LOUISA.
“You have got to be kidding me!” Dominic snarls as I stand at the entrance, frozen in terrified shock.
This is a nightmare.
I knew that whoever my mate would be wouldn't be happy about it but I didn't think it would be Dominic, the Alpha.
“How in the goddess’s name does this make sense?!” he continues. “You can't even shift into your wolf? How are you my mate?!”
“I am so- sorry,” I stuttered, head bowed to avoid his gaze. “I didn't- I am-”
“Enough! Goddess, you are pathetic. What was the goddess thinking? Pairing me up with you?” he mutters as he runs his hands through his hair.
I stay silent, unable to answer.
Honestly, I am wondering the same too. Why would I be paired with Dominic? The man hates me with a passion.
“Why are you still here?” he snaps at me.
“I am sorry!” I exclaim as I quickly look up, only to see the look of pure unadulterated loathing on his face. “You… you called for me… I don’t-”
“Ugh,” he groans as he walks towards me pushing me out of the way and heading out the door. “Weak and disgusting.”
I stare at his back until he vanishes before I let out a sigh of breath.
“What now?” I mutter to myself.
Dominic Valor, Alpha of the Obsidian pack has always hated my guts. Ever since I came to live with his family.
My parents had died in battle, defending the pack from an enemy attack and the previous Alpha had taken me in as a means to honour them.
Dominic never liked that.
He didn't see the reason for doing that as it was every wolf’s duty to defend the pack and if they died doing so, even more honourable.
The fact that I was the weakest person in the pack and who still didn't have a wolf didn't help matters.
He resents me.
Resented the fact that I was weak and yet still had a good life.
Something he made sure to destroy once his father passed away.
From living a sheltered but comfortable life to one filled with misery and insults.
From a protected orphan to an overworked slave.
Everyone’s dumping ground.
A waste of space.
And now…
Now, I am mated to him?
Where is the logic in that?
What am I going to do now?
“He is going to kill me.”
I stand there, still at the entrance of his office, unsure of what to do.
If he comes back and finds that I left without his orders, there will be hell to pay.
If he comes back and finds me here, still being pathetic and useless when there is a whole lot of work to do in the pack, there will still be hell to pay.
There is no good choice here.
I stand there for a few minutes, debating and running through different scenarios in my head before deciding to leave.
It's not like my staying would make any difference.
He will still find a way to make himself miserable.
