The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 7

{Jenna}

"Well, hello, darling." The eerie voice made me tremble with fear.

"Don't be scared little one." Soon a shadow appears but soon turns into a man. He is ruggedly handsome with a defined jaw. He radiates danger and power which almost makes me submit to him.

"What do you want?" I question, fumbling around with the cuffs of my shirt.

"My, my, what an eager one we have."He curls his hand around the bars that separate us. "I am Alpha Black, the Alpha Black."

"Who?" I quickly respond. Honestly, I couldn't remember any Alpha Black, after all, my memory is messed up.

"Have you hit your head anywhere?" The man raises his eyebrows.

I frown but decide to tell him, "Actually, yes."

"I knew it. Why would someone as powerful as you be here?"

My frown deepens, "I'm not powerful, I'm just a human." I fumble around yet again with the cuffs of my sleeves. "A human whose mate doesn't want her."

I couldn't tell for sure if his facial expression was sympathetic or smirking when he questioned me, "And who is your mate?"

I pondered for a moment. "I shouldn't be talking to you."

I tuck a few loose strands of gold hair behind my ear. "C'mon dear. After all, we're going to be imprisoned here all our life."

I have to admit that he was right. But I'll probably be disposed of once Brandon marks Eve. "Alpha Brandon." I murmur. 

Immediately Alpha Black's eyebrows shoot up and he smiles creepily, "Who'd a' thought..."

Suddenly, the sounds of a knife piercing flesh, echo throughout the dungeon. I quickly glance over to the Alpha who was sneering. "W-what's going on?!"

Three men approach Alpha Black's cell and swiftly unlock the door, letting him out.

"Unlock her as well." I hear him order and I fear nothing good would come out of it. One of the men who freed him asked, "Why?"

"You morons! She's Alpha Brandon's weakness. With her, I can commence my revenge. Beth's death will not be in vain and he has to pay for making me go through this hell." I turn as pale as a sheet. They were going to use me against Brandon. Why wouldn't they? The only weakness of an Alpha is his or her's mate.

They unlock my cell door and dragged me out by the wrists rather roughly. I lean close to one of the men's arms and bite him hard, forcing him to release me.

"Stupid b***h," he hisses.

He quickly tears two pieces of cloth from his clothing and uses that to bind my wrists and ankles. He also wraps a cloth around my mouth. I couldn't yell for help, which originally was my plan. Now it was no use.

Alpha Black grabbed me by the waist and threw me over his shoulder. With bounded hands, all I could do was pound my wrists against his back. My screams were muffled.

Then, they started running out the back door. But outside the palace was just plains. No place for them to try to hide their escapee. I smirk at the thought of them being caught only minutes after their escape. The Alpha notices my smirk and smiles knowingly. I wipe the smirk off my face, knowing that they already had a plan all planned out.

It wasn't until they stopped, that I noticed the ferocious growls emitting from behind. In a blink of an eye, was put down. In front of me was a pitch-black wolf with a white streak on his back, his eyes were dark with fury. Behind him was a whole armada of wolves and unshifted wolves.

At last, Alpha Black spoke. "Remember what happened to my Beth?"

The wolf who could only be Brandon snarled.

"Oh, right. You murdered her and my triplets in her womb." My eyes widened instantly, he lost a mate and his three children. Now that was brutal and painful.

"Of course, your mate has no offspring of yours, but killing her shall be more than enough." He declared as he took out a long knife ad held it against my throat. Tears began to let loose uncontrollably. I looked over to Brandon's wolf who had a pained expression on his face. 

This was it. I was going to die here. All alone at the hands of a murderer. Brandon's wolf snarled even louder, intimidating Alpha Black. 

I couldn't die here; I just couldn't. I need to help myself. There was no knight and shining armor waiting for me. I looked around desperately and thought of something clever.

My face became blank and Brandon's wolf gave me a worried expression. I whirled around and tripped the Alpha using my banded ankles. As he fell his knife fell on my lower calf; cutting flesh and the cloth. 

I hissed at how my wound burned. I quickly reached for the knife, cutting all my restraints off. But, when I turned around the Alpha and his men fled with Brandon's armada close on their heels.

I breathed heavily as I dropped the knife and collapsed on my knees. The adrenaline quickly faded and was replaced with pain. I examined my wound on my lower-calf, wincing. But Brandon's wolf came over and licked my wound. His tongue sent warmth throughout my body as I relaxed. I wrapped my arms around the wolf's neck. He jumped up, clearly startled. The tingles I felt while running my hands through his fur were electrifying. 

'My name is Wolfgang, love' I heard a voice in my head. It startled me and I let go of him, causing him to whine, 'I liked your caresses.'

I wrapped my arms around him again and he rested his head on my shoulder. 'I think I love you better than Brandon.' I respond through our link.

'Don't pay attention to the moron." He seems to ponder for a moment before continuing with, "You love me?'

Flustered, I let go of him again and he whines once more. A red blush engulfs my cheeks as I looked down at the floor. I let it slip. I let the word 'love' slip out of my mouth. How stupid could I be? However, I was telling the truth. He was also my mate so I love him. Brandon too, although he hasn't been way too nice to me. But they were my mates, how could I not love them?

'I love you Wolfgang.' I said, looking up and gazing into his eyes, my blush quickly deepened to cherry red.

He stares into my eyes to see if there was any fault in my saying before finding none and sighing, 'I thought you would hate me because of Brandon.'

He laid his body on my lap as I caressed his back. I gave him a kiss on his head but his eyes darkened and he strained out, 'Don't do that love or nothing will stop me from taking you.'

I blushed once again and stopped caressing him to which he whined once more, 'Are you doing that on purpose!'

He laid on my lap as silence engulfed us. It was that type of comfortable silence. 

Minutes later he broke the silence and said, 'I wished we could be like this always.'

He didn't sound like Wolfgang but I didn't think it could be anyone else but Wolfgang. I slid him off my lap to which he raised his head. I quickly snuggled my petite body into his fur. I was extremely small compared to him so I wrapped my arms around him. I sighed deeply into his fur, sending vibrations across his body. He shivered slightly as I quickly fell victim to a deep slumber.
