Mateo. Even when I caress her body and force a kiss on her, she did not reject me.“I love you,” I mutter as I kiss her neckline. She remains motionless, like a walking corpse. “I promise to treat you well. Just accept me, darling.” I caress her face before kissing her, hoping for a response, but she crushes my hopes. She locks her gaze on me. Her frigid stare says it all.Ahh. She knows how to make me feel guilty. I take a step back, my heart heavy with her rejection.“I apologize. You need to shower and get to bed,” I say, pointing to the bathroom. She goes inside, completely clothed, without saying anything.“Honey, are you not going to remove the cloth you’re wearing?” I ask, but she did not respond.Is what I’m doing right? Is it legal to keep her here without her consent? I know I’m wrong, but I just can’t let her go. I know she’s anxious, but I need to keep her here. I’m afraid of what will happen if I let her leave. When she comes in, I’m half naked on my bed, still thinking
Mateo.“No, sir,” she says before backing away.“I don’t mind sending both of you away from my mansion,” I mumble. “Since you think you can speak back to me because you are my boss or the owner of the mansion.”She goes on her knees and begs. “I dare not, sir. Please forgive me. Sir, I will never cross the line again. Please forgive me for this one time.”“It’s ok. You may rise,” I say, waving my hand. “This time, Mandy, I’ll forgive you. There will be no more chances.”I turn to face the other maids after warning her. “You should all know your position. Don’t try to convert anything that isn’t yours. You’re merely here to work and be paid; don’t start thinking you’re entitled to be the lady of the house. Only her,” I respond, pointing to my mate. “Only she deserves to be my woman; you must respect her.”“Yes, sir,” they respond, bowing their heads. “Welcome home, madam.”She merely smiles at them without saying anything.“You can serve us our food,” I add. Josh enters after dispatchi
Sophia.“I don’t know what the hell is wrong with your brain, Sophia,” says Athena. “We both know how much we adore him. How come you deny it?”I can’t blame my persistent wolf. Only if she realizes how terrified I am. Only if she understands my fear of being abandoned or lied to. My father’s abandonment of my mother is not his fault, but Lucas abandons my sister without hesitation. He lies to her and murders her, not caring that she is carrying his child. I am still in agony and terrified of being abandoned or murdered by my partner. I intend to live alone, without a partner, but my plans are shattered when I met him. I think everything will be OK once I get away from him, but who thinks I’ll walk straight into his trap, and my wolf isn’t helping at all? She desires to be his. I get a new sensation when he wraps his hand around my waist. A pleasure beyond my comprehension. I like it. My mind is brimming with longing for him. The urge to own and dominate him fills my mind. My head buzz
Mateo.After leaving home in the morning and saying goodbye to her. I tell her to remain at home and be obedient. She refuses to speak, so I take her silence as a yes.“We’ve arrived, sir,” Simon says, snapping me out of my daze. I’ve been thinking about her. I open the door and exit the car.“Good morning, sir,” Amber says as she follows me into my office. She continues to explain the idea Mega Limited company filed.“They have submitted this, and I hope you can read it. We also need your approval and signature,” she explains. She unlocks my office door, and I go in before taking my seat.“Sir, this is the file.”She didn’t give me time to relax before assigning me work. I truly want to return to my kingdom and spend time with my mate. I get the files from her before I open and read them.“Not bad,” I mumble as I turn to the second page. “What do you think about this, Amber?”“Sir, I think their proposal isn’t too bad,” she adds. I continue to read it, and when I am satisfied with wha
Mateo.She expresses her affection for me. Did she have feelings for me? I have no idea she is so madly in love with me. Why can’t she tell me if she loves me? Is she too shy to tell me how she feels?‘He is the most beautiful guy I have ever seen,’ she says. Ahh. This is the most wonderful day of my life. I’m trembling with joy. ‘He has the appearance of a deity.’I get to my feet and look in the mirror. I turn around and examine my whole body, including my face. Is it true that I am attractive? Did she see me as a god? I’m still scrutinizing myself without caring who comes in.“Ahem... hack.” I hear someone coughing.‘He’s our mate. How can I despise him?’ My eyes sparkle with joy. She now acknowledges that I am her mate. I need to go home right now. I have to see her. I grab my suit jacket and prepare to leave.“When did you come in?” I ask Josh, who stands in front of me.“Sir, it has been a while since I have come in,” he adds. “I try to get your attention, but it seems you are h
Mateo. I take her hand in mine. with a shock plaster on her face. I ask, “Where the hell are you running to, my queen? Do you mind telling me?”“Let me go,” she eventually says. “Who says I’m fleeing? I’m just doing a practice run.”“As if I’m going to believe your shit, my queen,” I quip, sneering. “Who jogs to this extent? Do you think I’m foolish simply because I’m kind to you?”“Enough. Please don’t shout at me. I don’t want to be here any longer. I’m ready to go home.”“Oh. I apologize for misunderstanding you. You should have let me know you want to return to the Lycan realm with me,” I mumble. “Your home is there, or is that not what you desire?”“Why should I follow you to your kingdom? What the hell are you saying?” she shouts.“Then, if not my kingdom, where do you want to go?”“My home,” she persists. “I have a home, and I will be going there.”“You have no other home than mine. You are my queen, and I am yours. Do you not understand, or are you simply trying to provoke me
Mateo.“Why did you kill her?” she speculates, terrified. “She did absolutely nothing.”“She did everything wrong, my darling queen,” I mumble as I attempt to grab her.“She didn’t,” she bemoans. “I killed her. I am the reason she died,” she says, falling to her knees and sobbing uncontrollably. She cries so hard that my heart hurts. If I know she will be unhappy, I will not murder her. I’m simply annoyed because she let my mate escape and dressed half-naked to seduce me.“Look here, mate, you are not the reason she died; she deserved to die. Why did she seduce me and want to be my wife?”“You won’t understand,” she bellows. Why is she so upset over her death? She should be the one to murder her for attempting to take me away from her. Why is she so depressed over her cheap death?“I am the cause of her death. If... only I,” she says solemnly. “She may not have died if I didn’t make a deal with her.” What does she mean? What bargain did she strike with her?“What are you talking about
Mateo.“Are you ready, love?” I inquire.“Yes, we can leave now,” she says as she stands up. I take her hand in mine and walk her down the stairs.“Good morning, sir,” says Mandy. “Good morning, madam.”“How are you doing, Mandy?” I ask, my face beaming with joy.“Good morning, madam Mandy,” my mate says.“Please, ma, you can call me Mandy,” she says, and my mate agrees. We take our seats, and they begin serving us. I wonder why none of them are asking for the deceased girl, or did Josh erase their memory of her?“Good morning, my king,” Josh greets me before taking his seat, clearly pleased.“Good morning, Beta Josh,” my mate says respectfully. I turn around and gaze at her. Did I hear her correctly? She greets him and refers to him as Beta. Calling him beta implies that she has already accepted me. Is this her way of saying she already accepts me? I observe Josh’s reaction. He is taken aback. He never anticipates her greeting him. None of us expected that from her. He promptly gets
