Chapter 27: Alpha Daniel

Allisons pov

Darkness.

All I see is darkness, ever since the light died in front of me, touching me one last time before slipping away.

Daniel scolds me. I don’t even listen; I don’t even care anymore. He grabbed me by my neck again, eyes going pitch black with my feet dangling in the air, and I just looked at him. He could kill me already. I don’t even care anymore. I used to be afraid to die, but now, I feel like living here in this awful mansion with my mate going madder every day; I thought about it, just following my light. I bet it's beautiful where it is. I hope it's happy.

I hear him trashing the place up these days while Ben is acting like the Alpha. I don’t care about that, either, and I don’t give a fuck about anyone if I’m being honest.

Maybe I’m just as messed up as my mate. I can at least understand it, but he doesn’t, the arrogant bastard! I love him, but it's like we both snapped, and I should be afraid of what might happen, but I’m not.

I just walk around, and I know it, avoiding people's eyes at me like I don’t hear the whispers, I do; they are afraid of him, of me…. whatever we had, it's gone, and all I feel is nothing.

I’m just around when I hear Rema talking to someone, and I start to turn around. I don’t want to see anyone when I hear a girl's soft voice.

She sounds warm, and my curiosity peeks. I don’t know why but I can hear it; she really sounds like she cares about people, about the Rema. She sounds nothing like me.

I walk out, and the girl sees me, a tall, slender blonde; she’s cute, and my jealousy blows up from nowhere when she starts to ramble shit about someone. Is she Daniels’s lover? She’s blond, just like Sabrina was, and I feel my heart start to turn like it's being forced to be alive again. She can’t have him; he is mine!

I’m just about to let the big surge that I feel inside me release upon the terrified girl that looks like a girl more than a woman in my eyes. I was going to kill Daniel when I saw him again!

She holds out her hands like it’s going to be able to stop me. I know what I can do by now; the dead Gamma is more than proof that I am dangerous, and people know it!

“Allison, please, she’s just a girl….” I look at the Rema before lifting my hand, giving her a light shock, and making her pass out completely before I start to walk over her, scaring the girl shitless. She looks so pure. I used to be like that once before I met my mate, and everything went to hell.

“Please don’t, whatever you want, I leave her, he doesn’t have to know…” she’s not crying but wants to when I stop in my tracks and look up, and then I see them.

I gasp, my eyes going wide at the three bright lights above her, almost like they are guarding her. Feeling my hostility and I just stare at them.

They are beautiful.

I snap out of my daze. I can feel them making me calmer; I don’t even know what’s happening, but I just stop, the hurt, the darkness, its not as dark, it doesn’t hurt that much, the lights, they are giving me comfort, just orbing around here, the young girl with brown hazel eyes that looks at me still scared that I am going to hurt her.

She’s human…... I can sense it, and she doesn’t have any of Daniel's smell on her….no… I can feel another scent that I’m familiar with…... it's Ben…. faint, but I can feel the lights too, their life essence telling me that she is not Daniels’s whore, and I don’t have to kill her for it.

She is not even surprised when I tell her she will have three babies like she knows. I just sit next to her, and she pulls her slim arm around me, and I just lean into her, the lights surrounding us; this feels nice.

I know I’m asleep when I feel the tingles that come around my body, making me turn into the hard body that makes me feel safe again, it hasn’t for a long time.

My wolf feels it too, and she’s purring that she can finally sense her mate. He hasn’t been around for a long time, leaving me alone in the darkness.

When I wake up, he is there, holding his arms around me, and I make my way back, getting in closer, letting him engulf me with his scent and warm body that makes me want to turn around. Still, I don’t want to wake him up. I can sense that he is tired, and I’m tired too, tired of always fighting, always having to be on guard when I’m with him. I need to set this straight, once and for all, when he wakes up.

But, for now. I’m just going to be held by him and pretend that we are the happiest mated couple out there, with no trouble and no constant trace of death always following our trail.

“Allie….” He mumbles my name when I turn around the slightest and see his face. He is so handsome. I can’t sometimes believe that he is mine; if you forget about the part where he acts like a monster, sometimes he is the sweetest, caring guy you’ll ever find.

That’s the guy I love, not the raging beast that makes rash decisions and is a dick against everyone.

People in this pack. They just don’t understand him.

But I do, he is not in control of himself, and the beast takes over, more than just when he shifts. His nature as well makes him on edge and more erratic than he should be, and that’s why he needs me.

