His Mate and His Mistress 1 (W)

by Irtania Adrien

  Chapter 27- "Secret Plan" -Part 5 *Third person's pnt. Of view* Adelina and James sat in a very tense silence, both somehow trapped in their own minds. James was anxious, he explained everything that Demitrey told him, from the moment he met Adelina, to finding out that she was his mate, from the letters, to their ambush. He explained that the alpha suspected Serena but before they could really pinpoint who was behind all of it, they were ambushed. He sat quietly, allowing the Luna time to absorb and digest everything, all the while he was anxious on the inside, not sure what the final response will be. Meanwhile, Adelina sat quietly, trying to process everything that James told her. She never expected what she heard. There were too many voices in her head, too many memories playing back all at once, too many reasoning, too many encounters between her and Demitrey, and there were too many questions. She needed air. Adelina abruptly stood, and James was quick to follow, but Adelina shook her head and said "no, it's okay, I just need a breather. I'll be back." But James wasn't having it, he stood and blocked her, Adelina stood with eyebrows raised in surprised. "I'm sorry Luna, but the Alpha gave me specific directions to not let you out of my sight." Explained James."What? Why? Is he afraid I'll leave again?" Asked Adelina, her anger slowly surfacing."Yes." Was James' simple and blunt reply. "Wow." Was all that Adelina could muster. Then she breathed and once again shook her head, holding her temples as a headache slowly creeped on her brain. "James look," sighed Adelina with eyes closed, "I really need some space to think all of this through, so can you please just let me go, I promise, I'll be in the park across from here." She opened her eyes, trying to reason with James. "Sorry Aden, look, just go in your room, and I promise you won't even know I'm here." James said, giving an ultimatum."Come on." Whined Adelina."Either that, or you sit here while I keep an eye on you." Said James, not letting up, then he saw a mischievous glint flash in Adelina's eyes, but before she could say anything, he said "and don't even think to use your Luna tone on me, the alpha will have my head if he finds out that I let you out.""Uuugh, FINE!" Adelina said giving up, and stomping all the way to her room, where she slammed the door shut. James chuckled and shook his head at Adelina's childish behavior, he really missed her, it was like the little sister he never had, although if he had a sister, he most likely wouldn't have brought her to the club, but then again, maybe he would've. James found himself taking off his shirt and settling on the couch. He sent a message to the Alpha, giving an update about Adelina, and how she is handling the situation through their mind link, as a sweet slumber started to caress his body. But just as he was about to fully commit to sleep, there came knock on the door. He was going to be quiet and pretend that there was no one home, until the knock came again. With a low growl, he trudged his way to the door, and with an angered "WHAT?!" He opened the door, then he froze. There, in front of his eyes, stood a surprised beauty, who, just like James couldn't keep her eyes off the tall figure standing in front of her. Her eyes observed his face, then slowly started traveling down his naked torso. Then just as her eyes started to zero in on the growing bulge in his pants, she heard a low yet very possessive voice say "MINE." And just like that she was engulfed in his arms, his lips claiming hers. *Demitrey's pnt. Of view* I sat quietly after receiving the news from James about my mate. According to James, she wasn't taking it very well, well, I'm assuming she's not taking it well, especially since she begged James for space. But then again, I didn't expect her to take it well, especially since it’s a lot to take in. I mean, I'm pretty sure that before today she thought of me as an utter and complete asshole, and after today she might either think even worse of me, or maybe not. But it didn't matter, I knew in my heart she would come to help save the pack, but what would come after that? Well, that was all up to her, and fate. But whichever came first, I would do anything to get her back, no matter what it takes. *Adelina's