In The Arms Of The Bad Boy Alpha
Chapter 48

Beta Levi's POV

I was cutting wood for a bonfire and waiting for Leo's mom Julie. She went to meet Leo's mate Lily when she had learned that everything was finally going well between them. She wanted to meet her son's mate. She had taken way too many things for her as gifts. I knew she would not be returning home any time soon, as she would talk to her daughter in law for at least two hours, so I was passing my time until she came back. I also wanted to go but I could not. Alpha Gabriel had left the pack for some business, so I was the one in charge.

That was when I heard the sound of Julie's car, I knew she was back in the pack. I was shocked. Why was she back so soon? I ran towards her when I felt her panic. She was panicked. She opened the door and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back. She was crying. "Julie, what's wrong? I thought you went to meet Leo's mate so why are you back here in this panic?" I asked, still hugging her. She shook her head looking at me.

"Levi," she started to say, and I nodded my head

"Yes, tell me?" I said, wiping her tears.

"I saw a girl entering the shop," She continued, still crying.

"Okay, so?" I asked again.

"She...she looks like Amber!" Julie cried clutching my clothes.

"What? That girl looked like Amber?" I wondered in disbelief, she nodded her head.

"Yes, for a second I thought that Amber was in front of me but no, she was a young girl. I felt as she was Amber's daughter," Julie divulged, I pulled her into a hug. She was not able to hold in her emotions.

"Okay, calm down," I tried to comfort her, but she did not.

"No! How can I? You do not believe me right? You think that I'm crazy," She shouted at me.

"No! I believe you and I will go myself to see that girl with Alpha when he comes back," I reassured her but she was still in panic. I held on to her but my heart was restless. If what Julie's words turned out to be true then who had died on that day? lan's P.O.V

I stopped my car in front of the pack house.I had to come back because my father, the Alpha, had called me urgently, but due to some problem I had in another city during these past two days I had been delayed. In reality it was a punishment, father intentionally gave me this work so that he could send me out of the city as I was burning in rage when I had discovered that Bella had not disappeared from the club out of the blue, but rather she had lied saying that she was not feeling well and went home. When my Beta had checked the CCTV cameras he told me that she was with Asher for at least an hour in the men's bathroom of the club, when he brought her out she was passed out.

I had worked hard to get her to come to the club, I even had a spell cast on her so that she would not push me away and give herself to me without any drama. I was going crazy and had finally decided to kill him as he had f****d her again. He again touched her. I don't know how father came to learn about my strategy for killing Asher and attacking his pack, but father used his Alpha tone on me and sent me to another city for two days. I was furious, but I had to follow his orders, but then he called me today. I entered the pack house going straight into my father's office. When I entered he was waiting for me sitting behind his desk with his Beta beside him.

"Alpha," I said bowing my head in front of my father first then to his Beta.

"Beta Lucas. Long time no see," I drawled to him, intentionally calling him Beta. He gave me a big smile as always.

"Hope you are doing well, my angry Alpha lan," Beta Lucas returned, I narrowed my eyes at him. He must have learned about my fury when I was going to attack Asher's pack. At that time he had not returned to the pack.

"Uncle. Please don't treat me like a child. I am nineteen now," I reminded him as he came towards me to give me a big hug. I also hugged him back, as I was seeing my uncle for the first time in six months. He had been out of the pack on important work that was given to him by my father, he was searching for her, he had succeeded too. Yes he was my uncle. Younger brother of my father. My uncle was the Beta.

"Yes, you have grown up, but you need to learn some patience my boy. I have discovered that you are going to attack Asher for Bella," Uncle Lucas admonished, I nodded my head. I heard the angry growl of my father, lowering my head. He was still upset with me as I was planning to attack them.

"Sorry father." I apologized again while Uncle Lucas chuckled watching what was going on between father and me.

"Now please stop teasing lan, Alpha and quickly give him good news" Uncle Lucas commented, I was puzzled. "What good news father?" I asked, walking closer to him.

"Go and bring your bride to this pack," Father commanded, my jaw dropped at his words.

"What? Are you serious, dad? Can I really bring Bella here?" I inquired, he nodded with a proud smile.

"Yes," He replied.

"But why did you stop me before, dad? I could have just kidnapped her the day I went to see her in my wolf form. She had noticed me and became frightened. I just can not stop myself from marking her as mine," I admitted as father got up from his seat. "Yes you could, but everything has a time and a place. That girl doesn't even know who she is. She doesn't even know where she is going to end up. Even Lucas could drag her here alive, but as I said everything has a special time. I could see Alpha Gabriel's son Asher is quite interested in that girl as you said so how about snatching the girl out from under his nose. It will be a lot more fun than k********g her. I also came into some information earlier, that she is leaving the city tomorrow. As she will go to the bus station, but will not reach a different city as she is going to become a bonded bride of yours," Dad explained, I smiled while listening to him.

