Alpha Athena

chapter V - i own myself

It took me a moment to realize that I just pinned someone against the table. That someone was my mate.

Not that it mattered to me that he was my mate. But I forgot that we were suppose to have a meeting and that there was an audience infront of us.

I removed myself from him, stepping back from his figure. I straightened my clothes and cleared my throat. His beta infront of me looked stunned, his green eyes looked bewildered, as well as everyone else in the room.

"My apologies, Alpha Stone." I stated, but without an apologetic look, just the same old resting bitch face. I wasn't sorry for what I've done, he could've gotten more than just that, if he were to cross the line. That was my personal bubble. No one crosses it except in the field of battle.

Silence engulfed the four corners of the room as the Alpha infront me slowly recovered from his position on the table while eyeing me with a darkened expression. He never took his eyes away from me as he straightened his suit. His slicked black hair was now a heavenly mess. What? no. He ran his fingers through it to smoothen the mess. His hand traced the outline of his jaw where my arm came in contact with.

"This meeting has been moved." He declared, staring intently at me.

"We traveled all the way here to attend-" I tried to protest but he cut me off.

"Details of the next meeting shall be sent. Everyone is dismissed." He announced, turning to face the people infront, a tone of authority seething from his voice. His face looked calm, but his eyes said it all. He looked pissed. I know that look. It was the same look I would have, everytime I try to suppress my anger.

'Let's get out of here.' I mindlinked Reyna. She agreed.

Everyone stood up and dispersed from the room, some even grumbling about the time wasted to travel here. We also turned on our heels and followed them, but a hand suddenly caught my elbow sending a jolt of electricity throughout my body. A small gasp escaped my lips at the point of contact.

"Except you." He said quietly, as I feel his presence behind.

He was infront of me in an instant. Just a few inches away that my nose was facing his neck. Even in my 5'11 height wearing heels, he towered over me and it was impossible not to notice the scent of his aftershave. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked with a deep and husky voice.

"It's none of your business." I hissed, pulling my arm away and stepping back from him.

"You are my mate..." His eyes narrowed as he moved closer to me. "And you are my business." He growled lowly.

"Just because the Moon Goddess destined me to be your mate doesn't give you the right to own me." I spatted, glaring at him. I could see him clenched his jaw in frustration, yet his face had the same unchanging dark expression.

I continued my way to the door but he caught me in an instant, snaking his hands behind me, and his arms were immediately around my hips. Electricity ran all over my body as he placed his head on the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent. My wolf sighed as our bodies collided and I stood there frozen in place.

I was highly aware of the fact that both our betas were witnessing this intimate moment. This intimate moment that I surely did not approved of. This man does not know the definition of personal space. And it was an insult and ultimate downgrade in my part as an Alpha to see myself getting harassed by this person infront of my beta.

"Hmm." He sighed, as he nuzzled his face into my neck, feeling his hot breath on my skin. He breathe my scent once again and I feel him smirk behind me.

"Judging from your scent, you're still untouched." He whispered behind my ear. Heat rose up to my cheeks and I forced myself not to be overcome by this stupid mate pull.

It was impossible. Goosebumps started crawling my skin as he held me closer to him, tightening his grip around my waist. "I want you all to myself."

That was it. That was the last straw. No one owns me.

I turned around with his arms still around my waist, and came face to face with him. He stared at me with those hazel eyes and an expectant look written all over his face. He probably thought I'd give in that easily?

Anger slowly crept into my veins and clouded my mind. What an asshole this man was? My hands made its way to his chest and his breathing became uneven. My palms settled on the lapel of his suit and I leaned over to his ear.

"Listen here and listen close." I pulled him closer to me so my lips touched his ear. "I own myself, not yours, not anyones." I spoke every word through gritted teeth.

With a blink of an eye, I pushed him hard on the chest that sent him flying across the room. He knocked over a couple of office chairs and I didn't bother to look what his reaction was.

With a nod at Reyna, she understood that we needed to leave immediately. We bolted out of the room, pressing the elevator button repeatedly. The doors opened and we got in with a sigh of relief.

"You know he's gonna come after you, right?" Reyna asked, as she leaned against the wall, a troubled look on her face.

"Let him be." I replied, not denying the fact that my heart was beating out my chest. Not because I was scared, but because of the close proximity I made with him, making my wolf whine at the absence of his touch.

We made it safely to my car and I stomped down the gas pedal, speeding away and escaping from my sexually frustrated mate.
