FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER

“I'm doing your bidding, Atlas. Promise me it's just this once” Derek was greeted with silence. “You are so annoying, idiot.” He swore, angry that his wolf had gone silent on him since he rejected the traitor's daughter.

All means to placate him proved useless, and he needed him during the meeting with other alphas.

As he walked towards the room where the girl was kept, his pace slowed, and he wished he were anywhere but there.

“Why on earth are you even not on the same page with me on this? She's not even marked by me. Won't she be better off our toy?” he asked Atlas, hoping that his wolf would respond, but he was greeted with pure silence again.

Carly had a thousand thoughts running through her head. “Is he going to mark me? What made him change his damn mind?”

She rushed towards the door to see if she can escape, but the door was shut firm. Glancing back and scanning the room, she spotted the window. “That's right, the window,” she whispered with renewed hope

She ran towards the window and opened it and peered through. The height was so high, but she didn't have a choice. It was either that or spend a night with the brute king. 

“Careful, Carly,” Alexis warned her, skeptical about her idea.

“Don't worry, I'll not put you in harm's way,” she replied while tying the ends of her gown to avoid any obstruction.

Just when she placed her right leg over the window, the door to her room flung opened, and she turned to stare at the intruder, only to see her object of absolute horror staring back at her.

“If I were you, I'll not even consider that, except you have a kink for wells with wolfs bane,” he told her while clenching his jaw. It was obvious to both of them that they were irritated by each other. 

“Why are you here?” she visibly gulped, scared of his answer. And terrified he might hurt her even more for running her mouth and trying to escape. 

“To make you breed my pups, of course,” He replied her “Are you that dumb that you haven't figured it out yet?” 

Taking her leg back into the room, she left the window and walked towards him. “But you rejected. Now you want to use me as one of your sluts to breed? I don't care! I only want you to just die.” Carly said with so much hate. 

His eyes turned red, and he was visibly trying to rein his temper in. “Now, you listen to me. You have no right to turn me away. I am the Supreme Alpha and also, your fated mate to toy with. You are stuck with me. So, I'll fuck you whenever and wherever I please,” he placed his hands on her neck, brought her face close to his and then place his lips on hers.

She struggled to pull back and hit his chest. After what seemed like forever, he pulled back a fraction. "What is it?” it pissed him that she was anything but compliant.

“Will you mark me as well?” Carly was worried and had to ask. 

He gave her a wicked chuckle, “You wish” and with that, he buried his lips on hers again.

Carly was mortified and ashamed. He was taking her without marking. She would be like a ruined good without an owner.

“What did I do to deserve this cruelty from you?” she was hurt physically and emotionally.

She had always fantasized about how her first mating would be special. This right here was anything but appropriate.

“The right question is what did you not do? You should be glad that I did not hang your head in a stake and get it displayed outside the palace walls.” He stated between kisses again before Carly pushed him away unexpectedly. 

“My father was no traitor.” Her eyes were defiant.

“No more words from you, except you're tired of existing,” He warned her, irritated of her charades.

If not for the fact that Atlas had gone completely silent on him, he would not have considered touching her with a ten-foot pole.

Most of his irritation was directed to himself. His body was attracted to her, and he found himself wishing that she was not the traitor's daughter.

Slamming a door to all his thoughts, he yanked her dress, tearing it in half and grabbed her left breast into his mouth, more for his pleasure than for foreplay's sake.

“She's beautiful, Derek,” Atlas said in complete awe.

The devil…

“So you finally gathered enough decency to show yourself?” Derek retorted in his head. Still trying to focus on the pleasure. 

“Why not? I can't let you have all the fun,” and with that Atlas took partial control. Derek's eyes had two different colour, one side red and the other was midnight black.

Carly looked at his eyes in shock and could not help the next question that slipped out of her mouth. “How on earth did you do that?”

“Be quiet!” he gnarled at her, taking one of his hands and tracing it from her midsection down to her private area. It was then she noticed his claws were out.

