CHAPTER FOUR

Pov: Bo Queensley

The room looked bigger than any room I had been in my entire life. It was also well decorated but the cherry on the apple was when the aged woman had told me it was mine. This was the first thing I'd ever gotten in my life that I didn't have to steal.

I fell on the bed and let the pleasure of the soft sheets take me completely. It was like I had somehow died in the hall when Alpha Kendrick's aura hit me which meant I was in heaven. My own paradise!

"Bo, right?" The voice of the old lady asked from the doorway. She opened the door and walked in without knocking. She made her way to the bed where I laid in a crumpled heap and dropped a dress on my head.

"Huh?"

I would have kicked her ass if she was younger but she was old enough to be my mother. Still, I was tempted for a split second to consider giving her a piece of me but in my current condition, she would kill me without blinking. She was almost as strong as the Alpha. Almost.

"Get dressed in that within the hour. The Alpha's calling."

She left the room. I jerked on the bed realizing for the first time what she meant by 'the Alpha's calling'. He was going to summon the three of us on the first night to do our newly appointed duties. That was just…!

I screamed as loud as my lungs would let me. The walls were thick enough to keep my screams from leaving the room. 

I had come with the intention of getting the compensation cash and walking the hell away from the pack house. I should have stayed down when the Alpha increased his aura and turned to lave but his actions had triggered a fighting spirit within me that made staying down impossible. I just had to show him I wasn't useless and because of that I was now his sex slave.

Oh no! 

As much as I tried to relax, my panic was just too much to ignore. It had a life of its own and was already growing a friggin' soul. I had to get the fuck away from the pack house. As far away as fucking possible!

Alpha Kendrick was known for being a ruthless bastard. He showed no mercy and had zero compassion for anyone that dared defy him. Running off as his sex slave was an act of defiance. It was one he wouldn't take light so I knew I had no choice than to go along with it. I would have no problem with the whole arrangement if it wasn't for the fact that I had no sexual experience or knowledge. I had accidentally come across porn once and it had been awkward for me.

My whole body ached and my head felt like it had been emptied into a blender that had been left on for a couple of hours. I struggled to get off the bed and made my way to the bathroom and showered in the sun dress I had worn that morning for the interview. The water made me feel relatively better than I had since getting picked as part of the final ten.

"Bo!" The old lady called out hitting my door with every bone she had in her wrinkly fist. For a old lady she had enough force behind her knocks to make the whole room shake.

"Gimme a minute dammit!" I yelled from the bathroom.

I was grateful for the cover the sound of the water from the shower gave me. It gave me the confident knowing she couldn't hear what I had said.

A minute later, I left the shower with my soaked sun dress glued to my body. It dripped water everywhere. I took it off and shivered almost immediately.

The old crow knocked again and I cursed under my breath. I knew she was going to hear me from here if I dared speak out loud.

I wore the black dress. It was beautiful but very short. It exposed more than it covered. 

She burst into the room that very minute with a furious look. I was about to oppose leaving the room in the clothes she had brought for me but she pulled my arm viciously.

"Let's go."

Her grip was too tight that made it hard to struggle. It was as if a python had infused its skin with steel and wrapped itself around my arm.

She pulled me down a corridor and we walked past guards which made me know we were approaching Alpha Kendrick's chambers. I wished the ground would do me a favor and swallow me whole. It might mean my death but it was an escape nonetheless.

We stopped in front of the door and she knocked.

The door opened and despite my fear and the trembling in my bones, I walked into the room.

A sharp pain hit my chest making me hold on to the door frame for support. Alpha Kendrick sat on the bed naked to his waist. He had a look on his face that bore into me and a weirdly familiar scent clouded my mind taking over my system. My inner wolf whispered within me confirming the suspicion I couldn't bring myself to accept. The pain I was feeling in my chest was a harbinger that was trying to tell me that I was in the presence of my mate…

Alpha Kendrick was my mate!
