(Kennedy POV)
She flinched on hearing my voice, then followed my voice as she turned to look at me, then surprise filled her face which later turned to a quiet smile, but to me it's was not bright enough, the smile was just little compared to the one she gave to that boy, it's was like a mocking smile that says I can't make my woman smile but another man can.
She stood up to come to my side but I didn't allow her because I am already rushing in, I pushed the door open with a strength I didn't control, my anger already uncontrolled as I strolled angrily to her, but who knew the boy would stand in front of her as he shed her from him, which made my wolf more angry as he growls inside.
“Alina,” I growled her name, “Come here.” My voice sounded calm but everyone could see the boiling anger in my eyes and the aura I am emitting.
“Who are you to Alina? Besides, you can't just come in here and just order her to go with you.” The pretty boy said, still protectively protecting my mate.
I smirked, “Haha! Good, Good! It's been a long time since I have been challenged. Get your fuckin hand off my mate, now!”
Everyone in the shop looked shaken by the roar, especially the boy. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at me then back at the dazed Alina, then he smiled awkwardly as he scratched his head after coming to a realization.
“Oh! So..sorry, I never knew she has a mate. But it's still wrong to act this way, she is a woman and besides it there is anything, you can just be gentle with her. And, Alina didn't tell us she has a mate.” He then turned to the dazed Alina as he put his hands on her shoulder, then asked gently, “Hey Alina, Is he truly your mate?”
I looked at both of them and a sore and painful feeling overwhelmed me. Looking at them, they looked more of a couple than I was with her. I looked at the hand on her shoulders and I felt like chopping it off.
“Remove your hands, boy! I don't want to repeat myself!” I ordered, but it was Alina who immediately shifted away from his hands after hearing me, and that alone reduced my anger a bit.
Then she looked at the man and smiled as she looked at me, then back at the boy then hesitatingly nodded her head, like she didn't want to admit it and was forced.
“What is going on here?!” A voice interrupted me as I was about to say something which annoys me.
“Oh, my! Alpha! Al-alpha Ken-n-Kenedy!”
I looked at the person who recognized me, and it's turns out to be a woman on an apron, seems she is the owner of this bakery but I don't know her.
“What?! Mum, what do you mean?!” The boy turned to the woman, then looked at me in disbelief, then whispered yells to his mother as he had called her. “What do you mean?! Is he truly the Alpha Kennedy? Darn it!”
I could hear his whispers clearly but that was none of my business. I ignored the shocked people in the shop and the owner who had bowed quickly and also dragged her son who also bowed, but who cares?! My eyes were on my little mate whose head was turned to the side like she was ignoring me and her eyes were looking at the boy, making me more jealous and angry.
“Let's go!” I ordered but she shook her head, making me frown.
She then uses her hand in sign language which I don't understand and makes me wonder when she learned that.
“She said she still has things to do here, and you can go as she would meet you at the house later,” The boy translated, which made Alina’s eyes light up as she looked at him with worship.
I knew if I stayed here for a minute more, my rage will make me destroy this place. She is his! She should smile at only him and only him should understand his woman!
Then I took actions, “Let's go!” I said as I took her hand in mine dragging her away from the place which had managed to anger me so much.
I ignored her struggles and walked out of the shop, and I could see the boy’s mother stopping him from following me.
I dragged-walk her, as she still insisted on staying while also whimpering in disagreement, but I wouldn't allow her to back!
On getting home, I didn't bother with the greetings of the maids as I dragged her into the room then locked it so as to allow her escape not.
She stood angrily in front of me with clenched fist. Her anger was so obvious and I went speechless. How can I coerce my mate?
“Are you really angry? I think I am the one who ought to be angry right? The night before I left, you got me so angry, and I remember telling you I would be back the next day but you didn't worry at all when I didn't come back like I promised but you were with that boy, laughing and smiling!” I said as I looked at the girl who looked guilty but then frown as she took her notebook then wrote furiously with her pen, then showed me.
“What business do I have with you? Besides I can talk and smile with anybody of my choice! I hate being controlled.”
I fling the book angrily after reading it, “What do you mean you hate being controlled and what business I have with you?” I said then sighed tiredly, “Alina, You are my mate, My woman! Do you know how it's feels rushing back home to see your woman but found out she is not home, then without resting rushed to look for her but found her laughing and smiling with a guy, with the guy touching her cheeks?” I burst out, which made her frown then she bent down and took the book I had fling then wrote down something.
I read it, “Are you jealous? But, I already told you I don't need a mate! We can break the bond, I am thankful for you saving me, and the care you had given but I can't open my heart again, I don't want a mate!”
My brain snapped, my heart clenched, she- did she just said she want to break the mate bond?! A bond I cherish is something she want to break? So it's nothing to her? Then—
If I mark her and make her mine, she won't leave me right? She won't leave me, she won't leave—
