The Alpha's Slave Mate novel Chapter 14

Chapter Fourteen

Daphne's Point of View

I was in the middle of wiping down my bathroom sink when my door burst open. My heart instantly sank as! noticed it was Beta Noah, and the man I had seen downstairs at my door. Keeping my eyes to the floor so that I would not offend anyone, I walked out of the bathroom and waited for order. ' “You are to come down to the Alpha’s study immediately. I will escort you there.” Beta Noah barked out. I started shivering, thinking that I must have done something to offend the visiting Alpha since his Beta was here with Noah as well. Walking out of my room I tried to replay every movement I have made since the Alpha arrived. Other than watching him greet the Mission pack I do not ever recall even seeing him. My palms are sweating, and my stomach is in knots trying to figure out how I could have offended the Alpha. : As we make it to the first floor it dawns have been the wolf I ran into on my run. I feel like I am going to faint. Did I offend him by running away? By now Iam shaking although I am trying to hold it together. I wrap my arms around my stomach hugging myself in a small gesture to try to calm my nerves.

Passing the living room heading into the hallway where my father’s study is, I wonder if today will be the day that he finally kills me. Although my life does not mean much to anyone else, I do not seek death. I do not know how he will react when he finds out I have been shifting and going on runs. Although I Was never explicitly told that I could not, I still do not think that he would approve. Approaching the door to the Alpha’s study I catch a whiff of that delicious scent that has been teasing my nostrils lately. Against my own will I inhale deeply. It has a calming effect on my body, although I am still shaking noticeably.

Noah is the first to walk in, the visiting Beta motions for me to walk through the door. I take a deep breath and walk in, careful to keep my eyes down. As soon as I am through the door, I heara deep growl, and without even meaning to tears are running down my cheeks.I am sure that my life will end here today. I am trying so hard to stop the tears falling from my eyes that I block out everything that is happening around me.

As I am inhaling deeply to try to stop the tears that mysterious scent hits me again and involuntarily my head jerks up. My wolf is awakened by the smell as well, and she comes roaring through my head with the word mine. My eyes meet the most wonderful hazel eyes, they are like pools of the purest honey pulling me in. I notice that there are specks of gold in his eyes, and I can not recall seeing anything more beautiful in my life. »

It takes me a moment to realize that he is staring back at me as well. All of a sudden, Iam conscious of the way I look and immediately avert my eyes back to the dark blue carpeting that is in my father’s office. Inside my head I am berating myself for ever looking up. I know better, I know my role. If my father was not going to kill me before he surely will now.

“Please do not look away from me.” His tone is deep, demanding but pleading at the same time. My wolf is practically jumping for joy at hearing his voice. His words wrap over me like a warm blanket on a cold night, and he does not make me feel afraid, just nervous. Why does he want me to look at him? :

I slow look up and my breath hitches. I knew he was handsome from what I could see from my window, but up close he is like a god. It is easy to see his muscles rippling under his shirt, and even though he is sitting I can tell that he is tall. His skin is indeed tan, as if the sun came down and kissed his skin. It is a great combination with his eyes. His nose is narrow, but it fits his face perfectly. His lips are full and the color of a dusty rose. His jaw line is more square like in shape than rounded. He is absolute perfection, and my wolf is purring in appreciation.
