Chapter 2
Crystal
I exhale, exhausted from all the work done. I for one, can't wait to get out of this shop reeking of werewolf and gossip. Aaron pauses at the counter where I stood taking order for the customers while smiling because it's part of my job.
"Are you free tomorrow night darl" He asks while flashing me that smile which would have got any girl wiling at his feet and that he wants agreeing but it just doesn't work for me.
The last thing I would do is to get involved with a werewolf, I can't even see it in a thousand years.
I frown at him letting him know very clearly that I am displeased with the idea of going out with him.
"Try someone else. Do you always have to try and get rejected every time" I answer him bluntly and remove my apron.
I mean looking at Aaron, he is everything a girl will want in a man. He is handsome, youthful and caring but that one Werewolf factor has quenched his name in my good books.
"Why? Because I am a werewolf? I see the way you look like you're disgusted and brush off every werewolf who shows interest in you. Are you worried about mating? Not to worry my, mate rejected me so I am free to mate with anyone especially and including a human" He explains.
"Your explanation does not change a thing and as for worrying about your mate? Not to worry, I am not bothered" I answered him with my usual offhanded voice before finally walking into Elyssa's office.
"What now? What do you want again" Elyssa asks with her usual not so kind voice. She didn't even spare me a glance. I hate their smelling instincts sometimes.
I'm definitely going to do my revenge on her before leaving for College. But let's just keep calm for the main time.
"I came to let you know I will be leaving a bit early before Alpha Damien's guards parade the town..." I report
"Yeah... Like I care now sign the log book and you're excused" She orders me without even glancing my way.
I quickly sign the workers log book and walk out of the shop. I feel so tired and so refreshed to step out of that shop and I can't wait to get home and have a nice soaking and a very nice sleep.
I spot a Ice cream shop and decide to have one.
"Crystal, you've worked so hard today and you deserve to give yourself a treat" I tell myself while grinning.
I crossed over and walk in. The entire shop is packed with different ranks of wolves in a meeting, whatever kind of meeting they hold everyday. As I walk in, every creature in the room turn around to look at me. Sone were openly glaring, while some were literally growling. The days of being scared of them is over.
Yeah. None of you scare me no more.
"One big cup of ice cream please" I tell the lady behind the counter what I want to order.
"You're human right? I can smell it miles away. You're so brave too you know? Humans don't come here since they are scared of werewolves. You might want to get out of here as soon as you can. Werewolves don't seem to like your kind..." The lady says to me.
I rolled my eyes as she passes me the Big tub of Ice cream. I pay the money and turn around while trying to cover the big tub after stealing a spoon out of it.
Just then, I hear everyone gasp. Then my Ice cream tub falls on the floor after it splashed on someone.
Shit. What a crappy day. It just had to splash on someone's suit.
I looked up and my breath caught in my throat. Now, in front of me is a very fine werewolf specimen. He is definitely the most good looking man on earth but too bad he is just another werewolf.
He wasn't even reacting just openly glaring at me. Then, another fine male werewolf beside him speaks up.
"You're human" He states as a matter of fact.
"Yes I am." I turn towards the guy I splashed my ice cream on.
"I'm sorry for splashing my ice cream on you but it's only manners you don't walk so close to anybody. You were too close to me and that's why the ice cream splashed on you. So in that case, can I get a refund because you were the one who wasn't looking."
The lady that attended to me rushed forward
"Alpha! I am sorry for this debacle" She said fear filled and trembling.
"Mate" The Alpha suddenly growled making everyone quiet.
Shit. Shit. Shit. I just splashed a tub of Ice cream on Alpha Damien and demanded for my money back? I am so dead.
I push by the guy standing beside him and run. I run as far as my legs could carry me until I reached the safety of my apartment then locked the door.
I stood behind the door for some seconds breathing very loud from the workout.
My Ice cream, I almost cry aloud.
"Finally I am safe." I mutter to myself and was still panting when Ariel appeared.
"Everything alright with you?" She asks, worried.
"I'm in so much trouble" I slump into the sofa in the sitting room.
