Chapter 30
The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply
Xavierâs pov
Rodrigo followed behind me When the door is softly closed behind him I turn to peer into the small glass window that showed inside the room Pleased that Aurora listened to me, I fixed my gaze on Rodrigo
Heâs been one of the best doctors here for years now,recruited by my father years ago He was also a good friend to my father. A close family friend. Which meant I could trust him.
After my father was murdered they all witnessed the unleashing of my beast Reckon From that day onward, everyone feared me, including him. There was no one to tame my beast before But now, now there was.
c Was nod
Was
And from Rodrigoâs expression, he had figured it out. He was always a smart man, maybe too smart for his own good
You know about her,â I murmured, quickly peeking at Aurora through the glass. Our eyes connected and I could see the soft feathering of blush on her checks at being caught looking
She quickly looks away and I fight the urge to grin.
âI want her âReckon demanded like a horny wolf. I sighed moving my eyes off of her before Reckon has his way. I would b e lying if I didnât say I was also starving for her.
I know what she is to you Alpha. But I donât know what kind of creature she is,â Rodrigo admitted seeming to be cautious to admit it to me.
âAnd what is she to me Rodrigo?â I asked stiffly as I cross my arms over my chest
I needed to tread across those waters carefully.
He looked nervous, sweat coating his skin like another layer. I was making the poor older man squirm under my stare.
He cleared his throat more than twice, seeming to gather the courage to speak up. You must know it is absolutely rare for a wolf to be mated to a creature not of their own kind? (1)
He really was a smart man. Trying to work around the answer to not anger me I had to give him props.
Thummed, leaning my shoulder against the wall.âI didnât know of such a thing. This is the first time Iâm hearing of itâ. lied, fixing my gaze on him.
He gulps, glances at Aurora through the glass and speaks. â Alpha Xavier, you know Iâve been a family friend for years. I would never do or say anything to upset you. But your father wouldâve liked me to keep an out for you and that means to protect you from any inconveniences.â 1
Iarch a brow, silently telling him to go on even though I had an inkling of where this conversation was heading.
âThe girl in there is your mate. And even a blind person would know sheâs not of werewolf genes. In fact, her features are so rare that I have never seen anything like her before. Alphaâ¦.
He gulps, looking up at me cautiously and slightly frightened. âOur people will not accept her.â
I stiffen.
His words were harmless but Reckon thought otherwise. Noticing my change of mood, he quickly speaks. âImean no harm by saying this Alpha I just wanted to warn you before you⦠inform them of this.â
I looked down at Rodrigo, anger coursing through me. Reckon wanted him dead. I did not. He was of good use to me and would be of good use now and in the future.
So forcing Reckon down with as much power as I could muster, I answered hoarsely. âI never said I would accept her as my mate or inform our people of her being my fated one.â
For some odd reason, my tongue felt heavy after saying those words. And regret soon followed after.
The feeling was so rare it shocked me enough to have me stop speaking for a couple of seconds.
âYes we will!â Reckon roared getting angry again.
Conflicted by my emotions, I gronned âRodngo, you should not tell or speak of what you know to anyone keep this information to yourself Have I made myself clear?â
1 wasnât ready for anyone to find out about her being my mate
Rodrigo nodded quickly, stammering a response âYes Alpha!
I hummcd looking down at the older man
He was a smart man and knew a lot about the history of wolves and other creatures. Perhaps he knew something about Aurora Or know how to get the needed information to figure out what she was and how it was possible for her to be my male. 1
*Rodrigo,â I called out, looking around to scc if there were other listening cars,
âYes alpha?â
Pleased to see that there werenât any cavesdroppers, I fixed my attention on the older man âYou know my predicament here. Can you tell me anything at all to explain why the girl in the room is bonded to mecven though sheâs not one of us?
Rodrigo looked away from me and peered into the glass to stare at Aurora. He presses his lips together and looks thoughtful
âHave you checked if sheâs made by a witch? Youâve made quite a few enemies Alpha It wouldnât be shocking that youâve made an enemy of a witch. They can be nasty and crave vengeance badly. They would stoop to the lowest if they have to âHe said while looking at Aurora through the glass in blatant curiosity.
âSo you think a witch is capable of creating someone like her?â I question, my cyes drawing to the beautiful creature that was bonded to me.
I had a feeling that this all was wrapped around a witch but a little part of me, a tiny part, wished it wasnât and that she was indeed bonded to me by the moon goddess herself.
Rodrigo nodded, answering all the doubts about a witch potentially being involved in this confusing yet intriguing bond.
âHave you checked if she was? Witches loved to leave their marks on their dolls, In specific places for their specific goal If the girl was made just for you and is bonded to you, the witch is undoubtedly strong.â
Rodrigo said softly. I could see the gears in his head shifting as he tried to piece everything together.
âWhich parts have you checked? Forgive me for intruding but Iâm trying to help.â
âEvery part of her.â I wasnât embarrassed to admit it, in fact my chest puffed out
* Forgive me again but I must ask. Did you so happen to check her
-private region?â
Rodrigo quickly stammers out âSince sheâs made specifically for you to be her mate, perhaps the witch has marked her there specifically. Or under her breasts. Some witchâs marks are faint so it may be difficult to spot them quickly.â
I hummed. Could it be that I had missed it while examining her? Well I was occupied with her glistening cunt and the scent of her arousal. Perhaps I didnât look well enough.
âI will have to examine her again,â I nodded while Reckon couldnât contain his excitement to see her bare again I would b e lying if I said I too wasnât feeling excitement course through me.
âIf you do happen to find that mark, you can bring her to me and Iâll draw some of her blood for testing. If sheâs created by a witch, the witchâs blood would be bonded to her. That way we can find the witch who has done this.â
I nodded stiffly, not liking the idea of him having to draw some blood from her if I do happen to find a mark.
âRemember Rodrigo, this information only stays between the two of us,â I warned before opening the door. âYes alpha,â He mumbles, baring his neck. You can trust me.â
