Alpha, save me

Past

- Where is she? Tell me where is Sang!

The panic written on Alli’s face was so obvious, that Luke couldn’t think about nothing else but to try to calm her down.

-Tell me! Where is my friend?

.

.

.

- Aaaaaaaaaaa ….

- Sang.

- Alli, Alli, … no please, no … Alli

- Sang I’m coming.

Alli jumped from the bed without caring that she was almost naked. She didn’t ask again where to find her friend, she just started following the screams. After couple of minutes she finally found the place from where Sang was screaming. Alli burst into the room, just to find her friend curled into a ball in the corner, covering her ears.

- Sang … baby … it’s me …

Slowly she approached her friend, trying not to scare her. Just as Sang was going to lift her head, Lukas entered the room, causing her to hide in her shell again. He slowly looked around himself and saw how devastated Nate seemed. Luke was understanding him, he too wanted to help his mate, to make the bad memories disappear, to make her smile, but at this moment, it was impossible.

Alli finally reached her friend and without second thought she took her in her embrace. Sang started crying like a little kid.

- It’s okay crybaby. Everything is gonna be fine now. You are save. … I promise you nothing like that is going to happen again.

After couple of minutes Sand was already calmed. She finally lifted her head and looked around herself. The first thing she saw was Nate. Unknown why, she felt really bad when she saw the way he looked like. It was like something inside her was making her feel like that. Slowly she stood up and headed to him. When she hugged him like a little child, she not only surprised herself, but Nate and Alli too.

- Thank you for saving our lives.

- You don’t need to thank me princess, I will do it again if it’s needed.

- … and sorry for scaring you … I shouldn’t have reacted like that when I woke up …

- You don’t need to worry about something like this.

With a smile on her face Alli approached her friend and placed her hand on Sang’s shoulder.

- You better now crybaby?

- Don’t call me crybaby. You know I hate this nickname.

- Yeah, I know, that’s why I always use it.

- Alli?

- What? … - she asked while giggling.  Let’s get ourselves something to drink. What do you think?

- I like your idea. … Nate can we have something to drink? … I know that it’s not polite to ask after everything, but …

- Of course that you can have. I already told you not to worry about anything.

- Come on you two, I will take you to the living room where we can have a glass of good whiskey.

With a mood, much better than before, the guys followed Luke to the living room. While walking, Alli couldn’t stop herself to look around. The paintings and the portraits were amazing, but also strange for her. There were many paintings of nature, but what caught her attention was one particular painting of four boys, at early age, standing beside each other with a very serious expression. One of the boys had these blue eyes. Strange she knew she had seen these eyes before, but she wasn’t sure where, when it hit her.

- Flashback -

- You stupid b***h. How dare you refuse to give blood? – Wh-tch, the sound of the whip touching her skin was awful.

- How dare you? – Wh-tch … wh-tch … again and again, her back was already burning, but she knew that he was not finished yet. The worst was yet to come.

- End of Flashback - 

Alli remembered her terrible past. But why this boy’s eyes reminded her of that man? It wasn’t possible. He was long gone. She made sure of it. … Alli shacked her head on the ridiculous thoughts that came to her. It was just not possible.

They entered the living room and the girls almost gasped in surprise. It was like the room was taken from a design magazine. The couches were black. With a glass table in front of them. On the other side of the room there was a marble bar counter surrounded by chairs. The room was painted in two colors – champagne and something between gray and blue. They headed to the couch when Luke’s phone rang.

- Moore on the phone. … Dixon? How can I help you? … What? … We are here and we’ll be waiting for you. … Okay … Bye.

- Was that Theodor?

- Yeah. He is coming with his wife and child. … They need help. Wake Tom up and tell him to prepare our men and to double the guards.

- Yes alpha.

...

- What is going on? - Sang asked worried. – And why do you call him “Alpha”?

- Uhhh …

- It’s how they call me here. You can say that it’s common way around to call your boss.

- Aha … I can sense there is something wrong here. Sang, we better go home.

- At the middle of the night? – Nate was starting to worry. – There are no taxies that can drive you home right now, and most of them don’t even know the way here.

