MARRIED TO THE DISABLED ALPHA

Alecia’s

I ran as fast as my leg could carry me, my hands gripping hard on my cloak to prevent me from falling, revealing my tattered kirtle piece of lining covering my chemise- The only layer that stopped him from having his way.

My bodice turned into something different, totally shifted from the position, exposing my cleavages in view.

My head was heavy, dampened in my own sweat and tears. Either of my hands aggressively wiped off my tears while my chest was heaving up and down.

The only person I looked up to as my stepbrother had almost forced his way with me.

Erin was my stepbrother, and I grew up to admire and give him that respect, taking him as my elder brother, the one who would always be there when I needed a shoulder to lean on. He has never raised his voice against me nor his hands…

“How could you do this!” My lips were quivering from pain and disappointment.

I fell down into the swamp along the hollow path, I sobbed as fresh tears found their way through my cheek. The pain that came from my foot reminded me I was barefooted- I dashed out with the little chance I got that I couldn't notice I was not in my shoes.

I stood up instantly as the fear of him coming after me caught me.

Pain.

Fatigue.

Disappointment all washed over me, and yet mixed emotions flooded through me with different questions surging in me.

I hope Mom listened to me this time; I hope she gave us a chance to leave this pack and go back to when it was just us, where there was no Duncan or Moon Ridge pack.

The scowl and mockery of being a wolfless Omega was one and the pain of getting raped by someone you hold dear to your heart was another thing and unbearable.

The images of his hands around my body, finding his way through my bodice to my undergarments all flashed across me……

My demeanor was evidence of disgust, irritation crawling through my skin. I felt like it wasn't mine.

A glint of hope rose up in me when the pack was just a little bit away and yet there was no sign of Erin behind me….

I bashed inside not giving a damn about my damped hair that was sticky with poodles already, my clothes torn from different angles. I didn't care about the whisperings and the mumbles trailing behind me. I only have one mission and that's my Mom.

I wanted her to tell me she was going to fight for me. I wanted her to console me and tell me she was going to do everything not only as his mother but also his Luna to make him pay but everything shattered when I got dragged in a swift into the room from where she stood amidst the pack ladies, the building echoing their laughter and giggles.

“Where have you been? The Alpha has been looking around for you, your attention is needed in the courtroom!” She said, her tone not too high nor too low.

That's her concern, Alpha here, Alpha there!

I took it upon myself to still give her the chance…..

“Mom, Erin….” I couldn't say anything; my words were caught in my throat, and all I could only do was point to the direction, the path that had become my nightmare.

“Erin wanted to rape me, Mom. He tore my clothes, his hands trying to push my bodice off…..I stabbed him to escape. I..I..” I stuttered while my chest rose and fell from the pain enclosed within it, new tears fighting their way out.

As if my words were nothing, instead, she persuaded me to lower my voice while she peeked around the room.

“......And you dare not mention this to anyone not even the Alpha, I will take care of it while you go in there dress up and go into that courtroom”

My bruised lips parted slightly and closed. I dragged myself into my room. I was alive, but I felt my soul lost.

My Mom reaction wasn't something I expected,

It took me almost an hour to wash myself, my body visible with pinkish marks bearing witness to the hard scrub I gave myself hoping to wash away his hands off me.

It took me a while to get ready. In fact, Mama had clothes chosen for me but while I was getting dressed, the pain I felt morphed into rage, a new purpose setting in.

Not less than I expected, the council and Alpha Duncan, Mama’s husband, were known for his negligence and cruel judgment.

I marched forward; my gaze was lowered, and I dared not raise up my head to meet their gaze; I barely survived the wrath of my step-dad, Alpha Duncan, not to mention many of him.

My hands fumbled with my clothes by my sides while their argument got to me which forced me to raise up my gaze.

His sudden voice caught me by surprise, forcing me to raise my gaze.

He was smiling while putting words in my defense giving an excuse for my lateness.

My grip on my clothes deepened, he was really unbelievable.

“How could he?” I muttered under my breath.

Our eyes met while I tried to find that trace of the mark I gave him through the stab but it was gone, gone as it was never there.

I clenched my palm in anger, anger surging through me. I wish I could tear that smile off his face.

While mumblings and whispering were going on, I had my focus buried on Erin and their sudden question pulled me out of my trance-

“Alecia dear, are you ready to marry the ex-alpha of the Blood Moon pack?” My stepdad said directly, cajoling me through his tone.

I was lost in my daze when Erin started to convince and confuse them why I shouldn't; he was so adamant about his reason.

Getting married to the crippled Alpha I never knew was a lot of things.

Rumor said he was dangerous, but I would rather trail that path and create that alliance they needed than get stuck in the hellhole of my pack.

“Yes, I will marry him!” My voice came abruptly, and a dead silence erupted through the room.

I don't know what I was going through but seeing the dead shock and rage on Erin’s face gave me the reason I would choose my answer over and over again.
