Chapter 8: Alpha Daniel

Allison’s POV

I had already been running for half an hour before I heard him in my head, telling me that he loved me all of a sudden!? I scoffed in my wolf form and kept going before closing my private link with him, the mighty Alpha of the valley.

My wolf wimped at the thought that we were abandoning our mate when he said he wanted us back, needed us, and was willing to go after me. I believed him that he would, and I didn’t get it. He had a new mate. I felt the pain of the rejection that night when I told him I loved him, but he couldn’t let me go, that selfish bastard. I was to suffer for existing like I had since I was born.

I didn’t even slow down my pace when I finally found my way through the pack border. I was a rogue now. I may be an ex-mate to an Alpha, but that didn’t change the fact that I was now a threat to every pack in the world, and they would do everything in their power to kill me to keep the hierarchy in order.

I had never been this far out, especially by myself, and I was beginning to lose my courage as I still felt the tug of the bond of my pack; even if they hated me, used me, and treated me like shit, I still felt like I was supposed to be there, with them… I started to slow down, coming out in a clearing from the never-ending forest between me and my freedom.

My ears were full-on flat, and I turned around, looking back at my pack’s territory; maybe I should go back. Daniel seemed really angry, and an angry alpha was dangerous to his pack and me… I suddenly shook my head in disbelief.

What the hell was I thinking?! Why should I turn around? They hated me, glad I was dead somewhere in a ditch, and Daniel had his mouth on that blond whore, marking her in front of anyone that wanted to see it. I was glad I was in my wolf form; otherwise, I would have gagged at the thought of them being together.

I had stopped completely now, I was in full-on agony, and I didn’t even know why as I twisted around In the damp grass and let out small whimpers of pain from the unexpected sizzling, scorching feeling that was making my body.

Even this form completely had knocked me out, making it hard for me to even roll over on my feet again as I started to pick up faint noises around me. I clipped my eyes, knowing the danger of letting my guard down, maybe rogues coming to kill me.

It could even be Daniel finally deciding to end my misery, finish what he had started when I closed my eyes; maybe it was for the best. I was an omega, unwanted, rejected, and now a rouge without a purpose. Death would be kinder than the life I had in front of me.

More muffled noises were heard, and I opened my eyes when a dark, booming voice was talking to me; it was an alpha, but definitely not Daniels. I would have heard him in a heartbeat, starting to shift back from the never-ending pain in my stomach. I was so dead, exposed in my human form.

“Fucking listen, rogue! where the hell is the rest of you!?” I gasped, looking at the handsome Alpha staring me down, he was older but not less dangerous because of it, and I didn’t understand him. The rest of who? I was fucking alone out here, left to die.

“I’m alone, you jerk!” I spat the words in his face that were closing in on me with the black rolled-up attack mode the beast was showing me, but I wasn’t afraid of the strange Alpha. What could be possible to do to me that my own pack already hadn’t done and my own mate….my face got even more tense thinking about that handsome piece of shit. I hoped he burned in hell, he and that blonde whore.

“I thought you said she was an omega?” the strange middle age alpha backed away two steps, almost amused at my resistance like he hadn’t expected it.

“She is. Look at her marking. She is definitely an omega from the north side. I bet she’s a runaway from their pack.” A younger male answered the older Alpha, and I snapped my neck, looking at the one who answered, fuck, they had seen my marking when my wrist had been seen through the old torn fabric, my omega mark.

The older Alpha's eyes were intrigued as I was staring down. The younger version I imagined was his son looked the same, and I felt the aura around them. I could close my eyes and feel the pulsing power of the alphas.

“Fine, I’m an omega from the north. Just kill me. If that’s what you’re going to do, don’t waste my fucking time chit-chatting about it.” I almost sounded bored; maybe a part of me was, I knew the punishment for running, and it was death, plain and simple.

“Father, should I tell the Alpha of the north that we have one of his…. Members? The younger Alpha seemed to be disgusted with my presence as I laughed at his choice of words. I was never a member of that pack and was a slave.

“Tell him, or better yet, kill me, then tell him….” I laughed louder; it was a dry humorless laughter that felt as taunting to them that I had no respect for the Alpha’s statues. I had already claimed more than four death sentences since they found me.

“Don’t fucking tempt me, whore!” the younger one already had his claws out, looking furiously at me for not showing respect when I smirked back at him walking towards me when his father stopped him, obviously impressed for some reason that I couldn’t even start to understand.

“Now, why would we do that? You obviously want to die; I’m not going to give you a simple way-out omega….” The older Alpha had his arm crossed his muscular chest, looking even more sinister than his son, throwing me off balance for a couple of seconds. They had to kill me, and I refused to go back, never, no!

