Forced Mate Of The Monstrous Alpha

3 - Just let me go

Gianna

This Emily girl does not like me at all.

As soon as I finished showering, which took me ten minutes, I put on the bra and sexy red panties that I found on the bed. Then I slipped on the black thigh-length dress and searched for a hairbrush.

Emily burst into the room without knocking, and I was only thankful that I’d already gotten dressed in clothes my size, no less.

How the hell could anyone know my size?

Emily is a beautiful woman. She has long blonde hair and big green eyes, is slim, and has skin that would make a porcelain doll jealous. She looked me up and down with disdain. I’m not easily intimidated, so I raised my eyebrow and folded my arms around my chest.

The large, medieval-looking bedroom, larger than my home’s top floor, should have attracted my attention. But I hadn’t looked around because I didn’t want to get comfortable. I won’t be staying here. Though the room is enormous, it took Emily less than two seconds to get to me.

For a moment, I thought she was going to slit my throat. The look on her face certainly said she wished me dead. Instead, she grabbed my arm and dragged me in front of a large desk. The big mirror in front of it told me that I looked like shi.t compared to Emily.

She pushed me down into the seat and began dragging a brush through my hair. She was not gentle about it at all! Emily blowdried and fashioned my hair in a French braid before slapping makeup on my face. She said not one word to me through all of this. I wanted to tell her I could do my own hair and makeup, but I figured she’d punch me in the face for daring.

She sprayed perfume on my neck and grabbed a pair of black heels. She threw them at me and waited impatiently for me to put them on. The bitc.h probably expected me to fall over in them, but I stood gracefully.

I wear heels all the time for balls and nights out. I’m a woman, and I’m used to dressing up. Whatever Emily hoped for, she was disappointed.

What did she think?

That I was a sheltered little virgin girl?

I am no such thing. I have a life, a man, and I party with the best of them.

What is Mason thinking right now?

Mason is my boyfriend, and Bella is sure to have raised the alarm by now. She would have called our parents and Mason and explained what had happened. Bella can’t possibly know I’m here, but I do not doubt that she believes the rogue caught me.

If I can’t escape this place yet, I need to find some way to call my family. I tried calling them through our mind-link, but I got no answer. I can’t bear the thought of them believing that I’m dead. All that pain they’ll be in; I can’t let that happen.

“You may be Lorcan’s mate,” My eyes snap to Emily. “But you will never be Luna of Silver Paw.”

My heart pounds in my chest.

I’m mated to Lorcan Dalgaard?

Alpha of Sliver Paw pack?

Second son of the Supreme Alpha of Lykos?

No!

There is no way on this earth I want to be mated to that monster. Goddess, that’s why he looked so familiar; I know his sister and, of course, his parents. I’ve seen his brothers before now, but I’ve never spoken to them.

How could I have not known who Lorcan was the moment I saw him?

Anyone would say that I should consider myself lucky to have been paired with a Supreme Alpha, but I don’t feel lucky.

How could I when I got paired with the evil one out of the three Dalgaard brothers?

Lorcan is the most feared Alpha in the world. He cares nothing for anyone, and I know that he won’t give a damn about me. I don’t want Lorcan to be my mate, but I know if I reject him, it could kill me. Perhaps not; I could be one of the few strong enough to fight to stay alive.

Then, who knows, maybe I’ll find my second chance mate. If that happened, I could be happy, and one never knows; my second chance mate could be Mason.

Now, wouldn’t that be something wonderful?

“I don’t want to be Lorcan’s mate or Luna of this pack,” I tell Emily with as much sass as I can muster.

She nods. “That’s good. Lorcan plans to reject you eventually once he’s had his fun.”

Fuc.k no, he will not be having any kind of fun with me!

“But let’s get one thing straight,” Emily says, standing directly in front of me with her hands on her hips. “Lorcan is my man, and I am Luna of this pack. I don’t want you here, corrupting Lorcan.

“We have a good thing, Lorcan and me. The pack recognizes me as their Luna, and you are nothing. They will turn on you in a heartbeat, and you’ll be nothing but dead by the time they’re done with you.”

I raise my eyebrow.

I will not give this woman the satisfaction of knowing she’s spooked me.

“I’ll say this one more time. I do not want your man or to be Luna of this pack. You’re welcome to Lorcan; he’s all yours. Why don’t you just let me go? I don’t want to be here anyway,”

Emily smirks. “Before I watch Lorcan tear you apart?”

I swallow the lump in my throat.

I don’t know what I did to deserve this, but I’ll do whatever the Moon Goddess wants as long as she helps me get away from here.

I have to be strong and show this woman that she doesn’t scare me, even if she does.

“You could watch that,” I nod my head. “Or you could watch me evoke the mate bond. I’m sure you’re aware by now that the pull is strong. I could have him under me, on top of me, licking ...”

A low growl rips from Emily’s throat, and I fight the urge to laugh.

Stupid bitc.h.

She has no idea who she’s messing with. Dominant she-wolves all believe that any woman they come across is weaker than they are. This idio.t in front of me has no clue just how dominant I am also. But she’ll find out if she pushes me any further.

“Just let me leave, and you’ll never have to see me again.”

Emily eyes me for a moment before shrugging. “Fine, go.” I breathe deeply through my nose. “But you won’t get far before Lorcan finds you. He doesn’t take well to losing.”

“He’s not losing anything. He wanted to reject me, and I’m not stupid enough to believe he’ll let me reject him first.”

“Rejecting him could kill you. Probably not him, but you never know.”

Emily is correct, but I don’t care about Lorcan Dalgaard. I don’t know what I’ll do when I get out of here, but rejecting the man may not be possible.

