SLAVE TO THE MATE BOND

CHAPTER 8*PETRIFIED*

||*KEIZER*||

"Down.. down... down boy..." I mumbled, banging my head repeatedly on the closet wall. I had to escape the choking air in my bedroom, it was just too much.

I held back a groan, clenching my fist as my eyes travelled down to the strain between my legs and I cursed, banging my head on the wall once again. How the hell do I just get so hard from nothing when I am not a teenager going through puberty?

I pulled at the towel, letting it drop to the floor, and my enraged erection bounced a bit. I didn't even think I would walk out of the bathroom to meet my mate half-naked on my bed.

Goddess, I had already walked into her, my nose immediately picking up her scent and my head snapped up to her kneeling in such a submissive position on my bed.

I was more interested in staring at her body beneath the lace garment she wore than actually being shocked that she was on my bed, back arched and her thighs sprawled enough for me to see a peak of what lies in between.

For a moment, I think I zoned out on everything. I hadn't gotten a clear view of her face or body this morning and at that moment my eyes took in every tiny detail that I could. Her bulging eyes were the rarest I have seen, a unique combination of yellow and blue in the central part.

Slowly and delicately my eyes took in her diamond-shaped babyface, enjoying the way her nose rested in the middle of her face like a cute button and I wanted to just caress it so badly. I don't know what was applied to her skin that made it glow like the sun peppered wet kisses all over her, but my tongue had darted out involuntarily to lick my bottom lips. I have seen a lot of natives. Although there aren't that many, it is rare to see one with such an alluring amber skin tone.

I had to fight back the urge to go over to her and just lick all over her body, everywhere my lips could touch. My eyes rested on her perky brown n!pples and I swallowed hard. One of her n*****s poked out through the opening in the lace garment she wore, and it made my skin tingle with desire. The way she had positioned her body wasn't helping that much because I had felt the intense urge to just pin her over that bed and own every part of her.

My self-control was almost out of the window, if she hadn't asked that ridiculous question that snapped me out of my dazed state. I felt like I had been slapped hard in the face when I came back to my senses and I realized what I had been doing, eye-f*****g her.

I couldn't even allow myself the chance to give it another thought before yelling for her to leave. Even when I realised I had used my Alpha voice on her, it was too late to take it back. I wasn't angry at her, but at Dextra who had sneaked her into my room, and at myself for having such dirty thoughts about her.

My fingers ached to wrap around my co.ck as my mind brought back sinful pictures of what I had seen a few minutes ago and I punched the wall so hard just so I could send pain through my nervous system. The fact that she'd asked me what was between my legs, what would she have done if she actually saw me get hard? Fainted? My only thought was to get her out of the room before I did something to her.

Her scent didn't make it any better, not even now that I am hiding in my closet while she sits gingerly in my bedroom lounge. I need to calm down before walking out of this closet because I need my thoughts in the right place when dealing with those imbeciles who dare try to touch what's mi-- her.

"Can we not do this today? We don't want to harm her, so please settle down and stop making me behave like a dog." I said to my erection, groaning lightly as it strained while I pushed away from the wall.

The last thing I want right now is anything that will arouse my wolf to wake up. I like how he is at the moment, and him waking up would only complicate this situation better. He knows we cannot take a mate, but he would probably want to take the risk instead of being logical, and I don't blame him.

We've been without a mate for so long and I know that's why the mate bond and her scent is driving me crazy despite my level of self control. I forced my mind to think about horrible things that would just deflate this erection while I dragged on my brief and I rummaged through the hanger for what to wear.

[Alpha, I have the guards in custody.] Dextra informed me through the mind-link and I snarled low, still angry at her for even thinking of trying to indulge the girl in s*x after whatever those guards tried to do to her.

[Wait for me in the yard, and they had better be on their knees.] I instructed, shrugging a shirt on and I exhaled deeply before stepping out of the closet and I walked over to the slave girl fumbling with the hem of the shirt she wore and her shoulders tensed up as soon as she noticed my presence.

||*RHIAMON*||

The Alpha supreme disappeared after he handed me the shirt and I silently prayed he wouldn't return until Beta Dextra came back, because being with him alone scared the living daylight out of me.

I really hope I can convince the beta to let me leave with the other girls, because I know I'd be more happy working at the factory than being in this mansion without the free will to even breathe. I don't want to be here, he scares me and I don't want to be around him.

My mind stopped functioning as I noticed his presence beside me and my shoulders went stiff as fear gripped me. I didn't hear him coming, it almost felt like he snuck up on me. How did I not hear him coming towards me until he was already beside me? Out of reflex, my head bowed in submission and my fingers gripped tightly against the shirt I wore as I anticipated his next action.

"Sorry." I heard what sounded like an apology, but I knew that wasn't possible, the Alpha Supreme had no reason to apologise to me or anyone for that matter. He is the Alpha supreme, it's logical for him not to feel apologetic, so I knew I heard wrong and I just cast my head lower.

