The last thing I remember was standing between Alpha Argus and the Alpha King, and I couldn’t remember anything afterward.
“What do you think happened to her?”
“She suddenly collapsed.”
“Oh poor girl, it must have been so difficult for her.”
The voices became loud and quite disturbing, I exhaled and fluttered my eyes at the bright light in the room, and tried to sit up on the soft bed when a hand touched me.
“Be careful.” The calm voice muttered beside me, with her hand on her arm. She helped me to sit. There was a man, I remembered his face, he was standing beside me.
He is the Beta of the Alpha King.
“Do you feel any pain?” The woman asked, staring at me intently, I moved away from her and was at the edge of the single bed.
“You are safe, here. Nobody is going to hurt you.” She smiled at me.
“Where am I? You are the Beta...”
“You are at the pack hospital, Dark Pack. Just call me Theodore and this is Elisa, She’s the doctor in charge of taking care of you.”
I opened my mouth to say something but ended up with empty words.
“Theo will take you away tonight to meet the Alpha but before that, if there’s anything you need. You should let me know and I’m going to do it, for you.” Elisa tried to reach out to me again, but I withdrew from her reach.
I couldn’t trust them yet.
She sighed and sat on the bed.
“I’m your doctor and you should trust me, I’m not going to hurt you. You’ve been sleeping for a day, if we wanted to hurt you we would have done that.” She got a hold of my hand.
“I don’t want to be a breeder,” I muttered as the tears gathered in my eyes, She squeezed my hand and stared at Theo.
He sighed and faced the wall behind him.
“All I ever wanted was to live a simple life and this wasn’t it.” I couldn’t hold back my tears as it fell off my eyes and rolled down my cheeks.
She pulled me into a hug and rubbed her hand down my back, soothingly.
“Life doesn’t always turn out the way we planned.” She muttered behind my ears. I hugged her tight and cried on her shoulders for some minutes.
I let go of her and wiped my tears, she gave me an injection later on. I didn’t know what it was for and I didn’t bother to ask her about it.
I lay on my bed and pretended to be asleep but I could hear their voices, I turned on my side and watched them.
“...what are you going to do? I can’t let you take her in this state.”
“You want to go against the orders of Laikan? You know how dreadful he is.” Theo whispered yelled and ran his fingers through his hair.
“He wants to have it done once and for all and isolate her from the pack.” Theo hissed, with his forehead folded.
Elisa paced in front of him while biting her nails.
“We can’t stop him,” Theo added.
“If he says tonight, then it has to be tonight. Have her ready, make sure she has eaten a lot, and just do whatever you can and I will come to take her away.” He exhaled and took his hands off his pocket.
“I will take my leave now.”
“I feel so much pity for her, is there anything we can do Theo?”
“If you want to go against his orders, Elisa. You know what will come your way. I advise you to look away from the Alpha’s business.” Without another one, he turned and strolled out from the hospital ward.
Time passed so quickly, and I was starting to feel anxious about meeting with him again. I finished eating the meal, Elisa gave me at the hospital and I was ready to leave with Theo.
“We are leaving, Elisa,” Theo said to Elisa and I followed him out of the ward to the car, It wasn’t a long ride as I expected before we arrived at the pack house.
“Come with me.”
I followed him quietly, and he led me into a room. He opened the door, and there were two ladies inside the room, who bowed respectfully at him.
“Take care of her before the Alpha comes.”
“Yes, Beta.”
Theodore stared at me for a second, nodded his head, and went out of the room, leaving me with the ladies.
“Come with us, miss. We have prepared a bath for you. We would make the night special to you.” One of the ladies said with a fake smile plastered on her face.
They had smiling faces but I doubt if they were genuinely smiling.
“Take the dress you have on, off or you want us to help you undress?”
“No, I can do that myself.” I sputtered a reply to her question.
I don’t want anyone to touch me, and something ends up happening. I sighed took off my clothes and soaked myself in the bathing tube with soapy water.
I stayed for a long time, and it was about time to get out and get dressed. I touched the necklace my father gave to it as a birthday present. The image of him being shot flashed through, I staggered on my feet and held the wall for support.
I knew something wasn’t right, something that I needed to find out but I was more worried about my fate at the hands of a dangerous Alpha.
“Have this tea, it will calm your nerves.” I took it from them and chugged it down my throat.
“It’s been a while since the Alpha brought home a woman, and you look quite young.” I gave them back the cup and said nothing.
“Alpha Laikan isn’t just an ordinary werewolf king, you should know he’s a daemon wolf.”
“Ssh! Don’t scare her.”
“I’m telling her the truth, it’s not like she’s going to last here. Once she gives birth he will kill her.”
I covered my ears with my hands, I didn’t want to hear them talk or listen.
I have heard enough about him.
The Alpha of Dark Pack, Laikan.
I was treated lavishly by them, bathed, and got dressed in a very light cloth. They made sure I ate again before they left the room and warned me never to look him in the eye or call his name.
The room was beautifully decorated but the light in the room was put on, and they lit candles instead on the table.
I was seated on the bed, feeling naked, the transparent clothing could barely cover anything.
I felt exposed and ashamed.
The door opened slowly, and I stood up. He entered and slammed the door behind him. He dropped the jacket he held in his hand on the couch that was in the room.
I lowered my gaze to the ground.
I did not know how I was going to greet him or what I should say to him.
“Alpha King.” I ended up muttering with a quivering voice, he wasn’t just the Alpha King to be but the new master that I was going to serve his bed.
“Strip.” He demanded. My shaky hands held the gown, I was wearing and couldn’t do anything for a second.
He unbuttoned his shirt and then stopped and looked at me with a dark gaze.
“I said something didn’t I?”
He walked towards me, his eyes not leaving my face. I held the gown and started to take it off my body, I let it slide to the ground, slowly as if I was letting go of everything.
“Get on the bed.”
I climbed on the bed and lay down on it, my hand clawing the bedsheets beneath me. I felt the bed sink, and I could see his biceps through the faint light in the room. He set himself above me, and my breast touched his chest.
My teeth bite my lower lip and I shut my eyes tightly.
“Please.” I cried when his breath was on my neck, the tears falling on the bed.
“I don’t want this, please. I don’t want to be a breeder.” The tears wouldn’t stop flowing from my eyes, and I couldn’t bear to look at him.
His body left mine.
”How do you intend to pay back?”
“I will work.” My vision was blurry because of the tears.
He scoffed and stood up from the bed.
“How long do you intend to work, and be able to pay back 5.2million?”
How could he give Argus such an amount? I couldn’t pay him back no matter how hard I worked for him.
“I will give you a day to recover.”
He picked up his jacket and walked out of the room.
I grabbed the bedsheets, covered my nakedness, and cried my eyes out.
