CHAPTER 3
Damien POV
I could not hold my excitement when I left the home of the Blake's.
Finally, after waiting for so long I've finally found my mate.
William Blake is such a smart man. He knows how dangerous it will be for his daughter if she stays around him. He did a great job in hiding her far away from here.
Am not the only one he's owing and am sure if they knew he had a daughter, they would have taken her before I came along and sold her or used her in their clubs to make money. I believe he sent her away so she wouldn't experience the cruelty of the underground.
Someday I'll have to thank him for that because I can't imagine my mate being trafficked or stripping in clubs. " I would have killed anyone that put her through any of that".
Thank God for my wolf enhanced smell, If i had not perceived her scent from the clothes she gave to her personal maid, i wouldn't have known that he had a daughter. It's a good thing i decided to go visit my debtors myself.
Am super excited, although I haven't laid eyes on her or even seen a picture of her, I still longed for her because she's my other half " My Mate ".
My wolf was so restless and unhappy. He kept growling in my head for leaving without her. I tried to talk to him but he shut me out angrily.
I'll just let him be for now. Am sure we'll both be happy and fulfilled when we bring our mate home.
We were heading home now. I wont be going back to the office because I need to inform my parents that I've found my mate and inform my pack that their Luna will arrive tomorrow.
They need to be very careful around her so they don't spill the beans. " I can't just walk up to her and announce that “am a big bad wolf".. I'll need to get to know her first then when she falls in love with me I'll tell her about us. I know it won't be long before she falls for me because the mate bond will draw her to me.
I kept smiling as we drove home. I can't wait to meet her.
"Wipe that stupid grin off your face " Ralph teases me.
"I can't help it man, am smitten already " i responded still grinning from ear to ear.
"I know you are man and am so happy for you, Finally you'll stop screwing that rude omega and all the girls working in your clubs.” He teases me.
"Shut the fuck up Ralph."
When we arrived I broke the news to my parents and my pack. They accepted the news with so much joy and promised to hide our identities until am ready to tell her.
I instructed the maids to prepare the room opposite my room for her then I went to my office in the pack house to prepare a contract for William Blake stating that she is now mine.
Stacy came into my office dressed in a very short black leather skirt that barely over her ass. She’s wearing a red crop top and red hills and I watched in disgust as she sauntered towards me licking her lips seductively as she smiles widely. She bent down and leaned on my table, letting me see her cleavage.
"Hey lover boy, did you miss me?" she purred in a seductive tone, batting he eyelashes at me. "Why didn't you knock?" I asked her in a strict tone, completely ignoring her seduction.
"Since when do I have to knock before coming to satisfy my Alpha?" She said as she walked around to where I sat and sat on my table, making sure her thighs were wide open and her red thong was exposed.
"I've told you to stop calling me your Alpha; am not yours because you're not my mate, Now get your ass off my table, I have work to do." I said to her as I shoved her away, pushing her off my table.
She gritted her teeth angrily and stalked over to the other side of the table wearing a deep frown on her face.
"Are pushing me away because of that human girl you said was you mate?" She asked rudely. Hearing her refer to my mate with such disrespect made me lose it and I went all Alpha on her.
"You will not disrespect my mate in my presence " I screamed at her with my Alpha voice while releasing my Alpha aura to subdue her. "She's your Luna and you'll give her the respect she deserves." I added in anger.
"Yes Alpha." She responded with her head bowed in submission and turned to leave angrily. "One more thing," I added when she neared the door.
"As of today, I don't want to ever see you except it's official business. We're done Stacy." I announced to her with a smug smile on my face.
Her eyes widened in shock and she started pleading hysterically like a sex deprived tramp.
"Please Alpha don't cut all ties with me, I promise I'll behave and I'll never do anything to provoke your mate but please don't leave me. I can satisfy you better than her. She’s only human, she can’t keep up with your wild desires, I know exactly how you like it.” She pleaded shamelessly and I felt so disgusted.
"Get the fuck out of my office Stacy, you're beginning to disgust me," I screamed at her angrily and she scurried away.
I wonder why I kept fucking her even when I know that am not the only one she's shagging.
Its true she satisfies my immediate desires when they arise but she's not my mate and she doesn't make me feel fulfilled.
I know I was quite cold to her considering that we've had sex several times but I need to draw the line right now before my mate arrives.
