CHAPTER TWO:MATE

MORRIGAN'S POV

“Bang!” A loud sound jolted me up. My head was pounding. Everything hurts like hell. I tried opening my eyes but they wouldn't open. The wolfsbane was delaying my healing process.

“Get them out!” Someone yelled, causing my head to hurt even more.

“Get up!” I felt a sharp kick in my side. I groaned in pain.

“Drag her out, the alpha is waiting.” Someone else said.

“Drag me out?” I thought, as soon as I managed to get out of here I am going to make these motherfuckers pay for the pain I am going through.

Someone dragged me out like I was a log. My sense of smell started coming back. I could smell different scents and food.

At the smell of food my eyes shot open, I immediately closed them again because of the bright light. It was way brighter than in the dungeon.

“Is she the last one?” A deep voice said. It sent shivers down my spine. This was definitely an alpha, and a strong one at that.

“Yes Alpha.” The same person from the dungeon answered. I was forced to kneel.

“What is your name?” His deep voice rumbled. I could feel goosebumps forming on my skin.

I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a couple of times. I turned my head left and right looking at my surroundings. We were outside in a big field, there were wooden houses facing away from where I was. I finally looked in front of me, there were two men seated and one standing besides them. From looking at them I could tell who the Alpha was from his dark and strong aura.

He had hair as dark as a moonless and starless night, his eyes were darker than anything I'd ever seen before, so empty. He had a thin and long nose, a sharp jaw, high cheekbones and bushy eyebrows.

The one seated beside him seemed powerful too, so maybe the Beta and the one beside them was among those who brought us here yesterday.

“The Alpha asked you a question?” The one who dragged me here shouted, kicking me in the side.

These idiots were really starting to piss me off, first they trapped me,used wolfsbane on me, locked me up and now they even dare to hit me.

I slowly raised my hand and a few rocks began levitating. I directed them to the guy who hit me and then hit him one after another, he fell down and let out a series of pained groans.

“A sharp pain shot up my hand and I was forced to stop. I struggled to catch my breath.

“What was that? Is she a witch?” The man standing next to the alpha exclaimed. I slowly lifted my head and glared at him. “Witches are fucking extinct,idiot.” I thought.

“What are you?” The Beta asked, eying me cautiously.

“Let me go.” I said weakly. I just wanted to get away from here, find some food and sleep.

“Answer the question. Are you really a witch? But how is that possible? I can smell your wolf and there are no witches left.” The Beta asked, he slowly got up from his seat.

“That's none of your business.” I spat out. My identity was none of their concern, all they needed to do was let me go.

“Join my pack.” The Alpha voiced startling me. “Zephyr!” The beta exclaimed in surprise. Hell even I was surprised, what was this douchebag saying. Did he really think I would agree to join their pack after all they did to me.

“No.” I said leaving no room for argument or negotiation. A smirk appeared on his face. “You either join my pack or die. It's up to you.”

“Alpha how can we let a low life rogue join our pack!” The man besides the Alpha protested. One look from him and he bowed his head in submission.

“No.” I repeated. I wasn't going to die, as soon as I regained my energy I was going to whoop their asses and run.

He walked towards me, my heart started beating faster than usual. His aura was very intimidating and as much as I didn't want to admit it I was afraid. He stopped right in front of me and squatted down to my level.

His scent hit my nostrils, mint. My head was spinning, he smelt so good. Why did he smell this good? I'd smelt mint before and it didn't make my mouth water like this.

“So you would rather die than join my pack.” He smirked, before placing his fingers under my chin and forcing me to look into his eyes.

The moment his fingers touched me, it felt like I was floating. My skin was covered in goosebumps and I was burning up. My breath got caught up in my throat, his eyes were drawing me in and I felt like I was drowning in them. The pain, anger and hunger I was feeling disappeared and all I could feel, see and smell were him.

What was this feeling? And why did it feel so good, why did I keep wanting to look at this handsome stranger.

A strong shove had me spilled out on my back and the spell was broken just like that.

“It can't be you..” he growled, “you cannot be my mate.” He yelled.

Mate? My eyes widened at the realization, he was my mate. This could not be happening to me, it was not happening. This was all a terrible dream I was having or maybe they were hallucinations because I was hungry, right? Right!?

I closed and opened my eyes hoping to wake up from this nightmare. I pinched myself and winced in pain.

Oh goddess, this was real. I really had found my mate. The one i prayed and hoped to never, ever meet in this life or even in my wildest dreams.
