CHAPTER TWO
Angelo's POV
Never in my life have I been tortured so much with curiosity. I have always received information about anything and everything I wanted to know. Yet, I couldn't find myself to turn around to see who my mate was when she was inches away. If I did turn around, to be honest, I would have done something really naughty to the alpha's daughter right in front of his eyes. He was just informing me that his daughter was named Diana and she was next in line to be alpha. The ceremony was days away and he wanted the most protection on that day in case the rogues planned on crashing it.
I can’t say for certain that once my lips meet hers my control will still be intact. Why did she have to be the alpha's daughter? It just made things more complicated. It doesn't matter now, she's mine and there is nothing that is going to stop me from claiming her as my mate.
"Hey you, come here!" I yelled at a brunette man who had just passed me to go into the large backyard full of people. He turned around, his light brown eyes which looked more golden than brown narrowed at me and his face changed slightly. It had turned bitter. I knew there was rumors about my pack acting like its name, wild, but there was no reason to judge someone by their cover.
"What?" He asked rudely. I noticed he stood taller as if he was trying to intimate me. It caused me to smile, he obviously was stupid if he thinks he can intimate an alpha. If he was in my pack, I would have taught him manners for those in higher command.
"The alpha's daughter, which room is she in?" I asked brushing off how he was glaring at me, my mate is more important right now. I didn't have time for his bullshit. I could have smelled her out and found her room the hard way but it would take longer since I didn't know this huge old styled mansion. I was actually impressed on the layout of this place. The wide-open space living room was a place for all to gather at. This was the only place in the house that was mostly glass walls supported by silver beams so that the forest was on full display. The huge redwood trees towered over swaying gently side to side hiding this mansion from plain sight while flowers bloomed all around on the forest floor mostly likely planted there by this pack. This was like the heart of the house connecting every brick hallway so that it would lead you here.
I wanted to be next to my mate now . I needed to hold her and for god's sake kiss the woman. More importantly, I wanted to see her! My mind was running nonstop of how she could possibly look. I knew she was going to be beautiful no matter how she was.
"Why?" The brunette asked taking a threatening step closer to me.
"Just answer me," I replied masking my emotions which would've showed how pissed off he was making me. If it wasn’t because I needed the answer quickly then I wouldn’t put up with this.
"Second floor, first door on the right," Another man said stepping up and putting a hand on the guy's shoulder. My eyes flickered to a blonde man before nodding and turning around quickly to follow his directions.
"Chill Cam," I heard him whisper. I walked away even though I wanted to show him the difference in power so he can show me some respect.
"Can't help it, guys like him drive me insane," Cam ended up saying when he thought I had walked long enough so I couldn’t pick that up. Guys like me? Shaking my head lightly I followed the man’s directions and sure enough, my mate's smell was the strongest here. Trying the doorknob, I noticed it wasn't locked so I opened it slowly, making small a creaking noise as I did. Great, like I wasn't already a creep by figuring where the room was. The room was surprisingly clean compared to mine back home.
The sound of water running softly was heard throughout the room and I was very tempted to sneak a peek inside the bathroom. That's just what I planned to do even though my gut was telling me not too. I felt like a little kid again when I use to peak at girls through their windows in curiosity. I wonder if karma will get back at me and it's some hairy dude is in the shower instead.
Just as I was about pop my head in and see for myself the doorknob began to twist. How did I not notice the sound of water running had stopped? I ran quickly towards the bed and swiftly landed on it, facing the door. Once the door was opened my skin felt uncomfortably hot which seemed like it could only be soothed by her touch. I looked up to see an angel. Well, that is what she looked like to me when she came out the door in only undergarments and the steam of water from her shower was floating around her like mist. Scratch that, she looked like a sexy angel sculpted to perfection with devilish brown eyes and godforsaken pink full lips. My mind became complete blank while my body was yearning for her touch. My eyes wouldn't leave the sight of her half-naked.
"What are you doing here?" She asked taking a step closer before freezing up, noticing who I was.
"I'm here because I wanted to see my mate." I've had my fair share of girls but I've never seen someone so gorgeous as her. The others can't even compare. Her eyes flickered down to my lips before she clenched her hands a bit, stopping herself from doing something I desperately wished she did. She finally looked down at what she was wearing and blushed which made her look extremely adorable. Diana was the shy kind and I loved it. I slowly stood up as she crossed her arms over her chest trying to hide her body from me. I felt hurt she didn't want me to see her but I didn't want to push her into anything she didn't feel comfortable with. I wanted her to feel as comfortable and confident as she could. Yet, my body wasn’t listening to my mind as I found myself getting up and walking towards her.
"Diana is such a lovely name," I whispered close enough to caress her soft cheek with the tips of my fingers. Her eyes closed, savoring the feeling of my gentle touch. Just the tiniest of skin contact had my body on fire again and my breathing sped up when she opened up her big warm brown eyes and looked up straight into mine. I could see mixed emotions stirring inside her through those beautiful eyes.
"What's yours?" She whispered even though she didn't have too. Her voice was so soothing that it sent shivers down my spine.
"Angelo," I answered her unable to help myself from looking down at her lips as she repeated it to herself and remember it. My heart was thumping against my chest in a frightening manner as I leaned down to kiss her. I felt like it was my first time kissing anyone, a strong feeling I wouldn't be good enough for her was erupting throughout my chest. What is wrong with me? I sounded like a girl and I haven't been with her for more than an hour!
Her soft pink lips felt so good against mine, spine-tingling chills went down my back when our lips made contact. I didn't want this moment to end.
The door slammed opened and she jumped away in shock. I kept in a growl that was threatening to come out because of the disturbance. I looked behind me and glared when it was that guy from earlier again. What's his name? Carl? No. Claus? No. Damn it, I couldn’t remember.
"Why are you here? Get out." He demanded. Who is he to talk to me like that?
"What?" The corners of my mouth turned up into a smile but my eyes were far from expressing happiness. Clenching my fist and jaw I was about to punch him or at least harm him in some way when Diana put out a hand on my arm, stopping me. The skin on skin contact sending shivers through me and I froze mostly because I didn't want her to take her hand away.
"You were about to leave, right Angelo?" Diana asked like nothing just happened like I wasn't her mate!
"I was here because-" I started to say, ignoring her pleading look for me to stay quiet. I was her mate and I was not about to leave her alone in her underwear near this asshole. I took a step in front of her blocking him from looking at my mate's body half naked. Only I get to see her like that and less.
"Because you wanted to tell me something so now you can go." Diana interrupted me and even went as far and pushing me towards the door. Well, she tried because she got nowhere as I stood in my spot with her pulling and tugging on my arms like a crazy person.
"She said leave and I advise you to listen to the orders of the alpha's daughter," Cam said taking a step towards me. Oh, how I want to punch him so badly in the face right now. But he was right, if I wanted to her dad to start liking me, I need everyone in the pack to like me as well, including this prick.
"You'll regret this angel," I whispered in her ear along with a low growl only for her to hear. She gulped loudly as I walked out the door, stopping to look Cam straight in the eyes. He tensed up ready for a fight before I finally broke the eye contact and left her room. Why did she not want me to tell him that I was her mate? It was a huge blow to the chest, no scratch that it was like a huge blow to the balls. I wanted to claim what was mine and tell it to the whole world. I will eventually, she is my angel, only mine.
