Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Wild, Not Free Chapter 78: Wild, Not Free *************** CHAPTER 77 ~Tempest’s POV~ The air felt thick around me as I struck the training dummy with blow after blow, each hit harder than the last.

My fists ached, my muscles burnt, but it wasn’t enough.

Nothing was enough to drown out the whirlwind of emotions tearing through me.

Koda.

The word echoed in my head like a bitter chant, and I snarled, landing a final vicious punch that sent the dummy crashing backwards.

My chest heaved with the effort, but my mind…

my mind was still spinning.

I couldn’t believe it.

Of all the wolves in this goddamn world, the Moon Goddess had decided to tie me to him-Aira’s almost lover, the one who had been pining after her for years.

It felt like a cruel joke, a twist of fate I didn’t want any part of.

The sound of footsteps made me pause, and I turned to see Snow approaching from the other side of the training ground.

His face was as unreadable as ever, but there was something in his eyes-concern, maybe?

Pity?

I wasn’t sure, and I didn’t care to find out.

“Tempest…” he called gently, taking a cautious step toward me, but I already sensed him.

I didn’t stop, swinging at the dummy with another strike, harder this time.

It was the only way I knew how to deal with the whirlwind inside.

“Tempest, enough,” he said more firmly.

I spun around, fire blazing in my eyes.

“What do you want, Snow?” He raised his hands in surrender.

“I’m just checking on you.” I spat the words, my voice sharp.

“Well, I’m fine.” I wasn’t, and I knew he saw right through it, but I turned back to the dummy anyway, lifting the sword with ragged breaths.

“You’re not fine,” he pressed, stepping closer.

“You’re angry, hurt-” “And what do you know about it?” I snapped, spinning around to face him.

“You think you know what it’s like?

To stand there and watch your mate-your fated mate-pine after someone else?

Your sister?” Snow clenched his jaw, trying to hold steady.

“Tempest-” “No, Snow.

Just stop.” My hands trembled as I dropped the sword, stepping away from the dummy.

“It’s not fair.

He wants her, not me.

And now I’m just here, standing like a fool while he figures out if he’ll reject me or keep chasing after Aira.” My voice cracked, and even though I’d fought to hold it back, the raw emotion slipped through.

I hated feeling so exposed.

“I know it’s not fair,” he said softly, stepping closer again.

“But you don’t have to go through this alone.” But I didn’t believe him.

“Alone?” I let out a bitter laugh, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand.

“I’ve been alone my entire life, Snow.

No one can fix this.” He didn’t have the words, and I saw that helplessness in his eyes-he couldn’t fix this.

No one could.

“Just leave me alone.” I walked away, shutting down, needing space.

I stormed off the training grounds, my body still buzzing, driven by a need to get far, far away from everything-the pack, Snow, Koda€¦ everyone.

My feet carried me through the woods, the scent of pine and earth filling the air as I moved with purpose, not really knowing where I was going but needing to escape.

Minutes later, I found myself near the river at the edge of our borders.

The soft sound of rushing water reached my ears, and for a moment, the serenity of the place started to calm the storm inside me.

But as I approached the riverbank, I wasn’t alone.

There, standing by the water’s edge, was the warrior I had spent the night with-the man whose name I hadn’t even bothered to ask.

His gaze lifted as he sensed me, his eyes widening in surprise.

“Lady Tempest,” he said, stepping toward me.

“I wasn’t expecting to see you here.

Are you-” I didn’t let him finish.

The moment he was close enough, I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him into a fierce and demanding kiss.

I felt his surprise, the tension in his body, but then he kissed me back, his lips moving against mine with just as much need.

There was no hesitation as I unhooked his belt, my hands running over his exposed chest when I yanked his shirt open, buttons scattering to the ground.  His touch sent chills down my spine but something felt off.

Every brush of his skin, every caress, felt strange and different from last night.

Autumn stirred, uneasy.

Was it because she’d found her mate, and now she was rebelling?

I didn’t care.

I didn’t care about anything but this moment-about forgetting-about drowning the frustration, anger, and pain.

“Fuck me,” I whispered harshly against his lips.

“Make me forget everything.” His eyes widened, uncertainty flickering across his face.

“Tempest€¦” I silenced him with another kiss, more forceful this time.

I didn’t want to hear his doubts-didn’t want to feel anything but the raw, physical need coursing through me.

I was desperate to forget, and this was the only way I knew how.

Finally, he stopped resisting.

His hands gripped my waist, pulling me closer as he took control, his kiss growing rougher and more urgent.  His touch sparked different feelings within me – excitement, satisfaction and discomfort.

With his body pressed against mine, he responded to my need.

I tried to lose myself in the sensations, but my wolf growled, protesting.

I shoved Autumn’s consciousness to the back of my mind.

I wasn’t mated.

I wasn’t tamed.

I needed this.

I pushed him down onto the soft grass by the riverbank, straddling him as my fingers tangled in his hair.

Our lips clashed in a wild, reckless kiss.

Every touch felt like a betrayal, yet I craved more.

I didn’t care about the consequences.

I didn’t care about tomorrow.

I just wanted to feel-anything but the pain that had been gnawing at my heart since Koda stepped into our pack.

I was stubborn and that was my undoing but who cares?

I wouldn’t be loyal to a guy not loyal to me in heart.

His hands roamed my body, exploring and searching, and for a moment, I let myself get lost in it.

Lost in the heat, the touch, the pure physicality of it all.  Thankfully, I wore a gown.

Handsome tore away at my panties as I rubbed his hard-on, eager to have him fill me up like he did before.

Lining him up, I shoved away the emotions, the hurt, and focused on the sensations of having his dick’s head pressed against my hole-his breath against my neck, his fingers digging into my skin, the feel of him against me.

Koda and Aira’s faces flashed in my mind, reminding me of what I was about to do and worse, my wolf.

However, the second I impaled on that hard meat, the memory shattered.

He moved his hips, thrusting upward and filling me up as he stretched my walls and fuckk€¦ did I feel so full.

For now, this was enough.

It was all I needed-to feel something other than the aching hollowness inside me and have my wolf whine.

But deep down, I knew this wasn’t the answer.

This wasn’t going to make me forget, no matter how much I wanted it to.

For now, though, I’d pretend it did.