I finished drawing the contract and then I went down for dinner.
After dinner I went for a run in the woods to appease my wolf who has been ignoring me since I got back. After my run I went to bed with great expectations for tomorrow.
When I arrived at the home of the Blake's the next day, I was told that Williams has gone to bring her back and they were already on their way home.
"They better arrive soon or you're both dead ." I said to Williams wife and son.
They nodded in understanding and I sat down on a single chair working on my laptop, ignoring everyone around, “acting all bossy and aloof, you know what I mean."
A car drove in and one of my boys whisper to me that they've arrived.
He's human, that's why he doesn't know that I've sensed her presence already.
I just nodded in response and continued working on my laptop, acting like I didn't care when in truth am tempted to run out and hug her to myself, holding her so close to me and kissing her.
My wolf was growling and jumping in joy while screaming "Mate."
"Mate! Its our mate Damien, go to her. Bring her home," Alvin my wolf kept screaming in my head.
"Shut up Alvin, I know she's here and I'm bringing her home today, so sit tight and let me work." I said brusquely, leaving no room for further argument.
I was distracted by Alvin so I didn't see them coming in. I only looked up when I heard Ralph laughing quite hysterically. I had to look up immediately, Then I saw her and I froze immediately as I saw the reason behind Ralph's laughter.
"Is she a fucking nun?" I asked in confusion.
I glared at Ralph who was finding it hard to control his laughter, I flashed him a warning glance, making him keep mute immediately.
She was dressed in a habit and veil, just like a nun and she even looks and behaves like one too.
"What kind of sick joke is this? I asked glaring at William Blake who just kept his head down saying absolutely nothing to me.
"The moon goddess must be feeling quite hilarious today." I thought to myself.
How can she give me a nun for a mate?
What am I supposed to do with her?
Now am beginning to regret how I treated stacy.
This girl can never satisfy my desires. My father will kill me if I reject my mate and my mother and my pack will be disappointed in me.
Alvin was sensing my negativity and reluctance and he kept howling and purring in my head, urging me to go to our mate.
I was having these conflicting thoughts while everyone just starred at me, waiting for my instructions. Ralph also sensed my reluctance and mind linked me.
"What's wrong man? Don't tell me you're thinking of rejecting her just because of her upbringing.” "I don't know man. it just seems so wrong." I admitted sadly.
"The moon goddess is never wrong. She chose her as your mate for a reason Damien. I admit that seeing her dressed in a veil and habit is quite funny but she's still my Luna and am sorry I laughed. Bring our Luna home bro. we've waited for so long for her.” He advices me with a smile.
I maintained my cold expression and looked up. They all had their heads down in submission and fear except for her.
She eyed each of my men warily until her eyes met mine and she gasped as her eyes widened in shock when I caught her looking. she looked down immediately feeling guilty.
"Now am curious about her. It seems there's more to her than meets the eye and I intend to uncover it all.”
"What's your name?" I asked her.
"Sofia," She said almost like a whisper but with my wolf hearing, I heard her clearly. "How old are you Sofia?"
"I'm 19 years old " she said in that same tiny whisper that sounds so warm to my ears.
"Am guessing you know why am here. am a man of few words and I don't have time to waste on unnecessary formalities. Let's get on with this " I said coldly, casting a glance at her parents.
I stood up and went with her father to his office to sign the contract I had drawn earlier on.
I mind linked Ralph to get one of the boys to move her belongings to my car, I don’t want to waste any time here.
I walked out to see her hugging her mum and comforting her, assuring her that she's going to be fine.
"Let's go." I said as I walked out without sparing a glance at her.
My wolf wanted me to go and reassure her that all will be well but I needed to maintain my reputation as a cold and ruthless mafia Lord.
I could feel my heart tugging at me as I walked out. my heart yearns for her. I mind linked Ralph to go comfort her and bring her to the car but he refused my order for the first time in his life.
"She's your mate Damien, go get her yourself." he replied to me with a frown that shows just how much he dislikes my reaction to my mate.
I glared at him as I walked back in, held her hand and walked out with her. I felt the sparks where our skin made contact. Its felt so warm and comforting, sending tingles down every part of my body.
She felt it too as she looks up at me with mixed feelings because she doesn’t know what future awaits her in my possession.
