Doubting it all

A few hours later he was in his Office at Velia Castle pacing back and forth. He passes his hands through his sleek black hair unconsciously a few times. Now he is even more troubled than ever.

Deep concern etched all over his face.

What if he was really about to meet his mate? You know the one he was destined to be with, the one that the prophesy spoke about thousands of years ago.

Dr. Kanhai had returned with results stating a clean bill of health, so was it finally happening?

Was he ready to receive her? Accept her? Was he ready to allow himself to love?

No.

Never!

He had a duty to protect and keep her safe and that is all he can give her right now.

The only reason the Demon Alpha is even entertaining the idea of his mate is because what happened at Delilah's was cause for greater concerns.

Though he tried so hard to find another reason, because the possibility of him feeling this way because he was about to meet his mate just seem so preposterous.

But he was actually considering it now.

From the moment he strode into Delilah looking all mouthwatering and dashing as so many of them thought and he knew it. They were all ready and willing to pounce on him.

From patrons to employees, they all ogled him.

He can smell their arousal in the air, mixed in with alcohol, smoke, perspiration and let's not forget some bad breathe.

The scent of a club.

For now the Demon Alpha wanted to handle business first even though he was feeling a type away and had something to prove. He was smug and satisfied with the reaction he'd gotten but for some reason he felt uninterested.

Not even a little bit excited about the possibilities of a twosome, hell a foursome!

Nothing....

So after he got through with the handling of business he quickly hit the bar and in no time a beautiful blonde was eating out of the palm of his hand, hanging on to his every word as he wooed her.

They easily slipped into a private room upstairs. It was one of the rooms made for high rollers.

There were no beds of course but it was a lounge and it was obviously outfitted with a comfy relaxing couch where one can easily have tons of sex.

But he was not getting a hard on. Not one.

Then suddenly the Demon Alpha had a thought.

Hell maybe he was no longer attracted to blondes.

Sadie is a blonde and so is this beauty.

Feeling rejected the beautiful lady storms out of the room and with his luck a sexy brunette employee strolls in in her mini skirt and fitted bodice not too long after.

Maybe in an attempt to check the room who knew, who cared.

His eye snapped to hers and she immediately stills but a rush of excitement and adrenaline was flowing through her. He simply rose to his feet and strolled towards her almost intimidatingly.

Then he towered over her.

She leans in and inhales his scent, his bold musky cologne and wet her panties. She drooled, this was the ever so handsome, ever so hot, ever so powerful Demon Alpha.

The poor girl could not control herself as she never imagined in her entire life that she would be in THIS situation. But this was just like so many of them.

The Demon Alpha knew he had her, however for him nothing happened when he grabbed her and kissed her roughly while grabbing and squeezing at her boobs. His hands then traveled down to grab and squeeze her ample butt.

Then she moans in the kiss, "oh my goddess, this was actually happening?" She was breathless she kisses him back desperately like her life depended on him and she reaches and touches his chest, resting her palms on him and he pushes her away.

Again all this was just pure torture 'trying', his stomach churns at that kiss, at the feel of her he felt sick. He thought he had had enough and it was just like that with the blonde before and then after those two was a sexy vixen.

Jet black hair, stormy grey eyes, small nose, beautifully shaped eyebrows, pale skin but again the results was no different, he couldn't stomach it anymore he had ended it abruptly.

Knock, Knock.

"Come in" the Demon Alpha calls shaken out of his nightmare!

Dracul steps in, looking tired as fuvk, his blonde hair frazzled. He did not go back to bed, instead he went and did all his research gathering pertinent information. Then he just showered and changed into some clean clothes. A black jeans, black jersey and black square tip.

Now we will pick up where it's present day and time - The Velia Castle, while Michael is on his way to speak with the Demon Alpha and update him on Diviya and her arrival....

"I don't know why you didn't just go for yourself and find out for sure, look at you, would you stop pacing." Dracul was trying to calm his buddy and speak reason.

He was casually lounging on one of the couches in the Demon Alpha's office. Since he'd gotten here about an hour ago he has witnessed Adonis pace this office about fifty times.

After Adonis filled Dracul in on what was going on with him—Sadie, the Doctor's visit, Delilah's and the theory about his mate.

Dracul deduced it was all driving him crazy.

Adonis would sit on the one seater, he would lean back and get comfy, relax.

Then he would rub his face with his hands, long pause deep in thought. Then he would stretch his hand, stretch out his legs and the pause again.

He might mumble something, then relax again in quiet silence, then rubs his hands on his legs, long pause.

Then he would get up and stroll to the liquor cabinet, pour himself a drink, stroll some more while he swirls the glass in his hands, swipe his hands through his hair, sips the drink and repeat the process all over again when his drink is finished.

Let's not forget the long pauses in between deep in thought.

Nevertheless Dracul knew his buddy was not ok and was trying to reason with him a bit.

"No way would I have, honestly it was just an uneasiness nothing concrete." Adonis pause for a moment then almost sag.

"I am uneasy, something isn't right I can't quite put my finger on it. But my wolf and demon is both in agreement. It could be her, and for some reason at this moment they are agitated beyond measure".

Something is bugging us.

He should have listen to his earlier suspicions about the time frame of his uneasiness, because in the end it really seems to have something to do with that girl who is probably almost here.

But in all honesty he knew he probably would have done all the same things—doubting it all.

"They have been antsy since that FBI agent called and Carlton came to us with the news" he says to Dracul and now the Demon Alpha was also nervous, his human.

This particular feeling was so foreign to them it took him a long time to realize he was nervous.

Then Dracul finally spoke, "yes and that is why you should have gone for yourself, you said it yourself you felt it." Dacul then scoffs and continues "but instead you went and fvcked Sadie, sure as hell was not uneasy then."

Dracul didn't like the idea of him sleeping around knowing his mate was out there, especially at a time like this when chances are she was right around the corner.

Or maybe he was old fashioned, Or maybe it was because Dracul himself would give anything to have a mate but for him that was just impossible.

What ever the reason, as far as Dracul was concerned with this whole situation, he was team mate.

"I said NO." Adonis roared viciously, feeling an overwhelming amount of guilt creepily crawling up his body slowly taking over.

Not fazed by the outburst Dracul informs him that he flew over them a while back and she should be settled by now.

Then he went on to tease, "is the big bad Demon Alpha afraid to find out?"

He was, Adonis knew he was afraid, he was so afraid that this was finally happening. After living for millenniums this was finally happening and he was not ready.

And what was scarier, what if she rejects him, but he will never say that out loud.

Nevertheless the Demon Alpha was fully prepared for her arrival in his way, ever since he heard of the prophesy, only because he wanted a way to ensure she was led to him.

Then he was blessed with the how and he did the best he could. Every decision he made after, was to ensure that she very well was led to him and now he was having too much mixed feelings and then confusion had set in.

But it all boils down to the fact that he just was not ready.

And he still is NOT ready.
