The Alpha's Stripper Mate: Sold To Be His.-Chapter 98

XAVIER

While Nylah served her punishment, the old man took over the pack hospital, well, not entirely since her friend was still working there. He took over the things Nylah would usually handle since he said he had the experience. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

And every morning, he would brew some herbal tea and have me take it for my health. I believed him when he said it worked and drank it faithfully since it was going to help prolong my life despite the worry that came with being the Alpha.

Ivy was happy and so was her father. What could I say? That was what I wanted. The pack prospered with the old man’s advice. We had enough to eat and the members were safe.

However, only one person was not happy with the way things were and it was none other than Brian.

He would hang around whenever I was making a decree or giving an order influenced by the old man. Although he didn’t speak or do anything, I sensed his disapproval.

From where he stood, I could sense it. It was strong and growing with every decree or order I made and it didn’t trouble me at first but it began to trouble me with time.

So, I confronted him one day.

"How is it that my Beta, the wolf who is supposed to stand behind me in whatever decision I make is against me?" I asked and he turned to look at me.

He didn’t deny it or accept it outrightly. He just stared at me.

"What is it that you hate so much about what I do that it oozes off of you like an aura. It’s so strong around you I can barely miss it. You are no longer the friend I used to know but someone holding a grudge against me." I explained and he shrugged.

"I told you that I would forever be loyal to you and will not oppose your judgement and that is what I have been doing." He said but it wasn’t convincing enough.

"Yes, you said that and you haven’t said anything but the words your heart says weighs more than your mouth could ever say." I complained.

"You know what is going on Xavier, you know what changed." He finally spoke.

"What?" I asked, clearly not seeing what he was seeing. Everything was going great here.

"You. You changed Xavier and I don’t know when or how or why, but you did and everyday it’s like I’m looking at a stranger. I tried to reason with you and consider that there is a lot of burden on your shoulders as the Alpha but that’s not it."

"You act without seeking ideas from any other person than the old man. One person never runs a pack Xavier. Their elders, their voices have been totally blacked out. This old man knows a lot about those days quite alright but you have sidelined every other person and he is the only one who is running this pack now."

I furrowed my brows at his words. How blind was he that couldn’t see that things had changed from how they used to be?

The old man made things a lot easier and gave my pack leverage against other packs. How couldn’t he see that?

When I was in dire need of a solution, where were the elders? Where were the people he was talking about then? They were nowhere to be seen. Only the old man helped solve the problem and he was talking about him in such a manner?!

"The man is using you as his tool to make this pack into what he wants and I’m shocked that you cannot see it for yourself--"

"Enough!" I growled and Brian kept mute.

There was a trace of surprise in his face but I didn’t care. He had crossed a line that should never have been crossed.

"Are you implying that I am a stupid Alpha and one that is being told what to do? Are you saying that I am a pushover?" I asked him, my face displayed my emotions. Even my wolf was pissed with him.

"I didn’t mean that but if you see it as that then there is nothing more I can say." Brian replied.

He was an arse. Even when he knew I was pissed, he didn’t mind that further words would get me more pissed.

"You’ve grown some nerves to talk to me like that." I retorted.

"And I wonder if this has anything to do with the girl, Nylah. Maybe you were pissed when you saw me punish her and you felt helpless because you knew you couldn’t do anything to save her. You just stood there and watched me punish her." I said every word with precision so it sank into his brain that I was the Alpha.

"That is what power can do and I have the power to do that. She is my slave and I can do whatever I want with her. I can pluck out her left eye if I dim fit tonight or get in between her legs and take her as many times as I want to even though she cries and begs me not to."

My words got to him and he screamed after the last word. His hands brushed past his ears. He approached me like he was coming for an attack but when he got to me, he stared into my face and pushed me by my chest with both hands before walking away.

I took in deep breaths to calm myself down but was barely calm when Ivy walked into the hall.

"Hey hun, did something happen?" She asked with her voice dripping with honey.

The heaviness in my chest eased immediately I heard her voice.

"I saw Brian storming out of this place." She added.

"No, no no, it’s nothing. Brian was just being a dickhead as usual." I replied and she nodded thoughtfully.

"You know you can replace him whenever you like right? You have that much power. There are a lot of eligible males in my father’s pack. We can pick one and use him as a Beta here and he will serve you without complaints or questions." She informed, and I nodded.

"Okay, it hasn’t gotten to that though but thank you for your help I will make sure to consider that when I am sick and tired of Brian." I assured her and touched her jaw with my palm.

She smiled and took my hands, leading me out of the hall, she said. "I have a surprise for you."

"Really? What is it?" I asked, excited already.

"Wait till you see it. It’s a surprise, remember?" She teased and I nodded and followed her out of the hall.

She led me up to my chambers and I wondered what she had set up for a steamy night but my excitement fell from eighty to zero percent when I saw the slave girl standing in my room.

I stopped in my tracks, the smile that was previously on my face morphed into a deep frown as I turned to Ivy demanding answers.

"What is she doing here?" I asked and Ivy held my hand.

"Calm down hun, she’s here to entertain us." She replied with a smile.

"You see, the last time I had a conversation with her, she made me realise that some things have been missing in our sex life and one of those is a performance by a slut; her." Ivy gestured towards Nylah who stood before me with her head bowed.

She was half naked yet she irritated me. Her features that usually get me excited in the past now repulsed me and I wanted nothing to do with her.

"Nylah here is going to dance for us, the same way she used to dance for you. We will watch her and fuck ourselves while watching her and she will watch us fuck." Ivy explained what was going to happen and I let out a shrug.

It was no biggie to make love to Ivy in front of the slave.

"That sounds like fun." I said with anticipation and Ivy chuckled.

"I know... I put a lot of thought into this before calling her here." She replied and gestured to Nylah to begin her dance.

Nylah started to dance but she wasn’t moving her body like she used to. She was stiff and there is no fun in stiffness.

"Well, get into it you slave!" I screamed at her, getting pissed already at her sluggish attitude. While ivy rubbed her hands across my chest and unbuttoned my shirt.

Nylah refused to make eye contact with us but she began to perform better. And with every new move she made, Ivy made a deeper move with me.

She continued until she finally undressed me, pulled the sheets over us and climbed on top of me.

"Mmmm... you sure do have surprises packed in one night for me." I teased as she began to twist her waist on top of me.
