Chapter 8
She raised her head after wearing my jacket, and those eyes fell on me, her pretty pair of blue eyes shimmering with tears.
“So you will kill me?” She asked, drying her eyes with the back of her palm, and then it was as if she just remembered what I did, as she asked abruptly.
“Why did you offer me your jacket? You noticed I was ashamed? Wait, did you just act tenderly towards me?” She asked all these questions with so much surprise on her face as she peered at me, like she was checking if it was still me standing there or someone else.
Her questions actually left me speechless, my head blank, and I couldn’t find any words to say to her. Her facial expressions were just getting more appealing in my eyes, and she was just appearing so beautiful and s e x y to me.
There was absolutely no reason for me to give her my jacket if it was not me being tender, so she was right. The Mate bond was the cause of all this, but no one would expect me to fall for it so easily.
This was never my intention about mates. I planned to reject whoever it was immediately because I wasn’t ready to become a softhearted man for anyone.
But it just seemed like I wasn’t in control of my senses anymore. I can’t even understand my actions, and it all seems as if I was under an unknown spell.
For f uc k i n g sake, why did I care that my men were ogling her? Why did I tell her we had something to talk about? What was that excitement when she said she was rejected by her first mate, simply because I didn’t want to share her with any other mate from the wolf packs?
“You said we have something to talk about. What is that? I’m scared. I don’t want you to reject it and harm me.” She muttered meekly, still fixing her gaze on me.
She looked really hopeless and sad, leaving me wondering why and how Alpha’s daughter turned out this way. I was like her hope of life, and she badly wanted to be in my arms.
All I could see in her eyes was her desire to be loved and protected. She felt disappointed seeing 1 was her mate, afraid I wouldn’t only reject her but harm her, and the fact that I was already on the verge of killing her before I felt the sparks from touching her.
We find our mates through scents, then confirm it when we touch them. This young girl here emitted no scent, but there was no way I would deny her being my mate after the touch of our skin.
The feelings were really magical-out of this world. I felt it deep in my soul, and these feelings came with a change in my entire senses as she was now like an angel in my eyes.
I badly want to be with her alone, talk to her, and spend enough time with her. I want to hear her pain and know the list of everyone causing her pain, then make them suffer terribly for it. I badly want to fulfill that desire to be loved and protected, which she had, and put smiles on her face.
She was the Alpha’s daughter, but now she looks like a mere omega. I want to know why her father would do this to her.
I quickly turned to my guards. “Go arrange a hotel room for us. She is my mate, so her death shouldn’t be done in the forest, I shrugged, and she flinched at my statement.
“You are still going to kill me?” She asked under her breath, and I shifted my gaze back to her.
“Do you expect me to accept you? I don’t entertain mates and these s t u p i d emotions!” I huffed, trying hard to sound harsh.
I simply wanted to spend the night with her, but at the same time, I wanted to make sure my men never realized I had fallen

for the mate bond and find out that I had a gotten a weakness.
They all dreaded me because I was a powerful, dangerous man with no weakness or trace of softness in the heart. I won’t allow them to realize that this young girl here has already changed me at first sight.
They saw me offer the jacket and must have thought I was now in love, so I had to use that statement to change their speculation.
A few minutes later, they returned to inform me that the hotel was ready, I turned to my pretty mate and made a step towards her, but she retracted, scared of me, as her eyes filled up with tears,
“Please don’t kill me. You can reject me too, but spare my life; I beg of you.” She cried out while I swallowed hard, trying to hide my emotions.
How would she think I could hurt her? She must have really read a lot of horrific stories written about me. She might be right that I am someone with no heart, but right now, she is the only girl I want to take care of and kill anyone who tries to
hurt her.
Her body was becoming really irresistible to me. I was craving her touch and the feeling of being inside her.
“Don’t stress out, master.” One of my men shouted and rushed at her, gripped her and dragged her to me while she struggled fruitlessly to be freed.
I got hold of her hand, and those feelings washed through me again.
“Please don’t….
“I can’t hurt you.” I whispered, shaking my head as I squeezed her palm in mine softly, feeling the soft texture.
