Chapter 7

Everyone looked as if they held their breath as the Alpha walked towards us taking a seat. 

“Thanks for earlier, Alpha Logan. I enjoyed every moment of mine with you.” I shot Eve a disgusting look as the words rolled off her thin lips. 

How comfortable was she talking about their sex stuff in front of everyone. 

“No problem.” Alpha Logan hissed, his deep baritone voice sounding cold.

Eve stared at me, twisting her lips in a mischievous way. I knew she wanted to get on my nerves but I wasn't going to allow her.

“Just ignore her, she's always fond of doing that to anyone she thinks is in love with the Alpha.” Rita rolled her eyes, obviously tired of Eve's drama.

She was the only friend I've made since I arrived here and we were also pretty close too. I guess it's because we are of the same age. She came here as a slave captured during one of the wars between her pack and the Northridge pack. 

“...I was supposed to be sold off to an old man but I got captured and I found love in the Beta Xavier.” I could still remember the glimmer of happiness that shone in her eyes as she narrated the story. 

“Excuse me,” I scoffed. “I am not in love with the alpha.” 

Who will want to be in love with such a wicked being? I thought to myself. 

“But you'll be the one to bear him pups…” 

I interrupted her, “Don't forget I'm just his breeder and not his lover.” I rolled my eyes, gulping down the remaining content left in my teacup.

“If you say so.” Rita shrugged, standing up from the chair. 

Pulling her by the wrist, I whispered, “Where do you think you're going?”  I was not ready for her to leave me all alone with the dreadful alpha. 

“To my room ofcourse.” A mischievous smile on her lips. She stood up and walked out, holding Beta Xavier's hands fondly. The scene filled my heart with warmth as I watched them walk away. 

When will I find my fated love too?

“Freya!!!” I jolted in my seat. The Alpha's Cold voice sent shivers down my spine. 

Squaring my shoulders, I stared at him. “Yes?” 

“How have you been?” He asked, without looking up from his food. Why was he asking? I was surprised at the sudden familiarity with which he asked the question. Eve's eyes glared angrily. A mischievous thought crossed my mind. She was going to get pissed off really soon.

“Oh fine. I've been thinking for a while now, if you still aren't ready for us to start bearing pups?” Smirking, I turned to see Eve bawling her fists. Her lips were twisted into a pout but I cared less. She had no fucking rights to try to intimidate me. I was in zero competition with her.

Logan's eyes widened with shock. He stared at me like I had just said an abominable word. 

“We'll discuss this privately.” He coughed. “Meet me in my room by seven pm.” He said before walking out.

“Sure.” I shouted after him, steepling my fingers. I was waiting for Eve's outburst and she didn't disappoint me.

“What the hell was that for?” 

“Huh! What did you say?” I was fully ready for her at the moment.

“What do you think you're doing? Trying to lure the Alpha into your pants?” I bit my lower lips and gave a chuckle. I was not ready to fight, not now, not anytime soon.

“You know what eve, why don't you sit your ass down and think of doing something better with your life?” 

“You will never have the alpha, Freya.” 

“Well who needs him anyway. You can have him. But still I'll be the one to bear his pups.” I was enjoying the conversation. Seeing her pissed off gave me a satisfaction I didn't want to fade away soon.

“So much for someone who was sold by her father for being worthless, so much for a wolf-less piece of shit.” 

This time, I was raving mad but I tried to keep my cool.

“Woah! Chill, everyone. What the hell is wrong with you both? Freya, come with me.” Samantha had gotten up immediately. I could take all the insults in the world but not one about being sold to the alpha or being called worthless. 

***

“So you said you don't want me?” Logan's breath caressed my neck as he leaned in forward, pinning me against the wall. I arrived at his room exactly at seven pm. I wanted to tell him I was only making a joke back then at the tea party and I only did that because of Eve's nasty behavior. 

 “I-i was only trying to put Eve in her place. She's trying so hard to make it obvious that you both are sleeping together…”

Maybe I shouldn't have said that. Logan pinned me harder to the wall, his eyes widened. His arm was on my throat, suffocating me.

“Where did you hear that from?” His voice was husky. 

I was taken aback for a second. Fear crept into me, making me shudder at his sight. “Almost everyone says it and also Eve, she kinda portrays such.”

I wish I never let such sensitive information out. I was scared the alpha might get angry at Eve for snitching on him.

I was wheezing at this point and tried pulling his hands away. “You're choking me, Alpha Logan.” I managed to say.

He released me and I collapsed on the floor, breathing hard. 

“Nothing of such is going on between Eve and I.” Logan finally said, extending his hand towards me. 

I stared at him in confusion as he pulled me up from the floor. “But everyone says such.”

Without saying anything else, he walked out, his feet hitting the floor hard, signalling his presence. 

Where is he going? What is he going to do? 

I ran after him as fast as my legs could. I felt something bad was going to happen and I needed to stop it.
