I stood there with my head held high, watching as confusion contorted his features, he watched me for what seemed like hours before he growled, clenching his fists.
“How did you do that!?” He bellowed, his wolf nearing the surface as he began losing control of his temper.
I said nothing as I looked him in the eyes, almost a silent challenge, I would allow him to walk all over me, I was better than that. “I’m leaving.” I said bitterly, “Tell me your name so that I can reject you, you are not my mate. Not now. Not ever.”
I swore that his eyes darkened, if that were even possible, and in a flash he was pinning me to the wall, his hand grasped tightly around my neck. “You will not leave, little wolf.”
I knew he was using his alpha tone, I could feel the power that radiated from him, my feet close to his knees as he held me in the air. “I will leave.” I growled, attempting to match his tone. “You are nothing to me, I don’t care if you are an alpha.”
He leaned close to my face, so close that I could feel sparks brushing against my cheeks as I tried not to shake, not to show the horror I felt within me. “I can smell your fear.” He laughed. “You wouldn’t make it a mile before me or my pack caught you and dragged you back kicking and screaming.”
I growled, baring my teeth at him before I realised what I had done, sinking my teeth into his arm as I ripped his hand from my throat, unsure of my own strength. He howled in pain as I let go, his blood dripping from my lips and I turned on my heals and ran, rushing towards the door to the bedroom as I attempted to hold up the trousers that were four times my size, the jumper reaching below my knees. I could hear his thundering footsteps behind me as I slammed open the door and turned left, moving as fast as I weekend frame would allow. I could feel exhaustion at the corners of my mind, begging me to stop, to rest for a while, but that wasn’t possible. If I stopped now he would kill me.
I made it down the stairs, taking three or four at a time, my movements rushed and panicked as I almost tripped several times before I reached the bottom floor. Quickly looking behind me I noticed that the alpha hadn’t yet caught up, but I still didn’t dare stop as I burst into the cold night; crashing into something that resembled a wall. I was thrown back, my petite body rolling three times before it stopped, my lungs burning as they pleaded for air.
I snapped my head up, gasping when I saw what was before me, the beta who I had met back at the cabin stood with his arms crossed over his chest, watching me with those blue eyes. But that’s not what terrified me, it looked as though the whole pack was stood not far behind him, both men and women crouching into attack position, ready to subdue me for their alpha.
“You shouldn’t have done that, little wolf.” Said the beta, shaking his head as though he was a father scolding a child. But then, his attention shifted to something behind me, his blue eyes darkening to black and instantly knew why.
The rest of the pack growled, ready to strike me down for the vermin that I was, but they stopped after only a few steps, each of them seething with rage. I felt my mate before he reached me, I could smell the blood that was still pooling from the wound I had left on his arm. In that moment, I wished that I had died with my mother, the bravery and strength I had conjured seeping from me as he drew closer, taunting me.
I turned my head just in time to see his fist and dodge at the last second, crawling across the ground as my legs seemed to continuously give way beneath me. Tears flowed freely from my eyes and I scream of pain ripped from me as his foot connected with my side, the monster pulling me to him by my hair.
I could see the hatred and fury in his eyes as he forced me to look at him, his voice deep and cold. “I was going to allow you to sleep peacefully tonight, give you food and warmth. Clearly that is not what you want.”
I forced myself to hold his gaze, to not cower and submit as I knew his pack did, I was not his slave, I wasn’t his possession. I was my own person. I was free. I didn’t belong to him. I belonged to no one.
His snarl echoed through the night as he adjusted me so that I was pressed against him, one arm wrapped around me as the other remained wrapped around my hair. “You have no one to blame for this but yourself.”
I opened my mouth in confusion, but no words left my lips as he ragged my face to the side and exposed my neck to him, panic seeping through me with a new ferocity. The pack cheered and clapped as he sunk his teeth into the space between my shoulder and my neck, I felt nothing at first, but then I let out a blood curdling scream, the pain was like nothing I had ever known. Even Kayla howled within me, disgusted and afraid all at once.
I was barley conscious when he adjusted his grip on me carrying me as though I was a delicate baby, but when he spoke I wanted nothing more than to rip out his throat. “Now you can not escape me, little mate.”
He had ensured that he would know my location at all times, he had marked me against my will.
He had claimed me as his.
Kayla howled in mourning within my mind, the last thing I saw before darkness consumed me was his face, the face of the monster to whom I now belonged.
