Falling in love with my Ex's Alpha Chapter 208: Book 2 - Chapter 41

I can’t bring myself to care.

Even though I’m surprised by this new, violent side of Nox.

My Prince is always serene and utterly different from me. However, he seems to lose his calm when it comes to me.

I run to separate the two of them, but Nox fixes me in my place with just a glance from the corner of his eye.

I feel my body get hot. Fuck! This is not a good time to be turned on.

Letum appears and stays by my side, but I feel him also holding back from separating the two.

“HA,” Nox snorts humorlessly, looking at Letum, and Letum gives him a small smirk.

Are they speaking via mindlink?

Rose screams behind me when she enters the kitchen, and like everyone else present, I ignore her.

“Don’t you want to repeat it?” Nox asks in a smug tone, and Nige doesn’t say anything; he just shakes his head vehemently, denying it. Coward. “That’s what I thought.” Nox says as he lets go of him, giving him a slight push that makes him stagger backward.

The hate that Nige exudes is so strong that I can feel it in my mouth.

This puts me on alert; if he touches my mate, I will kill him. Whether he is my friend or not. My ex-lover or not.

Rose goes to Nige, but he angrily pushes her and leaves the house, then she follows him.

Nox changes his entire demeanor when he looks at me, softening his eyes, and for some reason, I feel a pang of guilt through our mate bond.

‘I’m sorry,’ Prince says via mindlink.

He comes to me and holds my hand at the same time as Letum leaves the kitchen.

‘I shouldn’t have acted like an enraged animal...’ With his free hand, he pinches the bridge of his nose.

I hug him around the waist. Lately, it seems that I only feel calm when I’m holding him.

He kisses the top of my head. He’s so sweet. ‘I would never reject you, Nox. You are my fated mate. I would rather die before leaving your side,’ I confess, feeling extremely vulnerable to reveal this to him.

I feel him tense for a second before he hugs me tighter.

He doesn’t answer anything back.

***The Traveler***

Two days have passed since everyone arrived, and it seems that our life with Nigel and his mate here has only gotten worse.

Alexa has delegated some tasks to Rose, but she either doesn’t do it, or when she does, someone has to redo everything again.

She doesn’t seem like she came to help but rather to give us more work. For some reason, Alexa doesn’t let Rose near me. Maybe it’s because I almost attacked Nigel, and she’s afraid I’ll do the same to Rose.

Goddess, I should have acted cautiously. I shouldn’t have freaked out. It’s not that Alexa gets scared easily, but the last thing I want is to scare my beautiful mate.

I’m sitting with my back against the trunk of the wishing sacred tree, looking at her and Dana talking near the other two sacred trees.

These trees have grown a lot in recent months, especially with Alexa’s care. She told me that she has been using her gift to make them grow. I didn’t know this was possible, but the trees seem more colorful and resistant whenever she uses it.

Every day when it’s close to sunset, it’s been a ritual to come here and admire the trees and my mate before going to our little waterfall.

Letum is still finishing the tasks that Alexa gave him to do in the packhouse, while the worm Nigel looks for any reason to avoid doing anything.

I don’t know which help is more useless, his or his mate’s.

I noticed that my Princess doesn’t like Nigel’s acts but avoids fighting with him, which is very unusual for her.

Nigel seems like he’s not in as much of a rush to get all the pack members here as Alexa is.

“Letum said he can start creating the arch to place at the entrance of the pack tomorrow,” Dana says, coming towards me with Alexa. Dana sits next to me, not at all bothering to sit on the ground.

“I’m sure it will be perfect,” I say with a smile, already visualizing the arch as it looks in the future. I didn’t know that Letum had made it. The arch is perfect, and everyone who visits here is fascinated by it.

“Letum is very talented,” Alexa says thoughtfully, looking at the three sacred trees, but at the same time, her eyes seem vacant, as if she isn’t focusing on anything specific.

The sun is almost setting. It is increasingly setting later due to summer. A few beams of light gently illuminate my mate’s face, and I can’t take my attention away from her.

She is so beautiful! Today, her blonde hair is bound in a single long braid, and the soft wind blows the tip of her braid back and forth.

“For him to do it, you first need to decide if we’re going to use the old name or a new name for our pack. We can’t keep calling it ‘our new territory’ forever,” Dana says, lying down on the ground and resting his head in the palms of her hands.

“I don’t know,” Alexa says, still thoughtful. “I don’t think we should use the same name as our old pack. We changed... I think we need a new name.”

“I agree with you,” Dana says, closing her eyes and seeming to enjoy the wind on her skin. She’s been working so much today that I don’t even know how she’s not sleeping.

