Bullied by the Alpha

“Are you okay?” Carl asked.

His friend always came with him when he went to check the security.

“Yes.”

“It’s the full moon in a couple of days.”

“I know.” He held the fence and gave it a little tug, satisfied with it. Moving along the line of the fence, he was aware of Carl and what he was getting at. The full moon was a huge event within the pack. It was where wolves declared themselves mates.

For their pack it was a wedding ceremony.

“What does Cassie think of the upcoming full moon?” Carl asked.

He turned to his friend and folded his arms. “I’ve not asked her.”

“You want to mate with her though.”

He mated with Cassie every single night, most of the time multiple times a night, and that was even when they found some secluded room during the day. He couldn’t keep his hands off her, nor did he want to.

“It’s her first full moon with the pack. I’m not going to put pressure on her, Carl.”

“But you both want this. I mean, you are always eye-fucking. Even the women have noticed your attention to her, and let’s face it, you’re not normally swayed by any woman, yet the moment Cassie walks in it’s like, boom, she has your attention.”

Abel kept on walking again. This time they were at the edge of the forest, which led onto a main road. The fences were hidden behind lots of bushes and brambles.

He paused as he noticed a bend within the fence.

Carl, noticing his attention, stepped forward.

Moving the brambles out of the way, Abel ran his finger across the bend.

“Someone made that,” Carl said.

“I know.” He held onto the fence and knew it was a wolf. “Someone is trying to get on our land.”

“Do you scent anything?”

He shook his head. “Whoever it is, they’ve used bleach to cover their tracks.”

“Could it be a rogue wolf?”

“Prior to Cassie’s old alpha, I’d say so. Right now, I don’t think this is a coincidence that they wanted her back and now my security has been compromised.” He pressed the bars together and knew he would have to bind them. “Gather some of the men. I want them out so that we can repair the damage and reinforce everything.”

He had metal wiring that he could wrap around each of the poles that would help secure the fence. It was only a quick fix and wouldn’t deter anyone from trying to get into his property, and now he was pissed.

Once the men joined him, they all got to work. The women brought out refreshments, and they worked well into the night to fix the damage.

“What do you think?” Cassie asked, coming to his side.

He was aware of the pack watching him.

Wrapping his arm around her back, he pulled her close, pressing his nose against her neck.

“I think your pack is trying to find a weakness to take you from me.”

“That makes no sense,” she said. “They hated me, Abel. They didn’t care for me at all.”

“Well, they’re finding it within themselves to care. Don’t worry about it. I can fix this.” He saw the worry in her eyes. “I’ve always been extra-cautious about the safety of my pack. There are a lot of alphas out there that don’t like that I split and was strong enough to start my own pack.”

Jessica moved up toward them. “You’re part of us now, Cassie. We won’t let anything happen to you.”

He smiled at Jessica and left his woman to her.

Once all of the fences had been bound with metal, he made sure that anyone trying to get into his property would suffer some serious damage. He had a gate and a phone. They could make an appointment or come in the front door. This was not the way to get his attention.

On the way back, he held Cassie close to him, and she rested her head against his chest. He sensed the worry in the pack. They were not worried about his ability to protect them, but now they all knew they would have to be on guard.

This was what he’d been training them to do.

Entering his home, Cassie started to make her way to the stairs, but he caught her to him. “Go down to my dungeon.”

She frowned at him.

“Don’t make me tell you twice.”

Cassie nodded her head, going in the opposite direction.

Heading to his office, he pulled open the large map, displaying it on his desk. Cassie had pointed out where her pack was, and he placed a ruler marking his own location. On the map were all the other packs that were close to him that he knew of. None of them had an issue with him, but Cassie’s did.

It also happened to be the closest. There was a knock at the door, and he looked up to see Jessica.

“Come in,” he said.
