Tougher Than She Looks
She followed me calmly as I led her to the parking lot where our cars were parked. She did her best to stay calm and she kept gazing into thin air, lost in thought, or maybe she is just trying to avoid making eye contact with me.
I opened the door for her and she smiled sadly at me as she got in, making my heart clench in pain because I can feel her sadness.
I turned around and got into the driver’s seat of my jeep and looked at her with so much curiosity.
For someone who is probably not going to see her family again, she looks quite gentle and relaxed.
I was expecting her to be hysterical or fight to be with her family or even cry. But she just sits quietly at the passenger seat and watched the trees move by us as my car drove along the dirt road leading out of her fathers crib and finally enters the main road.
She did not even glance back at her former home. she seems to have accepted her fate and I admired her bravery. ” She would make a great Luna ” I thought to myself.
” Take the guys and head home. Sofia and I will arrive later ” I said to Ralph through our mind link.
” Yes Alpha ” he responded.
I want to start a conversation with her but I don’t know what to say to her because she’s still a little wary of me. I decided to start with the first question that came to my mind at the moment.
” Why are you dress like that??” ” Are you a nun??” I asked her trying to sound gentle and not bossy.
She turned to me and got lost in thought again as she stared at me strangely.
I guess she’s checking me out or maybe she’s trying to read me an know what kind of a person I am.
“No sir, am not a nun,” She responded politely after checking me out for some few seconds.
When I heard her call me sir, I realized that I had not told her my name before. I didn’t want to give any impression in front of her family and my boys that are humans.
It wouldn’t be good for business if they saw me being soft and gently with a girl. If they find out how I feel about her, word could to my enemies and they would try to hurt her just to get to me.
“Am Damien. I’d like for you to address me by my name ” I said to her and she nodded in response to my request as I smiled warmly at her.
“If you’re not a nun, why are you dressed in a habit and veil??” I asked her yet again.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“It’s a requirement in my school. I wont be allowed to leave the school premises dressed in casuals ” she said with her head down.”
I heaved a sigh of relief when I got to know that she wasn’t a nun. Now I can relax a bit as I try to make her fall in love with me.
I was taking her to a mall. obviously she needs a wardrobe change. After shopping for clothes, well be heading to a salon to give her a makeover.
“Am definitely not introducing her to my pack in that outfit, Nope. Not happening.”
After changing her outfit and giving her a makeover, we’ll head home to my family.
I turned to glance at her cute innocent face. She seems a little nervous. I think she wants to ask me a question but she’s second guessing herself.
I wont force it. I know she must be feeling the mate bond already. Soon, she’ll love and trust me unconditionally.
After some minutes, She finally summoned the courage and asked.
“Can I please ask for a favour??” She asked timidly.
“Go on,” I said grinning from ear to ear like an idiot.
“Please don’t sell me off to human traffickers. I’ll serve you obediently, I promise. I’ll never disobey your orders and I’ll never try to run away. Please… ” she pleaded sadly with her eyes filled with tears.
I was so shocked by her words that I stepped on the brakes immediately, making the car stop with such force that we both jerked forward and backward along with the car.
I turned and gave her a sharp look that shut her up immediately. The thought of my mate being trafficked sent chills all over me.
God, I can’t even imagine that thought. I would probably kill anyone that does such a thing to her.
“Am so sorry to offend you. I’ll never make such requests again.” She said hysterically because she thought that she has offended me with her request.
I parked the car by the road and turned to look at her. She had her head down and the tears were now flowing down her cheeks but she tried to hide them from me.
“Look at me Sofia,” I said to her as I tried to maintain my calm tone so I don’t scare her.
She hesitated a little before she finally looked up at me. Our eyes held for some seconds as we just starred at each other. I could feel our bond as my wolf howled happily in my head.
“Let’s get this straight, You’re mine Sofia and no one is taking you away from me, No one.” I confessed to her as I lean closer to her, getting so close that our lips almost touched.
“You’re Mine alone, ” I added slowly, making sure she understood every word I just said.
She swallowed her saliva in fear because of my closeness to her. I know she can feel our bond also. It may not be as strong as I feel it but it’s definitely there and she knows it.
I brought down my lips to hers and gave her a slight peck, smiling to myself as she shivered a little in reaction. She’s definitely feeling it too, I know it.
I turned to face the road and we continued our drive to the mall.
I could feel her eyes on me and when I turned to meet her eyes, she looked away immediately and I smiled at her shyness.
We arrived at the mall and she looked at me with uncertainty. She wanted to ask me why we were here but she was holding back because she doesn’t want to offend me.
“You’ll be meeting my parents and all my family and friends today. I don’t want you to meet them in that outfit.” I explained calmly, not waiting for her to ask.
She nodded in understanding and I got out of the car and turned to open the door for her, but she opened it and got out before I got to it and I reprimanded her.
“Next time, you sit tight and let me open the door for you Okay??”
She looked unsure of how to answer me so she just nodded in response with her face still looking confused and bewildered.
I locked the car and took hold of her hand, leading her into the mall.
When our skin made contact we felt zaps of electricity that made her pull her hand back and looked at me with a terrified expression.
I glared at her for withdrawing her hand, and she took hold of my hand again, looking down in embarrassment as we walked into the mall holding hands like a couple.
