Chapter 03

Elle Rose 

“Klaude, did you release Alpha Taylor? Is he alive? Did you make your end of the deal or you are just bluffing to me?” I choke hard, pacing back and forth in this small room while looking at the man comfortably sitting over the corner of the bed. 

A loud sound of smashing from the corner of the room made me bolt in place. Like what I have perceived him to be, Klaude is really a monster and I am too scared of him right now. 

Too scared while looking into his emotionless eyes. 

He has knocked the drawer to the floor. Wrecked and almost shattered. 

“What did you just call me?" He angrily spats, looking murderous. "Do you really want to die?" 

I choke hard, swallowing my disgust. " A-Alpha Klaude...." 

"Shut your mouth. I don’t want to hear anything about your shitty lover again or else I’ll rip his heart out just like what I had planned earlier.” 

My body went stiff. Then I slowly nod my head. “Just tell me you did not kill him,” my voice is too low to protest. 

“I did not, but I will if you don’t learn how to obey me!” He husked. Loudly. 

I wriggled my body out of the rope. He instructed his Beta earlier to tie me into this bed and I didn’t know why. “My wrists are hurting, Alpha Klaude. What more do you want to have me tied in this bed?”  

Alpha Klaude shook his head, staring at me as if I disturbed his peace. This man is brutal. I can picture his cruelness for dominating this pack.

My pack.  

I almost yelped when he suddenly threw a dagger in my direction. I am glad that I was taught how to avoid such things or else it already pierce through my skin. 

“What the hell?!” I shouted, looking at him. “Are you planning to kill me, you piece of shit?” I muttered, shivering at the feeling of the sharp metal edge almost cutting the skin of my cheeks. 

Alpha Klaude did not move. His eyes only linger over mine, then he licks his bottom lips and walks away.

 “You can find me in the arena,” he brutally mentioned. 

It took me a moment to breathe in what he meant when I saw the dagger. That man wanted me to unleash myself on this rope of my own accord. 

Selfish, cruel man. 

I was cursing him and his ugly name as I tried my very best to move my body like a worm just to get the dagger on the wooden wall. He purposely throws it to make me scared. I was talking to myself while having a hard time getting the dagger when I heard the door creaking. 

Another asshole comes within. 

This time, his eyes are not ruthless or emotionless. It was futile because it doesn’t have any emotions other than playfulness. 

That kind of emotion is the most dangerous one. It can cover the true intention of the heart. It can give you comfort without knowing you are slowly losing your breath to die. 

Beta Jacob whistles while staring at me. 

“Do you need help?” he arrogantly asked. I sharply stare at his face, wanting to erase every possible reason for him to smirk like that. “What? I know I am hot, Elle Rose but you can’t stare at me like that.” 

“Like what?” I replied, cheering myself as I successfully grabbed the dagger and brought it to my hands. 

He leaned over the doorway. Beta Jacob is muscular and lean. He and his alpha are both muscular and lean, actually.  “Like you are hungry for my touch, Elle Rose. You are looking at me as if you wanted to spread your legs for me.” 

Asshole. 

“You know what? I don’t care what you think of me. I already sold myself to the devil and I don’t want to deal with another one,” I said, smirking when I successfully cut the rope binding my wrists together. 

I did not waste any time and ran in Beta Jacob's direction to kill him using the dagger. I was aiming for his throat and wanting for blood to drip over it when he caught my hand in mid-air without any effort. 

I was astounded, looking at him. 

My body was rooted in place, staring at him, grinning as he forcibly grasped my hand, causing the dagger to fall to the floor. 

Beta Jacob did not care that I was wincing in pain. He was just looking at me. 

“ L-Let go…” I choke, trying to pull my hand out of his hold. 

“Do you think you can easily kill me, Elle Rose?” Beta Jacob whispered in my ears. He ruged me closer to his body. “Do you think I will let you kill me that easily?” he said slowly, emphasizing each word with darkness. 

I growled when he pushed me to the floor. My butt hurts from the impact of his force. 

“Alpha Klaude is waiting for you in the arena. I will not tell him about this little escapade of yours,” he muttered. 

“Why?” I looked up with tears. “ Why don’t you just do me a favor and kill me?! Why don’t you just kill me, just like how you did to my father?” 

Beta Jacob pushed his hair backward and played with his bottom lips. His intimidating scare and atrocious stare dig deep into my mind. I have never met a Beta who felt like an Alpha. I have never felt someone who makes me intimidated, given that he is not an alpha.

“Your family and this pack owe us more than your life's worth, Elle Rose. If I kill you right now, then this will be no fun at all. Watching you suffer and breathe for us will be the best entertainment that I will have.” 

“W-Why me…” I replied, my voice shaking. “W-Why does it have to be me?”

I was sobbing and wincing from everything. 

My mind takes me back to my last phone conversation with my dad. He just wants me to go back and choose an alpha for the pack. 

He did not tell me anything! He refused to tell me anything about what is happening in this pack because I told him to. That mere thought only makes me want to struggle out of anger. 

I am a useless daughter who chose to be blind about her own pack! I ignored them for so long and now…now that I want to be part of the OdWolfe pack again, nothing is left for me. 

“Because you’re a Kinsmir.” 

My body shivers. 

The sound of it stops my mind from functioning. A feeling of hollowness comes rushing down on me hearing that word on this stranger’s lips. 

A Kinsmir. 

Long time ago, stories were told about the rarest type of werewolf that has ever existed. A rare form of true alpha whose identity will create chaos in the balance of nature. 

Hearsay, they say. A baby will be born with the blood of vampires and werewolves pumping into its veins and threatening the alphas of the next generation. 

A forbidden existence.

However, it is not possible for mating doesn't happen to between a vampire and a werewolf. In the end, they will only end up killing each other for domination. 

“You’re fucking with me, right? Kinsmir is only a myth! A fucking hearsay to threaten cowards werewolves like you.” I shouted at him, trying to ruin everything that my hand would set on. 

The rope cannot hold my anger and Beta Jacob, too. No matter how much he tried to stop me, I was overpowered in anger that I was successful in pushing him out of my way and running through the door of my room. 

I cannot think of anything other than my bloodlust. 

All my life, I have only had my father by my side. He wasn’t good to me, but he wasn’t bad either. I only left because I wanted to experience life in the city and not suffer in this hometown, but it doesn’t mean that I wanted him dead! 

I cannot forgive the fact that they had killed him and now they are accusing me of being something. 

A Kinsmir. 

My hands almost grabbed the doorknob to leave the room, only to be scooped by large muscular hands. I tried to push whoever it was, but Beta Jacob is too strong. 

I was wriggling and wailing. 

All I can do is growl and whine because I felt too dominated by him. 

Beta Jacob growled roughly in my ears. It made me instantly freeze in place. “Cry and deny it all you want, Elle Rose. You can deny being a Kinsmir, but both of us know who you really are.” He grabbed my hands and placed them on my chest. I can feel how fast my heart is pounding. “Can you hear the bloodlust, Elle Rose? Your true nature is calling you. No matter how much you deny it, you’re a monster. You are born to be one.” 

“N-No.” I sobbed. “I am not a monster.” I am still in shock because of everything. “I am not like you.” 

And I am going to prove that.
