Refusing my Alpha mate

Arthur

I sent a notice to the Council as soon as Clair left to prepare my apartment there. After that I could no longer work, I arranged the rest of the documents and separated the ones that I would take there personally. I took a shower and tried to sleep, but I was too agitated for that, I still felt my heart racing, and I saw Clair's face every time I closed my eyes. Her light scent was still on my fingertips and that made it even more difficult.

I slept a few hours, packed my suitcase, had breakfast, said goodbye to my parents, and headed to the Council, it was a 4-hour trip, and it just never seemed to arrive.

When I finally arrived at the stone castle, there were many more guards than I was used to, the rush was immense. I went to my apartment and left my suitcase, then I went to the legal department to leave my documents, I had never seen so many lawyers running from one place to the other.

Just then, I went to the auditorium for the interrogation, and Ethan and Clair were waiting, Ethan was wearing a black suit, which was very similar to what I was wearing, but his tie was green and mine was blue, but Clair, she was wearing a pencil skirt with a white shirt and a tight black blazer, her red hair was tied like a bun on top of her head, making her look like a businesswoman. I thought I had seen her in every possible outfit, from guard uniforms to casual and formal dresses, but I had never seen her formally, and damn, I needed to take a deep breath to not show it right away.

"Arthur, thanks for coming." Ethan was the first to greet me by extending his hand.

"No problem, Ethan," I responded by shaking his hand.

"Clair," I responded by extending my hand as well.

"Arthur." She squeezed back with a forced smile, and her blue eyes pleaded with me, her disappointment was almost evident.

"How is your father, son?" Ethan's question hit me hard, few people asked that, and I made a point of not thinking about it.

"We're living one day at a time, but..." I stopped and sighed, taking a deep breath to finish the sentence without any problems. "I just filed an emergency request for possession. We have less time than we thought." I almost ran over the last words, it was difficult to think about it, let alone talk about it.

Clair was quick to place her hand on my arm, and squeezed lightly, her eyebrows furrowed as I looked at her, her expression almost tearful.

"I'm sorry, son," Ethan told me, running his hands through his hair.

"Thank you, but about today, get ready, they should leave us exhausted," I said trying to change the subject. "They will ask you again and again what happened, and you always need to confirm and give the same information in every story, if there are confusing details it is better to leave them aside," I said directly to Clair, and she just nodded.

The triad arrived, and Ethan took a few steps to meet them.

"Is your leg better?" I asked Clair in a whisper, and she turned completely towards me, her eyes wide, she swallowed hard, and a flash of embarrassment crossed her face.

"Yes, thank you." She replied with flushed cheeks without taking her eyes off me.

"Come on, the session is about to begin." Ethan's voice spoke to both of us, and we continued entering the auditorium.

It was a round room with a domed glass ceiling, full of chairs and a tribune in front, it reminded me a lot of college juries. A Council guard directed us to sit in the lowest part, they were normal chairs and sat Ethan, Clair, and I, while the triad was on the stand, the three elderly alphas sitting on large carved wooden chairs, and myself with all my training I was intimidated by it all, even with all the confidence and knowing that we were the victims of the situation, I felt trembling inside. I felt something on my hand, and it was Clair's little fingers on mine, squeezing hard. I leaned back in the chair, took her hand, and placed it on my palm, while I placed the other on top and held it there for a few seconds, before leaning my body forward, until my lips practically brushed the tip of her ear, while I spoke.

"It's okay, just respond to whatever they ask. We are the victims, we didn't do anything wrong. And if you feel you need to, you can request a private response, just you and an officer." I told her, and I moved away, to the point of catching her scared look, which gradually disappeared, I squeezed her hand a little tighter, and she sighed before relaxing. "Leave it to me, Clair. I won't let anything get to you, neither physically nor legally." This line was more instinctive than rational, I was rationally trying to move away from her bond, if I wanted to reject her I needed that. But there, seeing her, my mate, scared and afraid, the sentence came out with all my heart, and the growl I heard from her chest was her wolf moving. She reacted by trying to contain herself, but a small tear welled up in the corner of her eyes.

"Thank you, Arthur." Her voice was hoarse, like a whisper.

The interrogation was long and exhausting, the guards brought food for us, as we couldn't leave, it was after 8 p.m. when they released Ethan, Clair and I stayed, and we only left after midnight. Of the 58 men who carried out the ambush, 40 were from the Council, including legal and administrative staff, and even some guards. They came together after none of them agreed with an Alpha female taking over a Pack, her law was only released when Ethan spoke to the triad himself, but even the legal leader was involved, and when Clair's guard captured them, there was no how to deny it, but a process of this magnitude brings big headaches. We still had the meeting in the morning, I went straight to my apartment, took a shower, and went to bed.

I rolled from side to side, and I couldn't sleep, and to help Clair's apartment, as well as our Packs, bordered each other, and her smell was so strong that I felt like she was there in bed with me. I sighed with anger and frustration, I looked at the clock and it was already more than one o'clock in the morning and I needed to wake up at 8:00.

"Are you awake?" The sweet voice came from the balcony, and I had to look twice to see that it was my balcony.

Clair was standing on my balcony in her nightgown.

"Yes, I can't sleep. How do you...?" I started to ask, getting up and going to open the glass door that divided the rooms.

"I jumped the guardrail." She said, throwing her red hair behind her shoulders and entering my room.

