Bound

11. I slapped the Alpha from Hell.

" Sometimes it's not the butterflies that tell you, you're in love. But the pain."

Chapter 11

I slapped the Alpha from hell.

Sierra's POV

So when I heard stories of Alpha Maximus, I kind of had this mental picture of him looking like he lived in the woods and would probably have a ton of scars on his face, due to all the fights and wars he had been in. I expected him to be... Well. Barbaric.

What I didn't expect him to be was this really hot guy, the kind of guy you crossed the streets in hope of him just glancing at you. Yeah. He was that  hot.

He was a good inch or two taller than Jake, and as built as Chase. He had dark brown hair, almost black and stunning grey eyes. It reminded me of Crystals. Fragile and beautiful. I guess his civilized manner and Armani suit caught me off guard and my surprise was probably evident on my face since, my mother nudged me a little.

I chuckled nervously, my eyes never leaving his.

"Hi... Yes. I'm Sierra." I said, smiling at him and offering my hand for him to shake.

Did I, Sierra Jacobs just offer a hot guy a hand to shake?

Gosh Sierra pull yourself together.

When he shook my hand, I could practically hear myself swooning.

"Why don't you show Alpha Maximus around?" My mother said, beaming. Way to be subtle mum.

"Yes. That's a good idea." Alpha Wes said, all of them leaving.

Queue to the awkwardness.

As I took him into the woods, he didn't exactly strike up a conversation, his face expressionless.

I didn't exactly know how people kept their emotions down like that. I was pretty dramatic. Not emotional. Dramatic.

"So... how do you like Riverdale?" I asked him, to make it less awkward. And also trying to remember the way around the forest. Truth be told, I wasn't a wolf so I didn't exactly know my way around. Which was what I was going to tell him, when he interrupted.

"Do you know where we're going?" he asked, looking around.

"Not really. I don't know my way around the woods. Usually Chase, the head warrior takes me around. But he's with..." I began to explain but he cut me off.

"The head warrior chauffeurs you around? The head warrior is supposed to be securing patrol lines and safe guarding the pack. Not chauffer around a human." He said, his face still expressionless but his a voice a little disgusted.

"He guides me. Or finds me, if I'm lost. He doesn't chauffer me." I said glaring at him, my arms across my chest.

Confrontational. That's another thing I was. Incredibly confrontational.

He scoffed.

"Well don't expect that in my pack. Each and every member have their own duties and responsibilities. We don't have time to send out a search party for some human." He said, scowling at me.

How DARE he?I gave out a breath of disbelief.

"What makes you think, that after this conversation..." I said pointing between us

"...I even want to mate with you?" I asked him, giving him a disbelieving look.

I wasn't going to be walked all over by some guy – Alpha or not – he didn't have any right to talk to me that way.

"Well, I didn't think you had a choice. Neither of us do. It's a mating of convenience. A business deal, if you may." He said, ever so casually, surprising me.

"Maybe. But what about years from now? We're just going to be stuck together. Then what? And then what about when you need an heir? What then?" I asked folding my arms and looking at him, smugly.

"Look. I'm going to Claim you. That's all. After the ceremony of cutting any previous ties, we'll be Bound. But not mated. After a few years if we still don't want each other we'll just break the bound." He explained, with a shrug.

"Yeah... I don't think it works that way." I said, looking at him like he was crazy. Hot guys could never be sane, could they?

"Well, I've been told that a lot growing up. Trust me when I say, I do things that usually aren't done." He said, shrugging.

Well the smug son of a bitch!

"I'm not some sort of business deal! You're immortal, after you're done with this 'deal' between our packs, you can still start over. I can't. " I hissed.

"You can't or you won't?" he said, giving me a look.

"Won't! I'm not that selfless." I said, quite frankly.

"Clearly." He muttered under his breath.

"Excuse me?" I asked him, what the hell did he mean by that?

"I said CLEARLY. Are you seriously going to let your family and friends die because you're not self-less? Without our packs helping each other, a lot of people are going to die. but you don't want to start over? Well okay. That makes sense. Looking at you, maybe your parents should've been a little more selfish when they raised you." he said giving me an annoyed look.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I hissed.

" I mean your outfit is probably...What a 1000 dollars? Those nails? Gosh. I don't understand human fascination with long nails. And your makeup. How long did you take to do that an hour?" he asked, pinpointing to everything as he spoke.

"What. Does. That. Have. Anything.To. Do. With. Anything?" I asked, fuming.

"Well, I'll pay for all that and more as long as we're bound. Save you the trouble."

"Are you saying I'm dependent and high maintenance?" I asked him. The nerve of this guy.

"No. I'm saying you're dependent and a gold- digger. I mean you don't mind taking your stuff from your parents and spending all their money. They probably bust their asses for you, irrespective of the fact that you were born into wealth. And yet, when they need... not want. Need, even though you also gain a lot from this arrangement, you choose to walk away. Typical really. What more could I expect from humans? They have no sense of loyalty or what standing together means. Ever so materialistic. I mean you really are a bitch, to turn your back on your parents like that." He said, looking me straight in the eye.

Queue to my second mistake of the night.

I wasn't exactly responsible for what happened next, I shouldn't have done what I did before storming off, but I couldn't help it. It was like every single cell in my body wanted this.

I slapped him across the face, my three hundred dollar nails leaving a small mark.

Yup.

I slapped the Alpha from hell.

Or of  Hell.

I  couldn't care less.
