The Alpha's Expectations | Completed ✔️

Chapter 10

I followed her hesitantly and tried to ignore my wolf's perverted suggestions about her ass.

I wasn't going to look.

She led me to a small cabin near the edge of the pack boundary, which made me frown.

I didn't know if I could trust myself around her. There was a very faint scent of the remains of her heat. If my wolf took the time to smell her properly, he would go crazy.

She turned around to face me and gestured to the couch, "Have a seat. Do you want anything to drink?"

"No, I'm good."

She nodded and sat down on the couch across from me, "What did you want to talk about?"

I studied her features with a curious look while she did the same with me. When our eyes made contact, it felt like there was a new energy in the air. I felt a small shiver go down my spine as my eyes bore into her beautiful brown ones. Her cheeks turned a faint shade of pink, and I had to force myself to resist the urge to smile. 

"So?" She asked quietly as if she didn't want to break the moment. 

What was I supposed to say? I didn't know how to start the conversation. Why was I so nervous to talk to a she-wolf? She was like a pack member.....except she could potentially rule beside me and have my pups.

I blinked and let my eyes fall on the coffee table, "How are you feeling?"

"I've had better days," she said.

 Even though she didn't sound angry, I felt worse than I did before. She was still willing to forgive and accept me after I put her through that. 

 "Look, Alexis. I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just that, my wolf wanted to mark you. He was out of control and I couldn't push him down no matter how hard I tried. If I saw you, I would have marked you by force. I didn't want to do that. If we mark each other, it should be because we genuinely like each other and feel ready to take our relationship to the next level," I said, running my fingers through my hair roughly

She licked her lips slowly as she thought about what I said, causing my wolf to wreak havoc in my head.

Let's pull–

No. The last time I let you in control, you pulled her tail. Have you forgotten about that?

I bet mate liked it though. 

Was it possible to slap your wolf without slapping yourself in the process? 

"I understand you wanted to protect me, but I'm not just upset about that, Hudson. You haven't even tried to talk to me once before this. How are we supposed to get to know each other if you avoid me?"

"You didn't try to talk to me either, Alexis. Don't push this all on me," I stated angrily. If she wanted to talk so bad, why didn't she approach me?

"I did try. The first day you were here I introduced myself, but you walked away. Then, you pretty much locked yourself up in your room. How the fuck was I supposed to talk to you then Hudson? I wasn't going to chase you like a fool. I shouldn't have to. You're my mate. Have your parents not given you the mate talk?"

"Don't be stupid. Of course they did."

It was one hell of an awkward conversation too. My mom made my dad tell me about mates and he wouldn't stop making awkward jokes.

She raised an eyebrow, "Hudson. Boston and Matthew told me about what happened five years ago, but you can't possibly think I'm capable of betraying the pack like that do you?"

I suddenly felt angry that she was questioning my decisions. It made me seem like an ignorant leader. 

I blocked my wolf so he would stop growling and snapped, "You have no right to speak about that. That has nothing to do with our relationship."

"Really?" She drawled sarcastically, her eyes flashing angrily.

"Yes, in fact, I can give you three good reasons why I shouldn't accept you right now," I retorted, standing up so I towered over her. She did the same, except her head only reached my chest. 

"Fine. Give me three reasons."

A dark glare formed on my face as she stood her ground. Most wolves would have pissed their pants, but she stayed still. I was angry that she affected me without even trying, her scent was enough to mess with my mind.

 "I don't know if you're a good Luna."

She nodded slowly, "One."

I opened my mouth again, but nothing came out. 

Fuck.

I racked my brain for a second reason, but the only things I could come up with were covered by the first reason. 

"You know what Hudson? Find me when you can speak with your brain and not your ego," She muttered, turning to leave. She was almost to the door when I grabbed her hand and yanked her back, catching her off guard. 

"What the–?" She stumbled backward, and I quickly gripped her waist to steady her. 

Tingles rushed up and down my body at the feeling of her warm skin touching mine. She seemed stunned by my actions, but she didn't try to pull away from my grip. 

I had to admit, I could see what the fuss was about. It felt amazing to just hold her, and I wouldn't feel comfortable if any other male touched her like this. We weren't even doing anything remotely romantic, but the whole scene felt intimate. 

I was about to say something when she pulled away gently and glared at the window, "Do you smell that?"

The fog in my head instantly cleared as a foul smell drifted into my nostrils. She turned back around with a worried look on her face.

Was it a rogue? After all, not all rogues share the same scent.

The smell got stronger, and I felt like gagging. It was like the scent of rotten eggs and skunk mixed together.

"Hudson," she whispered,  "It's not a werewolf."

Hey loves. What do you think about this? Have Hudson and Alexis made any progress? Was their conversation good? Is Hudson slowly changing his mind? And what about the ending there? It's not a werewolf.
