My Eternal Mate
Chapter Twenty

LYRA

"Evan, let me go," I snapped, finally coming to my senses and used my Alpha powers to snatch out of the man's grasp on me before we could get away from the house. "Don't you dare ever do that again."

Evan frowned. "The Alpha ordered that I bring you back home safe," he replied, bowing his head slightly. "With all due respect Luna, I have to follow his order."

I narrowed my eyes at him and crossed my arms, not expecting for him to try and go against me. "Alexander isn't your only leader, you do realise that, right?"

"I wouldn't dream of disrespecting you," Evan promised, concern evident in his brown eyes. "The Alpha is doing this to keep you safe."

"Move out of my way," I snarled, before I brushed him aside, ready to take a step towards the house, when the door flung open, and a very angry looking Alexander appeared in my vision.

"Hi," I said, innocently, holding my hand up to wave at him.

"Going somewhere?" he asked, his voice husky, eyes dark. He was not amused.

Biting my lower lip, I shrugged. "To you?"

Alexander's eyes narrowed at me. "Yeah? Is that why you left the house and came here alone without notice?"

"You were occupied," I quickly defended, my voice low. "I didn't want to disturb you." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

My mate growled lowly, walking in large strides, not stopping until he had reached me. He snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me flush to him, making me yelp in surprise.

"Do you know how fucking worried I was, Lyra?" he snarled, his voice hard. He didn't swear much around me, so when he did, I knew he was extremely unhappy. "I was ready to kill Aspen, knowing you were here alone."

"I wasn't alone," I reminded him, raising my hand to cup his face. "And I just wanted to speak with him."

Alexander eyed me for a couple of seconds before he gave Evan a single nod and tugged at my hand.

"We are leaving," was all he said, before he started walking, with me following behind.

He didn't utter another word when he started to lead us back to the house, walking in his usual big strides, making me almost hop behind him since his hand was practically glued to mine. The firm grip was enough to tell me he was not happy with me.

We reached the house in record time, with Alexander pushing me inside forcefully, making me frown as I watched him close the shutters.

Once shut to his liking, he turned back to glare at me. His jaw was clenched, his eyes narrowed and dark, his brows pulled together. I could count on my hand the many times that I had seen him this angry; and I can confirm that it wasn't very often.

"What do I do with you?" he asked, his voice hard, his eyes raking up and down my body.

Shrugging, I replied, "I wanted to be useful as the Luna." Sighing, I plopped myself down on the bottom of the stairs. "Watching you deal with all the pack issues sometimes makes me feel like I'm not even the Luna. Yeah, I get to visit the orphanage and train some wolves, but compared to what you do, it's nothing."

Alexander crossed his arms, a brow raised as he tuned in to my outburst. "Finished?"

"Don't talk to me like that," I snapped, my brows twitching. He couldn't be serious right now.

"Like what?" Alexander retorted. "Do you have any clue in the world what it feels like to find your mate, who bare in mind is hurt, absent at a time like this?"

"As you can see, I am perfectly fine," I snarled, not appreciating that he was taking his frustration out on me. "You need to direct your anger elsewhere, Alexander."

He looked like he was about to say something, but stopped himself and glanced at me with hard eyes.

"You think I am taking my anger out on you?" he ridiculed, his voice harsh. "I am furious with you, Lyra."

I snorted. "Are you sure about that?"

Alexander scoffed. "What?"

Shrugging, I said, "Sounds to me like you just need a punching bag, and well, here I am, I guess."

Alexander growled, making me cower back slightly before he stalked right up to me. I rose from my position to show him that I was just as strong as him, and not intimidated. It gave him the advantage of pushing me up against the wall, his large frame covering mine.

My breathing hitched at the close proximity, and despite the fact that we were mates, he still had that effect on me.

"You think this is some sort of a joke?" he asked through gritted teeth, his charcoal eyes claiming mine.

"No," I responded, my voice hardly above a whisper. "But I have every right to make my own decisions."

Alexander's dark eyes narrowed as he searched mine, before his eyes trailed across every inch of my face and then down my body. With a quick glance on my previously injured arm, he tugged at my hand and started to walk up the stairs, forcing me to tag along with the tight grip on my hand.

"What are you doing?" I cried, trying to pull my hand back, but my wolf snarled at me.

Alexander didn't respond but lead us to our bedroom, where he dumped me on our bed, before he closed the door shut and turned around to face me.

"You want to defy me," he muttered, his voice low and dangerous. "You want to get hurt," he continued, slowly approaching me, unbuttoning his shirt in the process. "Anything but to obey me. Sure, but you should know with that comes consequences."

"Alexander," I whispered, my voice trailed off as I eyed him, confused.

Once his shirt was completely unbuttoned, he tossed it to the ground before he climbed on to the bed. My heart was racing frantically in my chest, and I gulped loudly as my eyes travelled from his face down to his sculpted chest.

My wolf purred excitedly, and I tried to suppress her, not wanting to be distracted by my mate's Godly sculpted body. We needed to talk, this was not the time for this.

"What are you doing?" I asked, plopping myself on to my elbows, as I eyed him hover above me slowly.

"This is the consequence for your actions," he growled, hovering completely above me, making me fall back in to the pillow as I stared at him, dumbfounded.

His eyes dark and angry, stole a quick glance at my face before he lowered his head down to my neck where he grazed at my skin with his teeth.

When his tongue scraped against my mark, I whimpered, closing my eyes at how good he felt, but I needed to control myself.

Placing my hands on either side of his arms, I said, lowly, "You aren't going to do anything I don't want."

Alexander raised his head to narrow his eyes at me, a frown covering his face. "You are telling me, you do not want this?"

His dark eyes excited my wolf and before I could explain myself, my wolf urged me to speak. "I do," I confirmed. "But—"

That seemed like enough permission before Alexander cut me off and covered my lips with his. Despite how badly I wanted to speak with him, to discuss what the hell was happening, when his hand trailed down my body, groping at all my sensitive spots, I couldn't help but forget about our problems.

Alexander tore at my clothes, having me squirm, completely nude, beneath him. His tongue was tracing every inch of my skin, his teeth grazing, making me moan in the process.

It didn't take long, and there wasn't much foreplay, when Alexander picked me up and had me straddle him as he seated me on his lap. He had undone the shorts he had been wearing, before he tossed them aside and had me seated on his hard-member.

He steadied me by placing his hand on either side of my waist and had me ride him. I gripped on to his shoulders as I bounced up and down his length, moaning as he filled me.

Alexander was being rough, allowing me to ride him for a couple of minutes before he ran out of patience and started to thrust in to me, hard. Despite how rough he was being, the pleasure that erupted through me told me this was exactly what I needed right now.

My breasts were bouncing up and down with each movement, and Alexander buried his face in the space between my boobs, as he held me tightly, with each thrust pacing up.

"Alex," I moaned, tilting my head back as I gripped on to his shoulders tightly, feeling myself reaching climax.

Before I could, my mate lifted me up and had me tossed on the bed. I hardly had time to react, when he pressed his member up my core from behind. Alexander thrusted harder and faster, making me cry in to the pillow at the pace he was going.

I didn't even have time to catch my breath, when Alexander leaned over, his grunts by my ear filled my head.

"Do not ever defy me again," he warned, huskily, in to my ear. "Understand?"

I was about to argue with him, not appreciating that he wanted me to be his submissive, before he thrusted once more, making me yelp in surprise, as he completely emptied inside of me.
