His Lover, My Mate

One: Mate

WELCOME OLD AND NEW READERS!

This world is very different from our own. It's darker, more bloodthirsty. There's A LOT of male dominance and killing. Power, strength, and ruthlessness are valued traits over compassion, because they ensure one's survival in this harsh world. Therefore, everyone's raised to capture and claim. That's where Alphas come in. They are like kings to a kingdom (which are packs in our case). Alphas are raised to be cruel and very dominant, as well as possessive. Defying an Alpha is punishable by death. 

Yes, that means there are a lot of triggering shit in here. 

Lastly, I've decided this story will have alternating POVs between Rush and Aletha. I'll indicate who's POV each chapter is in at the start of each chapter. 

With that said, ENJOY! :)

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

*Rush*

The night was dark, mysterious, seductive. That was how everyone described him. The Alpha of deception and savagery. The Alpha of seduction. The Alpha of endless pleasures and erotic fantasies. The Alpha of the Night Pack. And now as he stared into the darkness of the night, he knew he was born to stay in this darkness and embrace it.

After all, it was only the darkness that concealed his true nature.

He smiled. If they knew exactly what he was, the world would scream. The Night Pack was unbecoming. It was kissed by darkness and birthed by death. And nobody would know the truth. What happened in the pack stayed in the pack.

"Alpha Rush," a female called to him in a sultry voice. Her fingers wrapped around his arm as she leaned closer to him. "I've been waiting so long to see you again."

Rush turned, taking her in. She was a breathtaking female from the Lunar Pack. She had that willowy figure and graceful smile. These females were bred to be proper. But all the etiquette went out the door when they saw him. "You must be Briane," he said with a smile. She was the sister of the Gamma of the Lunar Pack, the largest and most powerful pack in the realm. "I haven't seen your brother or I would have greeted him already."

"My brother's guarding today," she replied, her hands sliding up. She licked her lips. "Do you remember what you did to me that night? You took my innocence and turned me into something more...insatiable." She took his hand and pressed it against her breast. "I want you, Alpha. I've wanted you all this time. Only you can satiate what you've stirred in me."

"Briane, people will see us. They'll talk about you in ways that will ruin you, love," he told her, pulling her out of the large ballroom in the Lunar Pack's castle. It was the Spring Ball the Alpha of this pack held every year, and Rush was his ally so he had to attend. Not that he hated it. Because females always flocked to him and entertained him. Like now. "I don't think taking you will be for the best, Briane."

"I don't care what people think, I can take care of myself," she said with her head held high.

Interesting. Rush slammed her against the wall. "You really want me to take you?" he whispered against her ear. "Because when I start, I don't stop."

"Then don't stop, Alpha," she whispered back. "I don't want you to stop."

Then his mouth was on hers, her legs wrapped around his hips. She was moaning against his mouth, and he knew what this was--just a thrilling night for her to remember. It was always the same thing with these females. They desired him because they saw danger and an erotic fantasy that they wouldn't ever get. With him, they would get one night of losing themselves to lewd recklessness. But what happened after one night? It was never permanent. They would go back to their mates and he would be left alone without one.
