The challenge two alphas one girl novel Chapter 9

Friday’s POV

The feast passed by uneventfully. I was physically and emotionally exhausted. My room was at the end of the Alpha floor, furthest from the stairs. It was gorgeous, very similar to the room Thaddeus was staying in. The adjacent master bathroom had a h.uge shower that spouted water from all sides and the ceiling. The bathtub was big enough to fit several people. I decided to take a bath, relaxing in the warm water. Saturday was busy inspecting his new territory. I had just gotten out of the bath when I heard a knock on the door of my bedroom. I put on a plush robe I had found and opened the door.

Alpha Maze seemed surprised to see me in nothing but a bathrobe.

“I was in the middle of getting ready for bed, excuse my attire, Alpha Maze,” I said as formally as I could.

He was eyeing the shape of my body under the robe, his grey eyes darkening. He was aroused!

“May I come in?” He said.

I bit my l!p. “Sure, Alpha,” I said, afraid to refuse.

He sat at the table. I sat across from him.

“Unfortunately, tomorrow will be Alpha Thaddeus’ day to spend time with you and the following day will be mine and so on,” explained Alpha Maze. “You had said you had questions for both me and Thaddeus. I assume Thaddeus already got to answer some of your questions. You did have some time together while I was arranging the celebration.”

I blushed, remembering Thaddeus rocking me back and forth on his lap and pressing his l!ps against mine.

“Yes, Alpha,” I said simply.

“Well, ask your questions,” said Alpha Maze.

I was a little frightened but I needed answers.

“Why did you reject me?” I whispered, trying to maintain my composure.

“Because you are wolf-less and I always expected my mate would be a strong she-wolf. I was caught off-guard. You’re not what I expected…” He trailed off.

“That does not mean I was unaffected by you,” he said quickly. “Rejecting you was very painful for me.”

I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I did not think he had cared at all yesterday.

“Really?” I questioned.

“Excruciating,” he confirmed.

“Why did you take back your rejection?” I asked.

“I smelled you with Alpha Thaddeus. You were…aroused and I was worried he was taking advantage of you. Just because I rejected you does not mean I’d stand by and let another alpha make you his plaything.”

I smiled a little. Maze was not a complete monster.

“But, when I came in…I realised…you were far from a plaything to him. He was treating you more warmly than I did,” Maze admitted.

“I felt ashamed and I could not handle letting you go without a fight,” he said.

“What if Thaddeus had never showed up? If I did not have a second chance mate already, would you still be fighting for me?” I asked, my eyes brimming with tears despite my best efforts to remain calm.

Maze took out a handkerchief and wiped some stray tears on my cheeks, one of his first acts of kindness towards me.

“I don’t know,” he whispered. “I don’t know how long I would have stayed away from you but you never left my thoughts. The only way I could continue to resist you was to make sure our paths wouldn’t cross again by banning you from the pack house.”

“Ok,” I said.

He looked at me, waiting patiently.

“Would you have punished me if I came to the pack house to see you after you banned me?” I asked, sniffling.

“I would have been furious at your disobedience on the surface,” Alpha Maze said, his eyes dark, “but, I would have enjoyed looking at you again, smelling your scent. You smell like wildflowers. I’m not sure I would have been able to exact any punishment. You are my punishment. Wanting you but knowing you’re not…the traditional candidate for Luna.”

“That’s it for now, Alpha, thank you,” I said softly.

They had both given me permission to call them by their first names now.
