The Alpha's Mate Curse

Alannah closed her eyes and tried not to moan when his lips found its way to her slender neck..

"Where are you,My love?" He whispered into her ear but she couldn't say anything and just let him do whatever he wanted..

His Ocean blue eyes were glowing as he stared at her.

It held more darkness than any eyes she has ever seen..

His hands roamed her body teasingly and when she tried to make out the shape of his face , he pinned her hands above her head but strangely she doesn't hate whatever it is he was doing to her..

She wanted to feel his lips everywhere on her burning skin..

"Why are you hiding, little one?" His alluring voice made it impossible for her to make out a word..

Alannah was about to see his face as he moved from the dark slowly when her alarm woke her up..

A yawn escaped her lips as she lazily got outta her bed and walked towards the bathroom..

She stood Infront of a mirror and moved her hair aside to observe the hickeys on her skin..

For years she has been having the same wet dream over and over again and every morning she would wake with hickeys all over her body..

Strangely enough she never hated any of it..

She heaved a sigh and began brushing her teeth else she was gonna be late on her first day at work..

She'd just moved to Austria after leaving the orphanage.

Caroline,Her only friend wanted her to stay in her apartment but Alannah liked her peace and quiet and preferred to stay only..

Caroline grew up at the orphanage with her until recently she got reunited with her real family and left the orphanage also...

She was the only one that understood her and never called her a freak like the rest...

She heaved a sigh and quickly got ready for work..

"Annah! Don't tell me you're still in bed!" Caroline repeatedly knocked on her door..

She shook her head and unhurriedly opened the door for her friend..

"I'm all dressed up already." She smiled softly and slowly tied her hair in a ponytail and went to her vanity table to pick her glasses..

It was the only thing that could control her sight and avoid running into creatures in the streets..

Yes she could see things others can't and it was the main reason why she kept to herself most of the time...

"Hurry up sissy! We're gonna be late!" Caroline Glared at his friend who was taking a long time to get ready and helped her carry her beg..

They both left her apartment together and headed towards the company she was gonna work for...

Annah made sure her glasses were always covering her eyes especially when she was taking a public bus..

Once she failed to cover her eyes and saw a fox staring directly at her with his hungry gray eyes. Thankfully she was able to control herself and acted like she didn't see anything...

"Do you think they'll accept me? " Annah asked the moment they arrived at the 100th floor building...

Annah was nervous because it was her first time working at such a big company..

Why don't they accept her? And think of her as a freak also?

All the jobs she'd worked before were odd jobs and never lasted up to a month there..

"What are you scared of? With that CV of yours I'm pretty sure they're gonna accept you." Caroline assured her and she took a deep breath to calm her nervousness.

She forced a smile and Cutch her bag tightly..

"I can do this." She assured herself and Caroline cheered her on...

"And I'll wait for you so promise me you're gonna get the job." Caroline stretched forth her pinky finger and they did the pinky promise...

*******

Inside a board room at the top floor of A building where a meeting was being held..

The executives were sweating profusely as they tried not to make a sound to distract the boss who seemed to be in deep thought..

Everyone knew who Nicklaus Grey was and how hot his temper was..

This was nineth presentation in two days that they've presented to the boss but for some reason he kept rejecting all of them without bothering to check any of it..

They were hoping this was gonna be the last seeing the fact that he'd not Said a word..

"Trash this and make a New one." Nicklaus casually said proving them wrong..

"Did I make myself clear??" Nicklaus's deep voice echoed inside the room filled with six executives.

While his gaze swept across the room, all of them couldn't dare to look him in the eyes as they hummed in a tone of agreement.

"The rest of you can go, except Mr. Zollan. " Nicklaus's ocean blue eyes fell upon the middle aged man who was a few seats away from him.

"Yes sir!" They answered in sync and hurriedly left the room as if the next seconds they failed to dismiss themselves outta the sight of the boss, he would make their lives miserable than it had already been..

Everyone except Mr. Zollan left the room..

They looked at the middle aged man with pity and wondered what he'd done to be noticed by the boss...

