BETROTHED TO THE DOMINANT ALPHA

Chapter 4 - I have a mate!

Larisa's pov

Ezra locked me inside a room and put his trusted men outside the door for guarding.

Only he was allowed to enter!

Tears rolled down from my eyes and the maudlin feelings I was hiding so hard came to me at once. I thought I was free from Raquel's prison but that dream shattered when I stepped into another one and this time even the surroundings are unfamiliar.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted my helpless cry!

"Who's this?" I asked with a brusque tone.

"I am Laura, Alpha assigned me to serve you, if you need anything please let me know!" She said standing behind the door.

Ezra was mocking me, he locked me here against my will yet he sent me a personal servant!

"Leave for now, I don't need anything!" I commanded.

I spent the rest of the day between the black sheets of that room, My body felt like a soulless human counting the last days of my life.

Meanwhile...

Ezra's pov

What is this pain in my heart? I have never felt this pain before...

"Are you feeling pain?" Storm asked.

"I am surprised too!" A smile flashed on Storm's lips.

"I guess your mate is hurt because of your reckless behavior of k********g Larisa!" He said.

Storm and I are childhood friends, he knows me better than anyone and he always has answers to all my worries as if he is born to do that!

"Do you think I have a mate?" I asked.

He put his hand on my left shoulder and spoke looking straight into my eyes "you're feeling the pain because of your mate or maybe your mate is in some kind of trouble!"

Storm's words conflicted my mind and heart, I was on the path of revenge thinking I don't have a mate but now out of nowhere, this acrimonious pain hinted to me about the existence of my mate!

"So what are you going to do now, alpha?" Storm fixed his gaze on my lips to hear my decision.

"I have already started the revenge, and I must take it to the end." A disappointing look flashed on Storm's face and I was well aware that he wanted me to do something else, he wanted me to lead a life without revenge though the promise I made to my brother is the only thing that matters now.

Larisa's pov

Someone entered the room and interrupted my deep sleep.

"How can you sleep so well after hurting me so much?" Ezra muttered, coming closer to me.

He crawled onto the bed and put his body weight on me.

"What are you doing?" I asked angrily, yet he ignored my words and cinched both my hands above my head with his strong grip.

His evil smirk was revealing his intentions and I got the idea of his next move!

He moved his lips closer to mine as if he was about to touch them, yet he surprisingly shifted his gaze to my neck.

"You can't mark me, you need my permission for that or your marking won't be complete!" I reminded him of the marking rule.

"Is there a rule like this?" He asked in his seductive tone.

I furrowed my brows and replied, "you're an alpha yet unaware of the rules, such a shame!"

My words made his evil smirk turn into a bitter one as he couldn't claim me because of the rule!

"You're going to give me your permission for marking, I will make sure you agree to it!" Having said that, he freed my hands from his strong grip.

"No food for you tonight, sorry!" He commanded and left.

Ezra's pov

What was that?

The moment I looked into her eyes, I felt something strange, a strong connection with her as if she is my fated mate!

They say you recognize your mate when you look into their eyes, does that mean the Moon Goddess chose her for me?

No, that can't be, she was Kendrick's, fated mate.

I must be out of my mind!

Though I desire to make her my mate only to give her the same pain that she caused my brother, And for that, I am going to serve you with immense torture until you break down and beg me for marking, Larisa Dankworth!

I, Ezra Aphelion, will not back down from my word.
