The Bully Alpha's Fake Alpha Mate (BL) Chapter 61: FULLY MINE

REED

I watched Asher leave my room, he was limping slightly. My marks covered his skin and the bond between us was humming with satisfaction.

Mine. He was finally mine.

I’d spent months wanting him, months being driven insane by his defiance, months wondering what it would be like to make him submit, now I knew and it was better than I’d imagined.

The way he’d responded to , the sounds he’d made and the way his body had accepted mine despite his protests.

Perfect, his body was perfect and made for alone.

I sat on the edge of my bed and ran my hands through my hair. This should feel like victory. I’d claid Asher, made him mine, gotten exactly what I wanted and the bond was feeding his emotions as he walked back to his dorm. Fear, sha, self-hatred and underneath it all, devastation. He was completely broken and I’d done that to him but why do I feel sad instead of being happy. I should be rejoicing for conquering Asher but yet I feel sad and sort of broken.

I pushed the thought away, I stood up and walked to the window and watched students moving across campus below. They all knew I’d claid an Oga during the run, they had watched fight for them and had seen drag my mate away from the clearing but none of them knew who and that was exactly how it needed to stay.

Asher’s secret gave power, and complete control. He would do anything to keep people from finding out, he would submit to anything I demanded and I was going to enjoy every second of it.

My phone buzzed on the nightstand, I walked over and picked it up, and a groan escaped my lips when I saw the ssage was from Callum. I haven’t seen him all day since after the run.

Callum: Dude, everyone’s talking about last night. You claid an Oga?

: Yes.

Callum: Holy shit, the great Reed Jackson finally claid soone. Ridiculously insane. So tell , who is it?

: None of your business.

Callum: Co on, man. Everyone saw you fight for them. Who’s your mate?

: Drop it, Callum.

Callum: Fine but people are going to keep asking and they’re going to keep trying to figure out who it is. You know how this place is.

He was right, the Academy thrived on gossip, on knowing everyone’s business and on exposing secrets. It wouldn’t take long before soone started putting pieces together, started noticing patterns and started questioning who was missing during the run, who ca back looking wrecked and who slled different but I’d make sure those pieces didn’t lead to Asher.

: Let them ask. They won’t get an answer.

Cal: You’re really not going to tell anyone?

: No.

Callum: Why not? You claid your mate. That’s sothing to be proud of. Why hide them?

Because if people knew it was Asher Graham, everything would fall apart. The Academy didn’t allow Ogas and then Asher would be expelled, his scholarship revoked and his future destroyed, and I’d lose him.

The thought sent a spike of possessiveness through my chest that surprised because losing Asher was the last thing on my Monday right now or my entire life.

: It’s complicated.

Callum: Everything with you is complicated. Just... be careful, Reed. Whatever you’re doing, whoever your mate is, make sure you’re not going to regret it.

: I won’t.

I turned off my phone and tossed it onto the bed.

Regret!? As if I could regret claiming Asher. Regret finally making him mine after months of wanting him. The bond pulsed in my chest. Asher’s emotions were calming slightly. He’d made it back to his room and was probably collapsing onto his bed, trying to process everything that had just happened.

I could feel his exhaustion through the connection, I could feel the ache in his body and I could feel the war happening inside him between his Oga instincts that wanted to return to and his conscious mind that hated .

Good, let him struggle, let him fight it and soon, eventually, he’d accept what he was and what we were.

My Oga. My mate. Mine.

I walked into my bathroom and stared at my reflection in the mirror. My hair was a ss, scratches covered my chest and back where Asher’s nails had dug in and my eyes were still dilated from the rut but the rut was fading now. The claiming had satisfied it temporarily.

I’d need him again soon. The bond would demand it. My wolf would demand it and Asher would co when I called because he had no choice.

I turned on the shower and stepped under the spray. This was going to be interesting. Keeping Asher’s secret while using him whenever I wanted. Maintaining the facade that nothing had changed between us while the bond tied us together.

People would notice eventually. The marks, the way Asher’s scent would start carrying hints of mine and the way he’d respond to my commands but by then, it would be too late. The bond would be too strong, Asher would be too far gone and I’d have complete control.

I finished my shower and got dressed, checked my phone. No ssages from Asher not that I expected any but I could feel him through the bond. I could feel him lying in his bed, I could feel the mont his exhaustion finally won and he fell asleep.

Good, he needed rest because when I called for him again, I wasn’t going to be gentle.

I was going to remind him exactly who he belonged to and he was going to take it because he had no choice.

I sat at my desk and pulled out my laptop, I tried to focus on howork, on normal Academy things but my mind kept drifting back to Asher, to the sounds he’d made and to the way he’d looked when he finally submitted completely. The bond humd with satisfaction in my chest.

Mine.

My phone buzzed again and my hand clenched into a fist when I saw who it was. His display picture had boiling in anger.

Julian: Hey, you seen Asher? He’s not answering his phone and he missed our study session and you are the only one I can suspect to have done sothing to him. so, where is he?

My jaw clenched. Julian, that bastard, always hovering around Asher and always trying to protect him. He had more guts than Scott. A threat had Scott running with his tails behind his legs. He has always been weak but Julian was different. He didn’t fucking care about what I say and that annoys .

: No, I haven’t seen him.

Julian: Weird, he never misses stuff without telling . Are you sure you haven’t seen him or have you done sothing to him?

: I’m sure.

Julian: Okay. Well, if you do see him, tell him to call .

I didn’t respond, Julian needed to back off. Asher was mine now, not his friend and not his study partner but mine and the sooner everyone understood that, the better.

Even if they didn’t know who my Oga mate was, they’d learn to stay away from them once I made it clear. I’d make sure of it.

The bond pulsed again. Asher was dreaming, I could feel the emotions shifting. Fear, confusion and underneath it all, want. He was dreaming about , about what we’d done, and about what I’d made him feel.

This was perfect, even in sleep, he couldn’t escape . I smiled and turned back to my laptop, this was just the beginning.

Asher thought this was the worst it could get, he thought I’d claid him and that was it. He had no idea what I had planned, no idea how thoroughly I was going to own him but he’d learn soon enough.