"You'll snap your neck in half if you keep that up. I am sorry for raising my voice on yours." I heard him loud and clear this time around, that meek voice from this morning sending soothing caresses to my skin and my head snapped up to him before I could even stop myself.

Our eyes locked in what was a confused gaze from me and him? I couldn't tell what was going on in his mind or what his eyes were saying.

"You..... Apologised?" I whispered the last part, ducking my head low as I saw his jaw tick and his brows furrowed.

"I did, that's because I used my Alpha voice on you when I shouldn't have. Don't start feeling too good about this. Stay out of my room, if you don't want a repeat of what happened today." He warned me and I nodded.

"Yes, Alpha supreme. Thank you sir." I stood up on my feet, bowing to him respectfully. I don't know what I really expected, because he actually apologised.

"Do you not know or are you pretending not to know?" He asked, and my neck craned to the side in confusion.

"Know what?" I asked, casting him a glance before looking away sharply. He maintained silence for a few seconds and I heard him sigh.

"Nevermind, follow me." was all he said before turning on his heels, and I hurried after him.

It almost felt like I was waddling in this shirt because of how large it looked on me as I walked behind him, trying my hardest not to make a sound, with my steps or my breathing.

"Get in front." He ordered in that same meek voice that probably deceives people into thinking he is a friendly individual, even his apology seemed out of character for him, but after hearing him threaten me afterwards, I guess he just apologised to make himself feel better.

I quickly trudged in front of him, trying my best to pull the front of the shirt together so he wouldn't notice how big it was on me and how ridiculous it looked on me.

The sound of the Alpha supreme snarling low behind me flinching as I walked and I dared not to look back even as an annoyed grunt reached my ears. I just knew something about me was upsetting him, and I wished we'd just get to wherever he was taking me fast enough.

"Turn left, we are going outside." He mumbled in an agitated tone. I nodded, quickly turning left, and I tried to hasten my steps away from him.

"Stop pulling at the shirt goddamnit." He cursed, sounding irritated, and I let go of the shirt.

"I'm sorry Alpha." I murmured, trying my hardest not to just break down in tears because this was honestly getting to me.

I am not a princess that cries at the slightest harsh treatment. I was never pampered at home, and I grew up with thick skin because that was the only way to live through each day without feeling the need to just end my life with all the insults from my step-mom and step-sisters.

So his actions or words shouldn't even get to me like that. I get yelled at home a lot and I don't just break down in tears every time that happens. But something about him acting like this makes me feel emotional for no reason, and I hate it.

I pushed the entrance door to the mansion open and I quickly stepped out, letting out a sigh of relief as I saw beta Dextra in the distance. I didn't bother to wait for the Alpha Supreme before hurrying to her, I just needed to get away from him. As I got closer to her, I noticed the men kneeling with their heads bowed in the burning sun. Realising they were the guards of my pack, my footsteps halted for a brief moment and I slowly walked up behind the beta.

"Where is the Alpha Supreme?" Beta Dextra asked, as I stood behind her.

"He is....."

"I am here." He announced before I could tell the beta he was coming behind me and I clamped my mouth shut.

"These are the guards." Beta Dextra said, turning to the Alpha supreme and he looked them over. I cast a glance at him as she walked around them, and I noticed how his jaw flexed.

"Which one of them tried to rape you?" Alpha supreme asked, without looking in my direction, and I swallowed.

"I can't see their faces." I whispered to beta Dextra, suddenly feeling small.

"Raise your heads up." She barked at the guards, and their heads snapped up.

I looked at their faces, and I remember the one who pinched my n!pple when they came to my house. I know he was the one who brought up the idea because of his voice, but I don't quite remember if he was the one who tried to grab me in the carriage. It was late.

"That one, he touched my breast when they came to our home, and he slapped my bum. He was the one who said they would do it at nightfall, but I don't remember the one who tried to drag me out of the carriage, it was dark." I mumbled, casting my head down. I guess the Alpha won't believe me, now that I can't give a straight answer.

"Is she telling the truth? Did any of you try to rape her? Did you touch her?" Alpha supreme asked, pointing at the guard I pointed out and he shook his head.

"My lord, how can you believe the words of this half-bred? None of us tried to touch or rape her, that b***h is lying." One of the guards lashed out. Before I could even bring myself to refuse his claims, a surprised gasp escaped me and my eyes widened as I watched his body slump to the ground with a thud.

I blinked a few times, trying to check if I had just imagined that or it actually happened. It almost seemed like it didn't happen. One minute, the guard was talking and in a second, Alpha supreme had the guard's head in his hand. My shoulders tensed as he dumped the head of the guard on the ground before the one I had pointed out and the man trembled on his knees.

My stomach churned with bile as my eyes landed on the lifeless body and a pool of blood gushing out of the severed neck of the guard. How did he do that? I didn't even see him move. How is it possible for someone to pull the head of a man from his body, severing it?

My eyes moved to the Alpha supreme and he looked unphased about what had just happened. His trousers had a few blood stains, and his eyes looked more calm than ever, like he didn't just rip a man's head off.

