Chapter 1. Becky.
Becky's POV.
"What are you looking at?" I asked, looking up from the book I was reading and to a pair of silver-gray eyes staring sharply at me.
" Why are you so stubborn? You weren't like this when we first met."
" I was a 17-year-old wolfless teenager when we first met, and mind you, you brutally rejected a teenager who believed in love, completely shattering any hopes of her believing in love ever again. And guess what... Now I'm a 21-year-old lady who spent the last 4 years of her life avoiding any form of love and still isn't about to transform! I said sarcastically while glaring at him, not caring if he was the Alpha King.
" I apologize for that, but you were too young for me to claim you as mine," Hunter said, his voice a hint of emotion.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me. No one has ever made me this angry before." I said, turning my eyes back to the book in my hand. "If you don't mind, I really don't care, could you leave? I need to work."
The room fell silent for a while, neither of us saying any word or moving.
I could still feel Haunter, the Alpha king's gaze on me, but I wasn't going to give him what he wanted that easily. And to hell with the stupid mate bond, I'll resist that thing for as long as I can.
"You have three days to pack your things and come live with me." The Alpha King said, not breaking his gaze from me, his voice was filled with authority and command.
I snapped my eyes to look up at him. Not this again. "Excuse me?" I asked, my brows knotted together.
He didn't respond and kept staring at me, his gaze sharp and intense. I could feel my heart starting to speed up against my will.
Curse this mate bond.
Jiggle...jiggle...
Knock...knock...knock
The silence between us was disrupted by a sudden Jiggle and knock on the door. I had forgotten we were in my office at work. I just got back from the human world a few days ago.
Jimmy's voice was heard from the other side of the door. " What the...girl, why's your door locked?"
Haunter and I both turned to look at the door at the same time, a frown appeared on his face.
"Your attention is needed in the meeting room, and it's urgent; Mr. Zach is yelling at everyone for a mistake Mira made except her. Why do we have to get punished for a mistake she did and she's not even getting punished for it because she's the Alpha king's adopted sister? Seriously, I wanna quit and start my own company; I'm tired of the way he treats us." Jimmy whined, his voice sounding like he was about to cry while leaning on the door.
I turned to look at Haunter who was now staring at me, his face unreadable.
