The Alpha’s Substitute Mate

Isabella

I stared at him in shock

“Go where?”

” To consummate our marriage, little mate.” He snarled coldly.

” What? No! It’s not necessary since this marriage is based on alliance.” I said and twisted my wrist out of his grip.

He threw back his head and laughed. It was such a cold, emotionless laughter that made my blood freeze in my veins.

” Ohh little mate, I’m afraid it’s necessary. Didn’t your Dad allow you to read the contract? It was written and signed that you, Isabella will have to perform your duties as a wife, especially making sure my bed is not cold.” His bright emerald green eyes were dark with rage and hate. And I felt my heart prickle with fear.

And he gripped me again and started dragging me back toward the pack house. I resisted and our struggles were drawing more than a few curious and concerned stares.

” You will not embarrass me in front of my pack, you ugly mate,” he whispered so only I could hear him, and then he swept me up in his arms in a bridal style. Which made some people in the hallway start cheering and throwing rose petals at us. To them, it seemed romantic and sweet but they couldn’t see that he was pinching me under the dress as he walked away from the crowd and entered the elevator.

We arrived at the topmost floor, the floor that was only exclusively for the Alpha. I wasn’t really concentrating on what was around me, I was busy having this terrible battle within me.

My conscious human self was revolting against his hold on me

Get away, Bella!

Fight back!

Run!

Don’t let this happen!

You can’t possibly lose your virginity to him!

But my wolf self was just happy to be close to her mate. No! Happy was just an understatement. She was ecstatic

This is right, Bella. It’s so natural.

Don’t fight it

This is our half.

It’s faith.

It’s destiny.

And he wants us.” caught between the two fighting for dominance, I was confused

He continued to carry me as if I did disappear if he let go of me, he arrived at a door at the end of the hallway and kicked it open.

The room was a beautiful sight to behold, the colors were sharp tones of black, gray, and silver along with a bit of gold here and there.

It looked like something made out of Disney because the furniture, the bed everything looked exquisite.

The ceiling was high above and a huge chandelier hung down from it. The ceiling was so high and it was paneled with tinted glass so it sent soft reflections of light down. It was made in a way that it would not make the chandelier glitter too much.

Still lost in my thought, admiring his room before he dropped me roughly and I stumbled but caught myself on the edge of the dress stand.

He sat down on the couch and stared at me for a few minutes with no expression on his face. His eyes were filled with hatred- Deep Hatred.

” So you didn’t want to perform your conjugal duty to me right?” Arden said in his icy tone. His voice was filled with so much authority and I felt scared but then I tried hard to conceal my fears.

” I hate silence. When I speak, you answer me immediately,” he said angrily and I bit my inner lip trying to hold the tears that were threatening to spill.

” You didn’t want to consummate this marriage right?” he asked again and this time I responded

” Yes… I think it is not necessary.” I paused and joined my lips together and stared at him like a meek lamb.

He stood up from the couch, and I moved out of the dress stand and started moving backward. With every one step, I took. He takes two steps.

Suddenly my back made contact with the wall and I figured out it was the end of the road for me.

I didn’t know when the tears started spilling as he got close to me, I felt so scared that I could feel my heart vibrating with force.

Arden sneered as he got close to me and placed his hand on my breast and squeezed my nipple so hard that I screamed as pain resonated through me.

He smiled, a smile of hatred and victory as if seeing me in pain gave him some sort of happiness.

” This is the beginning little mate, I told you that you would pay for your father’s treachery, and also when I’m done with you, you would personally beg for death,” he smirked and removed his hands from my nipples and moved slightly away from me.

” And now, I want to see you, naked little mate,”

I kept blinking my eyes nonstop, trying to understand what he meant

“Strip,” he said, his voice filled with so much authority but I kept on staring at him. His eyes were filled with hatred, no it was more than hatred. It was loathing.

” I asked you to strip! Didn’t I? Arden asked as he held my hands tightly and was squeezing them

“Arden…you’re hurting me,” I cried out as I couldn’t bear the pain anymore.

” It’s Alpha to you, don’t ever address me by my name.” And he raised his hand and slapped me, hard.

His strong hand slammed into my face and if not for my wolf, I am sure I would have dislocated my jaw

” Isabella, I hate repeating myself. I said STRIP,”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

This time around he was filled with rage and his voice felt like a thunderstorm.

” Strip now!”

I nodded in tears and started removing my clothes and gently staring at him.

” This wasn’t how I planned on losing my virginity. No!!! Not in this cruel way, not to this heartless beast I called mate, but I guess this is the fate for me, I have to pay in this manner for the safety of my pack and I have no other option than to accept it,” I muttered as my clothes finally fell on the floor but I was still on my panties.

” Move to that dresser and give me your back,” he commanded without any form of emotion.