She became calm, her eyes contorting into a mask of shock and confusion.
u won’t?”
“You
“Yes, I won’t. I was just bluffing. Please follow me.” I found myself saying to her and couldn’t even recognize my voice. They were unusually calm and lovely. I was literally becoming the man I wished never to be.
“So you won’t kill me in the hotel?” She asked again in a low tone.
“Stop talking; let’s leave their presence.” I hushed, taking her hand as we followed my men to the hotel they had arranged.
“Just a one-night stand won’t change anything. We will go our different ways and never meet each other again after that. I will forget her and never visit this pack. It will be over after this night.” I thought to myself, reassuring every part of me that it was just lust and nothing else.
“To hell with the mate bond; it will only save her from being killed, but if we ever cross paths again, I won’t hesitate to end her life immediately.” I said to myself again, closing my eyes for a moment as I took a deep breath, trying to feel that assurance inside me that all I was saying to myself was true.
It just doesn’t seem so. It was like heaven holding her hands and walking through the silent, chilling night, with the moon glowing up there and the breeze hitting our skin.
I just don’t know why I want to spend this night with her, but I knew that was the only thing I desperately needed. The urge was something I had never felt before. I am literally craving every part of her.
my
All my men were in front of us, leading the way while we followed from behind, so they couldn’t see how I was rubbing her palm locked with mine.
At that moment, I couldn’t even remember who I was or the vow I made to never give love a chance. All that had
disappeared from my head as I savored this sweet moment with a girl I would have killed not long ago.
“You are the Alpha’s daughter from your normal scent, yet you look like a s l a v e in your father’s land. Is that how princesses are treated in the wolf pack?” I asked without looking at her.
“Do you care about me?” She answered my question with a question, something that I seriously hate and could easily kill many for, especially when the question diverts from my own.
Yet, this young girl just did it, and I was still feeling no glimmer of anger.
“Do you think I care about you?” I chuckled deeply.
“Should I feel lucky to be your mate? Because it just saved me from being killed by you.” She gasped, and I glimpsed at her to see she had a pretty smile adorning her face. It was so contagious that I found myself almost smiling back.
I didn’y anything, not because I had nothing to say but because I couldn’t find the courage to spill it all. I knew at that
moment that I was not using my right senses.
We got to the hotel, which was entirely empty because of the curfew. The hotel was closed, and it was only opened for me and my mate.
“Why are you bringing me here? What do you want us to discuss? And the way you’re holding my hand is really cool. It feels like a dream.”
I still couldn’t say anything till we got to the room, which was well furnished and bright with fluorescent lights.
“What is your name?” I asked her as she sat on the bed, facing me.
“Selene.” She answered, looking up at me so cutely and innocently with a charming smile. Honestly, this girl is really beautiful.
Selene’s POV
“Why were you outside when I ordered a curfew? Tell me everything in detail. I know you won’t intentionally disobey me. Tell me who tricked you, their names are what I want.” He asked with a mean tone, walking over to the bar at the corner and picking out a bottle of whiskey and cups.
“Do you take alcohol?” He asked, dropping them on the table.
“No, I don’t, but I will love to. My heart is broken, and life just feels useless to me. It’s just like I was born by mistake. The world just doesn’t need my existence. I sighed, exhaling heavily.
“You were rejected by your mate, and I was given your second chance. Wow, it’s really funny?” He scoffed. “Am I not worse than your first mate?”
His tone changed at the last question. He was asking a question that he really needed an answer to.
“I am the worst person anyone can have as a mate, I know. You don’t have to tell me.” He chuckled deeply, filling his cup and
mine.
“You are not wrong, but why do you seem to change all of a sudden? You are calm now. Am I the reason? So it’s real. I am your mate, and the mate bond made you soft towards me.” I gasped, standing to my feet as I covered my m*uth with my palm, grinning from ear to ear.
The next second, before I could know what was happening, he pressed me against the wall, his intoxicating cologne overwhelming me and those piercing eyes making my breath hitch.
Time seemed to freeze as every p
part of me went limp and melted under his aura. I watched as he leaned closer, and my eyes
