There’s nothing special about you

PENIEL

The guard's grip on me softened, and I stared around, wondering if I had just imagined everything in my head.

But as I stared up to him, I was welcomed with a glare from the woman beside him. I quickly looked away, avoiding the deathly aura emitting from her. I didn’t fail to notice how other ladies were glaring at me angrily amidst the crowd.

“Come with me,” One of the guards said, interrupting my thoughts.

I followed him quietly, realizing it was real, and all eyes were on me as I walked away. It didn’t take long before we got to his room, the guard inserted the key in the keyhole and he signaled for me to go in.

“Alone?” I found myself asking and he gave me a weird glare.

Well, you can't blame me for asking. This was the room of one of the most vicious alphas of our time!

“Should I carry you in? Are your legs broken?” He asked and I scoffed, realizing all the men I’ve come in contact with were trash.

“Go in, be sure not to touch anything. A common treaty shouldn’t be acting high and mighty,” He spat and I felt tears gathering at the corners of my eyes as I thought of my mom.

Without saying a word to him, I walked into the room and I banged the door to his face. I felt that was rather merciful, compared to what I had in mind of doing to him.

I was expecting a luxurious room, but his room was plain and dark.

His mattress and everything was colored black. There was no life in his room, except for the picture of him and the woman he was with.

Not wanting to get into any trouble, I quietly sat down as I waited for my fate.

Deep down I felt he wanted to have his way with me just like my father predicted. I thought so because there was no logical reason why he would want me in his room.

I wanted to talk about him being my mate, but I was too scared to admit that to myself. I bet he didn’t feel the same way I did, he has his chosen mate already.

I sighed tiredly, my head banging from all these thoughts. I was still deep in thought when the door opened abruptly, and I felt a cold chill washed over me.

I quickly stood up, my head faced down. I didn’t dare to look at him even when I heard a bang as the door closed behind him.

“You know your father sold you to me right?” He said, and I immediately turned pale. I didn’t imagine this was the first thing he’d say to me.

“I asked a question… Petra, Penny, Pearl?” He said, calling me wrong names.

I felt like cussing at my father for putting me in this position.

“He doesn’t even know my name!” My subconscious yelled.

“He sold me,” I replied, still face down, until I felt his cold hands lifting my face up.

I shivered the moment I was standing too close to him, feeling his fresh breath on my face.

“Can’t look me in the eyes any longer huh? You were brave earlier,” He walked to me, his hands caressing my hair.

It didn’t take long before my face was inches away from his. I inhaled deeply, my heart beating rapidly as I tried to stand properly.

He sniffed my neck and I gasped as I felt his grasp on my ass.

“What are you…”

“Hushhh,” His hands on my lips, shutting me up.

“Fuck, so soft,” He mumbled as his fingers dug into my ass.

I didn’t realize the sound that came out of my mouth. But, I could tell that despite the pain, I could still feel the pleasure in it.

His free hand roamed around my body, until it glued to my breasts, squeezing and folding it, through the laced fabric I wore.

I couldn’t think straight.

Inside of me was boiling with hunger for him. I wanted to feel him inside of me, but reality came in when I realized I would never be in the same league as him.

“Please stop…” I whispered weakly, as I backed away from him.

He stared at me in a way no one had ever done. I was so drawn to him that I didn’t notice how close he was to me, until I felt his cold breath on my face.

“I want you,” He said and my knees immediately went null. I almost fell but he was quick to grab me.

My mouth opened, but I couldn’t find words to say. His lips slid into my mouth which tasted like strawberries. This was my first kiss, and it was with my mate.

Words couldn’t tell how overjoyed I was as he continued kissing me. I slowly started kissing him back, and he groaned as he carried me to the bed, while I felt his hard groin poking my ass.

Lying on the bed, he continued kissing me as he slowly undressed me. Deep down I knew this wasn’t right, but at the moment, everything was perfect.

He was my first at everything.

……

My eyes slowly opened and I stared around, slowly familiarizing myself with my environment, I made to stand up but I realized I was naked. Still fazed with what was going on, I heard a voice.

“Get dressed!”

I turned to see Alpha Luciano, sitting on the sofa. I noticed something different from his demeanor, he was staring at me fiercely, unlike he was staring at me earlier.

Not wanting to have a taste of his anger, I covered myself with the duvet and I shyly wore my clothes, then I stood up from the bed.

“Leave!” He said, and paused, not believing my ears.

I stared around, to be sure if I was the only one in the room, not until he walked to me. And with a light smack on my face, I felt myself flying in the air as I landed close to the bed, wincing in pain.

I stared at him, wondering why he did that. Instantly, images of my father doing the same to me, flashes through my memory and I whimpered, squeezing my body as I felt like vanishing from his presence.

“Why?” I found myself asking and his face darkened.

“Why?” He chuckled, his every emotion filled with distaste.

“You think you can just fucking walk into my life as my mate, huh? You’re just a treaty! You mean nothing to me! Not even to your own father because I could choose to get rid of you right here and he wouldn’t even lift a finger,” He said and tears started running down my eyes.

“You knew?” I asked, sweat dripping heavily from my face. I clenched and unclenched my fist numerous times as I tried to come to terms with what he just said.

“Mate? Hell no! You’d never be. I will never accept you as my mate, I’d personally kill you myself just to show the moon goddess how much I don’t want you,” He said and I covered my mouth as I wailed uncontrollably.

“You could have just rejected me, you didn’t want to do this,” I said, unable to fathom why he’d use me this way.

“I wanted to see what’s so special about you, why would the moon goddess offer a treaty as my mate, and it turns out there’s nothing special about you!” He spat and a felt a pang of pain in my heart. 

Realizing dawned on me, the way he stared at me earlier wasn’t love, it was lust. He had his way with me and now he hated me.
