Alphas mated to a human

Chapter 8- The unforgettable ball

(Unknown POV)

I hate parties. I hate Alpha Marks’ parties. They always suck; music sucks, drinks sucks and Alpha Mark is just a pompous i***t who knows nothing but beating people to a pulp. Although there have been whispers of him finding his mate, why the moon goddess gave him a mate I will never know, I feel sorry for the lass. I have heard rumors that she is beautiful and quite the fighter but Alpha Mark is controlling her every move to make sure that she stays by his side. I don’t know whether the girl is there willingly or not but I don’t care.

I sigh heavily, I cannot believe I am being made to go to this ball. As Alpha of the Medway territory it is my duty to attend the annual Alpha ball but never has Alpha Mark held it. This year though he offered to hold it, claiming that his human mate does not want to leave the territory but he wants her to experience the ball, the elders believed his obvious lie and agreed to let Alpha Mark hold the ball at his pack house. There is something going there with Alpha Mark and his mate, something just does not add up- the way he controls her, how she is never seen without him and how he talks for her.

I grab my tuxedo and shove it into my suitcase, heading down stairs and place it into the boot of my Jaguar. My beta and his mate meet me soon after and place theirs in the boot alongside mine. We all then pile in and head off to Alpha Marks’ territory, all of us nervous that this is some form of trap that we are walking into.

********************************************

I walk into the ballroom, followed closely by my beta and his mate. We head to Alpha Mark to make him aware of our presence before we head to the drinks table. As we walk to Alpha Mark the scent of blue raspberries hits my nose, Mate! Mate! Mate! Allister starts to chant in my head. My head whips around trying to locate the scent, but then I realize that it is coming from the direction of Alpha Mark. At first I think that he might be my mate but then I notice the sides of the bottom of a ball gown dress appearing from behind him and that the girl behind him is my mate.

Allister fights for control, what is mate doing with Mark? And why does she have a collar on her neck?

I take a step forward, forcing my eyes to go to Alpha Mark, I put on a fake smile and shake hands with him.

“How are you Alpha? Hope you’re not too inconvenienced to come all the way here for the party this year?” Alpha Mark smirks. Goddess I hate this man.

“Of course not Alpha, it’s my pleasure, especially to meet your mate who I see is not in attendance. I do hope everything is ok with her?” I ask, curious as to why his mate is not by his side. Maybe he decided that he did not want her here, or he is a big liar.

Alpha Mark then pulls forward the girl by her choker. “Here she is. Well say hello to the visiting Alpha, kitten”

I watch in horror as he forces the girl to kneel in front of me.

“Good evening Alpha, I do hope you have a wonderful evening.”

What the f**k?! Alpha how can Mark do that to her? I know she is human but that is horrible. My beta mind links me. I discreetly now my head, knowing that my beta would see the nod but Alpha Mark would not.

I pull the girl up to her feet, “Thank you Luna but please do not bow. I am Alpha Johnny, it is a pleasure to meet you” I reply while bowing. I then stand up and it is then that our eyes meet.

MATE! Allister shouts and the world stops.

SLAP! I am brought back to my senses by the sound of a slap reverberating through the hall, I look around to find where it came from before I hear a small sob leave the girls’ mouth. It is then I notice a red mark across her face, Alpha Mark had slapped her.

“How dare you look at another Alpha? You, a human! You cannot do that, apologize now!” Alpha Mark screams at her.

I quickly step forward and grab her, pulling her close to me while sniffing her hair. The smell of blue raspberries invading my senses again. “There is no need to apologize princess. You did nothing wrong. Alpha Mark, the fault is entirely my own.” I respond, trying to protect the girl.

“I don’t care Alpha Johnny, she needs to be punished.” Alpha Mark then grabs her from me, marches her towards their chairs and then I watch in horror at what he does next.

**** Contains abuse ****

(Alpha Marks’ POV)

I am fuming, I will show these people who they are dealing with and whose mate she is. I rip the front of Vals dress, exposing her bra and the tops of her breasts. There are gasps of horror around the room for what I have just done, while Val just looks down at the floor, good that means that she is learning. I make Val kneel in front of our chairs, showing her and everyone the power I hold. I get two warriors to hold Alex back as I slap and kick his sister for a few minutes until me rage subsides.

“This b***h is mine! My Mate! My Property! Mine to do with as I please! If anyone so much as tries to help her I will not only punish them but her also” I growl in my alpha tone. I then pull Val from the ball, my hand never leaving her collar. I notice that my hand is getting wet and realize that she is crying. But at the moment I do not care, someone had threatened to take her from me, I saw how she looked at Alpha Johnny and I could not allow him to take her so I had to remind her of her place and show my dominance to everyone else.

She is mine.

I own her.

I want her.

I love her.
