An Enemy Called Mate

That should be what he meant. I and Alpha Xander’s wedding night should have been our consummation night, and as his woman, I should have his scent or aura on my body. However, we were not involved, so there is no sign of his claim on me.

The same man stretched his neck, gazing down at my neck. “You are not even marked,” he spoke, “Your lies are pathetic, little girl…”

“No, no. I’m telling the truth,” I protested, though I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably.

“Little girl, don’t cry,” he spoke gently, reaching out to touch my face. I jerked away from his hand, not wanting him to touch me, but he pulled me close.

With his hand caressing my wet cheeks, he uttered softly, “I am their leader, so you can stay with me tonight.”

The other men giggled at his statement, while my heart squeezed. I knew what they were capable of, maltreating and abusing women are their foods.

Instead of crying, I mustered courage, and pushed the man’s hand off.

“You don’t wish to do this to your Alpha’s wife. You will regret this, so it’s best you run while you can!” I spoke, with my voice not croaking for once.

I expected the men to flee in fear, or at least respect me, but instead, they laughed mockingly. The man who called himself the leader laughed, too.

I eyed them warily, trying to understand their laughter. Didn’t I speak with confidence?

“Don’t be a fool,” I heard the leader utter, as he raised his gaze. His dark, menacing gaze looked over me, as a smile crept on his face.

“Alpha Xander killed his mate the other time. He killed his other mates too. So, even if you are his wife, mistress, or whatever you call yourself, you are useless. Soon, you will be thrown like a piece of rag, and you will be before me, on your knees, begging me to let you be my woman.” He smirked.

His statements hit me right in the chest. He was right, I was already thrown out like a piece of rag, and here I am, trying to escape from this den.

Pushing his hand against my shoulder, I stumbled back, because of his strong push and fell.

Then, the men around closed in, forming a tight circle around me, meanwhile, their leader was in the middle, and he stood tall before me.

“Why don’t we have a little welcome fun?” He asked, and I felt a wave of nausea wash over me, my stomach twisting in knots.

I’ve never wanted anything from the Moon Goddess after what happened to my eighteenth birthday. But Moon Goddess, I need you now. Save me from these beasts!

While praying inwardly for the Moon Goddess, I moved back as the leader approached me dangerously, with his hands pulling down his pants zips.

“Blaise!” A voice thundered, and the men around me looked away. Meanwhile, I took that opportunity to rush under their legs and move toward the horizontal bar.

Though, the bars won’t do a thing, or help me out of this situation since I can’t pass through because it is locked. But, I decided to cling my body unto the bars, and when the men try to bring me out, I won’t move an inch. I will stay glued to the bars, till someone unlocks it.

“Leave the girl to Big Boss,” The voice that attracted the men’s attention spoke authoritatively. But that sent a shiver down my spine.

Moon Goddess, I wanted to be saved, I prayed to be saved, not to move into another trouble. Certainly, the person who spoke was referring to me. I was referred to as a girl and the Big Boss would definitely be the Leader’s superior. ( ; . ; )

The sound of grumbles echoed, and the men scattered, walking away from me. They passed their leader’s side and moved away, with their facial expression spelling out disappointment.

Great! They are gone!

“Big Boss is worse, don’t get excited yet,” The leader spoke, smirking again. I gulped down his statement, cursing myself for asking the Moon Goddess for help. I should have known that the Moon Goddess hates me, just like Alpha Darwin and his horrible Luna.

Afterward, he left my presence as some other men replaced him.

They didn’t even hesitate to touch me. They looked muscular, and they grabbed my hands, attempting to drag me away from the bars.

No matter how I tried to hold onto the bars, my hands kept slipping off. In no time at all, I was pulled away from the bars like a spineless werewolf.

The men dragged me by my arms, and they pushed me into a room. The room was a large one. It was brightened with different colors, most especially purple or blue.

But I didn’t focus on the colors. Instead, I focused on the large bed in the center of the room which was draped with heavy curtains.

The men who brought me into the room, bowed their heads at the curtain. As soon as the men turned around, obviously attempting to leave, I turned around too, wanting to leave too.

But when we reached the door, the men pushed me back into the room, and the sound of a click echoed. Click was the sound of a lock. The door was locked!

Rushing towards the door, I pushed my body against it, trying to push the door open. To be precise, my pushes did not have any effect on the door.

Then, I balled my hands into fists and banged them against the door. I yelled for help once again, like someone would barge in and miraculously save me after I’d been shouting for help since I was dragged into this den.

Even if someone helps me, I will definitely throw a slap on the person’s face. After making me panic and tremble for a long time, they should have arrived earlier!

The sound of giggles filled the room, distracting me from the futile efforts I made towards opening the damn door. My ear rang at the giggles, and they sounded feminine.

I gazed at what I assumed the giggles emerged from, glancing warily at the large bed that was covered with curtains. Unexpectedly, the curtains slid open!
