Alpha Blake novel Chapter 7

　　Selene 

　　Blake returned earlier than usual from what I thought today. Usually, when he says he has a meeting, he is gone all day. But today he returned mid-day, and he looked a bit disconcerting. 

　　"Hi, Ty, hi sweetheart. Are you hungry? Would you like me to make you something to eat?" I asked genuinely happy, standing from my seat to greet both.

　　I kissed Ty on his cheek, and he returned the gesture by placing his hand over mine and giving me a warm, but melancholic smile in return. I squint my eyes a bit, narrowing my eyebrows. 

　　He looked away and walked towards Jazzy, kneeling down before her. He turned her chair a bit and hugged her around her waist. She wrapped her hands around him, glancing over me with the same curious concern I had in the pit of my stomach. 

　　I smiled at Blake, although he didn't return the smile. He simply looked down to conceal the frustration written over his face. He held out a hand I immediately took it, as he pulled me close to him engulfing me with a tight hug around my waist. He placed his face around my neck, inhaling deep, and kissing me on my mark.

　　"Baby what's wrong? Did something bad happen? What's going on Blake?" I whispered, making him tighten his grasp on me. I took a big sigh, wrapping my arms over his neck, holding him tight.

　　I don't know how long we were there hugging, but I didn't pull away. I simply enjoyed the moment. If it was something that made him feel better, then I'd stay there until he needed me to be.

　　It must have been a good ten or fifteen minutes before he finally decided to pull away. We had not noticed that Jazzy and Ty had left until Blake pulled away from the hug.

　　I cupped his face and tried to see into his eyes. My wolf and I could feel that there was something wrong. I kissed his lips gently. Pecking him lightly, before he embraced me again and deepened the kiss.

　　He took me in his arms holding me bridal style and walked back into the house heading straight into my old room.

　　"Blake, why did you bring me back in this room? What's going on?" I asked completely confused as he gently put me down. 

　　He looked around the room, over every detail of the room, and then stopped his gaze on the bed. He took a long sigh and placed his hands on his hips.

　　"Selene, if there was a secret I was withholding against you.... you'd want me to tell you right?" He asked as he began to pace around the room.

　　I crossed my hands, tilted my head to the side without averting my gaze away from him.

　　"I,... I guess, yes. I suppose I'd want you to tell me. Blake, what's this about? Is there something you need to tell me or ask me?" My heart began to raise. I didn't like where this was going.

　　"The meeting I had today. It was, to meet with the elders." He calmly said as he kept at a steady pace.

　　"Oh.... and what business did you have to discuss with them?" I asked, my hands became clammy and my voice shaky. 

　　" A very, important matter.... do you have any idea what that matter could be Selene?" He asked as he made his way slowly towards me. Making me back up until I hit the dresser behind me, he was now with his face just inches away from me.

　　He propped forward to have his face against mine since he was a good whole foot taller than I was.

　　"N-n-no, I h-have no idea, Blake.." I said my voice breaking as I gripped the dresser behind me with dear life. Even Hazel was whimpering and had herself propped in the ground in submission. 

　　"Seriously Haze, this is not the time for us to act like a coward. " I said to her.

　　"Well, any guesses?" He asked as he continued to pace again, making me take a deep sigh. I crossed my arms around me, hugging myself for comfort. 

　　" No Blake, I don't know, honestly. "

　　He gazed over from where he was standing in front of my closet. He closed his eyes and ran his hands through his hair. His beautiful dark, silky hair I loved touching all the time.

　　DAMN IT, focus woman, this isn't the time to fantasize about your husband. 

　　" Selene, are you keeping any secrets from me?" My eyes became wide with shock, 'shit, does he know something he shouldn't have known about?'

　　"A secret maybe you weren't supposed to tell anyone or anyone? Are you sure you are not keeping secrets from me, Selene? From your husband, your Alpha?" He said, his voice becoming more demanding as he began to use his alpha tone on me. He made his way towards me, slowly, until he was in front of me again. 

　　He placed his hands on both sides of me, placing them on top of the dresser, making me slouch down, my back curved towards the dresser as his body hovered over me. 

　　He took a big inhale as he moved his face over my neck and sucked carefully on my mark making me whimper softly.

　　"Well? I can smell your fear, and uncertainty to say anything to me, my dear wife... Is there something you want to say to me?" He asked, I bit my lip, a tear trying to make itself present in both of my eyes.

　　"Blake..... I." I started

　　"Yes....?" He asked, he traced my lips softly with his lower lip. It grazed me softly, feather-like, but still.... sent electric-like shocks throughout my whole body.

　　I took a long hard gulp. "I, I wasn't there at your meeting. So I wouldn't know what you guys talked about, would I? And no, I don't think I am keeping any secrets from you Blake." I said as fast as I could utter out, without looking at him directly. 

　　"Bull shit, Selene." He yelled, running his right fist fiercely on top of the surface of the dresser, making the few things left there topple over. It caught me off guard making me flinch.

　　He clenched his jaw, closing his eyes for a second. He moved his head in a circular motion, I could hear his bones crack. He tried to fight his wolf from merging, his eyes fought from brown to black. 

　　I had never been so intimidated by anyone as he made me feel just now. I slowly ran my hand through his chest, and stop just midway through his neck. I cupped his cheek with my other hand.

　　"Blake." My voice hitched. I knew exactly what he was talking about. How he found out or what the circumstances came, for him to know, were unknown to me. But I wasn't sure if he was prepared to know everything I have gone through these past five years without him by my side.

　　I held his shirt tight, my eyes became glossy and I closed them to fight back the tears, only to seamlessly find the tears had a mind of their own, falling profusely down my cheeks.

　　"Blake, I'm sorry. I can't. " I said.

　　"You don't need to, I already know." He said as he backed away, going straight to my closet. My eyes became wide and my mouth gawked openly.

　　It's as if he'd read my mind to what was in that closet. He went straight to it, turned on the light, and searched around for a bit. He then went to the top shelf, noticing the leather-wrapped case, and gripped it firmly, grabbing it and tossing it on top of the bed. 

　　It made the small leather string become undone, exposing my katana and its harness casing. 

　　"Forget the fact, that I am your alpha,.... still want to keep denying about keeping secrets to you husband?"
