Rays of the sun passed through the window, awaking Venus from her sleep, she rubbed her eyes and groaned when a sharp pain sliced through her head.

She opened her eyes and was met with unfamiliar surroundings.

This was not her room.

The potent smell that evaded her room told her exactly who's it was, the scent of woods and mint cocooned her.

She was in Dantes's room.

She sat up and stretched, swung her legs out the bed, only to feel cool air kiss her bare legs. She was in a black tee-shirt, also Dantes.

Her cheeks turned crimson, did he change her clothes? she thought.

The door to the bathroom swung open to reveal her mate in all his glory, the only thing that stopped him from being titled as 'naked' was the loose towel that was tied dangerously low on his hips, revealing the V and she dared not look down.

As droplets of water cascaded down his sculpted body, his tattoos, she realized covered both his arms and entwined at his chest, just above his pecks, grazing them slightly.

His abdomen that was oozing with muscle made Venus gulp. It wasn't the type of muscle that would make you cringe from its excessive amount, it was the type that would make you do a double-take.

Chiseled was every part of his body, thick muscled thighs, and toned calves.

Goodness,

Venus tried to control her body's reaction, wishing that the scent of her evident lust would conceal itself.

Dante closed his eyes and took a deep whiff, due to his sharp alpha senses, he didn't miss the new scent that had evaded the room.

His eyes opened, Venus's eyes clashed with his dark pools of pitch black, his lycan.

He licked his lips and stared at her.

She looked downright ravishing in his tee that reached just above her knees, bare legs on display, and since the shirt was bunched up she flashed him with her upper thighs,

thick stunning thighs and Dante longed to have them thrown over his shoulders so he could take her in positions where she'd be seeing the stars.

He growled lowly at the direction his thought had taken, and Venus shot out of the bed, inching towards the door, hoping to run to the safety of her room.

But the dark alpha had other plans.

Just when she was about to open the door, a large hand shot out, twisted around her waist, turning her and pulling her up against the wall of his hard chest, her back pressed against the door, his other hand was inches above her head on the door behind her.

Her breathing was as ragged as his.

Venus couldn't tell if she was frightened or turned on.

"Dante wha-" she was cut off when his head ducked into her neck and nuzzled her, close to the place where she was to be marked.

"You smell like heaven," Dante growled, taking a deep whiff.

Venus felt tingles run down her spine, the tempting ones.

"Dante let me go," she demanded trying to keep her voice firm as she pushed against the hard wall of his chest, she realized it was a mistake when her hands touched his hard tanned chest.

This time there was no mistaking the evidence of his arousal that was pressing between her thighs, dangerously close to her core.

He shoved her hands into his wet hair, and started peppering kisses along her neck and jaw, Venus moaned lightly, which turned more wanton when he started sucking and nibbling on her skin, biting slightly and then running his tongue over it to ease the slight sting.

Now venus was clutching his wet dark locks tightly while streaks of pleasure were shooting through her body, her moans getting louder with every nip.

Dante basked in the sounds his mate emitted, growling low in his throat, appreciating it.

He then moved his lips up, kissing her temple, her ear, her cheek, and the side of her mouth.

Venus was lost in his arms, his ardor made her tremble and she couldn't find it in herself to stop her mate from his intoxicating doings.

His hands slid down her waist, then teasingly he ran one thick finger over her derrière, she moaned frustratingly, and he chuckled deep in his throat, his chest rumbling, as he continued his assault on her ear, running his tongue over the crease of her ear, biting down gently on her lobe.

he then cupped his big hands around her thick derrière, loving the feel of them, they were made for him.

Squeezing them as Venus held onto him tighter and then gave each cheek a hard slap, Venus moaned from both pleasure and pain. She was never into the kinky smacking stuff, Dante was surely taking her out of her comfort zone and making her like it.

His lips then moved across her heated cheeks, hovering over her lips, he leaned down, his hooded eyes filled with lust, while Venus watched, fascinated by his show of carnal desire for her.

His eyes then moved up to her eyes, and as if something inside him suddenly snapped he let go of her as if she had caught fire.

He ran his hands through his hair in frustration and looked at her neck that was covered in love bites, her ample chest heaving up and down, her face flushed and her body warm, she looked thoroughly ravished.

"Fuck, that shouldn't have happe-" and before Dante could finish his sentence, a hand collided with his cheek.

The sound of a loud slap reverberated across the big room.

Dante looked up in shock to see wide doe eyes looking at him with fury.

