Hey again guys, I would just like to send a huge thank you to everyone for their amazing feedback, comments and for actually reading me! You have no idea how much it actually means to me, so THANK YOU!!! Here's chapter three, and I really tried to make it as long as I could but it's a bit harder than I thought, I end up running out of creativity nearing the end. So I apologize if it's not the desired length. Enjoy :)

All Christian could do was sit back in shock. What happened only seconds ago was starting to register in his mind, so he stood up so fast he nearly knocked over the table in front of him. He whipped around the couch and out the door he just watched Odette storm out of. He was now speed walking towards Odette's room.
When he reached her doors he threw them open with such force it bounced off the wall.
"Odette!" He roared into the room.
Out of the bathroom attached to Odette's room, came Odette, pissed off and storming right towards Christian.
"Get out now." She said calmly, but her tone was crisp and full of anger.
"No, I think you need to apologize for that smack across the face I don't think I deserved." He replied.
At this, Odette raised her hand again, but Christian caught it with ease.
"Tell me you're sorry, or I'll take you over my knee Odette, I am not above punishing your ass for disobedience." He stated, while gripping her wrist in a vice. He reached for her other wrist and kept both of them within the grasp of one of his hands. He used his other to turn her around so her back was to his front. Christian used this to his advantage and forced Odette onto her stomach.
"Get the fuck off me, or I'll remove you myself!" She screamed at him, he was starting to hurt her arms.
"Say it!" he yelled.
Odette then kicked out at him and managed to get him in the leg, which made him loosen his hold on her arms. She turned around and smacked him yet again across the same cheek as before.
"Screw you Christian, I don't deserve this shit, I've worked hard for my position in this pack, and you're about to throw it all away for some fucking alliance! You don't give a shit about me or my place, you just want to appear better to everyone else, well guess what Chris, You're a real shitty leader." She finished.
She turned around and started walking towards the bathroom again, when suddenly arms were whipping her around to face this huge man. She let out a gasp, but it was muffled by Christian's mouth. Her eyes went huge, and she went completely still in his arms. He started moving his mouth against hers, trying to get her to open up. He nibbled on her bottom lip, and Odette let out a small sigh and finally gave in to the kiss.
Sighing himself, Christian easily slid his hands right under her ass and lifted her so her legs were around his waist. With her in his arms he went to put her back up against the wall, all the while still kissing her with such passion Odette was curling her toes. Odette let out a muffled half moan half cry and tightened her hold on his hips. Reacting to this movement, Christian rubbed his groin right into her centre. This brought Odette back to reality.
She pushed her hands at his shoulders, unwrapped her legs from Around Christians waist and slid her feet to the ground.
"Why Christian?"
*******************************
Andrew Cullen walked through his bedroom doors, only to be stopped in his tracks by the sight before him.
A red head and a blonde were on the bed naked and enjoying each other, almost oblivious to Andrews entrance.
"Rita, Chantelle get out. I'm soon to be mated, and I don't want to fool around right before she gets here." He sighed at their behaviour. Both females were hoping to be chosen as Andrews mate, and with the recent news of his mating proposal for another pack, they were rather disappointed and desperate. Every chance they got they tried to get him to change his mind. This was just another failed attempt.
Rita got up and off the bed, strolled towards Andrew and put her fingers up and around his neck.
"Baby, why don't you come and join me and Chantelle on the bed, have some fun." She practically purred.
"No thanks Rita, I would've thought you would've given up by now, and realized I'm not interested and I never will be. Soon enough you'll have to bow down and pay respects to the Alpha bitch, so get used to getting rejected more often."
"I don't bow down to anyone, and especially not some disgusting freak like Odette, don't expect anything from me Andrew, when she walks through those doors I will challenge her for the position of Alpha bitch and I WILL win." Her voice went from soft and sensual to cold and bitchy.
Andrew grabbed a fistful of her hair and whispered into her ear, "Watch your tongue when talking about my mate Rita, if you want to remain a part of this pack you'll shut your mouth." He then let go of her hair.
Both girls got up put on robes and walked out the doors. Andrew went right behind them, closed the doors and locked them. Finally, he thought, some peace and quiet.
"Only a matter of time Odette, before you're mine." He spoke to no one in particular.
Andrew was a bit late in choosing a mate, and figured it was destiny when he bumped into the gorgeous raven haired were that night. Even in the dark he knew she was breath taking, he couldn't wait to see her without the wetness and cold and in some light.
Soon enough, he thought.
*******************************
"Why what?" Christian asked.
"Why would you send me away to mate with someone I don't even know, and then do something like this?" She said, waving her hands at the space between them.
"I don't know, I- I have no idea . . ." He trailed off.
"Just get out, I think you've complicated things enough already." She said
"Odette, don't cut me off now. Not after what just happened, I think we should sit down and talk about this. Because if you're feeling what I'm feeling, then there's something we've been missing all this time." He said and then let out a shaky breath.
"It doesn't matter now does it Christian? You've sentenced me away from this pack, this is almost worse than arranged marriage. No, this IS arranged marriage! There's nothing you can change about that now, so suck it up and get the fuck out." She said, the anger returning again.
Christian knew what she was saying was right. This mating had to work, if it didn't it could start a war between the two different packs. This mating was to create an alliance, not a war. If he took it back now, who knows what could happen, and how Andrew would react.
The meeting tomorrows that was set up between Odette and Andrew was just that, a meeting. To get to know each other, the plans for the mating would be done after they are better acquainted. The pack that Andrew was from was on equal level with Christians. Meaning they had a similar number of members, and equal strength, making an alliance a benefit for both. Messing that up would not bode well.
Christian lowered his head in a nod, and then turned around, walked out and shut the door quietly.
When the door clicked closed, Odette sank down to her knees and started to let the tears fall silently down her cheeks.
Why NOW?! Why did all of this have to happen so fast? I'm expected to go off and meet with someone who wants me as a mate, and then all these feelings for Christian came out of left field. God I'm messed up. She thought sadly.
She pulled herself together enough to get from the floor to the bed. She didn't bother to take off any clothes, just passed out on top of the covers.
The next morning Odette woke up with a headache, and a sore arm. Everything came flooding back to her, and she regretted even opening her eyes.
Today's the day that will change my life, she thought with a bitter laugh.
She got up and walked towards her closet, pulled out a pair of shorts and a tank top. Putting them on, she heard her phone ring off in the background. Screw it, she thought, they can leave a voicemail. She put on her running shoes and went out her door.
Getting to the main floor, she noticed a lot of stares and odd looks from a lot of the pack that was up already. Hmm, they must've heard the news.
Because the mansion was on a coupe acres of forest and land, the backyard was her play ground. It was perfect for running and exploring, so it never failed to make Odette feel a little better.
She stopped, took off the cap of her bottle of water that she grabbed while in the kitchen, and took a sip. When she was done she threw it on the ground and started stretching.
While she was in mid-stretch a couple of guys from the pack approached her and started talking quietly until they got a little bit closer. Odette knew these guys pretty well; she saw them around enough to know their names and what their strengths are.
"Hey O, we all heard about the news. We were not only a bit taken back, but disappointed too. I was hoping we could get it on before something like this happened, it's a shame really." One of them spoke up, his name is Trevor. All the while grinning like an idiot, all of the guys started laughing.
