Outburst.

Lisa was curled up on the bed, trying her best not to cry. She had been devastated by what Adrien said, and even Liv wasn't taking it lightly. Lisa had never felt so down in her life. It was officially the worst day of her life. She had never had so many bad things happen to her in one day.

She let out a shaky breath as she heard a knock on the door. She got up to answer it. Behind the door was a warrior.

"The alpha has asked me to escort you to the dining room." He said and moved back to give her space to step out.

What the hell did he want from her now?

She sighed and stepped out of the room, closing the door. She looked around the house as she followed the guard. The house was big and looked very luxurious. It seemed like it was Alpha Adrien's house. She followed him down the stairs to the big living room. The place was huge. The dining room was right by the living room.

Alpha Adrien was now in her view, so she looked away to avoid looking at him. He was seated at the head of the dining table. The guard bowed to him as they got to the dining room, and left. She stood there, fiddling with the tip of her blouse, waiting for him to say something.

"Sit down." He ordered.

She moved to sit in the chair that was on the exact opposite side of him, far away from him.

The food was brought in immediately and placed in front of them. Lisa did not have any appetite. Immediately the maids left, Alpha Adrien dug into his food. She watched him as he took a bit and looked up.

"So, Lila. Can you tell me a little more about yourself, like your parents and what pack you're from?" He asked her, hoping to start a conversation.

Lisa, first of all didn't want to give out too much information, because she wasn't really a good liar, so the more he lied, sooner or later he would pick up the fact that she was lying. Second of all, she didn't feel like talking to him. He had just put her in a very depressed state of mind, and now he wanted to have a conversation with her. She was never one for small talk, so she ignored him.

Lisa scoffed as she looked down and picked up her fork. She played with the food in her plate. She didn't want Adrien to see the sad look on her face. Adrien was quietly waiting for her answer, till he figured out that he was getting none.

"I'm talking to you." His voice thundered across the room. Scared by his sudden outburst, Lisa looked up, her eyes wide. The frown on his face was deep. He had never had anyone blatantly ignore him like that before. Being the alpha of a pack, he received utmost really from everyone.

"You answer me when I'm talking to you and look straight at me. Don't think that because I was kind to you, then you can treat me like a fool. You may be my mate, but I won't hesitate to put you in your place if you don't behave yourself. " His fist hit the table so hard that all the plates and cutlery shook and a cup fell to the ground.

Lisa didn't let his outburst affect her. "Well, you may be my mate, but that doesn't give you a right over me. You are not my alpha and besides, you didn't accept me, so you can't run your mouth about us being mates." Lisa scoffed and Adrien was silently listening to her.

"I don't feel like having a conversation with you, is that too hard for you to understand?"

"You will not speak to me in that manner. I am the alpha of the land on which you stand, and you will respect me whether you like it or not." He stood up, the chair screeching as he pushed it back with his legs.

"I have no reason to respect someone like you, Alpha Adrien." She emphasized his name with contempt in her voice.

"Who do you think you are?"

Lisa understood what he was trying to do. He was trying to assert his dominance over her, but she wasn't going to let that happen. She had enough of all the men she had met trying to downgrade her, put her under them and make decisions for her. Her father did it, the alpha of the Night Shadow pack did it, Collin did it. She had enough.

"It doesn't matter who I am. All that matters is…"

The sound of the dining table being thrown to the side interrupted her. Lisa's eyes went wide as she looked at the table on the ground with all the food and plates scattered on the floor.

She looked up at Alpha Adrien's face, and it was scary. His eyes had gone dark and he glared at her. His wolf seemed close to the surface. Her body started to shake. She was scared. The situation had gotten bad fast. Liv whimpered in her head.

Alpha Adrien shook his head. "I do not want a mate like you. You're disrespectful and do not know your place. I think it would be best for the both of us if we stayed apart."

He walked away without sparing her a second glance. She looked away from him and stared at the ground. This was not how she had expected this to go, neither was it how she ever expected having a conversation with her mate. He seemed like a dangerous man, and the mate she had spent years looking for and had sacrificed so much for didn't seem to even appreciate her.

As she left the dining room and went up the stairs back to her room, she made mental note to avoid him at all costs.
