SIX
The awakening of my body was taking longer than usual and was taking a toll on my mental soundness. My eardrums could only pick up the faint sound of a slow beep and muffled voices. Somehow, I knew where I was and felt as if I was awake and my brain felt more awake than ever as if I had taken a full gallon of coffee.But my body felt heavy while my mind felt light and fit. Why was I being held down and not able to move a single muscle but just hear the sounds around me as muffled voices? My eyelids felt heavy and even though I preferred it more when my eyes were closed, I needed to open my eyes because it felt like I was slowly dying. I could not feel Sasha or her constant nagging; I was on pause.Was I dying?Dying?Death?That word raged through my awakened mind until it finally hit the right chord. As if my body had now decided to accept my brain's commands, it woke up. I had never felt more tormented than when memories of my parents flashed through my head, being played back and forth. How much I wished that my body was back in exile.Everything felt disorderly when my eyes snapped open and my throat mustered a high-pitched scream that echoed throughout the surroundings and enough to leave my throat, dry and hoarse.My body shook as those eyes played back in my mind and I immediately went on and snapped the IV cables that were connecting me to machines off of me and jumped off of the single bed. My legs took longer to find the perfect stability and only to make matters worse; I was still shaking.I wanted to reach the door, leave this place but my head was not in the game and my vision was blurred from the tears that were still rolling down. I finally saw the door after scanning the little white room with medical equipment. A dawn of hope settled on me, I did not know where I was but if I was not with my parents then I wanted to leave as fast as I could.I was still crying heavily and shaking when a big pair of arms wrapped around me and I could no longer see the door but a black shirt. My face was closely pressed against a hard chest, my arms rested around the person's torso taking in the little comfort I would be offered. The tears only rolled down harder as a hand petted my hair and combed through it- a gesture that reminded me of my father."That's enough!" A deep voice vibrated through the room and my body came to a halt, wanting to adhere to the commands of the voice.The arms were no longer around me and I could no longer feel the heat radiating off of the man that had held me in his arms. My eyes opened and I wiped away the tears that were clogging my sight. I finally got the chance to scan the little room with machines placed in the corner with other equipment. I spotted a window in the left corner of the room and wished I had gotten to the door when I saw it again.My teary eyes finally settled down on the three males in the room. One of the men looked shrimp and had a white coat over his cashmere sweater and black trousers, I guessed he was the doctor. I scrunched up my face when I saw another man in a black shirt and khakis, he had his face downwards as if he was a puppy who had been scolded and was whimpering.My throat felt dry and the pit of my stomach churned when I caught those hazel eyes. I wanted to look into those eyes and let them stare down at me even though they were the sore purpose of my nightmares. His face was void of any emotion as he stared back at me with a piercing gaze, his entire composure was rigid and demanded so much power, respect and to be noticed. It was like a force of attraction: a moth drawn to a flame that would burn it.His eyes speckled with a silver in them but it disappeared just as soon as I had seen it. My wolf was awake and as if she had been turned off because she was void of something or someone; her emotions and excitement had now filled up my whole body. I took in a long waft of his forest and cologne-tainted scent.I felt a huge lump within my throat and a son that I was holding in was about to be unleashed. I knew who this dangerous and power-driven man in front of me was...The ALPHA..."MINE!" A wild growl swallowed the room and the tingles at the pit of my stomach erupted in a feeling of pleasure.In a single second, his tall and large form was in front of me sending me tingles of his body heat and high voluminous amounts of his scent. His arms were around me and I sighed contentedly. I felt sick that I found pleasure in his comfort and that I was dwelling so much on the tingles that were curling up through my body and the close contact of his body against mine.I wanted to wrap my arms around him and hold his face in my hands and feel the feel of his lips on mine. I wanted him to tell me that it was okay and that it was all a nightmare and I would soon wake up.But it was not...He was my mate....a mate that had killed my parents. I could not picture myself with the one that was responsible for my parent's untimely deaths. Why mother luna????I pushed his arms off of me and stepped away from him while shaking and the tears rolled down my face. I shook my head and stared at him, his face had the most stoic expression I had ever seen and I whimpered."Take her away!" His voice commanded and a pair of arms had me surrounded and I tried to fight my way out of them but his hold only grew tighter as the man led me out of the little room and deep into the hallways.Corner and corner, my eyes only scanned through the well decorated and carpeted hallways that had a mixture of a modern and medieval theme. The scent of the place slowly started to change as we descended on stairs that seemed like they were going underground.I finally got the picture when the man opened a cell and pushed me inside before locking it up. He stared at me and shook his head in pity before leaving...What could I have possibly done to the Alpha for him to lock me up after he killed my parents?SEVENI looked at my hands and felt waves of emotion hit back and forth that the little cell felt too small like a small shoe box. Among the sad emotions, disgust was also vivid. I could not stand being in my own body anymore, my hair was mated to my body with sweat and my forehead and other parts of my body still had splotches of blood; some of it was mine, most of it for the other wolves I killed and the other.....My mother's blood was still on me. I wanted to wash it all away, that dreadful day, meeting him and losing the two most important in my life. I was too young to be going through all this trauma, I was an adult but I was still as young as a little pup in the eyes of my parents and now I could no longer look into their eyes and see their emotions.....because of him.I tried to tie up my dirty hair into a bun but I failed miserably because I was tired and starving. I did not know for how long I had been in this little kinky and dirty cell but I could guess about four to five