Since the beginning of the presentation they felt Mr Nicklaus wasn't in a good mood,he looked unusually cold and sharp, it didn't mean he was friendly and warm with other people..

However what they didn't know was that the discussion they were about to have was beyond their imagination..

Elias, a young man in his late twenties, walked into the office and Zollan immediately stood up and bowed slightly in respect.

" Beta supreme Elia." He greeted the young master who was Nicklaus's assistant..

Elias nodded his head in acknowledgement and walked towards the CEO's desk with a stack of paperwork that needed the boss's attention but unfortunately Nicklaus wasn't paying much attention..

Nicklaus Gray, the legendary name of Alpha supreme who was famous in the human world and the supernatural world..

He was the infamous CEO of Grey TECH in the human world and not many souls were fortunate enough to see the most handsome man that has ever walked the earth..

Most of his staff aren't human, while the rest are supernatural creatures, Like Zollan who was initially the Alpha of the red blood pack, the pack established under Grey's territory..

Automatically the members of the park would also work at his company.

"Therianthropes have been reportedly seen around the City which is impossible because they have been locked away for centuries." Elias explained with a frown but Nicklaus wasn't interested..

He signaled Elia to stop with his cold eyes..

Therianthropes are considered dangerous creatures because they could shape shift into whatever they wanted..

If Therianthropes are being seen that means someone or something is trying to free them from the underworld..

Nicklaus placed his hand on the table and rested his head on it..

Recently his wolf has been on the edge about to surface any moment and he still didn't know why.

Something didn't feel right and he couldn't pinpoint what was going on..

He was feeling antsy all of a sudden like something was missing..

"Supreme Alpha Nicklaus, are you alright?" Elias asked when he noticed how pale His boss looked but Nicklaus didn't say a word and kept his eyes closed..

Zollan saw it as his que to leave and left immediately to avoid igniting the wrath of the alpha...

Nicklaus opened his eyes , however his ocean blue eyes had turned pitch black which only means his Wolf Side is about to take over..

"Your wolf side is on the surface." Elias pointed out the obvious but Nicklaus suddenly stood up and walked outta his office immediately..

Elias was surprised but didn't go after his boss..

Nicklaus got into the elevator which led to the private parking lot where his driver was waiting for him..

His driver is an omega. He got into the car immediately..

"Drive." Was the only thing he said and Shea turned on the ignition immediately and drove outta the underground parking lot...

Nicklaus was having a hard time keeping his wolf in check.

He needed to find out what was going on with him..

He closed his eyes and let Shea drive him when he suddenly spoke in a guttural voice...

"Stop!" And the car tyres ate the asphalt with a screech that was hurting the ears of the lady who almost got run over by the car..

Alannah had just finished her interview and was Crossing over to the next street where Caroline was waiting at a restaurant when a car almost ran her over..

She stayed on the floor as she tried to recover from the shock of being crushed by a car when someone squatted Infront of her and pulled her into a hug..

"Mine."

For two seconds Alannah raised her head and stared at the man who was hugging and the thought that came to her mind was that he was handsome.. Not to exaggerate the description of that man but his features himself was able to put an average bodybuilder to shame.. His enchanting eyes were staring into hers and the more she looked at them the more she felt like she'd seen those pair of eyes before.. His pitch black eyes held her captive and no matter how hard she tried she wasn't able to look away.. His height and weight were bigger and higher than her..

