Sold To The Ruthless Alpha

Damien’s POV

There is so much I need to know about Sofi, like, why was she sneaking out of school with her friends and where do they end up going to whenever they sneak out.

Besides, I noticed the change in her mood when I stopped her from going back inside to pick up her leftovers. She tried to hide it but I saw through her fake smile, I knew she wasn’t happy with me but she doesn’t want to say or do anything that might offend me.

I held her hand and led her down the stairs, thinking of different ways to make her feel comfortable before me. We were almost at the foot of the stairs when that bitch Stacy purposely bumped into my Luna, almost making her fall down on her ass. I caught her just in time, stopping her from tripping and rolling down the stairs.

“Watch it, Stacy,” I yelled at her, after making sure Sofi was ok.

“You did that on purpose, didn’t you? What the hell is wrong with you.” She is my mate, your Luna, and you dare try to hurt her?” I scolded her through our mind link, releasing my aura to suppress her resistance, making her bow her head and bare her neck in respect.

“Am sorry Alpha, it was a mistake,” she responded through the link with her head still bowed.

“Apologize Stacy. Right now!” I ordered in annoyance. She fucking did it on purpose and she stands here before me, lying through her teeth. What does she take me for, an idiot? I saw it happen right and she still thinks she can lie to me?

She apologized immediately, but I know better than to fall for her lies. She only said she was sorry because I ordered her to. I know she ain’t sorry. She is a jealous, spiteful bitch and I’ll put her in her place pretty soon.

After her apology, I led Sofi out of the exit, but I could still feel the negative aura seeping out of Stacy in great waves. I turned around and caught her staring at us with seething rage. She looks so furious and I know she is going to try to hurt Sofi again, so I mind linked Ralph immediately,

“Pick Stacy up immediately, Ralph. I want her punished for trying to hurt my mate. I warned her to stay away from us already but it seems she ain’t taking me seriously because of my past relationship with her.

Get some warriors and pick her up at the packhouse, make sure she knows that I meant every fucking word, when I said that it was over between us.” I told him through our mind link.

“So, you mean, I should tell, no not tell, warn your ex-girlfriend, the same girl you wanted to spend the night with just yesterday, I should warn her not to hurt your hurt your soulmate, huh?” he said mockingly, getting me more infuriated by his stupid choice of word.

I swear if I wasn’t with Sofia right now, I would have searched him out and punched him in the fucking face. He can so damn annoying when he wants to. I love his jokes sometimes but now isn’t the time to joke around, not when my mate is being threatened.

“Don’t fuck with me Ralph I have no time for your stupid jokes. That bitch is so fucking crazy. She would have tripped Sofia and sent her rolling down the rest of the stairs if I wasn’t fast enough to catch her before she falls.

Need I remind you that Sofia is only human, a fall like that would hurt her greatly. If that happens I’ll fucking kill that bitch!

Get her Ralph, make her stop, right now!” I ordered furiously, before breaking our connection, ending the conversation before he could say something that would annoy me more than I already am.

I can’t let them spoil my mood today, I want to be on my best behavior in front of Sofi. I am trying to win her heart and get her to feel our bond and fall in love with me, I would never achieve that if she sees me being ruthless and mean to my people, she needs to know that I can be cool and caring also.

We were walking down the road that would take us deeper into my territory. As one of the richest packs in this country, my pack is built and designed to look like a modern city. There is a deep forest surrounding us to prevent outsiders from encroaching into our territory and to give us enough space to shift and run for as long as we want to.

All the houses in my pack were planned and carefully designed to give it an enchanting and alluring look that captivates the mind at first glance. To make it more endearing, we have everything that you could ever need, right here in our little city.

I mean, instead of letting my people to go out there and risk getting exposed, why not give them everything they need, right here in our pack. Don’t get me wrong, they can certainly go to the big city if they choose to, but we still have everything you can get in the big city, right here, besides anything you can’t find here can be ordered online and that reduces the risk of outsiders finding out the truth about us.

It’s already past ten. I didn’t take any of the cars, I only permitted two security guards to come along with us. They followed at a safe distance, of course, giving us enough privacy to talk about anything we want to.

As we walked along the busy street, we attracted the attention of everyone from my pack. Because of my earlier warning that they should not expose our identity to my mate, they couldn’t come too close to us, neither did they address me as their Alpha, they simply said some warm greetings to us and went about their duties, ignoring us completely.

“They seem to like you very much” Sofi commented with a warm smile and I can see a little blush on her face. I guess she got a little overwhelmed by all the attention they gave us.