“Fucking kill me! I’m not going back!” I started to panic at the wolves around me, sweating like a mad woman, scratching my skin as the pain in my abdomen started to sizzle again. What the fuck was happing to me?!

“And, of course, she is going through the heat, perfect. The older Alpha was looking at the warriors around him, who all started to take an interest in me, looking restless as the older Alpha stepped up to me, whimpering.

I pain, what the fuck was happening to me?! I stared at all the wolves around me, with pitch-black eyes now. The younger Alpha stared at me with no emotion, like he was all beast and nothing else.

“don’t fucking touch her!” the older Alpha sneered at his warriors and son, that stopped dead in their tracks at their Alpha's command, obviously trying to fight it as I was panting in the unimaginable pain that ravaged my body up and down my stomach to the back of my spine, feeling like someone was kicking me repeatedly.

A loud growl was rippling through the air, and I looked at the older Alpha towering over me, almost like he was protecting me against his own men, and I had no idea why. He could just let them rape me for all he cared, and I was just an omega.

“Go home, now.” The older Alpha snapped his neck at his subordinate that all was moving away, not wanting to challenge the Alpha, the only one left behind was his son, the only one strong enough to resist the Alpha's command.

“Adrian, get the fuck home now, you have a fucking mate, remember that, she is not Love, just look at her, do you really want to fuck an omega?” his father’s voice was booming at the younger male that started to wake up from the trance that seemed to have engulfed his whole being, the beast taking over in complete control before his eyes became light green again and nodded at his father, grateful that he didn’t get the chance to have sex with me, a simple omega, gee thanks, man. I almost sneered at him when my pain started to subside again, and the younger Alpha sneered back at me before turning around and leaving me with his father.

“Thank you…” I sighted the words at the older man that was left in a fighting stance with his back against me as he turned around, showing me his pitch-dark eyes that swirled with desire at me with a smirk on his handsome face.

“don’t thank me yet, omega. You are not safe, not even with me. I’m fighting the heat that you are sending out, but it is strong as fuck. You are something else….” His eyes were still black when I quickly crawled away from him. The strength that I had left was almost minimal, making me an easy target for anyone right now.

“Please…. just kill me….” I was begging as the pain started again. His eyes swirled again, looking at me with those bestial predatory lust before shaking his head and leaving me from nowhere out in the woods as I screamed in pain from the then lower abdomen that was making me beg him to kill me as I was trying not to lose consciously, why the fuck didn’t he kill me!?

I was lying flat on my back, slowly blinking at the blue sky; it was almost morning again, I had been running since yesterday, and I was tired of everything, of my life, my pain, and my fucking mate, betraying me after he told me he loved me.

“I reject you, Daniel Turner… do you hear that, you selfish bastard? I hate you…. I whispered the words to the sky before blacking out.

Alpha Daniels POV

I was pacing around in my bedroom back and forth. I should be happier, given that I had gotten the most considerable territory.

I didn’t even have to marry that sniveling bitch locked up in one of the guestrooms, still crying over her dead father, bitch this is how our world worked.

We fought, and we killed over territory; if the older man was too weak, well… that was his problem, or maybe not being dead. All that…. ruffling my hair in frustration and letting a loud growl ripple out from my throat problems scaring everyone in the mansion shitless at my anger that poured out of every inch of my body right now. Ben had been inside my trashed bedroom, trying to talk me down. Still, I didn’t listen. I heard her.

Allison had opened the fucking link again, telling me something, I didn’t hear everything of it cause she was mumbling, but I definitely got the part of me being a bastard.

Her soothing voice made me calm for the few seconds I had heard it before going ballistic again inside my bedroom.

She had told me I was a bastard. I laughed at the thought. I had never heard anyone with their head left on their body call me anything like that, goddess of the moon. She was not an omega, my given Luna, and she would be by my side, even if I had to drag her hair back to me.

“Alpha….” I heard Ben’s voice as I snapped back at him, making my smile disappear in a heartbeat. I better be about Allison, and I didn’t even want to hear about some trivial shit right now.

“Speak.” I had an amount of respect for my Beta, my friend. He was one of the few who could talk back at me and hope to see the light of day again.

“We found her.” A smile spread across my handsome face. Finally, some fucking good news, I knew that she wouldn’t get far. She was a vital and fierce wolf, but I had a vast territory, and she was one wolf against my whole pack helping me.

“Took you guys long fucking enough; tell me, where is she?!” I was already trembling, ready to shift at a moment’s notice to bring back my mate, she wouldn’t see the outside of this mansion ever again if I had any say in the matter, and I did.

“Yeah, about that Daniel… she is in the southern territory…. And she’s in heat.” My whole body froze up, the cold, unused feeling of terrors trickling down my back. She was in fucking heat!

