The Mate He Hates

Alpha Edward’s POV

Jealousy was the first thing I felt when I walked on them in each other’s arms. As if caught in the act, Amanda pulled from Matthew’s arms and got up. Unable to hold my gaze, she buried her eyes on the floor while I gritted my teeth and glared at her.

“You are here? Do you need me to do anything for you?” Matthew asked, acting nonchalantly as if me walking in on them in each other’s arms was nothing.

Clenching my jaw, I looked his way and noticed he was even shirtless and had just a short on. The sight of that flared me up, but I had to control myself.

“Go to my chambers and be on your knees.” I directed those words to Amanda, who didn’t hesitate and dashed out of the room.

Returning my gaze to Matthew, I glared at him, but he had a blank and calm look.

“Is not what you think.” Matthew tried defending his actions, but that angered me even more. “What do you take me for? A fool, do I look dumb and blind to you, huh?” I spat with anger.

“Calm down…”

“Don’t tell me to fucking calm down!” I yelled. “What do you want to explain, huh? What lies do you want to tell? I walked in on both of you in an intimate hug, and here you are telling me it’s not what I think. Is that it? Am I that stupid!” I yelled out frustrated. The thought of the two of them being together was driving me insane. If they could hug this way, then heaven knows what they might have done that I am unaware of.

“This is why you haven’t slept in your apartment for the past week. She is the reason you are spending the night in the mansion instead of going back home, huh?” I accused and noticed the confused look on Matthew’s face.

“You decided to pass the nights here all in the pretence that your home is lonely so that you could sneak her into your room late at night, huh?” I accused, unexplainable anger and jealousy bubbling inside of me.

“Tell me, are you two now in love? Do you intend to set her free? Helping her escape and setting her free!” I yelled, but all Matthew did was remain mute as he stared at me.

“I need an answer; answer me, Matthew!” His silence was killing me.

With panting breath and a throbbing heart, I waited for him to say something, deny my accusation or say something to defend himself. I wanted him to tell me that what I was thinking were lies, but he didn’t; instead, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.

“Damn it!” I kicked away a first aid box before dashing out of the room.

Consumed with anger, I walked back into my chambers and met her on her knees just like I had ordered, the sight fueling my rage even further.

Jerking her up the arms, I made her stand before me while I watched her exclaim at the tightness of my grip on her.

“Tell me, you slut, what have you been doing with my beta,” I demanded with jealousy. “You two have been sleeping with each other. Tell me.” I spat, but just like Matthew, she was silent, and that raged me even more.

“Tell me, does he do it more than I? Does he satisfy you more than I do? Is he better than I…”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Yes!” She spat. “Beta Matthew is far better than you; you are a monster, and you will never be levelled with him!” She answered with no atom of fear in her. “He is loving, caring, understanding and makes me feel like a human, unlike you, who has given me nothing other than pain!” She spat those words on my face.

“Beta Matthew is way better than you, and every woman in her right senses will choose him over you!”

That was it; that was all it took to make me lose control. Pushing her onto the bed, I climbed on top of her and pinned both hands above her head.

“He fucks you more than I do, right? Let’s see about that.”

Letting go of her hands, I went for her dress and tore it off, revealing her underwear. In a swift motion, I tore off her underwear and flung them away, leaving her naked before me.

Grunting, I unbuckled my belt, zipped my pants and took out my dick. With forceful strokes, I began stroking my dick, and when I realized it was hardened, I widened her legs and thrust in.

She gasped at my forceful thrust, but that didn’t stop me; instead, I began slamming in and out of her.

Holding on to her boobs, I squeezed them and aggressively thrust inside her, while she released a sound of discomfort and attempted to close her eyes.

“Eyes open; I want to see your eyes on me,” I demanded, and she obeyed.

Our eyes interlocked as I slammed inside her even harder. She exclaimed in discomfort and sank her fingers into my shoulders, which I ignored and continued thrusting.

I held her neck and increased my pace, causing her to choke, but that didn’t make me let go; I continued choking her by the neck while my dick tortured her pussy. She held on to my hand, which was wrapped around her neck, but I didn’t let go; instead, I fucked her even more aggressively.

