Laughter can be heard throughout the place. The man's hand is still wrapped around my hair and the barrel of the gun is pressed against the side of my head. The ten or so guards crowded around us are having a hard time keeping in their amusement.
"You thought you could get away! how dumb can you be!" one of them laughs, holding their stomach. I narrow my eyes, willing myself not to do something stupid. 'Keep your mouth shut. Do not speak unless spoken to,' my wolf snarls for the first time. She never comes out after the painful first time shifting. Keeping my mouth shut, I try to ignore the chill feeling of the gun pressed against my temple. "You are never going to get away," the man behind me sneers. The men continue to laugh like hyenas as they each throw an insult my way. "What were you running from, sweetheart?" the man whispers. I make no move to answer, and this only amuses the crowd even more. "Probably yourself. You are a worthless Omega after all," a man from the crowd jokes, his lip curling in disgust. Glaring over at the man, I struggle in my captive's hold. "Don't move," the man growls with an aura of power emanating from him. Gulping, I immediately still, knowing they will not be afraid to use the gun on me. Screwing my eyes shut, I pray that this is only a dream. In a few minutes, I'll wake up and this will all just fade away. This is only a nightmare. It can't be reality, can it? "Now. You're going to do everything that we ask you to. Or else you'll find a bullet in that pretty little head of yours. Understand?" he says softly, tracing my cheek with the gun. I harshly bite my lip and nod my head fervently. I would do everything they said. I had to. This was Westwood pack. The most ruthless pack in America. They would strap me to the wall and torture me in a second, but it wouldn't just be silver knives and whips. Their torture chambers were much, much worse. Their favorite pastime was bathing prisoners in silver and I was now a prisoner. Doing whatever they said was a small price to pay in order to maintain my safety. No matter how much I would be tortured or insulted on a daily basis, I still wanted to live. And by disrespecting the Westwood's it would only guarantee my demise. "Good," he smirks, cocking his head to the side, "Now, you're gonna follow me and you're keep your mouth shut. Understand?" Nodding my head again, I hold my breath as he slowly takes away the gun and latches his hand on my wrist. "Oh, and don't you dare think about running. Cause I'll find you and I'll catch you. I'll make sure that this is ten times worse the second time around," he smiles evilly. Widening my eyes as a lump grows in my throat, I lower my head in an attempt to show him my submission. The smirk that graces his face makes bile rise in my throat. Grabbing my chin, he yanks my head up and looks me in the eyes. "That's sweet, but I would save your submission for the Alpha. He is gonna have a lot of fun with you," he chuckles, bringing the gun back up to my face. Holding my breath, I wince slightly as his finger twitches on the trigger. "Now, now sweetheart. No flinching," he smirks. Swallowing hard, I straighten back to my original height and look him straight in the eye. I will not be weak. "I'm not afraid of you," I nearly growl. He raise an eyebrow as a smile slips onto his face. "Now, Honey, you and I both know that that's not true." A defiant look crosses my face and I will myself to calm down. I can feel the stinging pinch in my nails as my claws grow to their full length. "You don't scare me," I say again, gritting my teeth. "The one thing you need to learn right now is that you don't lie to the Westwood. Those who do die a painful death," he spits out, sinking his claws into my arm. My lip is once again clamped between my teeth, stopping myself from crying out. "Now, let's go," he growls, yanking me by the arm. The sounds of countless growls echo around the forest as the man releases my arm and lowers himself into a fighting stance. My old captives charge up to the border line, led by a wolf I have never seen before. Their growls are immediately stilled as they take in the guards. The unfamiliar wolf shifts into human form and crosses his arms over his chest. The aura of power that he holds lets me know that it is an Alpha standing in front of us. "I want my Omega back," he sneers. "She is not yours to take," the man in front of me snaps. "I paid money for her!" the Alpha screams. The man in front of me stands to his full height and cocks his head to the side. "Well isn't that just unfortunate. She wandered onto our land, she's our property now," he scoffs. "She is mine! I paid for her!" the Alpha screams again. "Well, she is a prisoner of the Westwood pack. Taking her starts a war. Are you prepared for that, pup?" the man taunts. A powerful growl rips through the forest, making my legs shake and my heart drop to the bottom of my stomach. "This is not over. She is my property!" the Alpha growls, before shifting into his wolf and sprinting away. My old captives say nothing and turn to follow after the Alpha. The man turns back to me and latches onto my arm once again. He drags me after him harshly, making me stumble over my feet. My heart rate accelerates and panic begins to set in. I was a prisoner of the Westwood pack. I had defied the Westwood pack security. I was going to die. The things that my old captives had done to me bared no comparison to the things that the ruthless Westwood Alpha would do. He was deadly, dangerous. If I was lucky he would snap my neck instantly, but of course I was never one for luck. With every step, the man's nails sunk deeper and deeper into my arm. The tears that well up in my eyes I blink away, unwilling to let them see my pain. We approach a giant cement building. The entrance is covered in shrubs and if you didn't know the land, the door would never have been seen. Yanking me into the building after quickly inputting the password, he shuts the door behind us. An eerie chill runs up my spine as I take in the prison. The walls are lined with unconscious prisoners chained to the walls. The bars are clearly made of silver and the smell