The Alpha's Toy

CHAPTER NINE

Ch. 9 / 53 Feb 14, 2025

Angelo's POV

It never crossed my mind that she would kiss me in public after our discussion earlier. Diana didn't want people finding out we are mates because she was next in line to be alpha and it just created problems. I understood the pressure she was in right now, to exceed everyone’s expectation and take what was meant for her. It was in her blood to lead, to help others. Nonetheless, I didn't reject the offer to kiss those soft lips of my hers that caused my inner wolf to scratch at my walls of control. It ended all too quickly when she pushed me away, her beautiful brown eyes wide in shock.

"... Again," I said smiling and going in for another kiss but she put her hands on my face stopping me from doing so. Chuckling, I let her push me off her so she could get up off the ground with flushed cheeks. Looking around I notice no one was around- ah wait there is one person. Cam was here. He seemed to just enter the training room, missing our little make out season. I’m sure he would have loved to see that. Cam was walking towards us without wanting to kill me with those brown eyes. Oh, I spoke too soon, there he goes glaring at me again.

"Diana your mom has arrived. Everyone went to greet her." Cam spoke not even acknowledging my presence anymore, making me want to show him manners towards his alphas again. Maybe a black eye would teach him this time. I already knew that her mom was on her way back, her dad told me about being afraid that she would get hurt from rogues on the way back so I sent some of my people to meet her halfway and escort her.

I let Cam's rude actions slide when I saw a smile break out from Diana lighting up the room. "I thought she was going to come next week!"

"You know how your father is..." Cam responded smiling back at her. It irked me that she didn't see what was behind his smile, he obviously likes her. He likes my mate might I add.

"He is protective, arrogant, and annoying," Diana said and then looked at me realizing something.

"What?" I said raising an eyebrow at her confused

Shaking her pretty head, she said, "Nothing, never mind."

"Are you going to come, or what?" Cam asked making her look at him instead of me. Shifting feet, I was unsure if I should tag along with her or let her go first so she isn’t seen with me.

"Can we do this later?" Diana turned around to face me using her puppy dog eyes even though I was originally going to say yes in the first place.

"Fine," I agreed to watch her beautiful brown eyes shine brightly with my response. Apparently, I wasn't the only one watching her, Cam also had her eyes glued to her which was starting to anger me more and stir up the beast inside of me. I don't want anyone else looking at her like that. I had to swallow down a bitter taste in my mouth to stop myself from saying anything.

"Why don't you go on ahead of us?" I asked but made it more of a demand by glaring at him. He hesitated but did as I said with a sour look on his face, which was nothing new by now. Little prick.

"Why did you do that?" Diana asked looking back at me curiously.

"You do know he likes you, right?" I asked grumpily, crossing my arms over my chest as I watched him walk out of the training room.

"Yeah, I've gotten the hints and questions of him asking me out," Diana said nonchalantly. She acts likes she doesn't know what he is doing! “But I see him as a brother, seriously.”

Sighing I let my arms fall, at least she wasn’t falling his tricks. "Come on, let's go meet your mother."

"You're going too?" She asked surprised. Of course, I'm going! She is my mate! I want to see her mom and get to know her family better.

I could have said that but didn't, instead, I said, "I'm the alpha. It's my duty to greet the other alpha's mate."

"Okay," She said narrowing her brown eyes at me. Does she know what I'm thinking?

Wrapping my arm around her waist I said, "Come on."

She suddenly got out of my grasp and walked in forward narrowing her eyes at me over her shoulder making her look utterly adorable, to say the least. I didn't mind her walking in front, to be honest...

As we neared the living room where mostly everyone was currently in, some young werewolf men stood next to the end of the hallways watching people come in and out. I watched them eye my mate as she passed by before giving loud wolf whistles. Diana kept walking as nothing had just happened making me question how many times it’s happened in the first place. I, on the other hand, won't let that pass so easily. Stopping at the entrance I looked to my right to see the short brunette kid still looking at her walk away, probably thinking many perverted things about my mate. It made my blood boil.

Grabbing him from the front of his shirt I pulled him closer to me, making our foreheads touch. I could instantly feel fear radiating off him, it was also lurking inside his black eyes once he realized who I was.

Good, I wanted him to be scared.

"I see you looking at her, you think she's hot?" I asked letting him go and watching him stumble back. When a minute passed and he said nothing I raised my eyebrows, To be honest, he probably shitted his pants. Poor guy. I thought he'd at least put up a fight but he knew not to even try.

"Well, never look at her again, you hear?" I said shaking him up a little bit by his shirt, his head thrusting back and forth like he was a rag doll. I needed to watch how much force I used apparently.

"Did I stutter, boy?!" I asked getting angry he wasn't speaking back. I knew he probably wolf whistled her a lot, I used to be one of those. The ones that would gladly show their appreciation at such beauty walking by with a whistle. I could see why Cam would want to warn me off.

"N-no sir," He finally said weakly. Damn, I didn't mean to scare the poor kid to death!

"Now go," I said shoving him away from my face. Stumbling, he practically ran away, his friends were frozen in their spot, staring at me wide-eyed. They weren't that young, about four years younger or less, still easy to scare.

"What?" I asked all of them but didn't wait to see what they would do before walking in to see Diana was nowhere to be seen. Oh great, I already lost her to the massive group of people.

I began to wonder how her mom was going to be like. I’m hoping she likes me. I want to be on her good side so perhaps she'll show me the fat baby pictures I'm sure Diana is hiding from my eyes. My mother always liked to show off that I was a chubby baby for some reason.
