HAILEE’s POV
I screamed as the Alpha carried me away.
"Let me go! You freak! Release me this instant! Where are you taking me?" I screamed but the Alpha did not care.
I had to admit that I had come here with something planned out but I had not expected it to take this turn.
Yes, I was Hailee; the true heir to the throne. Thirteen years ago, Sebastian's father murdered my father who was the Alpha at the time. He also stabbed me and chased me to end my life.
This was only because he did not like the idea of me inheriting my father's title as his only child. Beta Riley had not liked the idea of a woman ruling the pack and he clearly had his own ambitions as well. He always wanted power and he was ready to achieve that power by all means possible. His ambitions had cost my father his life and I had almost lost mine.
That night of my escape, I was found by the rogue werewolves and they were the ones who took me in. They got the poison out of me and treated me like one of their own. They trained me into the fierce woman I had become today.
The reason why we had been by the wall was all planned. This was the only way that I would have access to the pack. This was the only way I could find proof that would show the world that I was the true Alpha and not this Sebastian. I did not think he even deserved the thrown.
Who placed a lady on his shoulder and took off with her? What was he planning to do with me? I did not even know where he was taking me.
"What's wrong? Tired of yelling already?" he demanded.
"I just want to know where you're fucking taking me!" I yelled and the Alpha chuckled.
He seemed to be enjoying all of my outbursts. I assessed him. I needed to know if I could win against him in battle.
I had figured that he was 6'5 feet tall. That was just five inches taller than me. He was well built with muscles that were huge compared to my slender body. He had brown curly hair and his eyes were as dark as an empty void of darkness. He would be hard to fight but if I found his weakness, then I could beat him.
The moment he dropped me, I would attack him. But was that the best move? I needed to gain their trust and get access to the pack house. I was sure I would be able to find proof there.
He led me out of the cell and up some dark stairs. They had blindfolded us on the way in but it was pointless since I had been here as a child. There was no one who knew the ins and out of this place more than I did. There was nothing they could hide from me. The moment I gained access to the pack house, I could use all the secret passages available. I chuckled to myself.
"What is funny?" He demanded.
I rolled my eyes at him. This man was so annoying. How I wished they could let us have one-on-one combat. I bet he would not be as arrogant as he was again.
"None of your business! Why don't you pay more attention to the way forward?" I spat.
I knew I did not have to be rude if I wanted to gain their trust but I cloud not help myself. I wanted to keep attacking this Sebastian and give him a piece of my mind.
Eventually, we stepped out of the building. Guards were waiting outside and they bowed after seeing him. I could do nothing so I remained helplessly on his shoulder.
He took me to the front and I realized that he was taking me inside the pack house. It had always been like a palace and it had many rooms.
This meant that he was making my job even easier. If he was bringing me inside, then he probably wanted to keep me here.
Maids and guards stared at us as we passed them. Some even pointed at me. It was quite an embarrassing position.
But at what cost? What was he going to make me do?
I remembered the way he gazed at me when I was still in the cell. There was so much interest in them. Was he after my body?!
I gasped and swallowed it immediately. I hoped that he had not noticed it. He could not be after my body because I already had a boyfriend.
Dolph Job was a rogue too. I met him while growing up and training together. We had fallen in love and we were inseparable. I remembered the way he made butterflies take flight whenever he was close. I remembered the kisses we stole in the darkness when no one was watching. I remembered the way he touched me. He made me feel special.
This was the first time we had been separated. Job had made me promise him that in this fight for my birthright; I would not forget him. This had always been his treated fear. That is up forget him when I became Alpha but I promised him that I would not.
So he said that I should promise to become his mate when I succeeded. It was something I wanted too. So it was easy to make this promise to him. After all this was over, Dolph and I would be together again.
I smiled at the thought.
I shrugged the thoughts away and tried to pay attention to wherever Sebastian was taking me. He was so irritating honestly.
"Have you fallen asleep little warrior?" he demanded.
I froze. My heart sank deeper into my ribcage. My eyes went wide with shock. My breathing increased.
He had referred to me as a little warrior.
The only person to have referred to me as a little warrior was my father and he was dead. This Sebastian had succeeded in reminding me of my father at this time.
I felt my eyes well up with tears. I tried to avoid them but they slowed freely down anyway. I wiped the tears away quickly and fought hard to recover. I could not let this Sebastian see me crying.
He pushed a door open and walked in. The place was empty. He dropped me and I flinched away from him immediately.
