Laura’s POV
“… I reject you…”
The words still rang some sort of bell in my head and my stomach tightened. My wolf immediately felt sad and I could feel her despair.
She was probably not expecting that we’ll get rejected by our mate but what were we thinking? That Alpha Devin would accept us with open arms.
My wolf got calm and I felt the hot tears burning at the back of my eyes. It took every ounce of strength in me to stop me from crying and I held my chest as I leaned against the door for support.
“So, I want you to listen because I have a few rules that when broken gets ugly,” Alpha Devin started and I couldn’t help but wonder.
Doesn’t the mating bond mean anything to him at all? How was it so easy to act like he didn’t feel the pull?
“Firstly, we’re not mates and whatever it is you’re feeling should be kept aside as that shouldn’t interfere with our business.” He continued, pausing as he raised a finger and turned to look at me.
His eyes were now redder than they were and it seemed as though it got darker each minute. His pupils dilated with anger and disgust as he stared me up and down before moving his head to look ahead.
“Secondly, I bought you and I did that because you will bear me a child. After that, I’ll let you go.” He continued and my eyes widened.
He doesn’t want me for anything more than just being his breeder?
“We’re mates and married in the eyes of everyone but when we are together, you will not touch me, we’ll sleep in different rooms and you will not speak until I ask you to.” I listened carefully as he laid down the rules and the reason as to why he bought me in the first place.
“Understood!” He roared and I nodded back and forth multiple times before vocally answering his questions and repeating what he said after him.
We got to his pack and Devin wasted no time in asking the maids to get me ready even though I had no idea why, “get her ready as soon as possible.” He ordered and before I could say anything two female maids dragged me away.
They cleaned and dressed my wounds that were still open, I winced in pain and my stomach growled. I was hungry, I hadn’t really eaten anything.
I was grateful when one of the maids handed me a tray of food and without thinking twice, I ate everything on the plate and soon I was ready.
They both walked out with me and I saw Alpha Devin, he wasn’t dressed too fancy and the room was slightly empty with just both of us and a priestess.
What is going on?
Each step I took was painful since my feet still hurt, my body ached and at some point it felt as though my legs couldn’t carry me anymore but I was supported by the maids.
I stood in front of him and all his stares were cold and deadly and with the priestess around, I knew it was a wedding. He didn’t say anything to me all through the ritual and whatever he had to say, he didn’t have to open his mouth.
His actions did the talking, his eyes darting around but never meeting mine. I looked around and I couldn’t help but wonder if this could still be classified as a wonder. I’d hoped other people would come too.
But, I was wrong. It was only Alpha Devin, I, the priestess and a few of the servants served as witnesses as the priest joined us both together.
I’ve never been so disheartened in my life, I pictured the perfect little life for myself and meeting my mate and finally getting to leave my stepfather was one of the reasons I always held out hope.
What do I do now that I found my mate but he doesn’t want me as much as I want him?
My body ached and yearned for him even though it shouldn’t, my wolf wasn’t taking the rejection easily and whatever I did to get her to cheer up proved futile.
The wedding was soon over and everyone departed. I was walking with one of the maids so they could show me to my room when Alpha Devin stopped us.
“My Chambers, Now!” He ordered and the maids including me turned as we all made our way to his chambers.
Confused, I watched as they pulled my clothes off and only left me with an undergarment before leaving me alone in the room.
I sat on the chair as I patiently waited for Alpha Devin, I had no idea what was about to happen or why I was being left alone in the room.
The door opened and he walked in, shutting the door behind him, I watched as he pulled his shirt off and I gulped down spit as I took in every of his figure.
His back was perfectly built, every muscle revealing as he flexed and when he turned to face me, my jaw dropped at once.
I marveled at the breadth of his shoulders, his hard chest was a work of art and I felt the urge to press my hands against it while I ran my finger down his body.
“Pull off the underwear.” He said and not waiting for a second order, I pulled off my underwear so that I was now standing naked in front of him.
My nipples got hard the moment he stepped in front of me and his chest felt marvelous against my breast. Tracing his fingers down from my face to my nipples, he twirled his fingers around it and nibbled with it before placing his mouth on it and sucked hungrily.
The feeling was one like never before, I felt a drip between my legs and I rubbed my thighs hard against each other, my knees were weak and I had no idea how long I could stand for.
Just when I was still thinking, Alpha Devin, stopped sucking on my breast and wrapping his palm around my neck he moved me till I fell on the bed.
He placed his hard weight on me and it wasn’t long until I felt something hard make its way inside my pussy. It was painful at first but it soon became pleasurable.
I let out a moan of pain and pleasure as I tugged on the sheets and closed my eyes while he thrusted deep and hard inside me, every ounce of him filling me up and leaving me yearning for more.
Maybe after this, he’ll retract his statement and make me his mate again.
