers then glided against my wet folds, and another

shuddering breath escaped from my lips.

He continued gliding his fingers across my aching pussy, then slipped a finger inside of me, thrusting it

in and out. I let out a lust-filled moan and writhed from his touch, but as I did, he removed his finger and

stood up.

Cain gripped my hair firmly again. “I thought I told you not to move and to be quiet? You just don’t know

when or how to behave, do you?” He asked in a teasing tone.

I shook my head. “No, I don’t. I guess you will just have to punish me some more.” I said seductively,

then bit my lower lip.

Cain let out a low growl before releasing my hair and gripping my shirt, and tearing it from my body,

leaving me completely exposed now.

He turned me around and pushed me against the wall, his erection pressing into my ass. His arm

snaked around me, reaching up to clasp around my neck. Cain then tilted my head back and bit my

neck before whispering. “Oh, I promise you, I will.” He said in a husky tone.

Cain pulled me away from the wall and threw me onto the bed. I could hear his large feet approaching

the bed; then, he smacked me on the ass with something cold and hard.

I gasped loudly. “What the hell was that?” Whatever it was that Cain had smacked me with, it wasn’t his

hand, and I was unsure of how I felt about it.

He smacked me again, a little harder this time. “Shut up!” His voice was growly now as he flipped me

over and pulled me up into a sitting position. “Be a good girl for once and follow my orders.” I just

smiled at him in response and mentally gave him the finger.

I heard his zipper undo, and the anticipation was consuming me now, waiting for his next move. I

listened to the sound of him shuffling before Cain gripped my hair. “Open your mouth.” He demanded in

a feral tone.

I tilted my head. “What?” I had never done anything like this before, and although it was turning me on,

I was a bit nervous.

“Open your fucking mouth.” He growled out, his wolf now on the surface, as the lust and desire

consumed him. My wolf damn near purred at his wolf's presence.

I opened my mouth, hesitantly and he eased his hard cock in, grazing my lips with his soft skin. I tried

to rear back, but he only gripped my hair tighter and kept me in place. “Don’t move, or I’ll shove it all

the way in and choke you.” It took me by surprise at the man-beast before me now. I hadn’t seen this

dominant side to him before; it was a turn-on but also a bit intense.

I remained still and allowed him to continue easing himself into my mouth. I closed my lips around him

and started to suck him harder, flicking my tongue over his tip. He released a satisfactory moan as he

pushed himself farther in. I continued to suck his hard cock, lightly grazing my teeth along his length,

feeling satisfactory when his body shivered. His moans and groans now filled the room as I took him

deeper into my mouth. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, he pulled out and pushed me onto the mattress. Cain then flipped me onto my stomach and

pulled me down slightly, so my legs hung over the edge of the bed. He gently caressed my ass before

giving it a hard smack. I gasped in pleasure, wanting, no craving more.

His large hands kneaded my ass before smacking it again. Cain then spread my legs as far apart as

possible, using his knees. I writhed on top of the cool fabric, needing him inside of me. He slightly lifted

my ass in the air before plunging into me.

Cain fucked me hard and deep, pounding into me at a dizzying speed. Finally, he pulled himself all the

way out and smacked my ass once again before plunging back into me. He gripped my hair tightly,

pulling my head back and entering me even deeper now.

I moaned and screamed his name loudly. “Fuck, Cain.” I bellowed out.

He flipped me over onto my back suddenly, then lifted my legs, putting them over his shoulder and

leaned forward, placing his hands on either side of my head. Again, Cain entered me slowly, this time

as his mouth devoured mine. My mind was racing with sexual ecstasy, it was foggy, and my head was

starting to spin from the orgasm that was building with each thrust, pushing me closer to the edge.

My legs shook as he deepened himself. Cain then reared back slightly and placed his hands on my

thighs, entering me deeper than I ever thought possible.

Cain’s thrusts were almost violent now, as he consumed my entire being and my climax hit me like a

tidal wave. Then, just when I thought I was going to pass out, with one final thrust, Cain released

himself inside of me.

We collapsed into each other, savouring the moment of pure bliss. After a few moments, Cain braced

himself with his forearms, removed the blindfold and stared into my eyes with an infuriated expression.

