RYLEE With chains binding my wrists, a man with dark brown hair led me outside the building. He took me to the car and made me sit at the back. After a little while, Alpha Vincent joined us. The man with the brown hair drove while Alpha Vincent sat beside him. I couldn't say anything. I was still too shaken up to do anything but stare. The fact remained that he'd saved me from being executed by the council, but was becoming his slave better? From the looks of the iciness of his eyes and expression, it seemed like he wasn't a very nice person. The man who was driving was hard to read as well. I hoped that everyone in Alpha Vincent's pack wasn't like him. The car stopped in front of a large pack house and the two men stepped out. "Take her to the dark room. I'll sort things out, later" Alpha Vincent said to the other man as he led me out of the car. I've always had a fear of the dark. Panic stricken, I said, "Can I not stay in a dark room? I'm afraid of the dark. I'll stay anywhere
VINCENT Her honey colored eyes were wide with fear even as I approached her. She seemed to be terrified of me, not that I cared. I just needed to understand why her flowery scent was bothering me so much. The first time I'd perceived it, was the night I had ended up at her house. I had been too out of it to investigate the reason why my wolf became restless each time we perceived the scent. The slave squeezed her eyes shut, once I was close enough. Her flowery scent hit my nostrils and I nearly groaned. My wolf had just been alerted. His excitement caused him to take over. When my fangs protruded, I knew that my eye color had changed. It was at this point that I realized why my wolf was reacting that way. The small creature cowering in front of me, with her back to the wall, was my mate. With a growl of annoyance, I pulled away and turned away from her. I didn't want a mate. Infact, I'd been doing just fine without a mate. Even if I was going to have a mate, why on Earth would it be
RYLEE I was surprised by his statement. It was the first time I was hearing those words since my life became a mess. Tears filled my eyes and I slowly met his gaze. Despite how intense his icy gaze was, I couldn't help but feel grateful that there was someone who believed me. "You do?" "That isn't the point" He said and I lowered my gaze. Considering the fact that my little excitement had gone down a notch, I was still relieved about the fact that he wasn't accusing me of making up stories, just like every other person had done. He was cold and indifferent. But, at least, he had a good sense of judgement. The man with the brown hair walked in, his gaze meeting mine. "Jared, show her to her new room" Alpha Vincent said as he turned away from us. "Come with me" Jared said and I quietly followed him after sparing the Alpha one last glance. When Jared and I got to our destination, we walked into a small room which had a mattress in it. The room felt bare. Still, I was relieved th
RYLEE 'Mate!' Sky, my wolf said and my jaw dropped as I continued to stare at Alpha Vincent. His scent was that of the earth, right after a rainstorm. I was stupefied by the fact that he was my mate. Chills crawled down my spine and my heart pounded frantically."What?" His cold voice snapped me out of my stupor."I-I-"He strode towards me and grabbed me by the forearm. Then, he dragged me towards the door, his nails digging into my skin. He pushed me to the ground and glowered at me."Get out!" He roared. His eyes had turned red and there was a golden ring around his iris. I had never seen anyone with such unique eyes.I stumbled to my feet, knowing that he could really hurt me if I remained anywhere around him. I took off in the direction of my new room.
VINCENT "What did you just say?" I demanded, glaring daggers at the omega standing in front of me. She had paled to an alarming extent, her hand covering her mouth. If I wasn't in a foul mood, I would have reacted in a less hostile manner. I knew that I was goodlooking. Infact, I'd gotten used to the stares the female species throw at me, but no one had ever complimented me in such a fierce manner. Let me tell you, it takes guts. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. I didn't mean to blurt out such rubbish" she said, lowering her head. I could smell her fear. "Why were you eavesdropping?" I asked and she shook her head. "You must be mistaken. I didn't eavesdrop. I came here to see you, but-" "You heard something, didn't you?" I cut her off. She raised her head. "Yes, I did. But, it was accidental, I swear!" She said, her eyes wide with panic. Frustrated, I pinched the bridge of my nostrils and stepped aside from the entrance of my study. She threw me a questioning stare. "Go. In" I
RYLEE All of this was a bad dream, so I thought. My knees had just buckled and I felt like time had come to a halt. "You have nothing to say, do you?" Alpha Vincent said and I shook my head. "You're talking about Rose? She went missing?" I said. "That's right. Where did you take her?" Jared asked. "I didn't kidnap her, I swear. I wouldn't do such a thing. We talked about flowers that day. We didn't do anything special. You have to believe me" "Rose is sixteen. She's an unmated omega. You have to tell us where you kept my child, you wench!" Rose's mother yelled at me. I lowered my head, squeezing my eyes shut. Why was things never going my way? "You heard her. Tell us where Rose is" Alpha Vincent said, a blank look on his face. I stared at him, mentally pleading for him to believe me this time as well. "I didn't kidnap anyone. I talked with her. But, that was it. It's the truth!" "You liar! Where have you kept my daughter?! Where is she?!" Rose's mother was filled with so muc
VINCENT "You have a visitor, Vincent" Jared said to me as soon as I sat down in my study. I couldn't remember setting up an appointment with anyone."She's an Alpha. You never arranged an appointment with her. But, now that she's here, she insists on seeing you" Jared told me."I don't have an appointment with her. Go and tell her that I won't be seeing her. She has to leave" I said and Jared nodded. Then, he left.Few minutes later, he returned, looking provoked."She refused to leave without seeing you. She said she would spend days waiting at the gate if need be" he said to me, a frown on his face."What does she want with me now? An alliance?""It's possible" Jared said."She should forget it. I make no alliance with other packs. I'm not going to change my mind now" I said
RYLEE Alpha Vincent's burning gaze was locked with mine, as I stared at him, shocked."W-what?" I stuttered. I was having a hard time processing what he'd just said. As he drew nearer to me, I moved backwards. I ended up being trapped between him and the wall. His right arm was planted right on the wall, his piercing gaze locked with mine. For a moment, I was distracted by his eyes. They were oh so blue. "That's what you want, isn't it?" Alpha Vincent droned and I swallowed hard. "N-no...I" "Cut the crap. You really are pitiful. You almost got me there. I know you're desperate. You don't have to make it so obvious" he said. The more he spoke, the more I became upset. Few seconds ago, he'd sounded different. The look in his eyes had been different as well. For a moment, I'd wanted to believe that his intentions were true. How stupid of me to make conclusions.The fact that he was insinuating that everythi
