Mated to the Alpha King

Chapter Three

Zoey's pov

I burst out laughing after processing the words that came out of Ethan’s lips. I can’t even imagine myself falling in love with that pervert he calls a father. I might be everything but I could never be a slut.

Even though my body was entirely shaken by tiredness, I could not stop myself from assuring Ethan that would never ever be interested in his father, it was hilarious so I said those words after I had laughed enough to my heart's content.

“If it's a no you could have just said it, instead of laughing so much…" Ethan didn't sound so angry as he was totally embarrassed and I saw his cheeks become slightly pink.

Guyyyyyy he was blushing.

However, the air of nonchalance and humor simmered down immediately after he placed his hand on my chin and lifted my blue eyes to look into his.

My heart catapulted into a race and it began to beat faster than it has ever done in my entire life. It was like I was running a marathon race.

I had always been told that the mate bond makes one feel on top of the world. The sparks, the attraction, and the intense feeling like someone is pressing your heart. Yet I didn’t expect it to be this intense, experiencing it for myself was another ball game entirely, and for a moment I imagined that I was not a miserable servant girl but someone that was allowed to be loved and have emotions.

Then I would kiss him right now and I wouldn't have to worry about anything. I closed my eyes and imagined his lips pressed against mine, and his tongue entwined with mine. I could already picture his hands moving inside my blouse to pull my pale white bra as he would push me to the wall while caressing my neck with his left hand.

And then I felt the warmth of his body which brought me back to reality.

I opened up my eyes and I noticed that the mate bond was affecting him also because he had already placed his lips on mine when I received to open up to accept the kiss, his right hand moved slowly down to my butt and he pinched my left cheek but the euphoria feeling had simmered down a little and I remembered that was the exact way his pervert father likes to pinch my butt when no one was looking.

Alpha Blake derived joy from sneakily brushing his fingers over my butt or sometimes when he was bored and certain that there was no one nearby he would even go as far as snatching my hands to the wall and touching me everywhere.

I squirmed a little expecting him to get the memo that I didn’t want his touch anymore. I pushed him slightly but he didn't move back but instead pressed himself harder to me.

He began to squeeze me even more and then his lips were harder as if he was punishing me for something, I was left in a dilemma. On one hand, I felt like I was enjoying his attention but on the other hand, I was also feeling uncomfortable because I wasn’t ready yet, I actually realized that I wanted to do this but not in this way.

I added more force and then he finally backed down I could feel the blood rushing across my face as he was looking at me and the desire that was burning in his eyes. I felt like I was going to get burnt by that desire.

"Zoey, you are feeling the same thing as I am right? You want this too don't you? we can have it… we just have to be quick and then nobody will ever notice us…" Ethan said in a hurry like I was a w***e he met on the street.

I looked at him with my jaw on the floor, he was speaking to me, his mate, as if I was just some kind of prostitute that he met on the street and wanted to hump. Both the father and son just want my body not my heart, truly the same blood runs through their body.

"This is going to be my first time…how could I do that in a filthy laundry room?"

He looked at me and suddenly the passion in his eyes became negative as it seemed as if his face was twisting up.

"Come on none of that really matters, let's just do it once and then reject each other…" Ethan muttered.

I took a good look at him, I couldn’t fathom the fact that my mate wanted to have s*x with me in a dirty laundry room. He doesn’t even value the fact that I kept my virginity for him and waited, all of that for a no-good mate.

I felt really disgusted and I could not handle the shivers that ran across my skin, the attraction I felt a few minutes ago turned into disgust

I couldn't believe that I had actually considered sleeping with this man, with my hands crossed and a determined look in my eyes. Before I could even utter a word Ethan had already hit my hands and tried pulling my clothes all in the name of him being my mate. I screamed his name.

“Ethan let me go, I Zoey reject you as my mate”. I said.

I couldn’t imagine where I had the energy to push him back and the strength to break the mate bond.

I became petrified with fear the moment I saw his eyes which had already become stony. I began wondering how I was going to get out of this situation when I heard a loud over pitched voice. I couldn't imagine that I would be so happy to hear that voice. Veronica became my knight in shining armor.

"Ethan, I have been looking for you all over, where have you been?"