Glancing into her eyes, I realized her eyes were soaked with tears, and it seemed like she was about to pass out, and out of concern, I let go of her neck and pulled out of her. With panting breath, I moved away from her and left the bed, zipped up, and without looking her way, I left my room.

Running a hand through my hair, I walked through the hallway, took the stairs and met a maid.

“Go to my chambers and check on Amanda.” I was worried that she could harm herself.

To clear my head, I decided to go to the gym room. Entering the room, I removed my shirt and went for the boxing gloves. After putting them, I hit the punching bag harder and harder, feeling mad. Thoughts about what happened kept bothering me, making me even more furious. But I kept going, trying to push those feelings away with each punch and lift.

Amanda’s Words were in my head, and no matter how hard I tried to wipe them off, I just couldn’t; it felt like her words were stuck there. In times like this, I missed my wolf because he would have talked to me and suggested on what I should do.

I kept punching the bag until I got exhausted and stopped. Taking off the gloves, I put back on my shirt and left the gym. Arriving at the sitting room, I called for a guard. “I want you to keep a close eye on Amanda. If you see her anywhere with Beta Matthew or if she goes into his room, I want you to alert me immediately. Do you understand?” I instructed the guard, who nodded. “Good.”

I returned to my room, but she was no longer there, though her scent filled the entire place. Inhaling deeply, I sniffed her scent and closed my eyes briefly before opening them. “What is wrong with me?” I threw that question at myself. Why was I acting so jealous and possessive? Amanda is nothing but a slave, and even if Matthew wants to have his way with her, Why should I care so much about it? Is this jealousy or something else? My question was left hanging because I couldn’t answer it.

Entering the bathroom, I took a cold bath, dressed up, and decided to attend to some pack duties. At least that would help clear my head and make me think less of Amanda.

A few hours later…

“Goodnight,” I told my driver as I exited the car. Glancing at my wristwatch, I realized it was 10 PM, and I had only had breakfast as my meal for the day. Walking into the sitting room, I was furious to see Levi talking to a maid. I could have easily ignored it, but I realized the maid was acting uncomfortable.

When the maid noticed my presence, she bowed and spun off. I settled my gaze on Levi for a moment before I spoke. “This is a warning, Levi. If you want to stay here, then you must stay away from the maids. My staffs are important to me, and I will not let you trouble them,” I warned.

Levi scoffed. “I’m not doing anything wrong here. I was just having a conversation with the maid.”

“I saw everything, Levi. She was so uncomfortable. I need to ask you to respect the staff’s privacy and personal space. If you can’t do that, I’ll have to reconsider you saying here, I am allowing you to stay here because of your mother, don’t push me.” I warned before walking away. Arriving at my room, I removed my clothes, bathed, and wore a shot.

Feeling hungry, I asked the maid to get me some fruit. After I finished eating, I climbed onto the bed and tried to get some sleep, but my thoughts were filled with Amanda. The events that occurred during the early hours of today flooded my mind, and somehow, I was starting to regret my actions. I wanted to send for her to make sure she was okay, but I groaned and forced my eyes closed. After much struggle, I was able to fall asleep.

A soft knock at my door roused me from my light slumber. As an alpha, ingrained instincts kept me alert even in the depths of the night, sensitive to the slightest disturbance. “Who is it?” I called out, my brow furrowing in curiosity.

“It’s me, alpha.”

I recognized that as the voice of one of my guards. My eyes fell on the wall clock, and I realized it was 1 am. Stepping out of bed, I approached the door and swung it open, concern flickering in my eyes. “What’s wrong?” I inquired, bracing myself for troubling news.

“Apologies for the interruption, alpha, but it’s about Amanda. You tasked me with keeping an eye on her, and I’ve done just that,” he began, his tone measured yet tense.

“And?” I pressed, my pulse quickening with anxiety.

“She’s currently in the garden with Beta Matthew,” he revealed, and a knot formed in the pit of my stomach as I gripped the doorframe.