I love the feeling I got as I held her hand, it was a feeling of peace and calm,
” A feeling of having a mate ”
My hand left her hands and went around her waist, pulling her closer to me. My wolf, Alvin roared in excitement as we both enjoyed the warmth of having our mate in our arms for the first time. I had the urge to back her up against a wall and kiss her but I held back those thoughts because I want to ease her into her new life so she wouldn’t live in fear of me.
We went into a boutique in the mall and moved around as I picked out some clothes for her. A sales person approached us and I handed the clothes I picked to her and told her to assist Sofia in the changing room.
She walked out of the changing room few minutes later looking like an angel. She was dressed in a figure hugging red dress that showed a little cleavage, setting off her gorgeous and flawless caramel skin that glowed under the soft lighting in the room. Her veil has been removed to reveal a dark wavy curls that cascaded down her shoulders. Her gown has a high slit that shows off her long legs up to her thighs. Her hazel eyes gazed deep into my black orbs, before she looked away in shyness.
” Shit ”
I hissed under my breath as I trailed my eyes on her legs up to her thighs. My eyes wandered up her body, falling on the little cleavage her gown showed off. I bit down on my lips, trying hard to control myself so I don’t scare her but seeing her in that sexy dress took my sanity away and my eyes darkened in lust as Alvin tried to take control.
” Mate… ”
He kept howling and I lost all control as I walked up to her, backing her up against the wall with my hands around her waist. I pulled her closer to me as I captured her soft full pink lips in a fierce kiss.
” Leave!!”
I ordered the sales person that assisted her in her dressing and she ran out immediately, leaving us to ourselves.
I kissed her gently at first but after she relaxed in my arms, I intensified the kiss, demanding her affection as I basked in her warmth.
I could tell from her response that she’s a novice and she is quite inexperienced..
We were immersed in a beautiful and passionate kiss as I nipped at her lower lip and explored every inch of her warm mouth.
I moved downwards and kissed the very spot on her neck where she’ll bear my mark one day and she involuntarily let out a moan of pleasure, leaning more into the kiss.
I pulled my tongue out to lav at that very spot before taking it between my teeth in a gentle love bite and she moaned even louder as her hips buck toward me, and I smiled in satisfaction as she reacts to our bond.
“Not here and not now my love.” I whispered in her ears as I pulled back and looked at her brightly flushed face.
She blushed a bright red and refused to raise her head up as she uses her hair to cover her face. I could tell that’s she’s feeling shy at her own lustful response to my seduction.
I pushed her her hair back and admired my handiwork as I saw the mark of my love bite.
“This’ll do, for now. Until I put my mark on that spot.” I said inside.
“Let’s go.” I said to her as I pulled her to the cashier’s desk and paid for all the clothes that I had picked for her.
We both walked back to the car as I placed her stuff in the truck then I opened the passenger’s door for her and she whispered her thanks before I closed it and made my way to the driver’s side and sat. I leaned over to put on her seatbelt then I stole another kiss from her before moving back to put on my own seatbelt as we drove off to the saloon.
I sat patiently in the saloon and waited for her. I could feel the eyes of some ladies staring admiringly at me but I couldn’t care less as I admired the beauty of my mate. ” In less than four hours, I had transformed Sofia from a nun to a super hot beauty queen that even super models could not compare with. She looked so stunning.
I could feel a burning desire within me that I know only Sofia could quench. I’ve been with several women but none had ever ignited this burning desire in me.
“That’s the beauty of the mate bond”.
I could feel her stiffened in my arms as I put my hand around her waist and led her out of the saloon to my car. She froze in my arms and she only relaxed after I shut the door and turned over to my side of the car.
Am not bothered about her reactions because I know that all that is going to change once she gets to know me better. She asleep on the way to my pack house, feeling quite drained and exhausted.
When she woke up we were pulling up into the driveway that led to the pack house.
Her eyes widened in shock as she took in the sight.
I’ve never felt more proud of my achievements over the years than I do right now as I saw the expression on her face.
“We’re home.”
I told her as we pulled up the driveway.
“This will be your new home. I’ve informed everyone of your arrival and they are so excited to finally meet you.”
“Ok Sir.” she responded.
“Damien,” I corrected.
She just nodded her head. I know she’s deliberately avoiding to mention my name but it’s fine. I know she’ll come around, We have enough time.
We walked into the house and Stacy and Tracy, my twin kid sisters came rushing to Sofia and they both gave her a bone crushing hug as she struggled to breathe in their strong hold.
“Behave girls, she’s human and you’re strangling her.” I mind linked them both.
“We’re so sorry sis. we’re just so happy that Damien now has someone else to bully.” announced Tracy the eldest twin.
“Which simply means that he’ll have no time to bully us again… Hurrah ” Supported Stacy.
Sofia smiled a little at their joke which was more infuriating because she has not smiled at me since I took her away from her parents house.
“I’ll get you two for this.” I said through our link.
Mum and dad walked in together and welcomed her warmly.
“I hope you two have been behaving?” mum asked Stacy and Tracy, eying them suspiciously.
“Do not pay any attention to their squabbles and try not to take sides when they fight.” my dad spoke in a loving manner, smiling warmly at her.
Once the introduction was done, I took her to her room so she can rest because she’ll be meeting the pack later on.
I could tell she felt more relaxed after meeting my family.
It’s a good thing that Ralph was not here when we arrived, he would have been too amazed at her transformation and I wouldn’t want him to mention anything about her conservative lifestyle to my family because they’ll make sure they tease me with it constantly.
“I want it to be a secret that my mate used to live like a nun.”
