Chapter six

'Why is that voice so familiar?' a question that dashed through my mind and got me on my nerves.

I couldn't just drive my thoughts away from the voice I just heard pierce my ears. 

While I try to dissuade myself from the unnecessary thought and the decision I am about to make. The sound comes through again and this time, it is potent.

"Make your decision," The Alpha said terrifyingly.

I heard it, but couldn't really make a decision at the moment. The sound oozing from the basement is something I couldn't shake off my head.

'I kinda need to check it…' I make the decision right within me. I could feel my heart beating hard against my chest.

I know I am about to make a choice, the choice that will change so many things in my life. It may be for the good or for the worse.

Walking off immediately just to trace the sound, the Alpha was startled.

"Are you rejecting the Alpha!!!" 

That voice echoed through the walls of my auditory, but I didn't mind.

I don't know why I am so courageous at the moment and one thing on my mind is to find out what is wrong.

I didn't think of the consequences of my actions, neither did I take my time to ponder. All that is my heart is to do something real quick.

Walking gently off, the voice continues to echo till it fades.

Not quite long, I walked gently with my eyes fixated at the direction of where I am going. I don't mind what will become of me, neither did I really know what I was doing. 

All I could consider at the moment is to find things out and I know if I don't do it, it would be a big fault to me since the voice is familiar.

I guess the Alpha thinks I walked away, but this sound coming from the basement is something I can't for-go. All that is happening to me is curiosity.

Walking down the stairs, I find my ears getting hold of the sound as I follow it gently. 

'Where is this leading me?' a question pegged on my mind and got me wondering heavily. I can't understand anymore.

I know that sound is from the basement, but where this is leading me is what I don't understand. Taking note of everything around me, I noticed I am about to enter a narrow path.

While I am still trying to consider something, the sound comes through again and this time, I am ready to go anything just to find this thing.

Rolling my eyes with its sockets, I tilt forward gently. 

Getting closer, I begin to notice something so unusual, but since it's something I can't understand I still believe I can walk more. 

After walking several points, something indeed got my attention.

'There is another route in here,' I concluded within me after expelling some air out of my guts, because they could be nauseating.

I don't know why, but I feel like checking that route out, it's something I feel like exploring.

I planted my leg on the route and started tilting forward.

'What is this place?' only questions I couldn't provide an answer for kept dangling in my mind.

I hold my peace and have my hand run my nose gently. I couldn't let a smile dive through my face, because I am so curious… ready to know. 

Getting my hands on the walls, I walked in wonder and in no time, the sound seems to be closer to me which gives me an idea that I will soon be there. 

With lots of enthusiasm I tilt forward till I reach a certain point where I can see clearly.

'What is this?' different gates arrayed could be seen there. 'Is this a prison?' I asked myself, because I am so confused.

While I wandered and wanted to check, I immediately set my eyes on something that was surprising.

I could see a shadow. I have my mind running through and through on this fact.

'A shadow!' I haven't raised my head, all I could do is just to wonder who it might be.

While it gets nearer, I noticed it looks more like the Alpha.

'The Alpha…' I raised my head immediately and had my eyes fixated on him and now I don't know what else I would do.

My heart starts panting heavily and a strange sweat gushes through my pores. 'Him following me here?' I don't just understand.

"You dare reject the Alpha?" 

That voice is an audible one. Immediately that word hits me, my heart skips several beats as if I am going to give up the ghost.

Right there, I know something terrible is about to happen to me. 'What have I done?' a question in which I have no answer dropped on my mind and it made me wonder in despair.

I lowered my head, because I dare I not look face to face with the Alpha. 

"You sure have guts.." 

Audible laughter could be heard sounding throughout the basement.

Saliva soaks my mouth so much that I have to swallow some pecs of it. 

With that I know something terrible is about to happen.

"Why did you mock me?" He thundered audibly.

His voice could be heard throughout the basement. I became so scared that I couldn't even defend myself. 

"Sire… don't be lenient on her, let her face the wrath," one of the guards said.

Having my ears erect waiting for the verdict, my eyes are closed. I know the verdict would be despicable.

'Rejecting the Alpha wasn't my plan… the sound distracted me,' I know that but I couldn't defend myself and now, I am lost in the ordeal.

'What do I do? What will happen next?' Having my saliva run through my gut, the question begs for an answer. 

'A punishment for rejection….!' I know it would be tough, but what would it be?

After waiting some minutes for him to say something, I raised my head thinking he is not ready to say a thing.

Having his eyes on mine, he opens his mouth to speak.
