The Alpha's Bride

Fun fact:

If TAB ends the week in the top 20, there will be an extra chapter on Monday. Keep those power stones coming!

'BANG!'

The door closed behind Tatiana, and two women who wore only towels on their bodies jolted in fright. Their nerves were tense as foreboding feelings consumed them.

The blonde and the brunette apprehensively looked at Maddox who stood paralyzed while staring at the carpet as possessed.

Two women exchanged concerned glances. What should they do?

Maddox told them to leave earlier that morning, but they were not fast enough.

Why did he come so quickly? Who goes on a group breakfast and returns in less than twenty minutes?

They ended up seeing him with another woman, and before anything really happened, Alpha Maddox got slapped! That was a great shame. Will he kill them to ensure they don't talk about it?

Two women wondered if that slap contained some magic because Alpha Maddox was unmoving like he was under a freezing spell.

"Alpha Maddox", the brunette called weakly.

Maddox's eyes snapped toward two women who shrunk on an instinct.

"Leave", he said in a low voice.

He felt an urge to tear them into pieces, but he knew that won't bring Tatiana back or erase image of those two bimbos standing there stupidly.

What did he even see in them?

Compared to Tatiana who shines in the colors of the rainbow, those two look like faded monochrome photocopies.

The brunette swiftly moved to collect her things, but the blonde still stared at him.

Maddox narrowed his eyes at the blonde. "Is your hearing damaged?"

She nervously gestured toward his crotch area. "You are leaking."

Maddox's brows furrowed in confusion. What did she say?

The blonde also scrambled to grab her garments and two women made a wide circle around Maddox before dashing out of the room.

Eventually, Maddox looked at his crotch area and stared at the stain that was slowly spreading. What the hell?

"Fuck!", he cursed loudly when he realized that the sausage he picked up from the ground earlier was in his pocket, leaking grease.

But Maddox couldn't care about his ruined shorts because he had other things to worry about.

Did Tatiana see that? Did she think that he peed himself? Or maybe that he suffers from premature ejaculation? Or…

Maddox rubbed his face forcibly. She probably didn't notice because she was too busy slapping him.

For a few brief minutes Maddox was flying, unable to wrap his head around the unexpected bliss that came with Tatiana's presence, and her every touch showed him a glimpse of Heaven.

It all came suddenly, and it collapsed in an instant and... Now what?

...

"Tanya?", Kalina called when she saw Tatiana walking down the hallway.

After comparing their notes in the garden, the women concluded that they needed many things and only a mall will do. The mall is in the human town, so Maya will drive a van in order for all of them to go together and chat during the ride.

When Talia returned from the kitchen, guys headed for training, and the girls dispersed to get their necessities before heading for shopping. That's why Kalina was in here and she definitely didn't expect to see her newly-mated sister.

"You still didn't leave?", Tatiana asked.

"No. We are about to.", Kalina responded before glancing behind Tatiana and asking suspiciously, "Why are you here? What happened with Alpha Maddox?"

Tatiana didn't want to worry her baby sister. She would usually keep her problems to herself, but this situation caught her unprepared and Kalina already saw that something was off.

What should she say? That things got all hot and steamy but before they got to the main part, she saw two sluts in Maddox's room and her temper flared?

Before Tatiana could come up with a response to Kalina's questions, two women wrapped in towels dashed next to them, down the stairs, and out of the packhouse.

Kalina's face darkened as she realized, "Did those two come out of Alpha Maddox's room?"

Tatiana's silence was an answer to Kalina's question.

Rage rippled through Kalina as she was not used to controlling the aura that was waking up within her after Tony marked her.

"Lina", Tatiana called softly. "Don't. Let's go shopping."

Kalina looked at her sister with concern. "Are you sure?"

Tatiana nodded. "It's suffocating here. I need to get out. Shopping therapy might help me settle my emotions. Let's not alarm others…"

Kalina pressed her lips into a line. Easier said than done. Did Tatiana really think that Mindy won't figure out something was wrong when Tatiana shows up?

And it was not just Mindy. Maya, Talia, and Meg were also confused to see Tatiana join them for shopping.

Tatiana didn't say anything, but Kalina shared how they saw two naked women clutching towels around themselves and scampering out of Alpha Maddox's room.

In line with Kalina's expectations, Mindy was outraged.

Kalina and Maya stuffed Mindy in the van so that she doesn't make a scene.

Mindy wanted to go to Maddox and give him a beating. At least verbally.

Maya was driving, so Meg joined Kalina in holding Mindy down until they passed by Darkbourne. After that, they released Mindy since she calmed a bit.

Seeing that everyone was really concerned, Tatiana's heart warmed, and she told them briefly what happened in Maddox's room.

'Is Tanya with you?', Maddox's voice sounded in Mindy's head through the mind-link.

'You are an asshole!', Mindy hissed back.

Maddox snorted irritably. 'Is Tanya with you? Mindy! Talk to me! You…'

Mindy shut down the mind-link. He messed up and she was angry. Why should she help him?

Dumb brother! How can he forget that he has two women in his room?

He should be grateful that Tatiana didn't reject his sorry ass on the spot.

THIS is why Mindy didn't want to be mated to an Alpha. They are all bunch of lecherous snobs who always get what they want.

Since he entered his teens, Maddox was playing around, leaving a trail of heartbroken (and deflowered) girls wherever he passed but for him, that was part of the routine and the woman who is (un)fortunate to be his mate should just ignore his repugnant past because he is THE Alpha who deserves all that while woman needs to suck it up.

Mindy walked in on Maddox with other women so many times that it became normal. No space was sacred.

Mindy often advised him to scale down on sleeping around, but nooooo, her brother is the mighty Alpha Maddox who can do whatever he feels like. Well, he can do whatever he wants now.

Mindy looked guiltily at Tatiana. "I am so sorry…"

"Don't.", Tatiana interrupted Mindy.

None of that was Mindy's fault, and Tatiana really didn't want to think about Maddox or about two women who emerged from his bathroom, or about his messy bed which had traces of a rowdy night Maddox spent with two women.

Sure, Tatiana didn't expect him to be a virgin. Even if he is not an Alpha, it would be normal that he had women in his life before they met. But she definitely didn't expect that his hookups were right there!

The delightful sparks of their bond messed with her reasoning and she allowed herself to be carried away.

Unfortunately, while Maddox was working on undressing Tatiana, two naked women were waiting on the side. What were they waiting for? To jump with them in the sack? Would Maddox welcome them? Bastard.

And even if those two were not there, Maddox wanted to claim her on the same bed that is drenched in his bodily fluids mixed with whatever those two hussies left behind.

Is that how one treats his mate?

Tatiana heard stories about mates, how their first time should be special, and her mate will cherish her forever, but Maddox made her feel worse than shit.

Will she be able to look at Maddox and not remember the horrible first impression?

What are her options?

Should she just reject this mate bond and move on with her life?
