~ Athena’s POV ~
Is this how I am going to say goodbye to my second life? The unnamed Alpha was glaring at me, but I tried to maintain my composure. I have faced the worst, so what more he can do, right? I need to put a brave face in front of him or else, just like everyone else, he will also mock me. I glanced at the ground, as I still didn’t have enough courage to look into his eyes. Yes, I get easily scared, but is there anyone who isn’t scared of dying? I might have gone through death, but I don’t want to go through the same pain again. I know that there are a lot of things that I will have to go through to get my revenge from those who once hurt me, but for that, I need to be a little bit patient.
The man looked straight into my eyes and I just looked here and there as I was not able to breathe properly.
“What did you just say, little one?”, he asked, and he tipped my chin up and his gaze met mine.
Why does he keep calling me little one?
I know that I am not that tall and all, but there is still some time left for me to grow up.
“Stop... stop calling me little one, you cold-hearted jerk”, I told him in a stuttered tone, but instead of getting angry at me, he just smiled.
Why is my heart pounding so much? The guy then moved a little closer and after that, he trailed his fingers down my neck, making me shiver in ecstasy. How can someone make me feel so restless? I can’t be that lewd now, can I? How can someone’s mere touch make me feel in this way?
“Take Ella back to the car, Dylan. I want to give a departing gift to our not-so special guest”, he ordered the guy, and he just nodded his head.
Ella was gazing at me and I knew that she must be loathing me inside her head. She wanted to fly like a free bird, but because of my cowardice, she was again put up in that cage.
“I don’t want any sort of gift from someone like you. If you seriously want to gift something to me, then let your sister decide her future and stop getting in her way of happiness. You are an Alpha, so you might not understand her pain and her struggle to get freedom. I might be scared of you, but I won’t succumb just because of your identity. You must have everything in your life and that’s why...”, before I could complete my words, he just punched hard at the trunk of the tree and I immediately shut my eyes.
What just happened? Why did he react in this way?
Before I could ask him anything, he just grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head. What the heck is he doing? Should I yell for help? Nah, this is a deserted place. No one is going to hear my voice, so what exactly should I do to escape from his grasp?
Suddenly, he pulled me closer towards him while he turned me around. My back was now facing him and he just embraced me in his arms. I could feel his hard chest and his warm breath fanning over my neck. I tried to remove his arms, but I failed.
“Let go!”, I yelled, but he just pulled me closer towards him and now the tip of his nose was touching my neck.
“Say another word and the next thing you will know will be that it won’t be just my nose touching your neck, little one”, he whispered in my ear in his deep, husky voice.
What does he mean by those words? I tried to resist some more, but he was right as now it was not only his nose touching me, but I could also feel his bulge against my ass, which was enough to scare the s**t out of me.
“The more you get scared of people, the more they will try to crush you”, I mumbled to myself while I tightly clenched my fists. This is something that my parents used to tell me all the time. My father always made sure that I trained as he believed that she-wolves are no less than any werewolves, but because of my unwillingness and Fiona’s suggestions, I always skipped my training as she told me that guys only like women who are feminine and not someone who is a tomboy, so I crushed my father’s hope for the sake of that bastard. She told me that if I did train like everyone else, then I would gain muscles and then Ryan would not even look at me. I don’t know why, but in my naivety, I just believed her words. I let down my parents because of those people plotting against me and I will make sure that they will bloody pay for it.
I lost myself in becoming someone else. I became someone whom I thought would be worthy of Ryan, but in that process, I lost my real self. Not being feminine enough according to those people doesn’t make me a tomboy. That’s something that no one can decide. I have realised many new things in this new life of mine and I am sure that there are still lots of things that I will discover on my path.
I stopped moving as his bulge was poking my back and I didn’t think that I would be able to take it anymore.
“What happened? Why are you not resisting? Come on, resist some more. Weak things like you can be easily broken, so never forget the little strength of yours and that someone like you can never win against me”, he again whispered in my ear, and this time he turned around and now my face was facing him while his lips were almost brushing mine.
He again pushed me towards the trunk of the tree and this time, he pressed his lips against mine again before I could say anything to him. He deepened the kiss, making me moan with pleasure.
He then sucked my neck and I just covered my mouth as I didn’t want him to know that he was having some sort of effect on me, but why is he doing all this stuff with me?
His hands squeezed my left bosom and I just looked at him with wide eyes.
At this rate, I might give in to my temptation. He tried to lower the fabric of my blouse while his other hand was moving all over my sensitive areas.
He is a shameless Alpha. How can he do all these things with a random stranger?
