Alpha's dangerous Mate

Chapter 7

Savanna

I walked into the weird Boss's office and stood before his desk. With his eye fixated on me, he stared at me without saying anything. And it felt creepy.

Being stared at in such a way, made my body to cringe.

He had a daze look in his eyes, and sometimes, It felt like he was communicating with someone. It was really weird.

"Sir, you asked me to come" I said, calling his attention to me.

He blinked his eyes and finally looked at me with some senses.

"Sit down, Alice" He said to me, with his voice calm while I quickly took my seat before him.

"What is wrong? Why are you blocking the mind link? Just tell me everything and I will listen" He began, taking me aback by his words.

Is he crazy? What does he want to hear? About my passed life? Because honestly, I don't know what to tell him.

Why is it even hard to stay in the same space with him? I could literally hear my heart pounding heavily in my chest for no freaking reason. Anyway, I'm already used to not following my heart so I can't listen to that fool.

Before I could figure out what was happening, he has rounded the table and was now sitting beside me. I turned around to look at him with confusion in my eyes. I don't understand what exactly is this man's problem.

"Alice, you can tell me anything and I will be here for you. What is going on with you? Why are you not recognizing me as your mate?" He pleaded, his voice sounding desperate.

I was simply at loss of words, so I remained quiet. Maybe he saw my quietness as an opportunity, so he grabbed my hands in his and sparks like electric filled my body. I felt a strange feeling as butterflies exploded in my stomach and I felt like pulling him closer while I allow him to kiss me. It's like I'm being controlled by something invisible and I felt flustered. This isn't like me at all.

I saw his eyes change color from gray to black. He leaned closer while I remained fixed in my position, like I was glued. I have never felt this way with anyone before. What is wrong with with me?

He got closer to me and swiftly captured my lips with his. I felt my head spinning as want and desire flooded into me in waves. I have never felt this type of urge to be with a man before. He slid his tongue into my mouth and tasted every corner like he was trying to mark them. And I won't lie, it feels so good, breaktaking and blissful.

But-

It still felt weird to me!

In as much I wanted to let go of myself and embrace this new wonderful feeling, my fear for men and the skeleton they have in their cupboards quickly override my wants.

They are not to be loved, because they don't have love to offer!

This shouldn't be happening, I finally realized myself and pulled away from the weird sweet kiss and with a loud thud, I sent a thunder slap across his face, leaving red marks on his white skin.

I saw disbelief, shock and then pain fill his eyes. But I ignored all of it.

"Don't you ever appear before me again! And as for your work, I'm done" I spat coldly before storming out from the room. I saw the other man that was beside the pervert, and threw him a scathing glare that made him to shiver as I passed him like a breeze.

Honestly, I'm done with the stupid work. This life is not for me and I better look for something else to do. Stuffing my things into my bag, I decisively find my way out of the building.

Roderick

She slapped me for kissing her. I was stunned and couldn't wrap my head around what just happened because I never expected that at all.

My mate slapped me and walked away from me. How could my mate be this fierce and bold? More especially, cruel enough to ignore our mate bond?

I felt humiliated by her. No one has ever raised their hands on me, not even my late parents or my grandfather. And as an Alpha, it hurt my spirit. But the most puzzling thing was that she is my mate, I can't do anything to her. If it were to be someone else, I would have rip that person's head off without a second thought.

But who dares to slap an Alpha in such a humiliating way and goes scot free? My mate!

Moon Goddess, what have I done to you in my previous life?

I gritted my teeth as I lowered my head in confusion.

I was even more confused because of my wolf that was howling and whining in my head.

"Don't just stay there, go after our mate!" He hiss angrily at me.

"But she warned us not to appear before her again" I countered in annoyance.

"But that's the more reason why we should go to her" He said and after thinking about it a little, I decided to chase after her. She is our mate and she ought to be by our side.

I opened the door harshly and was about to rush out from the room when I bumped into my beta. I didn't pay him any attention as I rushed towards her desk, but she wasn't there. She left like she had said.

"Rick, what is it?" Zane asked me confusedly.

"I have to go after her, Zane. She slapped me and ran away" I quickly explained.

"What! Why?" He gasped in shock and I just rolled my eyes at him.

My wolf was still whining in my head, I could feel pain in my chest because she wasn't here. I hissed and ran towards the direction of the elevator, but my beta held me back and I growled at him in irritation which made him to leave me at once.

