Chapter 4:

Dragon P.O.V.

I had to hide until everyone left and she was alone. It took no more than ten minutes, and I was staring at her beauty, especially her mismatched eyes. She looked like a unique wolf.

Her scent reached my nose, and all I could do was enjoy it... until I noticed her moving towards me. She had certainly sensed my presence; I was her mate, and she had just gotten her wolf.

She stood before me in her simple white dress, her green eyes staring into mine. I smiled wildly and asked, "Why did you run away?"

Her eyes widened in shock. She expected me not to recognize her. I wouldn’t have, had she not been my mate, but this was fate. She cleared her throat, scratching the back of her head and nervously fidgeting with her fingers, stammering, "But... but run away from what? I don’t understand what you mean!"

I laughed more as I approached her. Her labored breathing revealed her fear, her eyes darting quickly, her heartbeat rapid and irregular. I could sense it all. I whispered in her ear, "You ran from my embrace, Jenny!"

She stepped back, feigning strength and confusion. "Alpha Dragon, I think you're mistaken. You’re not in the right place."

She was trying to remind me that I was to marry her sister. But what could I do? I could do anything I wanted, especially if my mate was in front of me. I moved closer, pushing the scarf aside to inspect the wolf mark I had placed on her as my mate.

I smiled, my fangs showing, and then said seriously, "Stop pretending to be stupid, Jenny."

I got closer, wrapping one arm around her waist and the other holding her unruly hair. I hissed beside her face, "You won’t be afraid of anyone, even if your sister is the pack's Luna, Jenny. You will be mine."

She pushed me away angrily, shouting, "Don't you dare come near me and touch me! What you're thinking will only happen in your dreams."

No one had ever stood in my way before. The strongest werewolves hadn’t dared, so why would my mate rebel? I loved the challenge, especially if it came from my mate.

I took a few steps closer, silent, just to make her recognize the bond between us. She would realize it now, and from her increased silence and widened eyes, I could tell she knew I was her mate. Tears fell from her eyes, and she collapsed on the grass at my feet.

I felt a sting in my heart. Was she breaking down because I was her mate or because her sister was the designated Luna of the pack? I felt a surge of anger, wanting to burn everyone and drag her back by her hair to the same bed she had been in, into my embrace, but I restrained myself and knelt beside her.

I didn’t want to see her green eyes bleeding with pain like that. I didn’t want that for her. I took her hand, lifted her chin gently, and said softly to avoid scaring her, "Why are you so scared? Having me as your mate should make you happy, but here you are crying."

I wiped her tears, and she stood, shouting in my face, "Who said I would accept you? I have the right to reject my mate, Alpha Dragon."

I smirked sarcastically and declared, "Who are you to reject Alpha Dragon? Do you want to be imprisoned for the rest of your life, or would you prefer to see Alpha Anderson assassinated before your eyes?"

She was shocked and then slapped me. "Don’t you dare stand in my way or mention my father’s name again."

Her slap was so strong it left a mark on my face. I touched my right cheek where I had been struck, then laughed while looking at her. "I never imagined your soft hand could be so strong, my mate!"

This was my tranquility before I made her bleed and regret that slap. I got closer to slap her hard, even if it was against my will. Her mouth bled harshly, and she fell to the ground.

Her eyes swelled, and then she looked at me fiercely as if she would not submit to me or accept me, challenging me and wanting to stand against me without fear.

She shouted fiercely, looking at me with disdain, "Stay away from me, just stay away... I hate you with all my heart, Alpha Dragon."

Her words of hatred killed me inside, but they only increased my anger and frustration. I lowered myself to her level, gripping her hair tightly as I directed her face towards me, whispering forcefully, "I can go to your father and tell him that his youngest daughter had sex with her sister's husband. This could lead to your exile from the pack."

I strengthened my grip on her jaw, disregarding her pain, and shouted, "You will only ever be a mistress and whore to Alpha Dragon. Don't dream of anything more!"

I would have given her everything, loved her, and given her status and position even if she wasn't Luna. I wouldn't have let my mate suffer, but her rejection and hatred made me furious. I want her to regret her actions and everything she said.

She must be with me, even if that means fear and terror from my presence...

She stood proudly again and said, looking at me with her miserable appearance and thin body, "I am Jenny Anderson, daughter of Alpha Anderson from the Golden Sun Pack, and I reject you, Alpha Dragon."

I smiled mockingly. Does she think that by rejecting me, I would accept her even if she were my mate? Alpha Dragon is never rejected, no matter what happens. So I shouted, "I am Alpha Dragon from the Blue Moon Pack, and I reject you, Jenny."

Yes, I rejected her, but she won't go away. She will just be a whore I use for my pleasure, even if it means burning her entire pack to have her.
