Hated By The Alpha-Chapter 92: End Of Mating Season.

Alex was standing behind a tree, hiding quietly, but he knew it was fruitless. No one could hide from any werewolf tonight, especially not when you’re that werewolf’s mate.

"No, no, no, this can’t be right," Alex whispered anxiously as he felt the scent getting nearer and nearer.

The moment the moon turned full, a strong musky scent hit his nose; he instantly ran in the direction of the scent, but when he found the big brown wolf that owned the tantalizing musky scent; he suddenly shifted to human form and quickly ran to hide away from the wolf.

But it was too late because the wolf had already scented him and was now tailing his tracks.

Alex closed his eyes as he felt the presence of someone behind the tree he was hiding, wishing a miracle would happen and he’d be somehow missed by his seeker.

"Open your eyes, Cub," Andrew’s voice sounded right beside his ear, sending tingles from his ears down to his toes.

He slowly opened his eyes and found Andrew’s brown eyes staring into his soul with an intensity he’d never seen in them before.

Alex slowly looked down between their bodies and shockingly realized that they were both naked and so close to each other.

"You can touch it, it’s yours..." Andrew whispered beside his face when he caught his staring at his cock.

Alex reeled back when he heard what Andrew had said. He frowned and looked up at Andrew’s handsome face.

"Step away from me, beta. We can sort this out like adults," Alex said, trying his best to sound normal, even though his junior member was anything but calm.

"It’s Andrew to you from now on, sweetheart. And... you’re right, we’re going to sort this out like Adults," Andrew slowly snaked his hand around Alex’s waist, smirking when he heard him draw a sharp breath in.

Alex was about to try pushing Andrew away when Andrew willingly stepped away from him. He watched him with curiosity as he walked behind the opposite tree and came back almost immediately holding two shorts in his hands.

"Put this on, and come with me," Andrew said in a serious tone and threw a short at Alex.

Alex caught it but angrily threw it to the floor, "I’d rather walk back like this-"

"Impossible!" Andrew growled, his eyes darkening.

Alex grunted as he felt his back roughly hit the bark of the tree.

He looked up to see Andrew’s angry face, his wolf already on the brink of surfacing.

"Just-"

"Quiet! Cub!" Andrew warned lowly.

"You’re mine, Cub. And I don’t like what belongs to me get seen by others," Andrew put his hand around Alex’s waist and lowered it down to his ass, staring him right in the eyes.

Alex gasped, shocked and aroused. His wolf was howling in approval inside his head, but he still couldn’t bring himself to fathom the fact that his beta was now his mate... a man, too.

"Now, be a good boy and obey," Andrew said and picked up the short from the floor, handing it to him.

"What do you want from me?" Alex asked as reluctantly entered Andrew’s room.

The door shut behind him, and his heart immediately picked up speed.

"I’m trying to sort this out like an adult, Sweetheart," Andrew came up behind him and suddenly pulled his shorts down from his waist.

Alex froze, his body feeling like someone had set a bonfire with him. He thought he would be able to resist Andrew’s advances, but at that moment, he was so horny and dripping that he was ready to beg Andrew to fuck him if he dared change his mind.

He knew he couldn’t blame all this on the full moon, he knew most of these growing feelings were all from him.

He felt Andrew throw his shorts in a distance, and in the next second, he felt Andrew’s warm body plaster behind his. He jerked from the sensation he got from Andrew’s cock pressing against his smooth firm ass.

"Bed, Cub," Andrew ordered in a sexy voice.

And with no words of resistance, Alex complied.

That night, they experienced the pleasure they’d never felt before. Their bodies joined as one under the full moon, each finding absolute solace and fulfillment as they marked each other, staking their full claim to one another.

Alpha Lake and Audrey lay on the soft grass with Audrey on his chest, his arms secured around her waist as if he were afraid she’d disappear if he let her go.

"Audrey or Catherine?" Alpha Lake asked quietly.

"Huh?" Audrey asked unintelligibly as she’d been drawn out of her wonderland.

She was still swooning over the fact that she finally got laid, after so long. The wolf in her was still feeling the aftermath of the strong orgasm and wasn’t ready to discuss any real-life matters at the moment.

"What do you want me to call you?" Alpha Lake asked, running his fingers along her back.

Audrey closed her eyes to the feeling of his warm fingers running up and down the middle of her back.

