HER MATE

Elena's POV

" This is your room and we hope you like it?" Tade asked as an effervescent bright smile lightened up her face. Tade would never stop smiling. If there was anything like a smiling machine then it could be Tade.

" I love it, it's so beautiful!" I replied to her also with a smile. Does Tade love me? Or she was after something. Her cares seemed planned.

I sat down on the bed and hovered around the bedsheet with my hands to feel the pleasurable texture of the bed. The bed was soft, smooth, and bouncing.

The other maid had gone to the kitchen to prepare me tea for refreshment so I taught of asking Tade some questions about the pack doctor before she returns. Tade seemed more welcoming than the other lady.

" Hi, Tade. What's wrong with the pack doctor she seems not happy when I saw her some minutes ago" I asked barely whispering to her ears.

Tade breathed heavily as if she was given the last chance to release her breath.

" Elena, that's one of the tragedies of this pack. Some of our wolves are suffering from unknown diseases and it has hit hard on us since Alpha Herrick has refused to register under the foreign packs" Tade pointed and leaned over the wall.

" A tragedy in this pack?" I asked wittily to know more about her statement.

" Yes, Serah, the pack doctor, was not in a good mood because her only son is currently suffering from an unknown disease that has affected his brain, I am sorry he will not escape from death in no distant time" Tade added as sadness welled up inside of her. That was the first time I saw Tade being unhappy. It seemed this issue was truly a tragedy as she had said.

" But Serah is a doctor how come she could not heal her only son?" I asked frantically.

" It's not about skill but gift. Only a gifted doctor could cure such an illness. It has gone beyond what the foreign packs can cure" Tade added.

Tade's words touched me. I had promised myself not to reveal my gift but her pitiful face got me concerned and interested. Moreover, my Father's words came to my mind again. I might be a hero to save the race of humanity. I must not allow hatred for a single person to quench my love for others. If I am to heal the doctor's only son then I am doing it for her as a person and not the pack.

The other maid walked inside the room with a glass cup of tea in her hand. She moved to me and stretched forth her hand. I took the cup of tea and appreciated her for it before I took three sips from it.

" It tastes good, thanks" I applauded her.

I was motioned to a bathroom where I freshening up. My eyes met a beautiful strapless mini black dress on my bed as I exit the bathroom to my room. I froze in place and examined the dress from a distance before Tade spoke behind.

" That's your dress, Elena. The Alpha king asked you to put it on" Tade spoke.

I moved nearer to the mini black dress and picked it up with my thumb and first finger. It looks so revealing. Why would Alpha Herrick ask me to put on such a revealing dress? I wanted to disobey him but I always remind myself that I had been sold to him and he could do whatever he wanted with me.

Tade wore me the mini dress and applied some redolent sprays onto my body. My long curly jet-black hair was let down for the first time in a long while instead of my usual ponytail hairstyle. I checked my reflection in the mirror and love what I saw. It was awesome just that I was not convenient with such a revealing dress.

The other maid walked in and asked, "Are you prepared? Alpha Herrick wants you now in his upper room"

Fear crept into me as her words dampened my mood. My nervousness was heightened by the unusually revealing dress and what may likely happen in his room. Though I knew I would be screwed but at least he should let me have a rest tonight.

" You will be fine, Elena" Tade sneaked as I walked slowly past her towards Alpha Herrick's chamber. She could see the fear and horror that encompassed me.

I nodded and moved to his room. I pressed the red button on his door and it opened.

" Yes, is that Elena?" Alpha Herrick asked as he was busy doing something on his phone. He turned around and giggled as I walked to him like a model.

" Yes, you now look like my mistress, come on give me a hug," Alpha Herrick said and hugged me so tightly. I shivered and my hair stood up on my body as I perceived a tantalizing aroma of vanilla candy in his body as he hugged me. My eyes twinkled like a North Star in a cloudless night as the pleasure drown me in seduction.

My mate? I have never felt a connection like this in my whole life, not even with my ex-boyfriend. How could the moon goddess gift me someone like Alpha Herrick as my mate? Alpha Herrick was cold and domineering, most ladies hated him for who he was. He didn't even love me. He called me his new mistress and even said he would let me go once I gift him a male child. It does not call for a celebration.

I had always craved bitterly to know my mate. This day should be the happiest day of my life. I just perceived my mate just like other she-wolves but I was sad because of his nature. I was shocked and barely to the point of imploding as the situation right before I loom over my head.

I repelled from his body and looked straight into his eyes. He seemed not to smell anything unlike me. He was not aware of the bond between us. He was busy interviewing my ripe pointed boobs through my revealing dress.

Or was he cursed? Only a cursed wolf would find it difficult to smell his mate. Maybe he has been cursed or he is a late bloomer. Let me give him a chance to notice the mate bond maybe he would forfeit whatsoever treasonous steps he had in mind. At last, my stepfather would regret why he sold me out to him. Beta Hemingway never knew he had pushed me to the limelight if Alpha Herrick eventually notice the mate bond between us.

He maneuvered his hands into my body and caress me seductively before he laid my back on his soft bed. If I never wanted to give him my body before I will now that I derive pleasure in him.
