Chapter 005

Crystal's POV 

I felt like I didn't hear right. Maybe my ears and my mind were playing games on me. Because there was no way in the seven hells did he just ask me to strip for him on our first private meeting. What type of perverted man was this? Either way, I wasn't the type of girl he thought I was.

"I'm not taking it off. I came to see you. Say what you wish to say so I can take my leave" I refused.

He began walking slowly towards me. "I won't ask again. Take that dress off" he said in a grave voice.

But I wasn't scared of him. I had stood up to him before, he wasn't going I intimidate me.

"I am not your stripp-" 

SWOOSH!

Before I could finish my sentence, my back was against the wall with both of my hands pinned above my head with his left hand. 

When did I get to the wall? I was just at the center of the room! He moved so fast I couldn't even see or react.

My chest heaved as I panted for air. His grip on my hands were as strong as iron.

"Let's establish a few things, butterfly. I'm the one who decides what happens and when it happens. I give the order, you follow. You don't argue or defy me whether in public or in private. I'm not prince charming or your knight in shining armour. I'm the devil who gets what he wants and as if now, my wolf wants you. So you will serve my every desire and obey my every command or you'll find yourself in my dungeon. I don't take disobedience lightly. Are we clear?" He asked.

I was still petrified from his showcase of strength and speed, still catching my breath I couldn't even process what he said.

"I said are we clear!" He bellowed.

But I gritted my teeth. "I am not your stripper!" I yelled back at him. 

His expression remained blank. Then he smirked. "I see. You're a feisty one huh? You like it when you're controlled or forced to do something right?" He asked and grabbed my waist with his other hand before bringing his lips close to my ear.

"If you won't take it off, I'll strip you myself" he whispered.

An image immediately conjured in my mind, making my eyes bulge with dread. 

He was going to strip me?! What kind of pervert was I mated to? 

He immediately turned me around and found the zipper to my dress.

"Please don't!" I yelled and surprisingly, he stopped. 

"What happened to your hand?" He asked, touching the injury I sustained from the mirror earlier.

I immediately retracted my hand and concealed the injury.

He turned me around to face him. "Who injured you?" He asked with a stern look on his face.

"Nobody, it was an accident" I immediately blurted out. I didn't know if he was asking out of concern or whatever but I didn't want him finding out I was pushed by the Luna. 

"You need to be careful. My mate should not have unnecessary scars. You should be perfect as I found you. Lisa will attend to the injury immediately" he said and walked to his closet. He pulled out a long robe and wore it over his pair of boxers, tying the ropes neatly.

"Where are you going?" I asked, more out of surprise than anything else. Wasn't he going to strip me just now? What's with the random switch in activity? 

"Out to swim. That's the only good thing your pack has to offer me. By the time I get back, I want that dress off. Don't make me take it off you when I get back" he said and exited the room. 

Part of me was disappointed. I hate what I'm about to say but a part of me wanted him to strip me. I know it's crazy but when he whispered his intention in my ear, I felt a burning sensation inside me. It felt like a part of me was yearning for it. 

KNOCK KNOCK!

"Luna" I heard Lisa call from outside. 

"Come in" I called her in.

"I'm sorry, I can't enter Alpha Adrian's chambers" she replied from outside. 

I rolled my eyes and stood up, meeting her outside. We went to my room and she attended to my injury before escorting me back to Adrian's room. 

I explored his room and saw lots of necklaces, amulets and dangerous weapons stashed in different places. It was like he was going for war. 

I guess he really was bloodthirsty. I went through the necklaces and saw a beautiful one with a silver coloured crescent pendant and pink stars around it. It looked too feminine to be in his collection. 

"You like that one?" 

I immediately turned around, startled to my bones. When did he get in?

"Turn around let me put it on you" he said more of an order than a request. He didn't even let me say if I liked it or not.

I turned around. He wore it on my neck and leaned forward to whisper again. "You know, sniffing through personal belongings can get you punished. And didn't I tell you to take off this dress before I got back?" He whispered.

I tilted my head to look at him. 

"I wanted to remove it in your presence" I whispered back and turned to face him. 

I could see the confusion on his face. "Did I hear you well?" He asked in a low voice.

"Isn't that what you want?" I maintained my blank expression and began unzipping my dress. I took off the shoulders and watched the dress drop down to my legs before stepping out of them elegantly. 

His eyes greedily scanned my body, feeding off how I looked in my underwear. 

"All of it. Take it all off" he pointed at my brassiere and panties.