"Stop that," Audrey softly giggled, moving her shoulder to get his hand off her back.

Alpha Lake didn’t realize that there was a content smile adorning his face as he stared at Audrey in his arms.

"You’re smiling," Audrey said, caressing his cheeks with her fingers.

Alpha Lake smirked, "I am."

"I’ve found the most important person in my life," He said, gently grabbing her soft behind.

"Who’s that?" Audrey asked, squeezing her legs together as he kneaded her ass.

"You, Audrey," He whispered huskily, kissing the crook of her neck.

"Hey, stop it, we just did it," Audrey blushed, feeling her clit twitching anew.

"You have no idea how hard it is for me to keep from sinking my teeth into your soft skin, Kitten," He drew a long, slow, and sensual lick from the juncture between her cheek down to her tattoo, exactly where he would sink his teeth to mark her.

’Mark me?’ Audrey suddenly realized the situation.

She almost got herself marked by the Alpha who hated her. No, not gonna happen.

"Um, I think we should go back," Audrey slowly removed herself from the top of him.

He felt empty with Audrey no longer in his arms.

Alpha Lake felt the change in her mood and he had an idea of why it was so.

He had mentioned marking her when they hadn’t even cleared the heavy air between them.

He sighed and got himself off the floor, and slowly followed her.

This time, he really took in his surroundings, and he confirmed without hesitation that this was the same place he had seen in his vision the other day.

He slowly turned around, looking for Audrey when he suddenly couldn’t find her.

He walked farther in search of her but was surprised to find an elegant white statue standing in the beautifully enchanting grotto.

The statue’s eyes seemed like they were purposely holding his gaze to see his reaction. He knew without saying that this place was formed and guarded by magic. If not, how could he explain the sudden appearance of a garden in the middle of his forest?

"You’re not entirely wrong, Mikhail," The statue spoke in a calm tone.

"Audrey?" Alpha Lake turned his head from left to right in search of Audrey, he was sure the voice he’d just heard belonged to her.

But he still couldn’t find her, and he couldn’t help but wonder, who was Mikhail?

"It’s you," The statue replied, giggling.

This left Alpha Lake very worried and confused.

Him?

And why was Audrey giggling mischievously? It was time she quit playing, he needed to ask her some serious questions.

"You weren’t this dumb before..." The statue sighed.

Before Alpha Lake could turn his head in the direction of the voice, two thick vines suddenly fell from the tree beside the grotto and wrapped themselves around his wrist, dragging him toward the statue.

Alpha Lake was shocked by everything that was happening, but he didn’t make a sound; he quietly let the vine take him to the statue.

He finally came to a stop directly in front of the statue, staring surprisingly at the striking resemblance of the statue to Audrey.

He wondered the story behind this garden.

"Hi, I’m Catherine, the one who’s been talking to you and the one who sent you those visions, too," This time, he clearly heard the voice coming from within the statue.

"Catherine?" He asked, frowning.

He was starting to get confused again; he thought Catherine was just a name Audrey was using as a cover-up; how was this statue’s name Catherine, too?

He tried to step away from the statue, but he realized that he couldn’t move his body; he felt an unseen force holding him in place.

"I’m really mad at you, Mikhail. The way you’ve treated us was very unkind for someone who begged the moon goddess to return his mate to him, and when she did, you treated her like trash, unforgivable!" The statue’s voice boomed angrily all over the garden.

Alpha Lake suddenly doubled over in pain as, once again, those visions started pouring into his head, but this time, it wasn’t scattered like the last time; it was more serialized this time.

He saw the first time he had met Catherine, how they wedded, how they were so in love with each other, how he got the message that she wanted him to meet her in this same garden, how heartbroken he felt when he saw her with another man, how he discovered it was a setup, and lastly, how he wanted to kill the imposter but ended up killing Catherine as she came and stood protectively the front of the familiar woman and how the familiar amulet had broken in half and fallen into the water.

"Argh!!!" He screamed painfully, he felt as if his body was reliving the pain he felt when he drove the knife into Catherine’s heart. He saw how he had cradled a dying Catherine in his arms as she took her last breath and how he had looked up at the sky that night and begged the moon goddess to return his mate to him even if it was in another lifetime; he would be waiting for her.

"Release him, Catherine," Audrey’s voice sounded behind him, and immediately, he stumbled over but caught his footing, the pain and visions stopping instantly at Audrey’s voice.
