“Alpha Roman is so hot.”
“I heard he is still in search of a mate.”
“Hopefully, he'll find one at this party.”
“Ugh, he is not all that, please keep moving.” I shrugged off the set of three girls that were fantasizing about Alpha Roman right in front of me.
And please ignore all those things they said, he's just an ordinary man. Alpha Roman is the leader and Alpha of my pack, the Blackwood pack. He just won a battle against a rival pack, and decided to throw a huge feast to celebrate his victory.
So proud.
I haven't seen or met him before but I've heard several things about him; how dominant, strong, ruthless and arrogant he is.
I wouldn't have attended this party if it wasn't mandatory for all the pack members to attend. The party was taking place inside one of the halls in his mansion which was at the center of the town.
“I hope this is worth my time.” I whispered to myself as I entered the mansion.
Not bad.
The mansion was up to standard and the gold encrusted chandelier that hung at the center of the hall was eye-catching and the well dressed maids too were something to write home about.
“Attention everyone! Bow your heads as you acknowledge your Alpha,” A guard yelled from the podium at the center of the hall.
What a joke, there is no way I'm bowing before a common man.
Alpha Roman entered the hall with his entourage including his Beta, Tristan. They walked like they ruled the world. Alpha Roman's aura of power filled the room such that if something as light as a pin dropped, it would be heard.
My head was firmly upright as I stared at them and with everyone else bowing, I stood out.
“You! How dare you?!” Tristan, Roman's Beta yelled, pointing at me from the podium as they mounted it.
“What's wrong Tristan?” Roman's deep cold voice sent a chill down my spine.
But I refuse to fold.
“There's someone amongst the members who has refused to bow, my Alpha.” Tristan responded.
“What?! Who dares defy my authority? Guards, bring the rebel up here. I shall use he or she as a reminder to others that attempt to defy me.” Roman roared, he was filled with rage.
Haah! what an empty threat. Am I supposed to be scared or what?
“I can walk on my own, thank you.” I spat on the guards that tried to grab my arms, sending the whole hall into a state of murmur. I cast a stern glare as I walked towards the podium.
The proud jerk wasn't even facing me, he was busy flaunting his prowess to the pack members.
“Sir, here she is.” The guard announced as I climbed up the podium.
“So you are the perpe…..” he halted as he turned to face me and our eyes met each other.
My heartbeat began to increase as his deep red eyes bore into mine, my wolf was mewling rapidly. It wants to embrace him so badly.
His eyes that were previously filled with rage became softened so as my resistance. We maintained eye contact for quite a long time and we were both finding it hard to break.
“What's your name?” He asked, finally breaking eye contact with me.
“Luna.” I replied with a firm voice trying to hide the softness I was feeling at the moment.
He went all silent after I responded. What's he thinking?
“What should be her fate, my Alpha?” Tristan queried.
I wonder what his problem is.
“Take her to the head of the female werewolves of the pack. Let her become one of our maidens. Go to her house and get her belongings. She is to live with us now.” Roman responded.
A maiden? I have a life of my own for f**k sake.
“No, I refuse. I have a life of my own. You don't just get to decide for people like that.” I retorted.
The whole hall gasped in awe. It was a rare occasion for an Omega to defy an Alpha. There were murmurs everywhere.
“Silence! And what makes you think that you are so special that you can't become a maiden?” Roman snapped back, getting up from where he was seated and motioning towards me.
“I can't because I know my worth and my value. I'm more than a maiden,”
It was one hell of a back forth between the both of us.
“Fine, you may leave.” Roman finally succumbed much to the disbelief of his entourage.
I left the mansion and retreated to my place but I couldn't shake this strange feeling I was getting. I felt so drawn to him.
It's nothing I can't handle. Time to get back to business.
I changed into my corporate wear, hopped into my car and made my way to my workplace. I am an independent woman, I currently hold a managerial position in a corporate firm just on the outskirts of town.
Do you see why it'd be a slap on the face to become a maiden in that jerk's mansion.
I greeted the security guards at the entrance of the company and walked right into my office.
Five minutes into work, images of Roman's red eyes and perfect jawline that complimented his muscular structure began to play in my head.
What's this feeling? It's like I can't do without him. Oh goodness, I want him so bad. My pheromones filled the room in an instant.
“Ma’am, ma’am, ma’am!” Alissa, my secretary, called me back to reality. My hands trembled and scrambled all over the table, it took a while before I could gather myself together.
I feel so embarrassed.
“Uhm, how long have you been standing there?” I asked.
“Not long ma'am, is everything okay?” She questioned, furrowing her brow curiously.
“Yeah sure.” I responded.
“I just wanted to drop these files, they came in yesterday.” She dropped a heap of files on my desk and patted me on the back before leaving my office.
What the hell did this guy do to me? Why am I craving his touch so much? I need to get close to him or else I'm going to lose it.
