“What's going on,” I asked as I began to feel nervous about this sudden change in his facial expression. “My name is Roman Wayne but everyone in my pack addresses me as Alpha Roman since I am their alpha.” He finally answered me.
“So you can call me Alpha Roman instead of Mr stranger," I sighed as I felt some relief in my spine, “That’s a good name you got there, my name is Zara but my papa calls me Za, but he's late ”
“So what was it you wanted to tell me before,” Immediately after asking him, his facial expression changed again.
He moved away from me and turned his back as he groaned at me, you are… are… are … my mate. This word sank immediately in my heart, my wolf started dragging me closer to him.
“You are my mate!” I screamed at him, “Yes, you are. The moment I grabbed your hands, I perceived a smell that I had never come across, and we all know that the moment we see our mate that is what's going to happen.”
“But I cannot accept you as my mate; you are a weak wolf, and you can't be my mate. I'm already engaged with another lady, which I intend to crown as my Luna. She is a fierce warrior and her by my side we would be stronger and overcome any battle that crossed our paths.”
I am a mate to an Alpha that rejected me, “Moon goddess, why did you bring me into this life to suffer,” I said my voice barely whispering.
He turned and faced me, holding my hands, a smile restored to his face as he told me that he wanted me, but the reason for the rejection was that I wouldn't be able to handle the affairs of his pack.
“I… I…. I….. am your mate?” I asked again while my voice stammered, “Please keep this between the both of us. No one must find out about this.”
I nodded, but my heart was filled with sorrow as I never planned my life to be this way, I always wanted my mate to be an Alpha, and we will love each other for our weakness and strength.
But here I am facing the opposite. Suddenly, my vision started to blur as I couldn't see my saviour again; I fell to the ground and bruised my ankle.
“Zara….”
“Zara….”
“Zara…. wake up, wake up”. I heard voices screaming at me; my vision started getting clearer as I saw Alpha in front of the bed I was lying helplessly in.
“Phew, thank God you are alive,” I was looking at him with my face filled with curiosity.
“You passed out last night, so I rushed you to my castle and called my matron to come treat you and waited all night, but you weren't waking up.”
“Oh really, thanks though, you such a gentleman.” I look at him while smiling. My stomach started gurgling as I knew hunger had set in, “can I ask you for a favour, Alpha.”
“Go on, I am all ears,” “ I am hungry; my stomach has been empty since yesterday afternoon,” I put on a dull expression as I asked politely.
“Tessy! Tessy! Tessy!” Alpha Roman shouted his voice dripping with annoyance and impatience
Where's that little b***h; he screamed at the top of his voice, echoing through the castle corridor making the candle flicker and tapestries tremble
Tessy, the petite servant, curtsied deeply as she entered the room. "Yes, Alpha Roman?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly as she addressed her alpha.
Alpha Roman, still pacing back and forth in front of my bed, turned to face her, “what took you so long to answer my call, you worthless servant,” he growled loudly, “you see that lady over there attend to all her needs and make sure she is comfortable so she can enjoy her stay in this castle.”
Tessy nodded eagerly, her eyes wide with a desire to please. "Yes, Alpha Roman. Right away, Alpha Roman."
Alpha Roman's expression softened slightly as he looked at Zara. I was really confused about how he treated me respectfully and kindly but was very cruel and disdainful to Tessy.
Tessy lifted her head, her eyes twitching as Alpha Roman turned to leave. She felt a sting from his harsh words, and tears began to gather in the corners of her eyes.
As soon as Alpha Roman was out of sight, Tessy let out a quiet sob, her shoulders shaking with suppressed tears. She quickly wiped her eyes with the hem of her apron, composing herself before anyone else saw her.
The hurt and humiliation lingered, burning in her chest like a slow fire. She couldn't help but wonder why Alpha Roman was so cruel to her, why he seemed to take pleasure in belittling her.
“Ma'am, what would you like to have for breakfast?” She finally asked.
At this point, I was famished and I needed to put something into my stomach, then I could start asking questions to suit my curiosity
I would like to have scrambled eggs with chicken, rice, broccoli, bacon, sausage, and melted cheese on a toasted bagel
I sighed as I felt some relief in my body, “please be fast with it,” “alright ma'am”
She left, leaving the doors open and a thought came to my mind to throw around the castle.
My eyes snapped down to my legs, and my face contorted in horror. Chains wrapped around my ankles, and the rigid iron stood still. I tugged at the restraints, but they didn't move.
"No...no...no..." I whispered, my voice trembling with fear. I looked around the room frantically, but there was no one in sight.
Panic set in, my heart racing and my breath coming in short gasps. I pulled at the chains again, but they held fast. I Was trapped.
I got tired and just decided to relax my head as it started to hurt. “Hello, ma'am. Your breakfast is ready; the Alpha asked me to give you these keys.”
“Thanks, dear, you can leave now, I will call you when I am done eating.” Tessy dropped the food on the golden table beside my bed. I didn't even wait for a second before rushing the food down my throat.
Tessy hadn't left yet, as she stood so lost, glancing at me with so much disgust on her face like she saw pigs eating rotten foods.
I couldn't help but ask her to leave, “Leave my presence now before I summon the Alpha” “So.. sorry ma'am, I will be on my way now,” she replied with her voice shaking in fear.
Immediately after she left, I continued eating irritatingly
I heard a loud masculine voice immediately after Tessy left, “who is that little swine you were making breakfast for”
