CHAPTER 7: Sign This.

Winny.

I thought I didn’t hear him the first time till he repeated his words one at a time. 

“I will pay for everything, and make you my territorial advisor. All you have to do is move into my estate and perform a monthly ceremonial act to keep the Pack together.”

A huge part of me was happy I could finally get myself away from Mark, but another part of me feels like Alpha Sean could be even worse than Mark. 

No, anything is better than Mark and Becky.

“Why me?”

“You are desperately in need of my help. You shouldn’t have many choices. I figured you would agree to this. All you have to do is simple. I would have no restrictions on you, but you would have to sign a contract with me so you don’t use this against me in the future. What do you say?”

My wolf leapt for joy. Even though I wanted to say no, or say I would think about it. Something to show that I wasn’t desperate, but I’d be lying to myself, he can see how desperate I am.

“How long is this going to be?”

“Three months.”

“Deal. I won’t be doing anything else for you, right?” I said, hugging my body a little. 

He looked at me seductively and walked towards me with a smirk. “What else do you want to do for me? Still want to give me pleasure every night like you desperately want?”

I looked away. He hadn’t done anything, yet,  his words sent shivers down my spine. 

“I’m just messing with you,” he said with another rich laugh. “You won’t have to do that for me.”

He went to the corner of the room to make a call while I tried to call Grace. That was when I realized I had left my phone in the house. 

Mark! That bastard! The full moon is two nights away. Everyone would be out, and if this really isn’t a dream, I would be by Alpha Sean’s side. He won’t be able to hunt me down during the night hunts. 

I remember my father used to take me to these hunts. He would teach me how to pounce and hunt other wolves, and how to howl and run through the woods and all four paws.

Now he’s dead, and all I have is a sickening video message to tell me I am a creature he knows nothing about, with absolutely no way to find my way back home. Apart from the mark under my shoulder.

“You look pale,” Alpha Sean brought me back from my thoughts. I tried to raise a smile, but I failed. Even though this is a good deal I am about to make, it doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t change the fact that Grace is the only person I have in the world. It doesn’t change the fact that my existence is a mystery I have to solve. Maybe I shouldn’t. Maybe I should just live with Alpha Sean and pretend to be a sane person.

“Winny!”

His voice was loud, like it wasn’t the first time he would be calling my name.

“I’m sorry. Yes?”

There was already someone else in the room. I could smell he was high-ranked. 

“Here,” the blonde man with hazel eyes handed me a document. “Sign this.”

I didn’t read through. I didn’t want to. If the Alpha King plans to make my life more miserable, then he could as well just go ahead. I have nothing left to lose.

I signed it and gave it back to the man who handed the paper back to Alpha Sean. His eyes were on me, not the papers.

“Leave us,” he commanded the man, and he left. Once the door was shut, Alpha sat beside me. He was silent. 

“Hold your tears back. You would have time to shed enough when we get to the estate.”

“We are leaving now? I have to take a stop and take some of my clothes and—”

“You won’t need anything. Everything you need is in my house. I know you would have someone you want to tell about your new job. You can do that tomorrow, but for tonight, you’re coming with me.”

I didn’t say anything else. We drove down to his estate, the largest part of the City, and in the heart of it stood his mansion. It was just as they say, the biggest building anyone could ever set their eyes on. 

It was too dark for me to see the outer walls, but the inside was absolutely breathtaking, filled with different maids and guards. 

He left me with one of the maids, who later showed me to “my room”.

It was big enough to cover the whole of Grace’s apartment. I plopped with a lazy yawn. It’s been a long night.

The next day, everything that had happened the night before started to dawn on me. Alpha Sean dismissing me, my father is dead, his video, Mark arresting me, and Alpha Sean coming back to my rescue.

A maid named Iris brought me new clothes and shoes. “Orders from Alpha Sean.” I checked the price tag on the beautiful green dress, and it was about two million dollars!

I dressed up and joined him in the dining area for breakfast. He had some notes in front of him with lots of papers. He was on a white shirt, half-folded sleeves, and a pair of glasses.

As the sunshine kissed his very being, I couldn’t help but admire how such beauty existed.

“Are you going to stand there and eat me up, or are you going to settle down while I give you a brief of why you’re here? Wine.”

“It’s Winny, Alpha.”

“Well, Wine it is.”

I chuckled and braced myself. I can’t wait to see the look on Mark’s face when he finds out.
