The Alpha's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 339: A NEW MATE BOND

”Hey.” She repeated in anger and frustration as he rubbed off the wound on her arm.

But he simply ignored her and kept on rubbing on her wound.

Then all of a sudden he stopped and twisted her arm to take a closer look at her injury.

”You’re hurting me!” She cried. And then she grabbed her arm free from his grip.

”Why are you being so violent!”

He eyed her, his eyes blazing with fire.

”You said you and Jasmine were kidnapped that’s how you got the injuries didn’t you?” He asked.

She rolled her eyes. ”Yes I did. So what?”

”Those injuries are not consistent with you being captured. Those are injuries that you would have if you hit a force. They are bruises.”

Her face grew red when she realized that she had been caught.

She started to stutter. ”That’s none of your business!”

She hurriedly covered her arm.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

”But you see it is my business!” He hissed in anger. ”It is my business when you go around telling lies to Xaden. I don’t even have a problem when you lie to him. I have a problem when you lie to put Jasmine in trouble. And that is all you do.”

She scoffed at him. ”So what now? Are you in love with her? You want to sniff her unshifted pussy.”

He growled at her and she whimpered like a puppy.

”You have a smart mouth.” Eric said. ”I don’t believe in beating women, but for you I would make an exception.”

”You wouldn’t.” She said even though deep down she suspected that he would.

”Watch and see.” He promised her.

That completely scared her and she remained quiet.

Then all of a sudden she heard other wolves transforming and howling.

It was a new moon and then moon was now up in the dark sky.

She turned and saw Erik howling and soon she too was howling.

She felt herself turning to her wolf without even giving herself the permission to.

It was like something was doing it to her.

She howled and howled and went down to him.

He had not changed to his own wolf, but she felt compelled to him.

His scent was different and she felt possessive over him.

He growled in his human form at her and his eyes locked with hers.

Then she turned back to her human form.

Immediately she knew.

Erik was her mate and they had just bonded.

She looked up at him wondering if he was going to say anything at all to her.

He simply walked to his make shift bed and picked up one of his shirts before flinging it right at her face.

She caught it, cautious of her nudity.

He still said nothing, with his hand in his waist as he paced the room.

She quietly wore the shirt as her other clothes had been ruined when she had involuntarily transformed.

Never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would be his mate.

It pleased her because she knew that she was already falling in love with Erik.

”You’re my mate.” She finally had the voice to say.

”Fuck.” He swore as he resumed pacing the room.

She managed a smile. ”This is a good thing for both us. We have a responsibility to each other and-

He pressed his forehead and held a hand up.

”I don’t mean to disrespect you, but I’m not ready to be anyone’s mate.” He said.

She looked confused. ”You’re supposed to be happy all these years you have gone without a mate and finally we have found each other.”

”You’re not my first mate.” He said.

She felt a stab in her chest at the impact of those words.

She had heard stories of people who had had second chance mates.

It was rare because getting your first mate was already hard enough.

Now finding another.

She stared at him blankly. ”I have never had a mate. You are my first.”

”And you are not mine.” He said harshly.

Anna swallowed very hard.

He was being so mean to her.

This was supposed to be their happy moment, discovering that they were destined for each other.

He used his fingers to massage his foreheads.

”I’m going to have to reject you Anna.” He said.

It was like a slap right across her face.

She felt her knees go week and her voice suddenly feel hoarse.

Her head began to spin and she felt like she was going to be sick.

”I am not ready for the responsibility of having a mate. I already swore that I would never accommodate another mate.” He said. ”You are too young for me.”

Anna felt her world crumbling right before her.

She had never in her life expected such.

”You’re my Alpha’s little sister. New found. Enjoy the time you have with him. I am not the man for you.” He said.

”You are such an asshole.” She blurted out angrily.

”You are angry and I understand that. But trust me when I say this Anna. I am not the man for you.”

”You are indirectly telling me that I am not the woman for you.” She stated.

He paused for a short while.

”Is that what you are trying to say to me?” She asked him hoping he would decline.

He sighed heavily. ”Yes.”

It felt like she been murdered over and over again.

”Just say it. Say the reason why you don’t want me is because you want Jasmine.” She said.

He hardly even blinked at those words. ”What?”

”You think I don’t see how you look at her? How your eyes follow her all around?” She asked him. ”You think I don’t see it?”

”You don’t know what you’re saying?” He snapped at her.

She turned around and started to walk out of the tent.

He followed her and was about to grab her arm.

”Let me go!” She spat and she ran out of the tent.