"Calm down, Rick" he said, infuriating me and my wolf even more.

"My mate is escaping from me and you want me to calm down?" I glared at him.

"She is not going to escape, Rick. But you chasing her looking like this will only scare her away even more. So calm down please, Alpha" He explained and I nodded in agreement and quickly calmed myself down.

"Are you calmed now?" He asked me while I chuckled and headed back to my office, ignoring his meaningless question.

He laughed and followed behind me.

"Zane, what do I do? She doesn't want me to be her mate. I don't even know if she is feeling the bond at all" We sat in my office and I began to pour out my worries and concern. My heart is truly troubled.

"What exactly happened? Tell me, Rick" He urged, and embarrassment gripped me at once.

"I called her into the office and I couldn't control myself, so I kissed her. But who knows that that'd earn me slap from her?" I explained and he began to laugh while I threw daggers at him.

"it's not a laughing matter, Zane" I warned.

"I'm sorry but it's funny. I mean, a badass alpha like you could allow someone to slap him?"

"She is my mate!" I reminded him as a matter of fact. I might be formidable and badass, but I can take anything from my mate.

"Of course, it's only a mate that can do anything and get away. But did she react when you kissed her?" He asked.

"Yes, she seemed like she was enjoying it till she realized herself and then..." I paused a little and grimaced.

"That means that she can feel the pull but she is fighting it" Zane concluded while I nodded in agreement. My mate is rejecting our bond.

"But why, I asked curiously"

"That's something we have to find out. She is from the pack and we know her house. So we can go to her house" Zane suggested while I nodded.

"My wolf said that her wolf is dormant"

"That means she has been going through a lot and might have experienced a truama that made her wolf to become dormant. But something else still concerns me..." He trailed off with a meaningful look in his eyes, and I became more curious. Anything about my mate gets my curiosity piqued.

"What is it?" I asked.

"She threw me a very scary glare that made me to shiver when I stumbled onto her on my way here. She looked different and her Aura was domineering. She is definitely different from the Alice we know" He pointed out and I agreed.

I noticed some changes in her too. She was like a total different person and I don't know why. She wasn't like this before. And it had me thinking. I know something is definitely wrong with her.

"We have to find out" I heard Jimmy's voice in my head. He's also furious and heartbroken over our mate's reaction. It really hurts!

"First, calm yourself and your wolf down and then give her time to relax before we go over to her house" Zane suggested.

I couldn't do anything in the office anymore as my mood was sour. I couldn't get her out of my head, and my wolf was just howling and whining in my head. He wants us to go to our mate. I can't believe that after suffering all this years waiting for out mate, we'll still suffer like this before having her as ours. The pain of being separate from our mate is unbearable. Not knowing her at all was even better than knowing her without touching her.

I decided to mind-link my beta to come to the office. He was just the one attending to so many things since I can't even focus on anything apart from my mate.

I'm missing her so much and I want to see now! I can't wait to see her gorgeous face.

After Zane came to the office, we quickly left the building and as we headed towards my mate's house.

Not all the members of the pack lives in the pack house. Some live in a separate house with their family. I remember that her father had died five years ago when some some rogue had attacked their house. Ever since then, she has been living with her mother and brother who is also one of the warriors.

As we approached her house, I became filled with worry and nervousness. I wondered how she's going to react again, I don't want her to reject me like before. Her silent rejection is killing me. I'm even more happy that she didn't reject me before, but I wondered why she hadn't done that. I mean, with the hatred and anger that was obvious in her eyes, I thought she would've done so. Instead, she warned me not to appear before her again.

It's still puzzling that she could actually give me such an order. She had the audacity to warn her Alpha that way.

Hmmm.... I'm just so confused right now. Alice wasn't like this before, so, why now that she has turned out to be my mate? It's frustrating! I'm just dying with the desire to have her in my arms, but then I will have to take my time and find out what exactly was wrong.

"We're here, Rick" My beta informed me, knocking me out from my head.

I glanced at him but didn't say anything as I silently climbed down from the car. He sighed too, but refrained from saying anything.

I made my way towards the porch, praying that she's at home. And as I approached the porch, a smile crept up my face as her sweet scent hit me so hard. 

This was all I need to know that she was indeed at home.