His silky long hair was styled backwards perfectly.. Alannah gasps but couldn't make out a sound from her mouth.. She dropped her eyes from staring at him and wriggled free from his grip and tried to stand up but he pulled her into his embrace again and this time his voice became louder and clearer. "Mine." He whispered into her ear that sent an indecipherable feeling down her stomach. She'd heard that voice before.. It was the same voice in her dream every night asking her where she was... Her body trembled in fear as she thought of the unimaginable.. Did he come to kill her ? She tried to free herself from his muscled arms but her efforts were fruitless.. He kept hugging her tightly and her unique scent was able to calm his nerves and with his mate in his arms he could feel the serenity that he never felt for centuries.. The spark that lit up from the skin to skin contact with his half soul excited his wolf and made him crave for more.. It was an amazing feeling, something he hasn't felt for centuries.. It was like he was reborn after feeling lifeless and empty for centuries. Is it the mate bond? He has never felt so helpless yet powerful at the same time. He looked down at the fragile little human in his hands whose head could only reach his shoulder.. "What do you think you're doing,Mister? Let go of her now!" Nicklaus felt someone walk towards them and his body turned rigid as he let out a low growl. Annah who had just recovered from the shock of being run over by a car tried to get away from the strange man but instead of letting her go he tightened his hold on her making her wince in pain.. "Why don't you make me?" For a moment his eyes turned red as he glared at the timid human standing not far from them but only came back to his senses when he heard the little human's voice.. "You're hurting me." Annah managed to voice out and something seemed to snap inside of him .. He clenched his jaw in frustration as he tried to control herself. From the very first time he felt her, he desperately had this strong urge to protect her from anything.. This stupid mate bond!! He took a deep breath and opened his eyes and they went back to Blue and this surprised Annah because she could swear they were pitch black earlier... His Ocean blue eyes were a friendly reminder that he was the same person who has been torturing her for years in her sleep Her hands began to tremble as she tried not to make it look obvious that she was dead scared.. His grip on her had loosened but she couldn't stand up because she'd sprained her ankle.. She managed to get on her feet and tried to move away from him but she ended falling back into his arms.. "Don't be afraid, I'm not gonna hurt you." He sounded like he was pleading and Annah strangely believed him. There was this odd tingling sensation like there were butterflies in her stomach as she stared at him.. Annah stopped struggling but her fear was still there and her hands were trembling as she stared at her friend who was also confused about what was going on.. Elias got outta the car and walked towards his boss with a bewildered expression.. "Is she the one?" He asked.. "Yes she's Mine." Nicklaus declared and that seems to drive Caroline crazy. Just who do they think they're.. "Listen I don't care who the f*ck you're! Let her go now else I'm gonna call the cops!" Caroline shot him an angry look as her patient was running thin.. She was at the cafe across the street waiting for her friend so they could celebrate her getting the job only to hear of an accident and when she got there, it was the scene of her friend being held by a man .. "I don't know you and I don't think I'm the one you're looking for, let me go please." Annah mumbled in a timid voice and this made him calm down a bit.. "I'm Nicklaus Grey, CEO of Grey TECH and I'm taking her with me. Try and stop me if you can." Nicklaus said with a growl and Caroline's eyes widened in surprise.. He's Grey? The Grey? Nicklaus Grey wants her friend? It was a shocking revelation and also surprising given the nature of her friend who always kept to herself.. How did she manage to get the attention of the tech billionaire? Caroline isn't the only one who's surprised.. Alannah was also Surprised as she stared at the man holding her.. What the hell was going on? "I...I.. I didn't know you're Nicklaus Grey. I'm sorry if we caused you any trouble but you see my friend here isn't used to this kind of attention.." Caroline explained even though deep down she felt a little jealous.. Nicklaus didn't pay her any attention and kept his eyes on the little woman in his arms. He took off his coat and placed it on her shoulder and this made her flinched.. "It's okay, you're coming with me okay?" He sounded like he was coaxing her and Alannah couldn't even say no.. She also wanted answers to why she was always dreaming about him even though they've never met.. She wanted to go over to Caroline's but he stopped her again.. "Please stay, I won't hurt you I promise." He could still see the fear and confusion in her eyes as he clutched her handbag tightly.. The moment she moved away from him, the spark he felt when their skin came in contact disappeared.. he took a deep breath before calming the beast in him that wants her so badly.. "I wanna go to my house." Annah boldly informed him the moment she got closer to her best friend... "What's going Annah? Is there something you're not telling me?" Caroline was worried Annah had done something to gain the attention of the billionaire tech.. "It's fine, I would like to go home now." She told Caroline and Nick clenched his jaw in annoyance.. "We'll take you to your apartment if you don't mind, Miss." Elias spoke rather kindly but Annah just shook her head refusing to ride with that man. "You're coming with me." Nicklaus told her sternly and she clenched her trembling hands.. "Let's just go with them, Annah and maybe he's gonna tell us why he's actually so strange.." Caroline adviced and she heaved a sigh. After much persuasion from her friend she agreed to ride with Nicklaus to her apartment. Throughout the ride he never gave her some space.. He held so close,Annah felt like he would crush her bone.. Annah was trying to act normal even though her glasses got broken when she fell to the ground and have been trying not to look around her... She knows the driver is a wolf but strangely enough she couldn't see anything wrong with the man beside her and she wondered why.. He had the mysterious aura surrounding him and this kept people away from him .. The ride to her apartment felt longer than expected and the very moment they arrived at her apartment she got outta the car first and rushed all the way to her room.. Caroline gave Nicklaus an apologetic smile before running after his friend only to find out she'd Locked herself in.. "Annah opens the door!" Caroline banged on the door while staring at the Man who was leaning against his car.. "I wanna be left alone please." Annah was shivering with fear as she hid under the blankets. "Please open the door, let's hear what he has to say, okay?" Caroline was trying to persuade her but Annah let the fear take control of her. She couldn't get out of bed even if she wanted to. She was scared and nervous as she thought of what would become of her if she agrees to go with that man. Caroline looked at the man standing behind her and gave him a hesitant sheepish smile. "She locked herself in and I couldn't persuade her." She informed the tech billionaire who was already standing not far from her..

