Chapter 1


    He is my mate?


    Sarah pov


    I sat in the office of the highest ranked business of our pack, which was owned by our alpha, Michael. I


    needed a job to support my little family. My father was a warrior, who used to fight ferociously for this


    pack. However ever since his right leg had to be amputated after thest war he fought, he had


    be dependent on others.


    Ever since that fateful day, our family had be rather weak. The respect we had suddenly went


    down the drain, just because our father was no longer able to take part in the wars as a warrior. It was


    pathetic I would say. His service should have been acknowledged. But even the families of the fallen


    warriors got better treatmentpared to us. I had a hunch that it was because he was mated to my


    mother, a wolf from the lowest of ranks, in other words, a rank less one.


    It didn’t matter to him. He had always showered her with love and affection which my mother


    reciprocated. And after he became dependant on others, she had started to work even harder. I always


    admired what my parents had for each other. They were what I would want to have with my mate when


    I find him. We may not be rich and struggle to put food on the table, but still, our home was filled with


    love and I wouldn’t have it in any other way.


    My mother was an omega who worked as a maid in the pack house. And she had been supporting us


    for the past three years, which were the hardest three years of our lives. It was hard and we barely


    made it. There were days that we couldn’t fill our tummies but we were content with what we had. I am


    grateful that I had made it through high school and now I believed that it was my duty to give my


    support to them. There was no way that they could send me to a college for higher studies. And I had


    noints. I was d that at least I was able to graduate from high school.


    I straightened the ck pencil skirt I wore and brushed my wavy brown hair with my hands. Lots of


    young wolves including the high ranked ones had applied for this position that was openedst week.


    Perhaps I didn’t even stand a chance. The job paid well. Better than most jobs a rank less wolf like me


    could possibly get. Nervously biting on my lower lip, I looked at the file in my hand. Well, there was no


    harm in giving it a try. I told myself trying to be positive.


    I had seen several young wolves walk out from the office after the interview in disappointment. Was the


    alpha being very hard on them all? If he had rejected them, how in the world could I stand a chance?


    Furrowing my eyebrows, nervous and regretting that I had chosen toe here, I thought about the


    different things I had heard about him.


    I had heard lots of stories. He was cold and unemotional. Ruthless when ites to dealing with


    enemies. Not to mention arrogant and proud. He never associated with lower ranked wolves. He


    wouldn’t bother showing his face to us, the rank fewer ones. Maybe this was a bad idea. I thought, now


    feeling that my anxiety had reached its peak.


    Frowning, worried that I had made a mistake ofing in here in the first ce, I continued to chew in


    my lips. Why would he even consider me? I most probably should leave.


    Being a rank less wolf meant that I or anyone in my family would be invited to any pack function. Never


    had I even seen him in my eighteen years of life. I should have thought about it a hundred times before


    even applying for this job.


    “Sarah Jeffery.” The soft voice of the female receptionist made me look up, startled. When our gazes


    met, she smiled and gestured for me to follow her.


    Well, I guess it was toote for me to chicken out now. Sighing and keeping my fingers crossed, I stood


    up and once again brushed my skirt to straighten away any creases.


    Here goes. Taking a deep breath, I followed the young blond who lead me to the door of his office. As


    soon as she opened the door, I felt as if a cool breeze caressed my face and took away the worry and


    anxiety that I was feeling. A sudden feeling offort and contentment filled my frantic heart calming it


    down. I could feel my wolf’s excitement.

    What was happening? I kept wondering to myself. This certainly was not normal.


    “Come in.” The kind voice of the young blond once again brought me back to my senses.


    Offering a forced smile, I followed her in. I saw that the alpha was facing away from us. Slowly, a faint


    scent of sandalwood invaded my nostrils.


    “You may leave Cheryl.”


    His deep, husky voice made my skin crawl with goosebumps. Okay, this most certainly was not normal.


    “Yes alpha.” She obediently left the office, leaving me alone in the office with the arrogant alpha.


    “Sit down.”


    He ordered, to which I quietly obeyed and kept my eyes lowered, focusing on my cold numb hands. He


    rotated in his office chair, but I was too nervous to look up and gaze at his face.


    “Hmm... Sarah Jeffrey. Look up!” he ordered.


    With my heart hysterically pounding in my chest, I slowly looked up. My light brown eyes met with his


    sea green ones and I felt as though the world had stopped revolving. I heard a low growl that originated


    from his chest followed by a deep gruff voice.


    “Mate!” He growled making me shudder and freeze.


    He was right. It was only after he growled I realised that my wolf was repeating a chant of her own in


    my head.


    Mate. Mate. Mate.


    This arrogant and self centred alpha was my mate? No. Fucking. Way.


    I sat wide eyed and speechless, frozen on the seat. How could I be paired with the highest ranked wolf


    of this pack? This must be a mistake. No! All I wanted was a caring and loving mate. I couldn’t care


    less that wolf wasn’t ranked.


    Unlike most she wolves. They would have loved to be paired with the big bad alpha. After all, then, they


    would be Luna and be the boss of all she wolves. But not me. I never wanted this.


    I felt my heart sink ah his alluring sea green orbs studied my face. I could feel his gaze linger on my


    cleavage where I had let two of the buttons of my shirt be undone. Gulping nervously I looked down at


    my fingers which were now white with the force I was clenching it.


    What if he tries to im me here? I most certainly didn’t have the power to resist a mighty alpha. But I


    didn’t want it to be like this. With him as my mate, I couldn’t say what was possible and what was not.


    The alpha’s flirtatious encounters was a famous thing among all she wolves. It was well known what a


    yboy he was.


    He would bed any she wolf he took interest in. And almost everyone fell for his charm. He was the


    alpha anyway. But not me. I don’t want a yboy as a mate. I wanted a simple and loving one. Oh,


    how could fate be so cruel to me?


    I felt him stand up and walk around his table. Oh no. What was he going to do? Reluctantly, I looked in


    his direction. His orbs were still burning into me, making me want to disappear. He stopped right beside


    where I was seated, making the chant in my head intensified.


    Mate. Mate. Mate.


    I felt as though I was being pulled into a daze.


    “So you’re my mate.” He murmured. Wait. Was that disappointment I hear in his tone?


    Great. Even he is unhappy with this. I should have just stayed at home and never faced our alpha.


    Then I would never have found out that he was my mate. He snatched the file I was holding and quickly


    flipped through its contents.


    “Impressive. You have an excellent school record. And behaviour too.” He said. Then he dropped the


    file on the desk making a dull thud to echo. He twirled me around and turned the chair towards him. He


    bent over me, cing either of his hands on the handles.


    My breathing hitched. Our faces were just inches away. Nervously gulping, I looked straight into his


    eyes.


    “You smell good little mate. Too bad you are a rank less wolf.” He tilted his head and looked up and


    down my body.


    “I’ll be frank. I want someone to be my personal assistant. I need some help with the paperwork and a


    little more personal help with something else.” He smirked. “Here in the office. Can you do that?” he


    asked.


    “H..huh...sure..of course, alpha.” I stuttered. What could possibly go too wrong?


    “Good. I’ll hire you for that position, mate. You must be here at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Understood?”


    he whispered. The scent of sandalwood was now making me dizzy. But I managed to nod.


    I walked out of the office feeling better. Not excited as I should, because I had found out that the


    yboy alpha was my mate. But happy that I had got the job and now my family could live better. Let’s


    just hope for the best.
