I think I like him

OLIVE

I batted my lashes when I saw the ruthless alpha. My heart did a happy dance. I could feel a sensation, the same I felt when I first met my met some years back. I rolled my eyes. I can't be mated to two people right?. I'm sure I wasn't mated to two alphas. But why does my heart do a happy dance and why the sensation?. Maybe it's because he had been my crush ever since I heard about him. You see, I have always loved guys with badass personalities. Someone who can stand for himself not someone like my mate who is so cute and weak. "Someone finally accepts that her mate is cute," my subconscious mind said. I mentally slapped myself for saying he's cute. I'm not disputing the fact that he's cute, but the fact that he's weak makes me not like him. "You rejected him, right before you found out he was weak" my subconscious mind pressed further.

I rolled my eyes. I should bother more about the ruthless alpha standing right in front of me, not arguing with my subconscious mind for nothing. I stared at the ruthless alpha again and then blinked. This can't be him. This can't be the ruthless alpha!!. The same that is been feared by many. I rolled my eyes. Can he be the ruthless alpha?. I don't even know him nor have I come in contact with him. I have only heard about him but have not seen him before. It remains a mystery what his real identity looks like and though it's past two years, since he became known as the ruthless alpha, no one had ever seen his face or knows what he looks like behind his mask. Rumors had said he was a member of the moonline pack. Some said he was the alpha of the sunlight pack. None of these had been proven and his identity remained undetected. All we know is that he's ruthless. He stared at me and then whispered something to his guard, his eyes not leaving mine. I couldn't keep my gaze on him, for fear of being hurt. My heart kept beating in a loud rhythm. My nerves were jumping so badly it was a wonder I could stand still. My clammy hands gripped each other in my lap as I wondered what he was saying to his guards. I tried to see if I had come in contact with him before without knowing. Maybe I had done something to him and he has decided to punish me at school. If I offend him in any way, that's my end. I flinched. I could remember my dad saying this alpha kills without mercy. I batted my lashes. I am not ready to be a victim of his unrequited wrath and anger. His guard stared at me and then asked me to kneel, which I did.

The look on his guard's face, made my heart beat so fast. I did not do anything to him right?, I thought. I can't remember coming across him or his guards. I sighed. That makes me free for his wrath. "Why did you disrespect my master," the guard said

I rolled my eyes. Did I disrespect him?. How?, when?, Where?. I blinked. "I-i" I breathe in and out. I sighed. "I-i can't remember disrespecting him"

His guard stared at me, then whispered something to his boss. He whispered back and I rolled my eyes. Why does he prefer whispering instead of talking?. "You are so lucky, my boss is in a good mood". My lips curved into a smile. I'm safe. "He wants you to stand up and come closer". I batted my lashes. Why does he want me to come closer to him?. "Now!!"

I rolled my eyes and stood up. I walked closer to him and froze. His scent is so familiar, but I just can't remember who owns it. He walked closer to me and I gulped down nothing. He raised his hand and placed it on my face. The sensation I felt was something had never felt in my life. He trailed his hand down my face. His hand stopped on my lips. I shivered at his touch. What's he doing to me?. Even my mate never made me feel this way. "Has he ever touched you?" My subconscious mind asked. "How would you know what his touch feels like when you didn't even give him a chance". I rolled my eyes. There is no point giving chance to a weakling. The coldness I felt on my face, made me, jerk, bringing me back to reality. I tried to turn to see what had touched my cheek, but his hand was holding me so close to him. I felt the cold on my neck as he trailed kisses. I tried restraining myself but I was losing it. I couldn't push him away either. He sniffed in my scent.

He whispered something to me

His voice, all hoarse and husky give me the shivers in a really good way. I couldn't process what he said early enough until he said it again. "You are my mate". I flinched. Mate? how?. How is that even possible?.

I moved away from him, my heart beating real bad. That can't be possible right?. It has never been heard of that a person could be mated to two people and both are alphas. I blinked. None I have heard of. I stared at him. "I-i". I sighed. I needed as much courage as I could gather in this time. I tried to calm myself before speaking up again. "I-i, I'm sorry. No disrespect intended but I have a mate"

"The one you rejected" the guard answered and I groaned. For the first time, I had to regret why I rejected my mate. I couldn't utter a word. I do not want to say something that would anger the ruthless alpha. He might not spare me even when he considers me his mate.

"He hasn't accepted the reject yet" my subconscious mind reminded me and I blinked. I folded my clammy hands together. I was already losing my strength and I felt like I will faint very soon. I had never felt this weak before. "I-i know but he hasn't accepted the reject yet that make me still mated to him"

The ruthless alpha stared at me and I wished my mate had accepted the rejection. Gosh, that look was deadly. He gestured to his guard to come closer. I don't know what he said to his guard but he laughed My eyes switched. What did he say to his guard to make him laugh? I swallowed down nothing. What have I gotten into?. The guard suddenly stopped laughing. "My boss has given you two days to make your guard accept the rejection or he will be killed"

I batted my lashes. What?. Does he want to kill my mate?. I went down on my knees. "Please don't kill him"

The guard furrowed his brows. "You don't want him dead?"

I blinked. I don't know what I want but hearing his life been in danger, made me want to beg for him. "I don't want him dead"

"You love him?"

I raised an eyebrow. Love?. Did he just say, love?. I don't love him. Why will I love a weak like him?. "I don't love him. I just don't want him dead"

The guard scoffed. "You don't love him and you don't want him dead. You're daft"

"Martins!!" The ruthless alpha yelled. He must have used his alpha tone cause I flinched. "You don't talk to your luna like that"

The guard bowed. "I'm so sorry, boss"

"Apologize to her"

I furrowed my brows. To who?. Me?. "I'm sorry luna" I blinked. Did he just call me luna?.

The alpha whispered to his guard. The guard stared at me and said, "he won't kill your rejected mate,". Slowly, my heart returned to my chest and began beating in regular rhythm again. "Not in two days". My eyes switched. Not in two days?. Then when?. "But in a month if you don't accept him completely or reject him completely"

I batted my lashes. I have to either reject him completely or accept him?. I groaned. I don't think I want any of the two. And I don't want him dead either. "C-can you give me two months, please"

The alpha whispered something to his guard again. "Have it your way. In two months he will be back"

I watched them leave and I sighed. How will I get my mate to accept the rejection?. I don't even want him to reject me. "Is that I sign of love?" my subconscious mind asked

I groaned. "I don't love him"

"You do"

"I do not"

"Maybe you like him then"

I batted my lashes. I have never thought about that. Can it be that I like him?. Why do I feel overprotective of him?. I blinked. I think I like him!!.