"She locked herself in and I couldn't persuade her." She informed the tech billionaire who was already standing not far from her.. His mate's scent was stronger than any other scent that they could scent. In the next seconds he was standing Infront of the door and grabbed the door knob but it was locked. He trailed his finger on the waterproof door while considering breaking it down and forced his way in but unfortunately he doesn't wanna scare the little woman. He felt her feet when he held her earlier and that made him uncomfortable.

Nicklaus looked around and finally found a pin on the hair of the lady beside him. He took it off her hair without warning and began picking the lock surprising Caroline.. She was speechless and at a loss of what to do.. The 'click' sounded echoed in the hallway and he impatiently walked inside the room. He clenched his hand into a fist as when he saw how little the room his mate was staying in. He scanned the entire room and finally found the little woman hiding under the sheets.. Nicklaus stopped on his track and just stared at her trembling figure.. "Why are you hiding from me, little one?" He asked with the softest voice ever and he was having a hard time because it was his first time trying to coax someone... "Annah? What's going on? Why are you hiding?" Caroline's shrewd voice made his ear hurt .. "Get out." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath while trying to calm his wolf.. When the confused Caroline still didn't move he turned around and looked at her with eyes burning with fury.. "What part of getting out! Don't you understand?" Patience has never been a forte for any wolf.. Caroline was shocked beyond words and she found herself running away angrily.. Who does he think he's? Once that nuisance was outta the room he walked towards the bed and sat down quietly before taking the sheets off her face.. "Stop hiding from me Little one, I won't hurt you." He spoke tenderly and she somehow believed everything he'd said.. She wasn't really scared of him, she was only confused and was trying to understand how he could be the same man in her dreams.. "We've to leave now, please." He whispered and slowly brought his big palm to her face and stroked her cheek gently.. Nicklaus has never said the word 'please' to anyone before but for her he was willing to do anything.. Nicklaus's driver Shea walked in with a warm smile.. "Hello Miss Alannah, I'm Shea. I'm here to pick your things." He grinned and Annah just kept staring at his face before nodding slowly.. "Shea, can you wait outside Abit? I need to talk to her." Shea nodded and left.. Their alpha has finally found his mate , it's only right they spend time alone.. Once Shea was gone. Nicklaus turned to the little woman and stroked her hair tenderly.. "We need to leave, my love." He spoke rather tenderly and this was only because he was talking to her.. Annah looked at him with a confused expression and while wondering what was going on in this beautiful stranger's head. "But I'm not your love." She simply said what was in her head and this made his lips curled upwards.. He moved closer and Suddenly made her rest her head on his thigh.. "You're my Mate , Alannah and no sane creature would ever hurt their mate even if they wanted to.. we're bonded together forever. So don't be scared and let me protect you." Nicklaus coaxes her while combing her chestnut hair with his longer slender fingers.. It was the first time in her life someone was looking at her with so much affection and this awoke some Many strange feelings inside of her. Over the years she'd gotten used to how our people saw her and already gave up on the fact that someone would actually look at her with so much love and affection.. They gave her that look as if she was Medusa and would throw gazes filled with pure disgust but the stranger was genuinely concerned about her and was also patient with her even when she proved difficult.. Nicklaus brought her tiny hand to his chest and she could feel his heart beating really fast.. "Can you feel that?" He asked with a husky voice.. Annah felt butterflies in her stomach when he held her