《 Aurora's pov 》
His commanding tone brought on a wave of fear, yet something else stirred. I wasn't sure.
His voice was gruff, masculine, like it had gone through so much during his time on earth. And as my eyes lift, they fell into pools of amber. I wasn't sure if it was fright that caused my intake of a sharp breath or if it was the sharpness of his jawline and the plump lips that lined into a frown. He was very tall too, I had to crane my neck to look at his face properly.
His aura screamed what everyone talked about, deadly and calculating. But what they failed to have mentioned was how devastatingly handsome he was for a cold-blooded murderer. They also had failed to mention how young he looked too. He didn't seem to be older than the age of thirty.
He took a strong step towards me, his dark midnight hair weighing down by the rain. I flinched, not able to keep the fear off my face any longer. I was now facing the infamous dangerous Alpha of the Crimson Moon pack. There was no way, I could force down my fear any longer.
"Alpha, we found these two stumbling into the territory late last night. This one seemed to be after something." It was Eli who spoke, pushing the rogue lightly to draw the Alpha's attention.
When his eyes are finally off of me, I could feel the air drawing back to my lungs. But I spoke too soon because as soon as his eyes flit from mine, they draw back as quickly.
"And what of this one?" He nudges his head towards me. I couldn't get past through his eyes to see his true emotions. He was locking them away pretty skillfully, and for an Alpha, I didn't expect anything less.
"We're not sure Alpha. But Beta Samuel suggested that she was a spy seeing that her scent gave off a familiar pack." Eli answered.
Alpha Xavier's eyes turned foggy. He was mind linking someone. Seconds later, the Beta arrives, looking disgruntled that he was getting drenched by the rain.
"Alpha." He bowed a little when he stops beside Alpha Xavier. I couldn't help but keep my eyes on the Alpha. Still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that his face was clearly treasured and carved by the Gods.
I have seen many handsome wolves before, that was something wolves never lacked. They were born to look like God's. Yet the one standing before me with his arms crossed and feet apart in a powerful stance made my mouth water for the first time.
"What is she, Beta Samuel?" He removes his amber eyes away from me to regard his Beta who looked as confused as him. It was not every day one would see someone who had features like mine. It was a curse to look this way. Drew too much attention. The bad ones.
"Not sure Alpha Xavier. But she isn't of wolf lineage nor human by her odd features. When I neared her last night, she smelled familiar. I am sure she was sent here as a spy, maybe the cause of the recently spotted killings at the end of the border." Samuel grunts, looking at me.
Alpha Xavier hums and my heart sped up. "What pack are you from?"
I shook my head. I wasn't part of the Crystal River pack since Alpha Raphael refused to accept me as one of their own. But I couldn't confess to being there, then they'd surely kill me thinking I was indeed a spy sent by Raphael to take revenge on his murdered first Luna.
"I'm not from a pack. You have this all wrong, I was fleeing-
"Lies!" Beta Samuel cut me off. I shrank under his accusing gaze. "I know what I smelled last night-
Alpha Xavier lifted his hand to silence Beta Samuel and looks down at me with eyes that shouldn't belong to a man like him. "Take her in for more questioning. She's clearly not saying the truth-
"Exactly why we should kill her before we regret it," Chris budded in behind me. I froze, my heart racing painfully.
Alpha Xavier's eyes harshly snap behind me as he glowers. "Do not interrupt me while I am speaking."
Ripping his eyes away from Chris, he pins me down with his stare again. "Take the girl inside and have her stay in the room beside my own. It's empty. " His Alpha command was clear.
"Alpha are you sure it's a good idea to allow a spy into the packhouse? And to have her in the room beside your own?" Beta Samuel grunted, flashed his Alpha a look of surprise, and looked down at me in reluctance. By his features and the other wolves muteness, I realized that it may be the first time their Alpha spared someone. For now.
"Are you questioning my command?" Xavier growled lowly, canines extending as flecks of red joined the amber.
"No Alpha. We will get her inside." Beta Samuel rushed to grab my arm and tugged me up to my feet. I grunt. "Come on girl," He says, tugging me quickly to the huge packhouse.
Before the door was closed behind us, the painful scream of the rogue woman tore through me.
He didn't spare her.
_______
"Wait-
I'm roughly pushed inside the room and I span around just in time to see the door shut in my face. I looked down at the knob when I hear the click of it locking.
