His Deplorable Mate by Palos Verdes (best books for 8th graders .txt) 📗

"Relax, love," Alpha Xavier whispered in my ear. A shudder ran down my body. I looked at him to see him already staring at me, with intensity.

"Isn't she looking stunning,"? Lily asked Alpha Xavier making him nod. I looked down unable to hold the intensity of his passionate gaze. We all talked for a bit, mostly the men talked, and then it was time for the engagement ceremony.

Alpha Kevin and Lily went towards the center, where a large cake was placed. Alpha Kevin took the knife and placed it in Lily's hand. Kissing her on her eyelids, they cut the cake. All this time, I could feel an intense gaze on me but, I didn't look up. After the cake eating, the couple went to the dance floor. I was looking around when a hand was placed before me. I looked up startled to see a man with brown eyes smiling at me. He was handsome, with prominent features and that sparking eyes, he can make any woman fall to her knees.

"May I have the pleasure to dance with the gorgeous lady," he said with his charming smile. Looking around, I saw Alpha Xavier was nowhere. Hesitantly, I look at his stretched hand.

"Don't worry. I don't bite... That hard," he smirked. Placing my hand in his, he leads me to the dance floor. Placing my hand on his shoulder, we started swaying to the music.

"So, what's your name, sweet cheeks," he asked making me cringe. I faked smiled at him.

"Ava," I whispered looking around. I gasped when I felt his slowly going down towards my butt. I looked at him shocked to see that he was smirking at me. I tried to push him away but, he didn't budge.

"Easy there, butterfly," he smiled, losing his death grip on my body.

"Sorry about that," he said looking behind me. I turned around a little and saw he was gazing at a girl around my age. I looked at him to saw that he was looking at her with a strange emotion. Then it clicked, he was making her jealous.

"So, who is she," I asked softly and he looked at me.

"My mate," he whispered looking at her longingly.

"She's my assistant and also a human. She doesn't feel our bond. Every day, it kills me to see her talking to her boyfriend be with him, and I couldn't do anything. I know she has feelings for me but, she's too loyal to her cheating boyfriend," he said making my eyes go wide.

Just as I was about to say something...