“Don’t get me wrong here, little one, but your scent... it’s intoxicating and I am not able to hold myself back. I will pay you well if you satisfy me. You do know that love and lust are two different things, right? For me, this is pure lust, as there is nothing like the love that exists in my heart. I am born to destroy things and you are just my new target”, he said those words in between his rough kisses. He has ignited some sort of burning sensation inside me and this is dangerous for me.
I do know the difference between love and lust. Why does he think that I will have any sort of expectations from the likes of him?
He is right. I can’t win against him using strength, so I will have to use my brains. I placed my hands over his face while I gently kissed him on the side of his neck, which made him harder than before.
“I knew. I knew that you would be no different, but don’t worry, I will give you a huge amount for taking care of my rock hard member”, he said to me with a smirk, but for some reason, he looked kind of disappointed in me. Well, even after that, he didn’t stop pressing himself on me. He even slid his hand under my brassiere while he started to fondle my bosom.
What the hell am I doing? Am I seriously enjoying his touch? The pleasure that I am getting from his mere touch is seriously affecting me and it is also destroying all my reasoning.
He groaned in pleasure when I sucked his neck. He rubbed his hard member against me which was enough to make me shudder. This is the right time. I immediately bit his earlobe with all my might and after that, I pushed him hard on his chest.
I dashed towards my car while I left him writhing in pain. His ear was bleeding, but I know that it will heal quickly as he is the Alpha of his pack and that makes him immune to these little attacks.
I got time to escape from that place, so I just ran towards my car without even looking back.
“I am not showing my back to my enemy, father. It’s just that I can’t stand that guy and his alluring eyes. It makes me yearn for him and, at the same time, I forget everything around me because of him. So, I am just taking the safe route by not standing in his way. I will try to maintain a safe distance from him”, I mumbled to myself while I drove away from that place.
I might have failed to save Ella, but to help someone, I need to help myself first. I glanced at the rear-view mirror only to see his marks on my skin. I hope that this is the last day I meet that insane guy. How can he talk with me in that way? Even though I am the daughter of Alpha, unlike him, I am not that haughty over my bloodline.
Suddenly, I heard Fiona’s smartphone ringtone. When I turned around, I found that her phone was kept in the back seat of the car. She must have forgotten it here, but who is calling her?
I am finally away from that damn place. I pulled over from the car as Fiona’s phone was continuously ringing. I stretched a little backwards to pick up her phone from the backseat. The moment my eyes fell on the name flashing on the screen, I answered the calm without thinking for a second.
“Everything is set for today’s party, Fiona. You just need to bring that b***h to the party and then we will have a little fun with her. You are going to fall in love with me all over again just by seeing my performance today at her party. Oh, I am coming to meet you at the club, so I will tell you the rest of the things at the club, alright?”
I ended the call without giving any reply to that person, as he was none other than Ryan.
So, they have planned something for me. Well, now I even have a little surprise for them. Let’s see how they will react to today’s party. My eyes again fell on the rare-view mirror and this time, I saw something weird near my lips.
Wait!
Why is there blood around the side of my lips?
This must be that crazy Alpha’s blood.
~ Hayden’s POV ~
I saw the back of the girl when she was running away from me. I can’t believe that I have seriously lost control over my emotions. I tried to get up from the ground, but the way she bit my earlobe is quite commendable and I am happy that she does know a little about self-defence. Well, she must have pushed me away to gain my attention, as I have seen a lot of women trying this same technique of playing hard to get with me, but in the end, they just end up in my bed.
I touched my earlobe and when I saw the tips of my fingers, I saw blood. I need to find her at any cost or someone might use her against me. She has a sharp tongue. Initially, I thought that she was a scaredy-cat, but I must agree that she is a wild one. It’s funny that she was not scared of me as most of the time all the girls just trembled after hearing my name. She did say a lot of things to me, but those silver eyes of hers stopped me from harming her.
Dylan rushed back to help me to get up from the ground and I just laughed. My wounds started to heal on their own as I am the strongest of my kind.
“What...what happened to you? Don’t tell me that you have suddenly developed a soft corner for that ill-mannered girl? If you desperately want her, then I will find her for you. Just give me a few hours and you will find her standing by your side. Let’s go and call your father as he is getting quite impatient to talk to you. He must have found a new mate for you. He is surely not going to give up until you settle down with some fragile she-wolf who will give birth to your heir”, said Dylan in a calm voice while he was trying to hide his smile.
Settle down?
Nah, at least not for now, as the moon goddess has surely gifted me a unique mate who successfully gained my interest and this is surely not good news for her.
