As soon as I had finished getting dressed, which took me only a few minutes, I was prepared to go with my brother. Even though I was hoping against hope that Russell would be okay and that he would come save me from the alpha's grasp, my heart was pounding wildly with fear. The two of us had no intention of breaking away from the pack, but I knew there was no way out. Never did we plan to move anywhere else in the pack before we were mated, but under the current conditions, it seems unlikely that we will be able to.
When my brother walked into my room and asked me coldly, "Are you ready?," I was probably unable to think straight and was on the verge of passing out.So as to calm my nerves, I took a deep breath and then managed to stutter out a weak "yes."My thoughts returned to the clock as I hoped that Russell would soon be here.In case you were wondering, neither Russell nor I have ever had any kind of sexual encounter, and neither of us told my brother about it. So this alpha would rob me of my first night with my virginity, making me hate myself, my future, and everyone in this pack.I walked slowly toward my brother until we were outside, where he grabbed my hand and we both stopped to see if Russell had arrived. When my brother hurried me into the car, I glanced out the window and recognized an elderly neighbor. They said hello, but all I did was nod politely and retreat to the safety of my vehicle.I felt my body tremble as I watched my brother pull away from me; I opened the car window and stared at him in disbelief. Because of this, I was able to deduce that it wasn't my brother's car, but rather another royal car. Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the Alpha's cars. 'Where are you going?' I yelled at him. " Where exactly are you going? Derek! You mustn't leave me here alone, okay?"And I'll never forget the way he stared at me, as if I were trapped in that place with no way out but to leave.There was no way I was getting out of there alive, and I had given up hope long before that.With a silent prayer in mind, I reached up and touched the necklace hanging around my neck, then looked down at the picture of Russell. The thought of establishing a mental connection with Russell and having him hear my pleadings of "please, Russell, help me" filled me with optimism.My heart was pounding so hard in my chest that I thought I might stop breathing. As I closed my eyes, I tried to contain the tears that were welling up in my eyes. A man who looked to be one of the alpha's warriors got into the car, locked the door, and settled into the driver's seat. Undoubtedly, he was worried that I might try to get away. They all knew that I wasn't a whore and that I was in love with someone else.We were only a few minutes into our ride, but it felt like hours before we reached the castle. This castle wasn't where the alpha's luna and their pups lived; instead, it was where the alpha could have fun with his sluts and do his dirty work.As the driver helped me out of the car and showed me the exit, I took a few deep breaths to calm my nerves. The only people I could see were the two guards posted by the gate, and from what I could tell, they were alone. The driver took me to the castle's main gate, where he waited while I walked through and locked the door behind me.I was rendered helpless below the waist and unable to yell out in agony. Once I finally meet the alpha, I've decided I'll beg for mercy.I hoped that he would have compassion for me and free me from my captivity.I can't believe what a dolt I was!When only seconds had passed, the alpha began strutting confidently down the stairs. Overall, he came across as pompous, self-absorbed, and royal. Although he was approaching his forties, he didn't appear to be more than thirty.Without any trace of shame in his eyes, he regarded me as though I were a prize he had won and as though I were something he owned.After putting my thoughts aside, I knelt before him. I begged him, "Please, alpha, let me go," but he didn't answer me. " I'm committed to my mate. We also love each other very much. I'm not only seriously considering marrying him, but I already have!"After that, I revealed to him the diamond ring that Russell had given me the day before.The alpha gave me the evil eye before grabbing my shoulders and helping me to my feet. The moment I got to my feet, he scoffed and said, "I don't fucking care. For tonight, at least, you belong to me. Maybe I'll keep you as my... slave forever."After that, I just stared ahead, terrified and bewildered.My voice shook as I stutter-asked, "w-what? But then why? You have a luna and everyone treats her with respect; you also have puppies; but I am not your slave and never will be."He laughed as heartily as if I had just told him a joke. “You have got to be kidding. One of two things will happen: either you'll do everything I say or your brother and your mate will die. This point in time, the decision is entirely up to you."I loved Russell very much, but I knew I couldn't let him turn me into a slave at that time, so I turned my head and pointed the tip of my nose at him, saying, "No, I refuse to be your slave. You're free to act however