Chapter 3 not yours

AAAAAHHHH," I shouted immediately as my back came in contact with the machine.

The machine went crashing down and I believe my bones too.

Who the hell was that?

I angrily turned back to where I was thrown from a saw a huge and tall man glaring at me angrily. He had long hair and a? hairy face.

His eyes were red with anger and his teeth were gritted like he was ready for war.

He doesn't seem human and I've seen enough pictures of Axel to know who was glaring at me.

Shit, I had poured coffee on him.

What on earth do I do now?

"Are you mad you despicable fool?" He growled.

'No, you are the despicable fool.' I wanted to say but did not have the guts to do it.

He was calling someone a fool and he's the one looking crossbred. Oops.

"I'm sorry." I forced myself to say.

He shook his head. "You don't sound like you are." He said then walked closer to me. "But I'll make you be."

With that, he was with me in seconds. Everywhere was silent by now and our voice and movement were the only things that could be heard.

"I'm sorry!" I shouted with fright.

He bent down to my level and looked at me strangely then he did the most strangest thing ever, he smelled me.

That got me pissed and I did not know what I was doing anymore but before I could stop myself, I slapped him hard on his cheek.

But it seemed like it did not hurt him one bit but instead, I was the one who felt the pain in my hand.

His face was really hard and felt as if it was made with bricks.

He continued to stare at me but this time no anger was in his eyes and his eyes has changed from red to green and he looked straight into my eyes.

He slowly leaned closer and when his face was just inches away and if anyone moved further then we'll be kissing he voiced out, "Mate."

That was it. I lay on the floor then crawled away so we wouldn't kiss then stood up immediately.

What does he mean by mate? I've heard about the mating bond and how the wolf people claim their mates and this was what they said but I can't be his mate.

"Mate." He said again.

I shook my head. "No, you are confused. I'm your employee. Well not yet hired." I corrected hopefully he'll realize that I wasn't his mate.

I shouldn't have slapped him as I've heard just a touch can activate it. Stupid me but how was I supposed to know.

Well, this mating bond is for only the werewolves and the feeling is one-sided. I feel nothing for this despicable man who just threw me across the room minutes ago.

"You are my mate. I felt it when you slapped me." He smiled and I cringed.

"I am not your mate and I came here for a job. You just threw me across the room minutes ago and now I'm suddenly your mate? You are mistaken." I shouted.

He looked at me angrily again then turned to Alexa. "What's her name." He asked her.

"R..Rh...Rhodaaa." She stuttered as she answered.

After he got his answer, he stormed off.

Shit.

What on earth just happened right now? I came for a job interview and this happens? This was definitely not how I expected today to go.

What bad thing that could happen and could have been understandable and more reasonable was to probably get late for my interview and never get a job in my entire life or go for the interview and not get the job but instead, I find out I'm the family's enemy's mate?

And to think he literally threw me across the room a while ago and I now have back pains.

This is crazy and to think he could have not been here or probably could have comes before I came but he had to come to our small town exactly the time I wanted a job in his company.

I saw Alexa from the corner of my eyes walking towards me. Everyone was whispering amongst themselves.

Shit. Now everyone thinks I'm his mate. Couldn't he have been more discreet? Instead, he just shouted in front of everyone I was his mate.

"Are you okay?" I hear Alexa ask me and I turned to her. "If you consider boiling mad and an aching back as okay then yes I am," I replied angrily.

"Hey, take it easy," she raised her hands in surrender and I felt bad for talking to her like that.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I wasn't expecting this you know and now everyone is looking at me."

"Yeah." She glanced around and saw for herself that everyone has indeed forgotten what they were supposed to do and were gossiping about me. "Let's just go back to our seat to see who gets the job." She suggested and I nodded.

Now what I'm I going to be expecting? And how can I work here knowing I'm his mate.

Well, that is his headache but he shouldn't ruin my chance. I wonder what he needed my name for.

We went back to our seats and everyone was still looking at me. Everyone who was waiting for the job as well as I was looking at me strangely.

Today is the worst day ever.

I rested my chin in between my thumb and index finger then sighed in frustration.

"Are you okay?" Alexa asked again and I absentmindedly nodded.

Just then the blond hair woman who interviewed us walked up to us.

"Rhoda Hicks?"

After hearing my name, I got back to the present.

"Yes?"

She turned to me and with a plain face without any emotion she said, "Hi I'm Karen. Karen Montero and you got the job."

She walked away but I quickly stood up and ran after her.

"Wait," I shouted out.

She waited and when I was close she turned to me. "Yes, how may I help you?"

"Are you mad I got the job?" I asked.

"That shouldn't be any of your business and it doesn't concern our business here." She replied.

"Well, you did not even tell me when to start nor how to go about it."

"You start tomorrow and will be given a crash course then." She answered then turned to leave again.

"Why did I get the job. There were others who are more intelligent and had more potentials who could have answered your questions more honestly." I asked again.

"You're right. They have far more potentials than you and honestly, you did not answer most of the questions correctly. Sir Axel is a very violent person and very irrational, your answers don't correspond but I had no idea what you did or what he saw in you but he asked for you to be hired and everyone dismissed. Congratulations." She answered not looking at me.

Suddenly she turned to me again. "I hope you enjoy working here but you've got to work hard else you're out. Know this, you're on probation."