"What do you want from me?" I demanded. "Why did you bring me here?"
Sebastian smiled. He had an expression that resembled amusement and excitement. He was enjoying my current dilemma.
He started approaching me slowly. I noticed this and I started to retreat. This did not discourage him. He kept coming at me.
"What are you doing?" I demanded.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" He answered my question with a question. I figured this was payback for how I had treated him.
He kept approaching me. He locked his dark gaze with mine. I suddenly felt the room getting hotter. My wolf stirred uncomfortably within me. My breathing increased and I felt my heart pounding. His gaze was affecting me. I felt as if he could see into my soul. His dark eyes bored into mine and I thought I was going to lose my mind.
"What's wrong? You have nothing to say? No remark to make?" Sebastian shot at me.
I was beginning to sweat all over. His aura was affecting me. I did not know what he was doing to me. I could not pinpoint it.
I ran out of space to retreat to. My back hit the wall. Sebastian kept coming until he blocked out my escape. He towered above me and I felt left at his mercy.
"Get away from me," I managed to say but my voice did not come out as I wanted it to. It sounded weak.
"What will you do if I don't?" he asked with a smirk.
Not long again, the odds were in my favor and I was the one smirking. Now the odds were against me and I had to fight for myself.
"I'll find a way to hurt you," I whispered.
Sebastian brought his hand to my chin. I wanted to flinch away. I wanted to move but I could not. He raised my chin so that I stared up at him.
Sebastian bent over and stopped just inches away from my lips. "How will you do that when you're at my mercy?" He whispered.
I let out a shaky breath and I cursed myself for letting it escape. Sebastian's eyes further darkened. I could see the lust in his eyes. He was ready to take advantage of me.
Suddenly, the door came up. From the corner of my eyes, I saw a thick short woman gasp before looking away.
"Apologies my lord, should I come back some other time?" she asked in a noisy voice.
Sebastian did not even flinch at the intrusion. He released me and gave me some distance. There was an evil smile on his face.
"Please, don't," he answered.
She closed the door behind herself and approached him. "Why did you send for me?" She asked.
"I brought you a new maid. Train her in the right ways to serve me," he announced.
I glared at him in shock. He wanted to make me his little toy!
"Never! I'll never serve you!" I exclaimed.
The woman swiftly closed the distance between us and landed a hard slap on my face. I glared up at her in shock.
"Learn to respect your superiors. Especially your Alpha," she spat.
"He's not my Alpha!" I exclaimed and gritted my teeth.
"Well I am now, you better get used to having me around. I'm sure you'll learn to love me," he chirped and walked out of the room.
HAILEE. I growled in anger as I watched him walk towards the doorway but my anger was quickly cut short. "You dare not growl at your superior. Have you lost your senses?!" Her eyes burned, her jaws tightening. I rolled my eyes at her, crossing my hands but that's when it happened. The slap from the woman had me cradling my burning cheek in pain. I was shocked at her sudden reaction, and all I could do was stare at her in pure hate, wanting to strike her back. But I remembered why I was here- the reclaim the throne which rightfully mine. Retaliating would not only get the Alpha raging, but I might find myself behind the bars again, ultimately thwarting the plan to gather the needed evidence against him and strike while the rod was hot. I needed to take my time, play the good girl and watch how things would turn out from there on. "Get out of my sight, you insolent can't!" She kept hurling vile words at me and I knew I had to leave. "Excuse me," I growled, hurrying to the bathroom.
