Chapter 5

Cassandra's pov

I stared at the domineering sky scraper in front of me. Who the hell had a skyscraper as a pack house? Everything about the Lycans screamed money and they never wasted an opportunity to flaunt it.

"Welcome to your new home." The Lycan announced as he stood beside me. When it was glaringly obvious I had no where to run to, I had conceded but I knew it wasn't over and I would find my way out of the pack house no matter what.

I quietly followed behind the Lycan, ignoring the stares I was receiving as we walked. They stared at me as though I was an anomaly and in their world I guess I was. They were bo doubt wondering what a filthy little human was doing with one of their own.

"Alpha." A man whose face was pinched into a frown bowed as he addressed the Lycan.

Alpha?

My heart dropped as I recognized the title. It explained why this man's aura was so commanding and oozed of power. Was this a sick Joke? How would the alpha of the Lycans think I was his mate? Me, a human!

"Kael." The Lycan retorted.

"Is this her?" The man asked as he stared at me with an observant gaze. They had spoken about me?

"I'll show her to her room, you can wait for me in my office." The Lycan announced, ignoring the other man's question.

"Is this who?" A soft feminine voice asked and I turned to a beautiful sophisticated woman who had a small smile plastered on her face.

"Who is this Seb?" The woman asked as she assessed me with cold eyes. She had a softness to her but also a cold, calculating aura.

"No one you need to worry about Claire." The Lycan, Seb, retorted and the woman's eyes turned to slits.

"Why would you bring a human to the pack house? What would everyone think?" Her eyes darted back to me before she returned to the man who growled beside me.

"What I do is not to be questioned Claire, I'm the alpha and you had better remember your place," his voice held venom as he spoke.

"But I'm to be your Luna and that means I have a right to know things Seb," the woman announced defiantly and I stilled. If she was to be his Luna that meant they would most likely mate...where would that leave me? What would happen to me?

"I don't have time for this." Seb gritted out as he harshly gripped my arm and steered me away from the woman.

"Your hurting me." I called out to him as his hand squeezed my arm tightly. At my announcement he immediately let go of me and I gently massaged my sore arm with my fingers.

We stepped into the elevator and I pressed myself against the back of the metal as I tried to get as far away from this Lycan as I possibly could.

He stared at me for a second just before the elevator pinged and the doors slid open.

As I followed behind him I heard him nutter something about humans and how weak they were but I ignored it.

"Your room is directly next to mine." He announced as he held open a door to me. I slowly walked into the room and gasped at it's sheer magnificence. Everything about it was perfect and I couldn't help but wonder if I was in a dream.

"That is a conjoining door which will take you straight into my room-" he pointed to a door at the corner of the room.

"For now you are not to leave this room without me, you aren't allowed to wander aimlessly in the pack house unless I am at your side. If you need anything inform me and I'll have it delivered to you." The man announced and anger surged through me.

"Do you understand?" He quirked a brow at me when I remained silent.

"Just because I didn't put up a fight and I came here with you doesn't mean I'm your little prisoner who you can keep locked away forever." I gritted out but the man's countenance remained the same as he regarded me, save for a twitch of his lips.

"You look smart and I know you have already figured out I'm the Alpha king of the Lycans. You should also know that I am bound to have enemies, enemies who are waiting for the slightest hint of a weakness to use against me." The man stalked towards me as I backed away till I hit a wall. A low flame lit within me as I comprehended his words...he saw me as a liability, a weakness. What I couldn't understand though was why he hasn't just let me be, why did he have to drag me into his world?

"Finding my mate, a human at that, places you in great danger. No one needs to know right now that you are my mate, I'm already having a hard time figuring out what excuse I'll give for bringing a human to the pack house. I don't know what I'll do with you yet but for now, you stay in this room and talk to no one," he announced as he trapped me between himself and the wall.

My heart beat rapidly in my chest as I noticed his eyes flashing.

"Then why did you bring me here?" I croaked, ignoring the tears prickling the back of my eyes.

"My wolf needs you." He announced as he strolled away from me and towards the door.

"So what am I meant to do in here?" I called out to him as I hugged myself but h ignored me and gripped the door handle.

"I don't even know your name." I called out desperately.

The man paused for a second before he turned to me.

"Sebastian." He informed me with a nod before he left the room. A sob racked through me as I heard the soft nick indicating he had locked me in the room and my heart dropped.

Was this what my life would be like for the rest of my days?
