His Arrogant Human Mate novel Chapter 8

I glanced at Alfie, who wasn't paying attention. Andrew was saying something to him, and Alf had a bright blush on his face. Of course, the one time I really needed my friend, he was being charmed by the King's first man.

"Um... I don't know. I guess I'd like to live on the coast someday," I mumbled.

"Convenient. My home is less than an hour from the coast," he said. "Won't that be nice?"

My eyes narrowed suspiciously. What was he up to? "Sire, are you saying that your selected mate is the human girl?" A higher ranking father in the pack quizzed. His daughter was sitting beside him. And I recognized her immediately. She was the one flinging herself at him constantly. She was beautiful, strong, the perfect mate.

And she was my ticket to freedom.

"No, of course not," I answered for him, before looking at the girl. "He wouldn't give me a second glance if our places were switched. You're created to be the perfect mate."

"Kara," Dominic said warningly.

I looked at him. "No. You know I'm right. Look at her. I may be human, but I at least know who the best option is. I'm almost eighteen, I've spent ten years here. I know stuff. Not a lot, but enough. I mean, I don't swing that way, but she's perfect."

Dominic's fist slammed onto the table, making me jump and shut up. "You're dismissed, Caroline," he snapped.

I forced back my grin as I pushed away from the table and practically skipped back inside the house, and up to my room.

"What game are you playing?" Dominic grumbled when he came into my room an hour later.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I replied, crossing my ankles in the air as I scrolled through my computer boredly.

He roughly shut the screen in my face. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You were right, Alice is beautiful. But she is not the one I want to select. If she was, she would have been sitting beside me at dinner."

I rolled my eyes. "But you shouldn't pick anyone else."

Dominic chuckled darkly. "You're coming home with me tomorrow. Your Alpha has confirmed my request to teach you the ways of living with our kind and my request to hire you. Better start packing, sugar. You're mine now."

My knees shook as I watched my bags of clothing and belongings get stacked inside Dominic's car. Dominic was saying his last goodbyes to his females, promising that he might come back in a few weeks if he still hadn't found a mate. He was paying extra attention to one girl, in particular, his hand on the curve of his waist with his lips pressed to her ear. She kept blushing and giggling, one of her hands digging her perfectly manicured nails into his bicep.

Alfie and Andrew and the rest of his pack that had come were already in their car and driving away, leaving me with the stupid dickwad.

At least I'd have Alfie when we got to Dominic's pack. I mean, when he wasn't busy getting shagged, but still. He'd be near as I went through the hell that would be working for Dominic.

I didn't want to go. I really didn't. I wanted to make a run for it, but Dominic had kindly instructed a couple guys my age to stand and watch me while he finished up the last few things.

"Our pack really could've used the PR of having him choose one of our girls," the one on my left said.

I looked up at him with a small smile. "I can fix that."
