Chapter five

Alpha Theon’s POV 

Something wasn’t right. 

‘I’m heading towards the clearing. Meet me there now.’ I linked my beta.

Rex was pissed and close to coming to the surface. It was all I could do to hold him back. I could smell her. My mate. She smelled of fear. 

We could also smell b***d on her. She was hurt. 

Nathan finally showed up. “What's up—”

“HELP!!!” Someone screamed from the forest.

We looked at each other before taking off, running in the direction of the screaming.

‘What's going on?’ Nathan mind linked. I could sense his worry and I understand because this wasn’t our territory. This was something we shouldn’t be doing. 

This was something that could cause a war, but I wasn’t afraid of that. My pack was stronger and bigger. And If Viktor wanted war, he already had one because something definitely wasn’t right here. I will be taking all of this to the council.

I only had one word for Nathan.

‘Mate.’

With that, he took off faster and we both arrived just in time.

I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that someone would do this to someone else. It made me sick and had Rex pushing to the surface. I wouldn’t be held responsible for what he did to this boy.

The girl beneath him had her shirt and bra in shreds around her, her skirt pushed up all the way, and her underwear long gone. Her face was turning blue and swelling. She clearly had a broken leg as it was sticking out at an odd angle. She was telling him no and to get off her. She tried to push him away, but he overpowered her. 

You could see the brokenness about her. I got the feeling this was not the first time this had happened. I could see scars littering her body, along with a lot of bruising, some very fresh and some old. I wondered why they would look like that. She is a wolf and should heal, but it doesn’t appear she is.

I roared so loud the trees shook and the beta’s son looked at me. 

“Get lost.” he said, annoyed.

My vision turned red immediately. The piece of s**t had his filthy fingers inside my mate and had the guts to tell me that. 

I reached down and grabbed the pathetic excuse of waste by the throat and ripped him away from her. He landed against a tree, where he quickly fell to the ground and was trying to catch his breath. I stormed over to him, with Rex out of control. 

The piece of s**t was now shaking when he realised what was going to happen. I grabbed him around the throat and squeezed him tight, cutting off his air supply. He was quickly turning red in the face.

“What the f**k are you doing to this she-wolf,” I asked. He couldn’t talk because of my grip. Not that I cared, I had seen enough. I squeezed his neck even tighter. “Have you made peace with dying because you will not leave this forest alive?” 

Before I could snap his neck, Alpha Viktor and Luna Elsa showed up, yelling at me to drop him. 

Nathan had gone to the girl and covered her, thanking the goddess. She was mumbling something, but I wasn’t sure what yet.

“Alpha Theon, what is the meaning of this?” Alpha Viktor asked.

“This pathetic waste of garbage was abusing this pack member and was about to rape her,” I told him through ragged breaths. It was taking everything in me not to kill this guy still.

“He would do no such thing. That is our pack slave. She is filthy and our future Beta wouldn’t even think of touching her. I am sure she seduced him. This isn’t the first time she has tried this. I assure you she will be punished properly.”

I dropped the piece of s**t and he hit the ground gasping for air and holding his throat. I am sure he would have a perfect imprint of my hand on his neck.

But was the Alpha f*****g serious right now?

Everyone could see how bad of shape the girl was in. On top of that, she was naked, while the boy's pants were open with his small limp d**k hanging out.

“Can you not see how badly the girl is hurt? Do you think she caused all those injuries herself? Her clothes are shredded and when I got here, he was forcing his hands into her, and she was begging him to stop, and you want to tell me she was seducing him?” I growled out at them.

“Alpha Theon, I assure you that is a misunderstanding. I will handle both of them properly. Guards escort the slave to her room and make sure she stays there,” he ordered.

“Alpha Viktor, there is no need for that, the girl is coming with me. She belongs to my pack now. Please release any ties to her.”

“No, that won’t be necessary. We can handle this.”

“I don’t think so. You can either release her to me or I can call the council. The choice is yours.”

“Fine, take her, but this isn’t over.”

“I also assume that this garbage will be punished accordingly. If I find out otherwise, I will return and when I do it will be with the council, and I won’t be afraid to take matters into my own hands.”

The Alpha just stared at me with hate in his eyes. He knew this was bad and his pack would get in trouble for it. He knew that there was no way out of this.

“Nathan get the girl.”

“Yes, Boss.”

He picked her up and I could hear her let out a scream. It must have either scared her or caused her some type of pain. He leaned down and whispered something to her, but I don’t know what. It took all my restraint to not take her from my beta. 

She had clung to him like he was her lifeline and I hated the sudden feeling of me wanting to give anything to be that for her. I didn’t want a mate, but I was finding it very difficult at this moment.
