The Alpha’s Reclaimed Mate

Chapter 4

Layla’s POV

Today is my third day in the royal estate and I haven't been allowed to leave my apartment, every night Alpha Aleksander comes to my apartment to give me the report of their search.

Making sure not to leave until he strikes one or two of my angry nerves, he hasn't tried to touch me since the first day I arrived.

But whenever he was around me, his body language and gestures promised me that he would get right back where we stopped very soon.

After kissing me brutally, he let go of me and ordered me to take my bath, making sure he watched me closely as I entered and came out of the bathroom.

He went as far as watching me change into the red lingerie he personally chose from my newly stocked wardrobe.

Watching me like an angry animal watching its prey, as I tried to cover myself up even as I wore the revealing cloth. He just stayed there by my dressing room door and watched me intensely.

But he didn't make any move to invade my privacy.

Instead he waited until I had worn the very short and sexy little dress, then moved slowly to straighten my now free hair.

It was still wet. I just came out of the shower.

He brushed and stroked my hair in silence for a few minutes and I just stood there. I didn't want to annoy him any further, he doesn't like it when I deny him from touching me and I learnt it the hard way.

“Dont tie it up ever again…. Also make sure you wait for me every night, with a lingering, there are lots of them in your wardrobe… I made sure of that!” he told me in a commanding and final tone.

I nodded in agreement immediately, still in shock at what he just did to me. I could still feel the heavy pressing of his c**k on my inner core when he sprawled on me a few minutes ago.

“Bastard!” I squirmed at myself as I relish the memories with renewed anger, the same maid who was specially assigned to me by Alpha Aleksander turned back from what she was doing and looked at me in inquiry.

Bit I shook my head negatively at her to assure her that I was okay, she smiled back at me and continued with setting my dinner table.

My mate wouldn't let me out of my apartment but he made sure I lacked nothing, my special assigned maid; Loretta has been of great company and relief to me, we have bonded a lot during our few days together.

She was the same maid who brought in food for me the day I arrived, my mate watched me eat that night before leaving my apartment.

“Go to sleep! You have travelled far and you need it” I can still remember the tone he used when ordering me to sleep. It was commanding and as well seductive.

In fact I wet my pant, I can't deny it to myself that I find my mate very tempting and sexy, my inner core trembles at the mere sound of his voice.

I pursued my lip and moved gingerly to my dinner table, my stomach churned at the deliciously set table, “you will eat with me Loretta, I can't finish all these…my supervisor will soon be here to check if I ate them all” I complained to my maid.

She chuckled and sat opposite me, picking up her spoon happily, we chatted and laughed together as we enjoyed the varieties of food in front of us.

Aside from my mate craziness and alarming obsessiveness, one thing i’m grateful for about my confinement is the fact that his mother; Queen mother stay and his wife; Dorothy couldn't enter my space or disturb my peace.

………..

The food wasn't going to the right place and they tasted bland tonight, I squirmed loudly at my husband who looked at me but ignored me completely for the fourth time today.

He has warned me before we came down to dinner to behave myself, and I was trying so hard, but everyone was acting too normal for me to sit still.

Even Dorothy was saying or doing nothing and that wench was upstairs having dinner alone in her big special apartment?.

“She can eat with us… You know” I blurred out before I could stop myself, I heard Barbara groan inwardly beside me and I glared at her to keep quiet.

“I Dont want her anywhere close to hungry and wild lions, mother!” my son replied almost immediately. It was as if he was expecting to say something, his voice was heavy with sarcasm.

My husband giggled loudly, then he started coughing and I quickly reached for his glass of cold water and handed it to him, I rolled my eyes at him but still told him “sorry”, i love my husband and family a lot and I Don't joke with them at all.

Smiling back at my son, I blew him a kiss and he pretended to avoid it before going back to devour his food, I know he's referring to me and Dorothy as the wild lion.

I looked around our big dinner table, everyone was present tonight: Elder Alpha, Barbara and her mate, Alpha Alek and his wife and myself.

Reaching for my dessert plate, I was about to take the second scoop of brown cake and strawberry sweet jam but the noise that was getting closer from the eating arena entrance got my attention.

Everyone on the dining table had also stopped eating, a strange man was dragged in very roughly by beta Dante and other guards, he was covered in blood.

Dorothy sprang out of her sit in shock, we all turned to look at her in bewilderment, she quickly smiled at me stiffly.

“What is going on here” I boomed with curiosity, looking from one surprised face to the other, Dorothy looked more surprised, more like she was frozen.

“Is this the kidnapper?” I heard my son voice from behind me, he had gotten up from his sit and was stalking toward the bloody and seriously wounded man

My son beta must have beaten him to this sorry sit at if his, all his cloth was drenched in fresh blood.

The man fell on his knees and hit his bloody year repeatedly on the glass floor, he was begging my son, “Pardon me Alpha, I promise to tell you everything! Please spare my life!”
