“Books are a uniquely portable magic.” ― Stephen King
Your Son Is Under A Spell !!!
“ Alpha asked you to join him for lunch ” Dexter said and he saw her narrow her big light brown eyes at him and he wondered what was going on in her mind at the moment.
He just hoped that she would listen to him and follow him to the dinning room where Jayden was waiting for her.
Dexter knew how impatient and hot tempered their Alpha was. One slight mistake could incure his wrath talk more of disobeying him or keep him waiting.
He didn't want Jayden to hurt his mate again not after he had almost strangled her to death some hours ago. She was human and his mate for God sake and humans have fragile bodies.
They are the weakest of all creatures and they grow old and die but after being marked by their mates they stay immortal like the Werewolves, Vampires and the Witches.
The Vampires also mark their mates but the Witches and Wizards use their magic to give their mates immortal lives.
As for the humans who fall in love with thier fellow humans grow old and die that's why most humans wished to be the mates of a Werewolf so they could live an immortal life.
But Dexter couldn't understand why this girl as well as their Alpha. The girl was suppose to be happy that the moon goddess paired her together with an Alpha Werewolf but she doesn't look like she would ever love him.
And for Jayden, he had made a bad impression on himself by strangling the girl on their first meeting though Dexter knew how much he loathed the humans for their weakness. He was once like that too, all Werewolves were once like that but after the war years ago he learned to love the humans and other creatures even Kayden, Jayden's twin brother already got his own human mate.
But Jayden still didn't like the humans and he wondered how he was going to treat his mate.
‘ Sierra I hope you know what you're doing ’ Dexter said to the moon goddess in his mind when Ashina’s voice broke him out of his thoughts.
“ Tell your Alpha that I'm not going to join him for lunch ” She said as she went back and sat on the bed with crossed legs and crossed arms.
Shit ! This girl is quite sturbborn..
Has she forgetten that she almost died some hours ago ?
Dexter feared what Jayden would do to his mate if she didn't join him for lunch so he had to think of a way.
He walked closer to her and stopped three steps away from her and he said in a gentle voice “ Look I know you're still mad at him for what he did but you haven't eaten anything yet since you fainted so...”
“ I'm not hungry and stop acting like you care ” Ashina said and scoffed.
Dexter smiled when he heard what she said “ I do care about you that's why I'm here standing in the room with you so please follow me to the dinning room please ”
“ What made you think I'll follow you ” She said and Dexter sighed.
He didn't know what else to do again. He knew that right now Jayden will be furious and soon he might come angrily to the room and do something he might regret later and just as he thought he heard the Alpha's angry voice through mind link.
[ Dexter ]
[ Yes Alpha ]
[Why haven't I seen her yet !!! ]
[ Hehe... We are on our way Alpha please be patient ] He said laughing but he could feel Jayden's enraged breathing through the mind link and he knew that it wasn't the time to laugh.
Just as he was busy talking with the Alpha, Ashina was busy with her own thoughts. She was thinking of how to escape from them even though she didn't know how.
She thought of how her Aunt and Uncle will be feeling now even her little brother Nate. They will miss her so much as she was missing them too.
She knew that by now Chloe and Bel must have known about her absence. Speaking of her friends she remembered that they were going to free Ray today and she wondered if Chloe had found out about his location yet and it made her angry that she didn't know what was happening right now but she was more angrier at herself that she left her phone at home else she would have called.
Suddenly she felt as though she couldn't breathe, her throat felt very dry and she was dying to drink water. She hadn't tasted even a drop of water since she woke up this morning, she didn't even finished eating her breakfast before she was being kidnapped.
Maybe she should follow him to the dinning room not to meet their Alpha but to drink water and after that she would return back to this room and plan her escape.
Yes, that's what she would do.
She stood up from the bed and at the same time the mind link between the Alpha and Dexter got disconnected and Dexter narrowed his eyes at her.
“ Alright, let's go ” Ashina said and Dexter gave her a suspicious look. “ What ? Why are you staring at me like that ” She asked and he grinned while scratching the back of his head.