“Don’t ever go out alone again. Do you understand me?” His tone was laced with authority.

I sighed heavily. “Cain, I was fine; nothing happened to me.” I propped myself onto my elbows. “You

don’t have to treat me like a china doll that will break or be destroyed at any given moment. If we are

going to be mates and if I am to be Luna, then you need to see me and treat me as an equal.” I stood

my ground.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at me for a beat. “I see you as my equal, but it is hard for me to treat

you like one. My wolf drives me to protect you; it doesn’t matter to him what you say or how strong you

are; his first and only priority is your safety.” He looked away from me and groaned. “There is a lot you

don’t know about my wolf or me; maybe in time, you will.” He almost seemed as if he was ashamed,

ashamed of the monstrous side of him.

I pursed my lips, knowing and understanding some of what he was saying, as I knew just how strong

our wolves could overpower us. “I understand.” I said softly, “I just want to be able to roam around the

grounds and such without an escort or being scolded for going out for a run. I know the woods are

dangerous, but I didn’t go far.” I tried to reason with him.

Cain closed his eyes and inhaled, “I will try, but I can’t promise anything.” Then, he opened his eyes

and stared into mine. “The minute I hear of anything that makes me uneasy, you will not go anywhere

alone!” He had a brow raised, and Cain stared down at me with a “Don’t push me.” look etched into his

features, causing me to chuckle internally.

I rolled my eyes. “Fine.” I thought it was cute, how dominant and protective he was, but also a bit much.

Cain lifted himself and laid on the bed next to me. I rolled onto my side, and Cain’s green orbs stared

into mine, almost lovingly. He brushed a strand of hair away from my face before kissing my forehead. I

closed my eyes and relished this moment. A rare and memorable moment with the man I once feared

and who is now my mate.

I awoke some hours later and looked at the clock on the wall, which read 1:47 am. A nightmare had

woken me; it was of Cain dying, the whole pack fighting in a battle and the rest, I couldn’t remember; it

was fuzzy.

I sat up and peeked over my shoulder at the sleeping beast beside me, snoring loud enough to wake

the dead. I got out of bed and walked over to the balcony doors, pushing back the curtain. I glanced out

at the vast beauty of the land before me; the moon illuminated everything, the water in the pond

sparkled, making it look even more magnificent. I stared at the old willow tree, watching as it glowed in

the light, almost giving it a golden aura.

I hadn’t realized its beauty had me so entranced until Cain placed a hand on my side, causing me to

jump. “Holy hell, are you trying to give me a heart attack?” I asked him, a bit too loudly.

He let out a hearty chuckle. “Nope, just like watching you jump out of your skin.” He smirked, and I

shook my head at him.

Cain’s expression turned serious as he gazed out the window from over my shoulder. “What had you

so deep in thought?” He questioned.

“Just the moon was shining down on everything, and the willow tree.” I shrugged.

“Oh. I see. Well, come back to bed now.” He placed a kiss on the top of my head.

I nodded my head. “Yea, I just need to get a drink first and use the washroom.”

He groaned. “Ok, hurry up.” He said, then returned to the bed, climbing under the sheets.

I went into the washroom, did my business, then walked back out of the bathroom. I left the bedroom

and walked down the hall towards the staircase, but stopped before descending as I heard an angry

voice coming from Calyx's room. I crept over, doing my best to be sneaky and quiet. As I neared his

bedroom, I could hear him more clearly now.

“I’ve already told you the fucking plan, and we are sticking to the plan, end of story.” He whispered

yelled.

He was silent for a moment. “If you go against the plan, I will find you and rip your fucking throat out

and your pathetic brothers.” Calyx growled out.

Calyx was silent again, then snarled before I heard a loud crash. I immediately started walking back

towards the stairs, not wanting him to come to the door and find me there. I nearly flew down the stairs

and into the kitchen; who was Calyx talking to on the phone? Was it Eve? Did she have a brother?

Numerous questions scrambled around in my brain as I ran through everything in my head. The whys

and the how’s, but I realized I didn’t know much about either, especially, Calyx. I needed to find out

more about him to try and piece things together.