"Finally the day has come. I have desired her since my childhood, now it's the end of my waiting," I crowed, Uncle Lucas nodded his head.

"Yeah, go and bring that girl here. Now it's time to end this game of hide and seek. Lucas had already found Amber who hid her daughter for the past eighteen years from this world keeping her as a human, but Lucas found her again a few days ago then informed me. It is because of that I called you back here to the town as your bride was already in this city. She didn't even know that she was in the place where her mother took her and escaped from," Father chided, I had an evil smile on my face.

"Bella.... be ready to become my bride. Tonight you are going to regret when you let Asher take your virginity," I vowed with a laugh. Father and Uncle Lucas were also laughing as I clenched my palm. Today I was going to tear her apart by f*****g her. I would kidnap her from the farewell party.

Bella's P.O.V

"I think that you should change it into the red one," Victoria suggested to Lily.

"What do you think Bella?" She asked me while I was deep in thought.

"I think Victoria is right. The design is beautiful, but it should be red," I remarked. Lily looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a pink one piece that was adorable on her.

"The way you are looking at yourself I think you like it. Then it's okay. No need to change," I urged, she sat on the sofa in front of me with a long face.

"No, actually you are right. I do not look beautiful, I only look cute in this color. I like pink, but I do not want to look cute. I want to look like a stunning woman for Leo," She admitted the last line unconsciously, when she realized that she had actually said it loudly she could not hide her blush.

"Woman?" Victoria asked, poking Lily to the level that she was giggling.

"Yeah," Lily replied, finally admitting it out loud intentionally. Victoria stopped or she was not going to stop her teasing.

"Okay, so let's find something that makes you look like a woman. A beautiful woman." Victoria specified, we all searched for a suitable dress for Lily.

"Bella, Victoria, I want this one." Lily announced, pointing towards the dress that a dummy was wearing. I followed her direction, I was amazed to see its beauty.

"Wow! It's really beautiful. Please try it on for me Lily." Victoria pleaded, pushing her in the changing room. Victoria and I sat on the couch while waiting for her. After a few minutes she came out and we both looked at her with disbelief.

"Oh my god Lily. You are looking absolutely gorgeous!" I exclaimed, getting up from my seat to touch her dress. I looked all around her. It was a blue Disney princess gown.It made her look like a princess. As everyone needs to wear something special tonight she decided to wear this gown.

"Really?" She asked, looking shy. Victoria and I both nodded our heads.

"Yeah, it also shows how big and beautiful your boobs are. Leo might just jump on you," Victoria joked, I laughed listening to her. I remembered Leo and Lily last night in the store when he was trying to touch her boobs. She also laughed shyly.

"Looking at your preparation, I do not know why, but I feel as if you are planning to f**k Leo tonight," Victoria concluded out of the blue, I was shocked. Lily's face turned red like a tomato as she was not expecting something like this. "No, you are thinking wrong," Lily protested immediately. I tried hard to stop my laughter, but I could not.

"Don't be shy Lily. It's normal, he is your mate and one day it will happen so why not today?" She said, rolling her eyes, taking her seat on the couch back. Victoria was a werewolf so she did not feel any kind of shame talking about s*x, but I could understand Lily as I had also lived my eighteen years like a human. I have mated with Asher, but still I feel uncomfortable in this matter. When he looks into my eyes I feel lust and when he looks at my body I feel shy.

"Will you buy it?" I asked her, she nodded her head with another blush. I did not know why she was blushing so much, but I was sure that she was thinking about Leo.

"But what about you?" Lily and Victoria both asked me, I rubbed my cheeks. I looked all over the place, this store was full of girl's clothes. We were in the shopping mall and would soon need to go to the farewell party.

"Honestly I am not sure. A simple dress was enough for me, but I do not know why the senior wanted us to wear something special. I really do not have any idea what I should wear." I confessed, looking at the dresses as Victoria and Lily were helping me. "You should also buy a princess gown," Lilly suggested. I like this idea.

"No you cannot. According to the rules no one's clothes should match with each other so you need to buy something different from Lily," Victoria reminded us. I felt reassured because if she were not with me then I would have bought the same gown as Lily and wasted my money. It was good that Lily and I decided to bring Victoria with us shopping. She was guiding us.

