Chapter 4

**Olivia's POV**

He wants me to be his maid?

I looked at him shockingly. What he just said was difficult to believe and no matter how I tried to make myself believe? It just wasn't working. How could he do this to me? I looked at him with glassy eyes.

He stared back at me, his eyes held so much hate and resentment. “You might be probably hurt by what I said, but I am not taking back my words. This isn't how it should be. We aren't meant to be,” He said, and my heart broke. “I don't want a weak wolf as my mate, it can't work that way,” He sipped his wine and tears rolled down my cheeks.

I could sense the hurt in his voice, and it broke my heart the most. It wasn't my fault that I became mute, it was never my fault. Who was I kidding, thinking I could be accepted like this? He thinks I'm weak, and I don't blame him at all. His thoughts might also be fueled by the fact that whenever I get into trouble, I may not be able to ask for help. He wouldn't even want to help me anyway.

How do I tell him that he is the only way I can start talking again? How do I make him understand that because of him, I can go extra miles and learn how to defend myself? I But I don't even think he would listen to me. Being mute doesn't make me less of a wolf. I have blood coursing through my veins and have feelings that can get hurt as well.

I looked up and our gazes met. He dropped the cup of wine he was holding and walked over to where I stood, looking me dead in the eyes.

“You can't be my mate, Olivia. I know you might also be wondering how I got your name, even though you didn't tell me… it's not like you can speak any way. I've done a background check on you, and the only thing that ruined your chances with me is you being mute!” He snapped and I flinched.

“Just get the hell out of my sight, I don't want to see your face,” He snapped and tried to leave, but I held his hand. He turned to look at me, his expression dark and cold. Tears rolled down my cheeks and I clasped my hands together in a pleadingly. If I got rejected by him, it wouldn't be good for me. I'd turn into a laughingstock and people would hate me more than they already did.

He pushed my hand away and wiped his hand. “Get out,” He ordered.

I didn't want to leave him like this. We were both hurting and at times like this, it's only necessary that we stick together. He can't just chase me away like this. He turned to look at me angrily, “Didn't you hear what I said?” He snapped and I sighed.

How do I tell him that I can't leave him alone?

He scoffed, and before I knew it, he slammed me on the wall and held my neck. I gasped as his hold on my neck tightened.

My eyes started watering. I struggled with him as he held my neck, trying to make a sound, but nothing came out of my mouth.  I looked at him tearfully, hoping he would just feel remorseful and let me go, but he didn't and only pinned me to the wall more.

His face held anger and sadness as his grip on my neck tightened. From the way he looked at me, one could tell that he hated me so much. He looked at me with sheer hatred etched into his features, and tears rolled down my cheeks.

“Pl…” I tried to speak, but it only turned into a whisper.

I was running out of air and attempted to make a sound for him to stop, using my hands and fingers. He looked at my gesture and frowned.

“Say something, Anything!” He snapped and I burst into tears.

I tried hard to say something; I attempted to open my mouth, but what came out were short gasps and panting.  It felt like I couldn't catch my breath..

How do I tell him that I won't hurt him? How do I explain to him that I would never hurt him because he was my mate? I'm mute, that I know, but I can get strong for his sake. I can train and do other things just for him. Why won't he just give me a chance?

“I'd n…ever hurt you because… yo… you're my mate.” I tried, but my voice was harsh and barely audible. He looked at me for a while before letting go of me, and I fell to the ground, holding my neck and coughing. I burst into tears as I looked at him.

He grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the throne room. Was he taking me to the dungeon again?

We got to a huge building I suspected to be the hospital, and he dragged me into a ward. He was quiet for a while, and two ladies walked in a few minutes later. One was wearing a lab coat while the other was in casual wear. They looked beautiful, especially the one in casual wear.

“I'm here, Alpha. I got your message. Is she a Stealer wolf?” The doctor asked as she examined me.

“Why else would I ask for what I needed if she wasn't?” He scoffed.

“I'm sorry, Alpha. I'll speak with the nurses to bring the items.” She bowed and I arched my brows.

What item was she talking about? My heart started racing immediately. Was he trying to get rid of me or what?

My eyes went to the other lady and I frowned when I saw her giving the Alpha seductive glances. I clenched my fist and glared at her. She looked at me and scoffed before looking away.

The nurses came in later with a tray of equipment.

“Here they are, Alpha.” The doctor smiled.

“Good. Inject her with it, and she'll find her way back to the pack house.” He ordered and walked away.

Did I just hear inject? I stood up and tried to leave, but the doctor held me back.

“Stay put. It's the Alpha's orders!”