This isn't the way I planned to end my day. I was supposed to end it in a warm tub and going to bed.
I honestly just hope he won't send his men after me.
Damien
After instructing all my guards to parade the town in search of those rogues, I was already feeling really irritated. Like what the actual fuck? All these talk of mate is getting to me and now I'm feeling down in the trenches.
"Can we go home early? I have an appointment with someone" I smirk.
"If it is not Dana? She's a fine lady but we can't go yet, not anytime soon. We're both here for one thing and it is to look for our mates" Nathan chides.
I only shrug
"Ooh. There's an ice cream shop. I haven't had one in a while. Want to get one with me?" Nathan asks
"No." I refuse immediately. An Alpha slurping on Ice cream, how delectable.
"Thank you so much. Why aren't you my mate instead?" Nathan coos while not taking my answer into consideration
"Let's go." He says and pulls my arm along. I pull my hand out of his hold and just follow wordlessly.
As soon as I walked in, everyone noticed and acknowledged my presence. They all bow but I didn't acknowledge them because a familiar scent wafted straight into my nose. The kind of familiar scent that's sweet but that same scent you can taste but can't recognize. That scent got me already distracted but I still couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
"What is wrong?" Nathan asks, noticing as I sniff the air in all directions in search of the origin of the scent.
My wolf was restless inside me as it kept on muttering the word "Mate".
I guess my mate is in the room, just then, a bitch splashed her Ice Cream on me.
Chapter 3She gasps and stares at me for a few seconds.Nathan asked her something and she replied but I wasn't paying attention. Her scent has got me stupefied and stuck and glues on a spot just saying nothing.She then turn to me and spoke to me."I'm sorry for splashing my ice cream on you but it's only manners you don't walk so close to anybody. You were too close to me and that's why the ice cream splashed on you. So in that case, can I get a refund because you were the one who wasn't looking." I frown at her words still not able to comprehend what she is sayingThelma, the girl manning the counter quickly rushed forward."Alpha! I am sorry for this debacle" She said fearfully and bowed in apology."Mate!"My wolf growled. Just as if she knows who I am or whatsoever that is wrong with her, she pushed past Adam and runs out.The Alpha in me was overly furious that my mate just spoke down to me, she literally spoke to me without an ounce of respect or submission and the most annoyi
"My mate is the one who opened the door by calling me a bastard..." He simply answers with a bored face "...You are my mate and you're human so it's only right that you can't figure it out on your own." He continues "How do you know I'm your mate? Who made me your mate?" I sneer at him He totally ignores my question and continues what he was saying. "Like I said, you can not figure that by yourself but don't worry, soon enough the mate bond will pull you towards me" He says as a matter of fact statement and looks at the home we live in with his cold and bored "You must have a really wild imagination. Imagine me, your mate? You come to my house, call me your mate and what? You look on us like we are just mere people" The way he looked over my house is plain annoying. "Literally, there is only one person that's not mere in this house and that's Ariel. You are mere as you just said." He replies to my ranting like I'm not even talking to him and that makes me get angrier. Think of
Chapter 5****Crystal*After the close of work on that day, I decide to take the ice cream route again.Well, not because I want to see him or so I think.I really hate this mate pull.When I get to the front of the building, I stop for a moment and look inside.The fiery part of me decides to go in for clout.As soon as I enter, I receive the same reaction as last time.Talk about a feeling of Deja Vu I mutter to myself as I head to the counter.The lady at the counter is the same as last time. Good thing I overheard her name."Hi Thelma. I couldn't have my ice cream the other day so I came for it again.""Good afternoon." She answered me while bowing"Why will you bow to me?" I ask her confused and looking around, everyone has become silent and was watching usThe air became really weird and I became uncomfortable."You are a property of the Alpha so I have to bow." Thelma explains, this time looking at me but not straight to the eyes"I am NOBODY'S property" I clarify for her whil
