Alpha's Abandoned Mate

He Is Different

~Aster's POV ~

“Who are you? I have never seen you", I said in a startled voice while turning around to look at the man’s face. He was standing so close to me that I can feel his breath on my face. 

The man then smirked while looking at me. He was now walking towards me whilst I was moving backwards. 

I still have to take care of Viola’s room and also this dress. If she finds out that I am wearing one of her dresses then she will for sure punish me for it in a most brutal manner.

My back hit the wall and now there is nowhere for me to run away from him. What does he want from a nobody like me?

 His gaze was making me shiver. The man wanted me between his arms while his face was getting closer to me.

“My name is Rowell Rochester and I am going to be the next Alpha of Crimson pack and this party is given in my honour, but I never saw you before. 

You are quite breath-taking, my lady”, the charming man whispered to me in a deep voice while he was looking straight into my eyes without even blinking his eyes.

The man has brown hair and a masculine body with a broad chest and even his shoulders were quite broad.

 His hazel eyes which were looking at me curiosity were making me tremble for some reason. I know he must be curious about my identity as my father never let me go outside this house so people rarely know about my looks.

 They only know that the McCarthy family has one useless trash which can be a threat for them in the future. So, this man must not be aware that I am Aster McCarthy.

The man named Rowell then opened my bun with his single hand. The hairs which I tied just a few moments ago is now open. 

Viola never likes when I let my hair down so I always tie them in a tight bun in front of her so that she won’t punish me for that reason.

Rowell then gently kissed the tip of my hair while looking into my eyes. What is this man doing? He is the next Alpha so does that mean he is going to be the future partner of Viola? If so, then why he is getting closer to me.

“Umm, can you please move away? I have to clean the room and put all the things to their original place”, I said to him while trying to make a gap between us. I don’t want Viola to misunderstand this situation.

Rowell then kept his finger on my lips and after that, he leaned closer to me.

“Shush, you talk too much, my love”, he said to me in a husky voice.

He then started to suck my earlobes and I only shuddered by his action. What’s exactly happening and why is he behaving in this manner? Isn’t Viola his would-be Luna?

 His hands were now moving over my neck’s nape area. His actions are sending chills down my spine.

“You b***h, what are you doing with my Rowell? It’s a good thing that I was back to take my handbag. Otherwise, you would have been successful in seducing him.

 I will now tell you what a w***e like you deserves if you seduce someone’s else man", yelled Viola in an angry tone while she was walking towards our direction.

After hearing her words, Rowell moved away from me and then he turned to look around Viola with a smile on his face.

“What are you doing here, Viola?” He asked her while he was still holding my wrist gently.

Viola gritted her teeth in anger. She then pushed away Rowell and then she pulled me by my hair. 

After that, she looked towards Rowell with a smirk on her face whilst she was still pulling my hair, “The one who should be asking you this question should be me, right Rowell?

 What are you doing in my room and on the top of that with  this b***h and you, why are you wearing my dress, you slut?”

Pain, that’s what I am feeling right now. If only, that mysterious man will be here to help me.

“I was here to look for you, but then I saw this beautiful woman and I don’t think that she will need to waste her efforts in seducing me. 

As I am already quite interested in her now. As for the slut and w***e thing, I believe that these words suit you more, Viola.

 So, let go of her while I am asking you nicely or are you ready to face my wrath”, Rowell exclaimed while glaring at Viola.

He then freed my hair from her grasp and then he pushed her on the floor. His eyes were quite cold and Viola was only looking at him with a stunned expression on her face.

I then looked at the man with a smile on my face. I told him that I need to get going now, but he only held me by my wrist while pulling me back at him.

“Where do you think you are going, my love? At today’s party, you are going to be my companion. So be a little more confident as you are personally chosen by the next Alpha. 

Lift your chin and let me see that beautiful smile of yours. So, will you accompany me, my beautiful lady? I hope, you do", he asked me in a deep voice while offering me his hands.

This scene looks straight from a romantic novel. Well, the guy does look like a prince. 