After Alexa, I think Dana is the person in the most hurry to finish everything here so she can bring her fated mate straight away — which will be a damn problem because I know Kyrie. I need to think about what I’ll do when everyone gets here.

“I think I know a good name to call our new pack,” Alexa says, suddenly with a smile on her face, looking at me.

Dana sits up abruptly, interested. “Which?”

I bite my bottom lip to keep from revealing the future name that I’m almost certain she’ll suggest.

“How about the Three Trees Pack?” my mate says confidently. However, through our mate bond, I feel a bit of uncertainty, as if she isn’t afraid of rejection.

Dana looks around at the three trees and then at Alexa. “Three Trees pack? Really, Lexi?” Dana says sarcastically. My mate frowns, and I hold back my laughter because I love my balls. “Wow, how creative, huh?!” Dana goes on teasing her but with a huge smile on her face.

Alexa rolls her eyes, smiling. “I know you loved it,” she says, approaching Dana and giving her a little kick on the shin before bending down and sitting on my lap. “What do you think of the name?” she asks me.

“I’m kidding, Lexi! I like it!” Dana says, turning to where we are. “It’s catchy! I’m sure everyone will like it. Three Tree pack! I liked it.”

“It feels right! I mean... My parents won’t mind it. Whatever I choose, I’m sure they will approve,” Alexa says with confidence. I’m sure they will because she is an excellent Alpha female who always puts the needs of her pack members before her own.

“Three Trees Pack, huh?” I arch one brow, wrapping my arms around her. She looks at me apprehensively. “I like the name,” I say, and she smiles beautifully. I kiss her forehead, “I’m sure all the members of our pack will like the new name, as well as the future members who will be born here,” I say and internally slap myself for saying that when I see her frown at my word choice.

“Stop being so lovey dovey,” Dana says with a pout. “I hate you both!” To tease her, Alexa kisses, and I hear Dana say at the same time that I feel Letum approach where we are, “Wait, hmmm... Maybe I want to see where this goes!”

Alexa laughs at her and rests her face on my shoulder, looking at Dana.

“I can’t wait to get back to the central cave,” Dana says. Letum sits beside her silently.

Since they got back, they’ve been acting differently. They seem closer. Dana continues to tease him all the time, and Letum continues to say as little as before, but they are somehow more united and happy.

They both seem more at peace. Letum has been sleeping close to Dana at night, and she has barely screamed in nightmares, but I know it will only get worse the more time she spends away from her fated mate.

“Soon,” Alexa promises her.

***The Healer***

Nox gently signals me to rinse my hair, and I lower myself in the water. He bathed me right after I bathed him.

Our ritual of coming here after an exhausting day of hard work continues even two weeks later with the arrival of Nige, Rose, Letum, and Dana.

If I had known it was going to be this hell, I would have asked Letum and Dana to come alone.

Letum told me that Beta had said that Nige had hardly stayed in the central cave. He was always looking for food for the pack members but rarely came back with anything — which is weird because, first, Nige is a great hunter, and second, due to the current season, there are many more animals available.

However, all of this took a backseat to the things I’m having to put up with with him and his fucking mate.

Fuck. My. Life.

I can’t stand these two anymore. I’m about to tell them to go to hell.

I enjoy Nox diving inside the small waterfall.

Since Nige arrived, he has been stopping us from having sex. Not intentional — I hope.

It seems like every time my mate and I are about to fuck, he shows up to say something and gets in the way.

At first, I thought it was because he was curious about Nox suddenly being a werewolf, but no, even though he became furious about it — which just shows how crazy he is — he doesn’t want to mention the fact that Nox has a wolf.

Especially after he saw Khai’s size. Maybe he’s scared of him. Khai’s size is quite intimidating.

I want to believe that Nige has appeared by coincidence because it doesn’t make sense for him to want to disturb something when he himself is with his fated mate the whole time. And I bet they are fucking when they are alone.

Before, when Nox and I came to the small, hidden waterfall, we only came alone, but Nige started coming at the same time, along with Rose.

We started coming at a different time, but he continued to show up anyway.

I feel a little awkward showing my affection to Nox when Nige is around because we had a relationship for years before he recognized Rose as his fated mate.

Nox submerges directly in front of me, hugging me. I put my arms around his neck and kiss him.

I feel Nige and Rose approaching the other side of the waterfall, and I almost growl in anger.

The water is almost up to my shoulders, covering me almost completely.

Despite the presence of the intruders, Nox continues kissing me hard. I feel his cock hard against me, fuck! It’s been days since I felt his cock *inside* me.

