Chapter Four 

Ace

I was in-between an alpha meeting when the bouder wolves mind linked me asking me for permission to kill a female rogue who was at the border. It interested me why a rogue especially a female would be at my border given my reputation. It would mean that wolf doesn't know about me. I decided to go by myself. 

" Rouge attack" I told the other alphas as I excused myself. As I got there the rogue clearly in fear attacked one of my men. She was apparently in wolf form. White coloured wolves were rare and my interest was prized as I remembered my mum's wolf was white too. I used alpha dominance and she submitted. My men were bowing too. That was when I realised I used too much force.

   Our eyes locked and I immediately felt the sensation of pleasure as I whispered "Mate" I howled as the border control looked shocked and turn their back to my supposed mate. I felt the mate bond form as Lucas happily screamed our mate in my head. " Bring a shirt and some shorts" I said and one walked to the nearest house to get one. I wanted an alpha female to be my mate and not a rouge. I mentally asked the moon goddess why she had given me such a mate. I was going to reject her I said to myself although Lucas gave a warning growl not to touch mate after giving the command to take her back to the pack house I left. I was slightly disgusted by her smell. " Make sure she freshen up and has a change of cloth. I ran back to the pack house to continue the meeting. 

    After the meeting I told the maid Catherine to get my supposed mate and meet me in the dining hall. I sat on my seat as I waited for her. She cleaned up nicely. She wore a white blouse with long black pants. She sat without looking at me, head bowed. 

" Raise your head," I said but she didn't even bother. I wasn't known for my patience. I used alpha dominance as she felt the power she quickly looked up and I could feel the fear and sorrow emitting from her. she had bloodshot eyes and dark circles under her eyes. Catherine served dinner. I told her to cook lots of food and different types because I was sure this female was starving. As the food arrived I looked at her as she focused on the food. It looked like she hadn't seen anything like it before. 

 " Add some meat to your bones' ' I said as she hurriedly dug in. I used the opportunity to look at her closely. The blouse was turtle neck as I wasn't able to see anything but I could see the dried cut marks and purple bruises on her face. Her red hair was cut unevenly , it looked forced. She had a small mouth and I was wondering how the size of food she was having fitted into her mouth. It looked as though she had been a slave but that isn't surprising as she's a rogue. To be honest I was a little attracted to her but I really don't want her as a mate. 

   After she finished eating, she looked overstuffed and fell asleep immediately. I asked the other maids to get her into the guest room downstairs. I went into my room and questioned the moon goddess' choice again. Why should a strong alpha like me get matted with a rogue who was most likely a slave. "She's weak, I need a strong mate ." I whispered into the darkness of my room. I slept with the intent of visiting the moon goddess. It was past one in the morning when I heard someone scream. I hurried to the sound of the voice as I saw my mate on the floor, screaming and kicking her legs. 

"Stop! Stop!! Stop!!! It's enough. Please let me be, I'm not my father" she continued screaming. It was the first time I've ever heard her voice. It was very tiny and it seemed as if it would break any moment from now. I held her arm and she screamed saying "Dexter please I can't take it anymore".

" Who is Dexter?" I asked but got no reply. I shook her body gently as she woke up. She sighed in relief in seeing in and somewhere in my heart I felt a tiny spark of warmth. 

" I was having a nightmare" that was all she said. She was on the floor again. I told her to use the bed but she looked like I told her to hang herself. I was losing my patience so I carried her roughly and threw her on the bed. She cringed as her back connected with the bed but as the softness heated her she slowly relaxed her body and was soon sleeping again. I watched her sleep. I noticed the unbuttoned part of her pyjamas. I was about to button it when I saw a long mark, I pushed it up gently to expose the marks on her side. It was filled with bruises and cuts. Dexter must surely be her master, I said to myself. I felt Sorry for having such a mate. I was too lazy to climb up the stairs so I decided to sleep on the couch. It was not long until she started whispering in her sleep. She said she loves books and that is what calms her down. Maybe she was talking to herself.I watched her closely and could see that she's beautiful. She looked so peaceful and maybe for the first time she's getting a nice sleep. She's my mate I thought to myself, so I went and laid on the bed with her but I endured. I kept my distance. It was too early for that, I was about to put a pillow in-between us when I felt her hands on my waist.

 " Thank you" she whispered softly. I looked and saw she was sound asleep. I wrapped one arm protectively around her small frame and that made Lucas more than happy. It was then I decided to accept my mate. I would love and cherish her and know more about her but I know outwardly she has to warm up to me first.
