His Runaway Luna

5. The Alpha's Wrath

Iris 

He stripped me from my coat and threw me on his bed, laying on my back, before I could move his knees straddled my thighs and his heavy hand pinned my back down. 

“No… stop it! Please!” I squirmed, moving my legs and arms frantically, trying to fight back. I should have submitted, but something inside me didn’t let me to, didn’t allow me to give up. My protests only earned me a deep growl and a spank. 

“You should be whipped like the others. You should be severely punished, much more than them. Yet no one is touching you, but me, Little White Wolf!” he lashed out, “and I won’t have what is mine tainted,” he whispered these words. 

He flipped me around as if I weighed nothing, hovered over me, pinning my body down with his and stretching his arms to look for something in his drawer. Soon his weight left my upper body and his command was what kept me motionless, “Keep still, Iris!” his voice radiated his Alpha authority and I couldn’t wriggle anymore. 

Something hard and cold met the exposed flesh of my buttcheek, making me wince. Before the smarting could subside, my skin was chastised with another loud and rough spank. 

“You should be very glad that it’s the only punishment you are taking. If you were anyone else, you would be dead now” 

I sucked a puff of air and bit my lips. I knew his words carried the truth, I was the only wolf ever to leave the pack and survive it, to survive the Alpha’s wrath. He didn’t kill me because of Sapphire? Was it his reason? My mind wandered through a labyrinth of thoughts, trying to escape the painful reality of his strikes. 

After a series of hard spanks, the skin of my buttcheeks and tights was stinging. He suddenly stopped his punishment, squeezing my smarting flesh and reaching his hand down, dangerously close to my s*x. I clenched my eyes shut as my heart started racing, I was about to protest and kick him out when he flipped me over with ease and agility and hovered over me. 

“Now I’ll f**k you and you will enjoy it.” 

I opened my eyes widely. Fright, the urge to fight, and even a pang of desire flew through my bloodstream, causing heat to creep up my face and my neck. 

My nippl.es pressed to his strong sculpted chest became hard nubs and my thigh tingle at the place it made contact with his warm and rock-hard erection. 

A moan wanted to leave my lips, but instead, my body thrashed to both sides, and I moved my arms and kicked my legs convulsively, “No!! No!”  

“Quiet, Iris! You will enjoy it!” He cupped my face between his rough hands, his touch heavy but not hurtful, and said these words in such a way as if he was trying to hypnotize me. 

But even though his words jolted through my mind and body as a command, I felt compelled to ‘enjoy it’. Even thoughmy body wanted it and I could feel the moisture gathering in the juncture between my legs. I resisted.

My body wanted to submit, to its Alpha, to its lust. He was a very handsome and powerful man, which instinctively attracted all the she-wolves. Our DNA craved for that, a mighty male that could watch for us and our pups, an Alpha. But my heart and my mind knew that there was something wrong, I couldn’t belong to him. So, I thrashed even more, struggling against the Alpha and my inner battle. 

He held my wrists tightly, pinning my arms above my head and looked intently at me once again.

“Submit to me, I am your…” he hesitated for a moment, taking me by surprise. Alphas didn’t hesitate, especially not one like him. “I am your Alpha!”

I inhaled deeply, gathering my courage, my insanity and said back, “I can’t! I won’t submit, Alpha!” 

Worse than having my body ravished, I dreaded having his mark on my skin. A mate mark was even more intimate than s*x because it touched ones’ soul, life and destiny. I couldn’t carry his mark, the mark of a man who was only using me because of Sapphire’s assumed powers, the mark of someone who wasn’t my fated mate. 

I wouldn’t ever give him my consent to mark me. Ever. 

His hands wrapped around my neck firmly, but not enough to suffocate me. My eyes opened widely and I bit my bottom lip. His gaze was heated with absolute anger and a twinkle of… hurt? 

He would take what he wanted anyway, but at least I would know that he didn’t violate me deeply enough to make me submit, he wouldn’t have my willingness. If my willingness was the only thing I could keep, I would hold on to it, teeth and claw. 

Sapphire released a howl filled with hurt inside my mind, but I knew she agreed with me. 

