Hated by her Alpha mate

The Carters

Rachel was sitting on the couch, skimming through a random book. She felt an alluring scent, coursing through her body. She felt so warm that she wanted to hug the person who is seducing her. She wanted to be with him so badly.

As if the Moon Goddess listened to her, there he stood, in front of her, his green eyes piercing into hers. A shiver ran through her immediately. He bent down slowly and brought his stoic face close to hers. She couldn't breathe anymore, she just wanted to touch him, to feel him, the warmth of his body. He looked at her lips, with yearning. He cupped her face in his palms.

Their lips almost touch...

"Get up you lazy pig!" shouted Elliot. She was standing by Rachel's door in her white jammies and her black eyes were glaring at Rachel. Her black short hair was all over her face because of the wind blowing in from the window. Elliot literally looked like a ghost.

Rachel woke up startled and sweating.

It was just a dream.

(Grace) Definitely an erotic one... yummy.

Shut up, Grace.

"What do you want?" asked Rachel.

"Mother has been calling you for ages! My ears are bleeding."

"I'll be down in a minute." Elliot slammed the door and disappeared. Rachel got up and went to take a shower. Her head was hurting badly. In the shower, she thought of the previous day's encounter with Alfred.

The whole experience was so embarrassing! Didn't he feel the mate bond?

(Grace) He should have.

I got a hostile vibe from him. Maybe he didn't want to acknowledge the bond in public.

(Grace) Possibly. I can't think of any other reason.

Or... he didn't like me.

(Grace) You don't know that!! Mate bond is so much more than just physical attraction. It is meant to be eternal and it unites two individuals for many lives to come. Grace explained proudly.

Rachel knew that Grace was growing impatient after finding their mate. But she didn't know what to do about it. Grace had already waited for two years after coming of age to find her mate.

I don't think I can do anything but wait for Alfred to make a move.

As usual, Rachel was doing her laundry in the morning. Even after having cooks and servants, Rachel had to do all her chores by herself including cooking, laundry, and cleaning. She wasn't even allowed to share a meal table with the family. Some servants felt bad for her and had tried to help her. They were harshly punished by Lily whenever she found out. Evidently, she was just part of the family in papers but not in reality.

(Grace) It's been a week now! Where is our mate?

I don't know!

(Grace) You should just call him. Or go to his place.

As if I can simply walk into the Alpha's house and cry out "Alfred, here I am, your mate."

Suddenly she felt two arms around her. She knew who it was and yelled, "Samuel! What the hell!"

Samuel laughed. He was nineteen and a year younger than Rachel. Though only nineteen he was big in stature and towered above Rachel.

"Aren't you daydreaming a lot these days, dear?" His face rested on her shoulders and his arms wrapped around her waist. She turned and pushed him away.

"Enough, I told you I don't like this." snapped Rachel.

"But I love it."

"I am your sister, for god's sake!"

"Not by blood", he winked at her. "Not my fault that you turn me on!" He said with a sheepish smile running his fingers over his buzzcut head. He tried to touch her shoulders and Rachel revolted again.

"Don't touch me!"

"Why so angry sis? You need to let out some heat. How long are you gonna save your virginity for your mate? Better get some action now while you are young and tempting." He winked again. Rachel felt so disgusted that she could throw up on his face.

"I found my mate so enough of your bullshit! Or do you want a reminder in your balls again?" she threatened him. A few weeks ago Samuel had tried to kiss her and she had kicked him in the balls while defending herself.

"No kidding you b***h!" he laughed. She glared at him and then stormed away.

Later that evening, Rachel was called upon by her dad. She wondered why because rarely did her father talk to her. When she entered his study he was busy going through some papers. Without averting his attention he asked, "So who is your mate?"

What!! How does he know?! s**t. That fool Samuel!

"Umm...I am still not sure...if he's.."

"Who is it?" Again focussing on his papers.

"Alfred."

"Who?" He suddenly looked up at Rachel.

"Alfred Ramirez."

John literally opened his mouth for a second. He immediately composed himself, "Are you sure?"

"I don't know, I am sure I felt it, but..." there was a pause. She didn't know how to explain.

"Fine. Leave."

A couple of days later Lily came and asked Rachel to start packing her stuff.

"A chauffeur from Ramirez house will come to get you tomorrow morning."

"I didn't get you. What's happening?"

"Are you deaf? Exactly what I said."

"What happened so suddenly?"

"You are our future alpha's mate! What else could happen? John informed Alpha Ramirez and he immediately arranged for your relocation."

Rachel was too surprised to say anything. The tide turned so fast that she could hardly believe it. Finally, her dream was coming true. The one she had hoped for her whole life, her savior had come to rescue her.
