The Alpha Of The Shadow Pack And His Mute Luna (by Beatrice Putnam) novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Alfreds POV

I finished my food in very little time. I was very hungry and could have eaten more. But I was trying to be polite. I knew she was not used to eating a lot of food. She has eaten more since being here than she has eaten her whole life. I felt bad for her. Most of the females in my pack. Once they hit puberty, I made sure that their parents put them on a high–protein diet so they could gain weight and muscle. They are the ones that brought in the next generation of wolves. They needed all those calories to carry the pups and have a safe and healthy pregnancy.

Vanessa was beautiful. But I was not happy with the way she was treated. She was nothing skin and bones, which I mean figuratively, not metaphorically. She was eating more and more. I made sure that all her food was high in fat and balanced. I knew the doctor was coming that evening. I enjoyed watching her eat her food, and at first, I was concerned that she wouldn’t like it, but after reassuring me that she did, I was happy. We had just finished our dinner when there was a knock on the door. It was the doctor. He came in.

He checked Vanessa and said in a few more days, she would be healed. He then decided to do a complete check–up on her. He drew some blood. How he was able to get any blood from her was beyond me. I didn’t think she had that much blood in her little body. But he took three vials of blood from her. He then finished his examination. He then weighed her. The scale read sixty–five pounds. My mouth dropped open. How the hell could she only weigh sixty–five pounds? That made my blood boil. I smiled at her, and then the doctor and I left the room.

и

What the hell do you mean? She only weighs sixty–five pounds.”

What the fuck did they feed her?”

I was firing off question after question. I was yelling because I was furious. He told me she weighed the same the last time he weighed her. That was when she was five years old. That infuriated me even more. I was not pleased. I had enough of the conversation. I wanted to be with her and enjoy her company. When I returned to the room, she was no longer sitting on the couch. I could not find her at first. Then I saw her toes. She was hiding between the couch and the wall. She was small enough to squeeze in between

them.

I sat down on the floor and talked to her, and then I suggested that we get ready for bed. We had a long day tomorrow. We had trials in the morning. I wanted us to get some rest. She got dressed in the closet. I have seen her naked. But I think after finding out about her weight, she was self–conscious about it. It was not her fault that she only weighed that much. I knew if she had been given the proper food, she would have the proper weight.

When she came out of the closet, she looked stunning. She had chosen to wear the warm nightgown I had chosen for her to bed. I still need to remind myself that she was afraid of many things. When I am yelling, I will ensure she is nowhere within earshot. I’m trying to get her where she is not always afraid. She was scared a lot. No doubt from what she has been through. We were lying in bed when I noticed she started to move around a lot. I knew exactly why. She was getting turned on. That was because of the mate bond and her need for relief.

I was having the same issue. But I am older than her and have more experience in that department. She is still a virgin. Her touching me and being so close to me was driving me crazy. I told her how she turned me on. I started to kiss her and fondle her breasts. I was applying enough pressure for her to feel it but not enough to hurt her. She reached down and started to stroke my cock through my shorts. I did not have any underwear on. I wanted her to reach into my shorts so I could feel her hand around them instead of the material of the shorts. But I will settle for what she is doing now.

I pulled her nightgown up slightly so I could play with her pussy. I would start by rubbing her clit through her panties. Then, I would put my hand in her panties when I thought the time was right. We were hot and heavy into the make–out session when a knock was on the door. I cursed under my breath. I yelled out who it was, and it was Chris. He said that the rogues were attacking. I was thoroughly agitated at this point, and I was hornier than hell. So she was. You could smell it on her.

I again cursed under my breath, then sat up and waited a few moments before I left bed. I needed my boner to go down before I walked out of the room. It finally went down, and I kissed her. I had no idea how long this would take, and I knew she would probably be asleep before I got back. On the way out of the house, I told TJ to stand guard outside the bedroom door and listen for anything unusual. I knew she could not scream, but if there were a commotion inside the room, he would hear it and be ready to protect her.

I was very unhappy that the fucking rogues decided to attack right then. They could have at least waited until I made love to her. Then, they could have attacked. It was already

late, and we had an early day tomorrow. That meant that I would be getting very little sleep. But that is the life of an alpha. If anybody else had been in my bed, I would have been OK with the interruption. I did not care when I got interrupted during that activity with other she–wolves I had slept with. But with her, it was different. I hated being away

from her to tend to the other things I needed.

I left the house and shifted into Leon. Chris’s wolf Bash had a rogue cornered. You could

tell he was the leader. I walked over to him and shifted back to human form.

What the hell are you doing on my territory.”

You have your boundaries.”

The alpha of the Swamplands is missing.”

He owes us payment.”

Vanessa’s father owes them payment. Payment for what?

“1

Payment for what.”

“He owes me a bride. I will collect it. I was told you were holding him hostage.”
