His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

"Your words and actions do not match at all. But then, I never expected much from you."

Abby's face was eerily calm, though her gaze was anything but mellow. In fact, her eyes looked colder than the glaciers as they pierced Alpha James' non existent conscience. "It is not what you think, My Queen. Let me explain!" The alpha tried to smooth his way out of this mess when he realized the girl before him was emanating unadulterated fury. After all, by opening and reading a letter meant for his queen, what he did was showing blatant disrespect, and it could land him in serious trouble.

"Then what does it look like, Alpha?" Abby waved the letter, which she was still holding between her thumb and index finger, in his face.

It was so crumpled that it looked like it would tear in half, if she handled it too carelessly.

"Please forgive me, My Queen, I didn't mean to offend you." James scrambled to apologize as he fired off whatever came to his mouth, without thinking first. "I just wanted to see if it was really for you, so I opened it to take a single harmless glance."

"Then why does the paper look like it was hanging on its last thread?" Abby couldn't believe her ears. Did this man think she would eat up just whatever bullshit he fed her? "Should I spell the reason for you? Because, you couldn't bother to give a damn since it was just written to me, someone you never put in your eyes."

"No, no, My Queen. You misunderstood me. It wasn't my intention at all," James denied it with all his might. He just looked short of slapping his chest to prove he didn't have any thoughts to disrespect her. "Then why didn't you apologize before I realized what you actually did?" Abby snarked, her eyes still glaring at him. He had a good six inches on her, which made him lower his head to look into her eyes but the air around them was so tense that he found himself struggling to hold her gaze.

It was always her who had it difficult to stand tall in front of anyone in this pack, no matter the rank they held. Be it a random warrior or even an omega, no one ever thought there would come a day they had to tamper down their ego in front of someone they treated even less than air for ten years straight, let alone the alpha of this pack.

Even when he felt his beta went too far, he didn't bother to get down from his high horse and say something to stop him, always turning an blind eye to her suffering and pleading.

"Tell me, Alpha," Abby probed when he remained silent, looking anywhere but her eyes. "Shouldn't you have started this conversation with an apology over something you did recently? Like opening and reading a letter that was meant for your queen?"

"It just slipped my mind, Queen Abby," James almost retorted, as he struggled to keep his voice low. Because he didn't dare to raise his voice at Abby, who looked like she was ready to take note of every slip up he made and make him suffer for it.

"Which one?" Abby asked him suddenly.
