ARE YOU AFFECTED BY MY TOUCH?

In the night.

Alessia laid on the bed as her thoughts drifted back to the night before, when her gaze met with that weird man. Why does she feel so affected by him?! It seems an unknown force keeps drawing her to him even though they had just met a day ago. She was sure not going to get enough of this because another scary man was also staring at her intently, which scared the hell out of her but didn't allow her expression to be visible enough to create any suspicions from Zelda.

Her head began to form worry lines as she thought about it, then the ringtone of her phone interrupted her thoughts, she sat up from her bed and picked her phone from the mini-table beside her bed.

The caller ID was her mum and she smiled, she really needed to hear the voice of her mother. It has been a long time since she last visited the house of her mother.

"Hey hun, you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm good, thanks, you?" 

"Yes, thanks. Are you eating  enough? Do you need anything?" 

"I don't need anything, mum. How's Martin?" 

"He's doing well and he also says hi. What about Zelda, how's she doing?"

"She's also doing great."

"When are you going to come visit us?!" 

"I don't know mum but very soon. I just got a new job."

"Oh my goodness! I'm so happy for you. I knew you were gonna make me proud."

"Yes, thanks mum."

"Alessia. I really miss you. I would love to see you again, but I know you're busy so make sure you take good care of yourself." 

"I miss you too, mum but I don't think I can come back to that house." She said in a sincere voice.

"Martin has really changed and he would..." 

"I'm feeling sleepy, mum." Alessia cut her mother short and noticing the displeasure in her daughter's tone she decided to bid her a goodnight and ended the call.

Alessia stared at the phone blankly deep in thought about the conversation she'd just had with her mother and all the weird things that had happened that day. 

She became tired and shook her head, snapping  her out of her thoughts as she lay back on her bed and went to sleep. All the drama of the day had worn her out, but it had also made it certain she would sleep that night.

The next morning.

When Alessia got into the company, she greeted the receptionist and the others she met with a smile as she walked towards the elevator that was coming down. She didn't get to see the person in the elevator as she kept searching for her ID card, but couldn't find it. She could feel a very cold gaze behind her but she was too distracted to notice as her bag slipped from her hands and the things in her bag fell to the floor, she bent to pick up what had fallen from her bag.

While picking up, she could feel her butt brush against something hard before a hand touches her exposed skin under her shirt, she stiffened as her bones quivered due to the unexpected touch and it was then she realized someone was in the elevator with her and he/she was standing behind her but the feel of the person's rough skin made her realize it was a man and her face flushed in  embarrassment.

" Sorry.... " She swallowed back her words as she came face to face with the man of the club and yesterday, he dropped his hands holding her butt and clenched them tightly at his sides. Her heart jolted when she saw him.

" Mate! " She thought she heard him mutter again, but decided against thinking of it. She fiddled with her fingers nervously as the tension in the elevator became even hotter.

" I'm sorry, I didn't know you were behind me. " She stuttered as she made a wide gap between them. His gaze still remained on her, sensing her every move, hearing her heart beating faster, being intoxicated by him and feeling deeply nervous and ashamed, but he liked the feeling of his hand on her butt and it seems he couldn't get enough of it because although it was just a brief touch, it had awakened his beast. He never thought he would be so drawn to a mere human.

Alessia's heart gave a flutter when he swiftly walked towards her and grabbed her, pinning her two hands over her head against the elevator wall.

He brought his nose closer to her neck as he exhaled in her perfume, loving the way she smelt.

" What are you doing?! " She asked hazily.

" What do you think I'm doing?! " He brought his mouth even closer to her ear as his body pressed against hers. He had a wicked glint in his eyes which made Alessia's legs tremble.

" You're far way too close, " She breathed out, his hand went to her hip, holding her steady while his other hand caged her two hands above her head, as his body loomed over hers.

" Are you affected by my touch?! You smell so good. " he brought his nose closer to her hair, sniffing in her scent. She smells extremely good, so much so that Marcus couldn't seem to get enough of it. She was his! His mate! He was unable to stay away from her, he was confused and also affected by her at the same time. 

" Let me go! What the heck do you think you're doing?! Who the hell are you?! " She snorted contemptuously, trying to break free from his hold. The man appeared to be so strange. Only an animal comes to someone and starts sniffing the person's body but this man was... unpredictable? He appeared strange but powerful, she felt the presence of authority and dominance around him.

The elevator dinged open, and two other ladies walked in, but their eyes widened in shock at what they saw. They were flabbergasted to see their Boss and the new interior designer, everyone has been talking about, in an intimate position. 

Alessia felt deeply embarrassed as she hid her face away, but it didn't stop there because the man still held her waist tightly. He moved his lips to her collarbone and gently placed a kiss just between her shoulder and neck, where he would mark her and it caused a pleasurable shiver to go through her whole body. 

Alessia moaned slightly, this man was also a pervert. She was deeply affected by his touch, she had never felt so vulnerable not until now and with this strange man.

All this was witnessed by the two ladies in the elevator, but as Marcus left her, he turned and gave them a scary glare which made them screech in fear.

Alessia exhaled deeply, rubbing her wrists that had been held for long and was now hurting her.

....

Marcus walked into his office, he hadn't expected himself to behave the way he did earlier but her scent drove him crazy and there's only one explanation to it and it's because she was his mate.

He had to find a way to reject her as soon as possible because the more she remains his mate, the more his wolf gets crazy. 

He doesn't want a weak human to be his mate because they only bring nothing but disaster and he doesn't want that for himself or his pack.

He had to reject her as his mate as soon as possible and by doing that, he has to say the words to her face that he rejects her as his mate and also the future Luna of his pack but the only problem is, would she be able to accept the bond to be broken because she's a human and wouldn't know anything about this or even what he is?

Thinking about this just made everything more confusing for him and hard.

Could the bond ever be broken?!