She didn't even notice that I was in the laundry room or acknowledge my presence. She wrapped her hands around Ethan's neck and took him away while he was shooting daggers in my direction.

My legs gave up on trying to carry my weight the instant they left, I fell to the floor. I felt so brave just a moment ago but now the adrenaline had gone out of my body like water going down the drain.

I could see in his eyes and I felt the anger in his body. Ethan was definitely going to make my life more miserable than it was already.

Tears started running down my face…

What did I just do?

Few Weeks Later

Zoey’s POV

I woke up very early to begin the preparation for Clara’s engagement party. I had to make sure everything was in order and in the right place.

Thank God my mistress and her husband wanted no mistakes happening in the party so they hired other chefs to help me in the preparation.

My mistress, Clara and Veronica went all out, because they went shopping and almost brought the whole boutique with them, because what’s all this they got for a day ceremony.

“Zoe!!! Do not let me repeat myself, come take all these bags upstairs!” My mistress screamed. I rushed down to go meet her before she split my head or burst my eardrum.

That’s all she does, she loves screaming my name, Zoey this, Zoey that… urrgh… How in the name of God am I going to carry all these. The bags were overflowing with clothes.

“Zoey make sure everything is in order because Aiden is coming over soon and I do not want any embarrassment.” My mistress said.

“Mom she’s an embarrassment on her own, I don’t want her showing her ugly face at my party, so tell her not to leave the basement once she’s done serving us at the table” Clara said

“You heard her Zoey, once you are done serving us at the table, take your leave, it’s not like you are needed at the table” my mistress said while flicking her fingers.

“She’s a waste of space truly, she shouldn’t be allowed during the party” Veronica added her two cents to the discussion.

I hate my life everyday in this house, everyone treats me like s**t. I clean up after them and I don’t even get a thank you. I really just want to die and take a break from all this hardship I have been facing.

After packing the bags and moving to the kitchen to check if the chefs were done cooking. A guard came to inform us that the Alpha King was around and we were to start dishing out the food.

I went to the party with the other helpers we hired for this ceremony and started serving drinks and the first course of meal. I did not see Clara’s mate on the seat designated for him, so I was forced to ask Clara if I should serve his food also, but I didn’t finish my statement before Clara threw her cup of juice at my face.

“You this piece of s**t, you know I’m allergic to mango juice and you gave it to me”! Clara screamed.

“I… I am definitely sur..” before I even finished my statement, my mistress had already stood from her seat to come meet me and gave me a dirty slap, and I began seeing stars immediately. It felt like my eardrums had broken.

I could have sworn with my life, it was orange juice I poured into her cup, how it turned to mango juice was something I didn’t understand.

“After I told you not to make any scene today, you still want to spoil Clara’s day”. My mistress screamed while dragging me out of the room with my ears.

“Mistress I swear I gave her orange juice” I cried.

“You cannot find a mate and you won’t let those that have found their mates be happy” my mistress shouted while beating me with a belt. I was in a crouched position trying to protect my head, the iron from the belt hit my back repeatedly and I could feel blood dripping from my back. She had already split my back open with the belt.

After she had successfully beaten me blue black she dropped the belt and told me to clean up the bloodied floor. Sometimes I wished I wasn’t given birth to.

After crying for a while, I decided to end my life. After all, what is the reason for being alive if I am living this kind of life?

I ran out of the house passing the back door, I ran like my life depends on it. I was running deep into the forest, I wanted to end my life at the cliff, I would just jump down and die.

Leaves and branches were slapping my cheeks and I could feel pains from the sole of my feet, that was because I wasn’t wearing slippers, I was barefooted. I noticed someone’s presence in the forest following me as I ran towards the cliff but I wasn’t bothered because nobody truly cares. I could see the cliff closer, and so I spread my hands out running close to the cliff with all smiles because I was ready to die.

I got to the cliff and I jumped. Well I did but someone snatched my hands, and it was like an electric current passed through me. I felt it in my brain, I felt like my brain cells were dancing. This spark is way stronger than what I felt when Ethan touched me before I rejected him.

I knew this was my second chance mate but what I wasn’t expecting was for him to drag me up and he happens to be Clara’s fiancé …

“Do you want to kill yourself” Aiden scream, I didn’t even reply him because I was trying to process what was happening.

The universe must be kidding me.
