Surprise! Remember Ascher's dream from Chapter 2?

A s c h e r

I can't see anything. I move my hands around, seeing if I can touch anything to give me a slight sense of where I might be - nothing. I smell.. an intoxicating scent of.. something.

"Are you scared, mate?"

"Mate?" I mutter, confused. Whoever this is, doesn't smell like Maddox. But smells so good all the same.

"Yes, mate. You are my mate, aren't you?"

"I.. I don't know.." this is the same dream from when I have yet to meet Maddox but Maddox is my mate now? 

The confusion makes my head pound even worse.

"Well, you're mine now, princess."

No, I will wake up soon and be in bed with..

We got into a car accident. This is real. 

This is real?

"MADDOX!!!!!" I scream louder and louder until the man's chuckle brings my screaming to a halt.

"What's funny? Who are you?"

"You're funny. I'm your mate." He comes forward showing me himself, a slight grin on his face. When our eyes meet, I feel it - the mate bond.

He reaches for my face, almost as if he's as dazed as I am but he stops himself and I see his tough facade subtly falter.

"Please let me go." I whimper, hoping it would work. 

He snaps off back to his tough demeanor. "You aren't going anywhere until you reject Maddox as your mate and accept me as yours."

At this, warm tears uncontrollably fall from my eyes. Reject Maddox? Accept this beautiful stranger? Beautiful?

"Where is he? Please let me talk to him."

"NO." By the way my body trembles, I recognize it.. he's an Alpha.

"A-a-are you.." he smirks, almost aware of what I'm about to say "A-A-Alpha X-Xavier?"

"Your one and only, love."

"W-Why would you b-be my m-mate.. too?"

"I am your only mate." I tilt my head in confusion.

"Maddox will come for me. I know it."

"Princess, you're unmarked. Even if he was ever truly your mate, you're still free for the taking now and you'll be mine very soon." I can't believe anything this man is saying, he's a dark Alpha. "As for Maddox coming, he can't, don't count on it. He's powerless here."

"You're lying."

"Suit yourself but I'd rather you be somewhere nicer than here.." he says, trying to be condescending but I don't fail to catch a hint of concern.

"Please, if you really think I'm your mate, give me my freedom." I try again.

"I don't think you're my mate." My mood brightens.

"I know you're my mate."

I remain silent.

"Until you call my name to choose and accept me, you'll remain here."

"You are not my mate."

"Here's your proof, love."

He reaches for my chin and I immediately feel the very same tingles I get from Maddox's touch. Looking in my eyes, he leaves a sweet little peck on my lips. 

Fireworks.

He steps back from me, watching my face which must be in utter shock and confusion right now. 

"I'll leave you now. Let me know, princess." He turns around and before he opens the door, my mouth releases words I couldn't stop.

"I believe you."

I could almost hear his smirk even with his back towards me.

He turns, walking very slowly towards me. 

"Very good."


A l p h a  X a v i e r

"Get on your knees." I see the confusion still on her face but I need proof she believes that I'm her mate before she steps foot outside this chamber.

"W-why?" That's a cute stutter. Everything about her is mesmerising but she can't know she already has me wrapped around her pretty little finger. 

I need to be feared and obeyed. Things Maddox trades for his need to be loved. 

"Because I said so, and you believe I'm your mate, yes?" She catches on and slowly drops to her knees.

"Y-yes, Alpha X-Xavier." She says, eyes wide looking like a good girl as she looks up at me. 

I graze the side of her face with the back of my hand, admiring her submission.

"You will be cleaned up and collared then delivered to my room where I expect you'll kneel just like this, hands on your lap, head down and eyes closed by the foot of my bed. Do you understand?"

Her mouth can't help but frown and her eyes tear as she processes what I've said. My heart breaks at the sight but she'll realise this will be her new normal as she's now my mate. Whatever slow vanilla shit Maddox has her on won't be continued here.

I turn around, leaving her in the dark cold room by herself and closing the door behind me.  Am I being too harsh or sudden? I'm being the Alpha of Abyss.



Oooh he's bad, he's rough and he'll fuck you all around - it's X /clap /clap A /clap /clap V /clap /clap I /clap /clap E /clap /clap R /clap /clap X A V I E R, XAVIER!
