Read Online The Wolf's Prey by Edugardo Gilbert X - Free Book Online Page B

I mark her, my wolf
won't stop surfacing. He'll want to dominate her until she submits
to us, allowing for us to fully claim her. She'll
understand.
    Now, what do I do
to apologize? Thinking about it for a minute I get the best idea. I
walk to the kitchen seeing Beverly, my chef, prepping for dinner. I
was going to take Jocelyn out but I think I'll bring her here. She
notices me and jumps. "I need a favor."
    "Yes,
Alpha."
    "I need to make
rice crispy treats. Show me."
    She looks
surprised but doesn't question me. Getting out everything I need,
she tells me what to do. Even making them myself it only takes
minutes. "Thank you. Also, I'm having my future mate for dinner.
She likes pasta." I say leaving the kitchen. I walk back to the
office just as the phone rings.
    I answer. "Alpha
Hall."
    "Alpha, I want to
speak to you about Jocelyn." I hear Alpha Rhys say.
    "What about
her?"
    "If you choose to
mate her I will challenge your claim on her." He
threatens.
    I almost laugh.
"Challenge accepted."
    "I wasn't
challenging you officially. I said I will challenge you if you
claim her."
    "I, Alpha Lennox
Hall, claim Jocelyn Kate Robinson as my mate." I state wanting to
end this phone call.
    "You son of
bitch! She's mine!" He yells.
    "Then I assume we
have a challenge." I say wanting to rip his head off for calling
her his.
    "Fine, a
challenge." He agrees reluctantly.
    I know he's
apprehensive about fighting me and he should be. Rhys may be a good
fighter but without a doubt I'm better. I'm the most feared Alpha
in North America for good reason. I've never been beaten, not even
close. I train for these fights all year. Fights like these are
welcome to me. My wolf thrives on them.
    "Is that all?
She's coming over for dinner, I have things to do." I state
bored.
    I hear his growl.
"Don't touch her." He replies trying to sound menacing but instead
I laugh at his idiocy.
    "Trust me, she
likes it. You should have heard her last night." I can't help but
brag.
    "Bullshit. She's
not that kind of girl." I hear the disbelief in his
voice.
    "Don't take my
word for it then. Ask her parents." I chuckle and hang
up.
    "What an
asshole." I mutter. I bring up some business I've been putting off.
I inherited my grandfather's iron ore mining range when I was
eighteen. After my father killed himself.
    -Flashback-
    "I'm sixteen
years old. Why do I have to be here?" I grumble to my father
looking around his office. He's made me come with him to the office
since I was fifteen.
    "This is going to
be yours that's why. Not another word, Lennox."
    "Word." I mutter.
Looking up at my father I know he's mad. I just don't care. Never
have, I'm used to the beatings.
    I feel his fist
connect with my face and body over and over again until I'm huddled
on the floor trying to breathe.
    -End
Flashback-
    The phone rings
again breaking me out of my trance. "Alpha Hall." I
answer.
    "Alpha, we just
got a call from Alpha Rhys. He shouted and asked if you stayed here
last night." Mr. Robinson says sounding alarmed.
    "How did you
respond?" I ask.
    "I told him you
did stay here with Jocelyn and he started yelling about a challenge
and coming to get her."
    "I'll take care
of it." I reply ending the call.
    I contact five of
my best Enforcers. Once everyone is in my office I brief them on
the situation regarding Jocelyn and Alpha Rhys.
    "You think he'll
risk coming here to get her?" Liam asks.
    "Theo Robinson
thought so. He wants her. He challenged me." I state.
    "What an idiot.
Who challenges another Alpha for a girl no longer in his pack? It's
just messy. Why'd he let her leave in the first place?" Don
questions.
    "He didn't. He
was out of town when I hired Theo Robinson to be an accountant for
me. Beta Burnett didn't see any reason why the Robinsons couldn't
leave. They weren't a part of the everyday pack operation. Alpha
Rhys came back a few days ago, when he found out she was gone he
killed his Beta. I doubt he'll stop at anything to get
Jocelyn."
    "You want more
men on her then?"
