Bonds

Chapter Two

~Maya’s POV~

“What?” I blinked. I couldn’t have possibly heard him right, “You can’t be serious.”

“Do I look like I entertain jokes? Ivan will claim you during the mating ceremony. Our packs will be merged as one afterwards and so will the companies. It will become an empire, one of the greatest this world has ever known.”

I stared at him. I could see his lips moving but my ears had stopped listening.

“Amaya!” He snapped, “You know I hate it when I ask a question and do not get an immediate response.”

I shook my head, “I have agreed to get married to a man that I do not know. Letting him claim would be too much, I already have a mate.”

“Do not speak of that bastard in my presence and need I remind you of the shame you brought upon our pack after you let him use you and then reject you?”

“I reject you Amaya Stone and from this moment, you are nothing to me.”

The words echoed in my head. No matter how hard I tried, I could never forget.

My wolf had never been the same again. I was an Alpha female but the only way I would describe myself now was weak and broken.

“Please father. I do not mind the marriage but I do not wish for my wolf to be bound to anyone ever again.”

“You will do as I say. I am not asking, I am ordering you.”

I shouldn’t have been surprised. I had never experienced an ounce of love from my father, maybe that was why it was so easy for me to turn my back on them when I found someone who I thought would love me till the end of time.

Daniel Stone had always lived up to his surname. His heart was as cold as stone and whenever he looked at me; I saw it in his eyes. He wished I was a burden he didn’t have to carry.
