ORTEGA: THE ALPHA’S HUMAN MATE

The room fell into a grave silence as Derrick and his twin brother stood face-to-face, glaring daggers at each other. The room was as quiet as a graveyard, and even the tiniest drop of a needle would be heard loud and clear.

They kept glaring at each other without saying a word. The look on their faces was deadly enough to scare off even the bravest man in earth.

“So, you’re ready to go against me just because of a human, huh?” Derrick finally broke the long silence.

“Yes Derrick, I’m ready to go against you as long as it is for Ortega.” Merrick replied in a cold and mean voice.

His eyes were blue while Derrick’s eyes were red.

“I know you care a lot about those puny and weak humans, but you seem to care more about this human woman named Ortega….” Derrick paused. “Have you perhaps fallen in love with her or do you have feelings for her?”

“Whether I love Ortega or have feelings of her, that’s none of your goddamn business, Derrick.” Merrick replied, and Derrick smirked angrily. “What should you be concerned about is your marriage with Felicia and nothing else.” Merrick added.

A deep frown appeared on Derrick’s face when Merrick mentioned marriage.

“I’m warning you for the last time, Merrick. I don’t wanna see you close to Ortega. She’s mine and she’ll forever be mine.” Derrick said.

“Derrick, as long as Ortega isn’t your mate, I’ll never stay away from her. You can trust me on that.” Merrick replied, and Derrick’s blood started boiling.

He was about to punch Merrick when they heard a knock on the door.

“Don’t make me do something you’ll later regret, Merrick.” Derrick said through gritted teeth. “You know how dangerous I am when it comes to my property. I won’t think twice before killing you if you dare lay your hands on what belongs to me.” He added, and Merrick scoffed.

“And you also know how dangerous I can be when it comes to protecting something or someone I care about.” Merrick replied. “So watch out for me cause I won’t let you have Ortega all to yourself as if she’s your mate.”

Derrick glared at Merrick as he walked to the door. He felt like tearing him apart but he knew that’d be impossible because Merrick was also as powerful as him.

Merrick opened the door and he saw Felicia standing with a tray of food in her hands. She was wearing a black gown which hugged her slender body perfectly.

She had a brown hair which stopped at her shoulder with alluring glossed lips and a perfectly sculptured face.

One word can describe her, she was pretty. Pretty without any make-up on. She was as natural as sunlight and smelt amazing too.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Good morning, Lord Merrick.” Felicia greeted, bowing her head in respect.

“Morning lady Felicia.” Merrick replied with a smile across his face. “Trust you had a great night.”

“Yeah, I did.” Felicia nodded affirmatively. “What about you?”

“I had a very lovely night. Thanks for asking.” Merrick replied, and he glanced at the tray of food in Felicia’s hands.

“Is that for my twin brother?” He asked, pointing at the tray of food.

“Yes. I prepared breakfast for him.” She nodded.

“Alright. See you later.” Merrick said before walking away.

Felicia saw Derrick inside his chamber through the opened door and she exhaled sharply before walking in.

“Good morning, alpha Derrick.” She greeted, but Derrick ignored her greeting, instead he walked to a table and picked up a box of cigarette.

Felicia remained on her spot, watching as Derrick took out a stick of cigarette from the box and clamped it with his lips before lighting it with a lighter.

“I.. I brought breakfast for you, alpha.” Felicia said with a smile across her face.

Derrick puffed out rings of smoke from his cigarette as he stared at Felicia with a blank expression on his face.

He gazed at her body and he felt a sudden stab of desire and lust rushing through him. When she first stepped inside his chamber, he wanted send her away, but he changed his mind when he saw that she had a great body.

Her hair was hung loose to her shoulders in a sensational wavy length. She’s got curves in the right places and you can tell her thighs led up to paradise if you kept thinking about it.

Her eyes were small and seductively inviting. and her breasts stood firmly on her chest.

All these qualities made Derrick horny and he made up his mind that she won’t leave his room without having sex with her.

Felicia felt nervous with the way he was staring at her. She lowered her head to avoid his lustful gaze.

Derrick shifted his eyes to the tray of food in her hands and he smirked before walking closer to her.

Felicia swallowed nothing as Derrick stood in front of her, blowing out the rich smoke of his cigarette which made her cough.

“Did you prepare this food by yourself?” He asked in a deep and masculine voice, and she raised her head to look at his cold yet handsome face.

“Yes alpha, I prepared this specially food for you.” She replied with a wide smile.

“And who asked you to prepare it?” Derrick questioned.

“No one.” Felicia replied, shaking her head.

“Why did you prepare my breakfast when the maids could have done it?” Derrick asked after taking another drag from his cigarette.

Felicia wondered why Derrick was asking her these questions, but she wasn’t offended by his questions. Instead she was glad that he was talking to her.

“I prepared breakfast for you because I…” She paused and swallowed the lump which formed in her throat.

Standing close to someone as handsome and powerful as Derrick made her so nervous, but she tried to compose herself.

