Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

Ella

After my brother came home the Alpha and Trinity left for France. The Beta, Noah, and some other members of their higher ups were responsible for managing things in their absence. I didn't care though. I had my brother home. My mom was back to normal. And not to mention, I had found my mate. Life was literally perfect for me right now.

Devon had met my mom the day Sammy came home. She and Sammy had both accepted Devon with open arms and were happy for me for finding my mate even during this dark time. I was glad that no one had thought I was a horrible person for finding something good while my brother was away.

Things went back to normal, for the most part. Mom was back at work with her usual flare and smile. Work was fun again. Sammy was back in school and got right back to being his old self with no lingering effect from the kidnapping. And I was living with Devon.

That was the only thing that had changed. I had moved out of my small apartment and moved into Devon's neat and spacious three bedroom ranch style home. He said he had bought it as a preparation for the future but he didn't really know why. Now, he was happy that he hadn't gotten something just for a bachelor. This home was going to be where we lived when we got married, where we started our family, it was going to be the start of our lives together.

Devon proposed to me two weeks after Sammy came home. It was a little bit of a shock but I couldn't have been happier. Just thinking about it made me smile.

It was the beginning of April and I was having a walk around the mountains with Devon. We were holding hands and just enjoying each other's company. I didn't think anything else would likely happen.

Suddenly, we came upon a cabin that was in the woods. It was one that I had seen many times before but never paid much attention to. Apparently, Devon had gone and purchased the cabin himself.

When Devon walked up right to the door and took out the key I had exclaimed.

"What are you doing?"

"This is our cabin now." He grinned at me. "I know how much you like walking through the woods, and I have always been curious about this place myself."

"Really?" I asked him with a smile spreading across my face.

"Really." He held his hand out for me. "I'm sure you can guess who used to own it." I didn't miss the way he rolled his eyes when he said that. That clearly told me that Reece had been the previous owner. "I guess that Alpha of yours really is a good guy." He smiled then. I'm glad that he was able to approve of Reece now.

Once we were inside the cabin I saw that it was completely clean and furnished with all the essentials. There was the main room which was a combination living room and kitchen. Aside from the front door there was only one door leading off that space. 

That other door led to a room with a large bed, one dresser, two night stands with lamps. There were two other doors in this room, one for a closet and one for the bathroom. That bathroom was way more than I was expecting. It had a very modern and luxurious design with a large tub and a separate shower. It was wonderful.

After Devon showed me the entire cabin he took me back to the living room and sat me on the couch.

"Sit here, and I will make us some dinner." He was smiling at  me.

"If I had known we were coming here for the night I would have prepared." I grinned at him.

"Don't worry, I prepared for you." He said as he indicated the bag sitting in the corner of the room. "Now, just wait for me to get everything ready."

Devon really was a sweet man. He was always doing things for me and liked to dote on me. There were so many times he told me to just wait for him to make the meal or to let him get things ready.

He truly did act like a wolf, he just didn't know that. If only there was a way to turn him into one.

About a half an hour later Devon was calling me into the kitchen to eat dinner. He set down large plates that were covered with food. He must have come here earlier in the day to prepare all of this, there was no way he could have done it all in just half an hour. 

He had made garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, steaks, and corn on the cob. There were dinner rolls with sweet cinnamon and honey flavored butter. There was a bottle of wine with two glasses waiting for us on the table.

Devon pulled my chair back for me and made sure I was situated before he went to sit down. We ate our meal while talking about random topics. It was more of us getting to know each other. It was the perfect meal, mostly because I was with the perfect person.

Following the meal we sat on the couch and snuggled with each other in front of the fireplace while we drank our wine. Devon had then sat me between his thighs while he massaged my shoulders. It felt amazing and put me completely at ease.

"Ella." He said my name so softly at first that I almost didn't notice it. "Ella." He said it again, with just a little more volume.

"Yeah?" I turned my head a little so I could just barely see his face.

"I love you." I didn't remember him ever saying that to me before.

"I love you too." I was so excited now that I turned completely around and sat on his lap, straddling him and looking into his eyes.

There was a look in his eyes I didn't understand at the moment. It was dark and heated but he also looked hesitant and nervous.

"Ella." He said my name again as he slid me off his lap, setting me on the cushion next to his.

Once I was seated on the couch, Devon slid off the couch and knelt in front of me. He took my hands in his and did his best to not break eye contact with me. I don't know why but I was getting antsy and excited.

"Ella, I have never known anyone as beautiful, sweet, kind, sexy, and perfect as you." I blushed at his words. He was obviously laying it on a little thick. "I can't imagine a single moment of my life without you in it. I can't even remember who I was without you and it's only been a short amount of time." I think I was tearing up. Was he going to do what I thought he was going to do? "Ella Taylor, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Yes, he did exactly what I thought he was going to do. 

I was so shocked that I nearly forgot to answer him. I was grinning so happily and after a few moments I found my voice and gave him my answer.

"Yes! Yes Devon I will marry you." That was when I looked down and noticed that he had slid a beautiful diamond ring onto my finger. It's band was braided white gold with a princess cut diamond at the perfect angle to make it pop. I loved it and I loved the man who had put it on me.

I leaned forward and pulled Devon into a deep, satisfying kiss. It was like with the tension of the moment over we were both hungry again. Only we were hungry for each other, not food.

I was blindly trying to undo the buttons on Devon's shirt while he was lifting my shirt. We broke the passionate kiss only long enough to strip away the barriers that were blocking us from seeing each other.

Devon pushed me back onto the couch when I was naked before him. His hands were already exploring every inch of my body. His lips were sliding from my mouth down to my chin, down my neck, down my chest with just the slightest of pauses to tease my breasts.

He didn't stop his slow trek down my body until his mouth reached my core.

Devon was kneeling on the floor and I was pushed back into the corner of the couch. This put me at nearly the perfect angle for him to devour me.

I felt Devon's tongue lick slowly up that most sensitive of places. His tongue swirled around and played with that bundle of nerves that was put there just to drive women crazy. He didn't hesitate to start a pattern with his tongue that had me moaning and gasping almost immediately.

He lapped at my core over and over. His skilled and masterful tongue was making me lose my mind as I turned to putty beneath him. I could only hear my own breath sawing in and out of my lungs as I moaned and screamed his name.

I don't know how long he was slowly driving me crazy but I eventually came on a loud scream with his name on my lips. There was a growl of satisfaction that came from my mate when he heard his name at my moment of pure bliss.

I was just about to think about how much more like a wolf that made him sound but I didn't get the chance. Devon chose that moment to fit himself to my entrance and enter me fast and hard.

I felt him slide all the way to his hilt with a satisfied pur, I just screamed in pleasure again.

I don't know why I was feeling everything so much more intensely this time but I wasn't going to complain. This night was truly the best of my life.

Devon pounded in and out of me. Over and over I heard our flesh smacking against each other as Devon rode that wave of need to its fullest. He was grunting and moaning while I just continued to moan and scream. It was a beautiful song we were creating in a way.

Soon I was not able to think anymore at all. I felt the intense pleasure building again, the spasming waves in my body's core. I felt myself squeeze Devon so tight that it made it hard for him to even move, but with another thrust or two he came as well, growling like a wolf, my name on his lips just like his had been on mine.

We panted, still connected, until our hearts settled their rapid rate. Once Devon was able to move again he pulled himself from my body and scooped me up into his arms. Once he had carried me to the bed he proceeded to take me for round two which was followed by rounds three and four as well. I don't really remember how many rounds we went, I just know it ended when I lost consciousness.
