CAN'T SAY NO TO THE WEREWOLF

YOU SHOULD CARE

Dave could feel an unusual weakness in him as he opened his eyes 

slowly trying hard to reprimand what had happened. He despised feeling weak. Due to this he rarely let himself let any situation render him a puppet. He wasn't sure of what happened the previous night though. Why was he unable to resist this human? What could have been so special about her anyways? He stood up slowly trying to adjust his eyes to the light. He had made a mistake. He wasn't supposed to touch her. It was against the rules but he could barely resist her. She came too close and he wasn't sure of how to handle such situations. He was never been around females except his mum. He hated them so much. They were always known as a man's source of weakness. He wasn't ready to feel weak or attempt to get worried for any damn person. He wanted to be by himself and take care of his dreams of having a territory of his own. He needed no woman. Now fully dressed, he grabbed her off the floor by her waist without even making an attempt to wake her up. As he walked at a fast pace, feeling her dangle against his back, he heard a groan and then some mumbling. Now here is the trouble. The lady was awake.

Olivia felt her head ache her like never before. She never drank so she didn't realize how much getting drunk could affect her. Trying to get back to her senses, she felt her stomach struck against something that felt like a shoulder and her head bent toward the ground. She heard a disturbing movement of fast paces which caused her discomfort. 

"What the hell is this?! Let me go now!" She yelled in terror banging him on the back with all the strength she had. 

"Keep quiet. I have no time for weaklings like you" She heard a deep male voice respond to her. 

"Excuse me? Who do you even think you are? Do you know who I am? Who you know the influence I have? Do you know you are a dead man right now for trying to kidnap a princess?" 

"You are my mate. I have no interest in you. I just need to complete my mission" Olivia got perplexed at this statement. Who the heck was this lunatic calling her his mate? What nonsense. 

"I swear if you don't drop me down now,I am going to personally cut off your stupid ugly head"  She bullied him hoping he lets get go. 

"You are a very weak soul aren't you? You think you can ever stay away from me even having proven to me last night you had accepted being my mate?" He asked. 

"Huh? Last night? What nonsense are you saying? I don't even remember what happened last night. I warn you for the last time to let me go" 

"You cannot do anything to an Alpha" 

"LUNATIC! LET ME GO!" She screamed her lungs out feeling enraged now. 

"Fine! Let's see how it goes then" He finally gave in throwing her forcefully to the ground. She brushed her previously bruised arm onto the floor causing it to bleed again. She got baffled wondering how she even got the bruise in the first place. 

"I will ensure you die" She promised pointing her index finger at him trying to fake courage even though she was very timid at that moment. He looked really muscular. Though his face was dreamy, his body looked really mind blowing and attractive. She wasn't sure where her mind was anymore. On her threat or his appearance. 

"You don't remember bonding with the Alpha do you? Well good thing then" He said with a sigh brushing his long hair. 

Bond? Why does he keep doing weird things? She thought. She stared down at herself and got petrified discovering her dirty white royal gown stained with blood stains. Her heart began racing very fast. She could feel her hand trembling. No! It can't be. She shook her head in disapproval. Trying to control her fear, she slowly pulled her gown slightly up her legs. The sight made her want to puke. She felt the mixture of both disgust and confusion as she covered her mouth close to tears. 

"How did this happen? I don't understand." She said still in shock. "I never feel comfortable with any man. Not even the one I love. How can I willingly give myself to you just like that without bulging. You forced yourself on me!" She accused furiously. 

"You are a woman of a loose tongue. Let whatever happened here stay between us. The pack must never know" 

"Well, the pack need not know because I am murdering you this instant" She turned around in search of something to use against him. Overwhelmed she found a large stone, she rushed, picked it up and turned toward him. To her shock, the stone barely stayed a few seconds in her hands before she dropped it nervously. The guy before her transformed right into a werewolf and gave her a very long stern stare. She wasn't sure of what was happening anymore. Tears dripped down her eyes. She recalled her mum's announcement and her sister's warning the week before. 

