Alpha Duncan

I couldn't just sit back and listen to her. She wrapped her arms around me and kissed me all over my neck and face. Between her touch and her kisses, I couldn't stop swooning. I was hoping to hear those words from the person I care about the most.

However, these words were from my sister! This was completely incorrect. This was something I was unable to do.

If our parents were still alive, they would never allow something like that to take place. They would be embarrassed and would immediately disown us.

“Get off of me now!” I yelled as I pushed her away. “What are you thinking? What exactly are you doing, Mindy? Can you please come to your senses? I'm your older brother," I said. I tried to avoid making direct eye contact with her. I couldn't bear the thought of her catching a glimpse of my affection in my eyelids.

What if she could hear my heartbeats, which were pounding faster and harder?

What if she was able to detect the shiver in my hand?

How would I know if she could sense the chill that accompanied the blame, regret, and fear that I was holding in my eyes?!

I attempted to walk away from her, yelling, "Are you drunk?" as I did so.

After shaking my head in disbelief, I was startled to hear her sobbing and speaking in a trembling voice, "I do love you as a mate and a luna, not as brother and sister. Why aren't you able to feel the anguish in my heart? Why can't you see the love in my eyes? How could you deny the mating bond between us?” she inquired as she drew me closer to her and pulled me from my collar to look directly into her eyes, and all I could see were red eyes blinded by tears at that moment.

Trying to breathe normally and act more assertively in front of her, I exhaled loudly and inhaled quickly. "This is wrong, Mindy; you are my little sister," I said. “Are you even aware of what you are saying and what might happen?” I locked my gaze on her.

This is the truth: I didn't want her to give up. Not only did I not want to be stopped. But I couldn't go any further because I couldn't breathe.

I simply made the decision to flee from her. Nothing seemed to make sense to me as far as what to do next. But I just didn't want to have to face her right now. And, at the same time, I have to return to my guests and Emma, my fiancée, who have arrived. Alternatively, they would begin to gossip.

No one would ever enter his mind as a possibility that there is anything between my sister and me. However, they may believe she is opposed to my engagement, and that is all.

I rushed to open the door, but Mindy tried to stop me by clutching my jacket in her hands, saying, "Please, Duncan, I really do love you. Pay attention to your feelings. I'd be dead if I didn't have you. It is impossible for me to love anyone else but you.” She said with a pleading tone.

I yanked her hand away and stormed out of her room, down, and into the hallway. I was choking because I had lost my ability to breathe. My eyes were welling up with tears, but I managed to keep them back.

I took a deep breath and drew a fake smile over my face to try to hide my true feelings from others.

I returned to the pool, and Emma approached me, her worried eyes searching mine for signs that I was in trouble. “Can you tell me where Mindy is?”

I snorted, "I locked her in her room," I said. “Honestly, I can't believe that she wants to be mated up with such a jerk!” I made up a story to distract her from my worries.

Emma smiled and cupped my cheeks with her hands, saying, "baby, if she loves him, you should give them both a chance. That is her own life.”

“That's not her own life!” I said, frowning. “I'm her older brother!” I exclaimed. I let out a squeal.

My reactions caused Emma to shake her head in disbelief, saying, "don't you think you're overprotecting her?! She is no longer a pup. She is, without a doubt, a lady! She has complete discretion over whom she chooses to date and mate. And I believe she is behaving unusually as well.”

I took a deep breath and gulped. What exactly did she mean when she said Mindy was acting in an unusual manner?!

Is this a sign that she has discovered something?

No way! That can't possibly happen! Oh my goddess, what a disaster!

“What do you mean?” I inquired, my eyes narrowing.

With seductive movement, she brought her fingers to my lips "she is way too jealous! she speaks to you as if you were her mate.”

“What the fuck are you talking about, Emma?” I exclaimed as I choked on her words and coughed. “Are you losing your mind?” I exclaimed. I caused Emma to startle a little in her place with my grunts because of my facial expressions.

She stutter-walked. “I _I didn't mean that in any way. I mean, she's become overly attached to you." She took a breath and trailed off. "In fact, I do the same thing with my own father. I am aware that this is normal. But, in my opinion, she should start her own life with a guy, to begin with. She won't be able to live with you indefinitely. And we're about to be mated, which is exciting—" I had to cut her off.