Maybe I was indeed insane, those weren’t words an Alpha was used to, especially not an almighty and ruthless Alpha. I might be signing my death sentence, but I would go as far as it took to keep my dignity. 

“I’ve never had to force a woman and it won’t be the first time,” he said slowly, his warm breath fanning over mine. 

Was it out of pride or did he have a conscience? 

It didn’t matter, all that I could feel now was the sweet beam of calmness, making my tightened nerves loosen up. A breath of relief left my nostrils and my heartbeat slowed down immediately. Of course, he could hear it, he could read my body’s response very well and he didn’t like it at all. His jaw locked and his seething gaze made my heart race once again. 

Before I could even blink the soft skin of my face was met with a hard slap, I only gasped in response. 

He rolled off me and sat up, wrapping a thin grey blanket around my naked body. He grabbed my arm tightly and made me stand up with him. 

I looked at him confused, disoriented. Shock and fright pulsing through my body and soul. What would he do next? I pulled my arm back and he slapped my face once again. 

“Enough! Stop it, Iris! No one has ever challenged me before and you won’t be the first one! I am your Alpha!” he growled, putting a coat on and jerking me out of the room and down the stairs. We crossed the empty living room and went down another flight of stairs as he tugged me into an unknown place. No, that couldn’t be it! 

Soon, we arrived at the basement and I started shivering as my teeth ground. The thin blanket was doing nothing to protect me from the overwhelming coldness. The walls here were quite thin, not insulated like in the rest of the house, the icy wind could enter here easily which made this place a little winter hell. 

“Alpha, will you leave me here?” I asked, and his only response was pushing me into a cell and locking the door. 

“You will stay here until you stop acting out and submit to me like everyone else in MY f*cking pack! You are MINE, Iris! You shouldn’t ever forget it!” his voice was a lash, and his rage only enhanced his powerful aura, making it vibrate through the room.

“You said you wouldn’t kill me, but if you leave me here for too long, I will freeze to death,” I told him, without meeting his eyes. I was hugging myself, my body constricting trying to keep itself warm. 

“You know what to do to get warmer, Iris!” he replied, walking away without looking back and closing the thick door of the basement behind him. 

“Shouldn’t we shift, isn’t it better?”

“No… we are too new to this, if we shift we will spend too much energy and we don’t have that much to waste,” she sighed, her face hidden between her paws in aggravation.

It was better to die this way than to be force-marked by him. 

Sapphire howled her agreement, she was too busy focusing all of her energy to keep us warm. 

I guess that in the end, I was just like my Alpha; my belief in fate and my conviction in love were too strong. I simply didn't want anyone besides the fated mate who I didn’t even know; who I wouldn’t ever meet.

Alpha Zack

I went to my office and sank into my armchair, my eyes roamed to the window, to the white shades outside, the somber snow blizzard. Iris' pale face was all I could see. Her naked body squirming on the snow, her damp blonde hair glued on her forehead and her blue eyes filled with fear, revolt, challenge; her eyes empty of any recognition.

My wolf growled with aggravation, he was craving Sapphire as much as I yearned for Iris. My arm moved like a lash throwing everything that was on my table on the floor and shattering a f*cking vase into pieces 

A loud growl vibrated through my throat, I was seething with rage. What the hell was happening? How that little she-wolf managed to make me lose my mind? 

I had to take her out of my system, either kill or fu.ck her. 

I should have killed her on the spot as I always do to all the wanna-be-rogues of this pack. But I couldn’t.

An annoying knock disturbed me, and Grey entered my office.  

He looked at me and sighed deeply, making me narrow my eyes at him. 

“How did you find the white she-wolf so fast?” he asked.

I had no patience for him now, “I am a better tracker than you can ever dream to be.” It was true, but there was something special about her. I could sniff her scent from miles away. He only nodded, knowing better than to question his Alpha.

“You are being too lenient with her,” he said. Was he losing his mind? Daring to talk to his Alpha in such a way? 

“Out!!” I growled, my voice carrying a command and a thread. 

I knew I was too lenient with her and that had to stop. But she was special, she was my weakness. She was my fu.cking mate.
