Chapter 5

Ryker looked down at me with a mixture of surprise and pity in his eyes. He knew the kind of danger I was facing and the fear in my heart was palpable. 

“Marcelline, you don't have to do this. You are not a slave, you are a wolf and you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. You are not going back to that house, I promise you that” Ryker said firmly.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, the Alpha was going to protect me? I never thought I would find someone who would stand up for me and defend me against my own family. 

“Thank you, Alpha Ryker. I am forever grateful for your kindness and generosity. I will do my best to serve you in any way I can” I said with tears still streaming down my face.

Ryker helped me up and turned to face Uncle Levi and Aunty Rena, who were watching the scene unfold in shock. 

“Marcelline has made her choice and I support it. She stays here in the alpha house under my protection. Any objections?” Ryker asked, his tone challenging.

Uncle Levi and Aunty Rena exchanged a glance before Uncle Levi spoke up, “No objections, Alpha Ryker. Marcelline is under your protection. We will inform the council of this decision” he said with a forced smile.

With that, they left the alpha house and I was left standing there in disbelief. I never thought I could escape the clutches of my abusive family, but Alpha Ryker had given me a chance at a new life. 

I couldn't help but feel grateful to him and vowed to do everything in my power to prove my worth and loyalty to him. Alpha Ryker had saved me and I would forever be in his debt.

As I settled into my new home in the alpha house, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and safety that I had never experienced before. Alpha Ryker and the other wolves treated me with respect and kindness, and I felt a sense of belonging that I had never felt with my own family.

I worked hard to prove my worth to Alpha Ryker, taking on any task he assigned me with determination and diligence. And as time went on, I earned the trust and respect of the other wolves in the pack as well. I found a sense of purpose and belonging that I had never experienced before, and I was grateful every day for the chance that Alpha Ryker had given me.

But even as I settled into my new life, I knew that the danger from my family was not entirely gone. I knew that they would not give up easily, and that they would do anything to get me back. But with Alpha Ryker by my side, I knew that I had a better chance of facing whatever challenges came my way.

And so, with Alpha Ryker's protection and the support of my new pack, I faced the future with a newfound strength and courage, ready to take on whatever challenges came my way. I was no longer a slave to fear, but a wolf ready to fight for my own freedom and happiness. And I knew that with Alpha Ryker by my side, I would never have to face those battles alone.

Together, we were stronger than ever before, and I knew that no matter what obstacles came our way, we would face them together as a united pack. Alpha Ryker had given me a second chance at life, and I was determined to make the most of it.

I will forever be grateful to Alpha Ryker for saving me from my abusive family and giving me a chance at a new life. And as we stood side by side, ready to face whatever challenges came our way, I knew that with his protection and the support of our pack, we would be able to conquer any obstacle that stood in our path.

I may have once been a slave to fear and pain, but now I was a wolf ready to fight for my own freedom and happiness. And with Alpha Ryker by my side, I knew that together, we would be unstoppable.