"How-how dare you," Venus choked out. Her chest was on fire.

He was all over her a while ago and now he was openly rejecting her.

His eyes darkened with rage, he didn't tolerate disrespect.

"Touch me again like that Venus and I swear on the moon goddess I will t-" Dantes threat was cut off when Venus pushed against his chest, surprised he moved back slightly.

"no- NO," venus shouted.

"I will not take any more of this bullshit, I've had enough, you've insulted me in more ways than one, you suddenly can't have an attack of consciousness and realize that everything you did was a mistake, I can't take this anymore,

IT HURTS, DAMN YOU IT HURTS SO FUCKING MUCH, GODDESS I WISH I WASN'T CURSED WITH A MATE LIKE YOU, CHOOSING ANOTHER AS YOUR MATE WHILE I WAS RIGHT THERE." Venus shouted, as tears streamed down her face, hurt and pain etched on every fiber of her being.

But she wasn't finished.

"Goddess," Venus chuckled bitterly, looking up and shaking her head.

"What have I done ... what did I do to get you as a mate?" She asked, her eyes full of unshed tears.

Heavy, thick silence filled the room.

"I hate you," she said, in a soft painful whisper.

Dante visibly flinched, shock and hurt flashing through his features upon her words.

A feeling had him rooted, it made his heart wrench, guilt.

As she shook her head at his lack of response, glared at him and ran out of the room.

She ran into the shower, tearing at his shirt, tears running down her face as sobs wracked her body, as she turned on the shower, running the soap over her body roughly, wanting to rid herself of his scent.

Her eyes clenched shut, she wrapped her hands around herself, and slid against the glass door, onto the tiled cold floor, the water mixing with her salty tears.

He didn't even introduce her to the pack as a member, let alone as his mate.

She felt so unworthy and useless.

Two more days, she'd wait, and then if she found the opportunity, she would run, run from this cursed pack, away from him.

Venus sat in her bed, reading a book, to divert her mind from the incidents that had happened, it was 2 in the afternoon now.

She was in her sweatpants and an oversized hoodie.

A knock made her look up to see Mary came in, a tray in her hands.

Venus smiled weakly at the elderly woman.

"Alpha said you didn't have breakfast, you should eat, it's noon now, and these are tablets for your headache," Mary explained, smiling at the young girl.

Venus felt rage consume her body, how dare he.

"I'm not hungry Mary thank you, you can take this away," Venus said, trying to keep her tone polite, that damn alpha.

"Oh no you must eat," Mary insisted.

Venus sighed, not wanting to offend the sweet woman.

"Mary may I ask who changed me last night," venus mumbled, picking up the orange juice from the tray and taking a sip of it.

"Oh yes last night the alpha came home late, carrying you and you were well, asleep. He took you to his room then called me to change your clothes," Mary said, trying to keep the giddy smile out of her voice.

"Wait-wait, WHAT?" venus asked

Disbelief on her face.

"Well yes, afterward he then checked up on you again, and then he slept in the guest room," Mary said with a tinge of sadness in her voice, softly smiling at venus.

she hoped these two young souls would find a way to help each other find happiness and content, Mary saw the way Venus was, that of a lost child.

Venus, however, looked horrified.

Patting her head, Mary then walked out, but not before voicing her thoughts,

"Forgive her for intruding, but ... I know that you and the alpha are mates," Mary said, chuckling at the surprised look on Venus's face because no one knew.

"Don't look so surprised, I can recognize mates from anywhere,

the point is, I know the alpha may be ... hard to understand, but if you see closely, he's in need of love and affection just like you are,

despite the cold facade he has on and no matter how much you try fighting him, I can clearly see you two want each other, I haven't missed the look of longing that flashes through his eyes he gives when you're not looking,

I've known him for many decades and that man is as stubborn as a mule, to move on whether it is with or without each other you both need to sit down and discuss what next, this way neither of you will get hurt,

my advice would be at least try working it out properly, so you don't have regrets later on, you'll grow to love him, but if after trying it doesn't work, you'll be happy knowing you gave it your best shot, it won't hurt as much either," Mary advised, smiling at Venus whos thoughts were all over the place.

Later that evening, Venus carried her heavy limbs down the stairs.

She walked into the library, got a few books, and a snack from the kitchen, then made her way upstairs.

A voice had her stop short.

"Baby please, I need you," a high-pitched annoying voice whined.

Confused Venus followed the voice to see Ariana in the living room,

Her hands around Dante, peppering kisses on his jaw, then making way to his lips.
