"Alpha, she is a whore, you should not stain your image by carrying her. Bring her here so she can be taken in," he quickly said, moving close to retrieve Angel in his hands, but not forgetting to spoil her image.
"You didn't ask if she was alright first, but what? She is a whore? You dare call my mate a whore?" For an unknown reason, the urge to protect and possess her came over him and he was tempted to strangle Alpha Jason to death. How dare he call his mate a whore with that bloody mouth?
"Alpha!" Terrified, Alpha Jason exclaimed, not expecting that announcement. Angel was his mate?
It was obvious that his men were shocked too, but they were trained to never reveal their emotions so they didn't act surprised.
Phillip had so many questions to ask, but as a professional beta, he could do that later.
"The meeting ends here, I will be taking my mate back!" He ordered, his aura dominating over the atmosphere, that made Alpha Jason submit to him. The power he was emanating was enough to swallow him whole, so he retreated.
His greatest fear was beginning to manifest, Angel was going to haunt him.
"Beta Phillips, start the car." Fernando ordered and started walking away, with Angel securely wrapped in his hands.
Just staring at her bruised face ignited an anger in him, he wanted to unleash it, but he didn't want to part from her.
Entering the car, he made her sit in his laps and wrapped the blanket properly around her before they zoomed off.
Looking back at Alpha Jason's pack,, he swore to get back at him for treating his mate like this. He knew it was the mate pull that was responsible for the emotions, but a woman shouldn't be physically abused. That was what killed his mother and he wouldn't let anyone else die from it.
"Should we take a stop?" Phillip asked, seeing how darker things were getting.
"No, do not stop until we reach our pack." Still staring at Angel, he instructed but Phillip hesitated.
"What of her?" He asked, concerned about the wom..he meant the mate in Fernando's hand.
"I said do not stop," raising his head, Fernando ordered and Phillip didn't insist anymore.
Frustrated, Fernando ran his hands through his hair, his hands clenched into fists as he pondered more on how much she had suffered in that pack. And he also called her a whore, he was way worse than those jerks.
Phillip gazed at Fernando through the front mirror, and knew he was struggling with the new change, so he decided to give him some time to cool off.
Few hours later, they got to the pack but it was already past midnight and people were asleep, so no one welcomed them except for some guards working at night. Fernando didn't want anyone to see his mate in this manner, so he wasn't displeased with the welcome.
Getting out of the car, he looked at Phillip and commanded, "Get her maids tomorrow morning and bring her to my study room once she is done."
"Yes Alpha," Phillips replied.
The following morning, everywhere had returned to being noisy again, maids went about their daily routines, and people living in the pack house got ready for the day. Since hearing that the Alpha was back, everyone had turned serious.
In a particular room, a slim lady had already woken up and she was staring dumbfounded at her surroundings, wondering what happened after she fell. She only recalled slipping and a black wolf catching her, but everything after that was blank. And who was that weird man? Could he be one of the guards her father placed on her? Then she must have been moved to a different room in this disgusting pack.
Sighing, she was about to go back to bed when the door creaked open, revealing several maids.
"Miss, Good morning!" In chorus, they all greeted, shocking her. This was unusual, the lowest maid in her father's pack had no respect for her, they wouldn't greet her like this.
"We would help you get ready before you meet the Alpha," one of the maids added.
Speechless, Angel just stared at them, thinking she was in a dream until they moved to pick her up, and she felt their touch.
It was real?!!!!!!
They got Angel ready for the day and escorted her to Alpha Fernando's study room as instructed.
"Wait, can someone at least tell me where I am?" Before they could shut the door, she asked but they only replied to her with a smile, and jammed the door after her.
"You are in my pack," a deep distant voice said, jolting her. Scared, she turned to face the sound and glued her back against the wall, her chest heaving up and down.
"Who are you?" The room was bright and she could see clearly, but there was no one in it which was beginning to creep her out.
"Some people call me Alpha Fernando, while some call me Head of the Alphas," the voice replied and a large figure revealed itself from behind a large curtain.
"You!" She mouthed, remembering the weird man that made her cry just before she fell yesterday.
Walking up to her, his strides were graceful and his calm expression only made her heart flutter. Weirdly, she could perceive his manly scent from where she was. It smelt like freshly baked bread mixed with black coffee, it was a smell she loved the most.
What was wrong with the sudden scent awareness?
"Why are you doing this?" She asked, waking herself out of her dirty thoughts.
The more Fernando moved closer to her, the more the mate pulled him in. He wished to sink his fangs into her neck and mark her, while he rode inside of her ferociously, claiming her completely.
He could not promise not getting her in his bed in due time, but he could promise not letting the mate pull force him into falling in love with her.
"I want you to be the mother of my children,"