"Now, think about your answers very well before you open your mouth. I won't repeat the question." Alpha Supreme warned, and the red-haired guy amongst the guards quickly cast his head to the earth.

"My lord, she is telling the truth. They talked about having their ways with the girls before we left the pack. Most especially the half-breed, Delta Mako, said you can't keep having it all every year and no one checks if the girls are virgins anyway. I told them I wanted no part in it, but they tried to touch her, to drag the half-bred out of the carriage, but she vomited on him, her friend vomited on the others, and I was told to watch them while they searched for a stream to watch off the vomit. Please, my lord, spare my life, I had no part in this." The red-haired man confessed, pleading for his life, and Alpha's supreme eyes met mine.

"Is he saying the truth?" Alpha Supreme asked, and I nodded, unable to find my voice. What he did a few minutes ago is still fresh in my mind, and I wasn't prepared for his next action.

He moved away from the guard who was the mastermind behind the idea, going to the behind him, and my palm flew to my mouth as I saw what he did next. He grabbed the guard's arm, placing his leg on the guard's shoulder, and without warning he pulled the arm, completely severing it from the shoulder.

A loud scream erupted from the guard as the Alpha Supreme kicked the rest of his body to the ground and he walked away from the wailing man like nothing had happened. I wanted to look away as he got to the next man but I couldn't. I watched horrified as his claws extended. They were longer than any claws I've ever seen on any of our kind. He smiled with leisure, using his other hand to push the guard's head up and he ripped out his throat effortlessly.

"No one touches what's MINE." I heard him whisper meekly to the third guard. Despite how gentle and unscathing his voice sounded, the guard was already pissing his pants. What's his? Me? Is he talking about me? Why is he claiming me as his property simply because I am a slave here?

Despite that unsettling feeling I felt from his statement, I still watched as he flexed his hands, before wrapping his hand around the head of the third guard and he slowly dug his claws into the guard's eyes and skull. At this point, I was trembling so badly and the only thing keeping me from vomiting was the fear of getting him angry.

The wounded guards rolled around on the floor, screaming and crying in pain, and I began to wonder if I shouldn't have reported what they did. I know I wanted them to get punished for their evil thoughts, but I didn't think the Alpha supreme would even care about what a slave girl had to say.

Despite all the screams and blood, Beta Dextra looked unfazed by the scene unfolding before her. Alpha Supreme got to the next guard and I couldn't look anymore. I forced my head to turn away while he dealt with the next guard. His screams reached my ears and I shut my eyes, wishing I could also block out the cries. Alpha Supreme is really the beast they say he is, because how can anyone smile while inflicting this much pain on another person?

"Hmmmmm, what should I do with you?" I heard the Alpha supreme question, and he chuckled darkly. "Let's see." He added, and silence followed. I turned my head back to see him acting like he was deep in thoughts and then he smiled. That same creepy smirk, that neither looked good or bad. It was just off.

"Castration sounds like a good idea, but first you need to have a taste of your own medicine. Kris, take him to the dungeon. You and your men can use him to your fill. Do not kill him though." Alpha Supreme ordered.

It took a few minutes for my brain to finally piece together what he meant and my eyes widened. A taste of your own medicine?

"NO!" I yelled, as the man named Kris dragged the guard up. Alpha Supreme's gaze rested on me and I shook my head.

"No, don't make them rape him. That would mean there's no difference between him and you. That's wrong. Please stop. I begged, even though I knew I had crossed my line with what I just said, but I couldn't let him make a similar decision. How would that differentiate him from them?

His eyes trained on me for minutes, and I swallowed, trying my hardest not to waiver under his intense stare. It felt like he was staring into my soul, and it scarred me, but I needed to hold my ground.

"Fine, don't touch him, put him on an aconite-induced leash. I'll deal with him later." Alpha supreme ordered, turning away from me, and I let out a sigh of relief. I'd rather he killed the guard than have him raped.

"Take the red-haired, away, lock him in the cellars for now." He instructed, casting a brief glance at me, before turning on his heels and he walked away.

Seeing his departing back made relief wash over me, and my shoulder shook as I let out silent sobs.

"He probably didn't take their punishment to the extreme because he didn't want to scare you. He was soft on them." Beta Dextra commented, gripping my shoulder hard.

I almost asked her if she mis-spoke, because how can she say he went soft on them? If this is soft, then what happens if he really goes all the way hard?

"Keizer did this for you. You should be happy, I think he likes you." Beta Dextra whispered and I shook my head. No, I don't want him to like me, he should keep his likeness to himself. I absolutely do not want any part of it.

"Do away with them and clean this place." Beta Dextra instructed the Arlo pack guards who had stood behind the other guards, while all this went down.

"Come on, let's get you clean, fed and relaxed. You seem shaken up a bit." Beta Dextra chuckled.

A bit shaken?

I am petrified of this place and everything! I am not a bit shaken. I am petrified out of my mind. The Alpha Supreme is an emotionless beast and his Beta is just as messed up, because why is she acting like what he did is normal? Why?
