Valerie’s POV
“You know you can’t keep him waiting for too long, it’s already 10:00 pm, and his driver has been waiting outside that door for over two hours. I’m sure he is the one calling you all morning and that is why you are not taking his calls.
For fucks sake, this is the Alpha we are talking about, every she-wolf in this pack would die to be in your shoes right now. What the hell, am I even saying, I would give anything to be in your shoes as well.” Janelle let out grumpily, heaving a frustrated sigh as she stared at lazy ass lying on the bed, listening to music.
It’s Sunday morning, and I’m supposed to be with my boss right now, but for some weird reason, I chose to dare him this morning. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to lose my job before I even begin, I’m only trying to prove a fucking point. I’m trying to prove to him that I’m not so desperate for this job that I would let him insult and abuse me. He’s been doing this since I met him, he keeps giving orders and expecting everyone to fall in line simply because he is the Alpha.
He acts all proud and mighty, demeaning everyone around him, and making everyone feel lesser and inferior. I know that being the Al0ha and the CEO gives him the right to act as he pleases, but I won’t let him treat me that way, not when I’m going to be living and working with him. I need to set the record straight and he needs to know that there are boundaries that he must never cross with me, not unless he wants to get me pissed. I’m going to flout his orders today, yes, I will not be coerced by that brute, I won’t let him win.
“I’ll arrive whenever I chose to and there is nothing he can do about it, Elle,” I responded calmly, ignoring the nervous look on her face.
“This is the job you desire, you have something good going on here, why the hell would you choose to ruin it before it begins?
Need I remind you that Alpha Maverick is not a patient guy, you may not like the outcome of this prank you are playing with, Valerie. Do not say that I did not warn you.” She scolded furiously, trying desperately to get me to stand up from the fucking bed and at least get my stuffs together. I could hear the driver knocking on the door once more, trying to get me to open up, and at the same time, Janelle was scolding me in there as well. I ignored them both, buying more time for myself, and enjoying the silly game I was playing right now.
Then all of a sudden, the door to our room was forcefully kicked open, and I jerked up from the bed in shock and looked in the direction of the door to see what was happening. I nearly fainted when I saw Alpha Maverick, standing by the door, holding it ajar as he glared furiously at me.
He stalked me like a predator trails its prey and he took precise steps toward me, looking so furious and dangerous. My heart pounded in fear, confidence from before disappeared completely, I don’t know what he is capable of and it fucking scares me. I turned to flee into the bathroom, but he caught me before I could even take two steps and he lifted me and threw me across his shoulder like a weightless pillow.
I tried to wiggle on his shoulder and scream for help, but I shut my mouth firmly when I felt his flat palm coming hard on my ass. The pain was searing and I tried so hard not to scream out in pleasure because for some unknown reason, I felt pleasure when he spanked my ass and it felt so embarrassing because everyone in this room must have heard the sound I made when he hit me. I hung my head low as he carried me out of the house on his shoulder as if he fucking owns me.
“Get her things from the other girl and meet me in my suite!” he orders the driver in that proud and bossy tone that makes me want to punch him in the fucking face. With one hand holding me in place, he used his other hand to open the door to the passenger side of his Porsche and he dropped me on the seat roughly, banging the door hard as he shuts me in before turning to jump into the driver’s seat. He started the car immediately and
“You bastard!
You fucking…” he stepped on the brake so suddenly that I hit my head on the dashboard. He pulled the car over and grabbed me so roughly and smashed his lips to mine, kissing me so roughly. I moaned into the kiss, loving the feel of his lips on mine. And before I could get melt into his arms, he pulled away abruptly, pushing me aside like a piece of trash.
“You should have told me you wanted me,” he scoffed.
“I should have known that you are just as desperate as all the other girls that keep throwing themselves at me. Well, if you must know, I don’t fraternize with my employees, and I certainly do not go about screwing every desperate whore that wants a piece of me.
If you want to last long in that company, then you’ll have to learn to put your lousy feeling out of the way and focus on your work. I don’t get fooled easily, and just for the record, I’m not interested in you. So the next time you try to seduce me again, I’ll fucking make you regret it.” He scored me angrily, with no regard for my feelings.
“seduce you?
I didn’t reduce you, mister, you kissed me. And just so we are clear, I want you to know that I don’t like you either. I have a boyfriend and I fucking love him. He’s not an arrogant bastard, and he certainly knows how to treat women right. Unlike some peo…”
“Don’t you fucking dare, or I swear, I’m going to,”
“You will do nothing because you don’t own me, Maverick. You can’t treat me this way, I don’t belong to you. I may work for you but I’m certainly not yours.” I retorted angrily, a ring at him. He has to make up his mind and decide if I’m going to work with him or not. I can’t be tossed around like a ragged doll.
First, he forcefully takes me out of the comfort of my friend’s house, then he kisses me, and turns around to accuse me of trying to seduce him, claiming I’m one of those girls lusting after him. Now I’m telling him that I have a boyfriend and he is still pissed off at me. I have no fucking idea what this guy wants from me, and it’s even more frustrating when I start feeling strangely around him. I feel my heart pounding faster whenever he touches me. It feels the same way as his touch, and it reminds me of his kiss as well. But I can not believe for one moment that this arrogant brute is the same guy that is supposed to be my mate. They are nothing alike, and I refuse to associate him with my man.
He said it himself that he is not attracted to me. There is no way in hell that my mate would ever say this to me. He is so kind and loving, and he promised to watch over me and protect me. But this guy sitting in front of me, glaring daggers at me is not my mate, I’m pretty sure of that. I may feel tingling on my skin and weakness in my knees whenever he touches me, I could even enjoy the feel of his hands on my body, but make no mistake, he is just an arrogant and proud Alpha and CEO. Without his money and title, I’m pretty sure that no girl would want to look at him, his gorgeous looks won’t matter then because he would be just like the other regular guys that don’t appeal to me.
“You know what?
This was all a huge mistake, there is no way in hell that I’m going to put up with you for much longer. I quit, Mav, I fucking quit!” I yelled out in anger as I tried to push open the door, but he pulled me back in anger, and for a moment, I saw his eyes take on a darker shade, but it disappeared almost immediately and all I could see is anger and venom in his eyes.
“I think I have tolerated you enough, Valerie. First, you crashed my party and accused me of many despicable things, claiming I made you homeless and jobless. You forced me into giving you this job, and now you think you are going to quit on me before you start, you think I would let you go so easily?” he asked me sternly, sounding so dangerous.
“Let me right now, or I’m going to…”
“Do what!” he screamed at my face, still glaring at me.
“What are you going to do about it?
Oh wait, let me guess…
You’ll go running back to Woodbridge to report me to mommy and daddy, right?”
At this point, I knew I was done for, I am so fucking dead. How the hell did he know about Woodbridge, how did he know about my parents? Has he been communicating with them, was he sent by them to bring me back home?
“You look so scared, my pet. Don’t you want me to meet your parents, is there something you wouldn’t want me to find out at Woodbridge?” he asked in a mocking tone, telling me that he noticed the change in my expression when he mentioned my hometown and my family.
Gosh, I’m so fucked!!!
What the hell am I going to do now, what do I say to turn this situation around?
