3. Mate?

 Everyone stilled. No one dared to make a single move, with his deathly glare on all of us. For some reason, it didn't affect me like them. I wasn't scared. Hearing his voice ignited a spark in me I never thought I'd feel. My heart started pounding, my wolf howling in pleasure, at the possibility of finding our mate. But, I was confused, and angry.. Is he the reason all this happened?

  I turned towards the source. He was standing there radiating so much power. More than any normal alpha.

 "Who are you!? Why did you do this to us?!!" I screamed. I needed to know why.. why the person that, was supposed to love me could do this.. 

  He had long brown hair that he kept brushed back, beautiful green eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips that curved into what I would've thought to be the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen, if I wasn't consumed by hate. Hate for the man who destroyed my life, my family.

 He didn't utter a single word to me. Not to answer my questions, he didn't even react to the mate bond. He looked me up and down, then toward his guards. "Take them to the dungeons!" He ordered his men. Just like that, I was snatched, and dragged to a completely dark room. It stunk of death and sewer. The only noises other than us, were the painful moans of others, that's been in here for goddess knows how long. My wolf helped me see through the darkness.

  There were around 15 cells lined all the way down the dungeon. Every single cell had at least one person in it. Some cells had up to 5 people crammed in. They weren't even decent enough to make enough cells? Even for rogues, these living conditions are horrid. As I was observing everything around me, I heard some shuffling from behind.

 I turned to see what it was, at first I couldn't see anything. Slowly a petite woman who looked no older than 30 crawled over to me. At first I was a little nervous on what she was going to do. But. She just came, and sat as close to the bars in between us as she could. She looked at me with her big brown eyes for what felt like forever.

"Oh my, you shouldn't be here. Why are you here?" She mumbled almost incoherently.

"Uhm... my pack was attacked by them during my ceremony. They captured anyone they could, and killed the rest.." I whispered as tears threatened to spill. I didn't hear a single noise. I looked up, and saw her staring at me with regret, pity, sorrow, and... hope? I was so confused. I needed answers.

 "Who are you?" Smiling gently, hoping it'll help ease her into answering me.

"I... I am Cassie Asra. Previous Luna of the Blood oath pack." She spoke in a hushed voice. 

 "..... w...where am I?" I was so stunned.. this couldn't be.. I can't be here. If it's true.... we're all going to die. I'll never save my pack. This pack is filled with monsters. They never accept visitors to their lands. No other alpha has been here. Except for the Asras. Any rogue that's ever crossed here, evil, innocent, on purpose, or by accident. They don't care. Everyone is subject to death. My father always told me of the horrors. I thought they were all myths... but, now. Now not so much. 

  She looked at me with the most tender, motherly eyes, that held so much pain, and sorrow. "Darling, I'm so sorry. This should have never happened to you. You are meant for great things. I truly hope you find your way out of this. When you do, I know you'll change our world. You'll make things right." With that, she rushed back to her side of her cage, as soon as the door was slammed open. 

  As soon as that door opened, ocean beeze with a hint of lavender consumed my senses. It made my wolf howl in happiness at the close proximity of our so-called mate. It did the complete opposite for me. Disgusting shivers ran down my back at the thought of being his. I was too deep in my thoughts of hating him, that I didn't notice him standing right in front of me.

   "Look who we have here." He said in a condescending tone.

  "Either tell me what you want. Or, get the hell away from me!" I let my wolf show herself, and used every ounce of my alpha tone. Not to make him submit. But, so he knows. I hate him. I will find my way out. I will kill him. I will be the rightful alpha that I was meant to be. Surprise flashed across his eyes. As soon as it was there, it was also gone. At least I know I affected him somehow. 

  He leaned closer to the bars and whispered. " Well, hello my beautiful mate." With that mesmerizing smile that I want to hate so bad. I can't be with him. Not after he destroyed my whole family. He isn't worthy of me. I need to reject him. But, to do that, I need his name.

   "What should I call you? My mate." Licking my lips slowly, then put on the best sensual smile I could. Well, in my condition that is. He smiled brightly. It worked! He's going to tell me! Thinking I was moments away from being free from him. I didn't realize the evil glint that showed in his eyes. 

   "Babygirl. I know what you plan to do. Apparently, yours or my wolf isn't so keen on the idea. Seeing, how she immediately told us your plans." I was so shocked... how could she.. even after losing our pack to him! After losing our family! She still wants to be with him!!? This infuriated me beyond bounds. I leaped at him and tried to claw his throat out through the bars. I needed him dead.

  "Don't worry you will accept me. Willingly, or by force. Your choice. No rush." With that he left the room.

"ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, I WILL KNOW YOUR NAME. I WILL REJECT YOU. THEN I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!!" 

  In an instant, he was back in the room. Staring straight at me with the most wicked eyes. He threw the cage door open and stomped inside. He grabbed me harshly by the back of the neck, pulled me in with his other arm around my waist. " You are mine. Now and forever. Whether you like it or not. The sooner you accept it, the better."

He roughly kissed me on the lips. Grabbed my ass then stormed out of there.

  "...what just happened? Why did I like it?"
