Chapter 158


    Chapter 158. A Puce for an Alpha


    Pollux.


    I was never a man who cared for envying other people and in all honesty, I had been aplete


    asshole over the past few weeks. Not only while being here, but also before we came here. My sister


    was my twin, and even though we werepletely different and irritated the shit out of each other, I


    couldn’t tell her no.


    The way she looked at me with pleading eyes asking me to help her because she believed more than


    anything that Lu- cas was being controlled, I couldn’t say no. I couldn’t let her down and not help her


    when she needed it most.


    Even though I thought she was full of shit… even though I thought this was all pointless.


    “You’re doing the right thing, Lux.” Trixie’s voice pulled me from my thoughts as she came to sit next to


    me at the table in the dining hall. I had been so against her initially, but thest few days, I had spent


    more time with her because of every- thing going on with Cassie.


    She wasn’t like I had expected her to be and when I stared at her glowing green eyes and electric blue


    hair, I saw a wom- an far more exotic and beautiful than I ever saw before. A woman who was capable


    of so much, and yet had been so vastly misunderstood.


    “Am I, though? I can’t help but feel she is wasting her time.”


    Trixie sighed as she stared at me. I didn’t understand why she was so willing to stand by Cassie in this


    charade of trying to help a man who didn’t even want to be her mate. It was em- barrassing, and all she


    was doing was hurting herself even further.


    “People act weird when they are in love, and even if he doesn’t want her, Cassie has a good heart. If


    you haven’t been able to tell already, Cassie sees things in people others over- look.”


    There was something in Trixie’s eyes as she spoke that made me wonder if she was slightly directing


    that at me. If she wasn’t trying to say I overlooked things, and maybe also that I was acting weird.


    All of it confused me to be honest, and as I tried to wrap my head around everything going on, Lucas


    walked back into the dining hall with Zia on his arm and every part of me want- ed to lose control. Every


    part of me wanted to rip him apart for what he was doing to my sister, and he must have felt my anger


    because when he looked at me, he smirked.


    “Don’t…” Trixie softly ced a hand on my arm, “let it go. We are supposed to be helping her, not


    making things worse.”


    “I can’t fucking stand him. Even before we came here, Lu- cas was nothing but a thorn in my side. So


    many times I had the chance to get rid of him, and yet… I couldn’t.”


    Standing to my feet, I gripped the edge of the table and stared at Lucas, who sat with a group of kids


    on the far side of the dining hall. His arm, still draped around Zia. She kissed his neck as if they were


    thoroughly in love.


    The entire sight sickened me, and it made me want to rip him apart even more. But before I could do


    anything, Trixie stood beside me, her hand tightening around my arm. “Come on… let’s get out of


    here.”


    Every part of me was screaming the moment Trixie touched me. Begging to leave with her and forget


    all of the troubles I had. Yet, I was scared.


    Scared of what my future would be like and how people would view me because of her.


    “Okay,” I sighed as I let her lead me from the hall. “Where are we going?”


    She smiled, giving a smallugh as we made our way to- wards the front door of the school, and out


    into the evening air. “You’re going to go back to your room. You have had a long day, and thest few


    days haven’t been easy-”


    “My room? Trixie,” I replied softly as she gripped my arm tighter and pulled me forward.


    “No buts about it, sir. You are Mr. Grumpypants right now, and that isn’t safe for anyone.” Her teasing


    remark was cute, and hearing her speak the way she was made me smile.


    Silence filled us with small bits of banter here and there, and I finally found myself feelingfortable


    with a woman for the first time in a long time. She was so different from the other women I had known,


    and honestly, it was refreshing.


    “Can I say something?” I asked her, listening to her chuck- le as she nodded her head.


    “You don’t have to ask if you can ask me something, Lux. Just ask the question.”


    ncing at her, the amused smile that crossed her lips. made a warm rush of feeling pass over me.


    Even in a simple pair of leggings and an oversized shirt I was pretty sure was designer even though it


    looked like it came out of the garbage–she was hot.


    “Right,” I smiled, “well, if you want, you cane up… I’m just going to catch up on some work. Maybe


    you can help me with some of the magic stuff.”


