IN BETWEEN THE ALPHA, BETA, AND THE PLAYBOY

Help Me

FILLIPA'S POV

Upon reaching my uncle's office, I raised my hand, musing on whether to knock or not when my uncle's ugly voice resounded in my ear and had me biting my lower lips and clenching my fist to suppress my fear. "Come in."

I walked into my uncle's luxurious office, and I saw my uncle sitting behind the alpha's table with an eyeglass lying on the bridge of his nose even though he didn't need it. We werewolves have sharp and clear vision, don't we?

Luna Anabelle was sitting next to him with her face caked with makeup as usual, while rubbing his lap with her hand sensually, "Alpha, Luna." I saluted.

Both of them ignored my greeting like usual, but this time there was a sinister smile on Alpha Henry's face which made my stomach churn. I unconsciously took a step back.

It can't be that Alpha Henry was cooking a wicked plan like asking his guards to throw me into the Red Mist forest where the rogues are to 'train' me or asking me to be injected with an amount of wolfsbane again, so I can be 'resistant' to it, can it?

"So tomorrow will be your 18th birthday..." Alpha Henry said, making me freeze.

Honestly, I thought he'd be raising my lateness issue but what surprised me most was him acknowledging my birthday.

Ever since my parents died, no one had ever greeted me with a happy birthday. It was as if my day never existed.

"Which means you have come of age." My uncle continued with that smile on his face.

My smile also grew; finally expecting him to say that one word he promised me when I was of age.

It's time. It's time to get my throne…

"And since you're nothing but a wastrel to the pack, I've decided to sell you to Alpha Hudson." He said, which made my eyes widen in shock.

"What? Are you kidding?" I yelled unconsciously, filled with shock.

I couldn't believe that he had just called me a wastrel when I've been in charge of the total workload of the pack, ever since my parent's death.

As if that wasn't enough, he had just announced that he'd be selling me off, which means he's kicking me out of my pack before I inherit my throne.

Not only that, he just declared selling me to Alpha James.

Who's Alpha James? Alpha James is the Alpha of Mystery pack who was rumored to be a bald and potbellied ugly man with a weird fetish.

Not only is he older than my uncle, but all the women who were sold to him are rumored to die one way or the other in less than a week.

How can it be that it was that useless person Alpha Henry wanted to sell me to, especially when I may come across my mate tomorrow?

How can he be so cruel to me? My heart broke at the thought that my family who should protect me were now the ones scheming against me.

I finally shed off the demure attitude I have been acting all this while and stood my stance, "Never! I refused to be sold or married. Tomorrow is the day I come of age which means I can officially be the next owner of the Red Flame Pack like my parents will, I won't accept this."

Even though my body was shaking, I tried to stay firm in my position. I was trying not to appear like a scaredy-cat despite the tears wanting to roll down my eyes.

BANG! Alpha Henry suddenly banged the table hard, which caused me to jump. He glared at me hard which made me gulp in fright.

"You want to be the next owner of the red flame pack, you worthless b***h?" He articulated with anger, and before I knew it, he grabbed me by the neck and threw me across the room.

A bang resounded in my head as soon as my head came into contact with the brick wall.

I stifled the groan that threatened to emit from my lips, but my uncle wasn't done. His eyes bore at me, signifying his rage.

Alpha Henry still wanted to be the current king, so my words should have penetrated and threatened him.

"Originally, I owned the red flame pack, so it's time to return my throne to me," I replied coldly even though my body was trembling in fright.

My body was now hurting, but I seemed to hear my late parents' words resounding in my head, 'be firm when necessary,' which helped in firming my stance.

"This b***h!" Luna Anabelle shrieked out and tried to slap my face, but I was done with this family, so I grabbed her hand stopping her actions.

"Aunty, I'm the princess. It's against the rules." I spat out coldly and threw her arms away harshly.

Returning to my original self, made me feel so good that my lips curled up.

Luna Anabelle's face reddened with anger, but she didn't try to slap me anymore.

I turned to my uncle, but before I could say anything Alpha Henry began to laugh loudly, a deep wrenching, and sinister smile that made goosebumps rise on my skin.

"Oh. Right, you remind me. As stated in your parents' will, you should take over the position once you're at the age of eighteen. And I guess you've been expecting it to be that way, but that's if you're in the pack. No, if you are alive." Alpha Henry sneered and completed with a laugh.

