Into the Alpha’s Keep Chapter 47: 46

POV Fenrir Dăneşti

Marilyn was offering me sex, at a time when I just wanted to be alone and think.

“Yeah,” I replied, not bothering to look in his direction.

Hunter was a son of a bitch, a bastard, but he seemed to be very convincing, since Savannah had believed in him her whole life, without finding out what his true intentions were.

She trusted him once, she loved him. She herself told me that she didn’t miss her family, that she didn’t care about her parents’ death, so what guarantee did I have that she wouldn’t go back to the bastard?

Marilyn grabbed the sides of my leather chair and turned it, placing me in front of her. She leaned over me, sliding her tongue over her lips in a sexy way.

“I’m talking to you,” she purred. “I miss you, Fenrir. You’re not giving me the attention I deserve.”

She pushed my hands to my sides and sat on my lap, holding the back of my neck. She stroked my hair, closing her fingers around the strands.

"Marilyn, I'm busy," I sighed.

She moved, crushing my cock with her round, soft ass, back and forth, masturbating me with the movement.

"I'm an unsatisfied wolf right now. I just told you I was invited to the party, again. And you don't even answer me properly." She brought her face closer to my ear. "Last time, you loved how I sucked your cock," she sighed and pulled away to face me.

I stared at her, grabbing her thin waist and a wicked smile appeared on my lips.

POV Savannah Bowen

I watched people running around, getting things ready for the damn party that was about to happen again. The party I wasn't invited to, but that Fenrir insisted on going to.

"What's the point of this party, anyway?" I asked Alexandra, as we walked through the village on a morning stroll.

She sighed and gave me a look.

"It's kind of a secret..."

I snorted.

"Tell me now, Alexandra. I know you're not going, so it doesn't matter if it's a secret or not, no one's going to do anything." She looked around us and pulled me into a darker corner, between two houses.

"Remember when I told you that we only get pregnant if it's from our destined partner?" she asked, and I nodded in agreement. "So, you know that it's forbidden to go from one territory to the other and the transgressor is punished with death. These parties, which happen every month, on the first night of the full moon, are meant to bring couples together. Only a few are invited, those who don't have a partner. Usually young females and males. Alphas and omegas, with the intention of giving them the chance to find the perfect mate and procreate.

I opened and closed my mouth, perplexed, but no sound came out.

“So it’s like an… orgy?” I asked after a while.

“Like that,” she whispered, confirming.

“Do the alphas go?” I asked, referring to the leaders. She understood.

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“For fun.”

Well, that explained a lot.

“Have you never been to these parties?” I asked, changing the subject. Feeling the need to change the topic.

My wolf, although she was angry with Fenrir, still had… obsessive feelings for him. Talking about a party that was coming up and that I knew he would be there didn’t help to calm her down.

“I only went once, when they first started it. It’s fun and different, a good way to pass the time.” But, as I said, the only purpose is to mate and procreate. I had nothing to offer, so I stopped being invited. And I wouldn't go either, after Mihaela, they don't invite the betas, for obvious reasons. But I help with the organization, as does Nicoleta, when Anton and Andrei are busy.

" What organization?

" I give Fenrir a list of all the Dăneşti members who were invited, that's how he keeps track of the wolves that leave the territory on that particular day.

That explained why they barely spoke to me the whole day the last time the damn party took place.

We started walking again, resuming the stone path in the center of the village. I looked up and watched the omegas, who seemed to be about my age, running around happily.

" Why is it so important to them? — I asked, pointing at them with my chin.

Alexandra clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth.

" Besides the fact that they will have the chance to find the great love of their lives? The alphas.

" The alphas? — I blinked, confused.

" Yes, they are all going to the party. They want the long-awaited and long-awaited chance to fall into the bed of one of them.

" Even the one that kills females? — I cried, astonished.

" Even him.

" Hmm... that's kind of weird.

Alexandra laughed out loud, catching a few glances.

" Of course it's weird. And really strange. But he's hot, I think they put their beauty and power above self-preservation.

I kicked a pebble on the floor, thoughtful.

" Will I ever be invited to go to one of them?

" Do you want me to answer honestly?

" Yes.

" Fenrir would never allow it. Maybe he doesn't care, but his animal certainly does. He would kill, without even thinking twice, any male that touched you.

" I made a noise in my throat, indignant.

"It's all his problem.

I grabbed the pink skirt of my dress, closing my hands over the thin fabric and kept walking, ignoring the unwanted pain of betrayal. I knew it wasn't really a betrayal, he and I had nothing, but my wolf didn't seem to agree.

For all I knew, I could have him stay with Marilyn and they could go to hell together, hand in hand.

Things were much better between us, the mood was mild, and we could even have a... friendly conversation for a few minutes. But that didn't change the fact that he was an arrogant jerk, most of the time, or whenever possible.

We continued our walk through the village, distracted. Alexandra always found something new to show me or teach me. I was already getting used to everything, some people even greeted me, even if they were barely noticeable nods.

We arrived at the lumberyard. The strong smell of eucalyptus permeated the air. Some wolves were walking, carrying pieces of logs in their strong arms.

Fenrir's office was a cottage further back, on a small hill, with a privileged view of part of the city. As we got closer, I felt my chest grow calmer and calmer.

He was there.

I clutched the dress a little tighter in my hands and bit my cheeks, nervous. I didn't know how he would react, I had never gone to him while he was working.

The soft, velvety voice was the first thing I heard. My feet stopped on their own, my My body reacting to what was happening.

I breathed in, smelling fresh pine and damp earth. And then, her scent.

I looked up, gasping as I took in the scene.

Rage ignited in my bloodstream, spreading like liquid embers.

Marilyn was sitting on Fenrir's lap, her hands around the back of his neck and her face so close to his that, from a distance, the tips of their noses seemed to touch.

She whispered something in his ear that I couldn't hear or identify. My heart was pounding so hard that my eardrums were ringing, leaving me dizzy.

I shook my head and took a shaky step back, swallowing hard because my throat was choked.

The anger wasn't flowing from me, but from deep within my soul, from the supernatural being I held beneath my skin.

She was hurt; she hated him; she was heartbroken. And not me.

It hurt. And her pain reflected back at me.

I blinked, feeling the control slipping from my body. I couldn't take my eyes off them, but I could feel the weight of Alexandra's gaze on me.

"Savannah... I'm sorry," she whispered, reaching out her hand, not touching me, afraid of my reaction.

I'm sorry. That's what he said when I told him the truth. His apologies weren't enough, and now they weren't even convincing.

He didn't care. I was just a she-wolf in heat who crossed his path and somehow made him lose control over his animal.

I was a nuisance, someone he would have to live with for the rest of his life. A problem with no solution.

Liar. Scoundrel. Traitor.

He wasn't, after all, so different from Hunter. The alpha of the Eclipse pack betrayed me, as a person, tearing my heart apart, while the alpha of the Dăneşti pack hurt my she-wolf, ending my soul.

What the hell was wrong with these males? Or was the problem with me?

Wasn't my heart enough, they needed my soul too?