    One may have thought my mind was in the gutter, but it wasn’t. I enjoyed Trixie’spany even though


    she was ener- getic at times and often annoyed others around her. To me, I found itforting to be


    around her.


    Maybe the mate bond pulled me closer to her, or maybe it was just because she was a nice girl and our


    conversations were usually entertaining.


    Taking a moment to consider what I offered her, she smiled, nodding her head with her hands sped


    behind her back. “Sure, I mean, from what I heard, you suck at magic.”


    Laughter escaped me at her words, and though at one point in time I would have been pissed by what


    she said, I wasn’t. She had a point, and in all honesty, my magic was nowhere as strong as my sisters.


    “Well, maybe with your tutoring, I won’t suck.”


    As we walked up the steps to the building Cassie and I stayed in, I carried on the same casual


    conversation I had with her before. From magic spells to summoning objects, she filled me in on


    everything going on and also what I was doing wrong.


    “No, you’re not supposed to do that. You need to take deep breaths before releasing…”


    “Is that right?” I asked her as we stepped into my room. Her mischievous eyes rolled as she shoved me


    a little and be- gan to let her eyes scan my room, taking in every inch of what I had around that gave


    way to who I was.


    “You have so much stuff,” she murmured, letting her fin- gers dance along the photos on the wall and


    the items on my dresser. Since being here, I had been able to get someone un- der Odin to acquire a


    few more things from my home, includ- ing family photos and sentimental items.


    All things Cassie had no idea I had gotten, seeing as she was being a bitch to me.


    “Yeah, I had someone collect some things for me from my house,” I replied, averting my eyes due to


    the guilt slowly forming thinking about Cassie.


    “Your sister doesn’t have any photos or anything,” Trixie murmured as she turned to me. “You had


    these brought re- cently?”


    Confusion caused me to furrow my brows as I tried to un- derstand how it was she knew I had recently


    gotten these things. I hadn’t let anyone know I did simply because it wasn’t their business, but for her to


    know this meant she had been in my room before. “How would you know?”


    “Because I was the one who decorated it to begin with,” she said as a smirk fell across her lips that


    made my gut twist with anticipation.


    My entire life, I had waited for my mate, and since I had firstid eyes on Trixie, I had avoided taking


    her as mine. avoided letting our rtionship bloom because I wante something unattainable.


    Something fate didn’t mean for m to have. That guilt alone ate at me, but now with her standing before


    me…


    I didn’t want to hold back. I didn’t want to waste any more time with her.


    Rushing forward, I let my hands grab the side of her face as I crashed my lips against hers. Her soft,


    plump lips moved against mine as our tongues battled for control–the taste of her driving my wolf crazy


    as I sought to have more.

    Walking her backward until the backs of her thighs hit the bed, she fell, panting as she looked up at me,


    her hands help- ing her crawl backward a bit until I came down over her. My body hovered over hers as


    I took in every inch of her face.


    “I want you,” I whispered, watching a smile cross her lips I had been worried about seeing. Part of me


    thought in the end, she might be disgusted about being my mate, but look- ing at her now, I knew that


    she wasn’t.


    “I wondered how long it would take for you to ept me,” she whispered as her hands reached up to


    the sides of my face, slowly pulling it down towards her own. “Let’s not wait anymore.”


    Letting my lips gently press against hers, our tongues danced in a gentle motion, my hands running up


    and down her body as I relished in the moment with her. The moment I had waited my entire life for.


    The moment I would be with my mate and im her as mine forever.


    Piece by piece, our clothing was stripped from our bodies and fell to the floor. Our limbs weaved


    together in a battle for dominance as I made her moan over and over again. Her back arched as her


    perky round breasts bounced with every thrust I made inside her.


    She had epted me, and as I allowed the knot in my cock to form, locking us in ce, I pulled her up


    closer to my body, impaling her harder and harder until she was crying in pain, begging for her release.


    With a scream of ecstasy and a roar of pleasure from my throat, I sunk my teeth deep into her neck


    and marked her as my own.


    A pixie for an Alpha and a mate for a lifetime.
