The Alpha's Runt Mate (complete)

Chapter 3: Willa POV

Chapter 3: Willa POV

There were no words for how beautiful his blue eyes were or how handsome his face was. His black hair reminded me of a Greek statue with perfect curls. The way he smiled at me was everything.

I knew I had to be delusional. There was no way he or anyone else would want me. After the altercation involving the alpha claiming to be my mate, my father, and Lucas I sat silently with my eyes down. I was being treated like an object. One second I'm being thrown around like a ragdoll by my father, the next my mate is keeping me in submission by forcing me to sit through a meeting where my worst abuser Lucas was able to sit across from me and glare at me.

The longer we sat at the table I felt something pulling me towards the alpha with black curly hair. As midnight approached i found that I had scooted all the way until there was no space left between us. Almost as if on instinct I touched his arm and he pulled me into his side, wrapping his arm around me. I rested my head against his chest.

At 11:55 I felt Lucas kick me under the table. "Stop touching him, you w***e," he mind-linked. His tone made me anxious. I started to untangle myself from my mate but he pulled me back in. "You're supposed to be my mate," Lucas mind-linked me. "Reject him and stay here where you belong. Don't be a slut. You'll just disappoint your father again." I felt tears threaten my eyes. My mate was pulling me in even closer, wanting to comfort me I think.

"Please excuse me" I said, barely above a whisper. I pulled away and the alpha growled. I whimpered and stopped halfway across the room. I felt frozen, overwhelmed by all the different reactions I was getting from him and the different directions I was being pulled by everyone.

The clock chimed midnight and some warm strange feelings triggered inside me and shot around my body like fireworks. My heart raced and my wolf was screaming "Mate!" at the top of her lungs. I ran into his arms and cried "Mate, you're my real mate!" He gently smoothed my hair back and said, "Yes, I am little mate. Now tell me, what is your name?" I swallowed hard as i said, "Willa." He leaned down and inhaled my scent. "Nice to meet you, Willa. My name is Alpha Nathan but you can call me Nate." He nestled his nose into my hair and kissed the top of my head, which made my heart thud and melt at the same time.
