“My father did the same thing to me as what yours did to you.” Alpha Connor says. And I leaned forward a little bit. “Really?” I asked curiously. “Not as bad as what your father did. Your father was definitely unique. But that’s what our whole Protector pack is made up of. I started it when I was 17 and I have rescued abused werewolves ever since then. I made my pack.” Alpha Connor explained. “So, your whole pack of warriors were abused kids?” I asked. “Yeah. And adults. They were omega’s and slaves. People give me tips about people that are being abused and I help them get out and bring them back to my pack.” He says. “Did you think that you’re mate would be one?” I asked. “No. I never actually thought I would meet my mate. So, I was more than happy when I found you.” He explained. I felt strange after he said that. A feeling that I had never had before. He said that he was happy to find me. What feeling was this? Was I actually happy or something similar to that. I don’t th
“Did you really think that you could escape me?” He growled standing over me. I looked to the other side of the couch and Alpha Connor wasn’t there. Where did he go? How could he just leave? “I...I…” I stuttered, not knowing what to say. “You are going to regret that you were ever born. If you thought it was bad before, you better believe that your life is going to be miserable now.” He growled through gritted teeth. My heart rate started spiking and I started sweating profusely and he reached down to grab me by the shirt to lift me off the couch. I started flailing my arms and legs and suddenly my eyes snapped open and Alpha Connor was leaning down beside the couch where I was asleep. He jumped back as soon as I jumped up to sit up and he looked really concerned. “It’s alright Aurora. You were just having a bad dream. That’s all.” He says trying to calm me down. “Dad found me. He found me.” I kept saying over and over breathlessly. “Your dad did not find you. Everything is
Alpha Connor quickly got to his feet and headed for the door but she ducked away from him and kept approaching the table where I was sitting. “So, you think you can steal my man and get away with it? You think you can make him believe that you’re his fucking mate. What are you? A fucking witch or something?” She yelled as she was getting closer to me. But Alpha Connor grabbed her arm and pulled her backwards away from me. “She is only 15 and doesn’t feel the bond. I do. She didn’t cast any fucking spell on me. Now get out.” Alpha Connor demanded. “No. Not until you tell me that you don’t want me anymore.” Vera insisted staring him straight in the eye. And he didn’t flinch once or look away from her. He was staring her dead in the eye as well. “I don’t want you anymore.” Alpha Connor said without hesitation. And she looked genuinely hurt hearing that, so he took his hand off of her arm and he started guiding her back to the front door but she ducked under his arm again and she c
Poisoned. I was being poisoned. I couldn’t even process that. But I guess it didn’t really come as much of a surprise. I mean, dad did everything else to me. Why not poison me as well. “Ever since you got here, you told me that the food tasted differently.” Alpha Connor says. “Yeah. It does.” I say. “Your father was poisoning your food.” Alpha Connor says. “Well, that’s why she’s not healing. And she won’t start to heal until all of that crap is out of her system.” Dr. Evelyn says. “How long will that take?” Alpha Connor asked leaning forward on his legs while we were all sitting in the living room area. “It’s hard to tell. It depends on how much they were feeding to her. It could be days or it could be weeks. It will flush out of her system, it will just take time.” Dr. Evelyn says. I sat there listening to them talking back and forth about me and all I could do was nod my head. I didn’t really know what else to do. I didn’t know what to say. There wasn’t anything to say.
I stood there in shock looking at this warrior on his knee showing me his complete respect and calling me ‘Your Majesty’. But I looked at Connor and I was really confused. But after the first warrior did that then more of them looked like they were coming to some realisation as well and they started doing the same thing. “Connor.” I say as my heart rate started speeding up a little. I wasn’t used to having so much attention towards me. And he raced up the stairs to me and put his arm around me to try and calm me down a little. “It’s alright. I’m here.” He says rubbing my arms and it actually did calm me down a little bit. “What’s going on?” I asked confused. “I have no idea.” He says equally as confused. And a woman from the crowd walks up with her head bowed to me, which is what I usually do, and she handed Alpha Connor a book. It was just as ancient as the other one that Connor gave me and he showed me the cover of it. ‘Heritage of the Werewolf Royal Family’. And we both looke
I was sitting on the couch and Connor was kneeling in front of me while I held him tight and sobbed into his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me lightly, trying not to hurt me but rubbing my back at the same time. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.” Connor says to me. “My father killed my mother. She told me.” I sobbed out. “It was just a dream. I mean, it might not be true.” Connor says. But I knew that it was. It was a dream, but it was more than that. My mother came to me. She warned me. She needed me to know what was going to happen when my father found me. She told me to stay close to Connor. That I would need all the protection that I could get. He was going to come for me. I don’t know now because his pack aren’t warriors. They’re a joke. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t find other ways of getting me. I knew that to be true. He was a monster. A manipulative monster. I shook my head, letting Connor know that he was wrong. “She came to me. She told me t
ALPHA CONNOR POV We searched high and low for Vera but there was no sign of her. She somehow managed to hide her scent, and he lost her trail. She was a good warrior and the guards on duty that had been watching her told me that she had been growing insane not being able to see me. So I don’t know what sort of mindset she was in right now. We all went back to the village to meet and gather intel in case they might have seen something that wasn’t important but could lead us to where she really was. We were in the middle of the village discussing what happened while looking for Vera and a couple of warriors had been attacked but there was only the one death. I was grateful for that. That was until I looked up towards my cabin and the two guards at my door were lying lifeless on the veranda. “Oh no.” I say running full speed towards my house. I jumped over their bodies and I slammed through the front door. But it was deathly quiet inside. I looked around the living room and kit
ALPHA CONNOR POV As soon as I got to the packhouse Alpha Silas was waiting in the living room for me with a couple of his warriors and Miles was with him. “She’s down in the dungeon.” Miles said, looking towards an open door. Without saying anything to anyone, I walked to the door and down the stairs. It smelt moldy and old and not fit for human’s. Which I thought was very suitable for Vera. The floor was concrete but the walls were brick and every cell that I passed I could see blood splattered on the walls and floors. They never even tried to clean up after torturing and interrogating prisoners. That didn’t bother me at all. I actually liked it. It could be a scare tactic for other prisoners that were put in the dungeon. And it would definitely work if someone was in trouble. I liked the setup of the dungeon. Mine is just a cave with chains in the walls. Which is why we needed 24-hour guards watching the prisoners. I could hear noises coming from the very last cell and there
