The Alpha’s Scorned Mate and the Secret Heirs

Chapter 3

“But earlier you said—-“ I started to protest but he cut me off.

“Forget whatever I said earlier. That was just a show for the warriors and any enemies who may be watching. I need to keep my reputation scary even if that’s not how I feel in my heart.” He said and my heart jumped up with hope.

Was he telling the truth? Did he really think I was special?

His hands stroked my chin carefully and he looked into my eyes. “I mean every word I just said. You’re very precious to me and I want to take care of you if you let me.” When he said that, I felt the mating bond in me buzz with joy and excitement.

“My men said your family abandoned you and you have no one left, is that true?” He asked and I nodded tearfully as the memory of my father wishing for my death replayed in my mind.

“Don’t worry sweetheart, you never ever have to worry about them again. I will protect and provide for you from now on.” He promised and I became emotional at his words.

He was telling the truth! My mate didn’t hate me! He wanted to take care of me! The goddess had finally answered my cries and sent me a man who would love me! I was so happy that I began to cry from joy and relief.

He was nothing like the wicked Alpha I thought he was. I was going to have a good life. I was so happy.

“Oh baby please don’t cry, I’m here now, I’ll take very good care of you. Will you let me? Will you let me show you how much I want you?” He asked and I nodded.

He tilted my chin and kissed me passionately. It felt so good that I practically melted into his arms. He continued kissing me and rubbing me softly with his hands. I moaned as the desire from the mating bond became stronger and stronger until it was too strong to resist.

He lay me back on the bed and climbed over me. He slowly stripped off my clothes while kissing every inch of my body. I had never ever felt this much love or desire in my entire life.

He stripped his clothes and I gaped at him. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen, and I felt my desire for him burn stronger than before.

This time, when he kissed me again, I lost it. I kissed him back with equal pleasure and let him have his way with me.

We made love two times before he pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead lovingly. I fell asleep in his arms immediately. I was too exhausted from joy and happiness.

The next morning, I woke up alone and in an empty room. The bed was cold and Zander was gone. I frowned in confusion when I realized that he didn’t even leave a note to explain his absence.

But maybe he was busy, maybe he had an emergency to attend to. I should find him and see what I could to help him, after all, I was his mate and future Luna of this pack.

The thought made me giggle to myself.

I was going to be the Luna of the most powerful pack in the region soon! I couldn’t believe it!

I was just about to start dressing when I heard a knock and a woman walked in. I realized it was Maria, the same woman who had bathed me, refused to help me and told me my only freedom was in death.

I almost smirked at her. She was clearly wrong. Look at me, I had gone from being a poor, unwanted Omega to to be of the most powerful pack in the land.

“Good morning ma’am,” She said, bowing down to me. “The Alpha has assigned me to be your maid, my job is to help you to get anything and everything you want in the palace. Is there anything you want right now ma’am?” She asked and I smiled.

“Yes, I would like to see my mate and specially thank him for everything. Can you take me to him?” I asked to walk forward but Maria suddenly moved forward and blocked the door.

“I’m sorry ma’am, I can’t let you go out.” She said and I frowned in confusion.

“What? Why?”

“The Alpha has given direct orders to never let you leave this room ma’am. There are guards positioned outside the door as we speak. Their only job is to stop you from going out. I’m sorry ma’am.” She said, bowing again.

I am thoroughly confused now. “Why would he do that? Is there something dangerous outside that he’s protecting me from?” I asked but Maria looked up at me with pity in her eyes.

“Miss Lana, please I sincerely hope that you have not forgotten the advice I gave you earlier. Forget any hope or desire of freedom you might have, because the only freedom you will ever get here is death.” She said and I froze.

Why was she still saying that? Didn’t she see that I had been moved from the dungeon to a luxurious room? The Alpha had even taken care of me himself yesterday. He told me I was special and he promised to take care of me. So Maria was probably mistaken… right?

I didn’t see Alpha Zander for a whole week after that, and that continued to frustrate and depress me to no end, but at the same time, I couldn’t complain.

During that week, Maria showered me with a non-stop flow of the most expensive gifts sent by the Alpha.

I was given the most expensive clothes, shoes, food and drinks or anything else that I wanted in that week.

But When I asked about Alpha Zander, I was told he was busy and would see me later. When I tried to go and meet him, the guards blocked me and reminded me that I was given strict orders to stay in my room until Zander came to visit me.

It was beginning to feel like a prison, but at least it was better than being in the dungeon. That’s what I told myself to stop the worry and anxiety that was blooming in my heart.

What was really happening? Was Zander tired of me? Was he disgusted by me? Did he come to his senses and realize that he never wanted a pathetic, weak little Omega like me?

Sometimes, these questions would plague me so much that I would spend all night crying and begging Zander to come to me in my dreams.

One day I finally had enough and decided to do something about it. I was going to sneak out and find Zander. He was going to tell me what was wrong by himself. I was tired of waiting and being lied to.

So one day, I asked Maria for sleeping pills because I was having trouble sleeping. Maria brought them and I pretended to take them in front of her, when in reality I hid them and kept them for later.