pnt. Of view* I slammed my door shut, and made my way to the bed. I sat down, as my brain became alive, but then I became too excited to sit, so before I knew it, I started pacing back and forth. Questions where flying all over my brain. Why didn't he tell me? I could've helped! Is that why he tried so hard to keep away? Or is that why the tables always turned with him? From cold to hot and back? Why? Who? How? I couldn't focus on any particular thing, since everything was trying to mash up in my mind. The pieces of memories and encounters where binding together as though they were all part of one big puzzle, one big picture. I breathed and closed my eyes, as my fingers massaged my temples, as the headache worsened. "Okay, you need to calm down." Came Aden's voice in my head."How? How Do you expect me to calm down after all I've heard?" I demanded, angry."Because I've been keeping an open mind about our mate situation, and why he did what he did. I tried to warn you, or at least get you to see things my way, but nooo, you were being stubborn." She snapped back."Well maybe I didn't want to keep an open mind, maybe I just wanted him to love me, sweep me off my feet, take care of me, see pass my flaws and just love me. I'm just tired! Okay? I'm tired because from the moment I was born, I could never find someone to love me on that level. I had no parental love, and love from my friends had their limits. All I dreamed of, was a mate, a mate that loves me! All he had to do was love me!" I didn't realize I was crying until I felt the drops fall on my chest, and I quickly used to the back of my hand to clear the streams on my face out of anger."How can you be so blind? He DID love you. Heck, he DOES love you. If he didn't, why do you think he tried so hard to stay away, to control the urges he felt for you? He knew the moment he showed that he cared. You would be in trouble! I can't believe you!" Snapped Aden, then she zoned out of my mind. I sighed as I sat on the bed again. She did try to reason with me, but I guess my yearnings made me blind. Too blind in fact. I sighed, knowing already what I had to do. But if I were to consider doing this, then I still had some questions that needed answering. I made my way to the door so I could speak with James, but just as my hand reached for the knob, I heard some shuffling around, just as I heard one of my vases crash on the floor. I opened the door in haste, and made my way to the living room, which I instantly regretted the moment I witnessed the scene that would scar me for life.

  Chapter 28- "Secret Plan" -Part 6 *Adelina's pnt. Of view* "WHAT IS GOING ON? JAMES?! Oh my Gooood!" I snapped, my hands clasping over my eyes, to block out the explicit scene taking place in my living room."Oh! Adelina! I'm sorry, I just... I'm sorry" said a soft voice. Wait, I know that voice. "Katharina? What in the world are you doing?" I asked, my vision still blinded by my hands. "Um, well, you see, what had happened was-""She's my mate, but I apologize Luna, I should've controlled myself." Said James, cutting off Katharina's babbling."What?" I asked in d disbelief."Yeah, I guess I had a mate after all... um, you can uncover your eyes now." He said awkwardly. Slowly and carefully, I brought my hands down, and slowly peeled back my eyelids, as they landed on James and Katharina, whose both cheeks' were tainted with a dark blush. "Um, Kat, what are you doing here?" I asked finally breaking the silence."Well, I came by so we could have a sleepover, I got home, and I was bored, so I thought to come by, but then when I knocked, he opened the door, " she explained her eyes flashing over to James, who's eyes met hers halfway as she continued, "and well, something just came over me, he said 'MINE' and I couldn't control the wave of lust and want that washed over me, next thing I know, I'm in his arms, and I'm actually determining that he's the best kisser I've ever had." She said, her eyes looking at him all googly like, his eyes mirroring hers. Without any warning, they started kissing again, and the moment they melted in each other's arms, a pang of sadness, hurt, and pain resonated in my heart, and although I felt happy for the new couple, I still found myself envying what they had, and wanting what they had. Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes, as my nose tickled with unspoken emotion. But before I allowed them to fall, I cleared my throat, and once again, they snapped back from their romantic exchange, but I didn't want to keep them from that, they deserved their happiness. "Okay, well I know how this mate thing works. Kat since I've given you
