CHAPTER 2: TESTED

​                          HAZEL'S POV

    "W...What do you mean I'm your mate?" I stuttered as I sat up in my bed and lowered my head, too scared to look into his eyes. 

    His eyes twitched and he stepped down from my bed. He looked at Alpha Luke who had his head bowed~ "Don't tell me she's yet to see the wolf fang tattoo on her chest?" He asked coldly. 

    My brows raised and I frowned. "Tattoo?" I asked rhetorically as I lowered my head to check my chest and there it was~

    A big long fang was drawn from my chest down to the line in between my breast, looking beautiful yet scary ~ 

    Damn!

   I've been told several times by my mother whenever I asked her about the mark on her chest that it was the mark Alpha give to their mate before they even get to see them face to face. 

   It was a mark to let the world know that the wolf had been taken by an Alpha and must not be touched by another man.

   But why did I have that?

  On what ground?

    I wasn't told anything~ I had never even met the Alpha before today and... No one ever told me about marriage!

    Still thinking about my lost self, I felt the atmosphere change and I gasped in fear.

   "Argh!" I groaned as I felt my butt hit a hard surface... It was painful~

   I looked around me only to find out I was inside a filthy collapsed building that looked like it had been abandoned for hundreds of years. 

   "Where is this place?" I asked but there was no one around to reply to me and my heart started racing. 

   What was I to do in such a lonely, old, and scary place?

  Where was this in the first place?

   I was terrified, confused, and helpless as I struggled to stand on my feet. My bruised feet wobbled around for seconds before I managed to balance myself. 

   "Alpha Asher!" I screamed but there was no reply. 

   I wanted to curse him. I wanted to insult him and tell him how much of a jerk he was for doing this to me but I felt the word stuck in my throat because of fear. 

    "He could kill me if I provoke him." The harsh cold reminder of my subconscious mind kept reminding me and my head banged. 

    I placed my hands on the old wall as I walked out of the room I met myself. I could see another room at the other end of the collapsed building and I thought it could be a way out of the old tattered building that looked even more tattered than my room. 

   Unfortunately, On getting to the room, I heard a loud growl from behind me, and by the time I turned back, I saw a raged wolf with red eyes baring its fangs at me~

    "Hell!" I cussed as I fell backward.

    The wolf continued moving closer to me and my fear increased. I could transform too but would I be able to fight it?

   The last time I transformed was a year ago and I was weaker than back then after being locked for a year, would I be able to even escape?

   "Awooooooorrrr" The wolf growled as it increased his speed while eying me like I was the most delicious meal ever. 

   "They said that psychopath only kills his Mates after two years but I guess he wants to kill me the moment he saw me." I cried as I struggled to stand up. 

   "Give it all or lose it all!" I roared as I took a few steps back and closed my eyes. 

   I poured the remaining strength in me to the weak wolf inside me and before I opened my eyes again, I was already in my transformed form~

    My tiny wolf self bared its fangs at the big, powerful wolf, asking the fight to begin although I knew I would never be able to win the fight even if I gave it my all but I still wanted to try something... Anything at all!

     The wolf jumped at me and was about to start attacking me when something flew in between us and the next moment, I saw the bloody body of the scary wolf~ 

    "Sh*t! I guess wolf hunters have gotten us~" I cried as I flew in the air and jumped out of the room without trying to see who it was that killed the other wolf. 

   My heart was racing so fast against my chest that I felt like crying. My wolf form was weak... weaker than I expected but it was better at running than my human form. So, I decided to keep my wolf form as I raced toward the room I was transported in. 

   "You sick psycho Alpha! Take me away now before Wolf hunters kill me here! If you don't... No... If I get killed here, My ghost would hunt you down, I promise!" I started crying inwardly as I searched for another way to escape but there was no way. 

   I felt something getting closer to me with each second that passed by... It was scary. 

    "Were you very scared?" 

    A voice asked in my head and my eyes twitched. I had only heard that voice for a few seconds but I needed no one to tell me it was the psycho's voice and my blood boiled. 

   He appeared in front of me and grabbed my neck. "You are too weak to be my mate." He grumbled before throwing me to the other end of the old wall, crumbling the remaining part of the helpless wall.

    "Oofk!" I groaned as I fell helplessly on the ground and transformed back to my human form before standing up.  

    "That psycho!" I cussed inwardly but my face looked as solemn as ever. 

    The next moment...

      "You're in my house." His cold yet annoying voice sounded in my ears and I looked around only to realize it was true. 

   I was in a grand, fully furnished bedroom, sitting in a very big soft bed that made my ass feel relaxed. I looked at him, who turned his back to me and I smiled.

     "So, this big bedroom is mine, right?" I asked sweetly, forgetting about the fear in my heart and the pains in my body. 

     He turned his head, looking amused, he stared at me for a moment before clapping his hands and the door flew open. 

     Three ladies walked in and bowed to him. "My Lord." One of the ladies called politely with her head completely bowed. 

    Alpha Asher, without turning away from me, pointed to my dirty, tattered, and old gown. "Take her away, wash her, and dress her up." He said before turning away to walk away from the room. 

   The ladies walked toward me and bowed a little. "You need to come with us." One of them said. 

   "To..." I wanted to ask them about Alpha Asher but I shut my mouth when I saw the look they were giving me. 

   Damn! It was obvious they hated me for some reasons I didn't know about and it made me uncomfortable. 

   I followed them to the bathroom and I was washed. It was a first for me but I quite enjoyed it~ "This is wonderful." I mumbled inwardly as I was led out of the bathroom with only a robe on me. 

   I entered the room only to see Alpha Asher sitting on a couch with his legs crossed and pressing his phone. I took a step back and covered my mouth. "What... What are you doing here? This should be my... my room." I stuttered as I took a few more steps back.

   He raised his head to look at me and frowned. "Your room? Who gave you that?" He asked and my eyes twitched. 

   Truly, no one ever said anything about the room being mine!

   "I... I need a room... Where is my..." I stuttered as I felt embarrassed for getting ahead of myself.

    Alpha Asher stood up and dropped the key in his hand before looking at me. "Dress up and meet me downstairs. You need to meet my family so that the wedding ceremony can be done soon." He said before walking toward the bed where he lay down and crossed his legs with his eyes fixed on me. 

   I sighed. I wasn't able to complain about what he did to me earlier because I was scared but no matter how scared I was, I wouldn't let him sit there and watch me dress. Never!

    "I know you're an Alpha but don't you think it's wrong to sit there and watch me dress?" I asked and he smirked which only irritated me more and made me want to pop his brain.  

    The ladies moved closer to me and they looked intimidating as if they were warning me to be careful of how I talk to their Alpha ~

    I turned to face Alpha Asher who glared at the ladies and frowned~

    "Leave." He snapped and the ladies immediately rushed out of the room, leaving me with the psycho ~ Eii!

     He stood up and walked toward me while I dragged my legs back till my back touched the wall~ "This room is ours~ Yours and Mine. We are sharing the same room, the same bed" He mumbled as he placed his hand on my chest and trailed down my cleavage, causing my weak knees to get weaker. 

   "You are mine now... My Mate!" Alpha Asher added!
