Anne's pov.
"Damn"
I blurted out staring at his bare chest,I was lost at the very sight. Chiseled and strong, Defined muscles ripple beneath his skin, like the gentle waves of a summer lake. His pectorals are firm and well-developed, forming a broad and powerful silhouette. A subtle dusting of chest hair adds a hint of rugged charm,oh I salivated as his charm brought my eye to the sharp definition of his abs. His skin is smooth and sun-kissed, with a warm golden glow that invites the touch. As he moves, his chest muscles flex and relax, a testament to his strength and virility. His chest is a true marvel of male beauty, a sight to behold and admire.
"Anne!! Did you come to disturb my evening just to stand there and stare?" Alpha Jackson's stern voice slapped me back to reality.
My heart dropped as I gulped down the river of saliva that was stored in my mouth,it seemed like I forgot to swallow but this pool of saliva was nothing compared to the lake which had gathered down there.
"Em, sir ,I'm sorry. I I must have lost myself for a second."I apologized immediately.
"Sir I'm here to apologize for what happened earlier today at lunch.I'm sorry."
"What would your silly apologies amend. Would it rewind time?will it get David new clothes?" Alpha Jackson snapped at me .
I bowed my head in shame anticipating his next words.
"Come here."
He said in a low seductive tone,chills ran through my spine.
"Take of your clothes."
"He abruptly said. I was taken aback, wondering what he was getting at. Despite his previous rejection, his words sent a mix of emotions swirling through my mind - surprise, shock, discomfort, and yet, a thrill of excitement. My inner wolf was jumping for joy, repeating
'He wants me!'
But I was confused, unsure what to make of his contradictory behavior. 'Sir!' I responded, trying to process what was happening. His reply was firm, '
"Are you questioning me? Take off your darn clothes!"
Bubbles in my belly,It was a rather rude order but I was over joyed.
"Alpha Jackson you didn't tell me you had an attraction for my body,I know the mate bond is strong and all but you should have notified me about your plans."
I let out as I blushed deep red, my face burning with embarrassment, as I nervously tucked my hair behind my ear and fidgeted with my legs, folding them anxiously beneath me. My body language betrayed my excitement, revealing my true feelings despite my attempts to conceal them.
"What the hell do you think your doing. An attraction for your body? the mate bond? you must be deranged."
'Ouch'
My heart splintered as the Alpha's harsh words pierced through me,my eyes once beaming with excitement, now dropped in sorrow, as if all joy had been extinguished. Despite my previous enthusiasm, my heart felt shattered, the fragile pieces of my soul crumbling once more. Meanwhile, my wolf, confused by the sudden turn of events, tried to console me, insisting that the Alpha's words were not meant to hurt me so deeply.
"Sir?"
I enquired on what he might mean by all this,maybe just maybe my wolf was right .
"Oh Anne, my lovely mate did I hurt you? Come closer, come in for a hug."
My eyes lit up a little, widening in excitement but with a rather unsettling feeling,those words the Alpha said to me sounded nice but made me feel uneasy,those were definitely not what Alpha Jackson would say.
"Hahaha funny, was that what you wanted me to say! You must be joking. You said you wanted to pay for David's clothes and you obviously have nothing to pay back with,so I granted you the mercy of an eye for an eye."
"An eye for an eye?" I asked bewildered .
"Yes, you ruined his clothes so I take your clothes too but I'm suddenly not in the mood for that any longer,my mercy has expired. I will think of what to do to you or I might end up not doing anything to you."
"Sir?"I asked, my eyes wide in shock.'He is going to let it go after all that's happened this evening?'
"Or would you prefer a punishment?" His brow arched upwards, a sign of his growing impatience.
"No, sir. Thank you, sir. And I'm sorry for all that happened this evening, I should know my place." I apologised, my face burning in shame and head hung in embarrassment.
"You may leave."He said with a light shooing motion.
"Goodnight sir."
I uttered as I left his room. Worst evening ever, I felt like I could cry a river. My wolf gloomy, hid in itself as I carried our miserable self to our room.
'I guess love is not for everyone.'
I laid on my bed like a lifeless teenage whose heart had just been broken, Staring at the ceiling and my mind wandered back to my parents, it felt like I wasn't wanted in this world any longer,My parents are dead and my mate does not even want me. what could be worse than this?
I felt overwhelmed and tight on the inside,so I took a walk outside to breathe in some fresh air and calm my mind. I needed a moment to clear my head.
I sat on the empty field by the side of the building. The subtle breeze gracing my skin and hair flying over my shoulder gave a relaxing feeling,the starlight complementing the moon was a sight to admire.
'hhhh, ahh'
I breathed in this feeling and exhaled my problems then I felt myself come alive, it was time to go sleep. I got up to leave when I heard a noise from the back ,that was the guards quarters. I looked expecting it to be guard but to my greatest surprise it was a lady ,she looked alot like the alpha's plaything but what would she be doing at the guards quarters by this time? and why is she sneaking out ?
I stood staring,narrowing my eyes to identify who she may be when the guard she was with shouted 'who is there' I hid immediately praying I wasn't seen.
After a while the lady embraced the guard and departed. A smirk appeared on my face delighting in this juicy gossip, 'The Alpha's plaything is cheating on the Alpha!' I let out with a grin to my chin, what a great news!.
