*Belle’s POV*
It was my sixteenth birthday or the sixteenth year of my life however you choose to call it, it doesn’t matter. I had shifted for the first time and my wolf was beautiful if I do say so myself, she had white fur as white as snow and it seemed to turn silver when hit with light from the moon and had the clearest blue eyes you could ever imagine.
I had gone for a test run and discovered she was very fast too but her strength was also evident when we were attacked by three rogue wolves. We growled warning them to stay back but the wolves seem to see it as an invitation to attack and they all pounced on us at the same time. Instinctively Daisy shook them off with so much strength they all went flying into nearby trees. Running and pouncing on the first one she ripped his throat out with a single bite and in less than a second she killed the other two in similar manner. This event made me know my wolf was strong as a she-wolf shouldn’t be able to fight three wolves on her own considering they were all male.
My wolf was strong which rubbed off on me but I never imagined we were strong enough to overpower an alpha and not just any alpha, a royal alpha but even though I was shocked by the strength I just exhibited I was more concerned with my conversation with him. Walking to my room I wondered what he thought of himself that made him think he could treat me that way. Sure he was the royal alpha but that doesn’t give him the right to treat anyone like that much less his mate.
I opened the door to my room, stepped in and just as I was about to shut the door I felt a hand stop the door from closing and the alpha step in. Lost in my thoughts and anger I hadn’t notice he was following me. “I didn’t say you could come in” I say with anger in my voice “I didn’t know I needed permission from a lowly maid to move around in my house” he replies with anger in voice that matched mine, but him calling me lowly hurt me far more than his anger.
“What do you want” I asked curbing my anger and forcing calm into my voice. “y-you are a maid” he says as if confirming a suspicion, rolling my eyes “wow I wouldn’t have guessed” I reply sounding more bored than angry but I noticed his eyes was moving down my body taking in every curve and trying to strip me with all the lust in them.
He cleared his throat as he continued “I won’t introduce you as my mate being the maid that you are so, you are going to leave first thing tomorrow for the silver stone pack where you’d be adopted and trained by the alpha to be a queen then I’d come claim you”. He says with satisfaction in his voice and his eyes on my breast. I couldn’t help but smile at this sight and the idea that formed in my head. If he thought he could order me around and model me into his perfect helpless little mate he thought wrong because I won’t be his if he doesn’t accept me as I am.
Alpha I said, not knowing his name, with a seductive smile on my face, submission in my voice and my hips swaying as walked to him and placed my hand on his chest. I traced his abs through his shirt making him suck in his breath then stood on my toe to reach the crook of his neck as he was much taller than I was in his 6 feet 6 inches full height.
I placed a soft kick on his neck which made him groan in pleasure pushing my breasts into his chest and he instinctively wrap his hands around my waist as I continued kissing his marking spot. I moved to his ear placing a soft kiss on it I whispered “not on your sweet life” and pulled away. I could see he was still reveling in sweet sensations of the moment we just had. Jabbing my fingers into his chest and bringing him to reality, anger returning to my eyes and voice “I would remain here, in this house as a maid, but I won’t be yours or have any of that…” moving my hands in the air referring to what just happened “with you, until you claim me as your mate just as I am, a maid in front of everyone”. I finish. He looked at me with frustration and anger in his eyes obviously wanting to continue what I had started but instead he stormed out of my room slamming the door.
I sank down to the floor after he left tears rolling down my face. I was hurt deeply by his treatment of me and the mere fact that he wanted to change me made me feel betrayed by him. I also knew from the sensations still lingering in my body that I was going to suffer as much as he was after what just transpired between us. My body ached from not being in his arms and my wolf was whimpering in pain, we missed him already. However I wanted him to know that I wouldn’t be one of those mates who simply gave in to their mates every silly requests and desires, he had to learn to respect me and who I was.
So I got up wiped my tears and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
Shutting the shower off I had decided I won’t give in to him or the urges of the mate pull, he had to get down from his high horse and be my mate not my alpha. I got into bed but couldn’t get to sleep immediately and after hours of tossing and turning I finally drifted to sleep dream of you know who.
*Cain’s POV*
Getting back to my room I was boiling with anger, that little vixen I had for a mate just left me feeling more on edge than I had ever been in my entire life. I knew a cold shower won’t be able to get rid of how I was feeling. She dared challenged my authority in a way I had no defenses against “damn her” I blurted out to the room and myself.
My wolf begged me to go claim her and forget she was a maid. He was already in love with her, he saw no challenge in the way she addressed us as a matter of fact he loved her confidence and thought she’d make a fine royal Luna. Her strength appealed to him and he wanted nothing more than for her to be in his arms.
I had to admit also there was something about her nothing giving into me immediately that turned me on more, I wanted to grab her, kiss every part of her and claim her there and then but I didn’t bow to anyone wishes but mine I wasn’t about to bow to the wishes of a woman. I mean all the women I had ever known were ready to kiss a frog if I wanted them to but my mate would have none of my authoritative and imposing personality.
However I wasn’t just any alpha I was an alpha who ruled over alphas and I am used to having my way in all things, I’m yet to meet a person who didn’t bow to my will…well except for her today. I knew she was affected by that little act of seduction as much as I was affected and that would be my weapon against her, she would eventually give into my will and I will be waiting, if it was a game she wanted to play, a game she would get. I turned into the bathroom took a shower and tried to sleep but I couldn’t stop the feeling of emptiness that consumed me. I wanted her in my arms by my side and my wolf was howling in pain at not being close to our mate, we were missing her and everything about her already. Tossing and turning for hours I was finally consumed by sleep.