I turn around completely and stare at his sleeping face; its all smooth, not a sight line, and it makes me smile; I like seeing him this way, no worrying hard frown or darkness swirling in his eyes, no beast just waiting to come up and take over, just him, by Dan.

I feel my hand coming up to his face, and I just sweep my tips lightly across his face making him smile. He can feel the tingles, just like me, when I smile even more; it's nice just being in his arms and seeing that smile that he hasn’t used in a long time.

I close my eyes, just a few seconds, it's time.

I need to be stronger, rise from the darkness, and help him before we lose ourselves completely. I thought that I would survive and be better without him and that me pushing him away was the best for us, but no more.

I am going to be the fucking Luna of this pack, Omega or not, and I’m going to kill anyone that stands in my and my mates’ way.

Nobody will take me away from him or make me feel like I don’t belong.

“Allie?” Emerald eyes suddenly look at me, and I smile at them; they are the most beautiful thing I have seen, like real gems that sparkle when he realizes it’s not a dream, that I am here, right in his arms.

“I’m here, Dan.” He blinks several times, trying to wake up, and I just stroke my fingertips over his face again. He stops, realizing I have been here all along, just not awake.

“You are…. Don’t you leave me again, Allison…? Do you hear me?” he doesn’t sound commanding this time, just scared that I will leave him again, all alone in the world.

“I won’t, and you are never going to hurt me again; if you try, I will kill you, Daniel. Do you understand that?” he gets this strong guilt in his eyes. I know I’m serious; I’m not making any threats; it's just a fact, if he does, I’m going to do it, and then I'll kill myself.

“I’m so fucking sorry… I am…baby please… I can’t help it… I just…” I don’t want to hear it; I really don’t when he starts to talk like he knows that he is a fucking bastard, and a part of him is a beast, but he needs to learn to control it, just like me.

“You can, you can fucking control this. You are the one in charge, not the beast, you.” I make my voice deeper, serious and his lips tremble like he is about to cry when I put my hands on his face, holding him in my hands while staring into the bright green eyes that love me. I know he does.

“But I’m not… I’m really not… you have seen me, I’ve hurt you, more than once…. I did things… to Sabrina…. she didn’t fucking deserve it, and I did it anyway, I enjoyed it even….” He blinks and lets the first tears I have ever seen fall on his handsome face, coming over my hands, and I feel relieved for seeing regret in him. For the first fucking time since I meet him, he seems sorry, and that gives me hope.

“So, change that; make me see that you are not only a monster but my mate, the one that loves me.” I give him a faint smile and want him to try for us.

“I will, I swear it, Allison, I will try. I just don’t want you to leave me again.” He pulls me closer like it's possible, or breaths already mixed together. He smells so good, and he always has.

“And stop fucking trashing the décor. I don’t want to always live in a goddam junkyard...” I get a big grin this time when I say it scolding like he loves hearing me nagging him.

“Okay, I will stop destroying everything for you.” He nuzzles me, and I feel myself getting even warmer, that fuzzy feeling that’s almost strange inside me when I've been lost for so long.

I don’t answer this time, just lean in and kiss him, just lightly, making the tingles rush between us and I hear the purr from his beast, calling to mine, and I let my own beast out, the blackness swirling in my eyes, I’m not scared anymore when I see his eyes go black too, his beast submitting to mine, I never thought I see the day of an Alpha bending his will to mine. Still, he does, and I smile even more when his eyes go green again. We are going to be okay. I can feel it.

We don’t do anything more; just him and me lying in our bed is enough; when I close my eyes and he kisses my forehead, I love him so much.

“I got to go, baby, I need to talk to Ben…” he sounds calm like he is just going to talk to him, but I know better and give him a hard stare, like I know he is going over to yell at his Beta, I can feel it.

“I try to be nice, alright?” he kisses my head again when I just sight. That’s the word I was afraid he use, try.

I sit up and watch him go. He is going to be an asshole to Ben. I just know it…. I fall into the bed and just smell him; I want him to return.

“Meet me in the office when you are done. We are going to make things right from now on. Do you got that, Daniel?” he just opens the link, and that’s all I need to feel, that he has heard me and will finally listen.

I roll up and walk over to the long walk-in. Daniel is a snob, always in suits or expensive brands, and he is no better than any other alpha. He likes the finer things in life and the control of it, and I swipe my hand over the dresses he bought me and stop at one emerald green, and smile. That is the one.