Chapter four LauraIt had been about three weeks since I have lived at Alpha Devin's pack. What had happened in the past weeks hadn't been something I would have imagined for myself, ever in my life.After Alpha Devin had sex with me the first night, I had thought that he would somehow change and accept me after that, but instead he asked the servants to take me to my room.My room was basically a holding cell with a small, a table and a chair. The door was made of thick oak, so I could barely hear anything that was going on outside. The only source of sunlight was through a small high up in the wall that even if I climbed up on the chair, I still couldn't reach it.I was so confused at that moment and I started banging on the door and asking why I had been locked up, and a servant said that it was because the Alpha didn't want me roaming the palace because people might see me, or even worse I might run away.I had stayed quiet and waited patiently, hoping that he would finally come
LauraI laughed as I rolled on my squeaking bed, finding what my wolf had said really funny. She had to be paying some kind of prank on me.'Thanks for the joke. It was really needed.' I said to her, waiting for her response.'I'm not joking, Laura. You're pregnant, and have been for a few days.'The smile on my lips afded away as I sat up in my bed realization dawning on me, the smile on my face disappearing.This is bad, really bad. I really couldn't afford to be pregnant at the time with Alpha Devin acting aggressively with me. If he found out, that would only give him more reasons to keep me hostage and I didn't want that.I ran my fingers through my hair before burying my face in my hands. I had to think of something, and fast. My head snapped up as a thought dropped in my mind.Would he change his behavior towards me if he found out that I was pregnant for him?That thought began to make me doubt every other thing that I had been thinking. Alpha Devin was my mate, and no matter
DELVIN POVMy mind has always been complicated, and I blame that on my upbringing…Resting my forearm on the couch I thought of how the day had gone, my mind going back for a minute to Laura. For what seemed like a minute, I tried to take my mind away from the fact that I might have been too mean —Even if there was nothing to justify my point.I clenched my fist as the thought of how my life would have turned out if I had my parents drifted through my mind.Though, there was every chance I might have been weaker than the way I had turned out, it didn't change the fact that my general Outlook of life would have changed.Deep in my heart, a dark cloud hovered one begotten from the hate I had for Laura's father.As I puffed out the smoke from the cigarette I was smoking watching the mist drift through the air, all that clouded my mind was her father fucking face.The image of his face was definitely what I had seen in my nightmares for years, and having gotten the chance to take reve
LAURAThere was just one thing on my mind and that was getting away from my toxic husband as fast and as far as I could.It was the only thing that was necessary at that moment, as I was dealing with something far more greater —Fear.I could feel my hair stuck to my sweat-soaked face, as the evening was hot or rather it was from the adrenaline that was pumping through me vigorously.Deep in my chest, I could feel as my heart pounded without a pause.As my pace slowed down from me becoming weary, all I thought of was stupid I had been all this while, hoping that Delvin would change for the better.He never did, despite those nights of tears after I had been violated by this man that should love me, he never at one point looked at me like I was something he could have an atom of feeling toward —And I was done dealing with all of it.I rested my wrists on the top of my head, trying to catch my breath while my eyes unwillingly coasted the darkening wood.All I had was my sight and scent
LAURAThe sight of the wolf sent my heart racing, as it took a while for me to tell if this was still a dream or what I was experiencing was reality.I shut my eyes, listening to the distant beat of my heart, heavily thudding against my rib cages till the sound was quite glaring.As my mind raced, I muttered a word under my breath of how I hoped this was all a dream I wanted so badly to wake up from.The more the hours trickled by the more evident it became that I wasn't dreaming—This was fucking reality.I opened my eyes and stared into the yellow eyes of the wolf that was before me—That apparently had the wrong color of pupil — Looking deep into the yellow eyes of the beast, I could tell it was most definitely an Omega and definitely not wild as it deep down in its core I could see humanity.What if this was one of his men?I thought to myself, it was hard to even think with the beast walking toward me on all paws.I closed my eyes again, this time for the worse as it was merely fee
LAURA.Turned out his name was Steve—This beautiful soul that saved me from a catastrophe waiting to happen.To me it was the most beautiful name, and a part of me felt I owed him.In a way I couldn't help looking back at his face.It seemed quite reflective, and so radiating that I could almost see my face in it. It's Steve's face of course. Long dark hair, matching eyes that were piercing deep into my soul, a smooth voice that sounded like music to my ears—it wasn't just my wolf clinging to this very gorgeousness. I was as well.“ . . . What would you like for dessert?" It was the first time he was speaking at that table.During that short while I could tell that he rarely spoke, and when he did, it was beautiful. So breathless…breathtaking.Seeing that I was being indecisive, he beckoned to a maid."Trust me on this one.” He winks. Turning his attention back to the maid that just arrived at his side of the table.I turned to the other end of the table where the lady I had seen
I wasn't sure if I was making the right decision, but I walked side by side next to him, and he kept staring at me.I chuckled, and he turned to me before he could spill what he had in his mind.“Steve!” A voice called from the main house.He groaned and turned to me, “Give me a minute, I’ll be right back” he said to me with a smile and walked into the main house to join his parents.I walked around the garden all by myself and the night was silent and peaceful, soothing my insecurity and burdens.“How can he possibly have feelings for me”“Is he sure about what he is saying?”“He barely knows me”“What if I am a spy from his enemy?” I thought to myself as I walked around.I wasn't sure if I was judging him or judging myself.He is entitled to his feelings, I am no one to judge what he feels, but I can't bring myself to accept his feelings, a feeling of barely forty-eight hours.“It's just impossible” I mumbled.It's even more absurd that I can't even tell what I feel toward him, “I
LAURA “Trapped” is the only word I can use to describe how I felt. The last thing I want to do is burden him with my problems but he keeps insisting I stay, in addition to that he says he loves me.“Me! Of all people, why me? How on earth will he have such feelings toward me? In my opinion I should be the last person he will have such feelings toward.I nervously stroll around the garden, rummaging my wobbling hand through my hair for the umpteenth time, trying to find at least one reason, just one to justify the fact that Alpha Steve loves me. “I am pregnant for goodness sake. Pregnant with someone else's child and he knows that!” I was frustrated and wiped away the tears slipping down my cheek.After roaming around helplessly for an hour or so, I gave up and made my way back to my room.I hastened my pace as I saw Amy coming my way, not wanting her to see my teary face at all. I immediately change my route and hurriedly walk into my room, slamming the door behind me and locking th
