Wolves // Harry Styles

Chapter 4

Rosalie's head was swimming as she looked at the man, in awe of how the hell this happened. This beautiful man, who she was being forced to be with, was her mate. It was almost like she was dreaming and if she pinched herself she would wake up in the car, on her way.

But the tingling sensation of her hand that was held in his confirmed that no, this was all too real. And he looked at her as if he was feeling the same.

Harry was... ecstatic. Beyond it really. It wouldn't be so bad, if this was his true mate. Yes, it was forced but now that he had his beautiful mate right here, he sure as hell wasn't going to let her go. She stared up at him and he felt like he was holding himself back from jumping on top of her and claiming her.

"I know you have questions. And I am more than happy to answer them." He said quietly. Rosalie was shook out of her trance, eyes snapping back and looking at her hand that was still with his. Oh yeah, she had a lot of fucking questions. More than she could even fathom at all.

"Um... I guess I'll start with, how long until the mating ceremony? And, what you expect of me. Because- I'm not a perfect little housewife and I really hope you don't expect me to be at your feet all the time." She said with a bit of attitude, which both surprised and slightly aroused Harry. His mate didn't take shit, which he loved.

"No, I don't expect that. I expect you to be a good pack mother, go to meetings with me, dinners and trips. I need an heir, and someone to help me with...stress. But I really hope we can build a good relationship." Harry's thumb smoothed over the back of her hand, voice soothing her back into a relaxed position.

"The mating ceremony? Well, the ceremony I wanted you to have a part in planning." A small lie. At first he had planned a basic ceremony with no large flowers or reception but... this was his /real/ mate. And the thought of not having the absolute best for her made his wolf growl at him.

"I have the basic parts down. The place and elder to administer it. But you can choose the flowers and foods, the decorations. I can help if you want but I know that most of the time the female likes to choose." He said carefully, but Rosalie's smile made him relax.

She was pleased that he actually wanted her input. However, she wasn't going to just jump into this. She wouldn't sleep in his bed tonight or fall right into his arms. He had to work for her affection.

"I appreciate that. But..." a deep breath was taken, before she backed away from him a bit. "I don't want to rush into this. I wasn't ready yet- to meet my mate. I came here thinking I'd be forced to mate someone who didn't care for me and I'll be honest, I still am on edge." Harry growled which made her wince, but it was silenced as soon as he saw it.

Why was she so hesitant? She had just been in his arms, and now she was backing up and claiming she didn't want to rush? It angered him slightly. More so frustrated him and his wolf because they had waited so, so long for it.

"I-" he paused as she looked away from him, almost like she was afraid of his reaction but wanted to act defiant. "I understand where you're coming from. I was feeling similarly, but we're /mates/. I've waited years, Rosalie." Her name slipping from his tongue had her shivering just a bit.

"I've been so patient. So sad for so long and you honestly expect me to wait? I want you in my bed and with me at all times." His voice was to the point, very stern and by the way she stiffened up and the glare she sent, he could tell she didn't like it. "Don't look at me like that. I'm you're alpha now. You will respect me as such."

That's what did it for Rosalie. The false hope of having a nice mating WHERE they were equal and he treated her as a wolf instead of a possession, shattered. His alpha voice, and his words slightly burned her chest and made her remember why she didn't want this, or to mate any alpha in the first place.

Standing up she crossed the room and went to the door. "I am not someone you will order around. Should have known mating an alpha, I'd be treated like some possession or something. Having this hope of an equal relationship was stupid of me. I will /not/ be in your bed tonight, and if you act like this, ever. I'm not someone to order around and I am no toy. I am going to my room now, and I don't want to be disturbed." She said with a hissed, before the loud slam of the wooden door could be heard through the home.

Well, shit.

Well she's a bit dramatic isn't she? Or do you think her response was right?