I’ll have to ask Alpha Orrin if there’s any way to get rid of this mate bond. No one else can help me.

It’s not that I’m ungrateful to the Moon Goddess; I just believe that she’s made a mistake. My mother swears that Selene never makes mistakes; if that’s the case, she has a strange sense of humor.

“Why are you standing for this? If Lorcan is your man, and you’re the Luna here, why are you standing in my way? Any other woman would be glad to see the back of me.”

That’s what I’m not understanding right now. If Mason had found his mate and he didn’t want her, I wouldn’t stand by and allow him to hurt the girl. I’d make sure he knew we belonged together and needed to reject the girl if that’s what he wanted. But this woman would willingly sit back and allow her man to mess around with another woman.

Emily smirks. “Lorcan won’t sleep with you; he’s all mine. But until he’s finished ruining your life, I’m stuck with you.”

I sigh. “I just want to go home, Emily. I don’t belong here. I don’t want Lorcan, and he doesn’t want me. If you want him, take him, but let me go.”

“Then go,” She shrugs again. “I’ll give you a twenty-minute headstart before Lorcan finds out you’re gone.”

“How am I supposed to get out of here?”

I don’t know the layout of this house; how am I meant to find my way to the front door?

She sighs before telling me, “Follow me,”

So I do. I follow Emily down a long corridor that’s barely lit. She leads me down a spiral staircase, and I wish I could take in the beauty of the intricate marble, but I’m too anxious to get out of here.

I have to admit that this place is enormous. It seems mythical in the dark, but I imagine it will resemble an old English mansion during daylight.

We finally reached the front door, where I thought Emily would leave me. However, she tips her head so I can follow her.

My stomach turns as we walk deeper into the forest. It’s so dark that I can’t see one foot in front of the other. I let my Wolf vision take over, seeing everything all at once.

“Shift and use your Wolf senses to make it home. You don’t have long; Lorcan will already be wondering where you are.”

I don’t like this woman, but I can’t deny that she helped me tonight.

“Thank you, Emily.”

She scoffs. “Whatever.” Then, she turns and walks away, leaving me to shift and make my way home.

It doesn’t take me long to get there. Running in Wolf form means I’m five times faster than I am as a human.

I stumble through the back door and lock it as quickly as possible. I grab a nightshirt out of the laundry basket and pull over my naked body. I lost the dress Lorcan left for me when I shifted.

“Mom? Dad? Bella?” I yell their names, but no one seems to be home.

They must be out there looking for me. But just like always, they left the back door open in case I came back. I tried mind-linking them, but again, there was no way for me to get through.

I run to my bedroom and find my phone. I call Bella, but she doesn’t answer, nor do Mom and Dad, and I’m beginning to worry.

Where the hell could they be?

I decide they must be worried about me, searching all over, but they’ll be back soon. All I need to do is wait for them to return.

I change into fresh underwear and pajamas and then make myself a sandwich. I’m famished and in need of meat.

Once I’m done eating, I clear up after myself, then pace the living room floor. My mind is running a mile a minute, no one is answering my calls, and I have a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Please be okay.

But as I say that to myself, I know things will never be okay again. They can’t be with a man like Lorcan Dalgaard as my mate.

First thing in the morning, I’m going to Dalgaard Mansion. I won’t leave until I get an audience with the Supreme Alpha and Luna. I’ll explain this nightmare to them, and maybe they can talk some sense into their son. I don’t know what good it will do, but I hope the Supreme Alpha will force Lorcan to let me go.

I didn’t ask to be mated to a lunatic!

Why the hell does Lorcan even want me when he plans to reject me in the end?

If Lorcan wants to reject me, he must know he’ll be okay if I accept. He won’t die, but I might, and that hurts. Lorcan will let me die slowly and painfully. But then I could survive the process; I’ll make his life a living hell!

‘Don’t be stupid, Gianna,’ I sense my Wolf rolling her eyes. ‘If you survive the rejection process, you move the hell on.

‘Do you have any clue what would happen to us if you piss off The Monstrous Alpha? He’d tear us apart! Where the hell would that leave us?’

I groan while scrubbing my hands over my face. Lyra is right, and I realize that Lorcan Dalgaard holds my life in his hands.

Fuckin.g great!

‘I could talk to his Wolf, Gianna. I felt how much Valsurus wanted me.’ I sense her smirking.

‘You’ll do no such thing! I don’t want Lorcan, so don’t get any ideas about mating with his Wolf.’

‘Why are you being like this? It doesn’t matter what Lorcan thinks right now; no one can fight the mate bond forever. It will keep pulling you back to each other until you finally give in,’

‘It won’t happen, Lyra. I don’t want to hurt you; I love you. But don’t get your hopes up when it comes to Lorcan and his Wolf.’

I hear Lyra sniff before she retreats to the far corners of my mind. Of course, Lyra wants her mate, all she-wolves do. But she won’t find any happiness with Lorcan and his Wolf, and I won’t let them hurt her. Lyra is everything to me, and I will do everything in my power to protect her.

After what seems like forever, the front door opens. I hear my dad’s voice, and I run straight to him. I fling my arms around his neck, and he holds me tightly.

“Gianna,” He mumbles into my hair before Mom and Bella crowd me.

I giggle and wipe a tear from my eye.

I open my mouth to tell them everything when a figure catches my eye. I take a scared step backward, eyes flicking between my parents and Bella.

“It’s okay, Gianna,” Mom tries to soothe.

I shake my head. “Why is he here? Why have you brought him here?”

“I’ve come to take you home.”
