Isaiah arrived home, and once inside, he went to his private gym.
He. Was. Not. Happy.
He and his wolf were furious beyond recognition. Isaiah's wolf wanted to emerge right there and then kill Marco. It took Isaiah's entire will to hold him still. He took off his upper clothing, exposing his upper muscular body. He went to the punching bag and began to punch it very hard. He could feel his heart beating in fury as he was pounding.
"You should have killed that human male! He is with our mate! Our mate! Alone!" yelled his wolf.
"I also wanted to kill him, but we can't. Alyara was there, and she would despise us for the rest of her life. That bastard is just a friend of hers. That's all!" Isaiah punched harder and harder.
Rafael scoffed. "You think that! What happens if they are more than just mere friends? That bastard is alone with our mate! They could be doing something together than what friends should!"
Isaiah felt his wolf's anger intensify. He could also feel his blood boiling at the thought of Alyara being in the arms of another man. It would destroy him beyond repair. "Alyara is not like those women I have been with. Even with our short time with her, she does not seem like those women who will fall into the whims of men."
"Yes, she does not seem like a woman who would sleep around, but didn't she hold feelings for him?"
"Yes! I am angry as you are, but we must have faith in our mate! Alyara would not give herself to just anyone! "
Rafael didn't respond. Rafael knew himself to be a jokester and to have a temper, but he knew he had limitations with Isaiah. He felt Isaiah's anger calm down. He stopped punching and sat for a moment, taking deep breaths. Suddenly, he heard his phone buzzing and looked at the caller ID.
It was Darren; Isaiah answered.
"Alpha, I wanted to ask how your date went."
"It went well until I took her home. Her damned guy friend was waiting for her."
Darren was silent momentarily. "Please don't tell me you tried to hurt him, Alpha."
Isaiah let his Beta enter. "I wanted to, but I calmed myself and Rafael."
Isaiah knew that male werewolves, like him, have jealousy and rage more potent than an average human. If a male werewolf sees or feels that another male is after his mate, the male werewolf will not hesitate to fight to the death or kill if need be. Darren was shocked that Isaiah could contain his anger. "So what happened in the end?"
"I left, but I believe Alyara would not do anything with that bastard. She is not the type of person who sleeps around. I can't explain it, but I have that feeling."
"That's good; your mate seems to be a self-respectable woman. Anyway, how was the date overall?"
Isaiah smiled. "It was great. She is a good conversationalist, kind and smart. How much I wanted to mark her so badly. However, I would rather court her and gain her affection."
Darren chuckled. "So you would do it the human way. You are quite motivated. Unfortunately, I did the latter."
"Yeah, when you kidnapped your mate, I remember how much she fought against you when you took her."
"What can I say? It's a werewolf thing, but in the end, I seduced her with my charms. Even she could not deny me."
Rafael rolled his eyes. "See, even your Beta did the ancestors proudly! You could still take our mate. She will eventually love us!"
Isaiah ignored his wolf but chuckled at Darren. "Sure, I'll take your word for it, though it took her a year to fall for you."
The Beta chuckled. "Hey, we're together. Anyway, what is your plan now? Since you have a rival for your mate's affections."
"I will still court Alyara and not take no for an answer. I also want you to do something for me."
"Yes, anything."
"I want the guards to begin guarding my mate. I will send you her address information. While guarding her, if her male friend shows up, send two guards to spy on him and find out any important information. His name is Marco.
Darren nodded. "No problem. I will inform them when you send us the address."
The two hung up, and Isaiah texted his Beta the address information. He would have never imagined that he would face competition for his mate. However, Alyara was a beauty that would have many admirers.
"Thinking to yourself again? I told you that you should just kidnap her."
"Shut up, Rafael."
