The Female Alpha You Can't Tame

Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Theia

Deimos walks back inside quickly putting on a shirt. “Get dressed, we have something to do.” He instructs me.

“Do what Deimos?” I question him in return. His head moves to my direction.

“Do not question me, mate. Do what I say.” He replies in a stern tone, waiting for my defiance. With a huge sigh, I walk to my room to get ready. Questions swirl within my mind curious for answers. Rushing down the stairs I see the entire pack gathered in front of the main gates. Deimos in front and Ragon behind him. Everyone seems excited, chattering among themselves. I go ahead and stand to Deimos’s right. With one glance at me, he looks back to the gate. He seems nervous increasing my curiosity.

A black jeep comes to a halt in front of the gates. Silence smoothens across the pack but is disrupted by a loud laugh. I turn back to the gates to see a very beautiful female step out of the jeep. My eyes widen, her beauty overtaking my senses. Her light blonde hair softly flowing in the wind, her thick pink lips pulled up in a beautiful smile. I am a female and I feel this way, I wonder how the males feel. She looks straight at Deimos, her legs beginning a sprint. She runs straight into his chest with a huge laugh. “Hello, Deimos.” She whispers. Looking into his eyes she whispers again. “I have missed you so much.” Her voice sweet like sugar, small and soft as a feather.

Watching their meeting I grow more uncomfortable. What is their relationship? Clearing my throat to get their attention towards me. Deimos comes out of his haze and points towards me. “Theia, this is my mate.” Deimos introduces me. Her eyes widen with surprise and turn questioning towards Deimos. He eyes slowly begin to sadden and they turn away from her. This further agitates me. Who is she?

Turning towards me she puts out her hand. “Hello, I’m Theia. It’s wonderful to finally meet you.” Smiling to her words I shake her hand still wary of her presence. She leaves our side to mingle with the others. My eyes watching her every movement often catching her meeting Deimos’s eyes making my heart twist and clench. Who is she?

As the sun sets bringing forth darkness, the welcome ceremony they prepared for her comes to life. The lights sparkling and soft music playing in the background. The loud laughs and chatter of the wolves make it all livelier. Theia often sticks close to Deimos whereas I surround myself with my females. My wolf is agitated and will attack if she finds the smallest of things as a threat. She is the calmest around my females.

“Alpha is everything alright?” Elriam questions me softly her eyes holding worry. She can feel how uncomfortable I am.

My eyes drift from Deimos and Theia to Elriam. “Don’t you think something is off about them? Aren’t they too close for comfort?” I question.

She looks towards them and looks back at me. “Yes Alpha, I did. But I heard they are really close friends. Known each other since they were mere pups.” My eyes widen and I turn towards their direction once again. Since pups? Does that mean she knows every single thing about him? Things I don’t know? Things he doesn’t or might never tell me?

My eyes widen further to the sight of his soft smile he holds while he speaks with her. She has the power to make him smile, the power to make him show her his gentle side. Are they just friends? Who is she?

Deimos feels my eyes on him and he looks in my direction. I quickly turn away from him not wanting him to see my doubts. After their conversation, he walks up to me and my females. “May I borrow my mate?” He asks my females, in return surprising them. Deimos always respects females unless they go against him.

Bowing their head with sly smiles directed towards me they all answer with “Of course, Alpha!” Demos grabs my hand and leads me to his table. Theia watches our entwined hands with a look I can’t quite seem to decipher.

“Why did you bring me here?” I question him while we wait for the food to be prepared. My eyes searching for Theia’s.

“You have been sitting with your females the whole evening. I know you do so mostly when you seek comfort. So, my question is what’s making you seek it?” His words taking me off- guard. How does he know so many things about me while I know nothing of him?

“I have told you before, mate. I watch you. Now answer my question.” He answers my unasked question making me frown deeper. With a huge sigh, I answer him of my feelings.

“My wolf is feeling very agitated. She sees and understands something that I don’t but she doesn’t wish to tell me.” I tell him my truth. He looks at Theia who is sitting across our table laughing and smiling with the pack members. He’s hiding something from me. I look around at the pack members. They all are. Why? What is being hidden from me? Who can I ask for the truth?

Ragon pops in my head. Searching for him, I find him having a drink with Elriam. I shall ask him but I need to get him alone and away first. But before I could work out how, the food arrives and we begin our meal.

After the ceremony, Ragon leaves to complete an urgent job given to him by Deimos while I sit and ponder about why and what everyone seems to be hiding from me. I can’t seem to work it out as to why I’m making it a big deal. Why do I feel like I have to find out what is going on?

The lights are put off and all the pack members are all asleep with the moon high up in the sky sharing her light for us. I watch Deimos and Theia from my balcony as they drink and laugh to themselves. The soft night breeze blows pushing my hair across my face.

Feeling something under my eyes, I swipe my hand across only to feel wetness. I rub more. I’m crying? But why? I don’t have a reason to cry unless... unless my wolf is upset. Why? Why is she so upset looking at them? Aren’t they just friends? I don’t sleep well throughout the night, twisting and turning trying to get some rest. But how can one sleep when their heart is wary and mind is filled with unanswered questions.

Daylight seeps through the windows in my room and I am still wide awake looking up at the ceiling. I didn’t even get a minute of sleep. Getting ready for my early morning jog, I see Deimos and Theia running in front of me. Getting frustrated I run faster in front of them and away from their sight. What is this? Were they together the whole night? I hate this, I hate these feelings growing within me.

The whole pack meets in the field preparing for training including Theia. Deimos keeps an eye on me throughout the training. I guess he has questions as well. I ignore him till the end of the training not missing Theia looking and observing Deimos and me. What is with this female? Before Deimos could get to me, I find Ragon.

“Ragon, come.” I order him and he follows me with no questions asked.

“Yes, Luna?” He asks me softly.

“Answer me this Ragon. Who is Theia?” I finally voice out my question. His eyes widen for a second but he quickly hides it.

“Theia is Alpha Deimos’s close friend. They have been together since they were pups, Luna.” He answers my question looking straight into my eyes. He wants me to believe him.

“That I know, Ragon. But there’s something you are leaving out.” I tell him without hesitation.

“No, Luna. That’s al-” Ragon begins to support himself

“The truth! I want the truth! All of you are hiding something from me. I need to know and you will tell me, Beta.” My voice growing louder by each word pouring out my frustration.

With a deep bow and sad eyes, Ragon leaves telling me, “Sometimes not knowing is better than knowing, Luna. My duty is to protect you.”
