Mate for the Rogue Alpha

Chapter 5: Awkward Moments

Mia's Point of View

It's been a week already since I was abducted by Wade and his men. People are treating me alright while the others are avoiding me as if I have some kind of a disease.

“Miss, Mia?" I heard someone knocked on my door.

I stand up as if I am dragging myself since I am too lazy to get out of my bed. All I want is to stay here all day because I might see Wade. I heard that he is back from his trip. I thought I was gonna have a month of relief since I wouldn't feel awkward upon seeing him after what happened when he was touring me. He was so mad at me.

“Yes?" I asked Sofia after opening the door.

Sofia the servant that Wade gave to me before he went away and that was the last time I saw him. It was only for a few minutes because he only introduced her to me. He went away after that.

“Alpha is back. I just want to ask if you want to join him for breakfast?" She is so polite which makes me want to know her more.

“No, thank you," I said.

She just nodded her head to tell me that she understood before excusing herself.

I know that she is from a pack that Wade had attacked that is why she is the servant here. A pack member can't be the servant so I know that she is not a rogue. She was just taken like me but I haven't asked her yet about it because she seems so distant. Maybe she is afraid that I am going to hurt her if she makes any mistakes or says anything that I don't like. She might have been traumatized by what happened to her and her pack.

My stomach started rumbling since I was already hungry but Wade might still be eating his breakfast and I didn't want to join him because I knew that it would be so awkward. I think I won't be full if that ever happens because I won't be concentrating on eating.

After an hour, I went out of my room and went straight to the dining hall however I was surprised to see that Wade is sitting there and is still eating. I was about to go however it was too late because he had already seen me.

“Mia, come join me. I just started having breakfast and you should eat." He said while looking at me.

I feel like I am about to melt under his cold gaze.

“I am not hungry yet. You can go ahead." I lied even though I was already starving.

My stomach started rumbling which made Wade smirk at my lie. I know that he is already laughing in his mind because of how bad a liar I am.

“But your stomach is telling you otherwise." He said without taking the smirk on his lips off. “Don't be shy and come join me. I am not going to eat you alive here."

I slowly went to sit as far away from him as I could.

“You don't even look appetizing." He added which made me roll my eyes.

Servants started preparing the food and we started eating. They are standing there while watching us eat our first bite before leaving.

I notice something about the servants that they have. They are all young and beautiful which made me think that he is the one who picked them.

“It seems you like young and beautiful servants," I commented all of a sudden.

Wade looks at me while scowling. I shouldn't have commented on anything. Sometimes I need to control my mouth because it will be the death of me.

“Why? Are you jealous?" He asked.

I choked because of his question and I drank some water.

“Don't be too assuming because I am not jealous." I said while rolling my eyes.

I am not really jealous but I find it disturbing that the servants are beautiful women. It is not appropriate for a man who has met his mate already.

“Don't worry, I am going to tell them to change the helper who will take care of me." He said as if he didn't hear that I was not jealous. “Don't call them a servant, next time because they are not. They are volunteers who want to help me."

He was not furious this time when he corrected me and I was actually surprised. The last time, I got a bruise on my wrist because of the way he was gripping on it. He was so mad that he didn't control himself and that is when I know that I shouldn't make him mad anymore since he could hurt me if he wanted to.

The whole breakfast was too quiet unlike the one that I am used to. We used to talk to one another

about some random stuff. People are also having fun while eating because they are with their friends and family however here, it feels so gloomy. The dining hall is a bit dark and the only light there is coming from the windows. We are also the only people here. It is so quiet and I can feel the awkwardness between us. I am not sure if he can feel it but all I know is I can feel it.

I was hungry when I came here however it feel like it went away. All I am doing at my food is play with it even though I am taught that I shouldn't waste food.

“I am done so you can already eat your food because I know that you can't eat if I am around." He said before leaving me there.

Wade really finished his plate quickly and I am not even sure if he is full already. He only did it because he thinks that I am not in the mood to eat if he is around but I just lost my appetite because of the awkwardness or maybe that is the same thing. I suddenly felt bad.

I can't do anything about it anymore except to eat so I did when the door of the dining hall opened. It was Deborah and she sits next to me.

“Good morning, dear." She greeted me.

“Good morning." I greeted her back.

