Chapter 3 – Meeting The Alpha
REESE’S POV
If Dark Forest was the biggest pack I had seen then I couldn’t say less for Silver Shine too. This is huge and extraordinary. When I use the term extraordinary, it totally lives up beyond my imagination. The entrance gate was huge, made with an iron bar design which was pulled by two bulky men to open. I guess they are the gatekeepers. Their expression was stoic and they stood like a rock at each side looking at me with a look which was able to send chills in my body. I couldn’t help but blush, because my position right now was not something I could feel any pride for. And all of this happening because of this damn man.
~ don’t argue, you like it don’t you?~ Eve, my wolf mocked. She was happily purring inside. I rolled my eyes.
How will I like it, dangling on his shoulder. He was walking without any care. Like he was not carrying a woman on his shoulder but some kind of object. As he walked farther I could see pack members. I let my roam around to see the training ground far. It was filled with trainers. There are other people around. Most of the places are filled with flower pots. The side of the path from the entrance gate was surrounded by the hedges. All I could see was green and flowery scenery.
He stopped suddenly and before I could ask anything I heard a gruff voice “John? What’s this?”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Hey Jaxson” he greeted “umm… it’s nothing. I caught some untamed wild fae” he chuckled at the end.
“Wild fae?” That man whose name was Jaxson sounded laughing at the end. “Ethan returned early. I thought you were with him?”
“I was, but we got into trouble in the middle. It’s good luck that this wild fae showed up out of nowhere and everything turned calm. I sent Ethan back because I needed to take her with me”
“She is….”
“My mate,” He replied without any hesitation. I face-palmed myself hearing his declaration. What got in him? Why can’t he just say another thing than to tell that Jaxson guy so directly.
“Mate? Are you joking man? You said your mate died?” I can feel Jaxson’s surprise in his tone.
“I am fortunate enough. She is alive and I had to brought her back”
I cursed instead. Why am I alive?
~ because we were destined to meet our mate once again~ Eve happily cheered.
Shut up! – I growled.
“Well then I guess you need to take her to the Alpha first” Jaxson replied after some time.
“Yeah, I will be taking her there directly” I felt him nod.
“You need to be faster, Alpha is waiting there for you. Since Ethan has returned he has been waiting for you”
“Got it. See you later bro” I felt him moving again walking past the Jaxson guy, I looked up only to find him glaring at me, like he is trying to make a hole in my body. I frowned at his reaction. What happened to him now? We looked at eachother till I felt John taking a turn and I couldn’t see Jaxson anymore.
“How long are you planning to dangle me on your shoulder?” I huffed.
“Till we reach the study,” he replied.
“Wow, should I feel happy? You want to show your Alpha my butt first?” I said sarcastically. “Well, actually it’s not a bad idea though, everyone said I have a big bad ass to flaunt”
A sharp pain tingled my ass cheek as I hissed. How dare this bastard slap my butt. I let out a frustrated groan.
“If you fucking utter a word again, this big bad ass of yours will be red as blood. And it’s not an empty threat” he warned. God his cold tone is fucking sexy.
~ I like his slap~ Eve purred.
“How dare you-” I couldn’t finish as I felt another pain. I hissed as the pain caused my body to shiver.
“Try me again, I won’t hold back. Your ass will be red before we meet Alpha”
I choose to stay silent. I don’t think my ass could take another blow. I never knew this man would do this kind of act. He looked all simple on the surface, didn’t he?
~ he is gruff, I want to have him right now ~ Eve hissed.
“Ah, your wolf likes the slap” I heard him say, making me groan. I didn’t know he couldn’t guess it.
“Don’t talk nonsense” I snapped angrily. My butt is already in pain. He really used his strength in the slap he gave me.
“You know it better if I was talking nonsense or not. Your wolf likes it. She likes little dirty kinks, doesn’t she?”
“Shut up. Don’t make me slap you”
“I need to put a lot of effort into training that little mouth of yours. You curse a lot my sweet, you need to have a good control on that because I don’t like it”
“Fuck off, who are you to dictate what should I do?” I glared at him over my shoulder.
“I am your mate, and no one disrespects me here” he growled.
I smirked “maybe you need to change your thinking then. I am your rejected mate, let me remind you if you forgot”
“Don’t worry, you won’t get a chance to say that rejected word again. I promise you that” his words seem like he is talking to himself more than me.
“What are you talking about? We can’t change the fact that we have a rejected bond. Why do you refuse it all the time?” I asked.
“We will talk about it later, we are here” he stopped and put me down to stand. I hissed when his hand brushed over my but.
He smirked, “Does it hurt?”
I glared at him “it’s your fault. How dare you slap my butt?”
“It’s up to you darling. If you behave and be a good girl, then I will reward you” he leaned his face.
I pushed his face away from me “keep your rewards to yourself. Who asked for it?”
“You will be craving for it and I will make sure of it” he smirked and knocked the door.
“Come in” I heard another gruff voice.
“Let’s go” he held my hand and pulled me in with him.
The study room of the Alpha was dark and big. There are several tables kept at the side with a big wooden desk in the middle. A man around John’s age was sitting on a chair. As we walked further into the room the Alpha’s face was visible clearly. He is handsome, but he has tan skin which gives him a dangerous look. His dark amber eyes flashed towards me and immediately it became hard.
“Who’s this?” He asked with his heavy tone. I felt it was gruff at first but it was more boisterous.
“Alpha, she is my mate Reese Clarke” John replied.
“Oh, the mate who was sleeping with another man and got you to reject her?” My face immediately flushed in embarrassment. He knows it all, doesn’t he? But I have to endure the embarrassment because it was my fault.
“Umm… yes” John frowned slightly but replied anyway.
“How come you met her again John? You said she died two years ago?” The Alpha asked again.
“I thought so but I met her again when Ethan and I were returning back”
“Oh, so Miss Resse, have you found him with an intention or it was a coincidence?”
I was surprised at his question. He is showing me clearly, he doesn’t approve of my presence here. I have been with Avan for such a long time and I know how his Alpha’s tone and expression works.
“It’s a coincidence Alpha” I replied.
He suddenly smirked “a woman as ambitious as you, you assuredly estimated I will buy that reason?”
He is getting harder. I knew this. He is picking at me intentionally.
“Alpha?” I heard John ask.
“I am not talking to you John” the Alpha replied with his boisterous tone.
“I am not deceiving Alpha. I have no intention for such a thing nor I have any reason for that” I gritted my teeth. My voice was like a forced one.
“I will see that” then he ignored me and turned to John “I guess you are planning to keep her here?”
“She is my mate, she will stay where I am” John replied sticking to his point of not letting me go.
“She is a rogue John, are you sure of your decision?” Alpha frowned slightly.
“I have no second thought”
“Very well, there will be some rules she had to follow”
“Certainly,” John nodded. He was having a tight grip on my hand, like if he released, I would run away. And maybe that’s what I will be doing.
“My, my, I heard John brought his mate?” A woman walked in. She was beautiful with her curly hair tied in a bun. She has beautiful eyes decorated with ocean blue irises.
“She is Adriana, Alpha’s Mate,” John whispered to me. My gaze certainly followed the woman again.
