Broken Alpha, Paulina Vasquez [online e reader TXT] 📗

You've had a long and stressful day with the arrival of your family, the rescue and loss of your friend. Then the reaction from your father who threatened to take you away from me.”

“I’m not leaving.” I said.

“I won’t let you leave either. But you should also know that there's a full moon tonight which pulls mates together. You’re scent is getting stronger and Dom is about to lose it. I’m starting to suspect that since you've met your mate, you might be starting your heat.” He said.

“Heat? As in ... HEAT HEAT?” I said with panic in my voice. Female wolves went into heat about once a year and the pull to mate would be so strong, it could actually become very painful if you resisted.  Also, the scent of a female in heat would attract unmated males if her mate did not mate with her. This crazy animalistic pull ensured the survival of our species. I had just met Dimitri this week, how could this be happening so soon? Why didn't Rae warn me?

“Are there unmated males on the island I need to worry about?” I asked.

Dimitri grinned at me for a moment before he spoke. “The only unmated male that you need to worry about is the Alpha in front of you.”

 

 

Chapter 29 – Sunset

Dimitri's POV

As a dominant Alpha male, I've never second guessed myself. It seems these days, around Raven, I was second guessing my every move.

I should have been able to claim what was mine without hesitation. The animal inside was genetically wired to understand raw sexual needs and dominance. While the human side of me wanted to make sure everything was right for Raven, who is the other half of my soul. If you had told me a few weeks ago I would feel this way about my mate, I wouldn't have believed it. I had no intention of ever claiming a mate. Yet here I was, my body and soul completely owned by that little raven haired girl I was planning to turn into a woman.

Dom could feel her heat starting and was begging to be let out. After her father threatened to take her back home, Dom made several attempts to take control and mark his mate. I knew this was something I couldn't force, I needed to be sure Raven was fully ready.

“Looks like we're going to get some help from the Moon Goddess.” Dom Snickered at me.

Raven had asked for some alone time to take a cold shower and get some rest. Dom wanted to stay by her side and comfort her. Reluctantly, I agreed and left her alone in the suite. I know she's got so much to think about with everything going on, but I wish she would have talked about it with me.

“The sooner we mark her, the sooner we can read her thoughts.” Dom reminded me.

There's a soft sandy beach on the western side of the island which makes the perfect spot for watching sunsets. I will take her there tonight and have Elaina set up a picnic dinner for us. We need to spend some alone time with her and keep her away from the unmated males on the island. I mind linked Dumas and asked him to make sure the western beach was off limits to everyone this evening. Then I decided to set up the picnic spot while she was napping.

A few hours later Raven emerged from the suite wearing a short sundress. Her sweet scent was strong and filled my nostrils. I was sitting on the sofa in the living room and motioned for her to come to me. She walked over and sat, not on the sofa next to me, but on my lap. This made Dom howl with joy.

“Did you have a good nap?” I asked.

“It was a little restless.” She said and buried her head in my neck.

“I told you she needed our comfort.” Dom scoffed in my head.

“I think maybe Rae could use a run.” She told me. I ran my hand over her legs and could feel how hot her skin was, she was definitely starting to go into heat.

“Dom will you be able to control yourself for a short while longer?” I asked him.

“I can try, but no promises.” He huffed at me.

“We can take Rae for a run; would she prefer I run next to her in wolf form or follow in human form?” I asked.

“She's looking forward to running with Dom.”

“Okay, let's get going.” I said and Dom was yipping with joy.

We walked outside, passed the pool and into the trees. I stripped off my clothes and shifted. A small gasp escaped her as she took in the sight of Dom for the second time. I realized the first time she saw him was when he chased her down and she may have not been as focused on all the details.

She looked a little taken back and unsure. Dom was Alpha black, but much bigger than an Alpha. He could sense her fear and dropped his head down with a low whine. Raven stepped forward with her hand outstretched moving very slowly. I could sense her fear and hear her heart racing. I wish I had been able to mind link her and talk to her.

Most Alpha's are the size of a donkey, Dom is the size of a horse. Dom laid down on all fours to try and make himself look less intimidating; he really wanted our mate’s approval. When Raven reached us, she stroked Dom's head and he closed his eyes. He was enjoying her attention and touch. She continued to rub and stroke