“You’re so gorgeous.” One of those dimples appears in his cheek as he stares down at me, his eyes dancing in heat.

I sigh. I want him closer.

I glance around the waterfall. Rose is already in the water, and Nigel is taking off his clothes.

Both of them are watching us.

I try to ignore the feeling of eyes on me.

Nox pulls away from me, and I immediately miss his warmth. It’s funny, a few weeks ago, he was the one missing my warmth, and now I’m eager for his warmth as much as I was for his cold skin before.

I try to pull Nox closer to me again, but he looks at me with a not so kind look, which makes me stop touching him.

“I’m not in control right now, Princess. If you are not comfortable with having an audience, I suggest you release me.” Nox says with a firm tone.

I swallow and then lick my dry lips.

My eyes immediately meet Nige’s cold eyes. Even though he looks at me angrily, I can also see hurt in his eyes.

Fuck. What am I doing?

Nige frowns as if daring me to continue with Nox’s clear suggestion.

Although we werewolves have no problem seeing other people fucking, due to my past with Nige, I don’t know if I could stand his eyes watching me while Nox fucks me, much less Rose’s angry look. I know she hates me. I wouldn’t care less for that bitch.

Even though Nox isn’t possessive, I fucking am. I’m not fond of the idea of anyone else seeing him naked, not even Rose, whether she has a fated mate or not. Nox is mine.

Nox gets ready to leave *our* small waterfall, and I take a deep breath before holding his hand, stopping him from continuing.

He looks at me, but I’m busy looking at his broad, muscular shoulders. His dark hair almost touches his wet shoulder. My eyes follow a drop that drips from the end of his hair down his shoulder and then onto his muscular arm.

I bite my bottom lip. Prince’s skin is so perfect that it shines without a single flaw.

My pussy is already wet from when he was teasing me while bathing me. Every touch of his big hands made sparks dance on my skin.

His dark blue eyes look at me and lock me in place. His smirk tells me he can smell my arousal. “If I touch you right now, will I find your sweet pussy already slick for me, Princess?” Nox asks, something deeper echoing in his voice.

I glance around. I didn’t even notice when Letum and Dana arrived, but they were both already in the water. Fuck, this waterfall is small, I should have noticed what is happening around me.

This is Nox’s fault. *I always knew he had cast some kind of spell on me.*

The sound of water falling from the waterfall is the only noise that seems to be sound because everyone around us is silent, watching us. Attentively.

I can’t blame them.

Fucking werewolves.

I swear, as soon as they see a single sign of sexual tension, they are more alert than they would be in a fucking battle.

I hear a slight growl coming from Nige when he hears what my mate asked me, but I totally ignore him.

At that moment, it seems like nothing else matters. My neglected pussy is begging for more attention. My pussy wants *my* Prince’s attention.

Nox holds his hand tightly behind my neck, wrapping my hair around his fingers.

“I don’t want them to see you,” I say with a low voice, even though I know they are listening.

“I don’t want them to see you either, but I have no qualms with them seeing you take my cock because you were made just for me, Princess.” Nox growls, glancing up at the people who watch us.

His gaze halts, catching on someone as I turn to follow it. Nige still stands next to a stone at the waterfall’s edge, watching me intently with angry eyes.

“Because by the time I’m done with you, they’ll know exactly *who* you belong to!”

Nox invades my mouth, kissing me hard while one of his arms firmly embraces my back. His other hand is still steadfastly behind my neck.

His tongue dominates me in such a way that there is nothing left to do but submit to him.

My nipples are damn hard against his body.

I moan at the possessive way he holds me tight. It’s hard to breathe, but stopping our kiss is the last thing I want to do right now.

Then he starts walking with me backward to take me where he wants me.

I have my eyes closed, but I can feel their eyes on me. On us.

Nox pulls me out of the water, and he sits me on top of a big rock, exposing my naked body but still kissing me.

Even though I’m above him, with him between my legs, there’s no doubt who’s in control.

There is no place to run or escape. If I wanted to stop him, I should have left sooner.

When Nox releases my lips, I rest my hands behind the rock. Then, immediately with both of his hands, he spreads my legs wider and rests my feet on the rock.

He places each of his hands possessively on my knees.

His smirk when he looks directly at my exposed and wet pussy just shows that he had the answer to his question that I didn’t answer.

“Yes, Princess, your sweet pussy is already slick for me.”

I moan at Nox’s fervent attention. I try to close my legs, but he stops me, his fingers digging into my knees, leaving me on display.

“Show me what belongs to me,” Nox orders with a wicked glint in his deep blue eyes. “Show them what they will never have again.”
