Chapter 2

Hazel

I stared into the eyes of my mate shivering hard with excitement. I could feel my heart beating erratically, with the butterflies that fluttered in my belly.

At least, I had finally found my mate. Someone that was going to treat me as though I existed.

I stared into his eyes expecting his wolf to take a hold of him and for him to notice the mate bond but none of these happened. He kept staring at me blankly like he could not see me.

"And where were you heading to?" He shot a deadly glare at me making me fall back into fear.

My lips shook in trepidation and before I could even say a word, he slapped me hard on the face causing the fear and tears to be visible on my face.

"How dare you run away from the Alpha you fool?" 

 "Don't you know that you have been sold to me?" He thundered but I could not say a word to him.

I kept waiting, maybe he was going to sense the wolf bond but he didn't. He only stared at me like he wanted to chew me alive.

Or had he already sensed it and still hated me?

No wolf would do that to their mate, right?

Well, I could not tell.

The Alpha  shot a stare at one of the pack guards standing before him and he came over quickly, bowing slightly before the Alpha.

"Get her locked inside and make sure her room is always guarded so she will never try to escape again," he growled and they began to stage me away.

I could no longer restrain the tears that had formed in the corner of my eyes and I let them down slowly.

I was locked inside my room, the only thing I kept on doing was breaking down in tears. 

The wedding came soon, and I was wedded off to the Alpha king in a haste.

That morning, a car was brought to the house and I was ordered out of the room by the pack warriors.

There was nothing I could do anymore but obey their orders. "Once you give him an heir, you will be free Hazel," I said to myself with a long sigh.

But again, I thought about the mate bond that was growing stronger in me that he never seemed to notice.

"Maybe when he does, he is going to take me as his own," I breathed out in fake assurance.

"Get into the car," one of the pack guards shouted, making me fall backward immediately.

I went into the carriage and my journey to the Alpha's home began. He was sitting next to me with a frown hanging on his face.

Then, the wolf scent hit me again. This time, it was even stronger, so strong that I could not control it. 

My hands where shaking violently towards him and I had to hold back my hand with the other but it was way too strong. I wanted to feel his touch with my hands. And eventually, I placed my hands on his thighs.

Immediately after I did that, he swiftly turned his gaze to me, then slapped me in the face. 

"Get your filthy hands off me you fool." 

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I wondered how long I was going to endure that much maltreatment from him.

The rest of the time to the pack house was a silent one. He didn't talk to me, neither did I. My heart was heavy and I wished sooner or later, he was going to recognize me as his mate.

When we got to the pack house, he came down quickly and sneered at me. 

"Come with me," he returned and I began to walk behind him quickly at a very fast pace.

My legs were shivering, my heart was pounding, and my skin hurting from the intensity of his slap. We got to a room that seemed to be his.

"Hope you know what you came to this pack house for?" He probed, but I was confused, what exactly was he talking about?

"I don't understand." I answered, with my gaze lowered.

"You came here to get me a son, so let's get down to business quickly," he returned. 

And before I could say a single word, he tore off my dress with his hands.

He pushed me over to the bed and began to devour me with his hard dick, but instead of feeling the pressure, I only felt pain. 

When he was done with me, he pushed me aside briskly without a single trace of emotion.

And that was how it continued all the time, with Alpha Alexander, only acting like he cared about me whenever we were in bed.

At least, I was coping fine with the temporary affection, if I had not noticed the other girl that was in his life, Beth.

Beth had moved into the pack mansion a week after our wedding, and for some reasons that I had no idea about, she always acted so sweet with Alexander whenever I was around.

"Think about the devil," I cursed, as I realized that the beep on my phone was a notification about a video that Beth sent to me. 

I sighed and raised myself from the bed, wondering what exactly it was that Beth had decided to send me in a video.

Suddenly, it felt to me like everything around me had paused, and that I was the only one in the world around me that was collapsing. 

Alexander fucking Beth?

Her moans kept on replaying in my head as I threw the phone away. Beth had sent me a sex video of her and Alexander, and I did not know how to feel. 

"Aaaggghhh..." I bellowed out in pain, and at that moment, I suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous. 

Rushing to the toilet only made me confirm my fear that had built up for days.

I was pregnant for Alexander.

At that moment, Alexander came into the room, acting all sweet like he always did whenever he wanted the one thing he only cared for, satisfaction. 

And when he laid his hands on me, I snapped at him immediately. 

"Don't touch me!"

He was surprised at my outburst, and raised his brows at me with a frown.

"What are you saying?" He made to reach out for me again, but I took a step back.

"Don't touch me, I'm begging you now. At least listen to me this time." 

Taking a deep breath, "the only thing you do is hurt me. Do you even care about me?"

"Care?" He jeered, "so this is what this is all about?" He added.

"You seem to forget already, but I will remind you. There is nothing like a care relationship between the both of us. And the only thing that keeps you here with me is the contract that your father signed. Have a son for me."

His words made me feel really hurt. 

I knew I was pregnant at that moment, but his attitude was not what I wanted my child to grow into. 

All along that he made me feel like he was beginning to care for me, he only saw me as a sex tool? 

And someone that was to just produce a son for him? 

And what happens after? 

He send me away, or maybe kills me like he did to his previous Luna? 

My wolf whimpered.

I did not know what to feel exactly, and with my eyes that were already red from crying, I stared intently at him. 

"It's okay that you have never felt anything for me, and I'm not going to push it anymore."

Still uncertain about what I wanted to say, "I think it's best to leave then, Alexander, as I will never mean anything to you."
