Alpha Seduction

2 Can’t Wait?

James’s P.O.V.

“Damn it,” I cursed while punching the wall in front of me. Why did it have to be her—the person that I despised the most? She was nothing but a gold digger who agreed to marry me only for my status and my money. Above all, she was a mere human. How could the Moon Goddess do this to me? I was the strongest alpha in our world, and I got a human mate. What the hell is going on in my life now?

I took a deep breath and looked at my reflection in the mirror over the sink. If she thought that her little tactics of seduction could work, then she would have another thing coming her way. If I find anything that proves that whatever I have heard about her is true, then I could easily reject her, and divorce her.

“Don’t deceive yourself. She is our mate. You can’t deny that you want to touch her as badly as I want to.” Aero, my wolf, scolded me, making me curse him. I shook my head and closed my eyes. I was so turned on only by the blinking of her eyes. How could a deceiving girl like her have such beautiful and innocent eyes? I couldn't deny that she was beautiful and had a beautiful, curvy figure. I almost gave in to the temptation of touching her.

I opened my eyes and stripped myself while thinking about her. I was having a hard time believing that she was a gold–digger. She said that she would not take what didn’t belong to her. Time will tell how true she is to her words. She wanted to play with fire, then she had to take the burn too. “Don’t do anything to hurt her, James. I am warning you. As long as she is fine and near us, I have no problem with whether you want to claim her or not. I am happy with everything,” Aero threatened me again, making me growl at him this time. He was known as the most ruthless alpha wolf in our world. Now he was behaving like a love-sick puppy.

Jessica’s P.O.V.

As soon as the door of the washroom closed, I ran towards the window. I tried to open it, but it was locked. Disappointment filled my heart, but there was no way that I would give up so easily. I tried all the windows in the room but the result was the same. There must be some way to open them. Just when I thought of finding something to pry open any of them, I heard the door opening. I sighed in defeat and hung my head low.

“Do you really feel that our security is just a decoration that you can pry open so easily, huh?” He taunted, making me grimace, and I slowly looked behind. I gulped hard, and my heart almost came out of my mouth when I saw him standing a little far away from me. He had nothing but a towel around his waist. I felt drool coming out of my mouth while my eyes roamed all over his body from up to down, tracing all the curves of his chiselled well-toned chest. I could still see a few water droplets on his naked torso. The water droplets were still dripping from his shining black hair, going down the curve of his body, straight from his chest to the waist inside the towel.

I immediately looked up at his face while gulping hard. I suddenly felt so hot, and my throat was now completely dry. I looked in the other direction and lifted my head up while blowing a breath through my mouth. “C…. c…. can you put on your clothes?” I asked him, still looking in the other direction. I dare to look into his direction in this state. I glanced at him and saw a sarcastic flicker on his lips, making me look in the other direction again.

“Stay away from my bed and find any other place to sleep,” I heard his indifferent and cold voice, making me peek in his direction again. To my relief, he now had a t-shirt and pyjamas on his body. He went straight to bed and laid down without even giving me a glance. I took time to process what he said after coming out of my trance.

“What do you mean?” I asked him in a raised voice while looking at the only bed in the room where he was now sleeping. “Where do you want me to sleep?” I yelled when he didn’t answer me. I jumped on my feet when I heard a low growl. I looked out of the window in fear. Was there a wild animal? I tried to look out of the window through the darkness of night but didn’t see anything. I was once again scared and looked in his direction again.

“If you don’t want Green’s company to go bankrupt, then shut up and let me sleep,” he barked at me, making me make a face again. I wanted to curse him so loudly but kept my mouth shut, gulping every word that came into my mouth. Green’s Company is my father’s hard work. How could I let anyone destroy it…. I would endure every pain for the sake of the company, even if I had to lie down on the carpeted floor. I just stared at him for a while and then sighed in defeat.

I slowly walked toward the bed and lay down on the carpet on the floor. Why didn’t he have a couch in this room? Generally, everyone had a couch in their room. Or did he purposely remove the couch from this room? My life took a drastic turn, making a drastic change all of a sudden. I couldn’t do anything but go with the flow. I closed my eyes and started thinking about what I had suffered all my life.

I didn’t know when I fell asleep, but when I woke up, my whole body was numb due to the cold. I slowly sat up and hissed in pain. I looked at the bed, which was empty now. I sighed again and moved my body to relieve some pain. By the look of the bed, I could say that he had gone long ago. When the pain eased, I stood up and went to the closet first. I scoffed when I found a small bag of my clothes in one corner of the closet. I went near it and squatted down. I took out my change of clothes and my toiletries.

I went straight to the washroom and hurriedly finished my business there before taking a much-needed warm shower. I sighed in relief when the hot water hit my aching muscles, giving me some relief. After finishing my bath, I put on my clothes before exiting the washroom. I still had my guard up against James and didn’t want to be in any embarrassing situations by appearing half-naked in front of him, giving him reason to think that I was trying to seduce him.

After combing my hair, I walked out of the room, and went downstairs, looking for James. James was nowhere to be found. I stopped in my tracks when a middle-aged woman approached me. By her dress, I could guess that she was a housekeeper. “Sarah, I am Mia, the head servant in this mansion… you finally wake up… but this is already past breakfast time,” she said indifferently.

I clenched my jaw as I was a little upset at the way she was talking to me, but I endured it. “It doesn’t matter. I’m not used to eating breakfast,” I replied to her indifferently. She scoffed while giving me a dirty look as if I were a stinking sack of garbage. I raised my brows when she rolled her eyes and shouted while looking at others. “You all heard everything. Sarah said that she had never had breakfast before. So none of you have to prepare breakfast for her in the future.”

I scoffed internally while looking at her from head to toe. She was looking down at me because of Sarah. What was she thinking, huh? Was she taking me for a pushover? I looked at her coldly, took a step towards her, and slapped her hard, taking her off guard.

Her eyes widened in shock immediately. “I never knew that the servants in this family are so unruly?” I taunted her coldly. Due to the impact of the slap, she lost her balance and fell down to the ground. I heard gasps around me, indicating that everyone was shocked by what I did to Mia. None of them dares to come forward to help her or to attack me. Mia looked at me with wide shocked eyes. The side of her face where I slapped swelled immediately.

“You,” trembling in anger, Mia stood up abruptly from the ground and pointed her finger towards me. “How dare you hit me? I have been in this mansion for so many years. Even James treated me so well.” Before she could finish what she wanted to say, I slapped her thrice while looking at her with cold eyes.

I grabbed her chin with my two fingers and looked straight into her wide-opened eyes coldly. “You still dare to point at me? Does a mere servant dare to show off in front of me? Do you want to tell me that James can’t live without you, huh? The mistress of this house is me, not you. You’d better straighten your identity, get out of here,” I said in a chilly voice, showing her the right place.

She shuddered hard under my touch, and I saw beads of sweat all over her forehead. It would be better if she feared me. I could be anything but a pushover and easy to bully. She tried to break free from my grip, but I tightened my grip on her chin instead, making her tremble in fear. It was clear that she was panicking now. “As a gold digger like you, do you think that you can stay here forever? James will soon drive you away.” I really admire her courage for still daring to threaten me.

I smirked and moved my face closer to her. She was a bit short in height. “Is it?” I asked her coldly and shook her off. I signaled a servant trembling in a corner to give me some tissues. She immediately obliged and gave me some tissues. I wiped my hands as if I had touched a dirty thing. “Until then… I am still your master…. So you better behave in the future.” I glanced at her and turned upstairs without giving her any attention. "If you want to stay here, let me stay in peace, or else you can't make sense when you are old," I added further while ascending the stairs.
