You are mine

I stood there rooted at one spot, staring at Alpha Damon like I had seen a ghost. What I heard about him is nothing like him.

He precisely said it, he wants me to be his mistress! But why? I thought he would take me away and turn me into a slave whom he could slay at his will.

"Are you not going to say something? Will you prefer being a maid instead?" he probed.

As extensively as any female wolf doesn't want to come close to Alpha Damon because of how ruthless he is, no one will turn down the request to be his mistress.

To us, being his mistress is comparable to being the Luna of the Sea Moon Pack since there is no one presently occupying the seat.

I am scared of this well-built man standing in front of me, becoming his mistress comes with a lot of detriments.

It will mean that I will do whatever he wants me to, my body will become his and because of that, I will answer his call whenever he wants me without daring to refute him.

"If you do not want to be my mistress, you will become more of a slave by being my maid" Alpha Damon lingered.

He growled and straightened his back impatiently.

"Your smell draws me to you which is why I am making this proposal to you" he mumbled

I felt as though my mouth was sealed, I couldn't say anything. I was afraid to.

The look in his eyes wasn't that unnerving but it was sufficient to send chills down my crest, the type I have never felt before.

"You should know that I won't be so kind to you if you are my maid, I will devour your body in a way you won't be able to handle and designate you a workload you will prefer dying than doing,

I will consume you, your life at the tower will be worse than the life you've lived so far. You can ask the maids when we get there" he squeezed, his face devoid of any emotion.

There was no smile on his face as he said those words to me. That might sound to others like he is trying to convince me to be his mistress but not to me.

I could see the fierceness and fire in his eyes, he meant it. If he was going to threaten me, why did he make the proposition?

I stared at him in bewilderment, unsure of what was going through his mind. I couldn't hide the fact that I was intimidated by him, his aura, his voice and his appearance, everything scared me. It was evident in how taken aback I looked

"But if you become my mistress, I will give you a princess treatment, I will protect you from any harm and kill anyone who tries to hurt you in any way. I will be your shield and shelter" he convinced.

My lips quivered while staring at him, for the third time, we made eye contact.

I couldn't explain the expression on his face but I could tell that his eyes were laced with desire for what I was not sure of.

I clasped my hands together in front of me, lost in my thoughts. Just a few minutes ago, he was menacingly threatening me and now, he said he would protect me.

For a moment, I couldn't think properly. It will be a good thing if I take the position of Alpha Damon's mistress, no one will look down on me anymore, and my uncle and his family will want to be good to me.

I will have a little power in my hand. I will also be unrestricted to go wherever I want, of course with Alpha Damon's permission.

Things could turn out well to be in my favor but I have my fears.

I looked away from him uncomfortably, terrified that he might burst into anger and strangle me if I do not agree to his request while he is still being nice to me.

"I will listen to your request if you have any" he voiced as if he read my mind. I do have something to say but I am afraid it will get him mad.

My wolf wiggled her tails in the back of my head, urging me to speak.

"1 year" I clamored out before I could stop myself while I left him goggling at me in mystification.

"1 year?" he repeated.

"I...will be turning 18 by next year" I intermittently paused trying to see his reaction. When he didn't say anything, I continued.

"Can we end the deal when I turn 18 and find my mate?" I stuttered and took a few steps back. He could end up pressing my neck if my question gets on his nerves.

I have endured a lot of hardships for many years, dying is the last thing I want right now. I don't want to die, my parents died early, it will be a waste of lineage if I die just like them.

A minute passed and I didn't hear anything from Alpha Damon whose eyes were boring holes into me. I wish I could read his mind to know what he is intently thinking about.

Is it on how he will kill me without leaving any trace behind or is he trying to consider my offer? I hope it'll be the latter.

After a while, Alpha Damon came closer to me and for the first time, he smiled. He has deep dimples on his cheeks and seeing him smile made my heart flutter for unknown reasons.

This man is dangerous yet, I am being intoxicated by just his smile! His hand went into my hair as he straightened some that were scattered on my face.

He moved further to pat my hair with the smile not disappearing from his face. I have always heard that Alpha Damon is more like a monster who hasn't smiled for three years after the loss of his Luna.

He is the same person standing right in front of me, smiling like he just caught a huge prey. He is nothing like people describe him to be.

"I will agree to your condition but I will let you go only if you find your mate. If you don't find him on the full moon of your birthday, I won't let you go" he uttered and stepped back, putting his hands behind his back.

"Until then, you are mine, Olivia. Your body, your soul, everything belongs to me. You were bought by me after all" he deadpanned.

I crinkled my forehead together on hearing what he just stated. I was bought by him? What does he mean by that?
