Sold To My Alpha Mate

Venom’s POV

“What was that?” Elora asked, her body shaking in her seat.

“I think that was just a minor pothole. We’ll just keep moving.”

She would constantly look behind her to see if we were being followed and I would do the same through the mirror too.

We were getting closer to the border so there would be lesser issues once we got out of their territory.

I wasn’t going to take the actions of Alpha Maximum lightly, but I would have to go back home to settle things completely first.

“So, have you been married before?” The woman asked me.

“No, this is just my first and only mate. I pray she remains the only one if I don’t lose her.” I replied to her.

“I’ve been married once. I was married to Larry’s father as a younger lady.” My brain didn’t catch on to what she had said for a bit, until when I remembered that she was only adorning a young face on.

“I know you’ve been killing to ask about why I look so young and I’ll answer you.” She added.

I was glad she would explain and for the fact that she wasn’t a grieving woman anymore and she had gotten better with her emotions.

“I’d like to listen.” I encouraged the conversation she was trying to start up between us.

“When I was younger, I was only a young wolf and I had only gotten to be like this after an enchantment.”

She opened her chest and exposed just enough for me to see a little below her collarbone. There was a tattoo on it.

“Is that from the enchantment?” I asked.

“Yes, it is. It was from a battle and I was brought here captive a long while ago. I married here and mostly lived here.” She cut the conversation short and didn’t say anything anymore.

“I don’t think I’m willing to speak more about myself.” She was almost breaking in a sob and that was when I knew the conversation had broken the camel’s back.

“It’s fine.” I stretched out my hand for her to grab onto. She didn’t reject it and held it firm. I tried my possible best to pay attention with the one arm I used to drive.

I felt a sense of relaxation as she stroked it gently for me too. She had a smile on her face when she was me sighing.

“Did it help with your tension?” She asked smiling.

“Yes it did and did I also help with yours?”

“Most definitely.” She asserted.

I guess I was satisfied with that outcome.

It was past midnight and we had only entered the neighbouring pack. There was still a little more journey to go through before getting to our destination.

I wanted to park and rest, but I was reluctant to do so because of the woman I had in my car and what has happened with her child.

I felt owed her some rest in somewhere convenient without the attacks.

The car went dead silent and there was no conversation between us anymore. I thought about Maya and the initial reason I had asked Elora to come with me.

It didn’t seem like she would still be on board with the initial idea after what happened with her son. It was barely comforting to ask her for such help after what I caused her.

An hour passed and she had dozed off. I brought the car to a stop in the compound of the pack house and had to wake her up.

“Hey, Elora. We’re here now.” I tapped her body gently.

She jolted from her sleep. She had been sleeping deeply before I went to wake her up. .Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“We’re at my pack house. Wake up so we can go in and you can rest comfortably.” I said to her calmly.

The door was spread open and she brought herself out, I had to gently steady her since she was still a bit sleepy.

I held her hand guided her through the entrance. No one was awake and I was thankful they were not. Everything was still overwhelming and it would have been a bit extra if they came out to all that was happening.

I led her to a guest room where she laid on the bed and dozed off almost a minute later. I had watched her fall asleep before going out of the room.

I went to the room where Maya had been kept next to find her, but she wasn’t there. I was surprised and went to my normal room where she wasn’t in too.

I got a bit worried, but I trusted nothing unsafe would have happened to her without any information for me.

I fell asleep on the bed without undressing, I looked just the way I came in and the fatigued had overpowered me.

My dreams were disturbing and I was constantly having nightmares about what had happened hours ago at Alpha Maximum’s pack. I was only stirred and didn’t wake up for a while.

By the time my eyes were opened, it was morning or maybe afternoon. The light was just quite bright in the room and rays of the sun reflected off of a glass table that I had in the room.

I got up and undressed so I could get a bath before starting up for the day.

I still felt tired, but it was no longer physical fatigue. It was mental stress and my wolf could sense it well, it had retracted. My body pretty much felt lifeless.

I got a brief bath and changed into different clothes so I could go out to the living room to find everyone.

After dressing and finishing up the routine, I went to the guest house where I had left Elora, she was still asleep.

I went to the living room to search for the family, but no one was there, I heard voices coming from the dining and when I got there, I was bewildered.

“Maya?”
