The Alpha Prince's Redemption

Car Trunk

Nalya's pov

When the trunk opened, my heart was pounding in my chest, and I shut my eyes, trying to tame my heartbeat. The scent of that alpha invaded my nose. I didn't know how I recognized it, but I did. It was enticing to me, and I inhaled deeply.

"Is she dead?" I heard a soft feminine voice ask.

"No," that voice sounded familiar. It belonged to the alpha. It was low yet dominating and oozed power, sending trembles down my spine.

"How did she get in our trunk?"

"Should we take her back?"

My eyes immediately shot open at the mention of taking me back, and two cold blue ones were staring right at me. Despite being cold, his unwavering gaze did something funny to me, and my cheeks reddened.

Had any man looked so beautiful, I thought. I watched as his chest rose and fell, and my heartbeat skyrocketed once again as we watched each other intensely.

" Take my hand, darling."

I tore my gaze from the alpha when the female with honey-colored skin and beautiful curly hair extended her hand towards me, helping me out of the trunk. She wiped my hands with a white towel.

"Thank you," I whispered.

"Why were you sleeping in the trunk?" she asked, and her friendly face alleviated my anxiety.

"I didn't know what else to do. I don't know the roads that lead to the nearest train station," I admitted, looking at my hand.

"Kid, are you going home? If you wanted a ride, you could have just asked?" the man I met at the mansion earlier said.

"No, I'm running away from home," I told him.

"Obviously," the god-like alpha gritted his teeth. " But why?"

"My family wants me to marry an old man for money,"

A growl resounded from the alpha, and his companions looked at him. They were silent for a while. I heard that pack wolves can talk telepathically. They call it a mind link. They must be doing that now.

"How old are you?" The pretty lady asked.

"I'm seventeen years old,"

"She's a child," My eyes locked with the alpha; his smoldering gaze still left me in amazement, and my eyes landed right on his attractive lips, and a slight smirk appeared when he noticed my drooling. I shied away, my cheeks reddening.

"I'm Ella, that is Beta Nathaniel, but we call him Nate, and Mr. Grumpy over there is my cousin Alpha Prince Rhaegar," Ella said with a smile. My eyes widened at that last title. I heard of the alpha Prince of the werewolf race. He was an intimidating man, and his mere mention made people whimper in fear. He was the most muscular wolf! I couldn't believe he defended me earlier, so it's no wonder everyone acted in such a way at the mansion. I didn't know how to act around them now. These were powerful wolves of the domain. I was nowhere near their level!

"And what's your name, Kid?" Beta Nate asked. I was surprised by his gentle tone despite the stories of how inhumane the alpha Prince's beta was.

"N- Nayla Martin," a tremble followed my words.

"Lovely name. It suits you," Ella said gently. She looked back to Rhaegar and asked,

"What should we do about her?"

"Nothing," I answered quickly, " I am going to the station. I want to leave this place and stay with humans."

Prince Rhaegar scoffed, and I glanced at him. He was once again mind-linked with Beta Nate. Could he talk to me directly? No! It was probably for the best because when he did, my stomach fluttered, and I felt weak.

"Do you have anywhere in particular to go?" Beta Nate asked, and I froze. I didn't think so far ahead when I left. I knew humans lived in large cities.

"I'll decide later,"

"Kid, I can tell you haven't shifted in your wolf yet, and living with humans can be much more difficult than you think. You need to plan properly and how to earn a living," Nate informed me.

"Oh,"

"Do you even have money?" Ella asked, and I showed her my small fluffy purse.

"300 dollars,"

"Oh, she's pathetic," The Alpha prince exhaled, touching his temple as though he had a headache.

"She can stay at the pack as she plans, can she not, Rhaegar?" Ella asked enthusiastically. Her eyes were hopeful and shimmering like a child's.

"You want me to bring a rogue to the pack and endanger our people, Ella," Rhaegar said, glancing at me.

"Just look at her. Does that face look like it could hurt anyone?" Ella pouted, gently gripping my chin so Prince Rhaegar could look at me. However, he couldn't, for some reason, ignore my puppy eyes. At that moment, he didn't look so threatening, just a man. A GORGEOUS MAN

"We can't let her wander alone. She will get herself killed," Beta Nate reasoned.

"I can do anything you want," I said, maybe cooking or cleaning for them. For now, what was important to me was a safe roof over my head. Prince Rhaegar finally looked at me, intently this time. His gaze made me burn, and tingles erupted on my skin. How intense was he? And why was I feeling this way about him?

" Tame yourself, and wolf when you get one," the Alpha prince said, and Ella squealed in happiness and hugged me.

"I will, thank you," I smiled.

We entered the fancy black car. Beta Nate opened the door for me. I slowly got in, looking around. I don't think I'd been in such a car before.

I caught the Prince's curious gaze on me. I couldn't look at him, so I shifted my eyes to my lap but closed them when I realized I was wearing such a short dress.

"Give her something to cover her legs," Prince Rhaegar said, staring out the window. He clenched his fists and was breathing heavily.

Was he unwell?