I wanted to tell Cain earlier about everything, but I didn’t want to say anything to him when we were in

the woods, and then we became a bit occupied. Perhaps, that was for the best; maybe I should find out

more before telling him, figure out who all Calyx is working with and what his plan is, because if I tell

Cain now, he may overreact and spoil everything.

As I continued to run things through my head, I reached into the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.

Then, I turned around after closing the fridge door, only to come face to face with Calyx.

I gasped and jumped a little. “Fuck Calyx; you scared me.”

He grinned, and his upper lip very slightly twitched. “Sorry, didn’t mean to.” He said, a bit unconvincing.

“Anyways, I’m going back to bed now.” I tried to move past him, but he blocked my path.

Calyx cocked his head to the side. “Why the hurry? Stay and have a chat with me.” He smiled

“No, I can’t; Cain is waiting for me,” I told him, somewhat telling the truth. I also didn’t want to be alone

with him after what I had discovered.

He pouted, “Please?”

I shook my head at him. “No, maybe another night?” I smiled and tried to get him to agree.

Calyx just stood there staring at me for a minute; his eyes started to turn black before a husky voice

came from behind him.

“What are you doing, brother?” Cain questioned.

I peered around to Cain and gave him a pleading look. Cain's eyes narrowed to the back of Calyx's

head, while Calyx just continued to stare at me for a moment too long before whipping around to face

Cain. “Nothing, brother, just wanted to catch up with the new Luna.” He said genuinely.

Cain observed him, like he was trying to see into his soul, then glanced to me. “Come on, Freja, let’s

go.” Then Cain extended his hand out for me. I squeezed past Calyx, taking Cain’s hand, and we

exited the kitchen. Once we returned to the bedroom, Cain’s attention was all on me. “What

happened?” He demanded to know.

I inhaled a deep breath, wondering if I wanted to tell him how the encounter had made me feel uneasy.

“He came in the kitchen and asked me to have a chat with him.”

His brows scrunched together, and he narrowed his eyes. “And that’s it?”

“Yes.” That really was all that happened; I wasn’t lying to him. However, I just left out the part where

Calyx sent a cold shiver down my spine, leaving me to wonder just how sinister that man was.

He nodded, then got into the bed, and I followed suit. But I couldn’t sleep; all I could think about was

the conversation I overheard and the intense conversation I had with Calyx. His demeanour has

completely changed now, the way he glares at me and his body language; everything is different now.

My wolf hovered on the surface when he approached, snarling and ready to fight; I couldn’t stop

thinking about that factor, that she was standoffish to him suddenly. I tried to clear my thoughts,

thinking of something else to distract myself. So, I decided to focus on the mental image of the willow

tree, the ruff bark, the leaves blowing in the wind, and not long after, I finally fell asleep.

I woke to an empty bed; I sat up, looked around the room and noticed that I was alone. I got out of the

bed and walked to the closet, only to see that it was empty. I walked over to the bathroom, which was

empty as well. My brows furrowed, wondering where Cain had gone too. I went back into the closet,

threw on a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt and left the bedroom.

I hurriedly walked through the halls and down the stairs, heading straight for the kitchen, but the only

one in the room was Violet.

She smiled brightly. “Good morning Luna, what can I get you for breakfast?” She asked cheerfully.

I walked closer to her. “Do you know where Cain is, Violet?” I asked, needing to ask him questions

about Calyx.

She shook her head. “No, sorry, Luna. I do not know where the Alpha is.”

I gave her a curt nod. “Ok, thank you.” I turned around to leave the kitchen, but Violet stopped me. “Do

you not want breakfast, Luna?” She asked me, a bit concerned.

I pursed my lips. “No, thank you. I am not hungry right now.” I said quickly, then left the kitchen to find

Cain.

The fact that I didn’t know where he was, put me on edge, especially with Calyx lurking around and his

plan to get rid of Cain and me.

I ran back up the stairs and towards Cain’s office, wondering why I didn’t check there first. I reached

the door in a few strides and could hear voices coming from inside, but it was unclear what they were

saying. I knocked on the door, and the voices ceased; a large and burly man, with slick-backed hair,

answered the door a moment later. The man glared down at me for a beat, then his features softened,

and his attitude changed. Finally, the man bowed his head. “Luna, please come in.” He said as he fully

opened the door for me to enter.
