My heart drummed in my chest. I already had a crazy day, I didn’t know if I had it in me to take more. Why did the Alpha of all people pay a visit to our house?What if he was here to punish us for how I spoke to him before I knew about him? But I did apologize!“Av.” My mother whispered giving me the eye that said, “Greet him back.”I looked back at Dominic and said, “Good afternoon Alpha. A pleasure to see you.”Dominic smiled at me and cocked his head, while Aiden looked at him innocently. “Are you? That is wonderful to know.”I frowned as I did not understand what he meant by his question. Did he somehow realize that I was uncomfortable in his presence?“We cannot believe a day would come when the Alpha himself would grace us with his presence. After all, we are just humans.” dad said with a smile but he was also uncomfortable and doubtful of Dominic’s visit.Humans were considered the lowest of all in the town and due to that, wolves tend to not interact with us. It was a matter o
There was silence in the room and my eyes were wide as saucers, gulping down what he just said.“I don’t understand, Alpha,” Dad said and Dominic’s mischievous smile only broadened.“It is quite simple. Avery will now live with me. When does a human girl come to live together with a male wolf?” he directed the question at my parents while I was frozen at my spot.My mom gasped and she clasped her mouth. Her green eyes turned wide and stared in my direction, “Is it really…true?”Dad had a look of concern falling on his face, “She is your mate?”The tray fell from my hand and made a loud thumping sound as it met the floor. My hands were shaking as I processed what dad was talking about.Me? His mate? The Alpha’s mate?!!“This can’t be true.” My voice trembled and the words came out like a soft whisper but from Dominic’s burning gaze on me, I knew he heard.“You think I would lie, Avery?” He cocked his head to the side, his eyes narrowing slightly as if challenging me to call him a liar.
There was silence in the car, with the sound of the tires and the drumming of my heart profound in my ears. I kept as much distance as possible from Dominic and kept my gaze away from him. Still, I could feel him looking at me and I gritted my teeth.Things changed so quickly. I was in my college, insulted in front of everyone and the next minute, I was declared to be the Alpha’s mate. Was this some kind of a bad dream?I pinched my right cheek hard in hopes of it being a nightmare, but when it stung, I realized that I was living the nightmare. I was taken away from my family and had to live with a person forever, pretending to be his soulmate just because of some stupid chemical bond.“You know, loathing about what happened will not make the pain go away.” His husky voice came from the back and I snapped my head at him,How dare he say that when he was the one who took everything away from me?!I glared at him, showing my point, and then looked back at the window. Suddenly, I felt his
I stared at his face, fuming inside. How could he just do things that always favored him in some way or the other?I didn’t want to follow his orders like a slave, because it would mean that I gave in. Which I would never! But he left me no choice.I closed my eyes softly in a sigh and pushed myself out of the car. I didn’t hold his hand and he did not say anything about it. I looked straight ahead and saw the front view of the mansion which was going to be my personal jail now.My personal jail did not look like one as the facade was constructed with beautiful, pigeon white walls and two tall, thick pillars held a roof that shadowed the entrance door. It was strange how I never noticed this much as I was busy saving my ass and neck in the ball.Dominic walked forward and I followed, staying two steps behind him. His broad back moved with a sense of pride and confidence. I couldn’t believe that he was my mate.If we met in general, he would have never laid his eyes on someone like me.
I looked at his finger which had my hair strand twisted on it like a creeper growing on a pillar. Somehow, I felt that the action represented his type of love for me.Twisted.He let go of my hair and pulled his spine back to his ramrod, proud posture. He turned to the lady who was watching us with big eyes as if she saw something out of the place. It indeed was out of the place given the alpha was showing his affections publicly. Most of them preferred to look intimidating.Though, he was one, to say the least. And also shameless!I couldn’t believe I let him carry me like a vegetable sack into the car. Even my parents must have seen that and now if I thought about it, it felt utterly mortifying.He looked back at me and his eyes subtly narrowed, noticing my glare at him.“What?”“You pulled me up in front of my parents. That’s disrespectful.” I said and saw the maid’s eyes widen at the way I spoke to the Alpha.Dominic didn’t seem to be offended and said, “And whose fault is that?” I
“Give me my phone back!” I said and placed my palm forward for him to put the phone in my hand.He raised a brow, “Your phone?” He pulled out something from his pocket and my eyes narrowed noticing that it was indeed my phone in his hand, “Are you talking about this?”“Yes! Now give it back.”He looked at the model as if examining it and then pushed it back in his pocket, “Better if it stays with me.”What the hell!“You can’t do that. That’s my phone.” I said and he sipped his tea, placed the cup on the glass center table with a clinking sound, and leaned his back on the sofa,“I suggest you don’t use that tone with me, kitten. You are forgetting who I am.” He said, a small smile planted on his face, but his eyes told a different story. He looked angry.I scratched my neck and lowered my voice, “I am sorry. But I need my phone." Amidst all this craziness, I totally forgot that I was held captive by a powerful man who if wished, could destroy me and my family. I could take his blows,
I blinked frequently, scared of Dominic’s wrath. From the time I came here, he did not show his anger towards me. But that didn’t mean he wouldn’t.I gathered my courage and said with a straight face, “I do not wish to be with you.”Dominic stood in front of the open double doors and his eyes narrowed at me, annoyance building in his eyes. He closed the doors with a thud and my heart almost came to my throat.He walked to the bed and raised a brow, “And why do you not?”My jaw clenched. Wasn’t it obvious?“You brought me here against my will. I do not want to share anything with you.” I said, the flames of anger burning in my head.His face darkened with a precarious look in it and he leaned forward, his hands resting on the bed as a support and he stared at me. His ripped shoulder muscles peeked through the fabric of his black shirt.“I told you to be careful with your words, kitten. You don’t know what would land you to danger,” he said, his voice low and the hint of warning in those
My lips went dry with his words and my stomach started growling again like a beast. I heard his light chuckle and he moved away, “Eat, Avery. I am not letting you go.”I was not sure if his last sentence meant the same thing about keeping me here or in general keeping me trapped with him. Either way, my mind was slowly turning hazy with the lack of food.I gulped the saliva down my throat and walked back to the bed without any word. The dishes on the plate tempted me to gobble them all up in a go and I sat on the bed, ready with the cutlery to dive in. Dominic watched me eat, but I tried to concentrate on relishing the juices of the turkey.He was right. The food was something worth eating.I closed my eyes, to distract myself from his scrutiny on my lips and enjoyed chewing the food that slowly melted on my tongue. This was pure bliss!Just then, I heard a small growl come from the other side and I opened my eyes to find him staring at my plate with narrow eyes.“What?” I asked, confu
