Chapter 3 Mate or Rutt?!

"Let go of me!"

The last thing I remembered was a big hand over my face while I was outside. When I opened my eyes the scene was entirely different from how I remembered it.

My thoughts went hazy as I fell into a state of utter panic, thinking I had been kidnapped, then I realized I was at a hotel and my kidnapper had pressing issues against me.

"I'm telling you, you've got the wrong woman," I yell with irritation and a mix of stress.

"So you could pretend you don't know my master once again?" The man in black argues.

Three hours, three long hours, that's exactly how long we've been arguing about this identity crisis.

"I don't even know you, why would I lie about it?" Huffing for the tenth time as all my strength seems to disappear while arguing with this man.

"Vida, you agreed to a surrogacy contract and after my master paid you, you made away with his money," I was informed.

Worn out I turn towards his master sitting behind him a bit far into the corner where the shadows engulf him.

I doubt I'd ever agree to surrogacy for such an ominous-looking man.

"What?! Surro….? No! I would never agree to such a thing!" Especially not to him, I would like to add, but unfortunately, I feel it's important to walk out with my head.

"Then would you mind explaining this…"

Tucking his hand into his suit pocket, she retrieved a paper and shoved it at my face. I'm a bit hesitant but proceed to open the paper and read the details, however, I'm soon met with a shocking situation when everything in it is exactly my details.

My name, my photo, my former worker's ID, everything, but most importantly the money was sent to Eric who claims to be my brother, and I'm an orphan.

To think he went this far just for money.

"That's not even my signature," I laughed while handing back the paper, "you've been scammed sir, now if you excuse me, I have to go home, this contract is invalid."

"fu*k!"

A roar echoes while I make my way to the door, it's so loud I thought my ears would burst.

He rushes towards me, tossing his bodyguard aside with one push, and I'm startled.

"What the?!" I knew a human when I saw one, and this man was far from one.

I'm cornered to an end, my path blocked by both his arms which thump violently with veins, his breath gets as he stares closely, barely an inch away from me, and then he opens his mouth…

"Mate!"

Mate?! What the fu*k!

Dexter's POV

'No! It can't be!' I tell my wolf with anger and yet he bluntly pushes aside my worries as he claims this girl.

At first, I was unsure, my nose tickled with the sweet scent of lavender and I thought she had a very strong perfume that I could smell so far away but that moment when I saw her reach for the door, my wolf cried out to a woman for the first time.

There must be something wrong, how can our mate be a weak human? I mean look at her, I could accept that she's a human but she's too weak.

I feel her bones would snap at one grip.

'Julio, there's got to be some other human, at least someone stronger than this weakling or a bit influential…'

'No!' He cuts me off violently.

I could feel us draw near to this human as I went into a rut.

Why her? I wonder despite being Mateless for twenty-five years.

Being the Alpha of the Black Moon Path, it's becoming problematic that I'm without a mate, some of my council have already begun plotting my downfall if I reach thirty and be without one.

I've searched for my mate for seven years but couldn't find her, and worse, it's a hidden issue that I've failed to breed with any female who isn't my mate. There's no way I can let words out otherwise they'll overthrow me.

"Excuse me sir, but I have no idea what you're talking about," she yells, putting up a strong front while her body trembles.

'I want her, we must have her,' Julio's resolve strengthens and I begin to growl.

No! I must restrain myself so she wouldn't get hurt for resisting.

Now that I've found her I don't need a surrogate mother anymore.

An heir was the only way I could strengthen my authority, and my council has been pressing on it for a long time, plotting to destroy me if I fail. They forget they're nothing without my strength, it wasn't easy for me to conclude on a surrogate mother, but now I have this human playing mind games with me.

After not getting any feedback from her for a month, I decided to look for my surrogate mother and when I saw her, I instantly felt like having her. I wasn't sure at first but I am now.

"Listen here girl, stop playing games with me, how can someone get all your details correctly and yet you tell me it wasn't you," I ask, my voice already combined with grunts and hot breaths.

"I'm telling you, I didn't sign this, why would I want to give birth to a child for a man I don't know, forget knowing you, I don't like you!"

Her words are like thunderstorms to my wolf as he weakens.

I can hear him whimper, as we're indirectly being rejected without her knowing.

Doesn't she know who I am?

She should be grateful to be my make and bear the child of the richest and youngest Alpha in the country.

"Hey! Watch what you say, lady, otherwise you might just see yourself as a corpse."

Despite my threatening words, I hold back my true desire as my wolf screams, 'I want you,' deep inside.

I want to reach out to her, and hold her tender neck, brush down a little to her collarbone as I watch her shudder with her shy expression and when she thinks it's over, I'll take her and mark her as mine.

But…!

She'll hate me if I do so. I may not be able to overcome being rejected after so many years without a mate.

How…?

Just how do I make you mine Vida?