“Are you planning to kill me?” Carly asked. Her breath was hitched, and she was curious as to what he had in mind to do to her.

“I would have let you die in the well if I wanted it to be that easy, bitch. I have something worse than death in mind for you,” He gave her an evil smirk and then plunged his index finger into her.

“You can't help being a slut, can you? You are dripping wet for your father’s murderer,” he mocked her.

Carly wished the ground could open and swallow her. Her body could not help reacting when he took her nipples with his mouth and Alexis was attracted to his wolf.

But she could not let him get away with his barb “At least I'm not the one forcing on the traitor's daughter, and you're quite hard like a rock for someone you claim to hate,” she snarled back at him.

“Shut up!” he growled at her and pinned her neck to the bed, his claws buried in her flesh. And with a swift movement, he plunged into her, eliciting a sharp cry from her.

He continued without giving her a chance to adjust to the pain, and tears filled her eyes.

“I despise you,” she cried out in pains, wishing she could wake up and find out that it was just a nightmare, and she was back with her father.

“Like I would care what a mere slave thinks,” he replied her, still deep inside her.

After what seemed like forever to Carly, he grunted his release and came inside her.

She quickly scrambled out of the bed and reached for her torn lingerie. Feeling used and insulted. 

Derek looked at her in disgust. His eyes had turned to black back and he retracted his claws.

He strolled out of the room and banged the door shut behind him.

“Are you happy now, Atlas?” he asked his wolf.

“You bastard! You know very well that this was not what I wanted. I did not even get to see her wolf,” he snarled.

“Well, it's too late for that now,” Derek replied nonchalantly. He was still pissed that a small part of him cared that she was hurt.

Shuffling his guilt and confusing emotions behind him, he went to his chambers and requested that the maids prepare a bath for him.

Sinking into the hot bath, wishing he could wash her scent off him, he winced and whispered, “The things you make me do, Atlas”

Carly could not stop sobbing. She ran into the bathroom with her blood dripping down her thighs. She stared at her reflection in the mirror there and hated what she saw.

She was a shadow of her past self. Her cheeks were hollow and her eyes sunken.

She stepped into the bath tub, took a washcloth, and proceeded to wash her body, wishing to remove every scent he had left on her.

Not only that, but she scrubbed until her white porcelain skin had turned pink and she had bruised herself.

“Carly, is this our new life?” Alexis asked, resignedly.

“I hope not, Alexis. I'm not giving up easily, that asshole won't see it coming when my fury will hit him. He will wish he was never born.” she vowed silently.

“Where is that bitch?!”

Carly turned when she heard the voice she dreaded. She had not heard it in a long time. The door to the room opened.

Zoya appeared in the bathroom and sneered at her “So you finally seduced the Alpha, right?”

She grabbed Carly by the hair and pulled her out of the tub.

“More like your Alpha had his way with me,” Carly snorted with a sec wry smile. 

“You still have the nerve to act cheeky,” Zoya turned to the guards “Take her away, let her join the other servants to scrub the toilets. "

“The alpha mentioned she should remain locked up,” the guard said, fidgeting about being on the wrong side of Zoya, but deciding that she was the lesser devil of the two.

“Well, I have the alpha's permission to put her to work. Now move. "

The guards grabbed her while she was stark naked.

“At least give me time to dress up, even if the alpha hates me, he wouldn't want to see his food paraded around like this.” She pointed at herself, hoping they would take the bait, she knew within her that he gave zero flying fucks about her but could not help blabbing.

The guards glanced at Zoya. “You have 3 minutes,” Zoya conceded grudgingly.

Carly quickly scanned the closet for any decent dress to wear. She found a black gown that reached her mid-thigh, after putting it on, she turned to the guards with both arms stretched. 

“Let's go” she hardened her gaze and raised her head high

 “It's wartime, Alexis. They won't know what hits them.” She told her wolf silently.

With that, she left the room with the guards and Zoya behind them.