you like."The alpha's face flushed with anger and frustration, and he yanked me by my hair and dragged me upstairs, where I fought with him and tried to get away but ultimately failed. In spite of being repeatedly punched in the face, all I could yell was, "Russell!"While I was in the alpha's bedroom being restrained, Russell burst in shouting, "let her go now!" as if he had heard me or was following us.Russell was the one who gave orders to the alpha, despite the alpha's higher rank. I couldn't fathom how Russell had made it to the castle so quickly, much less how the guards could have let him in. Still, I had faith that he would do whatever it took to save me from the clutches of these scumbag alpha.I couldn't help but smile when Russell snatched the alpha away from me and I announced, "Russell, you are here."Russell hugged me tightly and then pushed me out the door, saying, "Run now," but I couldn't go because I didn't want Russell to have to face the alpha alone.The alpha shut the door behind us with a single glance and threw us both with a deadly glare. He then said to Russell, "it's nice to see you here because you'll watch me fucking your lovely girl here now," in an assured voice.So that he wouldn't have to listen to the foul language any longer, Russell changed into his wolf form. In his wolf form, the alpha was still noticeably faster and larger. The alpha and Russell got into a fight, and the alpha nearly killed Russell in their unrequited conflict before Russell grabbed one of the knives from the table and stabbed him in the heart.It was indeed Russell who ended the alpha.I blacked out at the sight of blood spattered across the entire scene.After what felt like an eternity, I finally opened my eyes and found myself in Russell's house. Russell seemed genuinely terrified throughout what seemed to me like a nightmare. He brought me a water glass. " Just drink this now. Time is of the essence. Currently, our only option is to make a hasty exit."Incredulous, I questioned, "What? Why?”Though his intentions were good, Russell's hands were icy as he cupped my cheeks and sat on the bed next to me in an attempt to comfort me and warm me up. " I took out the pack leader, and now the rest of the wolves will follow me anywhere I go," Russell boasted. "You can either stay where you are and let me escape the pack by myself, or you can come with me."Without hesitation, I gave my assent to this."I'll be there with you in a heartbeat. There is no way out of this: we must either stay together or perish together.Eva"You can stay here and let me escape the herd by myself, or you can come with me," Russell offered. " You have the luxury of choosing between the two."In addition, I immediately agreed with the proposal, with no hesitance on my part. " There is zero doubt in my mind that I will be leaving with you. This is our only chance, so let's make the most of it before it's too late."Although I had said so, Russell retracted his statement after coming to the conclusion that he loved me even more than everything else. Since then, Russell has been giving serious thought to ending our bond.Without another word, he released his grip on my face and shook his head, "no, I can't take you with me into the unknown territory." I was very dissatisfied.I gave him an extremely solemn expression. "Russell, I have no idea what you mean by that. In fact, we're both committed to making this relationship work. The current situation is too chaotic for you to simply abandon me. This is our only chance, so l
RussellFor Eva, who meant more to me than life itself, I was prepared to give up everything. But after I killed the alpha, I began to feel like I was dead for real. Since she was my true mate, I will never feel bad about saving her from the alpha's clutches, but I never in a million years thought I'd turn into a rogue or a killer! In all my years, the thought of committing murder or serious bodily harm to another person has never even crossed my mind.I was not created for battle; rather, my destiny is to serve others with kindness and vigilance.I will never forget the alpha's last gasps of air, nor will I ever forget the sight of blood pooling around him.Getting my head around it was a challenge.Not to mention, I was forced to keep a low profile for fear of being discovered, just like a real-life criminal. The rest of the pack would never believe me. I need to spill the beans on everything that went down if I want them to take me seriously, but
Russell I reached out and took her hand, and we stumbled our way through the dark woods. In order to avoid being discovered by the rest of the pack, we made sure to keep a constant vigilance on the horizon. My faint hope that the cute little cottage was uninhabited was soon dashed when I realized that the only way to find out for sure was to pay a visit.After a short journey, we arrived at the cottage's front door, but the lights had gone out. "Everyone, please keep quiet and stay where you are. I need to check inside to see if anyone lives here, so if you'll excuse me, I have to go inside.Her head nodding and willingness to do as I commanded were clear signs of her submission. The door was too small for me to have any trouble opening it, and it didn't look like anyone had lived there in a long time. So I did the only thing I could think of: I breathed a sigh of relief and called her name to have her come inside.She then walked in. There was only a solitary old sofa and absolutely