- Nate is right, the mansion is outside of the city. Let’s wait till the morning and I will be the one to drive you to your home. Okay?

- … Sang? …

- Okay. Let’s wait till the morning Alli. I don’t want to get outside at the middle of the night, especially after yesterday.

- Fine. But as soon as the sun rises, we are going home.

…

Not long after their conversation, the door opened and a woman holding a newborn entered the house. There was a man walking behind her. Luke went to welcome them and leaded them to the living room. There Alli was sitting on the couch with a glass of whiskey in her hand. Sang was talking with Nate while pouring herself a glass too. When Luke entered the living room, they raised their heads to see who are the people coming in the middle of the night.

- No …. – the glass fell down to the floor, breaking into pieces. – No … that’s not possible … - said Sang while shaking.

At the first moment Alli wasn’t understanding why her friend was reacting like that. That’s when she saw him.

- Flashback -

Wh-tch, Wh-tch … he was beating her again. A 14-years old Sang was curled into a ball at the corner of the room. He was beating her again.

- You think you are something special? You are nothing!  - Wh-tch … - If it’s not for your blood you are worthless. Wh-tch …

Alli woke up, her entire body was in pain. Everything was blurry in front of her eyes. She heard Sang crying, begging him to stop. Despite the pain she stood up and ran to her friend covering her with her own body, trying to protect her.

- So, the little b***h wants to protect her precious friend. I assume the beating I gave you wasn’t enough. Alright, you are coming with me. – he said when he grabbed Alli for her hair and dragged her outside of the room. She knew what was waiting for her and she was terrified. She preferred to be beaten countless times, but not this.

He took her to the red room. That was his favorite room of all. It was giving him more pleasure than the beating. He dragged her to the middle of the room where the chains were hanging from the ceiling. He cuffed her and ripped her pathetic excuse of clothing. The smile of his face was showing how much he enjoyed to see the fear in her eyes. He took his favorite toy – leather whip. He undressed himself and started his torture. First it came the beating, but Alli was used to it, after that came the real nightmare. He came close to her, his eyes glowing with excitement, he penetrated her like every time. She was just hoping to end soon. Tears were falling from her eyes, but she made sure that no sound was coming from her mouth, because if she made even the tiniest bit of sound, he would become more violent. Each time he was enjoying himself raping her, that was his biggest pleasure.

After he was done, he dragged her to the common room, where all the kids were. He threw her on the ground and left the room. Sang went to her friend which was almost in unconsciousness.

- I’m sorry Alli. – she was apologizing while crying. – it’s my fault that he did this to you again. I’m so sorry.

- End of Flashback -

Alli was shaking out of anger and fear. It was impossible. He was dead. How the f**k he was standing in front of her.

- You son of a b***h. How the hell you are alive?

Without thinking Alli stepped up to him with the intention of killing. She curled her arms into a fist and aimed for his face. She wanted to knock him down before she can finish him. The punch caught Thomas off guard and he cursed himself. He wasn’t really hurt but he was surprised. Who is this girl and why is she attacking him? He pushed his wife into Luke’s hands and prepared himself. He was furious. Sang couldn’t allow her friend to fight alone and in a matter of seconds she was beside her. The two girls were fighting like one. They resumed the attack, but this time together. They were no match for the alpha. Tom saw the expression on his cousin’s face. He then heard it, it was just a whisper, but for the werewolves it wasn’t a problem. - Mate … Tom was shocked. A human girl to be mate to the strongest alpha living. That was like a joke. He decided to stop the pathetic so-called fight. With one hand he hit Alli in the stomach and with the other knocked Sang out. Sang fall on the floor in unconsciousness. By instinct Alli covered her friend with her body expecting the pain.

-Alli, are you okay? – Luke came to her.

She slowly raised her head only to see the surprised look that man gave her. Now when she was closer to him, she could see his face better. Slowly her eyes widened with wonderment.

- Holly s**t … you are not him … Jesus Christ … I’m so sorry, … I thought it’s him – were her last words before she passed out.