Chills ran down my spine, and now I began to feel terrified because I had the instinct that my uncle was about to do something wicked to me.

"What… What did you plan to do?" Even though I tried to act calm I ended up stuttering, my palms clammy with sweat.

"Well. I think I made a mistake in my plan to be exact. Giving you to Alpha Hudson is simply giving my enemy the chance to take my place. I think I need to make a change of plan." Alpha Henry revealed, his sinister laughter echoing in the office.

My heart began to thump against my chest; I felt at a loss, yet I had a weird premonition that something bad was going to happen soon. "Uncle. What did…"

"Guards." Alpha Henry voiced out in a booming voice and six guards rushed in.

Alpha Henry pointed to me with an evil smirk on his face, "Take her to Yellow Mountain." He declared.

My heart was racing more than it had ever done. Sweats were trickling down my body, my stomach churning. I quickly stood up with a trembling body.

"Why am I going to… What did you want to do to…" Before I could complete my word, I felt a hit at the back of my head which made me blackout immediately.

"Idiot." That was the last word I heard my uncle say.

"Finally, we'll be able to rid this bratty princess of the pack. Alpha mentioned that if we do the task well, he'll reward us enormously." One of the guards' statements woke me from my slumber.

I opened my eyes to darkness which shows that I was out for a long time. I tried to move but my hands and feet were chained in place, making me unable to do so.

The grinding of wheels against rock and dried leaves filled my ears, and dried hays pressed my skin.

Judging the suffocating and enclosed space, I realized I was in a carriage that was probably used for dumping trash and hay while I was led toward Yellow Mountain.

"Even though this is wrong, I'm in for the money." The other guards mumbled, and the first guard chimed in, "Me too."

"Poor princess. Had it been she knew, she would have kept her shut and gone to Alpha Hudson. At least she'll have a sense of existence there if she doesn't provoke him. Now, she had no choice but to die in Yellow Mountain, her favorite place." The first guard said which made my eyes.

Suddenly, the temperature seemed to drop, which made me shiver with cold. My stomach churned, and I tried to process everything that I just heard.

Because I insisted on taking charge of the pack, my uncle decided to wipe off my existence by ordering his guards to throw me down the cliff late in the evening.

He had purposely chosen Yellow Mountain because I loved to visit there.

And if I was reported to fall off the cliff, no one would trace the event to my uncle. They'll think I'm careless or rather choose to commit suicide.

Even though I had always known my uncle and his family held traces of wickedness in their blood, I didn't expect him to kill his blood, all because of the throne.

I began to struggle tightly. I wanted to scream for help but because of the gag in my mouth, I wasn't able to let out any noise. My eyes began to drip with tears as I struggled.

I don't want to die. Not so soon.

I've walked through endless torment after my parents' death with the hope that I'll continue their legacy, Please not now when it's about to be mine.

Although the carriage began to shake due to my actions, it wasn't enough to untie myself or break out of the wooden carriage. I gritted my teeth and slammed my body against the carriage once more, hoping to escape from the evil claw of death

.

"f**k. That b***h is awake. Let's hurry up before we alert any pack members. She mustn't escape." The guard cried out and there was a change in the carriage speed immediately.

Despite the rocky slope of the yellow mountain, the speed of the carriage continuously increased until it suddenly came to a stop which signified that we were at our destination, the top of the cliff making my heart sink.

The carriage door flung open and the two guards with bulky bodies stared at me with annoyance which made my heart race with fear.

Tears were now streaming from my eyes, and I was shivering unlike myself; my panic was written in my eyes, "Please. Please let me go and I won't return to the pack anymore. I'll simply change my name and live as if I never existed. Don't kill me please." I pleaded amidst tears and hiccups.

"Princess Filippa, how can we do that? Alpha promised to pay us one million wolvese notes each, can you do that, no?" The first guard muttered with a grin that made my heart fall.

"Besides, as long as you're alive you'll continue to pose a threat to Alpha Henry which we can't allow so because of that we have to bid you goodbye." The other guard replied.

I parted my lips in the hope of convincing them once more, but before I could, one of the guards dragged me out of the carriage and pushed me down the cliff without warning.

"Ahhh!!! Help me." Those were my last words before I blacked out.