Deborah started putting some food on her plate and eating. She seems to be so hungry because there is a lot of food. She is also eating like she hasn't eaten for days.

“Sorry about eating like a pig. This is just my favorite meal of the day. I also believe that eating like a queen, eat like a princess and eat like there is nothing to eat." Deborah said.

I look at her in confusion about what she just said.

“Let me explain it to you more. When you eat a lot of breakfast, it is alright since it can burn during the day because you will be doing a lot of work but when it is time for lunch, only eat less than you eat in the morning and the night comes, only eat bread or don't eat at all because you won't be able to burn it." She said.

Okay? I just had a tip for dieting.

Maybe this is why she has a good body figure and she is actually starting to look younger than the first day that I came here. Is that really the outcome of dieting?

“I have a youth spell on me, Mia. That is what some witches use to them that is why most of us look younger than we supposed to be." She explained.

I just nodded my head to let her know that I understand.

“Did Wade eat his breakfast already?" She suddenly asked.

I want to tell her yes but I don't want to talk about Wade. I know that she will ask more questions about him so I better avoid this now so I just shrugged.

“You might think that Wade is a ruthless alpha who doesn't care about anyone's feelings, you are wrong. He actually put other people's feelings first before his. All he wants is for everyone to have their revenge and I am not saying that it is the right thing to do but it is for everyone's satisfaction." She said while still eating.

“If he is a good person then he shouldn't have kidnapped me!" I said.

I know that I shouldn't be mad at her but she is making it seem like I am judging Wade and he is a good guy when in fact he is not. He has hurt a lot of people and that is not what good people does. He is just hiding how much he wants to kill others by covering it up as revenge for the people who believe in him.

“My father is a good alpha and a leader of our family. Our pack also didn't do anything bad to anyone here but he attacked us as if we did something very bad to him." I said while tears were now falling to my eyes. “Some children might also get traumatized because of what they have done. All we want that night is to have some fun that is why we threw that banquet but what did he do? He ruined friend's and my birthday."

Deborah sighed.

“I know that you are upset because he forced you to come here and I really want to answer your questions but I am not in the right position to answer them. Maybe someday Wade will tell you his reason." That is she just said and just continued to eat.

I already lost my appetite so I just wiped my tears before leaving her there. All I want right now is to go back to the room where he said that I would be sleeping in however before I can go there, I need to walk past his room which is closed as usual.

The hallways are dark and the only light is coming from the windows although there are elegant chandeliers hanging in the ceiling, they don't have any bulbs. They also have some dust on them which is wasteful.

“They should have lit these things," I commented while looking at them. “I can already tell that they will turn out beautiful."

I was busy admiring the chandeliers when Wade's door suddenly opened when I am in front of it. He is staring at me which made me feel nervous. All of my anger towards him is gone which is annoying.

“Are you done having breakfast?" He asked.

“Yes," I said before running to my room and I know that I look stvpid because of how I acted.

I closed the door behind me and I rested my back on it as I slid down before letting our a sigh of relief. It is good that I am gone from his sight.

Hours went by and it is already night time. I haven't eaten yet even though it is already late at night. All I did was watch everyone do their stuff all day. They are all helpful to one another which is a pleasing sight. Wade is right when he said that these people didn't choose to be rogues.

My stomach started rumbling so I decided to grab something to eat in the kitchen however when I opened the door, Wade was already there standing. He is holding a plate with some food on them and a glass of water.

“You haven't eaten yet so I decided to bring you something to eat." He said.

I don't know what to say and just stare at him. He just sighed at my reaction.

“I will come in." He said before entering.

Wade put the plate on the side table before going back to the door but he stopped midway.

“Sorry about gripping your wrist tightly. I know that it caused a bruise." He said and sighed again. “You should know that I didn't mean that. I was just carried away."

I got annoyed because it seems like he will hurt others when gets carried away.

“Were you carried away when you tried to hurt my mother? Are you carried away when you want to kill my father?" I asked in a loud voice. “He is a good man, Wade so don't ever act as if he has done something bad to you because he have never hurt anyone before! You are the ruthless one! You are so cruel!"

Wade growled and looked at me with so much hatred.

“You don't know anything so shut your filthy mouth because you can never hurt my feelings." He said. “You are nothing but a hostage!"

He left me there as if I was nothing.

I fell on my knees and cried.