the lesson of werewolf 101, and I'm pretty sure that you are both aroused, just know that there is a guest room down the hall and to your right. You can use it for as long as you need, and not just for physical encounters, you guys need to talk in private" I said with a smile, and James gave me a grateful look as he took Kat's hand and led her to the room. I already knew what was going to happen, so instead of sitting and sulking in my thoughts, I occupied myself by cooking. Though, at some point and time, I still found my mind wandering to the one and only Demitrey. I was, at the moment, so confused about him. He hurt me, he teased me, yet he made it looked as though he loved me, as though he couldn't resist me. But then were those actions fake, or real? Did he act a certain way to hurt me, even if his intentions were good? Do I just believe everything James said and move on? Forgive and forget? There were too many questions, each needing an answer, so I'm making my decision. It's my heart first before anybody else, I could care less if of my decision leaves a negative impact on some lives, or if others disapprove of my decision. Adelina was taking charge of her independence. *Demitrey's pnt. Of view* I haven't heard anything from James since we last communicated, and to be honest I was really beginning to worry. I had a two plans set up, and everyone had a role to play, but Adelina held the secret to which plan we would use, she was the center of all of this. I got down into a sitting position, although my body protested, and my wrists became numb from the wolfs bane. The pain was there, but I shut it out, I had to focus on something else. I closed my eyes, and soon enough, pictures of my Adelina started flashing in my vision. I smiled and breathed, she was always my relief. I smiled as my memories of her played over and over, except, it wasn't supposed to happen like this. I grew up under my father's hands, and he made sure that he engraved the idea that mates were a no no. He gave me the idea of having a personal mistress, to keep my lust at bay and sedated, but after that, a mate was to never catch my eye. I mean, after his mate, my mother, birthed me, he killed her, and although he didn't do it by his bare hands, his actions and intentions were clear enough. But how could I resist such a pull? My father explained the connection of two mates, but his words never truly compared to what I felt the moment I knew Adelina was my mate. I remember, whenever I asked questions about mates, and when would I meet mine, my father would beat me and flog me as punishment, then he sworn that the moment he found out who my mate was he was going to kill her. So I had to take a drastic move. I killed my father. No, it’s not the way one might think. I didn't poison his drink, or food, nor did I kill him in his sleep. No, instead we had to battle it out for the position of alpha of our pack. Everyone was there to witness it, even our worse enemies. I killed my father in that duel, and although I am not proud, I am happy that my mate was safe from the fate of being in constant danger. Or so I thought. *Unknown's pnt. Of view* It has been over three days since that warrior escaped, and he has yet to return. The rogues didn't pick up anything as far as whether Demitrey had a secret plan or not, and my questioning session with Demitrey didn't go so well, so now I'm back at square one. Unless, the warrior escaped because he couldn't handle the humiliation. I mean, many might wonder why did I hold on to the pack for two years, and if anything why didn't I just kill Demitrey and take over the pack, well the answer to that is quite simple. Claiming to have captured the most powerful Alpha in America, and having living proof of it, is two different things. Many have claimed to achieve what I've done, yet none of them had proof, but every second of every day that Demitrey spends in misery is living proof of what I did, and that is way more satisfying then just ending that bastard's life.

