The Rogue Alpha’s Claim

Ariel started devising a plan immediately after she got to her room. Kane had been trying to prove stubborn, but he had no idea she was a greater force to contend with.

Ariel was determined to let bygones be bygones and focused on the future, but Kane seemed to think she was still holding onto the pass, and she was determined to prove him wrong.

She began by packing a few essentials she was going to need for the night, and she stuffed them in a tote bag. She peeped inside, making sure everything she needed for a sleepover was there, and she nodded her head in satisfaction.

Then she picked up the bag, hanging it on her shoulder, and she made for the door. Now outside the door, she let her nose guide her, and she began to look for Kane’s scent.

The man had continued to prove stubborn, so drastic times call for drastic action.

Ariel was able to trace the scent to the room at the end of the hall, and she held the doorknob, pushing it gently, and a sigh of relief left her as it gave way-grateful it was unlocked.

She took a step inside, and almost immediately she was hit by the undeniable scent of his, so strong in the air that she staggered on her feet.

“Fuck!” Ariel exclaimed as she held her knees to steady her, and when she was much better, she straightened up, and she took a long whiff of his scent, letting it seep into her every being.

Gosh, she had missed it.

Now she understands what it means to be addicted and why it was hard to stay away. From the moment she entered the room, she knew she was never going to leave there alone, except Kane left with her.

Ariel took another deep breath; this time she closed her eyes as she inhaled, and she slowly exhaled before she opened her eyes.

She entered the room proper and dropped her bags on the bed while her eyes wandered about the room. It was pretty much bare except for some clothes that were hanging inside his wardrobe.

The room was a lot smaller than their current bedroom, and it was bathed in a warm golden glow from the sun and the brown curtains that covered the window. The room had the same marble styling as their room, but there was a little Persian rug in the middle, and she sank her feet into it.

All of the furniture was in the same dark brown color, and that was all about it.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Not exactly bad if you ask her.

The first thing Ariel did was jump on the bed and rub herself on the sheets thoroughly until her scent had saturated well in them.

She had learned early in her baby wolf stage that rubbing your body everywhere was a way to get your scent everywhere. And she set to work, rubbing her scent everywhere she thought Kane would frequent.

Nothing was spared, not even his shirts, and she looked ridiculous doing all that, but she was trying to save her bond, so anything would suffice.

Ariel went to the bathroom, replacing all of his washes and conditioner with her, and after she was done, she surveyed her handwork with a smile on her lips.

Perfect!

Kane was going to have a hard time resisting this both literally and figuratively.

Now she just had to wait.

Waiting was never a problem for her; she had used the time to reconnect with Claudia, already planning how she was going to visit her when everything was much better, probably with Kane.

And somehow, the time had passed like that, and the sun had gone down, just in time for when Kane was going to come back.

Ariel had already taken her bath again, and she had worn a long armless dress; it was as harmless as it could be, but under bright light, it was pretty much transparent, and she sat, waiting for him.

She anxiously awaited his return with bated breath, her heart pounding behind her ribcage as the door slowly gave way and Kane came in. He locked gaze with her, and his forehead furrowed into creases, his lips pulling into a thin line.

“What is going on here?” Kane growled just as he took a deep breath, and it was amazing to see the immediate effect. His pupil darkened, and she was sure she saw his canine peek from his lips. “Ariel!”

“Welcome back, love.” Ariel said with a huge smile on her lips. “How was work?”

But Kane didn’t seem to share in her enthusiasm: “What is going on here? Why are you in my room?” He growled, his lips curling up in distaste, and to everyone he was angry, but Ariel had glanced down at his fingers, noticing how hard he had tightened his fist in a bid to restrain himself, and she could tell that anger was the last thing on his mind.

“Oh nothing.” Ariel shrugged, feigning ignorance. She stood up, throwing her legs after the other as she calculated steps towards him. “I just wanted to be as close as possible to my mate. It is lonely sleeping in that big room.”

“I don’t have time for this, Ariel. I have had a very busy day, and I just want to get a good night’s rest.”

“Of course, help yourself. I am not going to disturb you.”

Kane squinted his eyes at her, refusing to believe her words, but he was too tired to argue; even when she had held his shirt and began to undress him, he made no effort to pry her hands.

Not even when she had set a tray of dinner for him, the smoked salmon was too good to pass. Kane had eaten everything and crawled to bed, not even thanking her, hoping she would take his silence for rejection.

But Ariel had hopped to bed, occupying the space beside him, and wriggled herself close until her ass was resting on his crotch.

“Ariel, what are you doing?” Kane groaned, his body reacting from being so close to her. “I just want to sleep.”

“I never said I was doing the opposite, so don’t mind me. I only want to sleep too.” She replied and closed her eyes, feigning sleep. But it was hard for Kane to do so when his cock was already resting between her ass cheek.

He had promised not to touch her without her will, and it had taken all of his willpower not to succumb to temptation, but he won at the end, and he had fallen asleep, thinking it was going to be the end of it.

However, Ariel was unstoppable when she was determined, and their routine continued. She would stay with him in the room, sleep next to him, and do everything, but she made no effort to bother him or talk to him.

She only replied when she was spoken to, and it was driving Kane crazy.

He could not continue again without losing his mind, so on the third day, the shell broke.

“Alright, what exactly do you want?” He had asked her after they finished their dinner.

“Nothing.” Ariel said with a controlled smile, but she already knew she had him where she wanted.

“Ariel!” Kane groaned, unable to continue with the current situation.

“Fine, I want you to follow me to therapy.”

“Therapy?” Kane’s brow shot up as he looked at her. “Ariel, you know that…”

“I know, I know. But this is the only thing I am asking of you. You and I will go for couple therapy twice a week, and I promise to leave you alone.”

“Ariel.” Kane gently strolled his jaw as he contemplated the idea. There was no harm in it. “Alright, but only twice a week.”

“Of course,” Ariel jumped on him, wrapping her hands around him for a tight hug. “Thank you so much.” She said, her voice muffled in his shirt.

Kane may not know it, but that was the beginning of changes in their relationship.
