Rowan’s POV

Mika cursed behind me once Harriette’s opponent slashed her arm. Unconsciously, I grabbed the edge of the chair and tightened my palm around it.
She needed to fight back. There was no need for her to hide her fighting skills anymore. The way she effortlessly dodged and shielded herself from those punches, with precision in every movement, made it obvious that she could fight.
“What the fuck?” I didn’t know when that slipped out of my mouth as I watched her open wound close up within two seconds.
Thanks to my Alpha’s vision, I saw Harrieete move towards the girl within a second and if I had blinked, I would’ve missed how she attacked the girl the first time.
What followed was the craziest thing I’d ever seen in my life. She turned from a tiny, innocent girl to a full–blown monster. Everyone who tried to stop her couldn’t. Her target was her opponent, every other person was a distraction she needed to get rid of
An Alphal
That was what came to my head.
I stood up from my seat and held her by the hand. Before she could attack me, I gently put her down and held her there.
“Mark her!” Thorne yelled in my head.
“She’s submissive now. Don’t miss the opportunity, mark her, he demanded again but I ignored him.
When I felt I was losing control of myself to Thorne, I forced him to the back of my
“Coward” He hissed before he disappeared.
Till Harriette ran out of the room, I didn’t lose control of myself
mind.
After she ran out in tears, I wanted to stay back and ignore her like I’d planned but I couldn’t. She shouldn’t blame herself for what happened.
1 followed her, 1 saw when she tripped and fell to the ground. She’d stood up, checked her knees, and cried louder than before.
I couldn’t stop the stupid smile that graced my lips. It wasn’t supposed to be funny. Heck, it wasn’t funny but it sure was
cute.
The
way she cried louder because her knees were bruised even though she knew it would take a second for it to heal mesmerized me.
What was it about her that got to my head? If it were someone else, they would be interrogated by now for lying about their Alpha status but I can’t seem to bring myself to hurt her or make her uncomfortable.
that made my heart race. I The moment Harriette walked out of the bathroom, the world around me ceased to exist. Her hair was damped and she had a towel wrapped around her frail frame. She stared at me with those big, round innocent eyes stared at her lost for words and completely oblivious of whatever dilemma the world was in.

My eyes followed every movement of hers. From the way her toe curled, and her fist tightened against the hem of the towel to how she looked at me for a second and then looked away.
“Alpha Rowan.”
She called. I took a deep breath.
The sound of my name on her lips had never sounded so perfect, so unique.
“Is anything the matter?” She asked.
[was]
That was when I regained my senses. Why the fuck was I here again!
What was I doing here?
“Nothing.” I growled, not believing my own voice.
I turned on my heels and walked out of the room.
“Alpha Rowan.”
I turned around to see her running after me. She was
in that fucking towel, half naked.
“What do you think you’re doing?” I yelled at her. My eyes went wide as I took in her form again.
“I wanted to ask you about something”
She said.
“Can’t it wait till tomorrow?” I asked.
Angrily, I peeled the jacket I was wearing off my body and gave it to her.
“Wear that,”
She collected it from me and placed it on her shoulder.
“I wanted to ask if you knew anyone called Reina,” she asked, her eyes shining with curiousity.
I cocked an eyebrow as I stared at her. The name sounded familar but I didn’t know where I heard it from
“Why”
I asked.
Was she trying to find out information about my pack members?
“Nothing,” she shook her head gently.
All of a sudden, when I’d expected her to leave, she began moving closer to me. Her eyes searched mine as she took calculated steps towards me.
Why am I so affected by this girl? What was so special about our matebond that was making me bend to her fucking will?
She wasn’t even trying!
“Stop!” I cautioned. “STOP!” I yelled when I saw she wasn’t yielding
She stopped just a foot away from me. Since I was taller, she lifted her head to stare at me again
Chapter 142
“Don’t you fucking come near me again, understood? Or you’ll regret ever stepping into this pack.”
I gritted my teeth in annoyance.
The Luna goddess can go fuck herself for the matebond. I wouldn’t lose control because she seemed it fit to set me up with a witch.
Once I returned to the Alpha’s building that I shared with Mika and a few other important pack members, I walked towards
my room.
Someone was waiting outside my door. It was Mika.
“What do you want?” I growled at her. She frowned.
“What’s wrong?”
“I have a lot on my mind,” I answered, not ready to deal with Mika tonight.
“Do you want me to get one of those girls?” She asked with a wink
“If I see any of them in my room tonight, Mika. I’ll commit a murder tonight and commit another in the morning. The crazy thing is, you’ll be the dead body by morning.”
She suddenly became silent. I used to enjoy the attention and challenge I gave to those girls but these days, I’m filled with disgust anytime I try to think of it
Tonight, the plan was to find a way to calm myself and not think too much about Harriette.
I unlocked my door and walked in. I didn’t know Mika followed me.
“She’s your mate isn’t she?” Mika suddenly asked.
I hissed. I had no idea what she was talking about.
“What the fuck do you mean?” I asked her.
“Harriette. She’s your mate, isn’t she!” I paused.
Fuck! I thought I’d been extra careful. I didn’t want anyone in the pack to know about my secret but now, Mika, the clairvoyant had her suspicion. One thing about her was that once she’d latched on to something, she’d never let it go.
“No!”
1 lied, staring at her straight in the eyes.
