Sold to the Cursed Alpha

MY REASONS

KARA

All my things were moved to Alpha Dominic’s room a day after our wedding. It wasn’t much, but I’m still worried he will get annoyed by my presence. My eyes roamed the room. I didn’t really have the opportunity to observe the place the last time I was here.

We got… busy.

I lightly tapped my cheeks, trying to stop myself from thinking about it, but failed miserably. It kept haunting me, not the marks he was hiding behind his mask or even the fact that he kissed me, but the look in his eyes that time.

A part of me wishes that it was genuine, that maybe he felt our bond and was willing to accept me as his mate, but I know that it would never happen. He wanted to put me in place at that time, and the reason why I’m here right now is because I have to fulfill the end of the bargain. Like he said, nothing else and nothing more. I was terrified for so many reasons, but there was no way of turning back anymore.

I was startled when the door suddenly opened. I should have felt his arrival, but I was too absorbed in my thoughts. My mind was suddenly in chaos, panicking without a clear reason.

My wolf whimpered after yet another failed attempt to connect with his wolf. I’ve never heard of a one-way mate bond before, but I have no intention of asking or telling anyone. They would only accuse me of lying if I did and create another drama when I already have so much on my plate.

Alpha Dominic stared at me, his intense gaze compelling me to stand from my seat, fearing I had done something wrong.

“I-I was told that I’ll have to stay here from now on. I’m sorry if I…” I trailed off, not knowing what exactly to apologize for. My mind was blanking out on me.

He moved closer to me, still looking at me intently. I swallowed the lump in my throat. I wanted to know what was going on in his mind, but his eyes barely showed any emotions.

“You’re pathetic, just like the others who fret when they see me. You also follow needlessly.” I was taken aback by his remark, feeling my heart sink from his insult.

I forced a smile, “You’re my Qlpha. It is my duty to follow you, and I know my place in this pack. But I still have my own disposition and principles in life, Alpha Dominic.”

A grin formed on his face, “And yet you’re still here, aren’t you?”

“With all due respect, Alpha, I have my reasons,” I responded almost immediately. What I was doing was very risky, answering the Alpha as if I were his equal, but my remaining dignity was all I had left.

My wolf whimpered again, questioning the Goddess why this was done to us. Even my wolf finds it unfair. Being an omega was already hard enough. Growing up, barely anyone wanted to befriend me, let alone talk to me as if they already knew that I was inferior to them. It’s so unfair.

“Point still stands.”

Dominic stood closer. I wanted to stand my guard, but my knees immediately weakened just from his gaze. Whether from the instinct to submit or the fear that he’d break me, I didn’t know anymore.

“I don’t understand you. Why do you keep doing this to me? Why do you keep asking me those kinds of questions?” I couldn’t take it and asked. He had no idea what I was feeling right now, how torn I was about what we were, and how my heart shattered every time we talked like this.

He grabbed me. I saw bitterness in his eyes. “Because I hate the likes of you. You talk like we’re equal like you’re different from the rest, but the truth is you’re just like everyone else. You are terrified of me, and that’s how it should be.”

“I didn’t ask for this,” I mumbled with a low voice. My eyes watered, blurring my vision, but I still looked at him. I wasn’t terrified of you, not the way you thought. I wanted to tell him but stopped myself.

“Too bad.” He held me and threw me on the bed. Tears continued to stream down my face, but he didn’t give me any care. His hands quickly roamed my body, touching me in places I’d never let anyone else touch. My mother always told me that our mates are people made specifically for us by the Goddess. I always dreamed that he would be able to accept me for who and what I am.

But here I am…

Before I knew it, his mask was already off, and so were half of my garments. Alpha Dominic had no problem tearing them apart. He kissed me, explored my body, and made me feel like I was melting into nothingness. My whole body yearned for him, submitting to the bond without question, but I couldn’t help but feel like I was taken advantage of.

“Mine… you’re mine.” He growled. His voice melded with his wolf’s, making it deeper and more authoritative. It was like I was his prey and had completely fallen for his trap. It would only hurt more if I struggled.

My wolf wanted me to speak out and tell him the truth, but what good would it even do at this point? Instead of arguing, I firmly closed my eyes and didn’t respond to any of his remarks.

This will be over eventually…

He went on and on, using me until I was screaming his name. Dominic made sure to ingrain the sole purpose of why I was here... and that I wouldn’t be able to walk easily tomorrow.

I quietly wept while wondering to myself why I still bothered to cover myself up after he was done. I glanced at the clock that was barely visible in the dark room. It was four in the morning. Around five hours… I don’t remember how many times we had done it, but it’s a miracle I could still get up.

I took a deep breath and wiped my tears. There shouldn’t be tears when he’s simply doing what he bought me for. I shouldn’t be expecting him to be gentle or treat me with a bit of respect, either.

“As long as I have my reasons, I would stay here. I have to.” I mumbled, staring at his back as he lay facing opposite of me. I don’t know if he could hear me, but I’m determined to stay.

Once I’m through with this, I will take Lianne away. Nothing else would matter anymore.