wrist, surprisingly it didn't hurt and his palm was warm.. It was the same feeling she felt when he hugged her and also in her dreams but didn't pay attention to it because she was scared. But when she felt it clearly she wanted to touch his face too and she did.. She took her hand away from his chest and placed it on his face while scrutinizing his face.. "I know you feel it too, my love. Hurting you is like hurting myself." Nicklaus placed his hand on hers which was on his cheek and stroked it gently.. His hot breath against her face sent a tingling sensation down her body and she felt relaxed immediately.. "Now, Will you come with me?" This Time she nodded.. her body answered before her mind could even process anything. She knew she wouldn't regret her actions because strangely she believed him. The mate bond worked its way.. "Thank you." Nicklaus broke into a bright smile that left her speechless for a while.. How can this man be so handsome and dangerous at the same time? Nicklaus retracted his hand and the loss of park made her frown slightly but he took her hand instead and helped her outta bed gently like he was afraid he would hurt her.. Even though Annah hasn't gotten used to the closeness between them, she didn't stop him and just let him do whatever she wants.. Nicklaus wanted to hug her and plant kisses all over her face if that was gonna ease her tensed muscle but he didn't want her to be uncomfortable.. "Can I take a shower first? I feel uncomfortable in these clothes." She asked him like she needed his opinion first and this made him smile.. "Okay I'll wait." He said and sat back down on the bed and leaned backwards the headboard.. Annah went through her bags and took out a gray sweatpants and white hoodie. She unhurriedly walked towards the bathroom leaving the man in her room... Once she was inside the bathroom she took a deep breath and touched the spot her heart was and sigh.. This was the first time her heart was beating really fast.. She heaved a tired sigh and quickly took a bath before changing into comfortable clothing and walked outta the bathroom with a towel in her hand.. She was wiping her hair while water droplets trailed down her face to her neck.. Nicklaus frowned slightly upon seeing this.. "Do you have a hairdryer?" He asked and she shook her head.. She was just a fragile little one and letting her go outside with wet hair could make her catch a cold.. "Come here." He patted the space in between his legs and she slowly walked towards him without hesitation.. He took the towel from her and dried her hair with the towel gently After making sure her hair had been wiped properly, he tossed the towel aside and grabbed hold of her again.. "Let's go." And together they walked outta her apartment and found Shea leaning against the wall lazily.. "We're leaving, get the car ready." Nicklaus informed Shea and walked hand in hand with Anna but she stopped walking and looked at him... "Yes, My love?" Shea's jaw dropped to the ground when he heard the endearment word from his Alpha, never in his life did he think this scary creature could be so sweet towards his mate.. "What about my stuff? " She asked. "You don't need any of that, I'll buy you everything you need, okay?" He saw the place was and he was sure there was nothing worthy of his precious mate.. Thinking about how she was able to stay in such a small room made his wolf fraught. "But I have some important stuff in there." She pouted her lips like a child and he found it really cute.. He couldn't help but smile at her childishness. Nicklaus held her chin and raised her head so she could stare at him . "Don't worry, Shea will get everything if that's what you want." He and Annah gave him a faint smile which didn't go unnoticed by him. This small gesture from her made his wolf side purred.. Two black cars were already waiting at the entrance of her apartment for them and Annah didn't see Caroline around.. Did she leave already? Annah gasps in surprise when he suddenly lifts her up and carries her in bridal style.. And walked towards the car. Who would believe a multi billionaire was actually treating an orphan like a princess?
