CHAPTER 9 OVERBEARING MAN

CHAPTER 9 OVERBEARING MAN

"What! No!...No! No!. You don't have to come with me to Auburndale. I can go by myself and pack up my things. I sincerely don't need your kindest help. Thank you for the offer though but you don't really have to go through all that stress Mr Quinn I can do it myself, alright" Aurora said, being a little sarcastic.

     

     "No you don't have to be all that formal, I love stressing myself over things like this of course that's why I'm a CEO. Plus it's concerning my mate and Luna so why not?." Damien said and grinned.

  He knew what she was trying to do and he just replied in the same vigor as her.

     Aurora rolled her eyes secretly thinking Damien wouldn't notice but he did anyway.

    "Alright sweetheart. Let's go" Damien said.

    Sweetheart?! Where did this come from? 

Oh God? This man is arghh?! 

  Damien noticed Aurora biting her lips lost in thought.

   "Get used to that now, ofcourse what does an Alpha call his mate? Mate?" Damien asked and chuckled.

   What!! How did this man know that she was thinking about that?

 Is that one of the qualities of an Alpha?

Can he read minds? Oh God!

   Damien looked at Aurora's terrible face and smiled, she was probably thinking about how he knew what she was thinking about.

His mate!!

   "Alright let's go" Damien said, stretching out his hand for Aurora to hold and come down from the bed.

    "That's fine Mr Quinn, I can come down myself" Aurora said.

  "If you say so." Damien said and she signed internally.

   Such an overbearing man!

     Damien and Aurora stepped out of the large room and Aurora kept on looking around, she hadn't seen a place this spacious. She was sure the house was made out of gold.

This man sure has a good taste.

    "This place is very beautiful, '' Aurora said. So this is where she was going to be living soon, nice!!! But then how would she keep up with this overbearing man.

    Damien was approaching the lift when she asked,

   "What floor are we in" 

   "The last and 16th floor. This place is only for myself, my Beta and Gamma." Damien said.

"Wow! 16th!" She said in surprise.

   This last floor was already looking like 5 houses joined together, she wondered how big this place was.

   She wasn't exaggerating when she said everyone in Auburndale could live there.

   "Then who are all these people" she said on noticing some huge men that stood at the front of every door of the rooms.

     "Oh, they are part of the warriors of the pack. They are assigned to guard this floor incase of any intrusion which there wouldn't be. You know, just for security purposes" Damien answered gingerly.

    "You said Beta and Gamma, what's that?" Aurora said as they stepped into the lift.

   Damien pressed some keys on the elevator doors and the iron doors closed.

  "Oh they are people in the pack. Oliver is the second in command after me. We have been friends for a very long time too. While Gamma is like the third in command, he's also my assistant" Damien responded. He loved the way she asked questions and was curious to know more about the pack.

    Damien knew just well that she would come to accept him sooner or later because of the mate bond. 

The mate bond makes it easier for mates to accept each other, no matter what.

    He didn't plan on forcing love on her, he wanted it to come naturally either with mate bond or not.

 He was going to make her fall in love with him.

    "Hmm, interesting," she said.

   "It sure is" 

  Soon they arrived on the first floor and Damien stepped out. Some people were on the first floor including Oliver and Derick.

    Damien stopped feeling Aurora's presence beside him when he turned around only to find her still in the elevator.

   "Planning on sleeping there?" Damien asked so loudly, attracting every other person's attention to himself and her.

  Every eye was on Aurora. Big, small, Male, Female everybody.

Oh My God!

  They all wondered who that girl was as he had never brought her here before.

  What shocked them most was when he walked towards her and said something to her making her face all red.

He acted so sweet which they probably have never seen before.

   Damien knew Aurora would act like this when she saw just a little of the pack. They weren't in their wolf form but the fact that they could shift might scare her.

   Then he walked towards her.

   

   "I wouldn't mind carrying you out of this elevator" Damien said grinning which made Aurora so red.

  She wondered how this man's brain works, does he want her to die out of embarrassment?.

  "No think you Mr Quinn, I have legs for walking" She said giving out a fake smile.

  "Okay then let's go, they don't bite" Damien said and stretched out his hands. Aurora gave out a huge sigh before placing her hands in his.

   They walked slowly out of the lift and Damien couldn't help but look at Aurora's face before smiling.

  She still looked tense.

  He could hear her heartbeat, it's rate became faster than before.

  Damien thought it was better to introduce her to the members of the pack to avoid stories.

   "Listen up everybody!" Damien said, drawing the already drawn attention to himself.

   "Most of y'all here knew about the curse, the curse of me not having a mate but not the prophecy afterwards." He said and turned to look at Aurora.

   "This is Aurora. My mate, and your soon-to-be Luna. So you must answer to her and give her all the respect she deserves. Do I make myself clear?!" 

  "Yes, Supreme Alpha Damien!" They all chorused.

They still didn't believe that the Alpha found his mate after so many centuries of living without a mate.

They all knew Damien was cursed not to have a mate but they didn't know about the prophecy he talked about.

    Looking at the girl, she looked so petite. Not someone they expected to be Damien's mate. But you can't choose your own mate, can you?.

  

    "Pass this information to others who aren't here" Damien said before leaving with Aurora.

    "I didn't ever expect that Damien would find a mate after the whole curse thingy. Hmm, Lucky him…." Derick muttered to Oliver after Damien left the pack house.

   " I know right. He didn't even tell us that all hope isn't lost for him, at least if not you but me" Oliver said, making Derick glare at him.

   "Arrrgh I wonder what my mate looks like. Blonde?" Derick said facepalming himself and disheveling his hair.

    Apparently, the so much love and attention Damien showered on his mate made him a little so emotional.

  This mate bond thing works like crazy.

   "Oh please, A mate? In your dreams. Like you are even up to Eighty" Oliver said and rolled his eyes.

  "Excuse me wolf, I'm eighty five" Derick retorted.

   Wolf's age and growth differs from humans. They stop growing in physe at the age of 10 or 11 until after some years.

    For an Eighty five years old wolf, Derick looked like a man in his early twenties.

     "Ah well, I can't even start to calculate the generations I would have had if I were a human" Oliver said trying to be unnecessarily competitive, as he had lived for centuries too like Damien but then, Damien was still older than him.

   "No, you would have been long dead and forgotten" Derick said.

    Their long lifespan was a thing for them to boast about, as they felt human life was like a flower that could wither as quickly as possible.

    They felt totally superior to humans, aside from the lifespan they were stronger and wiser than humans.

    They still battled with the Vampires as to who was more superior.