Chapter 6*Crystal*Alpha Damien slams his lips on mine in one breathtaking moment. For a minute I'm lost just savoring his oh so soft and manly lips.He releases my hands from above my head and pushes me to the bed. That ready to be laid on bed from earlier.I hit the bed and bounce back up for a split second and Damien falls right above me. Shifting his weight so he's not suffocating me, he leans down again and kiss me. This time with his hands in my hair and the steam in the air from our bodies.Moon!He knows just how to twist and turn his lips to pleasure a woman and how to disengage leaving me high and dry...WHAT?!He simply took his lips off mine and pushed me away to the end of the bed.I think I was just deceived."You think I'll let you reject me?"Ah. That's it."You are a mere human. You rejecting me? An Alpha rejected by a mere human. The audacity you have." He breathes out without even looking at me."I Crystal Lucario..." I start again with my anger at full boiling po
Chapter 7"Don't you dare call me small and weak because I'm human. We are the normal species. What are you? Man and Wolf?" She spat with so much venom.If I didn't know she is human, I'd have thought she is a snake demon with all her venomous words.I give Adam a look that spoke volumes. The I Told You So kind of look. He understood immediately and just stood at a corner watching the human vent away.*Crystal* He isn't listening to me nor is he saying a word. I think for a fact he likes me being this way, frustrated and angry.Not that I know anything about mates but gathering from what Ariel told me Mates are nothing like Damien. But what kind did I end up with? If I should say myself, I'll say he's the worst. An Alpha that locks his mate up and teases her in bed.Not that I minded the kiss...What the fuck am I thinking now? I mentally facepalm.My eyes scan the table and I smirked when they landed on the filled glass of alcohol beside the balls. Imagine how much satisfaction
Chapter 7. But I have to admit, him running his fingers through his hair is kinda cute and I couldn't stop myself from staring at his well musculated arms. "Are you done lusting after my body now"He suddenly growled with a teasing voice I snorted, very unladylike I have to admit "You wish" I blush a little although knowing it's a lie I could watch his body flex and all those muscle mass contracting and coming together for an entire day. The water I poured on him made his shirt stick to his body and it is OH MY MOON. I can literally see the chiseled body beneath the shirt. He is going to be the death of me but I won't ever show it until I get what I want. "I know am a piece of chocolate but eye fucking me isn't going to do you any good" He replies arrogantly. "First of all, I'm not a big fan of chocolate but If that makes you sleep well at night. Now get on with that offer thing"I said a bit desperately. Fuck Bit. Very desperately and impatiently. "Look I am an Alpha as you kno
*Crystal* I woke up the next morning feeling really comfortable. The bed was soft and heavenly, a total and very welcome difference from the one I had back at my apartment. I almost thought I was in heaven cause I hadn't slept in something that soft. And bouncy too. Wonder what it'll feel like to have sex in that bed. So early in the damn morning and I already have crazy thoughts. It's obviously going to be a very crazy day. I put on my clogs and unlock the door. I walk down the corridor which I think leads to Damien's room. I was getting fiercely dragged yesterday so I didn't really pay attention to the road where the guards took to Damien's room. I really need to see Ariel and in order to see her I need to speak to Damien, my captor and take permission. Fuck him. I stop in front of a familiar door and knock a few times before his deep arrogant and unmistakable voice ordered me to leave. I could have sworn I had only one condition last night and it was that I asked him to trea
*Damien*Few Days later....Part of me does not totally agree with her attending Fang and If it was up to me I wouldn't let her go there but I think she really needs it.The world of the wolves is a tough place and she has to be a tough woman to make her way. For someone like her who has no fear to speak her mind, all she needs is the strength to back her words up. Anyway, my men are going to keep an eye on her so I should stop worrying about her.Why am I even worrying about her in the first place?She hasn't said a word ever since she got into the car. I guess she's just nervous as her hands are shaking in her laps. Human nervousness is kind of cute. There are a lot of things about her that I find cute anyway. The way she runs her hands through the back of her neck too only makes me want to pin her to the walls at times and she does it an awful lot of times which makes me want to take her to my bed an awful lot of times.What am I thinking?!I drive into the parking lot and parked t
