Chapter 6

For a moment, I felt the lump stuck in my throat, I couldn't get it to pass through as I wished I hadn't opened my mouth then perhaps he wouldn't be turning around to look at me like some prey.

"What did you just say?"

I couldn't bring my lips to move and so I stared at for a moment before taking a step backward, a move that was stupid because he jumped right at me and grabbed my leg. 

"Where do you think you are going?" he asked and I shook my head. I wasn't about to get away from him since the room was locked and I couldn't just leave. I was only intending to save myself from his wrath.

"I wasn't going anywhere Alpha" Chase was cruel and I only got to know about it today. At first, it was just me assuming that he was mad at my pack for what they did but it wasn't. The Alpha was not just a sadist but a cruel man.

"Then what did you say?" He pulled me on my hair which only made me wince. He was right here and had called the Lewis, he heard what the pack doctor said and yet he was causing me distress. I couldn't take it anymore and so the tears that I have been fighting so hard not to drop on my cheeks finally brimmed down on my cheeks. I was disheartened as the pain was excruciating, anxiety dwelled in my heart as I wept, and the pain surged through my veins. As if sensing my pain, Chase was quick to loosen his hand on my hair, he stared at his hand surprised at his action and I wondered why. I wasn't surprised at anything that he did because I was aware that he was capable of anything, you just don't have to underestimate him.

Turning around as if hating to make eye contact with me whispered. "You should better stay in here tonight and try to get some rest"

"Why did you marry me? Why bring me here for me to suffer?" I asked again not giving him room to leave. Despite the fact this was a deal between my stepfather and him, had a feeling he had a choice back then, he could have refused instead he chose to accept the proposal and got married to me. Was there a plan between him and my stepfather? Did they plan to make me suffer until the end? If it was so I was suffering and in bondage, I couldn't breathe, was only a matter of time before I passed out as the walls kept closing in on me.

"Why don't you ask you your father?"

"How can I ask him when I am here with you? I know about the proposal between both packs but you should have rejected Then perhaps we wouldn't be in this situation, you would be with someone you love"

"Love?" He scoffed turning around to look at me as if I had grown two heads. "You think I care about mate and Love, Those are just a little boy's words to his teenage crush, You were the only available woman that suddenly caught my interest and I couldn't turn my eyes away"

I had a feeling he was mocking me, that was not possible and so I didn't bother believing any word he said. The Thought of asking him about Francesca crossed my mind but then I decided to keep quiet, wouldn't want what happened earlier to repeat itself. "Are trying to tell me that no one woman caught your eyes in your pack and I happened to pique your interest" I brought myself to ask him letting him know that I don't believe a thing he said and will never do.

His adrenaline rushed up as he frowned at me for daring to ask him such a question. "Is there a particular question you Intend to ask?" The Alpha asked with his deep voice that creeps me out.

"Not at all" I shook my head. There was a lot of question I wanted to ask him but it would have to pry into his private life and I knew the Alpha would not accept that, he might even punish me for trying to have a sticky beak. 

"Then you just shut your mouth and speak only when you are asked to," He said boorishly which didn't come as a surprise to me since I was aware of his rudeness. When I was still in my pack, I may not attend pack meetings but I was aware of what was happening around me. Alpha Chase has come on so many times by the women in my pack while some rumored him to be a heartless man with no heart and emotion, some assumed that he was hurt by his past lover and so he just doesn't believe in love, they said he only had girls for the night and that was it. I don't doubt those words now that I was married to him, I could imagine him staying away from women all along we were married. 

"I want to sleep in my room"

"Is cold there" He was quick to say which only surprised me. How did he know that? Sometimes I felt like if a human was sleeping there she would freeze to death from the coldness.

"How did you know?" I asked the only question lingering in my head since Quinn had been the one in charge of assigning a room to me. She gave me the bedroom that was used to punish maidservants who stole but they will never get to spend the night there, however, I have been spending my night and every other over there.

"Quite bugging me and sleep while I am being nice to you else you are going to get it from me" He turned around walked to the door held the knob as I looked at him. "Lock the door"

"Where are you going to sleep?"

"Somewhere far away from you?"

"Is it with Francesca?"

When he was about to speak up, a loud thud came on the door which only made me jump.