EvaIn spite of the fact that it took some time, Russell and I were eventually able to consummate our relationship and merge into a single entity. I don't think there was ever a point in my life when I didn't daydream about being in his presence. I was aware of the fact that I had never in my wildest dreams envisioned spending our first night together and losing my virginity in such a way, but in spite of this, I discovered that I enjoyed it very much, and the process moved fairly quickly. I also found that it was relatively easy to do.After he freed me from the alpha's grasp, it fell on me to free him as well as myself from the situation we were in. I simply am unable to fathom a point in my life when I will no longer be able to call him a part of it.When we were both walking and venturing further into the woods, I couldn't help but cast a few sidelong glances in Russell's direction every so often. I completely forgot to ask him about his plans for the future, which is an error tha
RussellI couldn't believe it, because I wasn't a moron, and that wasn't the best time to be frittering away money. Someone took our money, and even if I wanted it back, I wouldn't live with the pack again in the house we used to share. Unfortunately, I couldn't comply. I know that if I set foot inside that pack again, I will be killed instantly.Eva's life wasn't always so tough, and I felt bad for her because of that. She wasn't exactly living the high life, but neither was it that bad. The house she lived in was nothing special.When I saw how scared she was, all I could do was hug her tightly and try to reassure her by saying, "It's going to be okay." "If you can help it, honey, try to hold back the tears. I'm going to figure out a solution to this issue. Don't fret; I'll make it my mission to locate suitable employment and lodgings for us. Put your mind at ease."When I saw that she was dizzy, I kept kissing her cheeks. I felt like my spirit had been sucked out of me, and I didn'
RussellI was terrified by the tone of their yells as they directed them at me, demanding that I stop dead in my tracks. In an instant, my whole life played out before me, and I saw myself dead or, even worse, spending the rest of my days locked up in a cell until I rotted away. The warriors were already too close, and their fighting skills and speed far surpassed those of anyone else, so even if I tried to run away, I would never make it anywhere. All the while, my heart was thumping furiously in my chest, and I knew I couldn't run away.In my case, I simply took my place and played my part. When I finally managed to catch my breath and look at them, they had already moved on to pay attention to someone else who had been following us.I felt like crying; it had never occurred to me that I could be so lucky. There was a great heave on my part. It wasn't directed at me, but at someone else in the room. The suspect was cuffed and taken away afterward. At this time, I
Russell"Lucas!" It took him by surprise to see me there, especially chatting with the alpha, so I hugged him and he hugged back.Totally taken aback, Lucas asked, "Are you serious?" "Why are you just standing around in this area, Russell? What are you doing? Just why didn't you give me a call?"A sigh escaped me, and I mumbled, "Since my wallet and ID were in the car that broke down on the way here, I cannot prove my identity. In all honesty, it's a tragic event that drags on for quite some time. My primary goal while in this pack, however, is to find work."The alpha regarded me and then turned to Lucas, asking, "so, you know him already?" Despite Lucas's hesitance, the alpha persisted in asking him a question.It was a yes from Lucas, so "Absolutely, Alpha. Quite some time has passed since we last saw each other.""Good, then take Russell to fix the limo," the alpha said, and the conversation continued.The immovability of Lucas's stance gave me
RussellI went to the castle with Lucas, but I didn't actually go inside; the gates were enormous, and there was a huge garden as well as a massive horse stable and a huge garage for cars. Strangely, Lucas made every effort not to take me straight to the garage when we were leaving the restaurant. Or at least that's what I thought at the time.On the other hand, he led me straight to the stable where the horses were kept."Follow me," huffed Lucas, looking at me with an annoyed expression.My curiosity led me to ask and wonder, "to where? You were tasked by the alpha with showing me to the lodgings where I will be residing."Lucas laughed at me while making fun of me and asked, "place? You actually believe that you are going to remain in a positive environment, don't you?"I narrowed my eyes, perplexed, but seriously, his words made my heart pound hard in my chest; I hoped for the best, and responded with "yes, sort of."However, Lucas pointed to me with the back of his head and said,
