The Alpha Wants Everything Book 1 The King's Queen

A few days had passed since Kane and Dax had their lunch date and the incident with Ky. He’s kept Ky on a short leash since he scared the shit out of Johnny in the office. Though he assured Johnny that Ky wouldn’t hurt him, he wasn’t actually sure if that was the truth. Ky was furious that day and Kane though knowing what he is capable of honestly didn’t know what he would have done. When he called the next day she said she needed space and she would call him in a few days, but that didn’t sit well with him or Ky, she was distant when they spoke, she sounded hollow and vacant, there was no music in her voice. They didn’t want to leave her by herself there. When he dropped her off at the warehouse that day the sparkle in her eyes was gone, snuffed out by cruel words, leaving them tortured and pained. He wanted to check up on her, Ky has been a pain in the ass wanting to see her. Like you’ve been pleasant! Ky snapped at him. True he was just as grumpy he simply missed her, her scent, the feel of her in his arms. The no touching rule she had went out the window that night in the warehouse, now all he wanted to do was touch her. He would stop by Glenda’s to grab them some dinner and he would go see her. About fucking time! Ky grumbled. Shut up mutt!

He walked into Glenda’s at five when she looked up at him, a hopeful look crossed her face when she thought Dax might have been with him. She looked around him but he just shook his head, the look fell from her face and she motioned for him to move to the side of the counter. Finishing with the customer she was talking to she walked over and stood on the opposite side in front of him, motioning for her waitresses to do their job.

“She’s not with you?” She asked not even masking the disappointment in her eyes, though they still held their glimmer it wasn’t as bright as it usually was.

“What do you mean?” Concern entering his voice.

“She hasn’t been in since she was here with you on Saturday” Glenda replied

“Where the fuck is she then?” The thought of her missing caused a surge of panic to course through him.

“Relax handsome, she’s a big girl and can take care of herself. She’s probably just holed up in that warehouse of hers. What happened?” Glenda asked, he ran his hands through his hair, he didn’t like this at all.

“Things were fine, people were whispering, pointing whatever and then we had an encounter with Mrs. Morganson-“ she stopped him right there.

“Enough said” she patted his hand “Murray we need comfort food” she called to the cook over her shoulder. He looked confused, when she turned back to him she just smiled the glimmer in her eye brightening. She walked away and went to the dessert case and started pulling items, brownies, cookies, chocolate pie and a few other goodies and proceeded to put them in a paper bag. Then she grabbed the items Murray had passed to her and placed them in the bag as well and gave it to him.

“When you see her give her a hug and don’t let go, you’ll get chewed out or maybe smacked upside the head, but you’re a big boy and can take it. She needs it, she needs you. Then let her have what she wants, and next time don’t leave her. Now go!” And she all but pushed him out of the diner.

What the fuck just happened? He stood there stunned, holding a bag of food with his mouth opened. I think….we were lectured! Even Ky was stunned. Cookies are comfort food? Ky asked. Cookies are not comfort food, it’s a snack! No way in hell was he giving her cookies to eat for a meal. He got in the truck and headed to her warehouse. It was just before six so he still had time to catch her before she shut down for the day. When he got there he moved with speed, he had a mission. He opened the office door and saw that her receptionist was already gone. Fucking moron left the door unlocked. Ky was growing agitated. He flipped the latch locking the door before he walked through the office towards the warehouse. When he was at the entrance to the warehouse, lilac and cherry blossoms surrounded him. He breathed it in deep, Goddess how he missed it, Ky purred content in his head just to be surrounded by it. When he saw her, his heart dropped. Her ears were hidden, she had her contacts in, her clothes were baggy and she even covered her hair under a cap. She hid all of her from everyone and she looked exhausted. Give her the cookies! Ky whined. Fuck the cookies she can have the cake!

She was on the phone, she looked tense and sounded like she was on the verge of tears.

“Yes, Mrs. Morganson, I got the number, I just haven’t had time to call” she was saying. That bitch really didn’t give her a number to a doctor that would cut off her beautiful tips did she?

“They could be removed in a matter of two hours” I’m gonna rip her to pieces! Ky snarled.

“Out procedure” Not if I get to her first! He put the food down and moved across the floor, took the phone out of her hand and disconnected. Pulling her into his arms, she stiffened right up and pushed against him.

“Don’t cut them off,” he whispered. He didn’t trust his voice, he was angry and he didn’t want to scare her. She struggled in his arms, and didn’t know why she did it but she hit him, he didn’t let go.

