The Possessive Alpha Chapter 119

*****************************

I haven't slept, Scarlett and I too alert, so I know the second we turn onto the excluded drive leading to the pack gate hidden deep within the Adirondacks. My entire body buzzes with excitement as Scarlett itches to get out of the car, clawing to find Slade. 

As we approach the gate, something changes as warriors pour out of the woods surrounding the car, their uniforms different from New Moons. "Fuck," Xander says, slowing the car, before placing it in park and leaving it in idle. Keeping his hands on the steering wheel the nerves rolling off of him in spades as he rolls down the window, a warrior walking forward to talk to us. 

'Council warriors,' Charity says through the link, and now I understand why Xander and Fletcher are suddenly so nervous. If only I could still link Damon, that would really come in handy in moments like this. I know I am strong, but I am smart enough to know if we start with only the four of us the chances of making it out alive are slim. 

There is no way I will survive a fucking rebellion just to die minutes before seeing the love of my life. No way in hell is that happening. As a subtle scent rolls through the window, it puts Scarlett even more on edge making my insides scream to let her out. 

"Stiles," the warrior greets Xander his voice ice cold, keeping my eyes ahead I see Beta Jake pushing through the crowd. A moment of relief passing over his face until he realizes the situation I am in panic written all over him. "What are you doing at New Moon? Come to take down another Alpha?" The man snipes and I thank the Goddess he still hasn't noticed me sitting in the passenger seat. 

"Have some business matters to discuss with Alpha Damon," Xander responds, a darkness swirling around him that I hadn't seen before from the quiet man. "I didn't realize he lets the trash guard his borders." His snip at the warrior makes me realize they know each other personally. The man so distracted by his fued with the rogue he hasn't paid attention to anything else in the vehicle. 

"I am sure he won't mind when he finds out its you," the man snaps, the two of the quarreling like teenage mean girls. I can practically feel Charity rolling her eyes in the backseat as she watches the exchange. My hopes that I will be able to remain unsee by the man remains short lived when he finally looks past Xander. 

"Luna," he breathes, relief clouding his words and demeanor, "are you safe? I apologize, but I need you all to exit the car." He commands, waving a few warriors over to open mine and Charity's door setting my teeth on edge for an ambush. 

Stepping outside the static in air is calling to Scarlett as she whines her patience growing thin at being kept from investigating it. Stepping out of the car, in baggy sweats while covered in blood, sweat, and dirt has me looking like a real treat, as the hum of quiet whispers break out amongst the warriors. 

One phrase sticks out the most as, the warriors stare with shock, "her eyes," is sprinkled through the different conversations happening among them. Some looked at me with trepidation but most of the males looks at me like some trophy to win. Their lustful gaze making my skin itch, and my stomach feel unsettled. Something isn't right about this situation and Charity feels the same way, the men blocked from exiting the car. 

Am I about to be abducted for real this time? What the fuck is happening? "I need you to come with me, Luna," the warrior escorting me says as he grips my arm, his palms like lava on my skin. "But I need to ask you some questions for the council" He tries leading me away from the gates, but I plant my feet refusing to step any further as I tug my arm from his hold. 

"I believe I have answered all the Council's questions in the file I sent to the earlier today," I say firmly throwing my Alpha energy behind my words. "Now, I really must attend to the business I have with Alpha Damon."

I try stepping away only to be grabbed forcefully and yanked against the warrior, as bends closer his over cologned odor overwhelms my senses, as he growls lowly, "You may be a Luna but as a council warrior I still rank higher than you. I suggest you listen."

A roar I would recognize anywhere breaks through the forest, shaking the world around me and making me pool into a puddle of desire. Suddenly, the wind shifts my nostrils filling with the most delectable scent, that I have craved for days. Scarlett feral as she thrashes around internally nearly impossible to control. 

Turning in the warriors arms, my gaze finds Damon's face, roving over it to find a shadowed chin, and eyes similar to mine. As they connect the rest of the world falls away the only person who exists is Damon, as our bond clicks into place, the strings already at work to pull us closer. 

"Mate," we say together, the warrior instantly letting me go as the word falls from my lips. As if my mind as has  a mind of it's own my feet take off carrying me toward him as I launch myself into his arms, tingles erupting more intense than they had ever been before.

My lips crash into his with fervor, as our lips mold together in perfect harmony, not caring that the nearly every warrior in the council is watching us. Staying lost in our world for a few minutes, Damon pulls away with a chuckle his thumb running along my cheek as our foreheads rest against one another. 

"I missed you too, Biscuit," he hums, clearly as happy to have me home. Opening his eyes with the same abnorality as me, makes me curious but I don't care only thinking about dragging him away to our bedroom so I can finally have is mark on my skin. Officially, and done the right way. 

Finally, breaking his attention away from me he stares at the warriors watching our interaction, clearly unsure of what to do. But when they notice our eyes they collectively take a step back. "As my Luna said," Damon growls pushing me slightly behind him, "she has sent all the information you require to the council already. As you see Elle IS my destinated mate so any quarrel the council had about my birthday is now rendered a moot point and they have no legal claim to continue intervening." 

I notice a few of the warriors looking at Xander and Fletcher with interest, and Damon does too, the bond between us growing stronger by the minute even though we haven't completed the process. "As per the council's code any road leading up to a pack is considered part of their territory. Alpha Xander and his Beta are welcome, and do not fall under your jurisdiction. Now, you have an hour to get the fuck away from my territory unless you want a war."

Not waiting for their responses Damon turns looking at me with a mischievous little grin before picking up and place me over his shoulder despite my squeals of laughter. Without another look at the warriors he carries me toward the gate, calling over his shoulder to Andrew and Matt. 

"Show our guests around, and make sure the warriors our gone within the hour," he instructs, as we cross over the threshold into his territory before placing me down gently in front of him. 

Meeting his eyes, I can't help the grin that spreads over my face as I take in his beauty while Scarletts purrs practically vibrates my whole body. "What do you want to do to do Alpha?" I ask with a scandalous glint in my eye. 

"I can think think of a million things I want to do first," he replies, his voice getting husky, his eyes filling to the brim with lust. A rumble from my stomach, reminds me of the gnawing hunger sitting in my stomach as an unintentional yawn leaves my lips. "But what's most important is getting you showered, fed, and a good nights sleep." His voice stern, yet soft and gentle as he takes in my appearance.

Expecting to see disgust at my unkempt appearance but all I find is love and adoration. Pulling me into his arms, carrying me bridal style all the way up the drive as my head rests against his chest relaxing for the first time in days.
