"Alex," Conner opened the door to Alexa's room, her eyes widened in surprise, Alexa and The Alpha King were snuggled against each other, "OH MY-" She screamed, Reagan looked at her and whispered with his index finger against his lips, "Shh," 

"God!" The last word of hers came as a whisper.

 Her mouth hung open at the sight, Murphy soon came inside with rest of their gang, he too stood there gaping, Tyler closed their mouthing by pressing his hands against their chin. 

He then whistled looking at Reagan who was getting up, gently laying Alexa's head on the pillow.

 'Shut up' He mouthed at them, Kevin, gestured zipping his mouth.

 Lia looked at her brother in surprise. 

"Let her sleep some more," Reagan whispered at them as he led them out of the room, he then turned to Kevin, "I need to talk to you," Kevin nodded following him, rest of them stood outside blinking at one another.

They then entered Conner's room, "I had a hunch something was going on between them," Murphy said as he took the bed. "Yeah, for the past few days they were all awkward and all," Conner nodded.

"Damn, now I can't have a crush on him," she clicked her tongue. 

"Aww, poor you," Lia made a face at her. 

"I knew this would happen, but didn't expect it'd be this soon," Lia sighed, despite all the teasing and stuff, she was happy for her brother. 

"Does that mean she is his mate?" Murphy asked. Lia nodded. 

"The mate thing is real!" Conner clapped excitedly. 

She then turned her gaze to Lia, "Have you find your mate then? Oh wait, Kevin kissed you in front of everyone, Is he your mate? Wow!" She exclaimed.

Lia's lips formed a tight line, "I'd rather not talk about it."

 "Why not? I love it! The concept of soulmates, your one and only," She sighed dreamily.

 "Well, I find it ridiculous, your one and only my foot, you're just forced on each other, no matter how much you hate it you can't help it when you're around them, your stupid mind is thrown out of your brain why? Because of the damn mate bond, it makes you feel attracted to them while you're actually not. You've just tricked nothing else." Lia ranted. 

"Anyway, forget about me and don't tell Alex about the mate thing, she'll throw a fit," Lia sighed.

"Eh, come on, I don't think so," Murphy shook his head. 

"Remember how she used to hate all the supernatural things, she's just beginning to accept us all," Lia replied.

"She used to hate all supernatural stuff but look at her now getting all mushy-mushy with her Alpha King," Conner giggled.

"Anyway, this thing, keep it a secret from Alex," Lia warned them.

"Keep what a secret?" Their head snapped at the door, Alexa frowned at them.

"A-Alex..." Conner stammered.

 "Who is what?" Alexa's face darkened. 

Just then Reagan and Kevin arrived, "What's wrong?" He raised his brows.

 "Alex, listen to me," Reagan ran after her, he held her arm to stop her.

 "Don't you dare!" She shouted swatting his hands away.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

 "What's wrong? You tricked me," She yelled.

 "So what if we're mates? What does that change?" He asked. 

"Everything!" She shouted. "You lied to me!"

 "I just hid it, I know you hated this stuff, if I told you, you'd have just pushed me away without even listening like you're doing now," He tried to reason.

 "Yeah, whatever, at least I wouldn't have fallen for your tricks," She bit her lips, trying to keep her tears at bay.

"Tricks?" He glared at her but his gaze softened seeing her tremble, he sighed, "I love you, Alex," He cupped her cheeks, she got lost in his eyes, "I liked you even before I found out you were my mate," He rubbed his thumb over her cheeks, she closed her eyes, she wanted to believe him, she wanted to trust her feelings for him but she wasn't sure anymore, "I know you like me too, so what if we're mates?"

 "This matters," She opened her eyes and averting her gaze from him, she pushed him away, "This bloody matters! Cause I don't even know what I feel for you are my true feelings or just the mate thing, so it matters to me, Mr. Alpha King. My feelings who knows? you may have used some mate trick of yours on me."

"Now you're insulting me," he growled. 

"Whatever it is, just know that I won't play by your rules anymore, I don't like you so just get lost," She turned her back to him. 

He was hurt by her words, mate tricks, huh? He scoffed.

"Fine, I'm done being a gentleman," His voice was stern, "Now, whatever comes next don't complain about it, for you're the one who provoked me," she turned to face him, "Are you threatening me?" She asked in disbelief, "Nope, I promise you," He closed in the gaps between them, "I'll show you what real seduction is, by the end of it, you'll be in the palm of my hands." Lifting her chin, he peered into her eyes as he promised darkly.

 ***

He sat there sharpening his knife, his body radiated menace, everyone knew their Alpha was mad, he narrowed his eyes at Tyler as he exchanged few words with Alexa, his eyes darkened, "Whoa, you look like you're about to murder someone," Tyler shivered. 

Reagan gave him a dark glare, "Yes and I'm going to start with you," He commented. "What the hell is going on inside that head of yours?" Tyler gulped.

"How to eliminate every male species from earth?" He replied as he glared at every man who smiled at and who dared to smile back at her. "B-but you controlled your jealousy well before," Tyler stammered. 

"Yes, but now that everything's out in open and I promised not to hide anything," he shrugged, his eyes then followed Alexa as she talked to another guy, the guys ran away from her they didn't want to be the one at receiving end of his wrath.

 Tyler backed away as he rose from his seat, "Chill dude, you're scaring me."

 "Oh don't worry, I won't kill anyone yet, I'll just go and show her what happens when you play with fire," He smirked as he made his way to her.

 Tyler tilted his head, "That man, I've never seen him like this except on the battlefield, someone's going to die," He said as he hugged himself.

Just as she was walking, she suddenly felt her wrist grabbed, she shot a glare at the man, "You're coming with me," he pulled her along. 

"Leave me," She shouted, "Reagan!" She yelled but her words fell on deaf ears.

 "Where are you taking me? Reagan! I said let me go!" She tried to yank his hands away but his grip was of steel. 

He pushed her against a wall and caged her between him and the wall, "What the hell you think you're doing?" She hissed.

 Before another word could leave her lips, he silenced it with his own, "Mmm," A moan escaped her lips, she tried to push him away but running his hands, threading her hair he pulled her closer deepening the kiss. He changed the angle further deepening the kiss, his tongue invaded her mouth, he kissed her as he owned her, she clung to him as her knees gave away, breaking apart, he rested his forehead against hers, their breath mingled, she looked into his golden eyes, "You're mine, only mine." He whispered.
