Sara's POV

"What do you want, Trin?" I ask with outmost vexation. Can't a girl have her peace? I just want to rest a bit and think things through, but no!

Trin pushed the door wider with an attitude and let herself in. This girl is really something.

"You! Imposter! How dare you deceive Alpha Bowen? Admit it now and leave us alone. He is my mate. Mine!" Trin screamed.

"I am the imposter. You can have him. Now, convince him to let me and my Pappy go." Straight up, I told Miss Pretty. She was stunned as to how easily I gave in. She pouted in disbelief.

"Is there anything else I can help you with because if not then leave my damn room now!" I pointed my hand towards the exit.

Trin crossed her arms and looked at me with fury and said, "you are good.

" She marched menacingly to me. "Your modus is too obvious.

You play hard to get to the alpha so as to make him desire you.

You pretend not to care and not wanting to be his mate but in fact it is your utmost aim.

Listen, Sara! I will not let you win. You and whoever is working with you to trick my mate will answer to me. " She promised.

I clapped my hands and sneered at her. "Believe what you want to believe. Again, get out of my room!" This time I am losing all composure. If she does not leave soon she will answer to my enraged wolf!

"You are a fraud. Behind this conservative and aloof persona you show is an old woman who is out of her league. You are nothing but a pretentious and sly slut!" Trin fired away.

I closed the distance and introduced my twitching palm to her cheek. Her head twist badly to the right with the impact. The sound of my smack still echoes in the room. She flinched and looked me with teary and accusing eyes. She nursed her hurting cheek.

My wolf and I will never tolerate such personal attack. The audacity of this girl!

A growl was heard and before I knew it Alpha Bowen has my arm in a tight grip pulling me away from Trin. His face says it all. The outrage!

"What the hell is going on here? Sara, how could you lift your hand against Trin?" He shouted. Now, I flinched.

"Alpha, Sara just got short tempered. I am fine. Am sure she is sorry for what she did." Trin said meekly, obviously trying to get the alpha's sympathy. Sympathy my arse!

Bowen never took his accusing eyes off me. He demanded, "well, are you? Are you sorry for what you did?" Bowen is steaming.

I looked at Trin and then back at alpha. Am I sorry? Here's my piece!

"Never! I will never apologize for this because she deserved it!

No one, and I say no one calls me a pretentious and sly slut and gets away with it!

" I screamed louder than Bowen. "Go ahead, punish me, kill me, banish me!

That girl better hold her malicious tongue or my wolf will chew her face! " I threatened.

And just like that, my proud wolf took over. I shifted. Bowen and Trin were taken aback. Yes, take that! Hah! Go ahead, marvel at my massive snowy white wolf! I bet Trin is eaten with envy again.

It's been said that pure white wolves are rare now like one for every five thousand.

My wolf gave a warning growl that shook the ground. Bowen growled in response, trying to show who is the boss around here. My wolf sneered at him and dashed out of the room and out of the mansion.

Forest. My wolf and I need a very good run.

"Sara!" Bowen called to no avail.

"Alpha, stay with me. Let her go!" Trin begging the alpha was the last my wolf and I heard, thankfully.

My wolf didn't really know where she was going but as long as tall trees covered the forest we were at ease. She ran and ran until exhaustion took over. I could not shift back to human form because I do not have clothes prepared. I had no choice but to go back the mansion in wolf form.

As I was slow walking back, pack members were ogling my wolf. Some would gasp in delight. Some would stay silent but kept looking. Some were even bowing. Whoa! Jeez, no need to bow. I am no luna. I quicken my pace as the staring gets too much for me.

At the front door, beside four warriors, beta Davos waited. When they saw me, again the look of awe. I growled in annoyance.

"Miss Sara, the alpha will meet you in two hours." He curtly informed.

I nodded and walked on.

I shifted in the bathroom and went straight to shower. I wore a loose T-shirt and cotton shorts the ate the food placed on the side table.

I need a nap, there's still minutes left before seeing the alpha again. Alpha Bowen and Trin are tiresome!

My much needed rest was interrupted when I felt my hips being rocked. I could hardly open my eyes and my head aches. I grunted my displeasure.

"Go away! I want to sleep some more, please." I murmured.

"Sara, are you feeling unwell?" A voice asked then a warm hand touched my forehead. I grunted again signifying my irritation.

"Sara, wake up. Look at me, my brave one." The sound of the voice is so gentle and sweet. Who could be calling me brave? I fought my daze and opened my eyes only to realize it was Bowen.

I blinked twice just to be sure. When I was sure I scrambled to cover myself with the quilt but he was sitting on it and I could not pull it.

He has this weird look on his face as he takes in my face and my body. Unbelievably enough, I found myself liking the look. I look like a mess for sure but this man is looking at me as if I was the prettiest girl in the world.

Bowen touched my cheeks with the back of his fingers. Caressing it up and down, feeling the warmth of my skin and the electricity it ignites. Why am I letting him touch me? I was frozen in the moment unable to make decisions.

"You were furious a while ago. Do you know how sexy you and your wolf looked when you were angry?" He cooed.

Oh no! No, no, no! Sara, do something! Stop this now.

I took a deep breath. "I do not need your flattery, alpha. Give them all to Trin, surely they will be heartily accepted." I said.

"I do not want to talk about Trin." He inched his body lower.

"Can you move, please? You are suffocating me." I need to escape this situation. I am slowly turning into a deer who is frozen in the face of its hunter's rifle. His addicting scent is not helping my resolve. Dear moon goddess!

"Your budding nipples are saying a different thing. And I can smell your arousal." Bowen rubbed his palm from my knee going up my leg. I release a faint moan and quickly covered my lips with my hands.

I am mortified and too proud to admit my reaction. I swat his hand away. But this only made Bowen brazen.

Before I could summon the will to put an end to this, his fingers found my cunt and started playing with the slippery knob.

To suppress another treacherous moan, I reprimanded him with a shaky voice, "get you hand...." before I could say the next words Bowen already captured my mouth and kissed me aggressively. His fingers were still doing impudent things on my cunt.

I admit I surrendered to his kisses and touch for a moment but when he released my mouth from the kiss I uttered, "stop please, I may not be your mate." Bowen looked forlorn but conceded.

"We are expecting you in my office in 15 minutes." With that business-like tone, Bowen stood and left me alone in my confusion and shame.
