Trapped with the Alpha

She was shaking in the cold night. She had absolutely no idea what she was doing there or how she had gotten there to begin with. All she knew for certain was that she was starting to regret it and she cursed whatever unknown phenomenon had brought her to his presence.

Audrey watched her with cold eyes. His gaze was cool and leveled yet they held a finite reserve that was both scary and intoxicating. He hated her just as much as she hated it and their hatred for each other was one of those things out there that was probably part of the reason the earth rotated around its orbit peacefully.

Stephanie hated the way he was looking at her. She hated him more but his stare was worth winning top spot on her hatred list.

“Why am I here?” She asked with a grimace on her pretty face.

“How the fuck should I know?” He responded with a calm voice.

He hated being this cold detached person he was but he had come to terms with the fact that was all he could be, especially around her.

Stephanie would have gladly gone along with anyone being her mate but it just had to be this ungrateful bastard. She was sure her fate was forever ruined and there was no hope anymore of finding happiness in her life. She was doomed to live a sad life filled with regrets. Just like she was regretting not slapping him and walking away like she should.

“Stop looking at me that way.” She said furiously.

“What way?” He shrugged.

She was fed up with his dumb nonchalant persona. There was no one in the entire world that could ever be as annoying as he was. Not even if they were held at gunpoint and forced to be annoying.

“You’re looking at me like you can’t stand my presence.”

He chuckled. “What if I can’t stand it?”

“No skin off my chest because I can’t stand yours either.”

She checked her wristwatch again to see it had only been five minutes since her friends had locked them inside the wardrobe together. She sighed. They had twenty five minutes left to endure each other or luckily one of them killed the other. She knew he was no match for her under any circumstance. He was a wuss, she reminded herself.

“I can’t believe we are mated. I’d rather die or go rogue than be yours.” She said.

“I hate you just as much! You are so below me in every way.”

She snorted. “Everybody is below you. That’s because your head has always been in the clouds.

Audrey’s face went red with rage. Nobody had the courage to speak to him that way except for her and he found it infuriating. Who the fuck did she think she was.

She checked her watch again. They still had eighteen minutes left. She hoped the jerks outside the door hadn’t gotten bored and busied themselves with something else which would ultimately make them forget to open the door when it was time.

“There’s a way we can bring this little dance to an end.” Audrey said with a smirk on his face.

She didn’t trust him one bit yet she asked, “What?”

“I could reject you here and now.” He said with the smirk still in place.

“And you’re waiting for some sort of a referee’s whistle before you do so or what?”

He bit his lower lips holding down his fury. It was like they had locked him in with the devil himself masked as a gorgeous girl. His smirk had turned into a ugly grimace.

“I’ll reject you on one condition.”

“Go on.” She said impatiently.

“Make that two. Two conditions.”

The selfish bastard. She sighed. Stephanie tried her best to keep her tongue from going off in a way that might ruin her chances of getting him to reject her and set her free once and for all from the disappointment of being mated to her.

“Go ahead.” She sighed.

Audrey was enjoying this a bit. He decided he was going to take his time to do what he was about to do. Why rush things? She wanted him to reject her just as he wanted it too and he was going to give her what she wanted right after he made her suffer a little.

“Take your top off.” He said evenly.

She looked at him wide eyed. She couldn’t believe what he had just asked her to do. He had a lot of guts, she’d admit and he was obviously crazy thinking she was one of those cheap girls he could get to do anything for him and they would come running like obedient little lap dogs.

“You must be crazy. Get out of my face before I slap that smirk out of you for eternity.”

Audrey laughed at her reaction. He was really starting to enjoy this. He pulled closer to her, forcing her to move backwards as he invaded her space, driving her up against the wall. He was quick to step back in time before the hand she swung at him connected with his face.

“I said stay away. Are you deaf or just plain stupid!”

He stayed where he stood making sure to keep the distance between them. She was still trapped at the corner which was good enough for him but there was no telling what she would do if he dared make a move on her.

“Hear me out. They locked us in here so we could make out. That’s obviously not happening so why not try something along that line while we’re at it.” He shrugged. “Plus it will bring you one step closer to convincing me you’re actually serious about wanting me to reject you as my mate.”

She wanted to tell him to go to hell and while he was at it, he could fuck himself using hell coal or something. She wanted to tell him to jump off a bridge and drown like the rat he was. She wanted to tell him that was never going to happen because there was no way she was ever going to show her body to a despicable swine like him but her wolf told her it wasn’t the way to go about it. Her wolf tried to calm her down.

Audrey watched her as she thought silently. He could hear the machines turning inside her head as she struggled to make a decision. She looked at the time- they had ten minutes left. She had a ten minutes window that she absolutely needed to grab if she was to have any hope of being free from him forever.

Slowly, Stephanie’s hands moved to her buttons as she took them off one by one. Then she took off the shirt, letting it drop on the wardrobe floor. She stood there a little shy with her hands crossed in an attempt to shade her breasts the best way she could even though she was wearing a bra.

Audrey’s smirk widened as he watched with an infinite level of amusement. He gestured for her to take the bra off too.

“Fuck you!” She scowled at him. SEARCH FOR LOVE
