Alpha's Little Vampire Mate
Chapter 98

Marcus's POV:

"Explain yourself," she had said.

Now I had been given an opportunity to explain myself, I didn't know how to say what I wanted to. Earlier, I had not been able to tell her where I was last night, because I knew I wouldn't have be able to tell her about going to the hospital, without me telling her about Alpha Samantha.

And with how angry she looked, it was not so hard to guess that maybe that stupid Cara, had delayed on purpose so Chloe was going to get back here and see her. Even when she had made a good decision, she just couldn't help being her usual self by stirring up some sort of trouble!

I held my wife's hand, leading her over to the bed and helping her sit. I had made a choice to tell her the whole truth and that I will! I recounted what had happened, telling her all about last night and also not skipping the part about Alpha Samantha.

About two hours ago: I had just stirred awake, my eyes fluttered open to see Chloe's side of the bed, empty. I shifted unto my back, staring up at the ceiling as I tried to focus my mind on the real world and not the erotic dream I had just had. Chloe had been mad at me and I suspected she still was, as she might have gone down for lunch without me. Or probably left the house to wander off somewhere away from me or maybe I was just over thinking? She was probably taking a stroll in the woods!

Yeah, that...

I sighed, burying my face deeper into the pillow. I don't know if I had started dozing off again, but then, I was suddenly awoken by a noise from outside. I strained my ears to listen to whatever was going on. "Let me in!"

I rolled my eyes, a groan escaping my lips. I would always recognize that voice from anywhere, even when I just woke up from sleep. Cara, what was that trouble maker doing here by this time of the day? "Do you know who I am? Marcus always let's me in here, I'm not a stranger!"

I got out of bed, went into the closet and put on some shorts over my boxers and a t-shirt, before heading out of the room. I descended the stairs lazily, then strode over to the front door. I asked the guards to let go of her and she came into the house, a smug look plastered on her face.

"Take that you low life idiots," she hissed, being her usual sassy self. She huffed, crossing her hands over her chest as she waited expectantly for me to tell at them.

I dismissed them, letting her further in with a gesture of my hand. She beamed up at me, giving me a wide grin which was obviously fake. I returned a tight smile, leading her over to the dinning and pulled out a chair for her. She sat down, and I sat on the one opposite to her. "What brings you here?" I asked.

She gave me a sultry look, batting her long lashes up at me. She dropped a soft hand on mine that was resting on the table, caressing my skin with the top of her fingers. "I came over to spend some time with you, have fun and you know?" I gently removed my hand from under hers and passed her a strict look. "I will see if the cook is done making lunch, and then I will be right back."

Her face reddened with embarrassment, but still she nodded, and lowered her eyes.

It was already difficult enough to be in the same space as her and she had the guts to insinuate that I was going to have sex with her? I was only trying to be nice because I had decided to make peace with everyone who had a bone to pick with me, just for the sake of Chloe. They were transferring their aggression to her and she already had a lot going on, for me to add so more stress to her life. I was going to make Cara understand that I was off limits, so she could finally leave my wife the hell alone!

The chef was standing by the gas cooler, stirring something in a large pot. I asked him for serve out the food for two and then keep some more for Chloe. By the time I returned to the dinning room, Cara was nowhere to be found. "Cara?" I called out cautiously.

"I am up here baby!"

I felt the anger coursing through me, as I raised my eyes up to my bedroom door. "What. The. Hell," I muttered under my breath. I stomped up the stairs, throwing the door open with a loud bang and right there in the centre of my bed, laid a very naked Cara.

"What the fuck," I cursed, immediately turning my back on her. "What the hell is wrong with you, Cara? Are you sick in the head or something?!"

I heard her scoffed. "It is not like you haven't seen this body for over a million times, why then are you acting that way," she whispered in my ears, pressing her breasts into. my back.

I stiffened, immediately moving away from her. I had not even known when she had climbed out of the bed and come over to me. I watched out of the room. "I give you two minutes to get dressed and come downstairs," I snapped.

By the time I reached downstairs again, the meal had been placed on the table and without waiting for her like I ought to have done, I picked up my fork and dug into my food.

I did not lift my eyes, when I saw her through the corner of my eyes. She dropped down on in her chair and immediately started to eat. "Spoil sport," she muttered under her breath and that was when I lost it.