  Chapter 29- "Acceptance" *Adelina's pnt. Of view* I waited for hours before James and Katharina came back, and when they did, there was no denying what went down between them in those few hours. Though they lacked their mating marks, there was no denying that they were both happy to have found each other. Katharina was wearing one of the spare shirts I keep in the guest room, while James was currently fixing his own clothes. After fumbling around with their outfits, James cleared his throat awkwardly, while an identical blush tainted both their cheeks. I laughed and shook my head as I said "relax guys, I know what happens between mates. Anyway, here's the thing. I-""Aden wait, before you say anything, James told me about what happened and what is taking place back in America, and I think you should go." Said Katharina as she cut me off. "But- ""I know that you're stubborn, and I know that your mate hurt you, but he had a reason, and I'm pretty sure as soon as everything is over, he will cherish and love you." Continued Katharina, cutting me off again. "Kat I-""No, I know what you're going to say, I won't allow you stay here, I'll drag you back to America myself if I have to, you're helping your pack!" She once again cut me off."But Kat, I'm trying to te-""Nope, I don't want to hear it unless you're saying that you will go back to him. Look Adelina, I wouldn't have given it a second thought if Demitrey didn't have a reason for what he did, but now that you know why, you can't still be mad at him. Heck I just met my mate, and I can't bear the thought of being so far away from him." She continued on, not allowing me to speak."Kat look-" "Just give him a chance. Please Aden-""Will you just shut up and let me talk?!" I boomed, cutting her off, and her lips sealed shut out of surprise. I sighed shaking my head and looked at her, I made a move to speak, but instead paused, and making sure she wouldn't cut me off again. Once I was satisfied with her silence, I smiled then breathed and said "what I was trying to say earlier was that I'll go. Though I have many questions, the only person able to answer them is in captivity, and I cannot live without feeding my curiosity. So I have accepted to play my part as Luna, and save the pack. And I would've said that earlier if you didn't keep cutting me off." I fixed Kat with an annoyed glare, which she completely ignored."Oh, well okay then, good, I'm proud of your choice." She said looking away, and completely dismissing my accusations. James on the other hand, in a quick stride, engulfed me in his famous bear hugs as he whispered over and over "thank you Luna." "Thank me when we win this battle." I said pulling away."So, when do we leave?" Demanded Katharina. "Tomorrow, since it’s already too late to leave now. We need to get some rest." Explained James."Kat, what are you going to tell your parents? I mean you can’t just up and leave." I tried to reason."Don't worry, I know how to handle them." She said with a smile."Okay, it's settled." Said James as he and Kat made their way back to the guest room, while I made my way to my room. For some reason, declaring that I have accepted the Luna position felt like a breath of fresh air, a release and a relief. If twenty four hours ago someone told me that I would willingly be going back to the pack, I probably would've laughed and tried to place that person in an asylum for such absurd thoughts, yet here I am. Now, once we win this battle, what was going to happen? I wasn't sure how long it would take for me to forgive Demitrey, but then again, is he even in the wrong? I mean all he was doing was to protect me, even if he went a far distance to do it. Do I just say "hey, so we're mates, the threat is gone, so kiss and make up?" Ha! As if. In all honesty, I wasn't sure what the future held, and for once, I was actually more curious then scared, if scared at all. *Third person's pnt. Of view* James was sure to contact the alpha, and tell him the good news. And good news it was indeed. When the alpha announced to the pack that their Luna was coming back to help save them, the mind link roared in rejoice, but once again their excitement and chatter was hushed down by the alpha. It was time to get serious. It was now time for Kade to execute his part of the plan. And as the Beta he had to play his part. But as the alpha's best friend he was pissed off. He knew this was one of Demitrey’s childish jokes, and he would make sure to get back at him for it. This time, it was easier to escape the dungeons, Kade didn't have to follow the same process that James did because Kade had the keys from the first rogue that James ambushed. He silently maneuvered his way out of his shackles and his cell, then he planted the keys somewhere were Demitrey would have easy access to once needed. With one last look to his best friend, and a slight nod in show of respect, Kade made his way to
