Alpha s Hate Bond

Chapter 1

Lydia's POV

The large door opened. I walked in, staring fixedly at Alpha Damon who was going through a scroll in his hands. "Yes, you called me," I said as soon as I walked into the throne room.

"Yes, I did." Alpha Damon said with a nod, rolling the scroll, then he gave it to his guard who was standing just beside him. "Well, I called concerning the mating ceremony tonight, hope you're aware of it?" He asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty." I nodded my head.

"Good. So, therefore, you will be attending as part of the pack's leaders." He said to my surprise.

I furrowed my brows, I just don't understand why he would want me to attend the mating ceremony when I wasn't ready to be mated. "I... I don't understand why I have to show up, Your Majesty. I mean, it isn't necessary for me to. I'm not ready..."

He cuts me short. "The mating ceremony is not for those who are ready, Miss Martin, it's for everyone. So, I want you specifically in the mating ground tonight. Don't let me look for you, understand?" He warns.

I was annoyed at this, but I dared not to say a word to the Alpha or he'll have me punished severely for refusing his order. "Gather the she-wolves in the conference room, we're expecting a very important person tonight."

I raised an eyebrow at him, who could that be? I thought. "An important guest?" I asked. "Who is this guest you speak of?"

Alpha Damon smiled at how confused I was. "Don't worry, you'll find out when he arrives." He said, not wanting to tell me who exactly it was.

I exited the room, but her mind hadn't given up trying to figure out who this very important guest could be. I called all the she-wolves as most of them are likely to be taken during the mating period. I saw to it that everything was perfectly organized and there was no room for Alpha Damon to complain.

We all waited for other packs to arrive. While doing so, I left for her room, sitting frustratedly by the edge side of my bed. I was thinking, imagining how tonight would be. I hated the fact that Alpha Damon desperately wanted me to show up in the ceremony.

For so many reasons I hated the mating ceremony, and this year it was my pack's turn to host it. The worst part of it all is the fact that I am an executive in the pack. The executives never miss an event or important show. I wish I could convince Alpha Damon that I ain't ready yet and definitely can't show up for the ceremony.

But something tells me that was just impossible as Alpha Damon won't give me a listening ear.

The evening slowly approached, leaving me more frustrated than I already was. There came a knock on the door, it was my maid. "Come in." I permitted.

The door slowly opened, and the young lady walked in silence, her face buried in the ground. Out of every maiden in the house, mine was one of the best with a defined mannered character. She always has this respect for people higher than she is, and no one is better at looking at the ground if it isn't her.

"My lady, the Alpha sent me to check in on you. He wants to know how ready you are for the ceremony." She announced.

I sighed. Alpha Damon, not again.

"Well, I'm very much ready for the ceremony, you can help me tell him that. I'll just have to take my bath, and I'll be there in a few minutes."

"I'll let him know that."

"Thank you."

I rushed my bath, changing into the gown my maid had brought for me. I was finding it a bit difficult to knot the robes at the back when the door suddenly opened. I looked through the mirror to see who it was, hoping it would be my maid.

But Alpha Damon walked in instead. What the fuck is he doing here? I mentally asked myself amid surprise and confusion.

"I came to check on you. Even though your maid said you were dressing, I still felt I should check if she was telling the truth."