“FUCK!” I roared the words in the link, in the room, making it boom out over the mansion. I was probably heading down to the docks and outskirts of the village when I took up the only thing left standing, my bed, and flipped it before crashing into the wall smashing into splinters. I was so mad that I felt the shift taking over. My wolf couldn’t take it anymore. My mate was I heat defenseless against other males, probably being raped by some savage rogues or filthy Sotherns!

“Daniel! You need to calm the fuck down!” Ben’s voice was in my head as I just sneered at him. He was the first one I would kill if he even tried to talk me down. My beautiful mate was alone against all those dirty animals that would try to have their way with her, even if they wanted to. She was a Luna making her heat even more powerful, fuck!

“She is at the Alpha's mansion; apparently, he found her on the run. She’s safe.” I instantly relaxed at the words coming from my Beta, thank goddess, thank you, goddess! I was going to build a fucking shrine in her honor for saving my mate from filthy savages having her way with her. She was only mine to have.

I let out a small chuckle as I was starring down a broken mirror on the far side of the room, the shards showing me the strong muscular physics I had gotten from my own father; as soon as I got my hands on Allison again, I would mate her, she wasn’t going to be able to resist me going through the heat and then I would make her my Luna, officially, no more pack politics, if anyone had a problem with that, well bu-fucking-ho!

“What the fuck are you waiting for, Ben? An invitation? Let’s go get her. I said it snappy while starting to shift, only stopping to the sound of my betas calculated voice.

“They know how she is; it wasn’t that hard to figure out with the heat radiating from her, and… he didn’t have time to finish as I paced around my already trashed bedroom in wolf form, growling louder at my best friend.

“And fucking what?!” I already had enough patience; she was mine, and that was all that was to say about this ridiculous conversation between Ben and me.

“They want something, and I’m going, to be honest with you, man. You’re not going to like it.” I scoffed when the hell did. I like anything other than my calling as an alpha or my mate, my precious Allie.

“How much land does that cocksucker want for her?” I wasn’t even surprised that the old Alpha of the south was trying to get something for my mate. I would have done the same thing and might even have asked him to surrender his pack, and I knew that he knew exactly how much I was willing to sacrifice to get her back.

“Half.” One word from my Beta was all I needed to freeze on the spot I was pacing.

Half. I chuckled; it was one of those laughs I did when I was about to go full-blown beast. He was a cocky motherfucker. I give him that.

“And if I don’t give him that?” I had an amused, almost excited tone now. I knew what he would do. I had no illusions about the Alpha of the south pack. He was as vicious as he was brilliant. He had been in the game longer than me, but I was fucking cunning too, and he knew that on the few separate occasions, we had met.

Ben let out a heavy sigh as he was fully aware that I was only riling him up before going after the bastard to kill him with my bare hands or fangs; both worked.

“He drops he off in town, making every male within his entire territory fuck her during the heat.” I felt my blood boil at the thought of Allison being touched by some other male. If they laid a fucking hand on her, I would gladly massacre the entire population of the south.

Half my land. Did he know how fucking long I had to fight to get that? I growled; of course, he did! he knew how I was. He had probably already heard of me killing Sabrina’s father.

The thought of that bitch made me want to go and fuck her up, that conniving stupid blonde whore I almost had made my Luna. The idea made my stomach sick. In reality, I was ready to give up half, hell, even everything for my baby, but the other side of me, the beast that was my natural instincts of being territorial, snared at the idea of losing everything we had built during my years as an Alpha.

I started to shift back before answering. I wasn’t going full-blown into battle to the south to get Allison out, not that I didn’t want to. Every part of me was screaming for blood to be spilled for the respect that I hadn’t been shown or my mate; they better pray to the moon goddess that they would have treated her like the queen she was when I arrived.

“Well then, half. I said nothing more, staring down at my naked body before barking a command to have maids rushing through the door before blushing at the sight of their nude Alpha grinning that they had entered the room at his request.

“Yes, alpha.” Ben knew that I wasn’t giving up half my land, but I wasn’t stupid enough to believe that the Alpha of the south would respect Allison’s Luna statue to not fulfill his threat.

I laughed cold, heartless laughter making the maids jump at my dark, chuckling voice, making their blood freeze up in their veins. I was going to have so much fun killing that old bastard, but not before destroying everything he loved, just like he was having the only thing in the world that I cared about, my mate.

“Hold on, baby, I’m coming to get you, be strong, don’t let anyone touch what’s mine.” I cooed over the link. I knew she heard me. I was just about to walk into the bathroom to get all the grim off my naked body when I heard that sweet, delicate voice answer me back, making my heart stop and restart simultaneously.

“Help me, Dan…” I wither my knuckles as I sucker punched the white tile shattering it all around me to the screams of maids. I’m coming, Allison. Hold on, baby.
