The Alpha's Abused Mate

Chapter 4

"Mate" my wolf whispered

I've finally found my soulmate. Our eyes locked in a steady eye contact. It seemed like time had

stopped....as if everything was in slow motion. We stared at each other for what seemed like forever.

"Uh do you guys know each other or something?" Rachel asked

"No, she just...she- she looks familiar" he said still staring at me

Rachel rolled her eyes and mumbled "I'm all dressed up yet she's the one who looks familiar"

"Alright let’s eat then" my mom said

We all sat down at the table. My mouth almost watered at the sight of food. I can't remember the last

time I ate a proper meal. I wish visitors could be coming over more often. It gives me a chance to eat.

Of course, my dad wants to seem like a good person in front of the guests. That's the only reason why

I'm here.

Rachel sat beside Alpha Damien while I sat across them.

Alpha Damien and my dad started discussing about pack matters. Every now and then we would

glance at each other and I would feel butterflies in my stomach at the sight of him but he always looked All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

away. I became a little scared.

Did he not want me?

Does he think I'm ugly?

Does he prefer my sister?

Am I dressed wrongly?

Am I not up to his expectations?

Am I below his standards?

I began to think about all these questions.

After everyone was done, I got up and packed the plates to the kitchen and started washing them up as

usual. I was about to get a napkin to clean the sink until Alpha Damien blocked my path.

I was a little frightened. I didn't even see him come in.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked

His voice sent shivers down my spine. Everything felt so surreal. I looked up at him as his figure

towered over mine. He could practically break me if he wanted to.

I whimpered in fear.

"Nowhere" I whispered

He moved forward. I took two steps back but it was no use.

"Have you heard about me?"

I nodded

"Do you want love?"

I didn't respond

'Answer me' he growled

I slowly nodded. He laughed

"The rumours you heard about me are true so you can throw any thought of love out the window.

You're mine now, there's nothing you can do about it. Is that understood?'

I nodded

"Speak up when I talk to you"

"Yes alpha"

*****************************

After Alpha Damien left, I couldn't get his words out of my mind. I was busy washing the remaining

plates in the kitchen while everyone was doing whatever they were doing.

"Hey Carla"

Rachel came into my view.

I rinsed my hands then looked at her. Why is she being so nice to me? She definitely wants something.

"Yes?" I answered

"What were you and Alpha Damien talking about earlier?"

I have to lie. There's no way i can tell her that he's my mate. She wouldn't believe me anyway. She'd

just make a scene

"No-nothing"

She raised an eyebrow

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

'Look, your plan's not gonna work okay? He doesn't do girls like you so push that thought aside, got it?"

"Yes I-I-I GET IT"

She put on a wide fake smile.

"Carry on"

I finished up the remaining plates and went upstairs. I laid on my bed deciding to rest a little.

About fifteen minutes later I heard my door open. I sat up. Rachel entered my room.

"Do you need anything?" I asked her

"Apparently I do, there's been a change of plans"

"About what?"

"My friends are coming over for a sleepover and I really don't want you around"

"Okay I'll stay in my room"

"I don't want you around means I want you out of the house"

"Where do you expect me to go?"

"I don't know'" she shrugged "Go crash at a friend's place or something"

"I don't have any friends" I whispered

She put her hand on her chest

"Aww" she wiped away a fake tear “Whose fault is that?'

She sniffled

"That's so sad. Go shove it up your ass cause I'm not changing my mind. I don't care what you say or

where you go. I want you out okay?"

"Okay" I whispered knowing I wasn't going to win. She always had her way

"Good girl"
