Mated To Alpha Gregory

Adam’s POV;

With the wedding being just two days away, my anxiety increased as I felt that I was making a mistake.

While I wanted her to know that she was mine and to show her off to the world as my mate, I also felt that it was too soon to spring it on her after everything she had gone through at the hands of Raider and Cassandra.

I knew that she was scared under the facade of indifference, but I was ready to show her that she could be loved and protected.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you think buddy?” I asked Ted, my wolf, and he growled.

“Can’t wait to have her.”

I exhaled deeply. It wasn’t like I was expecting him to agree with me anyway.

I pushed him out of my head as I decided to focus on the work at hand.

A lot of money was missing from the pack’s treasury, a lot that I wondered how that happened right under my nose.

I had to quickly speak to Ronan, if possible, before the dinner.

I had asked Lilith to a dinner date earlier as a way to get closer to each other and, just as before, she said yes without giving it a thought. I still couldn’t shake off the thought that the wedding was a mistake.

I just wished she’d open up to me. Or she’d show some sort of emotion. It was as if she had built an invisible wall of concrete over her and I wondered if I was ever going to be able to break that.

Cara had told me earlier that she had gone into the kitchen to prepare some meals and I wondered if that meant something, but I was glad nonetheless.

I continued to scan through the documents and sighed as I realized what was happening. I groaned and dropped the file as I took my phone and sent a quick text to my assistant. I told him to pick up the dress and jewelry I had ordered for Lilith that morning.

She was treating me to dinner and the least I could do was to buy her a dress.

Half an hour later, my assistant arrived with the dress and I walked briskly to her room as I wanted to give it to her myself.

I was about to head up the stairs to her bedroom when I saw her walking out of the kitchen. Her lips were pursed in a thin line, and she looked peaceful and angelic.

“Hey there,” I smiled as I walked towards her, resisting the urge to wrap my arms around her.

She tensed up as soon as she saw me and then quickly regained her composure as she muttered what sounded like a greeting.

“Here, take this,” I placed the package containing the dress and jewelry in her hand.

I winked at her, but she stared right back at me, no emotion whatsoever in her eyes.

She subconsciously licked her dry lips. The beautiful sight caught my attention and I had the urge to pull her closer and attack both her neck and lips with kisses.

My urge was getting stronger, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to control myself if I stood there for long. So I placed my hands on her shoulder and turned her around as I stood beside her.

I leaned down to whisper in her ear, but my lips accidentally grazed her neck and felt her shiver against me.

I pulled away quickly, surprised and glad that I was finally able to get a reaction from her.

At first, she stood rooted to the spot, but then she began to walk towards her bedroom without a word, and it was then I realized what I wanted to say to her.

“Meet me at the lake by 7, baby!” I called after her and grinned widely.

“You can’t run away from me, cupcake. You’re mine,” I growled in a low voice as I turned to leave. Ted growled in affirmation too.

I walked briskly to my bedroom in a bid to prepare for my first date night with my woman. After trying out a few outfits, I ended up settling for a gray shirt and black slacks.

By 7 pm, I was already by the lake. I had instructed the head maid to set the table with all the meals Lilith had prepared and as I sat there waiting for her, their mouth-watering aroma wafted into my sensitive nostrils and I could tell that she had done some magic.

Just as I kept salivating and gushing about how I couldn’t wait to taste the meal, my eyes landed on her and my Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as my eyes were fixed on her.

She was dressed in an elegant dark red strapless bodycon dress that hugged her body like a second skin, accentuating her curves. She was walking towards me and with each step she took, my heart raced faster, and I stood up immediately.

The necklace she wore had a small diamond pendant that shone on her neck and with each step she took, her wavy black hair seemed to bounce.

I wasn’t salivating about the food anymore. I didn’t want it anymore. All I wanted was her.

“Your Highness,” She murmured as she bowed slowly.

“You’ve captured my heart,” I confessed as my heart rate sped up.

She averted her gaze, fixing her eyes on the roses I had kept on the table.

“I don’t know which flowers you like, so I got you this one.”

“Thank you, I like it,” there was no emotion in her voice, and I had a feeling that she was lying, but I said nothing, not wanting the dinner to be awkward.

“You’re beautiful, cupcake.”

She licked her glossy lips and my eyes followed that simple action as I imagined it was my tongue sliding against that tasty luscious flesh and tasting her instead.

I quickly regained my composure before she noticed me looking at her lips and I pulled out a chair for her.

She sat down, and I rounded the table and sat down opposite hers.

It was a candlelit dinner with a hint of romantic decorations as I wanted to show her how much I loved her and hoped that she’d open up her heart to me.

As soon as we sat down, the maid that had been standing at a distance quickly ran to us and began to dish the first course for the night before she returned to where she had been standing.

It was just as I had imagined. She wasn’t just beautiful, but she was also a great cook!

“If I didn’t already love you, the taste of this meal would have made me.”

I saw her cheeks heat up and a spark in her eyes briefly before going back to her normal expression as she quickly returned her attention to the .

I reached across the table for her free hand and placed my palm on hers.

“I love you Lilith, but I’m willing to wait until you’re ready. I don’t want you feeling pressured into it–”

“No!” She blurted out immediately and then sighed as she turned her gaze away. “Let’s do it. The marriage.”

“Because I asked you?”

“Because it’s for the best,” her words broke my heart and I gulped down the glass of water in front of me hurriedly.

“You don’t feel anything for me.” It was a statement, rather than a question, and her lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but she clamped them shut and said nothing.

“Say something!” I yelled, and she popped up her head immediately to glance at me.

I was breathing heavily now as I realized that I had just shouted at her.

Still, her face was still expressionless as she stared at me.

“What do you want me to say?” She suddenly startled me with her voice.

“Lilith, I understand that you’ve been hurt and betrayed, and trusting people is something that is near impossible at the moment, but, cupcake, I want you to trust me and I don’t want you to feel pressured into doing something you’re not ready for,” I noticed that she had pulled her hand away from mine.

“I’ll marry you,” she simply said as she continued eating.

I decided that it was time to tell her about my plan and how I intended to punish the people who hurt her.

“Uhm, Lilith,” she glanced up at me.

“I don’t know how you’re going to take this but. About the wedding. I have invited Raider and Cassandra–”

I glanced at her, noting how her face contorted, and her lips curled into a frown as soon as she heard their names.

“I know it’s–”

Suddenly, she stood and bowed. “Thank you for the meal, your highness.” There was no emotion whatsoever on her face as she walked away.

You annoyed her!
