Mated To The Enemy Alpha

RoryThe smell of mold hit my nostrils, the iron smell of blood—my blood- filled the room.I groaned, my eyes unable to open. My back was pulsing from the flogging, eyes blurry.I don’t know how long I have been here, but it felt like an eternity. I lifted my gaze to look at Jared, still holding the whip.“Come on, Rory, meet me halfway,” he said, his voice low and quiet.“I don’t…” My throat hurt from the screaming and yelling I had done since they brought me here.“I don’t think she knows anything, Bruno.” He turned to his friend, and Bruno shook his head. The man loathed me more than my own parents; he didn’t even try to hide it anymore.“She does. Do you think this bitch would want to see this pack succeed? She hates us.” He pointed at me, his voice laced with disgust and anger.“Please, Jar. I don’t know,” I pleaded, and he lowered his head, looking away. Jared was my best friend growing up, but ever since he assumed the role of Gamma, he treated me like shit, just like everyone

RoryThe drive out of Night Wing took longer than I thought it would. When I snapped my eyes open later in the night, we were still on the road. I ended up pretending to sleep again, staring out at the dark woods.I don’t know how long I stared at the window, but when I woke up again, it was late in the night, and the car was pulling into a town.I groaned, feeling my throat and lips dry. My head was throbbing so hard, but the pain in my shoulder was more intense.I narrowed my eyebrows, then shifted my attention to him. He had sat back, his arms crossed over his chest. I took my time to look at him; his knees brushed against the front seat, even though he had spread his legs. He was tall. My eyes trailed up to his face, a black mask, but I could see he had a chiseled jawline and full lips. Every time the streetlights flashed into the car, I glimpsed his face.I squinted at my eyes, looking closer, but the car suddenly pulled over. I immediately looked away.“We’re here,” Darius said,

RoryI sat on the floor, my eyes darting around the room. He might have said this was my room, but I didn’t think that would be true.A knock came on the door, startling me as I struggled to get to my feet. I didn’t get any sleep in the last five hours.When the door opened, I froze, my eyes on the woman who had just walked in. Her eyes darted from the bed to me, getting up.“Good morning,” I said, smoothing my light grey dress, then wiping my mouth.“You didn’t sleep on the bed,” she said monotone.I don’t respond because I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing. She looks angry.“You must be Diane. Nice to meet you.” I extended my hand to greet her, but she frowned, looking at my hand with a disgusted look.“I’m sorry.” I pulled my hand back, rubbing my still-aching bruises on my arm. She inhaled sharply, walking to the bed.“You need to get dressed. There’s a presentation in an hour,” she said, placing clothes on the bed, and I narrowed my eyebrows, peering at her.“Presentation?”

Orion“You can’t break what’s already broken, Orion.” The words lingered in my mind as I strode towards the training ground. The way her eyes looked at her, the vulnerability and pain when she looked at me.Fuck.I shouldn’t let her affect me like this.“What the fuck is going on?” I tried to tune out the thoughts in my mind. She was her father’s daughter. His blood runs in her veins.“We caught intruders.” Darius joined me, walking past the training grounds to the Basement.“Intruders? Are you sure they are not—” I stopped midway when I noticed it was just a woman and a little boy, who was about nine years old. The only problem is that I know who this woman is.“How the hell did you get here?” I asked her, and she swallowed hard, pulling the little boy closer to her, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears and her lips trembling.“We followed the cars.” The woman said, her voice cracking, and I turned to Darius and Alex, who shrugged their shoulders.“We had a fucking tail.”“I certain

OrionFuck!I shouldn’t let her affect me, but she does, and I hate myself for it. And the worst part is, I don’t know why.“Did you find the ones who fled?” I asked Darius, who walked into the office.He glanced at Luke, then back at me.“It’s a fucking question, Darius. Did you capture them, yes or no?” I didn’t have time for his nonsense this morning.“Yes. But there’s something we need to tell you.”Before he could finish his sentence, I was already on my way out of the office. Heading towards the holding cells.“You wanted me here?” Jaxon asked, falling in step with me as we made our way to the basement.“Yes. What the fuck was that in there?”“Nothing,” he replied, but I could tell he was hiding something. I have known him for years, so I know when he’s keeping something from me. I know his history with that girl, so I don’t plan to ignore it.“It didn’t look like that, Jax. Are you sure you are—”“If you’re wondering if my past with her will affect our plans.” He pushed the doo