I needed to get out of here. All I asked for was freedom yet I'm thrust back into the world of wolves. The same world I wanted to escape from.
Oh, Cas. You would be disappointed to know that I have stumbled into trouble. I only hope that you didn't get the same fate as me.
I bit my nails as I backed away from the door and looked around the room. It was a decent size and was clearly being kept clean. The bedding on the bed seems to be freshly changed by the faint smell of fabric softener.
My eyes draw to the door on my left. It was either a closet or a bathroom. But I was mostly leaning on bathroom. Removing my gaze, I walked towards the window.
When Beta Samuel rushed me inside with a painful grip, he tugged me upstairs and through the halls so quickly that I only saw flashes of other wolves that looked weary of my presence.
I was not welcomed here, yet the Alpha made me walk through these walls. Perhaps as a prisoner, but why would he allow me inside a room? Is this the way he treats his prisoners?
No. It was clearly a trick. I know his game. He'd make me relax, think he'd spare me and have me go on my way, only to shatter my hope and kill me. There was no other explanation. Alpha Xavier doesn't show mercy.
I approach the window cautiously looking behind me at the door. If there was a chance I can escape, I'd take it. I didn't want to die by his hands. The scream of the rogue woman still echoed through my head and instilled fear into me.
I needed out of here before I suffer the same fate as her.
My hands touched the glass as I looked down below. I felt the air wash out of my lungs as my eyes fall on the rogue woman. Or what was left of her. She was torn from limb to limb. Her blood now dancing with the mud and dirty puddles.
I looked at Eli picking up one of her arms and flinging it playfully at Chris who smacked it away, seeming to be annoyed. But someone was missing, the Alpha.
I shivered, dread curling my tummy with unease as I backed away from the window.
They were monsters.
Disgusting monsters.
I pressed my palm to my furiously beating heart as I realized my fate was sealed. I couldn't jump out the window when they were no longer in sight, it was far too high. I was no wolf, my legs would break.
I stilled. The door was being unlocked.
I span around when it's suddenly thrust open and the powerful presence suffocates the air. My eyes fall into those of amber and I swallowed.
Was it my turn to die?
My eyes fall to his hand, noting the crimson coating his fingers. He was truly here to murder me.
One step into the room had me backing away. Not only was I cold from the rain but I was cold with fear. "Alph-a Xavier," I plead.
Was I allowed to say his name? Was I allowed to call him Alpha?
His eyes flickered with an emotion that I couldn't read, and the low growl at the back of his throat made the hairs behind my neck rise.
He walks into the room fully and slams the door behind him. His amber pools scanned me from head to toe before he grunts. "You need a shower."
《 Aurora's pov 》Walking wordlessly to the door I had originally presumed was the bathroom he opens it, clearly leaving blood on the handle.The sight of it made me even more queasy.I stay rooted where I am, looking around the room for any weapon I could use to fight against him. A lamp was here but what damage would a lamp do with an Alpha his size?He was bigger and looked stronger than Alpha Raphael. He was bigger than most male wolves, there was no exaggeration.I hear the sound of rushing water and few seconds later, he reappears. His eyes are on my torn and dirty dress. "Come here." His command made me swallow a cry of shock from my body's sudden reaction. A throb. A sudden throb down below.I couldn't disobey his command, not if I wanted to die. But perhaps that's why he was calling me, so I can walk right into my own death.I looked down at his hand. He had washed the blood away. But it wasn't that which had my
《 Aurora's pov 》"Alpha Xavier pleas-My own shocked cry cut me off my words. My lips part and my eyes get sucked into the amber pools of darkening lust as Alpha Xavier's fingers cup my pussy."Name." He demanded, his amber eyes dropping to stare at my opened mouth and a deep growl from his throat had me shaking, but not in a terrifying way."Wha-t?" I stammered, my tongue heavy as Alpha Xavier forced my thighs to part to allow his fingers more space."Your name. What is your name?" He groaned, pressing his fingers into my throbbing flesh.I gasp, pushing my back on the wall as if it would help me. "Aur-ora Alpha. My name is Aurora."I looked between his darkening amber eyes that reminded me of the whiskey Alpha Raphael had in his pack study. He would indulge in the alcohol as if it would magically fix his problems.I always hated the smell and the sight of it because I always had to be the one cleanin
