Claimed By The Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 5: No One Else

“Hey, hey, wait up!” I said when he pulled me out of there without a word. I didn’t know what he was doing. Everyone just stared at us in awe not knowing why he was pulling me out. “Wait up!” I yelled even louder for him to hear me because he was walking as if he wasn’t doing anything.

He didn’t even glanced at me as he was pulling me. He only stopped and let go of me when we were outside and into the green grassy field where no one was there. I didn’t know if people followed us but I think they wouldn’t considering that he clearly told everyone not to follow us just before he took me out of there.

“What is wrong with you?” I said as I held my wrist. I wasn’t hurt anywhere it’s just that his touch made me feel something that I have never felt before. We’re mates and that explains it. We have this connection like no other.

“Why were you so quiet? I just claimed you as my mate yet you didn’t say anything. Are you rejecting me?” He said that as he looked at me straight in the eyes. Reject him? Is he for real? Why would I do that? All my life, I have dreamed of the time when I would be able to meet my mate; the one that the moon goddess has destined for me.

“What?” I asked dumbfounded. I didn’t get why he would think that way. I was quiet because I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t expect that this simple night would turn out to be the biggest night of my life. I mean, who knew it was going to happen tonight, right? I was just there to deliver my Uncle’s glasses which he forgot to bring.

“I’m asking you if you’re rejecting me, because that would be the only explanation as to why you were quiet earlier.” He said in a stern voice. He is indeed an alpha; he has this intimidating aura and a commanding voice.

“N-no, of course n-not,” I bowed a little. “It’s just that ... I was just surprised. I didn’t think an alpha like you would accept me as your mate, you know,”

“Why did you think of that?” His brows were furrowed. Clearly, he has no idea as to who I am in this pack. I am no one. I am a nobody. To some, I am just a slave of my Aunt and her children.

“Y-You... you don’t know me at all. If you find out who I am or what I am in this pack, you wouldn’t want me to be your mate.” My voice was filled with emotions. Who wants to be my mate, right? Aside from the fact that I do not stand anywhere in this pack, I am also a wolf-less member. I haven’t shifted while others did when they were even younger than I am now. In other words, I am useless as a pack member. I can’t even call myself a werewolf because if I think of it, I am just a normal human being who lives along with real werewolves.

“No. I won’t ever change my mind. You’re my mate and I want to hear it from you that you are coming home with me.” He said with authority. Well, that’s a bit tough. I haven’t talk to my Uncle about it yet. I mean, I can’t just leave, right? I need to at least think of it. Will it be for the best benefit of everyone? What about my mate? Am I sure that I’ll be good for him? Will I ne accepted in his pack? I doubt it if anyone even wants to have a Luna like me. For Pete’s sake! I am wolf-less and that alone speaks volume. A lot of things should be considered.

“I... I don’t know... I have to talk to my Uncle about it and I have to...” I said but he cut me off.

“I’ll wait for you. You can go and talk to whoever you have to talk to.” He said that and it sounded like I had no other choice. He’s an alpha, alright, I know that he’s used to people following him but he can’t do that to me. No matter what I am, I am still his mate and not just anyone who he can order around.

“I...I’m going to need a lot of time... There are things I have to do...” I was still sceptical about it. I’ve lived here most of my life and this is a big change. I can’t live in just a few hours just as he was suggesting. I know that there’s nothing much to miss around here. I don’t even have any friends but no matter how people here treats me, I have still grown a love for this place. I have some spits that I love going to every time I feel different emotions especially when I am sad and lonely. I wish I could’ve time to say goodbye to the things that I love here. I know there isn’t much but there’s a chance that I won’t be coming back here and that’s sad.

“Alright, you can take all the time that you need, but I’ll be staying as long as it takes.” He said with his hands on both his hips. It sure looked like there was no way out of this. It’s either I make my goodbye quick or he’ll stay for as long as I need and that can be bad for his pack. They can’t have their Alpha leaving home and staying out because of his mate.

“Can you come back and give me some days off to do this?” I pleaded.

“No, why do you want to stay? Is it because of someone?” I swear I did hear a low growl when he asked that. Is he insinuating that I am somehow involved in a guy which makes leaving harder? Oh no, no one even wants to be friends with me here. They’re either disgusted of me or afraid of my Aunt.

I tried not to laugh at what he said but to no avail. I just find it funny that he would think of it that way. If anyone from here hears about it, they would surely kaugh just as I did.

“What seems to be so funny?” He asked and I hinted a bit of annoyance on his voice. Maybe he was thinking that I was laughing at him when in fact I laughed at what he said.

I covered my mouth and a tear escaped from my eye. “N-nothing... it’s just that what you said is funny,” I laughed. I couldn’t help it.

“What’s funny about it? It wouldn’t be so hard to leave if you have nothing to leave behind.” He was calmed that time. His hands were inside his pockets and he was looking at me as if he was reading my mind. The light from the conference building was making me see his full face.

“Nothing... it’s just that no one actually likes me here except my Uncle and that’s who I want to say goodbye to.” I explained to make things lighter. There was no way I would leave without a proper goodbye to the only person who treated me as a family ever since my parents died. I definitely owe him a lot and I am so grateful that loves me in a way that no one else can not especially my cousins who slaved me around.

“Are you sure? No other guy circling around?” He raised a brow and walked closer to me. We were just inches apart and that made my breathing difficult. It’s as if everything was just a dream and that he could be gone any minute now. I didn’t even want to close my eyes as we were looking at each other as if no one else exists. Jeez, is this how meeting a mate feels like? I know now that what my mom said was true. There were thousands of emotions when she saw my dad for the first time.

“N-No one else,” I whispered and with his wolf instincts, I knew he heard me loud and clear.

I saw a ghost of smile on his lips just before he touched my face and arched my chin so he can slip a swift and quick kiss on my lips.

My eyes grew wide in realization as his lips were on mine. It was my first kiss!
