The Alpha's Contractual Human Mate

Game and Plan

“What the hell", I murmured in the air holding my chest. "Don't startle me like that!" I shouted at him. Killing in my eyes.

"Let's go back to the mansion." He coldly replied. I looked at him and winced. "Danica hasn't even caught me yet. We are still having a game.” I insisted to my bodyguard. He looked at me dead serious without blinking. I rolled my eyes at him and walked away but before I could get away, he dragged my arms into a huge tree. I was about to ask him why he did that when he put his fingertip on my mouth, signaling me to be silent. I did what he gestured and felt around. I heard the bushes sway violently from the air followed by footsteps running around.

Danica. I mentally murmured holding my breath once again. I looked at my partner who was standing in front and observing the surroundings.

“She can smell me.” I whispered to him but he acted like I wasn't existed nor spoke to him.

“You have no scent.” He replied nonchalantly. I raised my eyebrows at him and smelled my own body. "What do you mean? I can still smell myself.” I asked confused.

"Shh." He hissed. I just focused my gaze around and carefully observing the whole place.

"Let's go." He grabbed my wrist once again and dragged me away from the woods. We walked a few minutes to go out of the pile of woods in the forest.

"What now?" I angrily snatched away my wrist and he let go of it. I touched and caressed my arms and looked angrily at him. He seemed to be mindlinking someone as his eyes glowed white.

My brain worked again at that time, I decided to escape from him. I walked without a sound and lifted my body to be light as a feather walking away from him. I felt someone hold my wrist once again and dragged me from the spot he left me then we started walking forward in the direction of the mansion.

"How about Danica and Derah?! We can't leave them there without telling them that we are already here!” I snapped but he didn't give any reaction. He's still moving his feet until my feet felt tired and numb from all the walking and running I've done this day. My body is still aching all over and I can't deny that I am feeling exhausted.

“Where are you going to bring me?” I started to oppose his strength but it didn't even change a bit of his pace until he stopped in front of a door. I looked at him with an expression that what we are doing here?! look. He didn't answered, instead he knocked three times and opened the door. He didn't move to enter, instead he pushed me inside. My mouth automatically formed a small scream out of surprise but I immidiately stopped and was glued in my shoes inside. Dion was here and he doesn't seem in his best mood. He took a glance at me and bring back his sight to his table full of papers and I can't name the things.

“Lock the door.” He commanded to me which I followed immidiately. My hands shakingky found the door knob and pushed the small button to lock it.

"Why did you send me here?" I remained standing at my place while swallowing the lump in my throat. I can't still process the pain and questions that started to cloud my mind about what happened last night. I wanted to ask him about it but my mouth can't bring up the topic.

“You should be more careful. Danger are all around you yet my father allowed that friend of yours to train you in the woods!” Dion angrily muttered while still focusing his eyes in the paper. “You were nearly shot by an arrow earlier yet YOUR FRIEND still decided to continue her s**t training.”

“Don't call it s**t! Atleast she's trying to help me get out of that damn library! Atelast she's making my stay here fun!” I bursted out raising my voice at him. This time, he looked up at me and his eyes are burning in rage. “And you already have a mate why not let me go and bring me back in my home. In my usual home.” I stared at him with determination.

“You aren't sure of her loyalty and we already talked about the mate thing. You are binded in me through our promises and oath we made. You can't break it.” He shook his head without taking his eyes on me, his jaw tightening in anger but I didn't care.

Anger fueled my whole system too after questioning Danica's loyalty and capability. I felt my ears burning. “Don't question her loyalty because she's my friend since I lived in the city.” I moved my feet forward and stomped it loudly. “We know each other longer than you are—” I slammed the table in front of him but he remained looking at me with still expression. “so don't try picking with her.”

“That's enough. I don't want to fight over those things.” He finally calmly stated while arranging his papers and features me to sit.

“What now?!” I rolled my eyes and still acted angry on him.

“I know you heard what my real mate is planning”, he problematically stated. His voice is calm yet sounded like stressed.

“So what are you implying? I'm already out of that shits.” I shook my head while leaning on the chair.

“She's planning to ruin you and me.”

“Isn't that's what you wanted? To ruin your name so you couldn't be the next Alpha of this pack?” I asked. He swallowed hardly while closing his eyes longer than intended.

“They are planning more than that and I am afraid that my father wouldn't be able to control the situation.”

“And you can? Why not give this thing about us and accept the throne.”

“We already talked about this.” He hissed, forcing himself to control himself.

“Then directly tell me your plan! You are eating too much time by your introductions and such things.”

“We need to kill my mate. My real mate.” His voice echoed in my ears and then to my head. I felt my ears were blocked and clogged to the point that I heard it wrong. I looked at him surprised but his face is empty. No emotions left, all were hidden.

“We need a plan to take her down before she could do harm in my father's pack. I can't take the risk.”

“You can kill her when you are with her. This is murder, Dion. Please don't get me involved in this.” I begged him while shaking my head.

“I can't kill her.” He slowly and quitely confessed. “She's my true mate and it will kill me if I would be the one will end her life.”

“And who you wanted to move? Me?! Oh come on Dion, I made too much sacrifices and things I shouldn't. I haven't imagined in my entire life to end a life. My answer will be no and never.” I statedly sure of my ownself.

“Prepare yourself. They'll execute their plans in no time.” He reminded and I stopped talking.

I was walking back to my room when—

Those words…

It keeps replaying in my mind.

“We need to kill my mate”.