"Then it is a big problem, what will you wear Bella?" Lily asked, I decided to check on the other floors.

"We need to be quick girl's, we only have an hour and a half and in that time you also need to go to the parlor for make-up and hair." Victoria advised, I nodded my head.

"I think I should just pick up something random. It is not like they are coming to see me. It is the farewell party for the seniors so everyone will look at them," I said, picking up a gown, Lily and Victoria both slapped my hand.

"Ouch!!!" I exclaimed, looking at both of them angrily. They really hit me hard.

"What was that for?" I asked angrily, they both pushed me back on the couch.

"No need to bother, Luna. Please let this servant serve you," Victoria urged, suddenly acting like a servant in front of me and calling me Luna.

"Stop with the drama Victoria." I grumbled, she gave me a big smile.

"Okay, but please wait here, leave everything in the hands of Lily and I," She said, walking out to the floor and I was still sitting there. I had nothing to do so I was just looking for other clothes. Fifteen minutes had passed, but neither of them had come back. I could not understand where the hell they had both gone?

"Did she not say we only had an hour and a half?" I muttered, taking a deep tired breath. Shopping was fun, but at the same time it was a pain in the a*s when you did not know what you needed to buy!

"Bella!!" I heard Victoria and Lily call me together, as I looked over my shoulder my jaw dropped as I saw what they were holding for me. I looked the dress up and down with disbelief. It was stunning, but do they even know what they brought for me?!!! "No!" Was the only word that came out of my mouth.

"Yes!!!" Lily and Victoria both urged together pushing me into the changing room with the dress, this was the end for me. Not once in my whole life could I have believed that I would ever be able to wear this dress, especially when I was going to be rejected by my mate later this evening.

Asher's P.O.V

"If you continue to lay there like a lazy a*s then you are going to ruin your suit. Come on get up quickly now," David prodded me. It had been half an hour and I was still laying on this couch. I was not in the mood to go to the farewell party, but they were both pressuring me to change my clothes. I had but I still had not agreed to go with them.

"Let's go." Leo said, fixing his hair. I moved my hand that was covering my eyes, glancing at both of them up to down.

"Well don't you two jerks clean up nice. Don't f**k your mates too much at the school. Save something for when you're home too." I taunted both of them as I was very well aware of what was going on in the mind of my devilish cousin and Beta.

"Oh my god Alpha! How do you know?" Leo asked, taking a seat right in front of me, I sat up on the couch giving him a side smile.

"Your excitement and the fantasy that you are having in your mind is telling me everything," I replied while Leo blushed at my words. His face was too easy to read.

"Yeah I am thinking about her like crazy, it's so bad that I jerked off this morning two times," Leo admitted and we all laughed.

"It seems that today you are going to rock your mate's world in bed. Oh...don't moan loudly or others will hear you in the school," David commented and Leo narrowed his eyes at him.

"What about you? Are you not going to bang Victoria? Oh sorry I forgot you have already mated and you must be planning to make a baby tonight," Leo corrected, we both laughed at him. David was silent for a few seconds. He sat on the couch with a serious face for a few moments. Leo looked at me then to David.

"Hey David, don't take my words personally. I was just saying," Leo apologized to him, thinking that he had hurt or offended him by saying something like that. David shook his head and looked at both of us.

"No, actually I was thinking about how many babies I want to have." David announced with a serious face, Leo and I both kicked his a*s hard. We all laughed together like crazy for at least five minutes to think about everything, whatever that fantasy was pertaining to our mates.

"But seriously Asher, why do you not want to come? If our Alpha does not join the party then why the hell would we go?" Leo asked as I stared up at the ceiling.

"I just don't want..." I started to reply then remembered Bella. She would also be at the party, she was coming there to get my rejection. I was laughing now, but inside my heart I was experiencing pure agony. I had been feeling like this since yesterday, I could not sleep, all I thought about was what to do today. Honestly my wolf was depressed as he knew about the rejection. I sat on the couch with Leo and David.

"Don't stay here because of me go enjoy your farewell party. I am going to stay here," I decide, getting up from the couch, tossing my coat and shirt in a pile, totally destroying it's once crisp wrinkle free lines.

"But if you don't go then I won't go," Leo argued, he was being stubborn again.

"ME TOO!" David shouted, I looked at both of them. They had crossed their arms over their chest and gave me annoyed looks. I just gave them a big smile and they moved away from me as they knew what I was going to do. "No! Don't do it Asher! I will not go," Leo started to say, but I had made up my mind.

