2: The Boy

What boy?

"Right away Alpha."

I looked behind over my shoulder and saw the dark-haired young wolf that kissed my cheek earlier.

"No, no! Please, he's only 18," I heard the frantic wails of a man.

"Let me go," the boy pleaded as Dwight dragged him up the steps.

"Shut the fuck up and stand over there," Dwight grunted as he shoved the boy up to my mate.

"What's your name, boy?" Alastor asked, towering like a mountain over the slender boy.

"Dennis, My Alpha." Dennis trembled as he spoke, refusing to look my mate in the eye.

"Dennis, what a marvellous name. A name fit for a man," my mate rumbled. "Are you a man, Dennis?"

"I—I," Dennis was at a loss for words.

"Do not stutter when you are talking to me, boy. I asked, are you a man?" The force of my mate's words rattled the chandeliers up above.

"I am a male, if that's what you mean, my Alpha."

"Someone is playing smart. Let me rephrase that. Have you ever fucked before?"

Before Dennis could answer, I screamed, "No! No! Don't do this, Alastor."

My body jerked when I felt a heavy palm against my ass. "Did I say you could talk, mate?"

"No," I let out.

"Good." I felt his lips on my ass where he hit. I would give anything right now to save this boy. "Back to you, Dennis. Have you ever fucked a girl before?"

"Yes, Alpha." He nodded his head. I was still looking over my shoulder. Dennis's eyes were filled with pure fear. The scent was staining the atmosphere, overpowering the smell of mine and my mate's arousal.

"Really? Or are you lying?" Alastor inquired.

"I would never lie to you, my Alpha."

"Very well then. What is this girl's name?" Alastor grinned. "Don't keep me waiting."

"Dahlia, my Alpha."

"What?" Dwight roared. "My daughter Dahlia?"

My mate let out a hearty laugh. "This is riveting." He spoke, and the crowd broke with laughter, too.

Dwight must have punched Dennis because I heard the youngster scream.

"Dwight, if you do that shit again, I will kill you." My mate warned. "Now Dennis, have you ever fucked a woman, I mean, a real woman?"

"No," I barely whispered when I gathered what sick game Alastor wanted to play.

"Answer me, boy!" Alastor boomed. But Dennis didn't answer. "OK then. Fitzroy, get up here now!"

I heard footsteps coming toward us. I looked over my shoulder and saw an older man, an Omega, that served in the kitchen.

"Do you know this boy, Fitzroy?"

"Yes, Alpha. He is my son." Fitzroy was scared. It was clear in his eyes.

"And how many sons do you have?" My mate asked.

"Three my Alpha. Dennis is my eldest."

"So if I kill him, you'll still have two to carry your family's name."

Fitzroy didn't respond.

"How about you boy," he turned to Dennis. "How many fathers do you have?"

Dennis's eyes shot up to meet Alastor's now. "One."

"Good. So if I kill him, you and your brothers would be orphans since your mother died years ago." My mate snickered. "So, are you ready to answer my question now?" He chuckled, and Dennis nodded. "Have you ever fucked a real woman?"

"No, my Alpha."

"Do you want to?"

"Yes, Alpha, I'd love to when I'm older," Dennis stated.

Alastor froze for a while. He was just standing there staring at the boy with evil intent. Suddenly, the clock chimed adding noise to the already noisy grand hall. It was the hour of 10 pm.

"Guess what, Dennis, you are a minute older. You get to fuck a real woman tonight." My mate slapped my ass, and the crowd went wild.

"Please don't," I yelled.

"Take your clothes off, Dennis," Alastor ordered.

"No, Alpha, he's just a boy," Fitzroy begged, grabbing onto Alastor's hand. Alastor's eyes darted to where Fitzroy's hand was.

"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME, YOU FILTHY SCUM!." Venom, Alastor's wolf was at the forefront. I couldn't look, so I closed my eyes.

Unfortunately, I couldn't do the same with my ears.

The sound of someone choking on their blood invaded my ears, sending icy chills up my spine. I heard a few gasps and then Dennis screamed in agony.

"No, father!" he sobbed.

There was a thud, then something was rolling across the floor closer to me. I slowly opened my eyes to investigate. My tears flowed freely as I saw Fitzroy's bloodied head settle a few feet from me.

"Dwight, take the boy home and from now on, no wolves of low ranked are allowed in the dining hall," Alastor demanded.

"Yes, Alpha." Dwight declared as he took a frantic Dennis away.

Alastor ordered another one of his goons to dispose of Fitzroy's head.

"We'll finish this tonight," Alastor told me as he threw my torn dress at me. "Cover yourself."

I covered as much as I could with the tattered dress. His warriors waited for us to be seated at the rectangular table before they settled in their chairs. I was the only female allowed to eat with them. This was one of Alastor's many ways of keeping an eye on me.

The double doors burst open and in strode the magnificent Trenton.

Beta Trenton always waited until after the Alpha's fuck session with me to turn up for supper.

"You're late... again," Alastor roared.

"You've been saying this for 12 years now, big brother," Trenton chuckled. "What did I miss?" His eyes finally found mine as he spoke.

"A lot," Alastor rumbled as he kissed my temple. A low growl escaped Trenton's throat, which made Alastor laugh.

A female Omega placed a plate before the Alpha, and then another before me. The raw, bloodied heart of poor Alpha Dexter Black lay dead on our plates.

"Delicious," Alastor licked his lips, dropping his head onto his plate, and tearing into the uncooked heart. He looked over at me. "Eat," he ordered.

My stomach churned, but I was a strong wolf. With my hands at my sides, I lowered my head and feasted on the half of the cold, dead heart on my plate. The taste was vile, I could sense the pain the wolf endured in his last hour. I chewed as fast as I could then washed down the taste with red wine.

The dining hall cheered with glee after the Alpha ate his share.

"Now We Feast!" Alastor commanded and the heartless puppets dug into their meals as well.

I watched them chomping down their meals and my wolf and I promised ourselves that the day will come when we get to kill every last one of them.
