10 Chapter 10: The day the Alpha lost control

Zack's POV

Zack was pacing back and forth his office. It's been three days since he parted from his mate and the absence of news from the witch's side of the territory has been keeping him on an edge. He needed to know how his mate was.

'Wolf needs mate'. A deep voice growled in Zack's head.

It was the wolf inside him. He's been saying the same thing ever since Elize left with the head witch. He was getting restless.

"Is something bothering you bro?" Alex asked from the corner of the room, dragging Zack back from the voice of his wolf.

Zack looked at his best friend who was sitting by the window with a book in his hand. Alex seemed to be adjusting well to his new surroundings. He had learned to control his wolf to a great extent since his sister's departure. His wolf seemed to be quite stronger than what's usually expected from strays. Zack still needed to ask him about who his parents were.

"Zack?" Alex prodded.

Zack stopped next to his table and poured himself a glass of water before answering him.

"Oh its nothing." He tried to play it cool.

"You sure?"

"Yeah man. By the way did you hear from the witches?" Zack kept a straight face while asking the question.

"Oh ahh yeah. Aileen sent me a fire message a while ago saying that Elize woke up." Alex replied, going back to his book.

Relief washed over his features. Thankfully Alex's gaze was fixed on the book. The wolf inside him was getting restless, more now since he's heard the news of her waking up. It was dying to see its mate.

"Hmm that's good for her." Zack murmured.

The door to the office opened and Brandt came in running. He reached for the water beaker on the table. In less than two minutes he chugged down the whole of its contents and threw it outside the window.

"You better have an explanation brat." Zack said as he went and sat on his chair.

Brandt was still panting. He raised his hands up in surrender and calmed himself.

Zack rolled his eyes. The kid always acted like that with him. For Brandt, Zack was like his own older brother. And since he was the Beta's son, he was bound to take his father's position as soon as he shifted. But for now, he was just that- a spoiled kid, very much spoiled by everyone in the pack.

"Okay" Brant said calming down "I ran all the way here to tell you that my father is home and he brought news with him."

Zack tensed.

"Spill."

"Umm so your grandfather Alpha Li is coming to the Island in a week's time." Brandt said

"What?!" Zack was taken aback by the news.

"Yeah. Dad asked me to inform you. Apparently the old man wants to renew the peace pact."

Zack's face crunched with worry. This was bad news, especially now when the witches agreed on a truce with the wolves on the Island.

"Is that bad news? Why do you look so worried?" Alex asked, coming up behind Brandt.

Zack stood up from his chair and started pacing again.

"You have no clue bro." Brandt said, turning to Alex

"Why?"

"Because my grandfather is bad news and this is really bad timing." Zack said in the middle of pacing.

"How so?" Alex prodded.

Zack stopped and looked at his friend. "Ten years ago, my father Alpha Jebediah stopped a riot between witches and werewolves on the Island because of my grandfather's greed to annex the Island to his own share of territory. On that day, a truce was signed between my father and my mother's father, separating the larger werewolf empire of my grandfather Li and the Island. The Island was then declared to be a safe haven to both witches and werewolves, protected by magic and accessible only by an invitation."

"Ohh." Alex remarked.

"Yeah. Alpha Li is like the ultimate villain. But nonetheless Zack is his favorite grandchild." Brandt explained, pointing at Zack.

"Oh so that's good news right? Your grandpa just wants to meet his grandchild." Alex asked, looking at Zack.

"You don't understand Alex. Grandpa Li is one of the world's most powerful Alphas. He has the entire Eurasian werewolf territory under him. This man might be my grandfather but he is nothing like me. He is cold, ruthless and hates witches. And he never visits anyone without a reason."

"Ohh." Alex said as he now started pacing the room.

Zack walked up to his friend and held him by his shoulders.

"Don't worry man. As long as I'm alive the witches will be safe, so will be your sister." He said

Alex nodded at his friend with a smile.

Zack's heart sank at the trust his friend placed in him. He wondered if Alex would feel the same towards him after knowing that Elize was his mate.

"Umm hate to break up the romance but Nina was looking for you too." Brandt said poking Zack on his side.

Zack growled a warning at the touch. "You better learn to respect your Alpha boy."

Brandt looked scared for a moment, but he quickly masked it and poked his tongue out at Zack before running outside the room.

Alex shook his head. "Kids" They both said at the same time and laughed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zack opened the thick wooden doors and entered Nina's room. He knew why she called him and he needed it too if he wanted to control his wolf's pull for his mate.

"I'm in here!" Nina shouted from inside the bathroom.

Zack turned around and locked the door. He proceeded to the large queen sized bed and started removing his clothes one by one.

'She's not mate. Wolf wants mate.' Zack heard his wolf warning him.

It seemed to be irritated at his actions.

'Yeah well she's not our mate anymore. We rejected her remember?' Zack tried reasoning with his wolf. It's been restless ever since Elize surfaced on the Island.

'Mate didn't reject us. Wolf go to mate.'

The wolf was clearly adamant.

In a way it was right. Elize was still his mate as she didn't reject him. The bond still stood valid. But Zack could not allow himself to be with her. She was his best friend's little sister. Not that the wolf understood any of that.

Zack tossed his underwear onto the bed along with the rest of his clothes and proceeded to the bathroom. He could hear the jacuzzi's buzz from the doorway along with the murmur of a few people.

He smirked at the reflection of his naked body as he passed a full sized mirror. He knew that he was quite appealing to women- after all, he had the body of an Alpha and the face of an angel.

"Well aren't you all quite a feast?" Zack said as he squeezed in between the three women inside the big tub.