“Please, don’t cut them off” he held her closer and she hit him again and again, never spoke a word, just hit him. He stood there and took every hit, refusing to let her go until she clutched his shirt and cried, her body shook and he held her tighter. When he picked her up, she wrapped her arms around his neck and her hat knocked to the floor when she buried her face. He wrapped her legs around his waist then moved to where he put the food down, picked that up and moved upstairs. He put the food in the kitchen, and still holding her moved to the couch. He sat down and placed her in his lap. His hand slipped under her shirt to the small of her back where he rubbed small slow circles up and down, while he whispered how beautiful she was in her ear, and let her cry.

He was lost in thought, thinking of all the ways that beastly woman could meet her demise, when her small voice interrupted him.

“What are you doing here?”

“You sounded like you could use a friend” she nodded her head and cuddled in closer to him, his arms protectively moved around her more and he pressed his lips to her forehead. “I stopped by the diner as well, Glenda sent comfort food” though neither one made a move to retrieve the food, she just wanted to be held and he just wanted to hold her.

“What were you thinking about?”

“Nothing much” he replied

“Nothing much causes you to growl?” She asked. Shit! That’s the second time he’s done that.

“Truthfully….all the different ways that that bitch of a woman could meet her end.” He could have said anything, but he told her the truth, he refused to lie to her, he would always tell her the truth. He waited for the gasp, the lecture about thinking like that, but nothing she was quiet for a couple of minutes,

“Bear trap!” Her response shocked him

“Bear trap?” He looked down at her

“There are bears in the area, and her husband owns a store that sells hunting supplies. Stands to reason that bear traps would be around, and maybe she falls into one, accidentally of course.” She said nodding her head

“Did she accidentally fall into one because she was accidentally pushed on purpose?” He asked her, grinning, it would seem his little mouse was thinking the same thing.

“Not by me!” Was all she said

“Bear trap it is then” he laughed, holding her closer to him. Why didn’t he think of that?

After some time his stomach growled, it was then she lifted her head off his shoulder and looked at him.

“I’m always hungry,” he said, it was the truth as a werewolf even though you ate a lot, you always seemed to be hungry. Before she could say anything her own stomach growled in agreement, her cheeks flushed.

“Seems you’re hungry too” he grinned “Why don’t you get comfortable and I’ll get the food?”

“Ok” she nodded her head and crawled out of his lap and headed to the bathroom to remove her contacts, he was pulling food out of the bag, baffled by how Glenda got it all in there when she came out of the bathroom only wearing a sports bra and her cargo pants he stared after her a lopsided grin on his face as she walked into her bedroom.

He was in the living room with his back to the bedroom when he heard her come out a few minutes later. He turned around to look at her, she was wearing a dark grey long sleeved shirt that fell to her mid thigh. It had two white bands on each sleeve and 01 on the front.

“You’re not wearing pants” he blurted out immediately feeling like an idiot. Smooth! Ky laughed at him. It took him by complete surprise, he tried not to linger on her legs but failed miserably.

“You...you said get comfortable” she went to move back into the bedroom, but he stopped her

“Hey, if you’re comfortable not wearing pants, don’t let me stop you, I fully support that decision” a devilish grin spread across his face, he couldn’t guarantee he’d keep his hands to himself, hell he couldn’t guarantee he’d even try.

“Want something to drink?” She asked moving towards the kitchen

“Please, that would be great” he watched her walk to her fridge and open the door and purse her lips, then close the door.

“I have water” she bit her lip, he nodded his head,

“Water would be perfect” Guess she doesn’t entertain much! Ky snickered. Moving to one of the cupboards and opening it she reached up to pull down two glasses and the hem of the shirt lifted up to reveal charcoal coloured panties that had WANT ME? On them. I do, I do, I do! Ky howled. I do too! Tilting his head slightly to the side he enjoyed the view, but keeping his hands to himself just got a hell of a lot harder.

She walked back to the living room and handed him a glass, he smiled and thanked her, his fingers brushing her hand as he accepted it. It was encouraging to him to see that she was not only comfortable around him but with him in her space. She sat down on the floor and looked at her coffee table full of food.

“I don’t know what Glenda put in the bag, she said comfort food but I don’t entirely know what that means” Kane explained sitting down beside her. Dax smiled at him and picked up a container, she opened the lid to reveal mashed potatoes.

“Food that makes you feel good, or brings good memories,” she said. “Mostly it’s a lot of carbs,” she added, showing him the macaroni and cheese with bacon.

“That would explain the desserts,” he said laughing, opening the fries.

“There’s dessert?” She asked, her eyes lighting up a little. He laughed again and showed her the various desserts that were available. They ate and continued to get to know each other, he wanted to know everything about her, he would settle for everything she was willing to tell him right now.

“So what do you do when you’re not working?” He asked, looking around her loft.

