The Alphas Mermaid Princess

Trust?

Merinas P.O.V

I sigh as I look out the broken window into the forest surrounding the house.It was massive and it was very green,But In a way it was also very calming.I could hear all the sounds of nature from the smell of the sweet pine trees just like when I was younger.

I look at the large room around me as a million thoughts cross my mind.What am I doing?I shouldn't be here.I should be trying to escape.But something inside of me is telling me to stay and accept this forced fate that was put upon me.

Ryder does not know what he has gotten himself into.there is so much about me that he does not know,dangerous secrets and details that I don't know if I trust him enough to know just yet.

I have too much going on as it is and having Ryder kidnap me is just too much too deal with.I felt like I was struggling to breathe.

What is this life I was given?And why me?!

My thoughts and worries were interrupted when the scent of pine needles,cologne,and sweet sweet peppermint hit my nostrils,my mates scent.

I turned around to see my Mate with a towel
Tight around his waist leaving me to see his
Muscular upper body.Hes very fit and very large,I had lost my train of thought quickly and I knew it was this stupid mating bond.it had brought out the animal instincts from deep within.

Ryder smirks and I notice the stubble on his chiseled jaw.

"You can take a picture and it will last longer"He says in a cocky tone

I scoff and divert my eyes away from his in denial

I hear shuffling in the room as Ryder walks towards me

I quickly stumbled back as he corned me

"It's okay to look darling"he says seductively into my ear as my breathe hitches and I shut my eyes

"You can even touch too"he whispers as he grabs my wrist and brings my hand up to his six pack

My hands meet his hunk of a body and I inwardly gasp from the sparks that electrified every inch of my body,his skin is so warm I just wanted to lay against him

After snapping myself out
Of his trance I pull my hand away and turn from him and cross my arms

"Stop it!!!I say trying to shake off what had just happened ,trying my best to control my lust that this stupid bond had forced me to feel"Put some clothes on when you are in my presence""I shout offended by his lack of respect

I hear him chuckle"I'm your mate,and this"he motions to his body"It's all
For you sweet heart"he smirks cockily as I feel the hair on my neck stand

He leans into me so his lips are brushing over my ears"remember That"He whispers  as I shut my eyes

I roll my eyes"As if"i scoff

I hear him chuckle and with loud footsteps walking away from me

I sigh and turn around fiddling with my hair anxiously

"Ryder"I say after a few minutes

I hear some shuffling as he walks out of the closet and my eyes meet his light green eyes and I swear my heart fluttered

I look down to notice some grey pants hanging loosely around his waist line and I have to look back up into his eyes so I do not show my much denied desire

"Yes mate?"he says huskily

"I need to see my brothers"I say"Not tomorrow,but now"I say confidently

Ryder runs his hands along his stubbled chin
