First encounter

Chapter 5

Alexa's POV

I flinched when the Alpha left angrily and slammed the door behind him. The scenes from the previous night came rushing to my mind as tears fell uncontrollably from my eyes. I felt used and rejected. The spot between my legs felt sore, and my limbs shake uncontrollably, but I managed to stand up and walk to the bathroom.

I noticed the bathroom was colossal, ensuite with a walk-in closet, white, and gray theme perfectly suitable for an Alpha. My eyes darted to the giant mirror on the right side of the wall, my reflection stared back at me. I look horrible, my hair is disheveled, my cheeks and eyes are swollen due to crying, and my eyes look almost lifeless. I cried harder, tears streaming down my face like a river as I tried to comprehend the situation I was in.

I lied to an Alpha who I was mated to about my wolfless state, and now he's furious. How did I even come to marry him?, Why am I mated to him? From what I can tell, he's too dominant, forceful, and harsh. He didn't have the criteria I want in a mate. Our worlds are just too far apart, he lacked any sense of empathy. 

All I wanted was to be mated to somebody that I love and who loves me for who I am, but not only did that not happen, I am mated to an Alpha who saw me as a disgrace and disappointment. Not only did he look as if he wanted to kill me, but he also looked at me like I was nothing, weak, worthless, and useless. All this pain, everything happening to me, is all because of my uncle. How can people be so wicked and evil?

When my parents were still alive, they treated him so well as part of the family, he was my father's, right-hand man. I trusted him and involved him in almost everything concerned with Grey wood pack. My uncle Gaius treated me and my brother Axel like we were his family, he showed us love and care.

But Alas! It was all a facade to hide his cruel and evil intentions. Immediately after my parents died, he began to show his true colors. I had thought that I would be the one to take over the throne and be the next Alpha of the Grey wood pack but how wrong I was, I never knew that while my father was still the Alpha, uncle Gaius had eyes for the throne and also wanted to be the Alpha of Grey wood pack.

At first, they would rather not make me Alpha because I am a female. I had always thought that my gender was not a problem since I was the first child of my parents, the Alpha, and Luna of the Grey wood pack and according to the rules, I would definitely be the next Alpha of my pack. When they knew they had no choice but to make me the female Alpha of my pack, they had to use the fact that my wolf was not active yet, and I was weak and would not be able to lead the pack.

I was always sad and disheartened about the fact that at twenty-three my wolf was still not active despite being born by two powerful werewolves and leaders. My uncle Gaius used that painful and sad part of my life to discredit me from being the next female Alpha. As if that were not enough, he made my only brother, who loved me so much, turn against me. I felt so hurt when I saw my brother look at me with emotionless eyes. The thought of my brother being used against me brought tears to my eyes again. 

All this misfortune that has happened in my life until now, including meeting my mate that has deemed me useless, is all because of uncle Gaius. If I had been made the rightful Alpha and had remained in the Grey wood pack, then all this would not have happened. They will all pay for this, I will overcome this and go back for my brother, I won't let them win nor break my spirit, I promised myself as I stared at my reflection and wiped my tears.

I turned on the shower and I jumped in surprise when the cold water hit my skin. I let the water wash away all my pain and the humiliation from last night. I winced in pain when I tried to wash my vagina, I was still sore and in pain, after the sex, I had with the Alpha. After taking my bath, I felt more relaxed and comfortable. I changed into the new clothes I found on the bed and decided to go out of the room and get some air, which I desperately needed.

I took a walk along the verandah and ended up walking to the garden. I was awestruck when I saw the beauty of the garden. It had beautiful different colored flowers, the sun cast its magnificent rays on the flowers making it appear much more beautiful and serene. Birds chirped happily and butterflies flew from one flower to another. I breathed in the sweet scent of the flowers and instantly felt more at peace when I noticed the presence of a man in the garden.

This man is breathtakingly handsome, his skin is so white without any blemishes, he has a prominent lower jaw and chin, and he has the most beautiful pair of light blue eyes I have ever seen in a man that I could almost get lost gazing into them, he is very handsome yet cute at the same time. I could not help but drool, his body looks well-defined and toned even from the clothes he is wearing. I found myself mesmerized and attracted to this strange man as I wondered who he was. He suddenly started walking towards me, I didn't even know he was already in front of me until I heard his deep sexy voice.

“Hi, sister-in-law, you are welcome to the family,” he said, smiling widely at me.

“Sis… sister-in-law?” I thought. So, he is the Alpha's brother. I didn't even have the time to think too much about it as I saw the dimples that appeared on his cheeks when he smiled, my eyes were focused on his full pink soft-looking lips as I felt my heart beating wildly, it felt like butterflies were fluttering in my belly as I was left tongue-tied.