I exclaimed, "that's normal. I'm her father, her mother, and her brother!" I was shocked.

“I have been her life, and the only one has left for her,” I explained myself, and I didn't make any false statements about this. That was, in fact, the truth of it.

When it comes to relatives, we don't have any! I have no idea why or how this happened. However, our grandfathers passed away many years ago, and my mother and father both remember being lonely children. Since our parents' deaths, we haven't had the opportunity to meet any of our other relatives.

There are several of them that I don't even remember.

And it was precisely for this reason that I was uncertain about Mindy's feelings for me. Is it possible that she was just subconsciously afraid of losing me, and as a result, she imagined that she was in love with me? But it's possible that those were simply strings that tied me and her together.

Emma was becoming more and more curious and bored, and she began to bombard me with questions, which I despise the most when it comes to my Mindy and me in particular.

Simply by leaning in closer and pulling her into a long kiss, I managed to divert the conversation.

Is it possible that I'm experiencing something?

No way in hell!

It had a poisonous taste to it, in my opinion. I didn't care for the flavor at all. I am aware that Emma is attractive and sexy and that she has also been a very successful female Alpha and great businesswoman, especially considering her young age. I was always attracted to intelligent women, and she had so much experience in bed that she knew exactly how to satisfy me.

Despite this, I adored Mindy with all of my heart, but I needed to satisfy my sexual desires as a werewolf. I was in desperate need of a woman. I simply couldn't be in a committed relationship in the past. For the most part, I was just sleeping with them for a night or two before politely kicking them from my life.

I do not and have never had sexual relations with whores. As a result, I couldn't be rude or harsh with anyone. But it all came crashing down, and I tried to forget about Mindy and myself. Nothing, however, altered the situation. Every time I fuck a new woman, I find myself falling even more in love with Mindy.

I've only recently realized how much I hanker after Mindy. I can't tell how much I adore her: Her scent, her touch on my skin, and her lips brushing against mine were all wonderful!

That was unquestionably noteworthy. I couldn't get Mindy’s kiss out of my head, but it didn't linger for long at all. However, it has remained etched in my memory.

When I heard a gasp, I almost became paralyzed in my place. I pulled myself away from Emma to take a look, only to see Mindy staring at me with eyes full of remorse and regret.

I wanted to be honest with Mindy and tell her the truth. I was only pretending, but I was unable to discuss or explain anything at the time.

Why? Because she was not my girlfriend at the time! She was my sister, after all. After all, why should anyone have to explain to his sister why he kissed his fiancée?! That would be a bit strange to say.

This is especially true with all of the guests in the room with us.

My heart, on the other hand, pounded loudly and painfully. I couldn't say anything because I felt like my tongue had been ripped out. I was glaring at Mindy, mumbling something about being sorry in between my looks.

Mindy took a deep breath and exhaled loudly, then shook her head in disbelief and bolted from the party.

To figure out where she was going, I kept my gaze fixed on her back. I assumed Mindy would simply return to her room and lock herself in there. But no, she hopped into her car and was gone in a flash of light, disappearing from my sight entirely.

What I didn't know what to do or what she was going to do to herself made me feel like I couldn't wait any longer.

I wrapped my arms around Emma's shoulders and said, "baby, I need to go find Mindy right away. Could you please take care of our guests?” I courteously inquired of Emma, hoping that she would be able to comprehend my complicated situation.

And thank goddess Emma was well aware of how much I adore my younger sister. Of course, she was completely unaware of my little secret regarding Mindy.

But Emma and everyone in my life, including my pack and my business partners, were well aware of how much I cared about my sister and how willing I was to drop a deal just to be next to her.

I motioned for my Beta and personal assistant to come over, and I asked him, "Tell me where Mindy is?" I asked him.

He nodded and placed a phone call to one of my men, who was supposed to be Mindy's personal follower and "undercover bodyguard," but Mindy was unaware of this.

Then my Beta turned to face me and said, "Alpha, he couldn't keep up with her. He claimed that she was driving at such a high rate that she abruptly pulled out of his path.”

Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angry, I clenched my fist and dashed to my car, starting it up and telling it to “get the hell inside the car now and find for me where this Derek house might be.” My Beta obeyed my command.

If I came across Mindy with Derek in bed or something, I swear to the goddess that I would fucking crash his fucking head and cut off his dick! No one is permitted to come into contact with my property. Mindy, on the other hand, is mine. My actions are selfish, and I am well aware of it, but until I am stronger and can resist her love, no one will be allowed to touch her, and I will make certain of it.

And after a few phone calls, my Beta discovered what had happened in a matter of minutes. Obviously, that Derek dude just posted a few pictures of himself and my sister in my palace, and that's all he had to show for it.

Obviously, I had the wrong impression of Derek when I thought he was overjoyed at the prospect of meeting me. He wanted to become famous by dating my sister, so he asked her out.

What a moron he is! She is the most beautiful and kind young she-wolf I have ever seen. Why would a wealthy Next-in-line Alpha be more interested in meeting me than he would be in love with a beautiful girl like Mindy?! I couldn't figure out why they all kept acting in this manner.

“Alpha, he is Derek Zeal!” My Beta looked at me as if I was crazy.

I drew my brows together. “Zeal?! There is only one Zeal in the world! What is zeal steel? Alpha zeal who rules dusk pack?” I enlisted the help of my Beta.

He smiled and said, "I guess he is. We should leave right away. Please allow me to drive for you.”

I shook my head, saying, "No, I'd drive. I need to track down Mindy as soon as possible. All you have to do is call Alpha Zeal and tell him that we are on our way to his pack right now.” I told him what to do.

And he was the most helpful and loyal Beta I'd ever had. My father used to employ him as a personal assistant, which I found amusing. He was a little on the frail side, but he was wise and a great help to me. He was my secret keeper! But for sure, I didn’t tell him about the bond between Mindy and me.

I'd never been able to summon the courage to tell anyone, except for one person, Jack, who is her best friend. And it was because of an incident that he decided to tell me about Mindy's feelings for me at the time.

Jack is genuinely concerned about Mindy. And he was actually the only guy I had confidence in to be with Mindy at the time. Because he truly treats her as though she were his own sister, and not just because he happens to be gay. His character is quite admirable, in fact.

On the other hand, Mindy was unaware of the incident, and since then, Jack and I have communicated with one another to see if Mindy is in any danger or to inquire about her mood or her new boyfriends.

Despite his request to reconsider my decision to keep my feelings for Mindy a secret, he was a good omega and kept my little secret from her.

I reached for my cell phone and dialed Mindy's number several times, hoping she would pick up the phone and tell me where she had gone. However, it was clear that she did this to cause me concern.

I increased the speed of the car as if I were piloting a plane. We can thank our lucky stars that I know where Zeal lives and that his pack was very close to my pack. He had previously invited me to one of his parties. I didn't go because I'm not a very social person, and I don't enjoy chit-chatting with strangers or putting on a fake smile for others.

I only go to packs gatherings, business meetings, and charity events where I can contribute. Yes, only the most important things were included. Even the celebration of my birthday was something I didn't care for. For me, Mindy's birthday was the most significant of the year. Every year, I used to throw her a lavish party and shower her with thoughtful gifts.

And she used to throw me the best surprise party for my birthday, which I always looked forward to.

She made use of it?! I used to do that?!

What in the world am I saying to myself at this point? She'd be fine, I'm sure. She should be fine for me. I can't function properly without her. If I were to lose her, I would simply die in the same minute.

I came to a complete stop in front of the Zeal gate. My Beta dialed Zeal's phone number once more, but the phone was still disconnected.

When the security guard didn't open the fucking gate immediately, I clenched my teeth and yelled at him. Simply put, I was baffled as to how and why he had done what he had. Perhaps he was intimidated by me. I was well aware of this, and everyone has commented on how frightening I appear when I lose my cool.

I couldn't have cared less. I pulled up in front of Alpha Zeal's Castle and yelled his name, "Zeal! Zeal," as I walked in. I was running around in circles like an insane Alpha the entire time, trying to find my sister or Derek.
