Chapter Four

My mouth hung open, and everyone stared at Parker with confusion. My throat felt dry as I gulped.

"What do you mean you want Jasmine?" Alpha Bryan asked warily.

"I want and I will take Jasmine back to my pack with me," Parker replied with his eyes narrowed.

His voice is hard and intimidating.

A frown formed on my face.

He can't do that. I will not go to his party with him and leave my family and friends behind.

Mate or not, I will not go with him.

"No."

My voice came out confident. The words flew out of my mouth without much thought.

Now all eyes were on me. I didn't miss the look of fury in Parker's eyes.

"No?" His voice was deadly as he raised an eyebrow. I glanced up at him before standing up. "That's right, no. I will not go to your party with you. I'm staying here with my family."

I sighed before muttering a 'sorry' to everyone else in the room before exiting the dining room and out of the pack house, ignoring the people calling my name.

Damn, Parker, he can go to hell.

Irene whimpered at my thoughts, but I ignored her.

I turned towards the forest, debating whether I should go for a run or not. Deciding against it because of the dangers of the forest at night, I turn and run to my house. I ignore the fact I'm wearing heels and a dress because I feel great running.

I swung open the front door that I had unlocked using my house key.

It was dark, so I decided to turn some lights on.

Not bothering to change, I plopped down on the couch and checked the time on my phone.

So much for a nice 'dinner'.

Looking back at my phone, I dialed Sarina's phone number. On the second ring, she picked up.

"Jas, what's up?" Sarina's voice sounded at the other end.

Taking a breath, I blurted out,

"Alpha Parker is my mate. Sarina let out a gasp, "He's your mate?"

"Yeah."

She let out a loud squeal that made me pull the phone away from my ear. I heard her start talking again, "Oh my God! You finally found your mate, a sexy mate that is." I could tell she was wiggling her eyebrows.

"Come on, Sarina. You know that I don't want a mate." Mia growled slowly at me, but I ignored her.

Sarina sighed, "Yeah, I know."

"He wants me to go back to his pack with him," I say quietly. The phone was silent for a few seconds before she spoke, "What did you say?"

"I said no. I don't want to go and he can't make me." After those words left my mouth, a thunderous growl erupted behind me. Quickly, I turned around on the couch, and my eyes widened. Alpha Parker was standing there with his fists clenched, and his emerald eyes were a bright yellow color that sent chills of fear throughout my body.

"Shit, I'll call you back," Sarina muttered into the phone before hanging up.

Taking a deep breath, I turned back around before growling back at him, "I'm not going with you."

My voice held bitterness as memories of the past filled my head.

Swiftly, I was pinned against the couch as a loud growl filled the air. I gasped as Alpha Parker hovered above me, pinning my arms over my head.

"Get off of me," I seethed and squirmed under him.

Ignoring me, Alpha Parker brought his lips to my ear, brushing them just barely. "You are going to my pack with me." His voice got lower and more intimidating, "And if you do not cooperate and be a good girl, I will not take part in the deal and say goodbye to that alliance, do you understand?"

My lips stayed sealed, not attempting to even respond or nod.

A snarl ripped from him before he pulled away from my ear and stared me straight in the eye.

"Do you understand?" He raised his voice, and I could tell he was using his Alpha tone.

Gulping, I nodded.

Damn it, I know I can never say no against an Alpha, and this bastard knows it.

Alpha Parker's eyes stay on me for a little while longer. I notice he's still not wearing a shirt. My cheeks heat up as I realize I was looking at his well-defined chest and his tattoos along his torso and on his arms. It wasn't a lot of tattoos, but just a few.

A growl escaped from his chest, and I looked up and gulped when I noticed his eyes were not a dark forest green color.

His eyes weren't focused on my face but on my legs because my dress had been bunched up around my waist. His eyes then moved up to my chest.

He brought his nose to my neck and inhaled deeply.

"Mine," he growled while dragging his nose down my neck. I shivered in delight as my wolf purred. He pulled away and then got off the couch and walked away.

I just sat up on the couch, completely confused but thankful that he left.

Stupid mate bond.

********

I woke up tossing and turning in my bed. The feeling of Alpha Parker's nose grazing my neck was still felt and it didn't help that my wolf was putting inappropriate images in my head.

Sighing, I finally climbed out of my bed and headed out of my room. Deciding to go to the pack house, I exit my house.

The cool fall air brushed past my skin, making me shiver.

I pulled my jacket tighter to my body, covering up my black tank top I didn't bother changing out of.

I walked down the road passing other houses before I reached the pack house, which is at the center of the pack. Opening the door, I entered.

The lights were all off except for the living room. The TV was on while Anthony was sitting on the couch. He glanced over at me and smiled.

"Hey," he grinned while patting the spot next to him. Smiling, I took the spot next to him.

"Hey," I responded.

"Couldn't sleep?" He asks, leaning back on the couch. Shaking my head,

"You?"

"Nope," he replies, popping the 'p'. Turning towards the TV, I noticed he was watching The Big Bang Theory. We both just continued to watch the show, not really talking. After about two episodes, I looked over at Anthony to see that he was knocked out.

Turning back to face the TV, I continue to watch. After a few minutes, I felt something on my lap. I look down to see Anthony's head on my lap while snoring slightly. I suppress a giggle before looking back up at the 1V.

I don't know when, but I felt darkness surrounding me as sleep took over.

Light shone through my eyelids as I slowly became conscious from sleep. I felt arms around my waist, which made my wolf growl.

Squinting as my eyes adjusted to my surroundings, I looked down and noticed arms around my waist as I lay between the person's legs. Turning my head, I see that Anthony's already looking at me with a confused look before smirking.

"Hello, Princess," I rolled my eyes at his greeting, already knowing that he was enjoying this position very much.

A growl came from the entrance of the living room. Both of us turned our heads to see livid parker
