Alaric's POV
My thirtieth birthday was a grand celebration held in the castle. All the residents worked hard to make the day memorable, and I was genuinely grateful for their efforts.
My Betas, Andreas and Barrett, presented me with the most incredible gift: a beautiful building perched on a nearby hill. This new space would allow me to observe the sky in peace whenever I wanted. Not many werewolves knew about my deep interest in astronomy, but now I had a dedicated place where I could escape for a while and indulge in my hobby.
One of the generous gifts I received was a beautiful golden watch from Morgana, my father's widow. Although it was a regular watch, its actual value lay in the fact that it once belonged to my father. Morgana had taken care of it all these years, stating that my father had intended to give it to me on my thirtieth birthday.
Morgana was only thirty-eight, but she looked much younger and could easily pass for someone in her twenties. Her strong physique could make any teenage she-wolf envious, and her long blonde hair and blue eyes, combined with her delicate features and slender figure, gave her a stunning appearance. I considered her my best friend rather than my stepmother.
The only thing I didn’t particularly like about her was her belief that she had witch-like abilities. She often tried to predict the future, and I couldn't help but laugh at that.
Even though I anticipated that this day would be different, the wolf inside my mind felt frustrated all day. I decided to let him out in the afternoon, allowing him to run free for a while, hoping it would help calm him down. It worked temporarily, but only for a few hours.
As the evening progressed, the celebration organised by the castle residents caught my wolf’s attention, and he joined in the festivities just like I did, revelling in the happiness of the occasion.
As the night grew late and I started to feel tired from the many cups of wine I had consumed, I hadn’t realised that Emma had one more surprise in store for me.
"Emma, I am about to arrive at my room. I request that Gia come to my room this evening," I mind-linked to her.
I wondered who I would like to spend some time with before going to sleep, but since Gia was the first she-wolf who agreed to satisfy me, I thought she could make me happy on my birthday. I was surprised when Emma responded to me.
"Of course, Alpha. Would you mind if I surprised you on this big day?" I laughed. "Of course not. Surprise me!" I answered, and even though I was curious about what she had for me, what surprised me was my wolf. He began to feel frustrated, just as he had that afternoon, and I didn't understand why.
I removed my clothes, leaving only my loincloth, and poured myself a cup of wine. I was about to mind-link with Emma again when Barrett mind-linked with me. She was at my door.
My eyes widened in surprise when Emma entered with a she-wolf I had never met before. The wind blowing through the open door brought her delicious scent into the room, making me shiver for a moment.
Even though I couldn't take my eyes off her, I couldn't resist the urge inside my mind that wanted to push me closer to her immediately. "Alpha Alaric, please accept my birthday gift for you. This is Corinna."
Even though her intoxicating scent drew me in, I couldn't ignore her trembling figure. She seemed scared to be there; perhaps she was even afraid of me. I wanted to comfort her, despite her being just a gamma.
I hoped that after a bit of wine, she would relax a little, but it didn't seem to be enough. I stood up and decided to give her a massage, even if I had never done that before to any she-wolves who were to satisfy me. Touching her soft skin made me want to taste her. The picture of her moaning under me made my member erect like never before. My wolf wanted to take the lead and tried to have her immediately, and it took me a great effort to hold him back from making me lose it.
When I sensed that Corinna was a bit more relaxed, I found it was the perfect time to take her to bed.
Her stronger physique was unfamiliar to me, as I had only had weak omegas in my bed before, but still holding her in my arms pleased me.
When I saw her naked body and her eyes filled with desire, I knew it was time. However, there was something I hadn't experienced before. When she screamed out of pain, I felt sorry for her, and I only hoped that it would be better for her soon. I wanted her to enjoy every single minute that she spent with me, but when I felt her inner walls clench my s*x, I lost it completely, and I experienced an incredible, intense orgasm that I have never felt before.
As I calmed down, I buried my head in her neck, and all I wanted was for her to hug me, but it seemed like she hesitated to move.
I kept my member inside her until it became softer and slipped out of her. Only then did I move off her and lie on my back. I was staring at the ceiling, but my thoughts were lost elsewhere. My wolf was calmed now. It was like he had longed for this good s*x only, and now that he climaxed with me, calmed down, and wanted to sleep.
However, he felt frustrated again when I asked Emma through mindlink to let her know she could escort Corinna back to her room.
She arrived shortly afterwards, and Corinna looked at her in surprise as she draped her gown over her and gently assisted her out of bed. For some reason, I didn't want her to go, but I knew I couldn't allow her to sleep in the same bed as me.
As I accidentally glanced at her before they stepped out of the room, it felt like a kick in my chest. I wasn't certain, but it seemed like her eyes were teary.
I took a deep breath and turned onto my side. My wolf was calmed, but I sensed disappointment in him as well. It took me a while to fall asleep that night.
