My mate, my b*****e

CHAPTER SEVEN..

ADONIS’s POV

Right from the journey from England, I knew this girl was different. The way she talked without fear and even behaved, her father must not have told her about the dangers of being near me.

I hated her guts and I was going to make her pay for her fathers sins.

The moment Ariel led her through the doors again, for a moment I can’t help but keep looking at her. She looked so good in that dress but that was not what caught my attention, she had a scarf with her. Who told her she was allowed to have a scarf with her? I was aware of the fact that she was not one among us but when you are in Rome, you behave like the Romans?

After she walked into the middle of the room, i could see how nervous she felt. All eyes were on her and for a moment I badly wanted to laugh but I didn’t.

“Sit down” I told her but she nodded in the negative.

“I will stand” charlotte answered which made my forehead to crease into a slight frown. Was she trying to flaunt my orders now?

“Moreover I have an injury on my leg and I can not sit” she added.

The people beside her were trying to whisper to her to take a seat but the lady in front of me was adamant, she was firm in her resolve.

“Pray tell me Mr Adonis” she bagan to talk again, “what exactly did I do to warrant such punishment from you? I am only the daughter of the man who owe you something, why are you punishing me?”

My lips curled into a slight smile as she asked her question, i badly wanted to snap her head in half and see if she would have enough energy to banter with me again.

After a while, I stood up and began to make my way towards where she was standing.

“Drop it” I said and a look of confusion flashed through her face, I was guessing she didn’t understand what I meant,

“Drop it, charlotte” I said again and yanked the scarf away from her body while I grabbed her neck.

“What did I tell you, charlotte?” I snarled in anger as I tightened the grip on her neck, I hated stubborn women the most and this one in front of me was just courting death,

“If your father doesn’t bring what I asked for within a week, I will not hesitate to feed you to my hungry wolves” I told her and for a split second, my eyes drift over to her long wavy hair which was somewhat annoying.

I wanted the lady in front of me to submit to me, I wanted her to be scared of me and beg me for her life.

After a while, I let go of her neck and just when she wanted to heave a sigh of relief, i grabbed a hold of her hair and chopped a good part of it off. I could hear the silent murmur from the crowd and she immediately turned to me with disdain and disgust written all over her face.

“My hair” charlotte screamed as tears welled up in her eyes, “you just cut my hair” she added and the smile on my lips intensified.

“Why?” I asked while leaning forward, “what will you do?”

“Do you know this is the pride of an English woman?” She wanted to talk but I didn’t even let her finish, i grabbed her neck and pulled her closer to me,

“Like I said charlotte Hawkins, until your father pays what he owes, you belong to me. I will do as I please with you and yours is to follow my orders, have I made myself clear?

With my hand still on her neck, tears began to stream down her eyes.

With a smirk still lingering on my lip, i shove her to the ground and make my way back to my chair as she winced in pain.

“You might as well kill me now” charlotte hissed in pain, “maybe that will make you happy”

“We should teach her a lesson” Victoria hissed while walking up to her, “you can not talk to him like that”

“You are a woman” Charlotte went ahead to say again, “you should be taking my side and not his”

“Take her away and lock her up in the dungeon, I will decide what to do with her later”

Just as some of my men walked up to her and try to yank her off the floor, Ariel immediately went on her knees in front of me.

“Master, please” she began to beg, “she is just a naive girl who doesn’t understand our ways here. Please if you may wish, I will teach her everything she needs to know until she is taken to the academy”

I lean forward, my hands tapping my knees lightly with my gaze fixated on her,

“Very well then” i said after a while and stood up, “I will hold you responsible if anything goes wrong” with that, I turned on my heel and walked out of the room and a certain someone followed me, i could already guess who it was.

The moment I threw the doors of my chambers open, a certain someone encircled my waist from behind and rested her head on my shoulder. It was only one person in the whole pack that had the nerve to even enter my room.

“

Aren’t you supposed to be doing your work?” I asked her, not bothering to even turn my attention to her.

“I could see how stressed you are, I wanted to keep you company” Victoria responded as she came in front of me, a sexy smile tugging at the edge of her lips, “that girl have stressed you out a lot, Adonis”

“Master” I hissed and her forehead creased into a slight frown, “because I f**k you doesn’t mean you have the right to call me by my name, Victoria” by now, my hands were carrassing her bare skin and a smirk was lingering on my face, “you are no different from the others, do you hear me?”

“Of course master” a hint of disappointment was laced in her voice, “I am sorry to have overstepped my boundaries” she further added and I nodded.

“You should leave”I said after a while, “I want to be alone”

“Yes master” she bowed to me and walked out of the room while my mind drifted off to the English girl and I couldn’t help but grit my teeth in anger. Everything about her annoyed me, the way she looked and even talked. If I had my way now, I would have torn her into shreds.

My thoughts were interrupted when a soft knock resonated on my door and the door pushed open.

“A letter arrived for you from England” Zeth announced as he sauntered into the room with a grim look on his face. Between me and my beta, I was not sure who looked more scary.

“Hawkins must be really devastated” I mocked as I collected the letter from him, “he couldn’t even wait for a day”

“Will you still send her to the academy if that old man actually brings what you asked him too?” Zeth asked me.

“Why?” I inquire back as I tore the letter open, “does she irritate you already?”

“I hate English girls” Zeth responded and i couldn’t help but chuckle a little.

“Let’s see how well Hawkins deliver then” I said after a while, my eyes traveling over the letter and my forehead creased into a deep frown, who did that English man think he was joking with?

In anger, I tore the paper into shred and began to undress myself, I was not even in the mood to give him a bed befitting reply.

“The king has invited you for his daughter’s birthday ball tomorrow, I told him you won’t be available but he said to tell you anyways”

Zeth said again and I groaned in anger.

“Which daughter?”

“The one who claims to be your mate” he answered and the look on my face changed, how dare he?

“Very well then, why don’t I give them a grand ball?”

“What are you planning on doing?”

“What do you think?” A wicked smirk appeared on my face as my thoughts continued to wander through my head, “it will be a ball to remember I tell you”

“Very well then” Zeth said as he stood up and made his way towards the door, “suit yourself”

“Keep an eye on that English girl” I told him and he almost rolled his eyes before walking out of the room.
