My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 10

Caliana POV

Like the morning before, I woke up to the smell of citrus. I get out of bed and do my morning routine, I have nothing much to do so I am just indoors. I'm sitting on the sofa next to the window and reading a favorite book of mine, the stone bull. I smile as I read but my mind trails to the alpha, why did he buy me if he hates me so much, and isn't it easy to reject me? Does he abhor me so much that he can't do that and chose to punish me?

Not wanting to think about the alpha, I went to the shower. After the shower, I dried myself up and slipped into a short, and wore a tank top since the weather is hot today. My stomach growled and I went downstairs to have my breakfast. As I descended the stairs, I came face to face with the brooding alpha. My breath hitched as his gaze roamed over me. This was the first time he looked at me ever so gently and a flicker of desire appeared but it was gone just as fast as I saw it.

" Good morning, alpha." I greeted timidly, casting my head down. He only nodded and moved past me but our arms somehow managed to touch and sparks ignited over my body, he startled too indicating he felt them. The raw desire to be with him overpowered me but I managed to control myself and quickly got away. Reaching the kitchen, I find a man I had never seen before. He was good-looking with black hair and brown eyes. He stood up and pushed his plate away,

" Luna!" He mused, approaching me as if we are friends. He was friendly despite his intimidating muscular body.

'" Hi," I said, smiling at the gentleman

" Hello, I'm Garret, a warrior, and the best chef," He said, I nodded and went to sit on the island. Garret went to the stove and started making me breakfast as he talked throughout. He was just praising himself for how good he is as a cook, he was making me smile and laugh with his jokes

" So, how old are you, Luna,"

" I'm twenty, and you?"

"Twenty-five," He answered. He put a plate full of sausages, eggs, and toast bread, there was so much food on the tray for me.

“ I can’t eat all this!” I chided and he laughs

“ Of course, you are a wolf,”

I dug in and he joined me in eating, he was eating more of the sausages while I loved the blueberry and toast bread.

“ So Luna, have you been to see the pack already?” He asks and I shook my head. After breakfast, Garret wanted to take me around the pack and I agreed, he lived here but was away for a while to train warriors in another pack. He goes to his room and changes his clothes.

“ Ready?” I nod and entered his black truck in the passager seat. He tells me more about the pack and how much they are a united front but he didn’t have to remind me. This pack was the most powerful and ruthless for miles and the reputation of their alpha makes it hard for anyone to even attack them.

The pack was absolutely beautiful and neat, there was patrol everywhere who were uniforms and even a police post.

" Is that the pack house?" I ask, pointing at the huge mansion in the center.

" Yes," It was grand and upper class, it put my former packhouse to shame. We went to the pack and surprisingly, everyone was very welcoming and respectful to me. A few girls immediately surround Garret, and he's smiling like he won a competition. I roll my eyes,
