Leila's POV.
The car stopped, Alpha Darren walked out, I followed standing far behind him, he turned to me, I startled clutching my clothes tightly.
“Adan, pack the car.” He ordered the driver, he clutched my hands, dragging me with him.
I struggled against his grip, but it was useless, he pulled me by my wrist and dragged me to the gate I was staring at when I stepped down.
He opened the gate, and a gasp slipped from my lips.
His pack surroundings were big, much more than the pack I left.
The houses here were huge, they looked expensive, he dragged me down some steps leading up to a large house, I could see others run in and out.
“Ada! Come here, we need to talk!” His alpha voice boomed through the house, the front door slammed shut, I looked up confused.
He walked towards a room at the end of the hallway and unlocked it, pushing me inside.
He walked in before locking the door behind him.
“You'll regret being related to someone with that name.” He smirked.
He closed the blinds, blocking out all sunlight before turning back to face me.
The rage I saw in his eyes earlier came back, anger radiating off him. I shrunk back from him, cowering slightly under his gaze.
A whimper escaped my throat, causing me to flinch trying to curl into myself.
He took a step towards me, then another until we were inches apart.
He raised a hand threateningly, I shivered as tears fell from my eyes.
I didn't deserve to be treated like this, I didn't give myself a weak wolf, or mates who hated me.
I was nothing special. Nothing good.
He grabbed a hold of my chin, raising my head, so he could look me directly in the eye. His cold expression made me feel small.
“Why are you doing this? What have I done to you? Why do you just reject me?" The questions slipped out of my mouth quickly.
I knew he had to be punishing me for whatever reason, but why? I wanted answers.
His grip on my chin tightened, and his eyes grew darker.
I could practically see the fury in them now; if looks could kill, the whole floor would've been burned away by now.
My heart beat faster as fear began to overtake me again.
He released my face roughly, taking a step backwards, I flinched at the sound of the chair legs scraping on the floor.
“You don't get to ask questions.” His voice was barely above a whisper.
He suddenly dragged me out of the room, I stumbled forward trying to maintain balance while keeping up with his pace, I tripped over a stray foot and hit my arm against the wall. I cried out in pain.
He took me to a small room, throwing me to the floor next to the wall. He locked the door, trapping me in darkness.
I couldn't even hear anything, no footsteps, nor could I see anyone around me or in this room. I was alone, and scared. I clenched my teeth as I lay down on the cold floor, my mind racing with thoughts.
Alpha Darren was mad, I could see that, but I didn't know why. My wolf howled in distress at what happened, I closed my eyes, forcing my wolf to stop screaming. She calmed down, allowing me to think once more.
My eyelids become heavy. I felt my body begin to relax, sleep overtook me before I knew it, my consciousness drifted off leaving my mind blank.
********
I woke up immediately. I heard the door open, light poured into the room making me jump back, my muscles tensed, and I tried to sit up.
My arms were held tight behind my back, it hurt, so I let myself fall flat on my stomach.
I managed to sit straight again, I watched Alpha Darren walk to me, with the coldest gaze I've ever seen, my heart began to race in panic as he lifted my chin up with his index finger.
A chill ran through me as his eyes held mine, a hatred so raw filled his eyes, he looked ready to tear me apart.
He yanked my arms from behind my back, I screamed in agony as my arms ached.
He kept staring at me with such coldness, full of rage and loathing.
“You're my slave, my property, and I brought you to make you pay for everything your father did.” His voice held an edge that pierced me.
What did he mean by 'everything? What did my father do to him?
I stared at his devilish handsome face, I wished he wasn't so attractive, it only made me more afraid that I was attracted to him.
“Please.” I pleaded softly.
A sinister laugh bubbled up from within his chest.
He grabbed my hair painfully, my head snapping back. He brought my face close to his ear, I cringed from his touch.
“No. You are mine, now and forever. And I am going to control everything about you, until your dying breath.” His words sent chills down my spine.
He pushed me onto my knees, his hand gripping my hair harshly. I winced again, trying not to cry out.
I could tell he was enjoying watching me struggle against him, he released my hair, and stood towering over me.
“Now kneel.” He ordered harshly.
My vision blurred from crying too much, so I lowered my head.
I waited for him to strike me but nothing happened, instead he began speaking.
“You're going to be my pet, and you will obey every single command I give you, understand?” He demanded, I nodded.
My eyes remained glued to the ground, I felt so weak and tired, all I wanted to do was fall asleep and never wake up again. But I needed to listen to my master, so I stayed silent.
He grabbed the sides of my face, forcing my eyes to meet his, “I asked you a question.” I jumped at his harsh tone, and stuttered.
“Yes.yes sir.” I whispered, my voice shaking.
He dropped me to the floor, I landed face first with a painful thud, I bit my lip to keep from sobbing out loud, I was so tired, I wanted to go to sleep and never wake up.