And she had to be kidding me, Clair was wearing a light blue nightgown, practically transparent, in addition to being able to see the white lace panties she was wearing underneath, her pink nipples marked the blue lace that covered her breasts, it was difficult of looking. Too hard. My dick immediately hardened and I had to take a deep breath to keep from losing control. My heart sped up and a ball formed in my throat.

I ran my hands through my hair, nervous, and she sat on the edge of my bed.

"I smell you from my room and... It makes even harder to sleep." She said with a choked voice.

"And do you think coming here would make anything easier?" I asked laughing, but it was laughing out of desperation, I couldn't maintain eye contact with her.

"I thought we could sleep in the same bed, we did that once and it worked." She said with a shrug as she got up from the bed, taking a step towards me.

She was close, too close, one more step, and our bodies would collide into one.

"At that time I hadn't fucked you in every way possible," I said laughing, imagining myself trying to sleep in the same bed as her after all that.

"And I don't see why we can't do it all over again..." She took the step, closing the distance between us, her smell was too good, too strong, too intoxicating. My hand went almost without control to the back of her head, Clair looked up, exactly below me, and bit her lower lip, there I completely lost control.

"Fuck." That's what I managed to say before kissing her, fast, strong, and intensely, it was almost a plea, of wanting her for myself.

Her small hands went directly to my shirt, I helped, and she took it off in one movement, while my hands slipped under the shirt of her nightgown and went straight to her ass, and as if the Moon had custom-made it for me, they fit exactly in my hand.

I felt her soft skin beneath my touch, and her hands that went from my chest to my arms gave me electric shocks that made me lose complete control, my tongue invaded her mouth at the same time as I pushed her to my bed, my hand went up under her nightgown to her waist and I controlled her fall onto my bed. And then Clair's hands went to my neck, pulling me down and close, and in a move, I never imagined she would make, Clair turned me around and laid me down on the bed while sitting on my hip, I felt her sex throbbing exactly on top of my dick. And she rolled over, making me moan and lose consciousness.

My fingers went to the straps of her nightgown, and she moved her shoulders, causing the nightgown to fall off her body, the fabric getting wrinkled at her waist. My hands went directly to her exposed breasts, there, in front of me, her soft, warm skin reminded me how much I missed it, how much I needed her, how much every cell in my body cried out for her every second. I got up, sitting on the bed with her on my lap, and claiming her mouth for me again, and I wanted to lose myself in that kiss and never found me again. I kissed her, leaving a trail of saliva down her neck, and across her collarbone, I held her by the waist, leaning Clair back slightly to wrap my lips around her nipple, first on the right, then on the left, while I felt my ears being flooded by her moans amidst the gasps of her breathing. I laid her down a little more until I felt her back touch the sheets, leaving her abdomen exposed, and I kissed every inch of her belly until I went down a little further, my hands went to her crotch, and I opened her legs for me. I lightly rubbed my thumb over the exact spot I touched yesterday, the exact spot I touched and it was enough to light her up. I took my mouth there, sucked, and bit the area, as I looked up and found her staring at me with her eyes half open. And then without losing eye contact I moved a little further to the side and drew a hoarse moan from her as I ran my tongue over her clitoris and felt her body vibrate beneath me, fuck, if it was one thing I loved it was feeling her react to my touch. I continued, my tongue pleasuring her as I slowly inserted one of my fingers inside her, feeling her completely wet.

"Arthur." My name choked out of her mouth, and that only made me increase my speed even more when I heard the sweet sound of her cumming. I waited for her legs to stop shaking before I stopped, and kissed her crotch, before moving up to kiss her mouth and feel her fingers pulling my pants down, and being surprised by Clair spinning me around again, getting on top of me, naked, this time, I felt her slippery pussy over my dick, making me moan. And then she held my member and positioned it at her entrance, she leaned forward and sat down slowly, at her own pace, and damn, she was learning too fast. Her dominance mixed with mine, it was as if we were constantly fighting for power, and for giving each other more pleasure.

"How I missed that." She said as she rolled slowly, teasing me, making me almost unable to stand it.

I lifted her by the waist, just to the point that I could control the thrusts even with her on top of me, she also moved her hips making me feel all kinds of pleasures that I imagined feeling until I couldn't take it anymore. I turned her around again, changing position and power once again, so my fingers went to her clitoris and I could push it deeper, harder, and hear her scream of pleasure once again, which was enough to make me enjoy too, as we cum together.

I let my body fall onto the bed, and she snuggled into my embrace, something that was becoming so familiar. And we were so tired, that after that I don't remember anything, I just slept.

I saw Clair in the guard uniform, with braided hair, and a silver streak on the side of her mouth, and suddenly she fell to the ground.

I woke up scared, but this time she was in my arms, I held her in my embrace and she let out a slight moan as she cuddled up, there I found peace, and slept again.

"Clair, are you there? The hearing is in an hour, I thought we'd stop by the gym first." The voice was Ethan's and he was knocking on her door.

I felt Clair jump out of my arms, she was hugging me, her legs over mine and her arm on my chest, but she suddenly got up when she heard her father's voice, and without exchanging any words with me, she left, opened the door running and jumped over my balcony guardrail.

Lying there I realized what a shit I had done. Unable to sleep again, I decided to follow Ethan's advice and go to the gym, I ran on the treadmill for about 10 minutes and went to the equipment area.
