Damn...

Anne's pov.

My heart sank as I fell on my knees in realization of what I had just done. I begged earnestly apologizing to the alpha and his cousin.

"I'm sorry, Alpha David let me apologize on her behalf I'll make sure to punish her personally. "

The head maid said dragging me out aggressively. I was miserable, I only wanted to save the life my mate but I guess I didn't think about the after effect before acting . I bowed my head in shame as eyes peered . I had received worse embarrassment but this felt worse maybe because it was done in front my mate. q

"Halt. "

My eyes lit up as a voice I was at expecting to say a works at this point just ordered one, Alpha jackson . I wished the mate bond was actually real.

"Yes, Alpha."

"Maid anne, what would happen to the clothing's you ruined ? Even you salary in ten years won't handle the bills. "

The alpha said with a dead stare, I swallowed hard.

"I will pay it off even I have to sell off everything my parents left me ,I will surely pay it back. "I pleaded sincerely.

"Jackson , there's no need I didn't really fancy this wear. I'm cool"

Alpha David said on my behalf.

"Okay , but she would still be punished. By me.

Take her out." he ordered the head maid .

"Drag her carefully." he added.

My eyes lit up with warmth, was he really showing an atom of affection . The mate bond, it must be real. It felt like I should be dragged away more often.

Jackson's pov.

This anne of a girl , what was she doing? How dare she embarrass me in front of guest.

At first I got blank in shock . I couldn't believe a person could be this uncultured and to think that this was my mate got me overwhelmed.

What can I do to get rid of this girl without getting rid of her? I thought in my mind .

I just started as the head maid Laura dragged her out of the hall, starting at he in pain my heart felt tight. Why? I asked myself . The more I stared the more it became harder to look it felt like I could feel her pain or rather her discomfort affected me.

"Halt. "

This word left my lips. what was I doing ? Did I feel pity for this maid ? I can't let a soft spot develop for her.

Maid anne, what would happen to the clothing's you ruined ? Even you salary in ten years won't handle the bills. "

I spoke out refusing to give in to the bond

"I will pay it off even I have to sell off everything my parents left me ,I will surely pay it back. "I pleaded sincerely.

"Jackson , there's no need I didn't really fancy this wear. I'm cool"David assured.

I wasn't even concerned about what David said I was more bothered by the fact that the mate bond was acting up .

"Okay she would still be punished. By me. Take her out. "

After saying this sentence I tried to maintain composure and ignore the pushing of my wolf and the agonizing pain I felt due to wolf bond. I tried not to show an ounce of affection but I couldn't bear it any longer as words soaked in affection left my mouth "Drag her carefully"

I felt good after saying that but I also felt bad for showing affection .After she was taken out of the hall I kept thinking about her, not seeing her face made me burn with sadness. I couldn't concentrate, the meal felt bland. What I avoided the most had started occurring , I feared for that painful recurrence.

"So Jackson how have you been and how is the preparation for your parents memorial going about?" David asked but I stared lost.

"Jackson!Jackson!Jackson!"

The constant calling of my name accompanied with a wave to my face brought me back to reality. I was loosing it.

"Yeah David."

"Are you good?you seemed lost for a second." David asked concerned .

"Yeah I'm good but I would like to retire to my room now didn't get enough sleep at night."

"Okay Bro. Won't be going back this night by the way." David informed.

"No problem,make yourself at home."

I added then left to my room still in thoughts worried about this bond,it's making me loose my mind.

I need to clear my mind ,maybe I'm just worrying too much maybe its not the bond,I mean it's normal for an alpha to care for his pack.yeah ,so now I would just take my bath and head to bed.

I took a deep breath as I headed to the bathroom by this time I was already in my room.

"('knock,knock')Alpha Jackson ,it's Anne."

Anne's voice accompanied the knock on the door,my heartbeat accelerated but I swallowed each beat with toughness.

"Come in."

I threw at her nonchalantly. I had just finished bathing and had my towel wrapped firmly around my waist,I didn't see this as an issue but rather I felt it made the scenario more natural.

Anne's pov.

I couldn't stop thinking about the scene I had caused at dinner today ,I needed to apologize so I headed to the alpha's room .I felt quite uncomfortable because of the nightie I was putting on.I didn't come with any close so the head maid brought few clothes I can use in sleeping at night.

That was nice but all the clothes were 2 sizes small so the my were technically shorter,tighter and revealing but I didn't have any choice .

I knocked and informed the Alpha on my appearance and I was asked to come in,I was quite scared as well as to how the Alpha would react to this visit.

I opened the door and entered with my head faced down.Entering the Alpha room at this time of the night made my wolf jump for joy as wild thoughts ran through my mind.

"Alpha Jackson I'm here to apologize for what I did at dinner,I'm sorry and I promise I'm willing to do anything to pay.pls trust..."

I tried informing the Alpha on my reasons for coming to his room when my lips dropped and mouth watered .This sight made my nipples tighten up as a four letter word fell from my lips .

"Damn"