“Me?

Oh come on my love, stop being modest, you’re making me jealous. We both know that they are saying those warm greetings to you and not me.” I responded teasingly, making her giggle softly, with her eyes gleaming in the morning sun.

She looks so beautiful and breathtaking, so damn perfect. I can’t believe that she was hiding all this beauty under a veil, am so damn lucky to have her.

“They don’t even know me, it’s all for you. They must see you as an emperor or a king of some sort sir,” she said with a warm smile that soon disappeared when she noticed the frown on my face. She immediately realized her mistake and corrected herself with a small smile on her face, blushing so deeply as she said,

“Am sorry Damien, I’ll remember to use your name next time.” She said so shyly with her face down, trying to hide her blush from me. Hearing her mention my name was so damn arousing. I pulled her into my arms and leaned down to capture her mouth in mine, kissing her softly.

“That’s better, my pet. I love the sound of my name, coming from you, It sounds so hot, I love it. Now, back to our conversation, love, you are right, I am some sort of a ruler here. They are all my people and I rule over them,” I explained to her, trying my best to tell her my position without exposing our identity to her. It’s not yet time to tell her our secret.

I noticed her creased brows that signifies that she is deep in thought, I guess she is trying to understand what I just said.

“Are you their king?” she blurted out curiously, with her eye as wide as saucers. I chuckled at her shocked expression, she looked so cute and adorable. I couldn’t help leaning down to steal a kiss.

“Yes, my love, I am seen as a king here. Would you like to rule by my side Sofia, would you be my queen?” I asked teasingly, causing her to giggle loudly. Her laughter sounded like music to my ears, making me love her even more, if that is even possible.

Should I tell her that she is already seen as a queen here?

Nahhh… Not yet.

I held her hand and led her on, taking her to the Amusement Park that is located on the outskirts of the town, booking a ride on the Ferris wheel. Damn!

Sofia is so scared of heights. She screamed at the top of her lungs, hugging me like her life depended on it. I couldn’t hold it in, I burst into a fit of laughter as I put my hand around her shoulder, basking in her sweet scent of rose and lavender, enjoying the peace and calm that envelops me whenever I catch a whiff of her beautiful scent. Her presence in my life has put my mind at ease, giving me peace of mind.

“That was so scary, I nearly threw up everything in my stomach.” she commented when we got down from our joy ride.

“You know you should be afraid of anything when I am right here with you. I can protect you from every danger, you know that right?

I would never let you get hurt, not when I am still alive and breathing.” I assured her, speaking sincerely from my heart.

I could see her eyeing the Carousel Horse ride. I think she has a thing for horses, just like I do. She wants to go on the Horse ride but she is feeling shy about asking for it. I ignored the desires I saw in her eyes, I was stalling and waiting for her to ask for it.

No, I am not punishing her, I only want her to be able to speak freely with me. I took her to the artificial ice skating ring, watching her laugh her heart out as she falls over and over again while trying to learn how to skate.

Gosh, it was so hilarious to watch her being herself, having so much fun with less shyness and fear. I walked her back to the ice cream shop where we both ordered a mixture of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. It was shocking, yet exciting that we both preferred the same mixture of ice cream and if am not mistaken, we also share a fondness for horse riding.

We strolled in the park, checking out the different fun games as we munched on our ice cream. I intentionally took her along the path where they have the Carousel Horse Ride, watching as her eyes brightened in excitement when she set eyes on them again, but she still hid her feelings, acting all cool and reserved.

“You can tell me if you want to go on the Horse ride, you know. I brought you out to make you loosen up and be free with me Sofia, I can tell that you want to go on the horse ride, it’s so obvious from the way your eyes brighten up.

Come on my love, tell me anything you need, am not a monster, I don’t bite, except like this,?” I whispered calmly, leaning forward to take her earlobe between my teeth, giving her a gentle love bite. She moaned at the sensational feeling, leaning her head to the side to grant me more access to her ear.

“Tell me what you want, want my love.” I whispered softly, putting my hands around her waist, forcing her to look up at me.

“I.. Mmm, I… I would like to go on the horse ride.” She let out amidst her soft moans of pleasure as I kissed her ear while whispering to her.

“You like horses?” I asked her and she responded with a nod of her head, making me smile brightly as I realized that I was right when I said we shared a fondness for horses.

“What do you say, we head back to my barn and ride on real horses, can you handle that?” I teased jokingly.

She responded with a bright smile as she nodded her head eagerly, her face was filled with joy and laughter, like a kid on Christmas morning.
