Introduction
“Do you know what I hate about you?”
“What?” Victoria asked her three-year-old patient facetiously as she prepared to inject the yellow solution into his arm. “What do you hate about me?” She whispered facing him as he was about to speak, she injects the solution into his arm, “done,“.
She smirked at him as his mom immediately gave him a lollipop to try and stop him from crying. “He looks healthy, you should try as much as possible to keep his sugar levels low because his sugar levels are very high.” She said as she pulled the cheek of the three-year-old, he slapped her hand away crying with the lollipop deep inside his mouth.
“I will try my best to reduce his sweet intake,” his mom replied, flashing the doctor her most expensive smile as she pulled her son down the bed.
Victoria’s smile brightened as the child avoids staring at her, “bye Tommy,” she waved them goodbye placing both her hands in her pockets, she watched the kid walk slowly out of her office with the lollipop dangling in his mouth as he complained.
Her heart sank as her cravings walked out of her office avoiding her gaze, she smiled to herself as she imagined how cute her child will look especially with the type of gene her husband was blessed with. An alpha, a ruling one at that.
She bites her bottom lip as his image grazed her senses, sending her brain into a frenzy that made her wet in places you don’t want to know about. Having an alpha is every girl’s dream in this country and having one as a mate is even beyond priceless. Her marriage was perfect except for one thing...
A child.
In this part of the country children are the number one symbol of being married or mated, living without a child after the first year of marriage is greatly frowned upon. Though no one has questioned the fact that she hasn’t given her husband any cub, she could feel the pressure in his sibling’s eyes every time they come and visit them.
Victoria looked through the corridor watching a woman leave the office of her colleague with two mixed-race twin boys -- with one of them leaping over one foot. She sighed deeply, truthfully speaking she was more than ready to give her 3-year old marriage a beautiful addition but she has not even fallen pregnant once or maybe lost it and her hubby is so playful and extremely horny as all Werelion males are but all test she has taken shows there is nothing wrong with her yet there is nothing to show for it.
“Hey, here is the test result you asked for,” she immediately snapped out of her head as she grabbed the board from her friend, who watched her make her way back to her seat like a maniac. “Will you tell me what’s wrong with you?” He asked as she looked up at him from behind her office seat innocently.
Just like her, he was going to complete his internship in a month then go for his residency program in the pack right next to them but unlike him, she can’t leave the pack grounds because well her big alpha husband would go all alpha on her and being human there is little she can take of his possessiveness, but she has always wanted to specialize in neurosurgery with the only surgeon closest to the pack being four-packs away.
“Stop zoning out when I talk to you, Sugar you’re getting me worried.” He said as he took his seat right in front of her.
“It’s nothing nosy cow, stop fuzzing.” She said knowing he wouldn’t believe her as he already has that look that says ‘stop lying I know you better than you know yourself’ already worn on his face.
“Page me when you’re ready to talk, I have a patient sugar,” he said and she smiled from ear to ear as she noticed his scrub pants have fallen into his buttocks.
“James your pants in the hole!” She screeched knowing he didn’t need that as he already had a super sharp hearing. She laughed, even more, when he stood confused not knowing if he should cover his ears or check his butt out.
“That was unnecessary.” He growled playfully at her as a powerful growl sounded from the door, he bowed his head without turning, “beta Corey,” he replied turning his head back towards the door.
“Apologize to your Luna,” the beta said staring at him heatedly.
“Corey it’s okay, we were just joking--”
“No Luna, joking or not he has no place in this pride to disrespect you.” He finished staring at Victoria’s smooth chocolate skin tone. She was a black human living in a mostly white werelion world.
“Corey! Stand down,” She moved swiftly as he approached her friend, James, who only bowed his head at his suffocating authority and hadn’t apologized. “Leave,” she told James as she stood right in front of Corey.
“You,” she pointed at the beta, “you can’t come to a hospital and start making a scene. When I’m here I’m a doctor nothing else.” She said taking a step back as she noticed their proximity to which he growled as she almost tripped on her own feet, “I swear sometimes you’re worse than your alpha.”
She looked back at him as she stabled herself on the table, she immediately stopped herself from asking the question she was about to ask him when his heated gaze tore into her soul like his lion was hungry and she was his meal, “Corey,” she called with a smile on her face as he shook his head immediately gaining back control.
“Sorry Luna,” he said about to leave her office when she pulled his sleeves, he immediately removed his hand away from her clutches as she looked at him shocked by the sudden movement, he smiled at her sheepishly.
“What are you doing here?”
“I came to get the autopsy result for one of our warriors that was found dead on our border two days ago,” he said with a smile on his face.
“Do you want to talk?” She asked and he immediately shook his head.
“Alpha is waiting for me, Luna, let’s talk later,” he turned around and walked out of the office, turning to the left as he made his way to the autopsy division at the hospital.