《 Aurora's pov 》"Do you always have to be a stick in the mud brother?" Lily whined, sighing as she got off the bed and padded over to her brother.Before going out the door she turns around and winks. "See you around Aurora. And don't let this brute scare you, he's just pissy because he hasn't drank his milk yet." She stuck out her thumb towards him in amusement. She was clearly working him up, and I was certain it was a routine with the two."Lily." Alpha Xavier growled lowly with a warning that would have wolves normally tuck their tails between their legs. Lily on the other hand just giggled and walked out of the room.After her departure, the irritated Alpha locked the door. With his actions setting a new alarm in my head, I rise up from the bed, staggering slightly to my feet as I tighten my hold on the towel that blocked my naked body. It was useless because he had already seen everything."Al-pha Xa-vier," I stammered, not abl
《 Aurora's pov 》 Why am I here? I didn't know the answer to that as well. I thought I was going the right path to avoid stumbling on his pack. Only to end up in his captive. The thumb probing my center, slowly as if almost reluctantly slips out of my entrance and his touch is no longer on me. I find my body yearning for more of it even though my mind was setting alarms to stay away from that dangerous wolf. "You're innocent," He hums and I could hear the sound of sucking. Taking the chance to peek at him behind me, I redden in embarrassment when I noticed he was sucking the thumb that just moments ago came out of me. " If you were one of a vampire lord's concubine then you would surely not have been innocent. " He notes with his deep gaze set on the spot between my thighs. I clench them in hopes of stopping the intense throbbing. I wasn't sure how to stop it since this has never happened to me b
: Xavier's pov :Had the moon goddess lost her damn mind by pairing me with a strange being?Her features, they were rare. Very rare.Never had I seen eyes like hers, or ears like hers. The hair could've been dyed, but something told me it wasn't.She was pretty. I'll admit that. Beautiful even.But what exactly was she?Aurora.I tasted her name again, my tongue still had the essence of her sweet innocence. She was my mate. My wolf howled it in my head the moment our eyes met outside.But she wasn't one of us.Being mated to another creature other than a werewolf was unheard of. I am an Alpha male, my Luna is supposed to be a powerful werewolf. The girl in the room with strange yet beautiful eyes is not of werewolf genes.How can she be mated to me?Was this some sick joke?Did some witch send her here to fuck with my head and let down my defenses?Fuck she had no mark of a witc
《 Aurora's pov 》 I needed to get out of here. The thought emerges into my mind as I look at the blood still dancing in the puddles. It sent a shiver through me. I can't believe I let that beast touch me so inappropriately and didn't put up much of a fight. In fact, I loved it so much, my mind had been flooded with nasty images of him. I promised next time, I wouldn't play into his hands again. Whatever sick joke he was playing with me, I'd fight it. And fight that stupid burning urge to have him inside me. Oh who am I kidding? I can't go against an Alpha. I'd be killed in a matter of seconds. I peeled away from the window when the door opens again. I could already feel his eyes on me and my nipples bud as they turned sensitive against the cotton crop top. Lily was actually my size and the top fit me perfectly. The only problem was that I had no bra. "If you're thinking about escaping out through the windo
《 Aurora's pov 》 " Why aren't you eating Aurora?" His voice made me stiffen but I refuse to turn to face him, keeping my gaze on the darkening sky. Hours sitting on that bed and not moving a muscle made my waist ache. But I refuse to move. Two female wolves came to drop off plates filled with different delicious looking meals. I refuse to take them, not able to stomach the thought of eating anything from my captor. To hell with him. He should just kill me now and be done with it. I was done being treated as a captive. His boots clanking down on the floors made me gulp softly. I counted them. Five steps until he reaches me. He must've taken long strides. I drew in some air when his big hand clamps down on my shoulder. Tingles so powerful from his touch made me squirm. I hated feeling so weak to his touch. My body was turning from stiff to soft. This wasn't what I wanted. "You haven't eaten an entir
《 Aurora's pov 》As I ate the last piece of bread, I stared at Xavier with a look of embarrassment. He had not once stopped feeding me, which made me feel like an immobile child.He goes to grab another plate off the tray and I reach out quickly. My fingers wrap around his arm and I almost jerked away from the powerful race of tingles."I can feed myself, Alpha," I murmured softly, my eyes falling on the arm I held.I drop his arm quickly, after realizing my mistake. What the hell came over me to think I was allowed in any way to touch an Alpha without his consent?I squirm, wincing when
