Call me Alpha

Chapter 5: The Encounter

His tight grip hurts my arm, making me flinch along with his dragging. I don't know where we're headed but we had passed the stairs, walking the hallway of the second floor.

The loud sound of the music from the party didn't offset my heartbeat. Having him this close made every hair in my body stand, giving me such a newfangled feeling.

I am relieved I found my mate but his powerful aura keeps making my knees tremble. I'm not okay with it but my traitor wolf is already submitting to his.

'Stop being submissive! He hasn't claimed us yet!' I nagged at my wolf but she just shrugged me off, I growled.

"I-I can walk!" I tried to make my voice tough but it came out in a whisper. I growled to myself, continuously nagged at my wolf.

Aiden turned his head and looked at me, he didn't stop walking nor let my arm go. His expression is somewhat in the middle of confusion and anger. I can't see his eyes clearly because of the dimmed lights but I'm sure it's not red anymore. His wolf has calmed. A bit.

No words came out from him until we reached the double doors where I assumed was his office. He kicked the door open and harshly pulled me inside.

His office was dark, only a small light from the desk lamp brighten the room a bit.

My breath is hitched and air left my lungs when he pushed me on the wall, trapping me with his arms placed at my sides.

"How dare you flirt with my Beta in front of my people!" He growled. He was not screaming but his voice has raised its tone, enough to convey his anger. His hardened expression didn't help to calm me. I started cowering under his glare, wanted to sink myself on the wall behind me.

Wait. What did he just say?

Flirting?!

I've never flirt my whole life for him to easily judge me without the slightest hesitation!

I felt the rage of fire build inside of me, I started to look at him straight in his soul. Waiving my stupid wolf who's not even bothered by this guys' words!

Aiden being my mate won't change the fact that I'll never let anyone outsmart me with their petty accusations! I've had enough experience judgment from my former pack. Now that I know I'll belong to his pack, I'll never let anyone judge me again. Not even him!

"I'm not flirting with Nick!" My defiant voice shocked him, caught him off guard for a second before growling at me. Opposed to the feisty behavior that I'm sure he's unaccustomed with. I don't care! He pushed me to feel this irritated.

His stare turned deadly than it already is. With a dark face, he growled at me trying to scare my resistance away.

"You danced with him in everyone's presence including me." He emphasized the last words expecting me to see his point.

I denied understanding his reasoning. He can't blame me for something I did not intend to do! And for God's sake, I just danced with Nick without any motive to anger Aiden! Hell, I don't even know I have a mate earlier!

"If you'd stepped forward to me then I'll know you're my mate! You could've been the one I'm dancing with!"

I regret how the last sentence sounds when it came out. I seemed needy and wanted to have a dance with him. Or so how I thought.

Aiden's face softened. The dim light from the lamp gleamed his eyes. A shade of golden brown eyes focused on mine, making me quiver.

I'm drowning in his gaze, fighting my wolf as she tried to take control of the situation.
