THREE

Laura’s POV

“… I reject you…”

The words still rang some sort of bell in my head and my stomach tightened. My wolf immediately felt sad and I could feel her despair.

She was probably not expecting that we’ll get rejected by our mate but what were we thinking? That Alpha Devin would accept us with open arms.

My wolf got calm and I felt the hot tears burning at the back of my eyes. It took every ounce of strength in me to stop me from crying and I held my chest as I leaned against the door for support.

“So, I want you to listen because I have a few rules that when broken gets ugly,” Alpha Devin started and I couldn’t help but wonder.

Doesn’t the mating bond mean anything to him at all? How was it so easy to act like he didn’t feel the pull?

“Firstly, we’re not mates and whatever it is you’re feeling should be kept aside as that shouldn’t interfere with our business.” He continued, pausing as he raised a finger and turned to look at me.

His eyes were now redder than they were and it seemed as though it got darker each minute. His pupils dilated with anger and disgust as he stared me up and down before moving his head to look ahead.

“Secondly, I bought you and I did that because you will bear me a child. After that, I’ll let you go.” He continued and my eyes widened.

He doesn’t want me for anything more than just being his breeder?

“We’re mates and married in the eyes of everyone but when we are together, you will not touch me, we’ll sleep in different rooms and you will not speak until I ask you to.” I listened carefully as he laid down the rules and the reason as to why he bought me in the first place.

“Understood!” He roared and I nodded back and forth multiple times before vocally answering his questions and repeating what he said after him.

We got to his pack and Devin wasted no time in asking the maids to get me ready even though I had no idea why, “get her ready as soon as possible.” He ordered and before I could say anything two female maids dragged me away.

They cleaned and dressed my wounds that were still open, I winced in pain and my stomach growled. I was hungry, I hadn’t really eaten anything.

I was grateful when one of the maids handed me a tray of food and without thinking twice, I ate everything on the plate and soon I was ready.

They both walked out with me and I saw Alpha Devin, he wasn’t dressed too fancy and the room was slightly empty with just both of us and a priestess.

What is going on?

Each step I took was painful since my feet still hurt, my body ached and at some point it felt as though my legs couldn’t carry me anymore but I was supported by the maids.

I stood in front of him and all his stares were cold and deadly and with the priestess around, I knew it was a wedding. He didn’t say anything to me all through the ritual and whatever he had to say, he didn’t have to open his mouth.

His actions did the talking, his eyes darting around but never meeting mine. I looked around and I couldn’t help but wonder if this could still be classified as a wonder. I’d hoped other people would come too.

But, I was wrong. It was only Alpha Devin, I, the priestess and a few of the servants served as witnesses as the priest joined us both together.

I’ve never been so disheartened in my life, I pictured the perfect little life for myself and meeting my mate and finally getting to leave my stepfather  was one of the reasons I always held out hope.

What do I do now that I found my mate but he doesn’t want me as much as I want him?

My body ached and yearned for him even though it shouldn’t, my wolf wasn’t taking the rejection easily and whatever I did to get her to cheer up proved futile.

The wedding was soon over and everyone departed. I was walking with one of the maids so they could show me to my room when Alpha Devin stopped us.

“My Chambers, Now!” He ordered and the maids including me turned as we all made our way to his chambers.

Confused, I watched as they pulled my clothes off and only left me with an undergarment before leaving me alone in the room.

I sat on the chair as I patiently waited for Alpha Devin, I had no idea what was about to happen or why I was being left alone in the room.

The door opened and he walked in, shutting the door behind him, I watched as he pulled his shirt off and I gulped down spit as I took in every of his figure.

His back was perfectly built, every muscle revealing as he flexed and when he turned to face me, my jaw dropped at once.

I marveled at the breadth of his shoulders, his hard chest was a work of art and I felt the urge to press my hands against it while I ran my finger down his body.

“Pull off the underwear.” He said and not waiting for a second order, I pulled off my underwear so that I was now standing naked in front of him.

My nipples got hard the moment he stepped in front of me and his chest felt marvelous against my breast. Tracing his fingers down from my face to my nipples, he twirled his fingers around it and nibbled with it before placing his mouth on it and sucked hungrily.

The feeling was one like never before, I felt a drip between my legs and I rubbed my thighs hard against each other, my knees were weak and I had no idea how long I could stand for.

Just when I was still thinking, Alpha Devin, stopped sucking on my breast and wrapping his palm around my neck he moved me till I fell on the bed.

He placed his hard weight on me and it wasn’t long until I felt something hard make its way inside my pussy. It was painful at first but it soon became pleasurable.

I let out a moan of pain and pleasure as I tugged on the sheets and closed my eyes while he thrusted deep and hard inside me, every ounce of him filling me up and leaving me yearning for more.

Maybe after this, he’ll retract his statement and make me his mate again.
