The Lost Female Alpha

Elijah was still kissing me when he received a mindlink from his brother to let us know that Helen had crossed our border with some omegas from her pack. Glancing at my watch I noticed that she was almost two hours early. Either this woman was really eager to meet Ryker or she was trying to catch us unprepared. I really don't like her.

We quickly made ourselves look presentable and made our way downstairs to meet her entourage. They hadn't arrived by the time we got downstairs but Ryker was waiting near the door between Felix and his parents. Judging by the way they were standing so close to him I think they were expecting him to try running away. Or maybe he already had, he did seem to be acting rather sheepish.

Elijah stood beside his parents. He circled his arms around my waist, pulling me close to his body and kissing my cheek. I could sense his desire to demonstrate our love for each other in front of Helen. I was still trying to block out Elijah's thoughts and I couldn't hear them in my head like I could before. It was more like I could sense what he was thinking. I didn't really understand it.

'Our powers have been growing since we met Arthur,' Onyx told me.

Now I was really confused. I didn't remember him doing anything to me but I couldn't rule that out with someone like him. He was sneaky as fuck, he messed with everyone else mind so he could have messed with mine too. Or maybe his presence acted as a catalyst for my own abilities as my body tried to prepare me for the fight that was surely coming.

Elijah didn't even look up as Helen walked in through the front door. He continued to kiss my cheek as he moved my hair away from my neck to bring attention to his mark on my neck. My wolf purred, she was loving how possessive he was acting. She wanted him to take us right here, in front of the woman who tried to take him away from us. Then again she was a bit of a pervert.

Helen seemed oblivious to any of this as she walked into the house. She was followed closely by an entourage of eight omegas each of which was carrying two suitcases. Helen herself was dressed up to look like a doll.

Her hair was blonde and went all the way down to the small of her back. She was wearing a fancy knee length dress that looked to be decorated with real golden thread and sapphires to match her pack's colours. The dress was ostentatious and completely inappropriate for travelling. I had no idea what she was trying to prove but it angered both me and my wolf greatly.

"Don't let her get to you honey, it is what she wants," Elijah whispered in my ear.

Helen stopped walking and looked at everyone in front of her. "Which of you is my future mate?" Helen asked. I really wanted to make a sarcastic comment in response. The only person standing here who didn't have their mate by their side was Ryker. It didn't really take a rocket scientist to work out who he was.

"I haven't agreed to anything yet." Ryker stepped towards her, his anger was written all over his face for everyone to see. He had been unhappy with the arrangement before but now he was fuming.

A smile came over Helen's face as her eyes slowly took in his body. She was looking at him as though he was a juicy steak and she hadn't eaten for a week. That wasn't too far fetched, I was thin but she was so skinny that she was probably malnourished. Her bones were protruding quite badly on her shoulders and I could see her hip bones through the thick fabric of her dress.

"You will do," Helen said, smirking at him. Ryker glared at her with pure hatred. He wanted to say something to her, it wasn't in his nature to back down. His hands were clenched into fists at his side.

"I am not some trophy, you can't just claim me." Ryker growled. This was ridiculous, his stubborn streak was going to get us all in trouble if he couldn't learn to keep his mouth shut. I guess it was up to me to sort out his mess, just like every other time he got us in trouble growing up.

"Ryker, didn't you have that thing you needed to do?" I gave him a look that told him not to even try arguing with me. He glanced over to me, there was so much conflicted emotion in his eyes. He wanted to tell Helen exactly how he felt but the way he cared for me prevented him from insulting another alpha's daughter.

He closed his eyes and let out a frustrated groan before pushing his way past Helen's many omegas to leave. Helen didn't seem too bothered by his outburst. She turned her head slightly so she could watch him leave before turning her attention back to us. Her face was smooth and emotionless as she commanded one of our omegas who was walking through the hall to take her to her room.

The omega looked terrified. This wasn't the kind of pack where we got people to do what we wanted by shouting at them. Omegas were treated with respect and compensated fairly for the work they did. The omega that she had accosted was only a year older than me. I remembered her from the year above me at school, she was shy but she always seemed nice.

"While you are in my pack you will treat everyone with respect," Elijah shouted. I had never heard him use such a deep, commanding tone before, it was deliciously sexy. Tingles of desire spread down my spine as I imagined him using that tone on me tonight.

"You can't talk to me like that. I will tell daddy that you were mean to me," she whined. She stomped across the hallway towards us, her stilettos clicking loudly on the floor as she crossed the distance between us. She looked as though she had lost all control of herself, her face was wild and she was pointing her perfectly manicured finger at Elijah.

"Let me get one thing straight. You are here as a guest of my pack but if you disrespect my pack members then you will no longer be welcome." Elijah shouted. Helen glared at him, she was trying to intimidate us with her alpha aura. I wanted to laugh at how pathetic she was but I held onto my composure.

I gave her my best sweet smile while I released some of my own alpha aura. My aura was a lot more dominant than her's and I could see how uncomfortable it was making her. She looked away from me as she fought the urge to bare her neck to me in submission.

"Whatever." She mumbled as she turned around and walked over to where the omega was standing waiting for her. She looked a lot less full of herself now.
