The Alpha and The thief

The past catching up

OLIVIA'S POV

Will took me to the shops that I had never dreamed of ever entering, these were shops that I had only entered when I was looking to score something, and here I was shopping for new clothes in them today. I had never seen or understood the purpose of shopping for a thousand-dollar shoe when you could get it for a lower price or in my case when you could just steal it. Will took me to a shop that sold Prada shoes and insisted that I take a few pairs, I hated the fact that I was being introduced to this luxury life without my only family but that didn't mean I was going to say no to the gifts.

I made sure to pick the clothes in sizes that fit Mia and Kelly too so that they could also get something out of this. I also picked a few shoes for them that I knew they would like, I was happy and grateful that Will had taken me shopping because then I wouldn't have had anything to steal them when I finally left their house because I was being watched closely and monitored. However Having these clothes meant that I had gained something by being here after all and not all had been lost.

"I am hungry now can we sit and have some lunch" Will suggested as he looked around for a place for us to sit and eat.

"What do you want to eat? I am not really hungry I am just tired. I didn't know shopping could be this tiring" I said as I sighed my legs were heavy from all the walking we had been doing

"You are not much of a girly girl are you? I mean you seem to not have much shopping experience" he mocked

"I have never seen the need for me to spend time shopping at malls when I can get anything I want for free," I said and he laughed as he led me to a Chinese restaurant

"Come on let's sit here, they have the best Chinese food," he said and I shrugged, I had never really eaten any Chinese food so this was going to be another one of my first-time experiences. But there was no way I was going to give Will another opportunity to see just how simple I was

"So how did the stealing thing start?" he asked as we took our seats at the far right of the restaurant that was hidden from the entrance

"Well, when you are an orphan being a thief is kind of like an easy way to survive," I said

"But it must be dangerous too, I mean surely there are a lot of disgruntled victims out there," he said and I immediately thought of Raul

"Not really" I lied "but enough about my adventurous life, I want to know the reason why Dante is so cold toward me," I said changing the uncomfortable topic

"Dante has been through a lot with his previous mate," he said and I laughed

"Do you guys really call your girlfriend's mates?" I asked him as I found that to be very weird

"Yes, it's because the bond means that much to us" he explained,

"So what did she do to him?" I asked

"Well she cheated with the on him with the house help and she even got pregnant for him" he explained

"Yikes, that must have sucked," I said as I sat back on my chair, I almost felt sorry for Dante.

"He has a hard time trusting women and that's the reason why he is so hard on you," he said and I laughed

"But that doesn't make any sense, I am not out here asking to be trusted by him. Dante needs to just release my sisters and let us go back home" I complained

"He has taken an interest in you and that is the reason why he is making these efforts," he said

"Well I am flattered," I said and before Will could continue defending his boss I saw his eyes change and become colder and then I felt a cold hand on my shoulder

I turned around slowly and I was horrified to see that it was Raul behind me and he didn't look happy at all.

"Raul, what the actual f**k?" I whispered and he smirked

"I have been looking for you all over town darling and this is where you have been hiding," he said as he shot a sharp glare at Will who just looked eager to rip Raul's head off.

"Raul..." Will said and I could see there was no love lost between the two of them and the fact that they knew each other was bad news for me but I hoped they wouldn't soon realize that they had more in common than knowing me. The last thing I wanted was them meeting and comparing notes about me.

"Will" Raul nodded "It would do you good to stay away from this one, she is mine" Raul warned and Will laughed

"She belongs to Dante and you will soon realize that," Will said and I hated the fact that they were talking about me like I wasn't here or like I was some kind of property that Dante owned.

"She owes me a lot of money so I own her," Raul said brushing my hair and I knew my fear of him was visible in my eyes

"We will gladly pay you your money back," Will said and Raul let go of me and laughed

"I will see you soon darling" Raul said kissing my cheek and walking away

"Will, tell Dante to be careful," he said as he walked away and I swear I saw Will's eyes change color and become darker.

"I have lost my appetite," Will said through his teeth, and before I could even respond he was up and literally dragging me out of the restaurant and making me wonder what history they had with Raul and why they seemed to hate each other so much.

Will was quiet as we walked out of the mall and right up to the car. He even seemed to be upset with me and a little paranoid, he kept look around as if he was expecting Raul to ambush us and steal me from him. He was holding my hand so tight and I was starting to get a bruise from his hold. We got to the car and the sound of Will slamming the door after he got inside almost caused me to go deaf because it was that loud.

"What the hell is your problem?" I asked him casually as he started the car and he kept quiet for a little while before he responded

"How do you know Raul?" he demanded and I hated the way he was asking me the question, it was as if I owed him some kind of explanation and I didn't.

"That is none of your mother f*****g business Will," I said

"Do you have any idea how dangerous is?" he asked

"Better the devil I know than the devil I don't" I commented and he seemed a little hurt by my comment

"Liv, that guy is very dangerous and now that he knows that Dante has put a claim on you he will probably want you twice as bad," he said and I could see the concern in his eyes which was very unnecessary and dramatic in my opinion.

"Don't worry about me WIll I can handle Raul," I said and he laughed sarcastically

"Do you think I am worried about whether or not you can handle that lame asshole?" he asked

"What are you worried about then Will? because I am telling you I can handle Raul" I said

"I trust that you can handle Raul but what I am asking myself is can you handle a jealous, possessive, and overprotective Dante?" he asked and for some reason that sounded more like a warning than a concern.