Leila's POV.I woke up immediately and I heard the door open. I scrambled to the end of the cell room.Alpha Darren stalked in, staring at me with a menacing grin.“Well, look who's here.” he said, as if that was all I needed to know.I staggered into a standing position, feeling weak, he grabbed me by the hair as he pulled me out from my cell and shoved me outside.I tried to walk forward, but my legs were trembling too much to do so. He yanked on my hair once more, making me yelp as pain shot up my back, his fingers digging into my scalp.My vision blurred, and I felt something warm run down my face. Blood.He dragged me down the hall and into another cell. I stumbled into him and almost fell to the floor.“Please stop this.” I pleaded, that only earned a laugh from him.“This is little compared to what your dad has ever done.”“What did he do?” I asked shakily, I swallowed nervously, wondering where I got the courage from.“Many things, many things I'll do to his daughter, what I'm
Darren's POV.I was in a cell, with figures around me, making fun of me as they tortured me, my family was dead, and as their new alpha I needed to head the pack, but I couldn't do that while being stuck in here.I wished I knew who attacked my pack, who plotted it, who made my parents die, who killed my pack members, I wished I knew, but I didn't know, they captured for months, almost going to half a year.I was tortured everyday, in different forms and different ways of torture, there were times when I wanted to die, there were days when I didn't care.The pain was never constant, but I could feel it growing as time passed by.All I remember is waking up in an empty room after my pack got attacked, my wrists were tied behind me with rope and I fell down on a dirty wooden floor.They took turns at hurting me, whoever they were, I couldn't see them as they often tied my eyes, and when they didn't, they wore masks.It took a few weeks until my wounds healed enough for me to be able to
Leila's POV.My attempt at escaping failed, he didn't hit me which was surprising, I thought he would kill me after catching me when I tried escaping, but he didn't, he just dragged me with him to the healer.“Her wounds are a lot, they are very deep.” The healer sighed, looking at me.“Just heal her for me, Gemma, thanks a lot.” He sighed.“I will, she also has a weak wolf too, it'll be hard since her wolf can't heal on its own because of the lack of strength.”“But I'll make sure she's healed.” The healer added shortly as he walked off, leaving me with her.I felt like I was going to faint from exhaustion and the pain my body was feeling. She looked at me with soft eyes and said that everything will be alright. As the healer finished healing me, I fell asleep in her arms.********After some time passed, the healer came and woke me up.“You can go now, the alpha is waiting.” She smiled slightly.“You need some rest.” She added.“The sleep was good, and you need more sleep.” She add
Darren's POV.I could smell her immediately she got close to the room, before she opened the door, I knew she was the one close.Her scent filled my nose like a drug, a mixture of pine and earth, and rain, and honey with hints of jasmine and vanilla. My eyes closed as if by choice while she walked in, she wasn’t looking at me, not even for one second. Her gaze went straight ahead to the figure next to me.I could see the hurt on her face when she watched us fuck each other, her face contorted into pure rage.She opened the door and ran away. I couldn't help it. I picked my towel, wore it and ran after her.“You can't run from me forever.” It sounded desperate, but I wasn't concerned about that right now.I had to find her, make her listen. I honestly didn't know what I wanted her to listen to, but I needed her listening ears.I followed her scent until we were out of the garden, and on a small path running through the park. My feet crunched loudly in the gravel and mud.I used her sce
Leila's POV.I rushed back to the slave quarters in tears, feeling so ashamed I could hardly stand it.My cheeks were wet with tears that had come from my eyes, and my heart pounded in my chest as the reality of the situation hit me. He didn't care about me at all, he only cared about hurting me, the hope I had when he came after me squashed away immediately he revealed his real intentions.I deluded myself into believing he would somehow stop hating me.I sighed in frustration as I laid down, thinking of everything that happened earlier today, how he said those things. I shut my eyes, waiting for sleep to come.But even with my closed eyes and the sound of soft snores and the occasional thump of a body shifting in its bed across the room, it was hard to get to sleep. It felt like my mind kept replaying those words over and over again, unable to make sense of what happened.My eyes eventually became heavy, and soon I drifted off into deep slumber.*******I woke up with a start, fe
Leila's POV.The head slave glared at me, my heart thumped, I didn't know what she wanted, but I hoped I didn't do anything wrong."The alpha met me." She started, I clutched my clothes tightly, trying to stop my shaking hands. "He said you'll be his personal slave and it looks like you don't understand the meaning of that word." She stalked closer to me.Her face was red from anger and her dark eyes glittered with malice. I flinched but kept silent. "You are not worthy of being a wolf. You've been brought here by mistake or some foul means of trickery on Alpha's part, but you are making him complain to me, I've worked with slaves under me without complaints.""I'll show you the consequence of disobedience." She added.She reached out to grab one of my wrists, pulling me towards her so fast I tripped over myself as I stumbled backwards in shock."What do you mean?" I blurted before she could grab me again. My heart beat harder in fear."He reported that you didn't clean his room yes
Leila's POV.He cradles my face softly, making my eyes widen, I can't believe he is touching me.For someone who hated me so much, who never failed to show how he hated me, he was touching my face now.His gaze landed on my lips, and I saw something flash in his eyes, like he wanted them, wanted it badly. Then his hand came to rest at the nape of my neck, he pulled me closer.When his mouth came to mine, I closed my eyes. He's kissing me as if there is no tomorrow.My heart beats in rhythm with his as the kiss deepens and I wrap my arms around him tightly, afraid that if I don’t hold him, he might disappear right before my eyes.This was a rare moment for me, a moment where he didn't hate me, he didn't treat me with disgust.I am drowning in his scent and I'm lost in the sensation of him holding me close.The kiss gets deeper and harder until he suddenly breaks away from me, his breathing rapid and uneven.We stare into each other's eyes for what seems like an eternity.Suddenly his e
Darren's POV.***Several hours ago**I didn't know why I came here, but I really needed to see her, the sudden urge I got to see her was surprising.I've never felt so affected by anyone before, but I felt this sudden urge to always see her.I sighed in frustration, ruffling my hair in annoyance as I made my way towards the door, the sound of the loud music playing inside the club resonating around me, making me feel more miserable with every passing second I'm walking into that bar.I came here to dance everything away, so my thoughts of her will go away.I never understood how the mate pull worked and how having a mate felt like, but I understood everything now.Thinking about her when I'm supposed to think of ways to make her suffer was so annoying.The music in the club felt electric, but I still couldn't shake off my feeling of discomfort and my thoughts were filled with a particular face I didn't want to think about. I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible, so I too