I slammed my fork down on my plate, pushing my half eaten meal away. "What was that about? For how long do you intend to keep tormenting me? Why can't you just get it that I want nothing to do with you and stop throwing yourself at me that way?"

Her face scrunched up in confusion. "But you used to like it them, whenever I stripped off my clothes to surprise you, what happened? You really used to get excited, so what changed?!"

"What happened is that I found my mate! What happened is that I have a wife! Why can you not just accept that and move on with your life!" "Because I can't!"

"You have to," I said more calmly now. "Chloe is the woman-"

"Child!" She interjected, muttering under her breath.

"-that I love, she is everything to me and it would be best if you accepted that and moved on! I do not have anything to offer you and if you have seen my wife, you would know that your body no longer does anything for me, she have got everything that I ever wanted in a woman and more!"

Her face hardened, an ugly look taking over as her ever fake smile disappeared. She gripped tightly on the edge of the table untill her knuckles turned white. "Your wife aside," she hissed. "Did you ever for once, think about making me Luna?" I gave her a flat look. "No. I never thought of you as Luna, you know it had always been Maggie for me..." I trailed off, hesitating as I saw the hurt that crossed her features. "The rest of you, was just a way of stopping all the hurt that she caused me."

She shrugged, "so, what is the deal with that little wife of yours? I mean, she is not even that grown and I guess, not even that experienced!"

A chuckle rumbled out of me. "She has more experience than a one thousand year old wolf." Her mouth hung open, almost hitting the floor. "And what it is about her, is that she healed me. She makes me feel, she makes me happy and she made me fall in love again. I love her..."

Cara stared at me defeated, a little smile making its way to her lips. "You really love her, don't you?"

"With all of my heart, body and soul," I replied, not sparing a second to hesitate.

"I lost then, I guess," she said, making me laugh so hard. She smiled back ate, picked up her fork and continued with her food. "If she ever dumps you, you know where to find me!"

I chuckled again. I connected the cook through the pack's link, asking him to keep an eye on Cara(because she came to terms with me, did not mean I trusted her), while I excused myself and went up to have a shower.

I suppose that that stupid Cara had delayed on purpose, so Chloe was going to meet her when she got home. And if that was the case, I hoped she believed me when I finished telling her what happened.

She eyed me, searching my face like she was trying to see if I was telling a lie and I just sat there with batted breath, too scared that I would make a mistake if I even as much as twitch an eyelid. "So,... Cara stripped off her clothes in front of you?"

Her questions took me by surprise. "Baby?"

"Hmm!"

"Of everything I said, was that all you could take from it?"

Her large eyes narrowed, a pout forming on her plump lips. "Do not try to avoid the question, I know you took a peek, didn't you?"

"I did not, I swear!" Damn she-wolves and their jealous nature, it was starting to get annoying!

She scrutinized me for a while, then nodded. "Alright then, I believe you." I got up from the bed, pulled her dress over her head and was left in only her undies. My erection stood, as I thought she was trying to get kinky but then, she turned around and stomped into the closet.

I groaned, following after her, to see that she had pulled on some shorts, and was throwing a t-shirt over her head. She took off her flats, throwing her feet into her flip-flops. Then went to leave. "Where are you going?" I asked cautiously. "To see a certain somebody..."

And she left, banging the door in my face. I was going to follow her, but I decided to let her do whatever she wished, believing that she was in control of the situation. Right?

After that, I busied myself in getting dressed, then went back into bed and picked up a book that Chloe left on the stool. I flipped through the book, my eyes beginning to droop as the little texts made me feel dizzy from a mere looking at them.

I put the book away and decided to go back to sleep, wanting to get as much rest as I could since today was obviously my free day and so far, no one had called on me to complain about any problem I had to solve, which meant that everything was in control.

So, I folded the page were I ended, so as to mark it. Then I dropped it beside me an shifted unto my side. I closed my eyes, smiling to myself as reminisced about moment with Chloe and I couldn't help the smile that snuck unto the face. She was such a jealous one, wasn't she?

I hoped that she was going out there to have a talk with Cara, then it shouldn't result to something bigger and you know, maybe uncouth. Like a fight. I did not want a repeat of what happened with Maggie and it had to be a good thing that she was not in talking terms with bad tempered Lily, or that would definitely be a bloody fight!
