Chapter 5: The Dungeons!

**Alexandra**

I slipped my dress softly down my body, pooling around my feet and stepped out of it, feeling the cold air caress my body.

His face was hidden by the darkness but my eyes remained glued at the glowing red orbs that stared at me and the silhouette made by the moon glow.

I cupped my breasts shyly and felt my cheeks heat up as his gaze roved my body.

“Drop your hands!” He drawled in a low commanding voice making me comply immediately.

“A fine specimen. I can smell the weakness in you,” he spat, almost in disgust.

I felt my temper rising as he cupped my butt, his hands travelling slowly from my thighs and settling between my core and a moan involuntarily left my lips.

“ So wet,” he groaned and pushed me to the bed, looming above me.

I looked away, tears spilling from my eyes, the weight of what was about to happen dawning on me.

I had always fantasized about giving my virginity to my mate. A man who loved me.

But here I was, about to be ravaged by the same man who shattered my life. The man who should be dead and not having life's pleasure at his fingertips.

“Look at me.”he growled, using a finger to wipe off the tears that stained my cheeks and staining me with my juices.

I looked up and drew in a gasp at the masterpiece before me. His face hidden by the shadows was fully obvious now.

Raven black hair, perfectly messy like he ran his hands through it multiple times.

Thick lush eyebrows shaded his piercing crimson eyes which seemed to burn intensely with hints of mischief as if he knew the effect he was having on me.

His chiseled jawline looked like it was crafted by the finest hands and the stud in his left ear finished the whole look giving him the perfect bad boy appearance.

The werewolf before me was nothing like the rumors described.

“Uhmm….”

I was jerked back to reality as his warm tongue skittered around my nipples, sending unfamiliar sensations through me and my core tingling.

I grasped his shoulders, my fingernails digging into his back while his fingers drew patterns over my bud.

How was I supposed to hate my enemy when I was loving every touch of his?

But the sensations ended just as quick as it started as without warning I was flung roughly away, hitting the floor.

“Ahh…” I whimpered, tears prickling my eyes as my already healing wounds tore open.

Yep, I definitely still hate him.

I shot him look and noticed he was gripping the edge of the bed tightly, his claws out and his fangs bared.

His eyes were glowing brighter than usual, making a sense of dread and déjà vu course through me.

“Get out, he growled.

I looked around in confusion and scrambled out of the room with my clothes.

I raced to my quarters feeling my heart thundering in my ears.

On the plus side, I felt relieved not to sleep with him but what the hell happened?

Knock knock!

My head shot up as I looked at the door in panic.

“Open up, Alexandra,” it was Gideon.

“Yes,” I answered, my hand on the door knob still trembling.

“Tilly will be here soon to take care of your wounds. I'm here to warn you. Under no circumstance are you to ever go to the underground dungeon.

Do I make myself clear?” He barked, his eyes on mine.

What does that have to do with anything?

“Yes. But the Alpha–”

“Don't ask questions that will get you killed! Do you job and stay out of sight,” he spat and shut the door in my face.

I walked to the window mulling over the day's events.

What's the deal with this pack?

My mind wandered back to the conversation I heard earlier.

Was that why he flung me aside? Was he thinking of his ex fiancée?

That would explain it. He looked like he was in a great deal of pain.

“That's it!” I stood up excitedly, my lips twisting in a large smile as an idea formed in my head.

What better revenge is there than to relieve his trauma?

I paced pensively around my room, my head scheming.

For this to work, I have to sacrifice myself.

That shouldn't be an issue, I'd rather be dead anyway.

The rumbling of my stomach forced me out of my thoughts, but recalling Gideon's advice I ignored it for like 2 minutes before my body threatened to give way.

There didn't seem to be a bell or servant about who could help me get some food so I set out to the kitchen.

Maybe I could sneak in and find some food.

A few minutes later, my tummy was happily satisfied and I was on my way back, rejoicing at my luck.

“Stop!”

A haughty voice froze me in place, I felt a chill run down my spine.

“I'm sorry. I was hungry.” I bowed hurriedly, thinking it was a maid

“Who gave you the right to eat food from the Alpha's kitchen?” She scoffed.

“I wasn't aware–”

Smack!

Her fingers connected with my face, which began throbbing painfully. I'm sure it left an imprint.

“How dare you stare into the eyes of your future Luna while you speak? You uncouth bitch!”

I finally realized who it was. The lady who thinks she can soften the Alpha's heart.

Well news flash, you're about to have a competitor who isn't scared of death.

I rubbed my sore cheek and kept my eyes glued to the ground .

“I..I'm sorry Luna.”I choked out.

“Ohh, you must be the whore Kieran purchased. Let me tell you something swine, your days here are numbered!”

She sniffed at me, a chuckle spilling from her lips.

“Weak, wolf less and an omega,” she clicked her tongue and tore open my dress with a swipe of her claws.

“Lowlife shouldn't be clothed in things above them. You deserve rags and sack clothes.

Go to the dungeons below, you'll find clothes for your kind.”

The dungeons?

A protest left my lips before I could stop it. “ Beta Gideon said the dungeons are forbidden–”

Slap!

“You dare question me? I don't care what Gideon told you.

Go to the dungeons and find sack clothes,” she barked, twisting my ears hard and rudely pushing me in the direction of the dungeon.

I walked into the dungeon, a lantern in my hand, feeling my skin prickling from the eerie darkness that surrounded me.

GROWL!

I whipped my head around in alarm, feeling the ground tremble a little.

“Where did that noise come from?”

I had no idea where to look for the sack clothes and the dungeons looked menacing enough.

I cursed myself mentally for not listening to Gideon’s warning.

CLANG!

I heard the unmistakable sound of a chain being dragged and a low growl.

My forehead was covered with beads of perspiration as my only source of light got snuffed out as a breeze blew past.

I traced my fingers along the walls, trying to sense my way out.

Grr!

I jumped, my foot catching a loose stone and sending me falling hard on my behind.

I could hear the sound of an animal growling filling my ears, so close I could feel its breath on my face.

I looked up slowly, my dress drenched with sweat and my eyes met with two red blazing orbs.

“Haa, I didn't know I had fallen asleep already. It's a dream,”

I mumbled to myself as the creature bared its fangs and snarled at me, heavy saliva dropping on my cheek.

“It's a dream, it's a dream,” I thought as the creature sank its teeth into my arm and my sight went dark.