SEBASTIAN."Don't kill her! Don't try it." My wolf yelled from within, obviously worried at the rage that had engulfed me. I couldn't think clearly and wanted to kill her. Her audacity infuriated me the most. She thought she was sleek, that she could do what she wanted and get away with it. The image of my dead guards found its way back to my mind, angering me the more. How she had managed to kill some of my finest guards on her own was something I couldn't fathom, but I was going to make her pay until the last guard there was avenged. I growled in anger as my wolf began to tug relentlessly in a bid to take over and stop me from killing her. The pain stopped me immediately and I let go of her neck before grabbing her up roughly, hurling her across my shoulder. "Stay back and watch. We need to make sure she didn't contact her Kind while on the run. The rest of you, gather the dead guard and have their bodies readied. They will be burnt tonight." I commanded the guards before I star
HAILEE.I woke up the next day feeling a bit better but every part of my body screamed with soreness. The pain from the punishment still lingered, and I knew he would gladly punish me more and more if given the chance. I even began to wonder why I had done it, why I had even thought of running when I knew there was no way I could escape him. B-but I was on the verge of escaping, I was almost there when he caught up. The fight with the guards, crashing face first, the punishment, and Mrs. Aria exiting the room. The memories all came crashing back. I wondered why she had suddenly turned kind. It surprised me because she hadn't been that way when we first met. I couldn't fathom her intentions but I was ready to observe and find out what her intentions were. I groaned, lifting myself from the bed with a lot of effort. The sun was already shining through the curtains. Sitting up and looking around the room, I began to remember even more clearly the chain of events that had led to my f
SEBASTIAN. "I hate you, you're a snake! A liar! A cheat!! You have ruined everything we have had just because of this bastard slut!" I stared down at Clara who raved and pushed and cursed. She was heartbroken when she entered the room, after a very pleasurable bout with the rogue girl. She was in one corner of the room, crying her eyes out. Clara continued the curses but her words barely registered as I slid on my pants. Yes, I had betrayed her, there was no way I could deny it. But I simply couldn't resist. Ever since I had stripped her and whipped her at the dungeon, I had been searching for a way to have a taste of the beauty, and that was the only time possible considering she was vulnerable and owed me an apology for trying to kill me. And fuck, she was tight! A smack across my chest brought me back to the present. Clara was still ranting. "Hey, honey." I said, cupping both sides of her tear-filled face. "It's okay. We will get through this together. I did my best but she
I caught myself staring at the distance a second time. I threw my head back on the seat and let out a very long sigh, wiping off the perspiration that had gathered on my forehead.I was sitting in my office going through the endless pile of documents that needed my signature, my mind kept drifting back to Hailee. I couldn't help but think about her constantly. The thought of losing her to another man scared me more than anything else. She used to be the Alpha of our pack, before the Pixen Pack had her. I still remembered the day she went on that mission with the other rogues like it was yesterday, and never came back. I was so worried about her. I paced back and forth in my office, unable to focus on anything else until I heard news of her safety. When I finally received the news that she had been found and rescued, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.But now, as I sat in my office going through the pile of documents, I couldn't help but feel exhausted. My eyes fe
As I turned to walk down the passageway, I was interrupted by Michael. "Alpha, we have another problem," he said, his voice tense."What is it?" I asked, already sensing that something was wrong."Rogues have been spotted at the borders again," Michael said. "We sent a group to check them out and they are still on their way. ."My anger flared at the news and the audacity of these rogues. The audacity to keep creeping back even after their kind had been arrested and dealt with. "Gather the Warriors," I said, my voice cold and commanding. "We'll search every inch of the borders until we find them."Michael nodded and hurried off to carry out my orders. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I knew that I needed to be careful not to let my emotions get the better of me. I couldn't afford to make any mistakes if I wanted to keep my pack safe.As I walked down the passageway, my thoughts were consumed by the young rogue girl I had just handed over to the woman. I wondered if sh
I was still in pain and recovering from the torture Sebastian had inflicted on me. The slightest movement caused me to wince in pain. I knew that I had to be patient and allow myself to heal, but little did I know that another pain was coming my way.Clara came into my room, looking even angrier than the last time we spoke. She grabbed me by the hair, and before I could even react, she slammed my head against the wall. My head spun, and I felt like I was going to pass out. But Clara wasn't done yet.She started hitting me so hard that I couldn't even defend myself. Each blow felt like a hammer hitting me. I tried to scream, but the pain was too much. I couldn't understand why Clara was doing this to me. I knew that we had our disagreements, but this was too much.Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. The anger inside me boiled over, and I hit her back. I didn't even realize what I was doing until I saw the blood gushing out of her nose. Clara fainted at the spot, and I didn't know what
The death of our members had made me very angry. I was frustrated and wanted revenge, but I knew I couldn't attack without Hailee's consent. She was still missing, and we didn't know where she was. I didn't know what to do; I felt powerless.The pack members were questioning me, and I couldn't give them any answers. They were angry, and their emotions were boiling over. It was difficult to control them, and I didn't know how to make them understand that I was trying my best to find Hailee.It wasn't long before I was summoned by the council so I could explain what was going on. The council members sat sternly as I walked in, their expressions grave. I could feel the tension in the air as I took a seat in front of them."Dolph, we summoned you here today to discuss the situation with the Pixen Pack," the head council member began. "We have lost many of our warriors, and we demand to know what you are doing to find Hailee and bring her back.""I understand your frustration," I replied,