Heaving out a sigh of relief she sat on her desk as she took her patient’s test result in hand, “he is HIV positive,” she mouthed shocked by her patient’s result. He had tested negative just 6 months ago, she flipped the board close and placed it into her drawer as a very dangerous idea popped into her head.
What could make a man detest a woman? She needed the freedom to do her 6-year residency and what better way could she use to get it than this? She smiled to herself as she saw Corey walk past her office with a frown on his face.
She wondered if it’s his lack of mate comfort that makes him so detached, she shrugged the feeling off as she planned how to go about her plans internally, hoping and praying it doesn’t backfire badly on her.
Three hours later, she parked her car right outside her house deep in thought. She got out with a grim look on her face, upon opening the door to her house a gush of breath escaped through her lungs as she was tackled to the ground. Fur rubbing against her lovingly, as he covers her with his scent smugly, her hands combed through his mane as he continued his assault on her, grunting as he rubs his head on her claiming her like she was never his.
“Stop, stop it!” She shouted as she crawled away from underneath him, he sat staring lovingly at her, jumping forward he took her into his embrace lapping his tongue on her face. “Stop!” She shouted angrily at him.
He flinched and backed away from her as she stood up from the floor and ran upstairs. “Babe, what’s wrong?” He shifted and raced after her as she slammed the door on his face.
Pushing it open, he searched for her on the bed then he walked into their shared closet where she stood throwing all the clothes she bought with her money on the floor. “What’s going on? Where are you going?” She flinched at the coldness radiating through his voice, biting her bottom lips, she needed the residency as much as he needed an heir to reign after him, she’d be selfish to stay if she wasn’t capable of bearing him a cub.
He walked up to her and pulled her to him, staring at her deep in the eye as she looked up at him from his warm chest, “what’s this?” He asked, as she pushed against his chest but he held her secure by his arm around her waist pressing her into him.
“You cheated on me didn’t you?” She said as tears fell down her face at the thought of him cheating on her, but he just frowned at her, “tell me you didn’t cheat on me!” She screamed at him pushing against his chest, this time he lets her go.
“What?” The only word he could make out as he wasn’t expecting that from her -- everyone knew alpha males never cheat on their mates, where was this coming from?
She turned back towards the clothes she threw on the floor, packing them all roughly into a suitcase, he reached out and pulled her by her arm to which she responded by slapping him across the face, a roar rumbled in his chest as he stared at her heatedly halting her movement but her chest continued rising and falling from the anger evident in her stance.
“What? You wanna leave then do so, but tell me what I did exactly!” He said to her face before dropping her on the floor as he grabbed the stool close to his section of the closet. “We both know you would have known if I ever cheated on you so what’s this childishness?” The anger evident in his voice erased all the plans she had planned against him as she swallowed hard.
She got up from the floor and grabbed more of her stuff, placing them into her bag, “you want me to leave, I’ll do just that!” She pulled the bag up and rolled it out of the closet but was suddenly tackled to the wall, a rush of breath leaving her as she stared up at him.
‘Him’ the man of her dreams, Dam Wrights, a 6′4 alpha to the River flow pride an alpha that every woman in the pack as evidently had wet dreams about. He is one of the most powerful alphas in the world, having the largest pride that includes all ages and genders. He has lots of responsibilities to carry out and always made time for his mate, understanding that she was human he loved her like any alpha does his mate.
“Now is not the time to leave the pride, we have vampires lucking close to our territory, and I need you right next to me babe.” He said huskily as he buried his head into the crook of her neck inhaling her scent. He rubs his scent on her lovingly as he looked back at her as a low moan escapes her lips, staring at her beautiful brown orbs, “who told you I cheated on you? And why didn’t you take any of the clothes I bought for you?”
Avoiding his gaze she tried rotating her way out of his arms, arms that comforted her during one of the saddest periods of her life, arms that have given her nothing but joy and security. “Let me go, Dam,” he growled against her stopping her movement.
“Never!” He said nipping at her bottom lip as he pressed her further against the wall, claiming her lips in a heated kiss, she dropped the bag and he lifted her wrapping her legs around his waist cupping her ass, “let me show you how I would cheat on you,” he voiced huskily against her lips as he slammed her unto their bed his eyes filled with lust as does hers, “did you think you could escape from me?”
He breathed, eyeing her lustfully as she laid underneath him, her eyes set on his going down to his lips as he opens them to speak, she rose from the bed pulling his head towards her as she kissed him, she flinched as the door suddenly banged open. Dam growled at the door, effectively covering his mate with his body.
“Sorry alpha but, doctor Mike told me to tell you your WS shot is ready,” Corey said meeting Dam’s heated gaze as he covered the room with his aura.
“W.S shot? as in Were sterilization shot!?” Victoria jumped from underneath Dam as Dam growled at the closed door staring back at her wide eyes.