The girls giggled and started caressing him. He relaxed, letting himself be taken care of by the hands and mouths of the eager women.

"I hope you like what I've prepared for you" Nina whispered to his ears, sitting on top of him.

Zack looked into her eyes and then her lips as he nodded. His gaze traveled down to her perfectly round breasts, all wet and straining against his chest. He moaned as her hands traveled down to his member. The two other girls were nipping at his ears and neck.

Zack wanted to let go of himself and enjoy the perfect moment.

'NOT MATE!' His wolf thundered inside his head.

"Calm down you little dog. Enjoy yourself while you get the chance." Zack muttered under his breath.

Pleasure was building up inside his body as his member pulsed against Nina's inner thighs. She rubbed herself against him, slowly sliding him inside her.

Zack moaned as he gripped his hands tightly on the edge of the tub.

The moment didn't last long.

All of a sudden, Zack felt his claws elongate. His wolf was trying to come out.

Zack screamed, unable to control his wolf for the first time.

"Ooohh! Alpha's getting excited!" Cooed the other two girls.

Zack's bones started breaking and twisting.

"Girls. I don't think it's his desire acting up. We need to get out of here." Nina said as she realized what was happening in front of her.

Nina was the first to get up from the tub. She dragged the other two girls out and shoved them out to the bedroom and bolted the door to her bathroom.

Zack let out a scream which turned into a howl before he blacked out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A faint smile played on Zack's sleeping face. He was having the best dream of his life.

Sparks erupted from his abdomen as something moved on it, tracing the outline of his abs. He breathed in the wonderful smell of forest and honey emanating from his side.

'Mate smells wonderful.' His wolf purred inside him.

"Mmmm" Zack moaned in agreement.

His mate smelled amazing, and he wanted to hold Elize close. After all, this was a dream. Alex wouldn't know.

There was a hiss and the fire on his stomach suddenly disappeared.The wonderful smell shifted away a bit as he felt the bed's surface being disturbed.

He wanted to open his eyes and see what it was about but didn't, since he wanted the dream to continue. He felt something wet on the side of his mouth and he wiped it without opening his eyes.

Suddenly the fire started again, this time on the left side of his face.He could feel warm air fanning his face.

'Mate is touching us!' His wolf purred again.

Zack loved this dream. He decided to take a chance and open his eyes. Maybe this was a dream within a dream.

He half opened his eyes and saw her beautiful face inches from his own. Her eyes were the most beautiful color of gray that he ever saw in his life. Her long lashes battered nervously at him. He looked down at her full lips which were tinted a shade of light pink.

It parted, only to speak his name "Zack I-"

Her voice was music to his ears. More than ever, he wanted to hold her close and so he pulled her towards him, to feel her on his chest as he wrapped his hands around her lithe body.

Elize seemed to be struggling in his arms. But he didn't want to let her go.

"Uhh hello?" her sweet voice sounded again.

He could lie down like this all day long.

"Shhh...Don't say anything." Zack said, now smiling with his eyes closed. "You smell nice."

Suddenly he felt little slaps on his arms.

"But can you just loosen your grip? It's difficult to breathe." The musical voice was a bit strained now.

What was happening? It is not supposed to hurt in a dream. Unless....

Zack's eyes flew open at the realization. He quickly shoved Elize away and sat up on the bed.

"Hey!Handle with care!" Elize complained, irritation clearly written all over her face.

Zack felt anxious all of a sudden. "Please tell me its a dream." He pleaded.

"Umm sure. But nice view." She said, pointing towards him.

That's when he noticed it. He was butt naked except for the white sheet that now covered his private part. Zack looked down at himself and looked back at his friend's little sister in utter shock.

"No! What did I do?!" Zack exclaimed.

He quickly wrapped the blanket around his waist and stood up from the bed. This can't be happening. Why is he in her room naked? All he remembered was being in the jaccuzi with the girls and all of a sudden he blacked out-

"Shit!" Zack cursed under his breath.

He looked at Elize, who was now staring at him with a look of curiosity. He had to ask.

"Ummm Elize?" Zack asked, walking towards her.

A strange urge pulled him towards where she sat on the bed. He didn't understand why his feelings towards her were suddenly so strong.

"Mmm?" Elize was eyeing him up and down. She was biting her lips and making it wet with her tongue with every step he took towards her.

He was so close to her that her scent was driving him mad. He needed to touch her. He needed to kiss those perfectly wet lips that she was now biting. He wanted to bite it.

Elize stood up from the bed, walking towards him, her hips swaying ever so slightly at the movement.

Zack couldn't keep his eyes from wandering over her body. His gaze traveled up at her full breasts straining under her t-shirt which had a long tear running through its middle, exposing her cleavage. He looked at her perfectly projected collarbone and imagined how good it would feel to run his tongue along it. His mark just beneath her collarbo-

Zack shook his head and looked at the spot again.

A perfectly healed bite impression, exactly the size of his canines.

She wore his bite mark!

Zack's eyes widened in shock. He stopped dead in his tracks.

"No no no! I bit you!" Zack shouted pointing at Elize.

"Shh!!! Keep it down." Elize whispered as she covered his mouth with her right hand.

Zack's body tensed at the touch. Her hands on him was driving him mad. He had the urge to slam her on the bed and take her then and there.

*THUD THUD THUD*

Somebody was banging at the front door of the mansion. Elize slowly removed her hand from his mouth and motioned him to keep quiet and stay in the room. Zack nodded.

He watched her as she went outside the room and leaned on the the wrought iron railing. She shouted "Who is it?"

"It's Aileen honey! I brought you breakfast!"

Both Elize and Zack looked at each other shocked.

They were screwed!