“ Nothing, I'm just surprised you changed your mind so quickly ” He said.
“ Well, I'm not following you to the dinning room because I'm obeying your Alpha but I'm going there because I feel thirsty ”
“ Oh.. So you're thirsty but you're not hungry huh ”
“ Are you going to take me there or not ” Ashina said glaring at him.
“ Sure, sure follow me ” Dexter said and they both left the room. Ashina was short of words when they got into the hallway. It was painted in cream colour and the tiles were white and transperant that you could see yourself while walking on it.
A beautiful chandelier was hung at the center of the hallway as it produced it's bright light. Soon they passed two more golden iron doors and they finally got into the dinning room.
The dinning room was more beautiful than she ever imagined. It was luxurious and beautifully decorated. The sun was streaming in from the two large windows at the sides giving the whole place a soft glow and warm feeling on the skin.
Ashina was still taking her time to admire the dinning when she felt like someone was watching and she looked up to see pairs of yellow slited eyes staring at her and she felt her heart stop for a second when she stared at his face.
She had almost forgotten how gorgeous looking he was, the man was extremely beautiful with his bright yellow intimidating eyes and then the she inhaled the most intoxicating and sweet scent and it made her knees go weak just by smelling it.
She wondered where the sweet scent came from because it can't be the food or maybe it was...
But then realization hit her and she knew that such kind of intoxicating scent must be coming from him but how she could she smell him ?
Does that means that she was truly his mate ?
No ! That can't be.
It can never happen !
She was not his mate and he was not her mate either.
She couldn't believe that she had almost loose her guard a few seconds ago and she immediately composed herself and glared at him while crossing her arms in front of her chest.
Jayden was sitted on a plush cream colour chair with a wide round table in front of him with different kinds of food placed on it. There were at least three more chairs surrounding the round table.
He mind link his Gamma to leave so it will just be him and his mate in the dinning room and Dexter immediately left as quiet as he can without making a sound.
“ Sit ” Jayden said but the girl didn't move an inch where she stood still glaring at him.
The nerve of this girl !!!
No on had ever disobey him before and she had not only insulted him but disobey him too.
“ I told you I don't take orders from you because you're not my Alpha and mind you I didn't come here because you asked me to, I came here on my own ” Ashina said without minding the fact that the Alpha's eyes was changing from yellow to black.
“ SHUT UP YOUR MOUTH AND SIT DOWN NOW !!! ” Jayden said in his Alpha voice and Ashina felt her body trembling from hearing his change of voice and she saw that his eyes were pitch black again and his body was shaking in anger.
She immediately sat down so as not to get on his bad side again. She remembered that before she had passed out, she had heard one of his members pleading on her behalf for him to release her but this time no one was here to plead for her and she realized that Dexter was no longer standing behind her.
When did he leave ?
how could he leave her with this ruthless Alpha.
“ Next time you talk back to me in that manner again I'll make sure to punish you that you won't be able to lift a finger when I'm done with you, now eat ” Jayden said leaving no room for agruement and she gulped hard.
If only he knew that she came to the dinning because she was thirsty and not to eat with him but now that he had threatened her under those icy glare he was giving her she had no choice but to eat with him.
She didn't immediately eat but she knew that he wasn't looking at her anymore so she used that opportunity to peek at him and she saw his thick eyelashes cast down on his high cheekbones.
He was so handsome, like a god. But a god in human form only that his wicked heart didn't match his handsome face.
Ashina didn't realize that she was now gawking at him instead of eating until she saw him raise his head up and look at her and she quickly looked down at his food to avoid his eyes.
She then noticed that he was eating half cooked meat with traces of blood on them and she felt like throwing up even though she hasn't eaten anything.
Why the hell would he eat half cooked meat with blood on them ?
Was it because he was a Werewolf ?
Jayden felt the eyes of his mate on him and he knew that she was looking at him but he pretended not to notice. He knew that she was staring at him because of his handsomeness and he was used to it as every she Werewolf of his park were always gwaking at him.
