Chapter 11: Alpha Daniel

Allison pov

I stared at the door, shocked when it flew open and scared me off the bed. The fighting had stopped, but I was still nervous about my heat taking over; if any male smelled me and decided to let their beast take over, I was fucked for sure, quite literally!

I felt anger rush inside me, making me confused if it was my anger or Daniels. Since he was so close, a big part of me wanted to find him. The primal instinct that wanted to get to my mate, but the other part, the human side, the logic inside of me, wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. He had marked another female or tried to, I don’t know… and every part of me, beast and human, hated that; it was the only thing we would agree on!

I took a few hesitating steps toward the open door, and I didn’t hear or smell any guards before peering out of the room that had been my jail for the last two weeks. I looked confused at the long corridor of the obviously rundown house. I mean, it was better than my basement any day. Still, if this was the man building, the pack house, the Alpha didn’t seem to care about his facilities, not like that fascist of a mate that I had!

I had already started running at a half pace down the corridor downstairs, looking for the way out, when a sudden pain made me double over. I cried out, clutching onto the railway, making marks from my already turned hands having long claws at the end of the tips when I begged for mercy in my head. I didn’t need this, too, fucking heat! I was glad that the place seemed abandoned, or else I would get a lot of unwanted attention I didn’t need.

Daniel.

I felt him.

He was divided, angry, and confused. I didn’t even realize I had started to drag myself up from the step of the stairs again when the pain finally subsided.

I needed to get out here. I didn’t want any part of this! Alphas and their damn power play at each other; if that dickhead that saved me from being raped from his pack thought I had any alliance with him, he was insane!

My only alliance was with myself…. And my mate… I gritted my teeth at my own confession… stupid mate bond was making me all mushy on that arrogant, sexy bastard that was supposed to be my mate. I know I told him to reject me. Still, it seemed he didn’t have to try to kill me just for leaving him.

I sighed when I saw the door, and I already felt the pull of him. I don’t even know. I tried to resist it by opening the front door to this runty town and walking out even more irritated than before.

The pain in my stomach still left a faint trail of pain inside me, letting me know whatever the heat was doing to me was far from over.

I definitely wasn’t in the pack house; this part of town seemed to look like the omega quarters, the one no one cared about back home.

I didn’t see anyone, everyone hiding from the radiant powers of Alphas that were luring me in further, like a moth to the flame. I guessed when I didn’t just feel one Alpha, there was more than the older Alpha that kept me here and my mate… I looked around suspiciously but still didn’t see anyone as I paced the gravel road between the hoses, following my instincts. Something was terrible, just awful, as my whole body was tense. I felt my beast wanting to take over and shift. She felt as aggressive as Daniel right now when I turned the corner and saw him.

Holy mother of the moon!

I had almost forgotten just how handsome he was!

Standing there in a stance with the older Alpha, his Beta behind him looking grim, and two warriors making nervous twitches just waiting for the word to start tearing heads.

Green eyes gleamed with anger, and that hard, ripped body towered over his peers, flexing his muscles without even knowing what I did to my breathing. I already felt hot and bothered by just looking at him. He looked like a Greek God, a perfect being from the moon goddess, a fucking movie star standing in this absolute shithole of a town!

The dark brown caramel curls pushed back from his face, the hard jawline clenching slightly at something the older Alpha had just said.

I wanted to get closer, curiosity taking over me and the pull of my handsome, awful mate whose scent was drenching my senses in a way I had never felt before, not even before he left me to mark that whore.

He was conflicted, and I heard the sentence that made me stop for the moment I heard it.

The land or the girl.

I gulped hard as I looked at that determined face of his. Why did it hurt so much knowing he would never give up his land for me? I could even feel it inside of me, with my heart breaking all over again. He couldn’t.

I wanted to laugh, but I couldn’t do anything, and I had no tears either. I know there was no use in crying to him. He was as cold-hearted as I remembered. I mean, who else rejects their mate right after telling them that they loved you?!

I closed my eyes, disappointed. I was glad I was here to see him, reminding me of his true colors. My heart and the mate pull making me long for him had corrupted my head and heart again…

That unfeeling bastard.

He should have left me here! Why did he even try to barter for me when I always knew that an Alpha never gave up their territory, not even for their mates!

I was hurt and angry, not caring about reason, when I stormed the last part towards the high and mighty prick they all were. He finally saw me, the green emerald eyes telling me he was first of all shocked that he didn’t even notice my smell since we were mates and the guilt over the decisions he had already made.

I scoffed when I walked past him, the annoying Beta and warriors standing next to the older Alpha. I didn’t give a fuck about his guilt!

“Allison, don’t…” he linked me when we still hadn’t said a word staring down at each other. The older Alpha seemed pleased, and I rolled my eyes internally. He was a fool if he thought I had chosen him over my mate. I wasn’t planning on staying in this shitty pack being someone’s forced mate, and I was going to leave as soon as Dan thought I had chosen another alpha over him.

I smirked. The pain inside me made everything feel better; it was fucking delicious, inflicting the same pain on him as he had done to me, marking that little blonde over me!