“What do I do?” The question took her by surprise

“How do you entertain yourself? You don’t work all the time do you?” he looked at her

“No, not all the time, most of the time. But I read or listen to music” she shrugged. That’s it! Ky was shocked. She doesn’t leave the warehouse except to get food and supplies, we’ll have to change that!

Kane didn’t want to ask the question, but he wanted to know the answer. The last time she was pantless she said she had plans that didn’t require pants, he knew she was lying, but she never said she wasn’t seeing someone.

“What about dating?” He asked, she looked at him and arched her eyebrow.

“As a source of entertainment?” She questioned,

“Sure, why not?” He replied, biting back his urge to growl at the thought of her dating.

“No, I don’t date. I have never been on one actually” She answered, looking back at her coffee table. She wasn’t sure why she said the last part, but it was too late to take it back now.

“You’ve never been on a date?” He asked, he wasn’t sure why this surprised him.

“What do you do when you’re not making money?” She asked, moving the spotlight off of herself and onto him.

“When I don’t throw myself into my work, I read, have dinner with friends, watch sports,” he said, naming a few things. Truthfully being an Alpha didn’t really leave a lot of personal time, what time he did have he made count.

“Go to art shows and hit on pretty girls?” She asked jokingly.

“Johnny dragged me to it, his wife made him go and he thought I should as well. And no…. I don’t hit on pretty girls. I do however…. hang out with the exceptionally beautiful ones” he traced his thumb down her cheek and jawline, her skin flushed at the contact and then she looked at him.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and sat her on his lap straddling his waist. He was good, he behaved, he tried to keep his hands to himself, a brush here, a graze there, not enough for full contact but enough to cause his skin to warm. But one look, that one look was all it took and he came undone. His body craved hers, his hands caressing up her bare thighs, electricity flowing through his arms, as his movements caused tingles to dance across her skin. She was shocked by his action but made no move to get off of him, her fingers splayed across his upper torso, feeling the muscle beneath his shirt. She didn’t know what she was doing, and following her instinct she let her fingers trace the definition of his muscles across his chest. Her touch was light and feathery, she watched as it heaved with each deep breath he took. She moved lower, when his body shivered against her touch, her eyes met his black ones. Her lips parted when she released a small gasp and the movement caught his attention.

His hands continued moving higher up her body, sliding past her hips as his fingers skimmed her bottom under her shirt. Brushing lightly against the skin on her back, he watched her respond to his touch, feeling her body humming to life. When he reached her shoulders and realized she was bare under her shirt, he started moving his hands back down, his thumbs trailing her sides causing her to gasp. Sitting straighter, forcing her to lean and push into him to prevent herself from falling backwards. Grasping her hips when she did that a moan escaped him, feeling him growing harder beneath her. He kissed along her jaw and down her neck, she leaned her head back giving him better access, as his teeth nipped at the skin.

Using one arm to secure her in place, he wanted to feel her against him, his other hand again moved up her bare thigh. This time his thumb trailing the inside closer to her, when he passed over her she closed her eyes and sucked in a shaky breath. Her body shivered at his touch as he moved his hand higher up her shirt, exposing more of her body. He’s seen her top half and he’s seen her bottom half, now he wants to see all of her. Skimming just under her breasts she moaned and pressed into him harder. The kisses on her neck became more demanding, as he craved more of her to drink from. He wanted her lips on his, he wanted them moving with his, he wanted her hands touching him, he wanted all of her, but before he could claim what he wanted his phone went off. His hands and mouth stilled on her body. When his phone went off again a low growl emanated from him. FUCK! This is not happening again!

“WHAT? I’M BUSY!” He barked into the phone, she went to move off of him, but he shook his head, tightening his arm around her holding her in place. He ran his hand up to the top of her neck and all the way down her back. He wasn’t leaving her in that state again. OH NO! He was not getting paper weights thrown at his head again.

“I don’t care who they are” he growled out, he pulled her closer to him, she laid her head on his shoulder enjoying the movement of his hand. He kissed her forehead.

“Guess they should have called first” he felt her starting to relax into him from the motion of his hand.

“I’m surrounded by idiots” he whispered to her, causing her to smile, holding her tighter against him.

“You were supposed to hear that you idiot” he barked back into the phone, though he was angry her body pressed against him was soothing.

“They’ll wait” she wrapped her arms around his neck and completely pressed her body into his, he leaned back into her couch.

“Who I’m with is not their concern, but they are more important” another growl rippled through him, until he felt her fingers running up and down the back of his neck and threading through his hair. He closed his eyes at the feeling of calm that washed over him.

“They will wait, or they can leave” his voice was level, not angry but still held an edge to it.

