Chapter 2 I want you

Mia

Something kept telling me to move. No, not telling, but screaming at me to not only move but run. Unfortunately, I couldn't. It was as though I was paralyzed at the spot where I stood as Vincent and Edward closed in on me.

Edward was dressed in all black but his green eyes and blonde hair was the highlight of his appearance. His hair looked soft and it shone brightly. I wondered if it was as soft as it looked. Those eyes were alluring too and had powers to hold anyone captive like it was doing to me now. There was no trace of a smile on his face but there wasn't a scowl either. His face was hard which showed his personality but it didn't make him less attractive.

Sure enough, my father was giving me murderous glares but Edward's look was cautious, in awe, like he was seeing a wonderful piece of art.

Oh yeah, my piece of art. I knocked off the part of me that thought he was staring at me like I was one sexy hottie as I realized his gaze kept flickering from me to my mural.

"Mia." Vincent said with a cold tone. "You're in our way."

Oh crap! I moved out and cleared my tools that were scattered all over before carrying away the mini ladder to make way for them to get to the garage.

"That's one beautiful piece."

My insides warmed up as he spoke. His voice was like music and a crazy part of me wanted that music in my ears all the time. I shook my head to clear out the thoughts before focusing on him again.

"Thank you." I said with a nervous smile.

He stared at me for a while making me more nervous as I shifted from one foot to another while I stole glances at him, wondering when the staring match would end.

"Come on." Vincent said, pulling Edward from whatever trance he had fallen into. Obviously, dad wasn't pleased that his guest was ogling me but that wasn't my fault.

Vincent and Edward made their way past me and I caught a whiff of his scent. I resisted the urge to inhale it for fear that he would hear me.

Moving back some of my stuff from where I had stashed them, I continued my painting as Edward and Vincent disappeared together into the garage. My body still hasn't gotten over the intense moment, neither has my wolf so the best distraction to pull back my focus was by jumping right back into work.

My eyes flickered to the garage when what seemed like ten minutes had passed and no car had driven out.

From Vincent's mood, I could tell he didn't get the alliance he had wanted which means it's going to be a bad day today in the pack and worse for me. As the Alpha's daughter, one may assume I'm privileged but the reverse is the case. I get bullied by pack members and my father acts like he doesn't know about that. Instead, he agrees with my bullies because to him, I'm useless as a latent wolf.

The air changed with the scent of their wolves again. I whipped my head around to see Vincent with a smile and Edward with a curious look on his face. I lowered my gaze as I descended from the ladder knowing this was going to be about me.

"Mia, dear..." Vincent began and I frowned at the endearment. The smile was still spread out on his face and I knew something was wrong.

"Edward here finds you attractive and would love to know you better." He finished, leaving me stunned.

"I don't understand."

"What's there not to understand when a man sees something he likes?" Vincent continued with that smile I've never seen him wear before.

Something wasn't right. Vincent would never be smiling this way because some wolf told him they found his daughter attractive and for a powerful Alpha like Vincent, he would be dishing out reasons why they shouldn't even look at me twice. The number one reason would be that I'm a latent wolf.

"I want you, Mia." Edward said, and I stared at him with mouth agape. I would be lying if I said those words didn't get to me. My body suddenly went hot. This has to be the weather.

"What am I not being told?"

It's easy to get swooned by the words he said but I held back myself. Not until I figure this out. Besides, Edward isn't an angel. He's the Alpha that's rumoured to be a ruthless devil so getting swooned should be out of my head.

"Okay, let's cut the crap and set this straight." I swallowed as my father took a step forward towards me. He kept walking till he stood before me.

"Edward finds you attractive and when he was about to drive away, he asked questions about you then confessed what he was feeling. When a man like Edward wants something, he gets it and you know that's the same for me." The smile he was wearing earlier had turned to a smirk and I knew I wouldn't like what was coming next.

"He wanted you so I had to strike a deal with him." His voice fell to a whisper as he closed the space between us. "An alliance with Edward and now you're all his. You will go with him back to Phoenix Pack. We even signed a deal over it to avoid complications in the future."

I blinked as I stared at the wolf who was supposed to be my protector as my father. Impossible!

"So... So... What am I? His mate?" I stuttered, still trying to find my voice.

He chucked, "who gets a latent wolf as a Luna? Come off your high horse Mia. You're now his mistress." He said with a sneer and stepped back. "Over to you, Edward." He called out to the Alpha I was once admiring. How wrong I was to admire the devil because he appeared in the form of an angel. I forgot how brutal he was because of his stupid, crazy, motherfucking looks!

He walked slowly to me with the look of caution still on his face. "Hey."

I was beginning to pant hard, anger getting the better part of me. "If you think you can have me out of my pack then you're wrong!" I yelled out and charged at him.
