Amber’s POV
.
After checking everything I looked into my mate’s eyes, who were sitting on the couch. Blood was still dripping from his wounded knuckle but he didn’t give a damn about that because he was busy fuming in anger. Even though he was angry, I found him breathtakingly handsome. I was scared a bit because I knew I did wrong. That’s why I walked toward him, and his eyes didn’t leave mine. I stopped when I was within arm’s reach from him.
“I can explain.”
“Trust me, darling, you can’t.”, He replied in a cold tone.
“I’m sorry for sneaking out without informing you. I really am. I know because of me you were worried and distressed but trust me, this fact didn’t come to mind at that time.”
“That’s it, Amber? Didn’t anyone tell you how many unknown enemies are around us? The situation is getting out of control because of those dogs and leeches and you guys were planning to have fun. What the hell were you two thinking?”, He yelled and broke the glass table which was in front of me with his wounded hand.
“Please, don’t hurt yourself in anger.”
“Then what should I do? Hurt you?”, He yelled again and his voice echoed on the wall. My wolf whimpered before our mate was angry at us. The situation was much scarier than the one before. I couldn’t believe that I was the same girl who threatened those three werewolves while getting scared of my own furious mate. I knew my mate was capable of hurting anyone in his anger. Though he had been taking sessions, I had no idea how long he could handle his anger.
“You will now not be allowed to leave the house. I had already lost my mother, my father is in hospital fighting for his life and I don’t want to lose any of my close ones. Do you understand that?”, He ordered and stood up on his feet to leave from there.
Immediately my wolf refused to follow his order.
‘There’s no way we are going to listen to him. We have spent all our life, locked in a house, working as a slave, and now he can’t cage us again.”, She growled, to which I agreed to her.
I was already an idiot who knew nothing about this world and staying in Alex’s shower was definitely something I didn’t want to do. Moreover, Lily told me about this family nature. Everything was handled by men only because as per them, they are born to handle the house and look after the family.
Not to mention, everyone still followed his father’s order even though all were already adults. I had never met my mate’s father but what I came to know about his personality was no less than a trader.
He chose a bride for his elder son just for the settlement of the debt.
He had already fixed Lily’s marriage with an old man for business collaboration.
Like father, Like son, I couldn’t let him decide my fate because if I let him decide my fate today then I wouldn’t be in that position to go against him again.
“No.”
“Excuse me?”
“You can’t ask me to spend all my life by staying in this damn house. I will go out with or without your permission. In fact, why will I even take permission from you? I will go ou…”
SLAPP!!
I gasped and eventually brought my hand near my cheek and looked into my mate's eyes. Tears started welling in my eyes.
‘He hit me.
Our mate hit us.’
It took me a while to process what just happened.
My mate was no different from my Alpha and Luna. Immediately all his anger was replaced by horror.
“I’m so so sorry”, He stepped forward and grabbed my shoulders. “I didn't mean to slap you. I have no idea how that happened. I’m..”
“Save it.”, I hissed and grabbed his shirt, trying to push him back. I knew I could easily kick him and hurt him by using my wolf’s strength but no matter how pissed she was, she wasn’t going to help me in hurting our mate. “Just like you didn’t want you to slap me, in the same way, we didn’t want to sneak out but we knew that either you will cancel our plan or send guards with you.”, I said, still trying to push him but he just didn’t budge. I used all my human strength to repel him but he wouldn’t move an inch. Though his hands on my shoulders were not touching me, I hated to feel so weak in front of him.
“Let go of me! I’m not going to be your puppet and will follow all your orders. I want to leave. I don’t want to stay with you. Let me go!”, I screamed at the top of my lungs.
Before I knew it my body was lifted off the ground and slammed into his body with his arms now tightly wrapped around me. Every muscle in my body froze.
“Did you forget that those Knights sold you instead of her daughter, to me for the settlement of debts?”, He asked angrily. “You’re not going anywhere, woman, and becoming my bride is your fate.”
Before I had time to respond he crashed his lips to mine and everything stopped moving for me. Everything but his lips on mine.
‘Though he’s not a werewolf but he’s as possessive as an Alpha Male for his mate.’, My wolf squealed like a little girl.
My mate was pouring all his love through the kiss. I could smell that, and also, I could smell his regret for slapping me.
A part of me knew that he didn’t do anything intentionally but the other part was adamant about not forgiving him easily.

Third Person’s POV
.
“Dad, Remember the werewolf girl who was with Lily all the time during my birthday party?”
“How can I forget her! You should have kidnapped her after knowing that she will be the future bride of that hunter’s Elder son instead of Lily.”, Her father said, gathering the information about how Alexander Stone adores his future wife.
“So that, she would have kicked everyone’s ass?”, Aurora’s said in a sarcastic tone.
“What do you mean? I don’t think anyone can match your wolf’s strength. Our ancestors used to be the Beta of the packs.”, Her father said in a proud tone but that didn’t last long when Aurora shocked him by saying, “And she’s an Alpha! A freaking Alpha, dad. I got so scared when her wolf showed up. You know Peter and Jacob (those two men who were helping Aurora in digging the grave) looked like they would pee in their pants anytime when her wolf roared. While I had to fight all I can keep myself from shivering in fear, my wolf was going nuts with that girl and on the top, everyone’s wolf was ready to submit in front of her.”
“That’s impossible.”, Her father scoffed. “There’s no Alpha in the whole city.”
“If you think I’m lying then you can ask Peter and Jacob.”, Aurora said, getting irritated. She started leaving the room when she recalled something more. “And do you know what was the strangest thing with her? She was thinking of herself as Omega. It seemed like she had no idea about her identity.”
“Really?”
“Hmm”, She hummed, nodding her head.
“That’s perfect.”, Her father said with a sinister smile and Aurora could guess that he was going to do something big.