"No!...No! I love George. I will never agree to be your mate. I can't be for someone else" She tried forcing out words amidst the hot tears that flowed down her cheeks. Without thinking twice, she raced into the woods as far away from him as possible. She wasn't sure where she was going but she knew she was going far away from him. She had no idea how dangerous the forest was and what trouble awaits her. As she ran faster, she felt herself get tired. She felt weak and stopped. Her stomach grumped. She hadn't eaten yet. Looking around her, she found herself surrounded by trees and shrubs. She barely found any path or sign of life anywhere around. Fear struck her. How could she get help? Where was she to go? She sat under an oak tree she saw helpless and sad. She felt a rush of emotions in her. How could her family be feeling at this moment? Will she ever meet them again? When would she ever meet George? How would George feel knowing another man forced himself on her? All these thoughts only made her worry more. Suddenly, she heard rustling from the shrubs. She jumped on her feet alert, ready to run at the sight of a predator. As she watched on, she felt her legs grow weak. Out from the shrubs sprung a giant cobra which raced promptly towards her. She screamed out as loud as she could and began running toward the direction she came from. The cobra rushed after her with full speed. She tried jumping over obstacles and avoiding thorns but her legs were already weak enough. They couldn't take her anymore. She tripped over a stone and fell hard on the floor. The Cobra got really close now. Luckily she felt an animal sprung up above her head toward the cobra. It was the wolf. The wolf fought hard with the cobra, grabbing its head with its sharp fannies trying hard to strangle it to death. Though it injured its legs in the process, it was able to defeat the cobra and declare peace. Olivia watched in silence wondering what to do. Should I thank him? Should I apologize? She stared at him in silence not sure of how to react. He transformed into his human form and picked her up again forcefully with anger this time. She didn't react or say anything. She was too confused to say anything. She felt him limping and sympathized him. 

"He seems to be a brave wolf but why r**e me though? I will never feel any empathy for such low life" She thought in her head angrily. 

"Let whatever happened last night not be heard by anyone ever" He reminded her as if he had just read her mind.

"Why? Because you r***d me?" She asked coldly. 

"You seduced me yourself" He gave her a straight forward response. 

"Excuse me? I will never seduce a man. What sort of lie is this? Couldn't you have thought of a better one?" 

"I don't tell lies. I am an Alpha. I lead by example" 

"Stupid Alpha. I hate you and your pack and every single bit of nonsense you all do. I promise to escape this mess. I won't let myself be killed by any of you" 

"No one cares about you" 

This response wasn't supposed to be  a surprise to Olivia because she'd known the werewolves as heartless creatures who knew no emotions. But due to some reasons she felt really hurt by this response. She wasn't sure why but she knew it hurt her deeply.

"At least for the sake of you taking my pride from me, you should" she finally spoke out her mind with hurtness in her voice. 

"I don't know what that means. There was nothing special about what occurred last night. Isn't that a regular thing Alpha and mate do? We did ours at the wrong time though but it ends there. That's all between us" 

"You used me" 

"I don't care" he responded coldly. Olivia said nothing anymore. She had never felt someone be this cruel towards her before. She'd know some people who were cruel in her life but they never showed it to her directly as this one did. Now she understood why they killed their mates without caring. They certainly had no emotions at all.

The queen paced around her chambers impatiently waiting for her guards to send her any update regarding her elder daughter. Her personal maid stood at the corner of the room out of ideas on how to calm her down. 

"Should I get you a cup of water my queen?" She decided to ask. The queen threw her a stone look. "Please don't kill me" The lady begged throwing herself on the floor hoping the queen wasn't offended. 

"Seal your lips" The Queen warned. She turned her gaze off the maid and went on pacing around her chambers. The knock on her door gave her a bit of hope. 

"Go get that door" She lured her nervous maid. The maiden nodded and rushed off to obey her master. The butler walked in with a bow. 

"The guards are here your majesty" He informed. 

"They better have good news for me" She lashed at him before proceeding to the meeting room. 