exit the dungeons. Easier said than done. The guards have been doubled since James' escape, and even if he took out the ones guarding the entrance of the dungeons, the struggle would probably alert the others. But then again, that wasn't such a bad idea. Rogues loved scenes, and by scenes, I mean violent scenes, so seeing two rogues fight could be the perfect distraction Kade needed. He managed to scavenge a few small pebbles on the dungeon floor, then he blended into the shadows. He kept his breathing as quiet as possible, so quiet that he could hear his heart beat resonate in his eardrums. With a quick release of a breath, he launched the first pebble. The small rock landed on one of the rogues' neck, and he shrugged it off. Then Kade did it again, and once again the rogue shrugged the pebble off. Suddenly frustrated, Kade sent another pebble flying and this time the rogue felt it and turn to his partner saying "hey asshole, stop bothering me."His partner looked over at him as though he's grown two heads and said "the fuck is wrong with you?" "Nothing will be wrong if you stop throwing stuff on me." Said Kade's victim."Whatever." Huffed his partner, who went back to ignoring him. Kade watched in silence for a few seconds while the rogue kept his eyes on his partner. When the rogue was sure his partner wouldn't do anything, he looked away with a grunt and an "I thought so" facial expression. Kade gave him another thirty seconds before he once again sent a pebble into attack, and the rogue with an angry grunt shrugged it off. Kade repeated his actions, as so did the rogue, though his body began to show evidence of his annoyance, and his anger. But once again, after giving the rogue a few seconds to cool down, Kade sent the last pebble he had left flying, and that's all it took. "Alright wise guy." Said the rogue as he stood and met his partner with a fist to the face. His partner startled for a few seconds, took a moment to register what happened, and when he did, boy was he angry. His partner's fist connected with the rogue's jaw, and soon enough, they were full on fighting, and the other nosy and curious rogues were quickly leaving their post, and eagerly becoming an audience to the ongoing boxing and wrestling match. With all the noise, and all their backs turned, Kade managed to set foot out of the dungeon, and tip toed his way across the yard, hiding every once in a while. He kept up his stealthy march until he reached the castle, where using the secret passageways, he managed to make it to his destination, the mated she-wolves' room, without being discovered. Once he reached the room, his mate was waiting for him. He embraced Cilia lovingly, and kissed her possessively. He missed and loved his girl so much, but he had to stop. Some of the other she-wolves were becoming a bit agitated. He cleared his throat and asked if everyone was okay, once he received positive feedback he said "Alright ladies, make me one of you." And the girls happily gave Kade a makeover. Kade was now known as Kadie, and he couldn't hate his best friend anymore then he did now. But also now, it was time to prepare. While everyone anticipated the Luna's return, each pack member had to be ready to play their part, but for now, they were all playing the waiting game. But little did they know, they didn't have to wait long. *Demitrey's pnt. Of view* "I'm in, and fully camouflaged." Declared Kade in the mind link, or should I say Kadie. I knew he didn't want to play this part, but he was the only one fit for the job, especially because of what he would have to do next. After receiving the news from James, my heart skyrocketed, the thought of my mate actually coming back stunned me. To be honest, I didn't think she would even consider coming back. Well maybe she would for the pack, and well as for me, I don't know, although she now knows the reasons for my actions, I'm not sure she would come back. But then again I know my mate, she’s sweet, kind hearted, forgiving, yet strong willed, so maybe part of her coming back is because of me? I chuckled at myself and shook my head. I couldn't even sound sure in my own thoughts. "Now why would she come back for you?" Said my wolf, breaking my train of thought, though he hadn't spoken to me since the night Adelina left."Oh so you actually do exist. I thought you were just an imaginary friend that I made up." I replied to him sarcastically."Shut up Demitrey." He said"Shut up Trey." I fired back at my wolf."Look, I just miss her okay? And I feel like you've ruined the chance you had to make her fall in love with us, with you." Said Trey, the sadness and worry evident in his voice."I know, but what would you have me do? Put her in danger of getting hurt, or worse?" I demanded, my anger and regret pumping and raging through my veins."Of course not, but I just miss her, she was perfect for me, for us." He said."I know, I'm pretty sure that's why once in a while you took control and became the romantic mate she wanted." I said."Hey, don't even think to use you that card man, you know majority of those times, you were fully in control." Defended Trey. And he was right. When I lost control, it wasn't my wolf who took over, I willingly gave up my control, and just to gain the satisfaction that I have willingly pleased my mate. "You're right." I said."Of course I'm right. Now you have till tomorrow to get your wits together, we're going to fight to get out mate back." Was all he said, then he faded to the back of my mind. In silent agreement, I nodded to no one in particular. I was going to get my mate back. I don't deserve her, yet she is my destined mate, I've mistreated her, even if my intentions were good, so I will do whatever it takes to get Adelina back. In silent promise, I nodded. I promised it to myself, I promised it to my wolf, and I promised it to my pack. I will get my mate back.
