Finally, he breaks. “Sir, from your voice message, I have the understanding that this is a rather urgent matter. Now, I’m happy to sit here and charge you for my time while you say nothing, but that wouldn’t be very productive, would it?”
Mmm. He has a point.
“I’m really weirded out by this. Honestly, I don’t want to be here at all.”
The alpha nods. “But you are.”
“Yeah, because I think I’m going to lose my mate if I don’t get the possessiveness under control.”
There. That wasn’t so hard.
“Ah. Now we’re getting somewhere. So, I take it your mate has called others?”
“Many. Three others. Each powerful, some more so than I am.” Drago, I could almost excuse because he’s enhanced. But that fucking man witch…
Putting me on my ass like that.
“And what do you think about that?”
I scoff at him. “Ithinkthat’s what she needs. I think Willa does her best with the shitty hand she’s been dealt her whole life. But thinking isn’t the problem, doc.”
He nods, scribbling on a pad in front of him.
“Tell me what is then, Mr. Navarro.”
“Rafe is fine.” I settle into the armchair more comfortably and let out a long sigh. “The problem is that I can’t keep myself from turning into a knot-brained caveman whenever a new guy comes to town. The problem is I can’t control how fucking much I want Willa toonlybe with me, even though I know that’s not what she needs. It’s like the logical part of my brain has no say in what I do when she’s around the others.”
The alpha doc is nodding and scribbling. “Mmhmm. Yes. That makes perfect sense.”
“Whatdya mean, it makes perfect sense? I’m telling you I have no control over my actions and you say that’s normal?”
“No. I said it makes sense. And it does.”
I humor him. “How’s that exactly?”
“Rafe, you’re the Pack Alpha of the only wolf pack on the Taurus peak. You’re used to doing things a certain way and having complete control over everything in your domain. Am I right?”
“Yeah.”
“So you’re the top dog here, right?”
I nod, growing uneasy again. If he throws some “you just have to be confident in yourself” bullshit at me, I’m getting the fuck outta here.
“You know that designations are assigned based on brain structure and chemistry, right?”
No, I did not know that.
The doc settles into his seat, winding up for a lecture, I’m sure. “Science has mapped out the exact features that determine alpha brains from betas, from deltas, and from omegas. There are marked and consistent structural and neurochemical differences. And as the alpha-est alpha of this land, it stands to reason that you’d have the biggest, most alpha-est brain out there.”
I can see where he is heading. “Spell it out for me.”
“You’re acting the way your brain is primed and programmed to act.”
OK. But I don’t want to keep acting that way. Is he saying there’s no hope? I’m always going to be a chest-thumping knot-brained idiot whenever Willa’s mates are around?
The amount I’ve held back…
The only thing that keeps me from tearing into Drago whenever he’s around is how fucking huge the guy is. It’s a literal suicide mission going against him.