I felt nothing but pain as I stirred awake, my body weak and slow as I tried to recall what happened, the events of the previous day crashing into me and making me gasp. They killed my mother, took me from my home, the alpha marked me without my consent. I shot upright, my eyes open as alert as I looked around, I was the same room from the night before, I was in his bed, I realised after a few moments that I was alone, his faint scent telling me the bed had been empty for a while. I tried to stand, but when I did something metal dug into my ankle, I threw the covers back, horrified to see that the monster had chained my leg to one of the posts on the bed, the chain small meaning that I would only be able to take a step or two before the metal cuff tore my flesh.I pulled as hard a could on the chain, but it wouldn’t budge even an inch and the cuff was secured with silver, it would burn my skin on contact and weaken my wolf. I curled my bare legs towards my
I growled back, my own wolf threatening to break loose and dominate the stupid alpha, she had never spoke nor showed herself where it was not needed. But now, she was just as furious as I was, we never once said the alpha was weak, we simply demanded to know what made him kill our mother when she had not been aggressive towards him or his pathetic pack.I knew my mother well, she would run before she used her essence against anyone, she was peaceful and all she had ever wanted was to protect me, she knew that if I was found I would be used and locked away. Exactly as was occurring now.“How many times do I have to tell you!?” I screamed, my chest heaving and my body trembling from an anger I had never before experienced. “I. Am. Not. Yours.” With each word that left my lips thunder sounded from somewhere outside the building, lightning flashing across the room as a uncontrollable storm raged both outside and inside my
He had moved to stand beside the bed in a flash, looking down at me as though I was something he could devour and control, watching me in a possessive and yet cruel way. I didn’t move, call it fear or confusion whatever you want, but for reason I knew that challenging him at this moment would only lead to severe pain, a pain I was unsure I would be able to handle.I gulped even though my throat was dry, causing me to cough slightly whilst I built up the courage I would need for my next words. “I-I need the toilet.” I whispered, my voice so low a mortal wouldn’t have heard me.He tilted his head to the side, watching me as though I was some sort of mystery he had yet to solve. “How do I know I can trust you not to try anything?”I rubbed my legs together in discomfort. “Please? I won’t do anything, I really need it.”He laughed, though the sound he
The door burst open, violently pulling me from the dreamless sleep I had no idea that I had entered, my mind slow and distant. That was, until I heard unfamiliar voices approaching the bed; ridding me of the last moments of peace I had been given.“This is her? She’s tiny, definitely not suited to be the next Luna.” Laughed an unfamiliar female voice, causing my eyes to peel open, the light blinding me for a small moment.There, to the bottom of the bed, was two bulky she-wolfs, their eyes the shade of deepest emerald and whilst the one who spoke had bleach blonde hair, the other having a ginger and brown shade. I could clearly see their muscles through the very short and tight dresses they wore, their breasts barely covered in the revealing purple and yellow gowns, though the one with blonde hair was plastered in make-up.I sat up slowly, my eyes bouncing between them in curiosity. “Who are you?&
I watched as Dorian thundered towards me, and even before he reached me I knew that what happened next would hurt. I braced myself, lowering the forcefield as I knew it would do me no good in this situation. He slapped me around the side of my face with enough force to knock me to the ground, the left side of my face burning as it began to bruise instantly.“How dare you attack members of my pack!?” He shouted, his body vibrating with anger.I pulled myself onto my knees, keeping my head down as I shook from both fear and fury, of course he wouldn’t ask me what had happened, he just believed the blonde whores words as though they were from the moon goddess herself. What had really happened didn’t matter, I was the outsider, the rogue. My words mattered little to those who already saw me as a vermin.He slapped me again, before kicking me in the hip and then the back, though I made no
I waited for a few minutes, watching the door, but before I could even move it opened again, revealing the very creature that I was afraid might enter. His eyes locked onto my face and I instantly cowered away, hiding behind my hair and lowering my head to my knees. My entire form tense. I heard his heavy footsteps as they grew closer, too afraid to look him in the eye. Was he still mad? Would he take his anger out on me again?Oh goddess please don’t let him hurt me! I begged silently, my body trembling in apprehension.I heard him sit in the chair that his beta has occupied a few minutes before him and I cautiously lifted my head, watching him through my hair. His pitch black eyes were locked onto me, silently waiting, though for what I didn’t know.“Have I done something wrong?” I whispered, my voice small and weak.I couldn’t stand
Hours passed before Dorian stormed from the room, leaving me in a pool of my own blood and his semen, my body and mind broken as I laid there, staring at nothing in particular. I had always been told that the bond between mates was sacred and special, but he had treated me with nothing but cruelty. The tears had dried up long before he left, my screams turning into nothing but whimpers of pain and anguish. How could anyone do this? What had I ever done to deserve what he had done? I cried out when I tried to stand, the bruises that swamp my body a painful reminder that what he said was true, I was worthless. I was nothing. He could do whatever he wished to me and I would be powerless to stop it, he was stronger than I could ever hope to be. An alpha. I fell onto my knees, unable to stand as the pain was too unbearable, my silent sobs the only sound I could hear. Before I knew what was happening I was crawling to the bathroom to do what I could to rid myself of
Where are we going? Kayla asks me, concerned that we had been running for a long time with no destination.I don’t know. I reply honestly, all I know is we have to get away from him. I agree. She snarls, huffing angrily at what he had done to us. He can’t treat us like that and get away with it. No, he can’t. I growl, completely agreeing with Kayla.In all the stories mother told me about mates, she never mentioned that we could get one like Dorian, and a small part of me hates her for it. Why couldn’t she have warned us? She must have seen plenty act like him when she was in a pack, so why didn’t she say anything? Did she hope that I would be given one who would love me unconditionally?I wasn’t exactl
