Chapter 13

Luke

I walked towards the pack house with Scarlett on my shoulder. I know in my heart that I shouldn't act like this with a human girl, but the one in my head is messing everything up and I can't blame him alone that in some part of my heart I wanted her too. I wanted her to see the real me without judging. It sounds silly, but it would be too good to be true for a human to let them know our identity without them hating us.

I still can't shake off the image of her being ripped off into pieces by that rogue.

I fought every fibre of my being not to think dirty, but my wolf was feeding me with the images of how she would look under my body. My palm itches to grab her as* It looks delicious. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Within a few minutes, I reached the pack house.

Questions me as soon as I set my foot inside the pack house. I narrowed my eyes at them as a growl emanated from my chest. They all went silent and dozens of pairs of eyes set on me, but I could feel that they were eyeing Scarlett. Another growl left my mouth and I clenched my teeth as rage built in me.

" What were you doing in there?" My father asked, glaring at the figure on my shoulder.

" Scar," I whispered her name loud enough for her to hear. She whimpered in my hold. The sound I heard was only of her muffled sob. I gently put her on her feet and the first thing she did was move away from me.

I saw how my mother immediately walked by her side and placed her arm around her shoulder to calm her down.

Her eyes scanned through the crowd and she slightly shivered. I can see she is terrified, knowing that she is standing in the middle of the werewolves. When her gaze fell on me, all I saw was pure hatred and disgust.

" I asked you something?" My father said, shooting daggers at Scarlett.

" I am here." I said, letting him know that she didn't do anything to deserve this kind of treatment from him.

" And for that question I have personal things to settle, that's why I was there," I said.

" Yes, I can see that very well," he said, eyeing Scarlett, like he would rip her off at any moment. I didn't like the way he was treating her.

" Don't treat her with disrespect. You may have been the alpha once, but I am here in charge and I won't tolerate any kind of disrespect towards my people,'' I said, clenching my first tightly.

" She is not our person. I might have shown her respect if her father hadn't betrayed us," he responded.

" And what respect are you talking about? Her father sold her for money. Goddess knows what kind of slutt she is, that her father can sell her that easily," he said with disgust dripping from his voice. His words snapped the last string of my sanity and I let Hunter take over.

Scarlett

I was traumatised enough to know that fairytales are real and I am currently living in one except the unicorns and rainbows. Only Mine has wolves and nightmares.

I was trembling in fear that they might turn into a wolf at any moment when I felt a gentle squeeze on my shoulder. I turned my head to see that the women from earlier who took care of me when I came here were standing next to me. A gentle smile spread across her lips.

I listened to their fights again, but when his father called me a 'slut' I felt as if my dignity was crushed under his feet. His words rang in my ears as I stood there glued to the floor. A loud, ferocious growl made me snap out of my daze.

The next moment, I saw Alpha was attacking his father, but there was a difference, that he was not alpha anymore, he had become a monster in his human form. His eyes turned black and there was a menacing look on his face.

The lady beside me panicked and ordered others to separate them. Once they were successful, his father looked at me with disgust. They both did some damage to one another.

His father yanked his hands away from their hold, he gave me a cold stare as he turned around and walked away.

" Alpha, the elder is here," Alex said loudly.

" I will explain everything later," he said and turned around to look at me. His eyes returned to their usual shade of blue when he looked at me.

" Come, let's get you rested," he said, extending his hand to me.

I immediately backed away, looking at his hand. The tears were running down from my eyes as I shook my head frantically thinking that he would stay away from me. I didn't want to do anything with him.

" Shhh. It's all right, come with me," the lady said. I realised they are all family, meaning they are wolves, monsters. I didn't realise that she took my hand and was leading me somewhere, but when I regained my senses, I pushed her away from me.

I turned on my heels and was about to run out the front door. A strong pair of hands grabbed my waist and then I heard an angry growl.

" Enough," Alpha screamed loudly in my ear while holding me from behind.

Leave me alone, you monster,"I said and started to thrash my hands, but his hold on me only tightened.

" Enough of your behaviour," he said.

" You are going to stay and behave if I find you doing anything stupid. Make my words you won't like the aftermath," he said in a cold warning tone.

I stopped struggling in his arms. I felt disgusted in his arms. I felt lost.

" I don't want to stay here," I said , hanging my head low.

" Your father sold you and I bought you with money. You will do exactly what you have been told," Alpha said. I didn't respond. I stood there in his hold in complete silence. I had forgotten my status for a moment. How can a girl who was sold by her father have a wish?

I don't know what they are planning to do with me, but whatever it is, I am ready. The last thing I wanted to hear was that I was a slut. The person who said that didn't even know me or my heart.

I felt the alpha lifting me in his arms and I was carried away from their prying eyes. I let agony consume me, it is better that way and it is the only way I won't feel pain.

" Don't go anywhere," Alpha said, placing me on the soft mattress. I whimpered at his tone.

" Alpha," I said, as he turned around to leave me.

" It's Luke," he said, turning around.

" Please let me go. I will return all the money you paid my father," I said, clutching at the hope that he would let me go. But deep down I knew the answer.

" Never," he said. His eyes turned black again, making me freeze on my own spot.

" You are fu**ing mine. Get this into your skull," he said, his voice was deep and animalistic.

" Don't ever try to run away, sweet pie," he said. Coming to me in the blink of an eye. He bent to my level and kissed my forehead.

Before I knew it, he stormed out of the room, locking me inside. A lone tear escaped from my eyes, as I stared at the locked door.

I lay down on the bed after a few moments as I felt tired still looking at the locked door. I didn't know how long I stared at the door crying silently. Soon I was drifting into a deep slumber due to the medicine and exhaustion.
