Chapter three

CORA’s POV…

He stared at me, shocked. I was sure he couldn’t believe that someone like me, a mere hybrid omega, had dared to turn down his rejection.

"What did you say?" He asked me, and I moved closer to him.

"You heard me right, Alpha. I’m not going to accept your rejection." To make it even worse and make me seem even more audacious, I grabbed him by the collar as I placed a kiss on his lips. "We’re mates, and as such, I’ll be waiting for you in the bedroom, wherever that is." I said it out loud, muttering the last part to myself.

I winked slightly at him before walking away. As I walked away, I placed my hand to my chest; there was no way I had just done that. What would happen to me now?

"Alpha Leonardo’s chambers?" I asked one of the people who were passing by and she stared at me like I was some crazy person, and I took a deep breath. After staring at me for some time, she directed me to his room, and holy sh*t, walking into the room felt like heaven.

This room looked like the whole palace in my former pack, and damn, I loved how beautiful it looked. I tucked my hair behind my ear, and just as I was about to walk to the bed, I felt a hand on my throat. I gasped as I turned to see Leonardo’s fiery eyes staring at me, and I swallowed in fear.

"Do you think turning down my rejection makes you any braver or earns you any position in my heart?" He asked me, and I held on to his arms, which were now causing me to choke.

It was hurting me, and I brought it to his attention. "You’re hurting me; let go of me!" I screamed.

He chuckled as he stared at me. "Weren’t you the one who willingly wanted to be my mate?" He asked with a smirk, and I could feel my knees begin to weaken as I stared at him.

What was this man doing to me, and why was I feeling this way?

"I….I…"   He didn’t even let me complete my statement when he spoke in a very low and seductive voice.

"Don’t you want to know why an alpha as powerful and handsome as me was rejected by a mere she-wolf?" He asked me, and staring at him, I realized that I didn’t even know this, but why was I to care? I only wanted a mate, one that would be by my side.

He chuckled. "I’d make sure I drill every little hole in that omega body of yours, and trust me, I’ll make you scream my name while I do that." He told me, and fear gripped me again.

He was such a mighty alpha, I couldn’t help but wonder how his skills would also be.

"I don’t care. I only want my mate; don’t I have the right to that?" I asked him as tears slowly started streaming down my cheeks.

He let go of my throat as he pushed me fiercely to the bed. Before I could even say anything, he took his jacket off before throwing it to the floor. "Omegas don’t deserve mates; they deserve dominants." He told me with a nasty smirk on his face. "Don’t worry, I’m a very good dominant!" He said that, and I started to move on the bed.

Fear was getting the best of me at this point, and it baffled me because this was the same man I had almost spent a night with some time back. Why was I suddenly feeling this fear now?

I swallowed, and before I knew it, he put his hands beside me on the bed, trapping me, and I gasped as I stared at him. He smirked slightly. "What did you think? I’d bring you here from that ridiculous pack of yours with plans to reject you, and then you’d turn my rejection down and I’d be happy with you?" He asked me as he chuckled loudly before grabbing me by the chin, and I gasped in fear. "You better think again." He told me, and I swallowed. This man was making me extremely scared.

"I..I…"   I tried speaking, but then at that moment, he pressed his lips against mine, and before I knew it, I felt those masculine hands of his, those firm hands that were enough to make someone wet their pants, slowly start to unzip my dress.

Fear was getting the best of me at this point, and his hands were like magic to me. I swallowed, and just then, his lips left mine as they made their way to my shoulder. He slowly graced my shoulder with that tongue of his, and just as I was reaching the clouds, I felt his hands between my legs.

He gave a slight and somehow mocking chuckle, saying, "You are already wet." He told me, and I swallowed.

He caressed my lap slowly while still moving his tongue around my neck, and I couldn’t help but moan, "Alpha Leonardo." I gasped when his hands suddenly made their way to my breast, grabbing them as he squeezed on it slightly.

He chuckled as he pushed me to the bed, spreading my legs wide as he placed his head between my legs, licking my legs slowly as I let myself reach the clouds. I continued to moan his name, and he took his head out.

He grabbed a handful of my hair, and I didn’t know what he wanted to do, but at the same time, I didn’t care. He was doing things to me, and it was all that mattered.

I was already mesmerized, getting lost in his touch, when he suddenly stopped. "This is one reason I can never accept a filthy hybrid omega as my mate. You’re always horny, and who knows how many alphas have made their way through that hole of yours?" He told me as he spat at me, and it felt like my world came crashing down. Just at this moment, when I thought everything was falling into place for me, he said that?

I stared at him. Why’d he have to say that just when I thought he was going to make me a woman? As usual, I was in pain again, and tears streamed down my cheeks.
