Dinner with the Alpha

Olivia

“You are giving me my phone,” I whispered.

My hand touches the item on the table.

I was tempted to make sure I was not hallucinating this.

My gaze darted to Luca, who had no emotions on his face.

But why?

I messed up, I walked into his room after every warning, and I caused the death of one of his guards.

Was this another trap of his?

“Do you want it or not?” Luca asked and I didn’t speak.

“I just-“ I was about to say when I kept quiet, I didn’t think he wanted to hear any of this. “Thank you,” I mumbled against my breath.

There were messages from Gabby, voicemails, texts, a few others, she had contacted me on every app possible, and I needed to speak to her, stop her from making a mistake.

Luca didn’t say a word to me, he didn’t even spare me a glance, all his attention was on his phone. As he typed aggressively.

The food came in no time.

“Not the pasta,” Luca uttered.

The waiter and I both turned to look at him.

“I want the pasta,” I whispered.

His eyes darted to mine.

“Not the pasta.” He stressed again and I felt tempted to roll my eyes at him, now he wants to control what I eat.

Is this about me getting fat? I had hoped not, that was one thing I would not tolerate from the Alpha.

The waiter didn’t dare disrespect him and I didn’t dare do that either.

He served me the rice instead and Luca got the pasta.

My stomach twisted in anger.

The rice looked good yet it was not enough to diminish the anger I felt for Luca.

I let my thoughts get the best of me.

Don’t do it Liv.

I didn’t listen.

I took a bite of his pasta, Luca didn’t react, I took another bite and three more, he didn’t even spare me a glance.

It tasted just like I imagined it, I ate as much as I wanted.

It was like I was not even there.

I was tempted to yell his name and tell him to stop being an asshole yet I didn’t, I could never give him that satisfaction.

The moment I dropped the cutlery on the table.

My pulse raced.

A sudden wave of heat filled my body

“Can you get them to make it a little cooler?” I asked and he didn’t speak, he ate silently.

A wave of goosebumps filled my body, and I felt a shattering numbness in my stomach.

I know that feeling.

I stared at the pasta again and his words ringing into my head

Not the pasta.

I thought he was just being an asshole, but the pasta had garlic in it, and I am deadly allergic.

Tears sprinkled down my cheek. I stared at Luca again and this time his eyes were on mine.

I felt a rash itching on my throat, the feeling burned my skin, and more tears rained down my cheek as my hands started to tremble in pain.

“Help me.”

He didn’t speak, he didn’t even spare me a second glance.

I gasped and choked for air.

My mind hazed with thoughts as Luca continued to eat, he finished the bowl of pasta, and only then did he turn to look at me.

“You are stubborn Olivia.” He spoke.

I struggled to utter the words yet I could not.

Fear crawled up my spine, and my hands hit the table.

“Do not cause a scene.” Luca threatened.

“Helpmerightnow,” I yelled, slurring on the words I uttered.

He smirked

Did he realize what was happening? How I felt.

“I warned you, I imagined you thought I was trying to control you, don’t you think the Alpha would have better things to do than to control what his wife will eat, I never warn anyone more than once Olivia and for you I did.”

As if it were a favor.

My eyes brimmed with more tears, my tongue had gotten twice as big and I was struggling to breathe.

My hand found its place around my neck, as if that could do anything for me.

“You need to learn how to listen princess.” He spoke.

He leaned in and his finger found its place to my eyes where he wiped my tears, he stared at me again.

“I never intended to punish you, you must have felt guilty, to want to punish yourself, I should have known. A girl like you would fit right in my world.”

I turned away from him, I could feel my wolf suffocating, begging me to help yet I can’t

I didn’t come out with my EpiPen, I didn’t think I would need it, hell I didn’t have any, I left everything at home.

I watched as Luca pulled something out of his pocket.

Did he anticipate this would happen?

He read my behavior even before it could happen.

Fuck.

He pulled the pin out and he smirked before he pushed it into my skin, he was not gentle.

Rough and angry.

My body felt limp as the drug rushed through my body, he held my body with one hand, stopping me from falling to the ground, as he moved his chair close to me and I rested on his arm.

He would have let me die if we were alone in his home, not here.

Not where people could see what had happened. And talk about how the Alpha could not even care for his wife.

“Next time listen.” Luca threatens and I didn’t speak.

I closed my eyes, letting the drug work its course, my body aching with pain, death tasted good for a second, I had almost felt free from his torture, I had almost slipped into a life where he won’t be there, where I could be alone and happy.

Where I didn’t have to be controlled by a monster like him.

As thoughts clouded me, I  slipped into darkness.
