“Get in, I don't want to waste any more time." The leader of the soldiers said. He had grown colder.
I got into the backseat of the car and I could not stop my tears from spilling when I heard my best friend kicking the booth.
“Don't you think that she might die in there." I said to them, hoping to earn their mercy but instead, I got cold glares.
“Keep your mouth shut." One of the soldiers said to me, it was a warning that I knew he would not repeat twice.
I did as I was told, I was willing to make matters better, not worsen it.
They drove to a very impressive building. The exterior was like a victorian styled castle and yet when we drove into the garage, everything was modern tech. The cars were expensive and sleek.
Even the walls and lights seemed to be from the future.
They hauled Kristen out and she searched for breath like a fish out of water.
I ran to hold her, her eyes were red and tears stained her cheeks. Her lips was broken at the side and she looked frightened.
“Kristen." I cried holding her face. “What have you done?." I whispered so that the other guards wouldn't hear it.
“I did it for my mum and dad." She cried, I hugged her grabbing her face and pressing her in a hug. “The loan sharks were coming to beat them up and I just couldn't bear it."
I felt strong hands grab my arm and tear me off from Kristen.
“Now." The leader of the soldiers said and they dragged Kirsten roughly.
I cried and followed after her.
“If I were you, girl, I would hide in a corner because if the Alphas see you, they'd behead you along with your friend."
I was instantly terrified, but when I heard Kristen's scream, my legs picked up by itself. I followed the sound of her voice to see her laying down flat in the center of the throne room, Rupert's muscled leg was on her head, pressing it against the ground.
It was so painful that Kristen was screaming her lungs out and trying to get him to move.
" Stop it Rupert, you're hurting her!." I found myself shouting and running to where Rupert stood, with one push of his hand, I flew backwards and landed on my buttocks.
“Have you gone mad!." The familiar cold voice said, I turned to see the leader of the soldiers. He was sending me his usual icy glare. I stood on my feet quickly.
“Yes, I have gone mad!." I yelled with tears in my eyes. I had never stood up for myself, not even for a day in my life. I was bullied and tormented and Kristen was the only one that treated me with love and affection.
Seeing her here, being tortured by these wicked Dark-Red pack members, it awoke the protective spirit in me, a part of me that I didn't even know existed. I would give my life here for her, if that's what it took to save her.
The leader of the Alpha was suddenly furious, it was clear that he was never challenged, he raised his hand in the air and I closed my eyes, waiting for the blow.
“Caspian!." A deep thunderous voice spoke. I opened my eyes, suddenly alarmed and I was bathed with the sigh of the Triplet Alphas, all sitting on their thrones... All looking amused and impressed. I had not noticed them, and yet they've been watching.
“You, come over here." Another voice said, this one was less harsh, more assertive.
I was frozen in the spot.
“You have been given an order." Caspian said through gritted teeth. It was hard to believe that this man had treated my wounds some time ago.
I turned to look at Kristen, she was staring at me with fear in her eyes. I shot her a reassuring look even when I knew we had no chance of getting out of here the same. We can only hope. I walked to stand in front of the Alphas.
“What is your name?" The first voice asked. He was sitting on a slightly bigger throne.
“Velvet." I said looking from him to his two brothers that sat at both sides of him. I could not stop my heart from thumping. Both in fear and admiration. I should be ashamed of myself that in this situation, I was swooning over the looks of these men, but it was not my fault at all.
They were real works of art.
“I'm Alpha Alan. The eldest of the three." I nodded my head, trying my best to memorize his name in case I need to use it to address him later.
“I'm Alpha Brent, the second of the three."
“I'm Alpha Lee, the third of the three." Alpha Lee said.
“So you're technically the last." I blurted out without thinking.
The extremely huge room was quiet. I swear I heard Kirsten gasp.
“I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. Sorry alpha." I said falling to my knees and keeping my head bent down. They would surely punish me for my slip up.
It was a usual apology for me to submit so low, waiting for my fate while I was on my knees. I was used to it. When I heard laughter, my head c****d up sharply.
“Please, stand." Alpha Lee said, his lopsided grin stretched wider.
I rose to my feet. They stared at me, obviously checking me out. I was in the worst condition tonight, my dress was torn and my hair was tousled. I regret the fact that I was not extraordinarily beautiful, I had never hated my looks as much as I hated it while I stood in front of the Triplets.
Caspian cleared his throat, breaking them from their haze.
" Alphas... The crowns." Caspian said coming closer and dropping the crowns to the floor. I looked at the Alphas heads, they were all wearing crowns. Whose crowns are these?.
“That's the little thief that stole your crown." Caspian said and he bowed and disappeared into the background again.
“The normal punishment for her crime would be issued to her. Caspian you'll be in charge of enforcing the law tonight." Alpha Brent said icily.
" What's the punishment?" I asked fearfully.
“She would be beheaded," Rupert answered from behind in a voice that possessed blood lust.
