Desired By My Mate novel Chapter 3

~Avery~

I felt weak in the knees under his stare, he accessed me slowly from my head to toe and made the atmosphere more tensed than ever, from the look on his face, it could tell that he was not impressed by what he saw, my anxiety was eating me badly that I could not take it anymore.-

I was scared that I did not meet up to his standard since he was the Lycan’s son but still, I wanted him to prove me wrong, I needed him to tell me that I have been overthinking and he was blessed to have me as his mate.

He opened his mouth to finally speak and I prayed that they would not be hurtful words.

‘’Are you done cleaning?’’

Gosh, his voice could make me addicted to hearing him speak all the time.

His question startled me but then, I realized that I had just moved in so of course, I would clean up my space.

I quickly replied him with a nod, unsure of whether he liked slow responses, I did not want to annoy me.

The last thing that I needed was a mate treating me worse than Liam did.

‘’Yes, I have.’’

‘’Alright then, you can leave.’’ He dismissed me.

My feet automatically moved in his command but then, I halted in my steps when I realized what I was doing, maybe, I was so used to following orders around the pack house as a maid.

I turned back and walked to meet him, ‘’Um...’’

‘’I am sorry but I can’t do that.’’

He perked his right brow at me, ‘’And why is that?’’

Was he serious right now?

He could not be, he was not going to pretend like he does not know we are mates or even his roommate.

‘’I have been assigned this room.’’ I clarified.

The next response that I got from him broke me into tiny pieces.

He scoffed, ‘’Is this some sort of a joke? It is funny, you know.’’

He did not even refer it to me, it was as if he was hoping for someone to be there then later walk in to dismiss it as a prank.

‘’They seriously did not expect me to share my room with a beggar maid.’’ He said it out loud for me to hear.

My chest began burning and my eyes were stinging with tears when I heard that, it was not how I imagined my first meeting with my mate would turn out.

It was going to be a complete nightmare with the way, things were going and I did not like it.

‘’My name is Avery.’’ I corrected him in a low tone.

‘’And you think I care?!’’

The high tone of his voice made me flinch in fear.