“When I get there” and he disconnected the phone. He kissed her head “I’m sorry baby”

“Do you have to leave now?” She asked, sleepily

“No, soon, but we have time” he wrapped his other arm around her and held her there resting his head on hers. He would love to take her to bed, but he knows if he lays down with her, he won’t leave. His unannounced guests will not take kindly to that. Then again he does not take kindly to people dropping by unannounced. He didn’t care who they were, he wouldn’t hesitate to snap one of their necks. They are after all on his territory, without his prior knowledge or permission, he’s surprised they made it to the pack house before one the warriors took them out, the Blood Howlers protect what’s theirs. Must be someone who thinks they are important or carries enough weight to make his pack stand down.

He started to get up but she held tighter to him, she was comfortable and on the verge of sleeping and didn’t want to be disturbed. He ran his fingers through her hair, feeling the soft silky strands glide past each one.

“I’m sorry baby, but I have to go” he whispered, he was torn, he didn’t want to go, he wanted to keep his arms around her and allow her to sleep.

“Noooo” she groaned out “I’m comfy”

“I know, I would love to stay and finish what we started, unfortunately something extremely important came up and I need to deal with it quickly. Next time I promise.” He trailed kisses across her forehead

“Who says there’ll be a next time?” She asked, he pulled her away from him so he could look in her eyes.

“There will be a next time,” he said firmly and he meant it.

Standing up, he placed her back on her feet. They cleaned up the food and she walked him to the warehouse door. One last kiss on her forehead he left, telling her he will call her and to make sure the door was locked. Even though she locked the door, she heard him test it and a small smile crossed her face. He was concerned about her safety, she made her way back upstairs to her loft and she got ready for bed. She didn’t really realize how tired she actually was, until she almost fell asleep sitting on his lap. Her thoughts drifted back to what again almost happened, until his stupid phone again interrupted them. For someone who vowed to keep her hands to herself, you suck at it! Her subconscious teased her. Remembering how his chest felt under her fingers, how he reacted to her touch. His eyes turned black! He’s a weirdo! He almost kissed you! So close….he almost kissed me, he would have lost this little game we are playing! She smiled brighter, grabbing her phone and sending off a message.

He made it to the pack house and was greeted by Charles and three of his warriors, they all looked angry. He stepped out of his truck and calmly closed the door and looked at Charles expectantly.

“Alphas with their Betas from two neighbouring packs Blue Moon, and Clear Water” he said, his top lip curling, “Johnny and three other warriors are with them now” he looked from Charles to his warriors, they trembled with anger. What the hell are two neighbouring packs doing on his territory at this time? Motioning for them to follow he headed for the house, authority and dominance radiated off of him. Any pack member in his vicinity could feel it. Charles linked Johnny telling him Kane was coming.

“Maybe let Ky have some fun with this one,” Johnny said in his head, sounding displeased with the unannounced guests.

“So what? We just wait for him to bed some slut?” Johnny took one giant step back as the door came crashing off its hinges. The one who dared call his mate a slut now laid in a lifeless crumpled heap at his feet with his neck snapped right around, before anyone else in the room had a chance to move. Power and authority dominated the room as Ky made his presence known. The two other Alphas and now one Beta in the room all backed up bowing in submission.

“Looks like Blue Moon is in need of a new Beta” Johnny smirked,

“What do you want?” Kane growled out, motioning for two of his warriors to get rid of the body.

“He was unmated,” said the Blue Moon Alpha in shock and horror.

“That’s a real shame” came Johnny’s sarcastic reply.

“Don’t make me repeat myself or your pack will be looking for a new Alpha as well” Kane’s growl shook the room.

“An alliance!” They both said in unison.

“Alliance? This couldn’t have waited?” Kane snarled,

“No, Alpha Peter from The Black Water Pack, is moving from pack to pack making propositions, we have approached The Red Moon pack, but they already agreed to him”

“What kind of propositions?” Kane asked

“Merge or else” Alpha Clark from the Clear Water Pack said, Kane sat in one of his visitor chairs, seeing how he didn’t have a desk at the moment. Motioning for the two Alphas to sit, the tension easing up some in the room.

“Sounds like a land grab” Johnny in his head.

“Clear Water to the west and Blue Moon to the east, he’d close us in on two sides” Kane looked at Johnny who just nodded

“What do you have to offer?” The Blue Moon Alpha breathed a sigh of relief

“Put the word out to the other surrounding packs we are willing to negotiate alliances” Kane linked Charles, who bowed and left the room.

As the negotiations for an alliance began his phone went off alerting him to a message, he looked at it and a smile crossed his face,

D: “You almost kissed me….that’s round 4”