The meeting room was almost empty. All she saw were few of her guards and no sign of her daughter. This got her annoyed. 

"What sort of joke are you all playing with me? Where is my daughter?" 

"We searched the entire Kingdom. I am afraid she might have been kidnapped. She isn't anywhere in town"

"Who would want to dare kidnap my daughter? I don't understand. Leave the kingdom. Raid the Forests. Do not come back until you find my daughter" she insisted. 

"What if she was taken by the Alpha My Queen? Ladies taken by those creatures never come back" One of the guards illuminated the situation hoping she understands. 

"Not my daughter. No stupid werewolf is gonna have my daughter and force her to himself. You all must get her at all cost. I don't care if it has to involve piercing the stupid Alpha in the heart" 

The guards agreed. They bowed one last time and walked out hoping to finish their  mission even though they had a doubt in mind if that would be possible. 

"I knew she wasn't totally herself. She kept acting strange anytime I tried getting to know her better" George's voice was heard at the entrance. The queen ignored still worried sick for her daughter safety.  "Do not worry. I will ensure I get my love back"

"Please get her back. She is just a child"

How unsafe and insecure she felt as she began catching sight of dead animals' carcass all around path they took. The fowl smell made her feel really sick to the stomach but The so called Alpha here didn't seem to have a sense of smell. How was he enduring all this anyways? 

"We are here" His deep voice had alerted as he dropped her down slowly unto the ground. She felt a bit surprised he didn't throw her unto the ground this time. The rest of the pack gathered round her from various directions staring at her with an unfriendly scary look. Olivia couldn't control how fast her heart had raced. She wasn't sure if she was safe or not. Will she be devoured? 

One of the wolves growled at her and tried pouncing at her perhaps thinking she was that day's meal, luckily Dave stepped in before any of such could occur. 

"She is my mate. Don't hurt her" he informed them. "No one is to harm her… Not yet" 

Olivia didn't like this statement he made. 

"You all are really head bent in killing me right?" 

"No one cares about you. I am only doing my duty here" He reminded her in case she'd forgotten. Olivia felt her heart sink one more time. She couldn't bear this anymore. Why couldn't one of them show compassion towards her? Is it possible all of the wolves were really that bad? 

"You brought her!" She heard a female voice say. Following the direction of the voice, she caught sight of a beautiful lady in her mid fifties stepping toward them. "She looks beautiful" 

"I did what you had asked of me mum. Can you all let me be now?" He growled at her in frustration. Olivia watched both mother and son exchange a kind of strange fierce look only they both understood. She paid more attention to his mum's looks and felt for the first time, a ray of hope. She looked really nice and seemed to be a kind of person to trust for the meantime while she still lived. 

"You have a very nice skin tone ma'am" She complimented hoping to get on her good side. 

"You are a very beautiful choice my son has chosen. I have a very good feeling we will get along well" The lady told her with a friendly smile breaking her stare with her son. Taking one more stare at her, she got a little confused seeing her stained I'm blood and looking messy.  "Why are you looking stained?" 

Olivia wasn't sure of how to respond to that. She gave Dave a stare hoping he says something since he was at fault anyways. He proceeded to. 

"She had a slight wound. It's better now" He lied with a little nervousness in his expression. "Please lock her up in the cave now. I don't want to see her" 

"Excuse me?" His mum exclaimed in surprise. " You cannot lock her up. She is your mate. She will have to stay with you in your cave" 

"Why? Haven't I obeyed your rules enough? I have had enough problem just trying to bring her here" He nagged. 

"Dave. Stop this. You are acting like a child" His mum complained. 

"I don't want to see her" He insisted before walking out rudely on everyone. Olivia watched him leave wondering how cruel and cold hearted he was to his people. At least he should have respected his mum right in front of her since she was a stranger there. But no! He didn't mind showing his true colors. 

"It's fine dear. You will stay in his cave" His mum told her in smiles. 

"He doesn't want me to" 

"It's part of the rules. He has no other choice"
