Chapter 12 - A wolf's Yearning.

Jackson's POV.

'What's wrong with me? Why am I bothered by her rejection, Afterall I want nothing to do with her ' i thought to myself as I watched he'd her leave my room. This little wolf what has she done to me ? I definitely cannot have feelings for her, I must not have feelings for her, that's the only way for her to survive .

I was torn in-between two world , my heart and my mind. One saying one thing and the other saying another, I still yearned for her, even now I needed to see her face, I needed to feel her presence. I sure hope its not what I think it is, it's definitely just the mate bond, right?

I thought on what to use as an excuse in bringing her here, more like an order without showing off any emotion, I suddenly remembered she hadn't reported to me this morning because this morning had been quite hectic.

I picked up my phone and sent her a text, ordering her to report to me now, I needed to appear as the same rude, ruthless Alpha Jackson.

After sending her the text, my heart beat accelerated for some reason I couldn't identifY. She was just a rejected mate and a lowly maid, nothing special but why do I feel excited at the very thought of her .

""""Du Du""" ( A knock on the door)

Hearing the knock on the door my heart vibrated, "Come in" I commanded maintaining a firm nature.

"Alpha Jackson, you asked for me?" She is her shoulders slouching and her face gloomy, little Wolfie was sad. I wished I could comfort her but I cannot show affections to her in anyway

"I called!" I yelled at her "yeah! I did, because you were too stupid to realise that you hadn't done your job this morning or did you think because of whatever happened this morning you would automatically have a free day? Jokes." I sealed. With every harsh word that came out my mouth my heart hurt twice as much .

"Really! Jackson really?" She let out in pain, I could see the little gatherings of tears in her eyes " your mate was framed, treated badly for something she didn't do, yet you don't feel sorry for her in any way, instead you are bothered she wasn't working!" I could hear the hurt in her voice, she even called me by my name. why does her hurting brother me?

She went on and on lamenting in pain while I just stayed there doing nothing, just staring at her. Why do I suddenly feel interested in her feelings?

"You know what! Just forget whatever I said, I'm going to stop being delusional. I'm sorry for everything, I'm sorry for lazying about."Hearing her apology, my mind went silent, She had decided to stop being delusional. That was good, but something somewhere actually wanted her to continue in her delusion.

"Little Wolfie, watch your mouth. Why would I feel anything for you, As you addressed correctly 'A rejected mate' I threw at her "And yes! Stop being delusional." I ordered pointing to my laundry. " You can wash the clothes there, I'll allow it since I noticed you might need a little bit of me." My words filled with deceit, it posed arrogance but that was just a coverage for the yearning of my wolf

"I'd ike to go to the laundry room down stairs, that was the one made for us to handle. I'll be taking my leave, thanks for the offer Alpha Jackson." She replied face stern with no emotions.

"Wolfie." I called, "How are you?" I asked curious, maybe I was too hard on her .

"Alpha Jackson, there is no need you acting strange because of what I said earlier, like I said, forget about it. My emotions are too meaningless and ordinary for you to care about." She let out. "I'll take my leave" She said.

Her emotions, my emotions, my mind, they all scrambled up in my head, I felt frustrated. What was I doing? I questioned myself.

In thoughts I realised, why would she and I be facing all this when we were not the architect of this whole thing. She is broken 💔, my ego is hurt, I mean this life is give and take afterall.

I immediately placed a call across to my victim, "Jacob, report to now!" I ordered. He dared accuse my little wolf! He was going to pay darely.

I sat on my chair fuming in anger awaiting the entrance of Jacob, a million thought on ways he could be torn apart.

""'"Du Du"""" (A knock long awaited)

"Alpha, it is Jacob. May I come in?" He requested, "come in" I commanded.

"Greetings Alpha Jackson, you asked for me ." He introduced.

"Yes I did. Jacob, how well do you love your job?" I enquired

"I love my job so much sir." He replied.

"What were you doing when you saw the maid planting the voodoo doll?" I questioned. I could see his eyes narrow in confusion.

"Sir, I was doing my night patrol and then I saw her." He blurted quickly with confidence.

"Nice." I hailed "Jacob. Your tie is lovely." I whispered.

"Sir?" He questioned me, 'such bravery' I smirked.

"Come closer." I let out. He nodded as he came closer stopping at a 2 feet distance. That wasn't enough, I needed him closer for the attack I was going to launch on him. I beckoned him closer with the hand gesture .

As he moved closer, I rushed him , choking him by the neck. I pinned him to the wall, in anger. " Anything that concerns Maid Anne, be very careful, because the next time you try something like this on her will be the last time you ever try anything." I Growled

"Is that clear?" I questioned, my fist tightening, "yes Alpha." He struggled to say, barely breathing.

"Now get out." I threw at him as he fell to floor gasping for air.

"Jacob, don't you think you've added a little weight. Jog round this mansion for the whole day, no breaks allowed." I added, my voice calming. "Am I understood." I snapped, he needed to reply me.

"Ye..yes Alpha." He muttered. " Now leave my sight." I thundered

"By the way, your tie is lovely." I repeated.

"I'm sorry, Alpha Jackson." He mumbled running off. I stared at him as he ran off terrified, I felt relieved, a little.

I wanted to go see how Anne was doing in the laundry, so I headed to the laundry, Aproaching the laundry I attracted lots of attention. so i tried shushing the maids that saw me and wanted to greet, I didn't want anne noticing. I only wanted a peek of her.

Getting there, I could hear her chuckle, her voice made me smile. I went in closer to see her face but then the smile on my face turned into a frown, 'she was laughing and chuckling with David!' my mind exploded, what was he saying that excited her so much!

I'm supposed to be happy that she is smiling but I couldn't put a smile on my cheeks, my cheeks got literally stiff. 'I guess David was her source of happiness.' I dropped. Just when I was trying to accept that fact, I saw David go closer to her, tucking her hair behind her ears and just when I thought I had seen enough, Anne suddenly fell into his arms. It was outrageous, 'She is my mate, not his!' I sobbed. 'David must think he is prince charming.' I mumbled to myself.

With all this going through my head, Anne suddenly paused as she picked up my robe, she stared at it for a while when suddenly she charged towards the door. I panicked, Alpha Jackson panicked? Shocking.
