A mate For All

Chapter 6

Olivia's POV

“How much longer do you think she would sleep for?” I heard a man's voice, the same registering in my head now as the same voice I had heard, just before I passed out.

“Master, you have to be patient and give her time. We talked about this and you agreed.” I heard the unmistakable voice of the other man who had earlier introduced himself to me as Alexander.

“Shhhh, she's waking up.” the man said and I opened my eyes.

The blinding lights nearly blinded me, accompanied by one of the worst headaches I had ever experienced. I quickly closed my eyes and tried to adjust my sight to the light.

“Turn off the light Alexander.” he said.

“Who are you?” I asked the man, meeting his gaze for the first time.

As soon as I set my eyes on him, it was almost like I had seen him before, flashes of a life I never knew passed through my head and I knew that whatever we had been the best romance I had ever experienced.

“We have been waiting for you to come back.” the man said, and I jerked my head up, so fast that I was hit by a fresh bout of dizziness.

“Thank you for saving me.” I said and sat up, holding my head.

“You are my mate.” the man said without any filter.

“I don't know you. I am only looking for a better life. Thank you for helping me, but I have to be on my way now.” I said.

“You really just want to open your eyes and walk out of here?” He asked me, looking puzzled that I wanted to leave.

“Yes.” I answered flatly.

“Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, but you won't be going anywhere.” He stated, and I could see the anger flaring in his eyes.

“Ermm, master, why don't you let me handle the mistress from here? You know…give her some time to regroup. She has been through a harrowing experience, I imagine.” Alexander said, but he said it in such a way that suggested that there was something going on here that I was not clear about.

“Fine. Deal with her, I don't know why she is constantly trying to make everything harder than it already was, every time.” He mumbled and left.

“What is his problem?” I asked Alexander as soon as the door closed.

“Oh, that's Alpha Augustus. He is a bit quick to anger, but I promise you, he is the sweetest soul to ever exist.” Alexander defended him.

“I don't like him.” I said and scoffed.

“I understand that Mistress…"

“Can you just call me Olivia? I don't think you have to call me Mistress because I am not that.” I snapped at Alexander and immediately felt bad for it.

“How come you are the only two people that I have seen in this park?” I asked him, without waiting for a response.

“Oh… Well, we are just here for a while. You'll soon be going home.” Alexander said, adding to my confusion.

“You know, every time I ask a question, you only end up confusing me more than I was about everything.” I said and Alexander chuckled like I had just given him one of the greatest compliments in the world.

“I am sorry about that mist… Olivia.” He said and I smiled at him.

“I have so many questions. Why does it seem like you know me? I know you said it wasn't in your place to tell me, but I am genuinely curious and if Your master is my mate, why don't I feel the overwhelming connection to him?” I asked Alexander.

“Your wolf is weak. As time goes on, you will get stronger and understand everything better. Be patient, Olivia and let everything play out.” He said.

“How do I leave here?” I asked Alexander.

“You can't. I'm sorry.” He said and immediately left the room, leaving me more confused.

A few hours later, Alexander brought me fresh clothes and a tray of freshly made food.

“Thank you Alexander.” I said to him, and he merely bobbed his head respectfully in response.

“Please eat Olivia. The master has made it himself. To apologize for how he acted earlier.” Alexander said.

“I don't care about his apology. First impressions count.” I snorted and opened the plate of food, the heavenly scent wafting into my nose, threatening to make me key into my animalistic side.

The thing was, I was sure I had never eaten this before, yet, my taste buds didn't find it unfamiliar when I took the first spoon. I was sure that this was my best meal, and it wasn't because of the hardship I had to face back at my pack.

“You will be taking a walk with the Master later.” He said and looked at me pleadingly, his eyes begging me not to make this hard for him.

“And what if I do not want to?” I asked him, quietly, my voice barely audible.

“Don't make this hard. Please.” Alexander said and walked out of the room again.

I finished the food shortly after he left and stood up to look at my surroundings. It was already evening and I could see the sun setting in the distance. Even though I was sure that this man was my mate, I felt absolutely nothing for him.

“Moon goddess, is that how I'm supposed to feel?” I questioned quietly.

“I have come to take you for the stroll.” I heard Augustus's voice from behind me and jumped.

“You should knock on the door. You scared me.” I said, more irritated about his presence than I ought to be.

“Let's go.” He said, as if he had not heard me.

“Well I am not going.” I said defiantly and went into the bathroom, slamming the door shut.

I had barely entered inside when the door was thrown open and Augustus walked in, hauling me on his shoulders like a big bag of hay.
