Dahlia's POV Continued Moving slightly I opened my jaw, then without anything else mattering around me I clamped down hard onto his neck. Teeth sliding through fur and flesh as blood started to fill my mouth. The metallic taste flowed in making me want to gag but I resisted the urge as a growl slipped from him. A white hot pain sliced through my side forcing me to want to release my hold but I endured as I screamed inside my head. I could feel Alanah forcing us to maintain our hold despite the instinct to let go. His claws were ripping into our side, the pain was excruciating as he seemed to dig inside me deeper but I bit down harder until I heard the gurgle. He was choking. He wasn't spitting insults any longer. The only sounds inside my mind were Alanah's whimpers of pain mixed with my own. It felt like an eternity. Laying there as I felt his body becoming weaker. He tried to pull back but stopped when my teeth slid across his jugular. His grip in my side lessened.
Levi's POV My body ached with every small movement. My head spun in circles as they tore into one another but that singular moment, that exact second I felt her clamp down around his neck it felt as if the teeth were sinking into my own flesh. How can I be an Alpha if I feel so much? When she spoke those words, when she said she was fighting for me to be Alpha, my world froze. She believes in me through it all. She sees me in a way I'm unsure I could ever see myself. Just another reason that shows she was always meant for this role, not me. She was to be Alpha with me by her side as her Beta or just her brother. I lack the confidence in myself to lead others but I'm great at taking orders, at following. Yet her faith in me makes me want to be everything she believes I can be. Alexi hasn't left my side since we got here, since this fight began. I can feel his body vibrating next to mine as I shrink onto myself from the pain. Like a snap inside my head I screamed out while my
Dahlia's POV I was so excited, looking at myself in the floor length mirror of my dressing room. I was to be married today, to my mate. He was the Beta of my pack, the Knight Moon Pack. The pack is named after my family. My great great great grandfather was the first Alpha here, the man that put this whole pack together.He had triplet sons, all mated to one woman who gave birth to three boys, one with each triplet. Two of them left to start a pack across the country when my grandfather took over for this pack.He had a son with my grandmother, a long line of only boys in this family until my father had me. The first female to be born into the Knight family. He and my mother proceeded to have another child, my brother Levi, who is just a year younger than myself.Dad really never had much to do with me but was proud when he found out I was mated to the man stepping into the Beta position alongside my brother next year when he took the Alpha spot.We have to wait until he turns eighte
Dahlia's POV Continued Alanah would get quiet, like she was receding in my mind where I couldn't reach out to her. It made my heart rate spike as a sheen of sweat would form on me. Almost like I was having a panic attack while I'd get this odd feeling inside myself, in my stomach like a small ball of pain.It felt different today though, almost pleasurable at the same time it hurt, the pull stronger than before as I stepped down the little steps that led to the mirror. Slowly opening my door, I peered out into the hallway, looking from the left to the right as the pull got stronger than before.I stepped out of my dressing room, turned to the right and followed the hall down a bit before turning left into another hallway. I felt as if I was in a daze as I continued down. It felt as if the stretch of hallway kept getting longer, but I was just taking very slow, calculated steps as my heart rate would keep increasing.Something was wrong, then I took another step forward to see a door c
Dahlia's POV Continued I felt the tether snap, he fell down to his knees as he howled out in pain. His hand reached out for me but I knocked it away from me."Accept it Parker! Accept my rejection!""NO! I won't accept it.""Then you shall feel the pain every time I lay with someone, you will long for the bond you chose to hold onto as I severed mine."His hand reached back out to me, he begged me to take it back, but I knew why, without me he would become weaker instead of stronger when marking me. He didn't want me, no, he wanted the power and strength that would come to him by being with me.Now he will have to explain why I have rejected him, why I won't be here when they call for me to walk down the aisle.I turned my body, my dress swishing around before I walked out of the room, the Omega still cowering in the corner of the room as she witnessed it all.Slamming the door behind me I ran down the hall, back around the corner, passed my room to the double doors that sat closed at
Dahlia's POV Continued"Just realizing you are no longer home little Alpha? I can smell your fear, you know."He said as he began circling around me."You ran into me, you came running with tears streaming down your face, in a wedding dress at that. You say that 'You were' supposed to marry the boy that should become Beta to your own pack, isn't that right?Yet what I'm trying to understand is why you would run away from a mate" He sniffed the air around me, "One you have mated with, yet you bear no mark from him. Tell me Alpha Dahlia Knight, why have you run away?"He stepped back in front of me, his eyes still black as night as he stared straight into my soul."I rejected him."His eyes went wide as he stood there looking at me."When did you do this?""I rejected him, I found him balls deep inside an Omega.Then ran from that damn hall I was to marry him in."I slammed my mouth shut after I spoke, I can't believe I had said that out loud, I'm such an idiot."Did he accept this rejec
Dahlia's POV ContinuedLooking up at this man, it's almost like his expression had softened a bit as he looked at me, making my head tilt as I stared into his eyes."How did you find me so fast? Not your guards?"His eyes widened a bit before, shock flashing through his eyes before it was gone as fast as it came. A small chuckle came from him, a wicked looking smile formed on his face revealing his canines as his eyes went dark."Because I could smell you coming."Fear ran through my body when I was suddenly lifted up into the air and thrown over his shoulder as he began trucking us through the woods."Umm, you don't have to carry me. I won't run from you, I promise. I can walk."He stopped moving as I felt his hand travel up my body, rounding over my ass making my heart skip a beat as his hand landed on the small of my back before he gently moved me down his body before steadying me on my feet."If you run from me, I will find you, I will always be able to find you now. You can never
Dahlia's POV Continued"What's wrong little Alpha, don't like what you see?"I swallowed slowly before I turned my head back to him, my eyes closed as I felt him standing over me. His hand came to my chin as he tilted my head up before whispering to me to open my eyes.Taking in a deep breath, the scent of gingerbread mixed with kindling entered my nose making my eyes snap open as I looked up to this man."Am I not a desirable little Alpha female? Should my feelings be hurt by your actions?"I slowly shook my head as I couldn't seem to tear my eyes away from him before seeing him move down my body when he made a disapproving sound. "Look what I did to your dress. Blood seeping into the fabric, spreading through the lace and silk staining it. I hope you aren't too upset about it, it still looks perfect on you, maybe a bit more now actually."I looked down at my dress, the blood strewn across the front of it, missing the corset thankfully, then looked back up to him to see his eyes st