There was a time Alpha Nicholas of the blue moon park under his territory had given him his daughter Klara to be his mate as he didn't want to have anything to do with his human mate.
But then her touch on him, her kisses, whatever they did together doesn't move him. He didn't feel what he wanted to fell with her. Jayden never liked Clara but he was just using her to keep himself busy apart from having meetings with other Alpha's and then one day he told Klara to stop seeing him until he asked for her presence.
But this morning while he was strangling his mate he felt the spark from her, what he had always wanted to feel but his anger clouded his senses and the feeling did not last long.
“ Why are you not eating ” He asked her and he saw her raised her head up to look at him and she scoffed.
“ Who knew if you poison the food to kill me but just so you know I didn't wish to be your mate ” Ashina said as she stab a piece of meat on her plate in anger.
“ And who says I want you too ” Jayden said as he ate the bloodied meat on his plate “ And why will I poison you when they are other ways to kill you... Painfully ” He made to say the last part audible for her to hear and then he added “ If not for the mate bond a weak human like you wouldn't be sitting here with me ”
Ashina rolled her eyes after she heard what he said and she finally put a piece of meat into her mouth “ I'm not weak ” She said and she watched him stand up after drinking water and he wipe his mouth clean.
“ Hey where do you think you're going ”
“ It's none of your business of where I'm going so eat up for the third time and go back to your room ” Jayden said and turn around to leave without looking at her.
“ What ? My room ? That's not my room, I don't belong here and I want to go back home to my family ” Ashina said standing up with her knuckles pressed hard on the table.
“ This is your home from now on and with time you'll learn to forget about your family ” Jayden said with his back turned towards her.
“ You can't keep me here as a prisoner, I'm not your prisoner ” She screamed at the shut door and tears fell from her eyes.
She must find a way to get out of here.
She sat down and drank some water to wet her dry throat and she began to eat to feed her hungry stomach. She had been pretending not to be hungry while he asked her to eat but now that he wasn't here she would eat as she likes.
༺♡༻
Back at the Holand mansion.....
Chloe and Bel had sucessfully gotten into the beautiful mansion but they hadn't seen any sign of Ray anywhere.
Before they had gotten into the mansion with the Vampires guards, they had seen brood of Vampires walking here and there.
But now they were now sitting in the cell because Chloe spell broke away from the Vampires guards and they were both thrown into the cell for trespassing.
“ Bel I'm so sorry ” Chloe said.
“ For what ? ”
“ It was because of me that both of us are sitting here in the cell ”
“ It's alright ”
“ I miss Ashina already ”
“ Me too ” Bel said.
“ I hope we see her soon ”
“ I wonder what she's doing right now ”
“ She's with her mate of course ” Bel said. “ We should be thinking of how to get out of here ”
“ I don't think they will let us see Ray and I don't think we will be able to break the spell of him ”
“ Hmm ” Bel just hummed as usual and then they heard the sound of the lock being opened and they both looked up and saw the Vampire named Louis standing in front of them with a frown on his face.
“ You two up on your feets, the Lord wants to meet with you ” Louis said while holding the iron door opened for them to pass.
“ Lord ? ” Bel and Chloe said in sync.
Soon they were both standing in front of of a tall red haired man who was sitted on a plush red colour chair with crossed legs. He was dressed in a white shirt that brought out his strong muscular body and black pants that brought out his long lean legs.
His dark red eyes scrutinized the two girls standing in front of him with a frown on his face and he looked at Louis and then back at the girls.
“ My guards told me you're here to see my son and why is that ? ” The man said.
“ Son ? ” Bel said with surprise in her eyes and she looked at Chloe.
“ Ray is your son ” Chloe said.
“ Are you both trying to play dumb with me or do you want to get thrown back into the cell ” The man said with no smile on his face.
“ Um.. What ? No ! ” Chloe said.
“ We are not trying to play dumb with you but your son is under a spell ” Bel went straight to the point.
