Resisting The Dark Alpha PROLOGUE – THE LUNA HUNTERS
NORTH COLORADO“Wake up, Ora! Please, wake up!”I am dreaming about him again, the faceless, nameless Lycan who always chases me in my sleep. Fear seizes my thumping heart as I run through a thick, dark forest. The only audible sounds are my harsh breathing and his loud, angry roars.Then I trip and fall. A pained moan escapes me and my head snaps up. Sure enough, he is bearing down on me with break neck speed. The fear that twists my insides feels so volatile, so real, I could taste it.He smells like…man and beast both at the same time. A nice, musky scent which doesn’t make any sense.I’m about to let out a scream when a jarring shake finally hauls my subconscious into the land of the living.“They found us! Wake up, Ora. They found us!”I jerk awake in a pool of my own sweat, still panting. It takes a few seconds of slight disorientation for it to dawn on me that I’m in our latest safe house. A rusty, run down shack.I grip the straw covered bed in a futile attempt to still my r
Resisting The Dark Alpha CHAPTER ONE – GREEN EYED STRANGER
ORAMy pulse hammers with fear as their leader presses forward.His partners are no different. They all have a sticky red substance dripping from their chin. I go completely still.“Wh-who are you? Where’s m-my Dad?”They say nothing, coming closer while I try to edge away.“Is this the prophesied child?” One of them snarls. “The one who would one day single-handedly rule Blood Moon Creek?” Even with fear coursing through my veins, I still feel a little stirring of annoyance at the mockery in his tone.“This dirty little girl is what our King Alpha is so afraid of?”I don’t know why, but I blurt.“I’m nineteen!”“Good for you.” The leader snarls, still pressing closer.I look around frantically, searching for anything I could use as a weapon. My gaze lands on a fallen tree branch and I pick it up, brandishing it before me like a loaded gun.“D-don’t come any closer. What have you d-done with my dad?”The leader’s glowing eyes flash with derision.“You’re issuing threats now? We
Resisting The Dark Alpha CHAPTER TWO – IN FOR A SURPRISE
ORADo you think she’s awake?” The first girlish voice asks.“No, definitely not. She looks knocked out cold.” The second one replies.I want to scream that I’m awake and I can most definitely hear them, but the aching in my skull and the heaviness of my limbs refuse to obey the commands of my tired brain.“Gosh! Those marks around her neck. Someone roughed her up pretty badly” Comes the first voice.What? What marks? “Look, it’s almost time for the auction. We have to wake her up so she can get ready before the Chief Lycans gets here.” The second voice chips in.“How are we going to do that?” The first voice asks.Yes, second voice, how on earth do you intend to wake me up?I hear nothing for a while, but my danger alert is still pretty high so I keep struggling to wake up.A few minutes later, I hear heavy footsteps come in my direction. Before I can struggle to come awake one more time, cold water cascades on my already shivering body from above…in very large quantity.The water s
Resisting The Dark Alpha CHAPTER THREE – PRIDE AND EGO
ORAFive minutes later, I have completely evaded every attempt by the auction matron to doll me up like the other girls, and she looks close to having a heart attack.I do not want this. I will not make any conscious effort to participate in any of it.Andrea and the rest of the girls, numbering about thirty, all look at me with equal parts fear and horror. Only Penelope wears a knowing smirk. I have no doubt she would love to see me get in trouble.“The master says we have to get you ready in the next ten minutes. You are making the task extremely difficult for us, miss!” The disgruntled matron says, giving me a disgusted stare.I fold my arms and look at the other girls in the dressing room calmly.“Seriously? You all willingly get dressed to be auctioned off to the highest bidder like a bunch of domestic animals? Where is your dignity?”I leap from the dressing stool and the matron gasps in horror. Sorry, Mother Theresa.“Those men out there do not care about you one bit. They all
Resisting The Dark Alpha CHAPTER FOUR – PUNISHMENT FOR DEFIANCE
ORAThis isn’t happening. This cannot be happening. I was counting on the fact that if I were to be sold, it would be to the arrogant, proud Lycan in front of me. Now he’s planning on auctioning me off to someone else?“Presenting to you, Ora of North Colorado.” Jake says into the mic. The audience is silent for a while. All are eyes on me and I feel my cheeks redden in painful embarrassment.Jake tosses another disgusted look my way. I inwardly cringe.“I’m not sure she possesses any…visible qualities, but I know she will be wonderful for cooking and cleaning.”I almost choke on my own saliva. Cooking and cleaning? What the heck?He narrows his gaze at me and I give him a horrified look. For a moment, the patrons are silent. I heave a sign of relief, thanking the goddess that I refused to clean up. Surely no one would want to buy a dirty looking, sharp mouthed girl like me.I’m already giving Alpha Jake a smug raise of my brows when the first patron calls out a price, knocking eve
Resisting The Dark Alpha CHAPTER FIVE – A LYCAN’S PROPERTY
ORAI should be looking for a way to escape. I should be fighting him, protesting. Instead, when Jake calls the matron to lead me back to the dressing room while the auction continues, I find myself obeying without a word of protest.I guess I’m still in shock over watching him publicly claim me before hundreds of Lycans…over watching him call me his.Ordinarily, if anyone had claimed me like some piece of wood, I would have fought him to death, but it didn’t quite occur to me to step in and inform everyone that I am not their crown prince’s asset, and that scares me half to death.After being utterly pampered, bathed in scented oils and worrying myself half to death about my mother and sister, I have formulated a plan, one that would get me out of Alpha Jake’s clutches and help me locate the rest of my family.I am currently staring at the dress the matron laid out for me, a look of complete disgust on my face. It looks like something out of Barbie and Her Merry Band of Princesses.
Resisting The Dark Alpha SIX – ANGER AND HATRED
ORALike the good girl that I am —gag, by the way—I put on my clothes and I'm ready when the Matron announces that it's time to leave.I think about everything, from the escape plan that is currently forming in my mind, to the well being of my mother and Sophia…anything to keep my mind from wandering to the heated feeling that spread through me when Alpha Jake touched me just now."It would do you no good to disobey the crown prince."My head snaps up at the matron's hushed, posh tone."Excuse me?"She fluffs her hair "You heard me." She gives me a disgusted up and down look over her shoulder. "Usually, you're not the kind of girl he goes for. The crown prince has always dated sophisticated, beautiful maidens of noble birth…nothing you would know of, of course. I have no idea why he chose you amidst all the other princesses present, but it would be good for you if you stayed on your best behaviour."I roll my eyes. The only people I can ever even attempt to be on my best behaviour fo
Resisting The Dark Alpha SEVEN – DISOBEDIENCE AND CONSEQUENCES
ORAAfter Jake almost had me begging him to take me in the backseat of his car with the use of Lycan powers, I made it a point to ignore him. He makes it easier because I am also being ignored.Anger simmering in my veins, I finger the power amulet around my neck, imagining what would happen if I cut it loose and let my powers run free. I would first kill Alpha Jake Anderson with my bare hands. "What did you do with my mother and sister?" I ask as calmly as I can, looking out the window so I do not have to look at him."If you want answers to any of your questions, I suggest you look me in the eye when you ask them." Comes his clipped response. I am so very tempted to tell him to go fuck him self in hell, but I grit my teeth and turn to him, ignoring the pang that arces through my chest at the sight of those eyes."My mother and sister. When do I get to see them?"For a second, he doesn't answer. Instead, those flaming green orbs burn into every inch of my face, causing my cheeks to