EIGHTOne last pull of fuel from the tank and I would make it out of this hell!I was running not because I felt like my life depended on it but I was running because my life actually depended on it, if I could not make a run out of this place only God knows what he would do to me. I could not risk getting caught especially now that I could feel them trailing behind me, I was still in their territory but if I made it out maybe I could survive though they would still be on the chase for me.He would not stop hunting for me especially since I am his mate but making it out of his territory would surely give me an advantage. I was in between a rock and a hard place especially since I did not want to go back to my pack and endanger the whole Cruelcrown pack, I could not do that adding to more problems since the Blazepelt Pack had already pulled an attack on the pack just a week ago. I would not be selfish. I did not even know what state my pack was in and it made it worse that I could not
NINE"Can I at least have a bottle of your strongest wine before you throw me back in that shit hole?" I kept on conversing with them even though I could feel and see the irritation bouncing off of the men.I smiled as they pulled me back in the direction of Blazepelt pack. I was being dragged by a large man who had a permanent frown on his face and his hold on me was hard, I felt like my arm was going to split in half. I think it was mostly my fault that he was out to snap my arm because he was the same one who I had licked earlier. Alpha Ryker was walking silently behind us but his presence sure was not silent and it did not make anything better with my wolf finally awake and getting excited over our killer mate.After this encounter I was more determined to make another run because let us just be honest, I almost outrun the Alpha and his top warriors. I stared back at him and turned back immediately when his hazel eyes met mine. I was very ready to make a run for it again when I s
TENWhen he said, "not in a shit hole" I actually thought that I was no longer going back to the hollow and horrid-smelling cell. The thought made me feel relief beyond measure and some part of me-the more wolf part- expected him to take me to his house. I was not against the thought of being away from that cell but I was not for the idea of being in the same house as him. Everything had started feeling like an internal battle between my wolf and me, especially when it was something that had to do with our so-called mate.Sasha was more in love with the fact of mating with our mate and that meant being ready to forgive him. Hell, I was not ready to even give him a single chance, he had taken away my happiness in a flash. That was something I was not willing to forgive, I was not even given the chance to say goodbye to my parents and give them a befitting burial....this was all because I was paired with a selfish bastard. Mother luna really decided to be unfair on my part. My mate was
"Come on, you don't want to ignore me." Alec's voice cut through my protesting grunts and groans. "I know that I'm your only company." The smugness that was filling his voice made me want to do nothing more than throw a hard punch at his face.I straightened my body on the bed and unveiled my face from the shield of pillows. The smug look was still on his face as I glared at him. I was definitely seeing a new side of him regarding the fact that the other time I talked to him, he sounded like a total creep. His features looked more vibrant and relaxed than when he had a serious and guarded look. He seemed happy and content with his surroundings, unlike me."What do you want?" I tried to seem braver than anything but an inner voice was telling me that this was the moment I was dreading, I tried to reassure myself that Alec could qualify to be a person who could be considered something close to a friend."I just came to keep you company." He replied and I threw him another glare when he
At first glance, my jellies had already told me that Danielle was quite a handful and she had exceptionally proved it as she kept on rumbling about god knows what. Actually, she was rumbling about how excited she was about the Alpha finally meeting his "mate". I just sat there and nodded to whatever she said because I was not the one who was going to break her spirits over what an asshole her Alpha was. She kept on making up different scenarios that I was sure were only supposed to be kept in her head but she did not care that she was talking too much and that she was making me uncomfortable."......en you and the Alpha are going to get dirty." Those were the words that caught my attention and the thought itself made my cheeks rosy. No! I was not supposed to be blushing especially since none of what Danielle said was ever going to happen. That man had taken every dear thing and person away from me, he had attacked my home and brought nothing but chaos. I was not going to mingle with
I rubbed my eyes and sighed, my eyes were itching and it really started getting irritating. I had taken a quick shower after talking to Alec and I was wearing one of the dresses that were brought in. Needless to say, I was more than glad to get out of the huge hospital gown and into a burgundy skater dress that ended right above my knees. It was one of the dresses that caught my eye and it seemed casual enough to do what I wanted to do.I looked into the mirror that was in the bathroom and searched for any foreign items that might have entered my eyes but found none, I ended up washing my face and patting it dry with a towel. There was no make-up around so my face was as natural as it could be and my hair was tied up into a ponytail. It was now or never and honestly the latter did not sound pleasing. Never meant forever and I did not want to spend the rest of my miserable life surrounded by people I did not know.I let out a breath and walked out of the bathroom, staring at the messy
My body was still shaking but encouraging words were echoing through my head and I kept on reassuring myself that I could not back down and this was for my freedom. I wanted to be in Alec's shoes for the first time because he was so accustomed to the surroundings and seemed so calm, unlike me. My body was shaking and my heart was beating at an unbeatable pace while Alec's shoulders had a lazy slump to them and his hands were in the pockets of his jeans. I closed my eyes and wished I had not breathed in any of the surrounding air when I took in a deep breath. Jaxon's scent filled up the whole house. I opened my eyes and looked up at Alec who was still walking as casually as he was from the beginning.The house was mainly a grey colour and light blue covered most of the furniture, all the walls were a deep grey colour. I had expected black as the main colour but grey did not do much to change my perspective and the silence that filled the air only echoed my thoughts more loudly. He was