“No need to choose, mate, I wish to stay, and you can live your days happily ever after with that skank you call Luna.” My smirk grew as his eyes narrowed, making them swirl with blackness inside the otherwise forest-green color. He was fucking furious now and had already started to reach out to grab me when a loud growl ripped through the otherwise empty, silent town.

“Touch her, and I will gladly slaughter every one of you men in a heartbeat, Alpha. The older Alpha at my right sneered at Daniel's furious face that turned even more savage at the other male threatening him about touching his mate.

“She is my fucking mate! Don’t you dare threaten me, Alpha Rick! You have no idea what I’m fucking capable of!!!” Daniel's growling dark voice booming over us, making me flinch for a second, making my hand go up to my neck, feeling the scar after his fangs had torn through my soft skin, and I shudder involuntarily at the memory from fear and being a bit turned on to my own shame, he was still my male. My wolf wanted nothing more than to be with him, even If he was a fucking monster.

“Luna Allison, please, he loves you, don’t trust Alpha Rick. He’s not what he appears to be.” An unfamiliar voice filled my head, making my eyes snap to the Beta, that didn’t even look at me, his eyes fixed on the other Alphas, ready to defend his own at any given moment.

I looked at Daniel instead, who seemed to notice my fear, feeling it inside of him, making him back down from the raging madness going rough his mind, wanting to shift, making ripples throughout his muscular body.

“I’m not your Luna, and I know he loves me. I don’t care anymore, and I know he never will give up half his land just for me.” I linked back to the Beta I didn’t even know the name of. So much for being Daniels Luna.

“Well then, Alpha Daniel, it seemed that you didn’t have to make a choice, I’ll be keeping your female, and she will become Luna of the southern pack with me as her mate.

The older Alpha, Rick as his name seemed to be, had a big grin on his face, and I snapped my head to my surprise at the smirking bastard. My beast was growling, pacing in my head at the thought of someone other than our mate touching us, mating us!

I was already sick to my stomach at the idea of Alpha Rick being my mate, having to be his Luna. I would rather die!

Daniel shifted. He seemed to have had enough of this conversation. The huge bear-like wolf in front of me snarled at the now alerted party of alphas, the son of Alpha Rick already shifting, itching to get revenge on the rival male in front of him.

Actually, all of them were beasts now. Only I have left as a human watching the aggressive stance they all were making, ready to attack at moment’s notice when I sighted and shifted as well, knowing were well that it wouldn’t help a thing since they were Alphas and didn’t give a shit about my opinion on the matter.

I walked right in the middle of their standoff and put my ass down, ignoring the angry growls from every Alpha in the area.

“Get the fuck out of the way, Allison. I’m going to kill this motherfucker for even thinking about touching you!” Daniel’s grunt beast voice echoed through my head, making it almost hurt with all the commanding alpha tone he was using.

“Are you fucking crazy! You’re outnumbered and alone. How the hell are you going to take out the Alpha of the south with three men behind you?! It's fucking suicide!” I screamed at him over the personal link, our mate bond providing privacy.

My wolf was sneering at him but not challenging when the big brown wolf huffed back, meeting those black eyes with my own. I huffed back, trying to make him see reason. I didn’t want to see him dead. The mate bond made me love him, and I couldn’t bear the pain if something happened to him, bastard or not.

I didn’t wait for the snarling alpha wolf to answer me when I turned my head, staring at the other big grey wolf, Alpha Rick, baring his teeth at the rival in front of him.

I could almost see his arrogant smile on my mind when he answered cooler this time like he had everything figured out when nothing was further from the truth.

“I’m not going to go down without a fight, and if Alpha Dick thinks his going to take my female away from me, he deserves death being a fucking idiot!!!”

“I’m not yours!” I screamed back at him, growling at the same time at the much, much bigger wolf in front of me. I wasn’t big or strong, but I was fed up being someone else’s tool or plaything. I was done, with him, with all the fucking alphas of the world!

“But you are sweetheart, and nothing will stop me from getting you back…guards, protect the Luna. I’m going to take this bastard down once and for all!” Daniel snapped at the two guards making their way beside me, pushing me back with their bodies. Alpha Rick and his son snarled to my whimper when Daniel sprang at them both with his Beta right behind him and the two guards still holding their ground by my side.

I don’t know how It had happened. Still, Daniel had the upper hand on Alpha Rick, pinning him down with his paws, about to make the killing blow when the younger Alpha latched onto his neck with his fangs making my neck dull with the pain I felt through the bond. I hissed at the numbing air that was throbbing like a motherfucker.

“Help the Alpha, you bastards!” I screamed at them over the link, and they obeyed immediately; to my surprise, these people used to beat me senselessly for just existing, and now I was their leader.

Both guards were tearing at the younger Alpha. Still, he was bigger, so much bigger than them both, and ripped right through them before I even had the time to scream if I had been in my human form when the blood splatted over my silver coat.

The younger Alphas eyes met mine. They were pitch black when I suddenly felt the pain strike me. Oh, fuck!

All the males had turned away from the fighting in one second and only focused on one thing.

Me.
