Entangled by the savage alpha king

Chapter 1

Ava's POV

“And what did you think you are doing?” I heard the unmistakable voice of Alpha Luke as I stepped in to do my duties that morning.

“Good mor…ning alpha.” I stuttered, bowing my head as my eyes briefly landed on where he was sitting.

He had a pen on his hand and he was scribbling some things into a book.

“That didn't answer my question bitch.” He growled, stood up then walked closer to me. “Who the hell are you and what did you want in my chamber this early?”

I took two steps backwards, intimidated by his tall, burly frame but I didn't let it show in my face.

“I am here to clean your Chambers alpha.” I said gently, not meeting his gaze.

“Clean my Chambers? And you didn't know I don't like being disturbed before 9:am?”

He asked and I shook my head. Alice didn't tell me that. I wish I had knew that before, I wouldn't have been in this kind of situation.

“Who are you talking to darling?” I heard a feminine voice ask from alpha Luke's inner room.

That must be his fiancee that I have heard so much about. I have heard different tales from various pack members of how her beauty seems to shimmer brightly like the sun. Just seeing her walk into the room Alpha Luke and I stood confirmed all I've heard.

“It's no one you should bother yourself about.” I heard him say as she leaned in to kiss him.

I felt my wolf growl inwardly when they kissed but I didn't know why. My wolf rarely communicates with me so it all seemed shocking to me. Most people in the pack had termed me wolfless. They believed I was cursed by the moon goddess and would never see a mate. It was a wild belief in our pack that anyone who doesn't have a wolf is cursed and would die without having a mate.

I was still in my thoughts when I felt a hand ran across my eye and I flinched. It was Alpha Luke, apparently he had been talking to me. His fiancee wasn't by his side anymore.

“You haven't been listening to what I was saying.” He said, his eyes summing me up.

I shook my head slowly. “I'm sorry alpha.”

“Layla wants you to do some chores for her.”

He said and I assumed his girlfriend to be Layla as she was now back from the inner chamber. A polythene bag was in her hand which she immediately threw at me and I caught it just in time, thanks to my sharp reflexes from my days of training secretly.

“What's this?” I asked, looking from Alpha Luke to Layla.

Layla scoffed then asked. “It's my undies and clothes, any problem?”

I checked the bag then confirmed what she had said. It was indeed her undies. Why in the name of the seven gods is she giving me her undies and clothes? I furrowed my eyebrows. Maybe she wanted me to deliver it to the pack's drycleaner.

Layla cleared her throat, instantly gaining my attention. She must have noticed the confused look on my face.

“You should return them tomorrow before evening and make sure it is ironed.”

She said then turned to go back into the inner chamber.

“Joe takes three to four days to wash and iron.” I said which made her stop in her tracks.

She turned back with her brow creased. “Who the hell is Zoe?”

‘Oh, she didn't know the pack's drycleaner?’ I thought inwardly.

“Joe.” I corrected. That earned me a disgusted look from her.

“He's the pack drycleaner.” I explained.

She scoffed, then gave a small laugh before she faced Alpha Luke who was now back to his scribbling on the table.

“Luke, who the hell is this clown?” I was surprised to hear her ask Alpha Luke.

“I don't know, she must be new.” I heard Alpha Luke responded nonchalantly.

“That explains it.” Layla scoffed once more then gave me a hard look, maybe to intimidate me. But I didn't cower as she she expected.

I remained proudly standing on my feet, my eye fixed on hers, and that seems to infuriate her.

“Get that back to me by tomorrow or you'd be sorry!” She barked leaving me standing rooted and stunned.

I couldn't say anything as Alpha Luke's gaze was on me all through. If it was any other person, I would have throw the clothes right back. But Layla was no ordinary person; she was Alpha Luke's fiancee and the daughter of another pack's Alpha too.

As I went out of the pack house, my mind was clouded with the thoughts of my sick mother who was the very reason I was here to work.

She told me the pack had been attacked. During the attack she had been infused with wolfsbane. This now affect her healing abilities. She's almost wolfless as she could now be affected by various human diseases and illness.

I had hoped to raise some money for her surgery which would barely be enough, but I have another plan to borrow from the pack bank.

I just hope everything goes smoothly as I had planned, I'm beginning to get edgy and frustrated.

As I took the alleyway that led to the hospital where my mother was currently receiving treatment, the ringing of my phone jolted me out of my reverie.

It was Dr. Alex from the hospital calling, and seeing his name suddenly brought some kind of fear in me. I picked up after contemplating for some seconds.

“Where are you Ava? You need to come to the hospital right away.” He said and immediately hung up.

I immediately noticed the urgency with which he spoke and I broke into a run. Dr. Alex was the one attending to my mother at the pack hospital and I know it had to do with my mother when he called.

I was breathing hard as I ran into Dr. Alex office, startling him from the list of files he was rummaging through.

“Is my mother okay doctor?” I asked, still breathing hard from how I had run so fast to the hospital.

“Your mother is fine.” He cleared his throat then added, “but won't be for long, if we don't carry out the operation in a few days.”

My mind instantly raced. What does he mean by she won't be for long?

“But you said she still have some months!” I cried out, my voice thin from exhaustion.

Dr. Alex is the pack's best doctor and he's quite efficient. But everyone in the pack also know him for his greed.

His fees were always outrageous! He's a callous and selfish man.

“Yes, it's quite surprising. Last time I checked, the cancer was in the early stage but now…..”

Doctor Alex's word were inaudible to my ears as I was now filled with my own thoughts. I couldn't watch my mother die. I had to save her one way or the other. Even if it meant going to the ends of the earth.

And with a new determination, I breezed out of the doctor's office with only one destination in mind.