Should I accept his offer? Won’t father get mad at me later, but the one who is asking me to be his partner in our next Alpha. 

How can I refuse him? I should just go with the flow. Maybe it will be the only chance for me to see what a party looks like or how people enjoy it there.

I then kept my hands on his hands. We both then started to walk out of the room leaving Viola all alone. She must be planning something to harm me. I just hope I will be able to survive this party.

I glanced in his direction and then asked him in a low voice, “Isn’t my father going to announce you as the next Alpha and Viola as the Luna in today’s party? Won’t get me involved in this to create to has for you?”

“Haha, you are so naive, my love. You don’t have to take tension about that as I will handle everything. 

You just need to focus on enjoying yourself. Do whatever you want and I promise, no one will stop you. 

So, now will you be kind enough to tell me your name?” He asked me while pulling me closer to him and all I could do was to smile awkwardly at him.

My name? No one was ever interested in knowing my name, but he is kind of different. 

I only thought of him as someone who will only take advantage of people, but not only did he protected me from Viola, he also talked to me so nicely. 

No one talked with me in such a kind manner. He is also treating me quite good. Am I not bothering him or does he not getting annoyed by my powerless self?

So many questions, but still no answer. I smiled while looking at him and then I answered his question while looking at the ceiling, “My name is Aster. My birth mother gave me this name when I was still small.

 She thought that I was just as beautiful as Asters, but I knew she was kidding. For every mother her child is beautiful and I can understand that.”

“Aster, what a beautiful name it is and I must agree to your mother. She was right. You are as beautiful as Asters or maybe more than that.

 Don’t look down upon yourself, my love", the man said to me while we were walking towards the main hall where the part was going on. Everyone’s gaze was on me and Rowell which was kind of embarrassing me.

They must be thinking that why did Rowell bring someone else other than Viola with him. Even I want to know the answer to that question. 

The moment I looked at the people around, my eyes fell on that man who saved me from Samuel. 

Now that I think about it I never asked about his name. He must be one important guest as my father is personally attending him.

“Oh, Rowell, finally you are here. Let me introduce you to Mr Damien Tristen. He is the next Alpha of the blood moon pack and you must be aware that both of our packs are powerful.

 I want that both of our packs will remain on friendlier terms even in the future. Come, and meet him, Rowell", my father said in an excited tone while looking in Rowell’s direction, but when his gaze falls on me he twitched his brows.

He then glared at me and I unconsciously gripped Rowell’s arms. He is angry. He will for sure punish me. 

I am scared, but Rowell only put his hands over my shoulders and then he smiled at me. He is trying to calm me down. 

Yes, I am with the next Alpha. I shouldn’t get scared. My eyes then fell on Damien. He was looking at me like he would engulf me just by looking at me.

I don’t want to meet them. It’s like Rowell heard my thoughts, he took me towards the dancing floor and then we both began to dance. 

My heart is pounding so much that I am unable to think straight. Rowell then kissed the back of my hands and then he pulled me closer to him by my waist. 

He then placed my hand over his shoulder and took my other hand in his.

We both were now looking into each other eyes while our feet were moving. I never learned how to dance and nor anyone taught me how to.

 I hope I just don’t accidentally hit his foot, but I was worse than I thought in dancing as the man’s legs were now definitely covered with blisters because of my clumsiness and carelessness, but he only smiled even though, I hurt him this badly.

He is not proud or arrogant just because he is going to be the next Alpha. Rather he is a nice man and I kind of like his company. 

When suddenly, someone kept his hand over Rowell’s shoulders and when we looked at the person we both were quite shocked.

“May I have the next dance with her if you don’t mind?” The man asked him in a cold voice while his gaze was only fixated on me. Why does he want to dance with me?

Rowell then replied to him while giving my hands in his, “Not at all, but let me give you a warning, just be aware of those heels.” After that, he left the dance floor leaving me all alone with him.

“So, shall we start, miss Aster?” He asked me while lifting me by my waist. How does he know my name? No that’s not important right now. He has pulled me so close to him that I can feel his abs and also the warmth of his body.
