Chapter Three | MATE.

FRANCESCA

I heard screams as my wolf moved against my will towards everyone present at the burial ceremony.

Killing, chewing, and clawing out individuals that I came in contact with.

I couldn't control it. My heart raced as numerous questions flooded my mind.

'Stop! Stop killing people!' I cried in my head, but it fell on deaf ears.

"She's a witch! Get that bitch!" I heard the Alpha king's warriors plan to capture me.

I'm not a witch. I am a helpless Omega who has known nothing but suffering all her life. No one loved me from birth, not even my own mother.

'That's right! No one loves you, and you should appreciate that I'm here to save you.' A voice echoed in my head.

'Really?'

'I will make sure they pay. All the secrets and lies will be revealed soon!'

'Secrets and lies, what do you mean?'

As my wolf was about to claw out another Alpha king's warrior's head, a figure appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of us. The atmosphere became calm suddenly as we stared into his bright red eyes while he stretched out his hands towards us in a welcoming manner. He smelled delicious, and I could eat him that moment, not until a word came.

"MATE!"

My wolf claws scraped the ground to halt her steps so as not to clash against him before us.

I spotted a smile twitch in his lips as my wolf lay low in front of him. He had calmed her, and I felt both glad and confused at the same time.

Suddenly, I felt like I was shrinking in size. Soon, I found myself smaller in the presence of the dominant figure in front of me. I swallowed hard, unable to move, as his eyes studied me.

My vision became dizzy, and I fell, but the ground I touched felt firm and smooth instead of hard.

*****

My head was heavy as I slowly opened my eyes.

Something smelled good. I recognized this scent; it was the same scent I smelled in my dream just now.

Oh my!

I held my breath as I regained consciousness, and my eyes fell on the black leather jacket covering my naked body.

Soon, my eyes raised and turned to my left to see the same man I remembered calling "MATE" in my dream just now.

This isn't a dream!

I couldn't move again as I became lost in his manly jaw and wicked mustache. We were in a moving car, and he was staring ahead, but I felt like he was watching me. Soon, he turned to face me.

My heart raced as we locked eyes. I fought to look away, but I couldn't, and his voice cleared the intense silence in the backseat where we sat.

"You're awake. Welcome to my territory." His lips twitched in the most perfect smile I had ever seen, and my heart raced. Aside from that, his rather ancient accent was pleasant.

That's when I turned my gaze outside the window to see convoys and trailers following behind us, filled with gallant warriors. I swallowed hard and turned my gaze back to him, but he was smiling at me.

Who was he?

Soon, we reached his mansion, and I felt small at the entrance.

"Allow me to show you around?" He stretched forth his hand towards me as I stared at the huge mansion before me, resembling a castle. I had never been in such a luxurious place before, let alone like this. "Don't worry, I don't bite." He added.

I swallowed and gently took his hand. Immediately, we came in contact; I felt sparks fly between us. More importantly, I felt him vulnerable for a moment, and it showed in his expression.

Soon, we had surveyed the living room, the main kitchen, training grounds, and now we were in the bedroom. I didn't know whose it was, but I could take a guess by just looking at the size and luxury.

'Is this all real?' I asked myself as I squeezed myself inside the jacket that smelled like him.

"This ... is my bedroom," he said firmly, turning his gaze towards me with a slight smile that I could never get tired of seeing.

"Really ... it's so huge, beautiful, and luxurious."

"Of course, it is," he said. "Leave us."

"Yes, Alpha king."

He ordered the muscular warriors following us all this while away, leaving just the two of us alone in the entrance of the room.

"It's beautiful, just like you." His finger found my chin and directed my face towards him.

I must admit, I felt attracted to this godlike man who unbelievably happens to be my mate. How did my miserable life turn into a disney dream in such a short moment?

His hands found mine, and he placed them over his shoulders, making my cheeks blush.

"What is your name?" I asked curiously.

"For you, call me Alex."

"Are you sure? I heard your servants call you Alpha king, and I am not quite sure if..."

He kissed me, shutting me up instantly. I felt shivers run down my body.

As if that wasn't enough, his hands located my waist and pulled me closer in his hold.

His lips devoured mine like he was very hungry for how I tasted, and it was extremely good.

Suddenly, the doors closed without him touching them, and he moved me to the bed. We separated to catch our breath, staring at each other with passion in our eyes.

But I couldn't wait for him any longer and kissed him again. He removed my jacket and what I was wearing underneath, exposing me as he pushed me onto the bed.

He unzipped his pants and jumped on top of me.

After endless passionate kisses and thunderous growls from him, he raised my legs up as he shoved his hardness inside my wet entrance. 

Thrusting in and out of me as I moaned to incredible pleasures. 

"How? How is my second chance mate this sweet?" He grunt under his breath heavily.