“You what, Felicia?” Derrick asked, stepping closer to her with a devilish smirk across his face.

Hearing her name from his mouth gave her butterflies. Her cheeks turned red and she looked away, almost as if hiding the blush on her face before returning her look back to him.

“Answer me, Felicia. Why did you prepare breakfast for me?” Derrick asked again, covering the distance between them.

“I.. I prepared it be.. because I love you.” She stuttered, her heart racing fast at their closeness.

“You love me?” Derrick asked, his smirk widening.

“Yes.” Felicia nodded shyly.

Derrick took his cigarette to his lips and he drew in hard on it, puffing out a huge amount of smoke in the air.

Before Felicia could blink her eyes, Derrick grabbed the tray of food for from her hands and threw it on the ground.

“Why did you do that, alpha?” Felicia asked, glancing at the wasted food on the ground.

“Because that’s not the type of breakfast I want this morning.” Derrick grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to himself, making her gasp sharply.

Their bodies were now pressing against each other and their faces were inches apart.

“And what type of breakfast do you want, alpha?” Felicia asked with a seductive smile as she traced his chest with her fingers.

“This type of breakfast.” Derrick replied, and he speedily undressed her, then he swiftly carried her to the bed. Immediately he laid her on the bed, he started fucking her lustfully.

•••••••••••••

Ortega was just stepping out of the bathroom, draped in a white towel.

She sauntered towards the dressing table and grabbed her body lotion to apply, then she started applying the lotion on her spotless skin.

When she was done applying the lotion, she wore her bra and pant, then she she walked to the bed to pick up the maid’s uniform she took off earlier.

She threw on the uniform and she also wore a pair of brown sandals which were given to her by Agatha, the kingdom’s healer.

She sauntered back to the dressing table to pick up a comb and when she was about to start brushing her hair, the door opened.

Priscilla walked inside the room and she quietly closed the door behind her.

“Ortega, where have you been?, I was worried about you throughout the night. Where did you go?” She asked Ortega who was busy brushing her messy hair.

Ortega let out a soft sigh and dropped the comb on the table before turning her neck sideways to look at Ortega.

“Priscilla, I have something to tell you.”

“You okay?” Priscilla asked when she noticed the sadness in Ortega’s voice.

Ortega said nothing in response, instead she walked to the bed and sat on it. Priscilla also sat beside her on the bed.

“What’s it, Ortega?, Did something happen to you last night?” Priscilla asked in a worried voice.

“Last night after you went to bring dinner for us,” Ortega started. “Alpha Derrick sent Ramos come call me. I was escorted to the Alpha’s Chamber by Ramos, and when I got there, his chamber was in a total mess. To cut the long story short, the alpha said I’ll be his sex slave from now on and… And he also took my virginity…” Ortega bursted into tears immediately.

“Oh my God!” Priscilla gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. She pulled Ortega into a warm hug and she stroked her hair softly as Ortega sobbed.

Priscilla wanted to say some comforting words to Ortega but she didn’t know the right words to say, so she just continued stroking Ortega’s hair gently as she sobbed.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

They heard a loud knock on the door.

“Who’s there?” Priscilla asked.

“Merrick.” Merrick replied from outside the room, and their eyes widened.

“Why is Lord Merrick here?” Priscilla whispered to Ortega.

“I don’t know.” Ortega replied, wiping the tears on her face with her hands.

Priscilla stood up from the bed and she walked to the door to open it.

“Good morning, lord Merrick.” She greeted, bowing her head respectfully.

“Morning. Is Ortega inside?” Merrick asked in reply.

“Yeah, she is.” Priscilla replied.

“Can I speak to her privately for some minutes?” Merrick requested.

“Sure.” Priscilla nodded, and Merrick stepped aside for Priscilla to walk out of the room.

Merrick stepped inside the room and he quietly shut the door behind him.

“Hi Ortega.” Merrick waved at Ortega who immediately rose to her feet.

“Good morning, lord Merrick.” She greeted, and Merrick chuckled.

“This is the second time you’ll be greeting me this morning, Ortega.”

“Oh.” Ortega muttered and lowered her head as Merrick approached her.

“Why were you crying?” Merrick asked as he stood in front of Ortega.

“Crying? No I was not crying.” Ortega shook her head vigorously.

“Then why are there tears on your face if you weren’t crying?” Merrick wiped the tears on her face with his thumb.

Ortega remained quiet and she lowered her head.

“Whatever you might be going through Ortega, just know that I have your back,” Merrick said. “I’ll always support you no matter what and whenever you need help, just come to me. Okay?”

Ortega simply nodded.

“And make sure you smile always. You look more beautiful when you smile.” Merrick said, and looked away, almost as if hiding the blush on her face before returning her look at him.

“Have a nice day.” Merrick added

“And you too.” Ortega replied, and Merrick turned around, then walked out of the room.

Ortega’s lips curved into a smile after Merrick walked out of the room.

Merrick’s words gave her hope and her mind felt at ease knowing that she has someone who would help her whenever she needed help.