"I order both of you to leave my house and attend the farewell party right now," I commanded, using my Alpha tone, they both had to bow their heads in front of me. Their wolves submitting immediately. I went to my room peeking out the window. Leo and David were very angry with me, but they were following orders. They sat in their cars and left my house. I just chuckled, throwing my body on the bed. I stared up at the ceiling again while I was thinking about Bella. Last night she did not let me speak. I knew that she was thinking that I was going to reject her right then and there. Every word that had come out of her mouth had killed me. I have been suffering from this torment since I left her. The word rejection has become a needle that was not letting me rest in peace. Why does she want to run away from me?

"Because you are the one who has continually pushed her away, now she has made up her mind to give up on us. This was what I was always afraid of," Ross spoke up in my mind, he was absolutely furious with me. He was livid and to prove his point he tortured me the whole night by counting how many times I had hurt her with my words and actions since we had met. That was when I realized how wrong I had been. Not only had I called her a disgusting lone wolf, but I had also called her a poor lone wolf. I made her cry and beg for her precious necklace. I made her cry countless times due to my jerky attitude. I hurt her the most when she asked me if I would call her my girlfriend just for her body, not to mention all of the s**t that happened because of Jessica. It was all so incredibly messed up.

"Ugh..." I gritted my teeth in frustration and punched the bed. It all happened because of those f*****g photos. But wait!

"Ross..." I called my wolf, he lifted his head, but otherwise ignored me.

"Ross..." I called him again, but he refused to pay attention.

"ROSS!!!" I shouted at him.

"WHAT!!!" He shouted back.

"Why did Bella decide to leave the city after seeing my photo with Jessica?" I asked him, he rolled his eyes.

"It's obvious that if we were with another woman any mate would get jealous," He replied in a bored tone. "What? Jealous?" I asked, thinking about that day. She was really hurt, after that she was talking about rejection. "What are you thinking?" I wondered as he took a deep breath.

"I am thinking about what she is wearing today," He replied, his words also made me think. I licked my lips thinking about what she was wearing under her dress. What color the panties were that she was wearing, that I would tear off when I would f**k her. "WHAT?! f**k HER?!! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT SHE IS WAITING FOR YOUR REJECTION?!!" Ross shouted, glaring at me again. I threw the pillow in frustration as I buried my face in the bed.

"Now what are you thinking about again?" I asked him, he took another deep breath, but it was different from the last one.

"We are here," He grumbled.

"I know." I replied quickly.

"Bella is there," He said.

"Tell me something new," Not able to keep the sarcasm from my voice.

"lan is also there," He reminded me, causing my eyes to fly wide open.

"f**k!" I shouted, jumping off my bed running out of my bedroom.

Bella's P.O.V

Lily was sitting beside me in the car while Victoria was driving, I was watching everything go by out of the window. We took too much time in the parlour as there were three of us that had to get ready, but we managed to do it. I was now looking out at the beautiful scenery of the city for the last time. This would be my last time here and after I have left I would never come back again.

"Lena," I called, mind-linking my wolf.

"Yes," She replied. I could hear how her voice was full of grief.

"I'm sorry," I apologized. I could feel her shaking her head in my mind.

"No, I have also made up my mind. If we forcefully throw ourselves at our mate then he would be in pain from the guilt. It would just be even more painful for all of us. I understood it all, but I do not have the courage to accept his rejection," Lena revealed, my eyes were full of tears, but I didn't let a single one fall. That was when I realized that it was this morning that Lena had a change of heart and had agreed that she would accept the rejection. I had not pressured her. I was intentionally keeping my face towards the window so that Lily would not see me. I quickly wiped my eyes and opened the window for fresh air.

"We are here, ladies," Victoria announced, stopping her car in the school car park. As the car came to a halt I saw David open the car door for Victoria as Leo did the same for Lily. Their mates offered their hands to them as they walked out. I looked at my hands. He was not here for me. It was the first stage of rejection. I didn't know how I was going to be able to bear more.

"Bella," I heard David and Leo. They both opened the door for me with big smiles.

"Please join us," They coaxed. I smiled at them. As I got out they both were looking at me up and down. I rubbed my cheeks with nervousness. I knew I should not have worn it. Victoria elbowed David in annoyance.

"Oh... sorry. I was just amazed." He said and I laughed.

"You look absolutely stunning tonight, Luna." Leo commented and I smiled, but why was he still calling me Luna. All of this was not letting me do anything for a moment. "Let's go." They all agreed.

"Please you all go first. I will follow you all soon," I assured them because of me they were not able to hold hands like they wanted to. I was the fifth wheel between them
