My Merciless Alpha Mate

Chapter 8 + bonus

Luna Athina

N.B. An incredibly long chapter. Sorry for not updating since forever, also a late New Year's present (bonus) towards the end. I love you my wonderful readers!

Zayden's P.O.V.

My eyes followed her every move as she wandered down the steps to her parents. A gorgeous angel walking gracefully for all to see. While her eyes met were in mine, she soon turned away the determination that laid within though, it was undeniable. I was only fooling myself if I said, she was only playing; holding onto the grudge. Something else burned with those obsidian eyes, something that takes for than just watching to find out.

Not even as she spoke to her parents did my eyed turn away, my gaze on her, watching the movements of her lips as she spoke, the ways her eyes wandered, and the rise and down of her chest as she breathed. Her had taken attention by merely doing nothing but talk and walk.

She didn't play out nothing, she showed no form of seduction and yet she had absorbed my attention; hypnotising me with her beauty.

A part me was amazed by the simplicity of her ways to grab my attention, the other growled; a rising an anger through me that couldn't understand why the mate bond was so powerful to draw out foreign emotions within me.

Holding up some form resistance, I pulled my gaze away from her and found myself walking towards the bar.

Watching the honey-coloured liquid fill the crystal glass, my head was once again filled with thoughts of my dark-eyed beauty.

I sighed, feeling a hand place itself on my shoulder. The stinking perfume reached my senses almost letting out a growl from deep within my throat as it blocked out the intoxicating scent roses and lilies.

"Alpha Anderson..you never let me finish." The b*tich whispered into my ear in a tone of deep seduction as she daringly wrap her arms around my shoulders.

"And I gave you the reason." I stated simply, taking a drink or two.

"She doesn't have to know.." Her seductive tone whispered, as she ran her hands down my chest and pulling my back closer to her breasts.

A low menacing growl ripped through my throat before I grabbed her red hair in my hands pulling it, but hard enough to her the last ans final warning, "I stand by what I said. Take it or you'll find yourself in the same fate of countless others who've disobeyed me."

Whimpers left her mouth as the sl*t tried to break free from my hold, "Understood?"

"Y-Yes Alpha! I'm sorry!"

Allowing her hair free from my grip, I walked away no longer able to take the fragrance she wore.

With the crystal glass in my hand, my eyes wandered the room wanting spot my little mate in deep red.

Following her scent that lingered the room, I saw her gracefully move in steps as Jackson lead her. While I knew he had something but respect for his future Luna, the unexplainable anger rushed me, wanting to practically rip him apart limp by limp for even daring to touch her.

When Jackson noticed my scowl, he only smirked, daring me silently to grab hold my little mate. While I held back, I already knew...it was a battle I was loosing to.

Placing my glass back onto the counter, I walked forward; my feet slammed against the marble floors, my eyes all on one figure that was twirled closing her eyes in a bliss, before I grabbed hold of her waist and hand, and glaring at the man who was next in line to grab hold of my mate in a dance. He scurried away quickly enough, just in time for me to look back as her eyelids opened to reveal her dark pearls that reflected everything, but holding so much light...a concept I never understood.
