A son for the cruel alpha

Chapter 2.

It took me a while to react, as my senses had become confused in front of this man, but when I realized that I had stained him with his own drink, I immediately tried to fix it.

"I'm really sorry sir, I didn't see you..." I apologize in embarrassment.

As quickly as I can I grab a couple of tissues from a nearby table, and try to put them on this man's wet clothes. I only dared to catch a glimpse of the face of this handsome man, who has a handsome face with very masculine features and bright golden eyes, which stand out against his pale skin and perfectly combed black hair.

"You seem to have your mind elsewhere, little wolf girl" says the handsome man, "Are you sure you belong here?"

"Well... This is my first time in a bar" I answer shyly.

Is it that obvious? I only turned 18 a couple of months ago, and I haven't turned into a wolf even once, so you could say I'm pretty young.

"What a great first time..." Says the man, taking me by the chin and lifting my face.

Again I feel nervous, being forced to stare at his face, with his form driving me crazy, and those golden eyes that now seem so mesmerizing.

"It seems like we're both in a place where we don't belong, don't you think?" he asks, analyzing my appearance.

"Yeah, maybe."

So far I notice that this man is not dressed like the other people, who wear light or flashy clothes, the stranger is dressed in an elegant black designer suit, with a white shirt, and the tie untied. For sure he and I are out of place, he with his elegant clothes and I with my inexperienced appearance, we are an interesting duo.

"Wouldn't you want to go somewhere else where everything would be easier and simpler for you?" He asks, running his fingers across one of my cheeks suspiciously.

I'm not sure if he's making some kind of weird innuendo, but I can't lie, "Yes, I've always wanted to run away from this place."

"You should be careful what you wish for, beautiful," he whispers, bringing his face very close to mine.

For an instant I think he's going to kiss me so I close my eyes shyly, our lips are so close we can almost touch, but he doesn't, he just brings his lips to mine and then pulls away.

I open my eyes in confusion, and watch as the mysterious, handsome man disappears into the crowd, still staring at me.

"Sir, wait... Your suit...." I say somewhat confused, as I didn't finish cleaning it.

But I am stopped by a hand, as returning to where he left me, Jason appears looking somewhat agitated, bringing two glasses of alcohol for us.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, are you okay?" my brother asks, noticing my strange appearance.

Still holding the liquor-soaked tissues, I turn around in the middle of the bar, as if trying to find him in the crowd.

I don't understand why I feel so agitated, it's as if a part of me wants to go with him, as if I want to look for him and stay by his side, having a slight discomfort now that he's left me.

But coming to my senses, remembering not where I am and with whom, I just smile and try to pretend normality: "Yes, I'm fine".

Jason looks a little surprised, but prefers not to insist, handing me the glass of liquor.

So I spend a fun night with my brother in that bar, and even though I dance and drink as much as I want, no matter where I am, I keep thinking about him, that mysterious man who was so handsome that he took my breath away.

But I couldn't find him, he seemed to have vanished in the middle of the crowd and the neon lights.

I run my hands over my face. I look at myself one more time in my bedroom mirror, my cheek has a nasty bruise on it. My dad hit me yesterday, Diana told him I was flirting with her boyfriend, that I want to take everything she has, of course it was a lie, f*****g b***h.

Half an hour ago we came back from the club with my brother, I had the best time with him, but I cannot stop thinking about that man. The look in that guy's eyes disturbed me, those golden eyes that wouldn't budge from me, I should stop being so worried.

I go to bed after a few minutes, tomorrow will be a long day, not only because I have to do all the house chores, but because tomorrow is my stepsister's birthday party, the best for daddy’s princess, for sure all the people of the pack will come.

Thinking about how much fun the whole night was and the things I have to do tomorrow, I close my eyes trying to sleep. However a loud noise brings me back to my senses, opening my eyes with a start and looking out into nothingness.

Rubbing my eyes a little sleepily, I picked up the clock and looked at the time, it's two o'clock in the morning, what was that loud noise in the living room?

Feeling worried, thinking it might be someone from my family who had fallen or been injured in the dark, I stand up from the bed and walk out of my room quickly.

What if it's an intruder? No, it's impossible, that never happens in my pack, this is one of the safest places to live.

“Dad, is that you?” I open the door of the living room, looking into the darkness.

“Alice, leave!” I hear him scream.

Too late to react… My body is roughly slammed into the wall, and a large cold hand wraps around my neck, giving a small squeeze. The icy feel of that heavy hand sends shivers through every tiny muscle in my body, I gasp frightened, and uselessly I try to pull it away, but it feels like a concrete hand.

The lights come on as if by magic, and I stare at the scene in horror. My stepmother is on the floor with a trickle of blood in her mouth, my dad and Jason are tied up in silver chains, and Diana is being held by the neck by another of the men.

“You never told me you had a little sister before, Jason" One of those man speak, while he watches all of the pictures in the walls of the room: “She's cute.”

“Leave my daughter alone! I don't know what you want in my house, there's nothing of yours here, nothing belongs to you” My dad screams.

“I want revenge…”

Then when the tallest and most muscular of these intruders turns in my direction, I freeze, smelling that sour fresh lemon scent again.

It's that man... Black hair and mysterious golden eyes, he's even wearing the same fancy suit stained with the liquor I accidentally threw at him, what's this guy doing here?

“Alpha…" growls my brother: “She has nothing to do with this, so let her go, finish me if you want to hurt someone, but not her…”

He stares at me, so hard I feel like he's going to gouge my eyes out and make them bleed. Sensing the danger, I try to fight even harder with the man holding my neck so tightly, struggling to get him to let go, watching as the mysterious man from the bar slowly approaches me.

"Why do you sound so scared Jason?" asks the man of the bar, looking sideways at my brother, "I'm not going to hurt her, why would I hurt my Luna?"

An awkward silence falls across the room, as the man's eyes return to fix on me.

"Alpha, what are you talking about? Who is your Luna?" Jason asks, his voice trembling with fear.

"Isn't it obvious? Your dear sister is mine" He replies confirming my worst fears.

I am the mate of the alpha of the pack? But how? I thought the alpha had lost his mate years ago in a tragic event, that's what everyone says, since he lost her he was never interested in another woman. How can I be his new mate?

"Now that we have this awkward situation cleared up, I want to ask you a question," says the alpha looking even more threatening: "I want you to speak honestly, which one of you was the bastard who dared to hit my Luna's cheek?”