of vomit and blood causes me to gag. We walk halfway down the hall before he pulls out a set of keys and unlocks the nearest door, before shoving me inside. I hit the ground with a grunt and turn to glare at the guard who threw me inside. A smile graces his face. "The Alpha will see you soon," he says, turning on his heel and leaves the prison. Huffing, I scoot back until my back hits the wall and bring my knees to my chest. Looking around the cell, I take in the mold growing in the corner and the droopy ceiling. Leaning my head back on the brick wall, all the emotions that I had tried to keep locked away come spilling out."The Alpha will see you now," a monotonous voice booms throughout the prison.I stood up from my position, where I was curled up on the floor. The tears had long since dried up on my cheeks and I have accepted that I would die. In fact, I welcomed it. I never wanted to live like this. I always hoped my life would get better after I escaped. There were many times throughout my life that I have wished to die. Every time, my wolf would wash away the thought and give me hope. I was grateful for that, but that doesn't matter anymore. Red moon pack seems like an ant compared to Westwood. Red moon pack was violent, Westwood is deadly. There wasn't any way I was going to escape this. I would be tortured. I would be raped. I would be bathed in silver and most importantly, I would be murdered. My wolf couldn't protect me against these people. She wasn't strong enough. I wasn't strong enough and I'm okay with that."Get up!" the voice barks.I spring to my feet, ignoring the dull ache in my musc
Lisa's POV:Smirking, the Alpha rises to his full height."Take her to the medical wing." he orders.The guard immediately picks me up, but accidentally presses my foot too hard into his side. I let out a whimper of agony. The Alpha quickly latches his hand around the guards arm and growls lowly at him."Don't intentionally harm your Luna under any situation. Understand, Simon?" he shouts while pushing the guard, Simon, away from him.Gulping, Simon quickly nods his head before turning and fleeing from the room with me in his arms."I'm sorry, Luna." he mumbles, bowing his head.I look up at him with wide eyes, anger coursing through my body."You shot me in my finger!" I yelp."Yes, I did, but it was an order. I could not defy my Alpha. I said that I was sorry." he tries to reason."You shot me in the leg, I would have lost my leg if I didn't move it at the last minute." I say again, "And all that you can think to say is that you're sorry?""Yes, Luna, it was an order." he repeats, b
Lisa's POV:He was supposed to be my everything. I was supposed to be his world. He was supposed to care for me, about me, and I was supposed to calm him down when he was angry. That was the basic need for a mate. They were your soul mate, your other half. They were there for those moments where nothing ever seemed to go right. They were your warm light in the cold darkness.I was supposed to have a loving mate. Someone who would do anything for me. Someone that loved me. But all of that got ruined as soon as Alex was chosen to be my mate. I was never going to receive that treatment.Werewolves shift at age thirteen. It is a very painful experience for all of us. In the following shifts after that, it hurts slightly less, until you feel nothing at all, at least that's what I have been told. It was a few weeks after my parents died when I first shifted. I remember the excruciating pain that washed over me as every bone in my body cracked in two. I can still feel the uncomfortable sting
Lisa's POV:'How am I supposed to get out from here?''Crawl.' my wolf whispers.'Well thank you captain obvious, but I can't without hurting my leg as I saw the gap between the window.''Yes you can. Don't be stupid.' she sasses.Rolling my eyes, I slide myself slightly closer to the door. Gritting my teeth, I grab onto the door jam, trying to pull myself up. Leaning back against the wall, I try to calm my breathing. The sound of footsteps nearly overwhelms me, but I remain sitting against the wall."Luna?" a voice calls, walking up in front of me. Finally someone opens the door.Opening my eyes, I stare up at the man in annoyance."Don't call me that." I growl."Woah," he says, backing away from me with his hands up, "Sorry. I didn't know.""I'm not your Luna." I snap."You aren't Alexander's mate?" he questions."No." I spit, trying to get up again.A smile comes onto his face, as he steps forward and holds out a hand."Good. Then, I'm Sebastian." he says."Um. Nice to meet you, bu
Lisa's POV:Macaroni and Cheese. I decided to make him macaroni and cheese. He had nothing in the fridge except for mayonnaise and a few pieces of moldy bologna. The cupboards were filled with nothing, but junk food, but I was able to find a singular box of mac n' cheese. Huffing, I turn down the hall and slowly make the short journey to his office. I knock on the door and lean against the door frame."Come in." I hear his deep voice boom.Opening the door, I wobble through the door and collapse in the chair in front of his desk. Alex is sitting with his wire framed glasses still on his face, doing some paperwork, but he immediately looks up as I collapse in front of him."I thought I had asked for some food." he says, raising his eyebrow."You did, but you don't have any food in the kitchen.""I don't have any food." he repeats slowly.Shaking my head no, I push myself back into a standing position and walk back over to the door, leaning against it."You only have one box of macaroni
Lisa's POV:The next morning, I awake with a grunt, the sunlight streaming in through the windows, blinding me. There is a heavy weight on my lower stomach, which I choose to ignore and bring my hands up over my head, stretching. Looking down, I notice the strong muscular arm wrapped around my torso and widen my eyes, as the sparks dance through my body. Shaking my head, I sit up in bed and try to get up, but with every move his arm only tightens.I look up at Alex's face and lay back down onto the bed. I take in his dark brown hair that is now flopped over into his eyes and his lower lip softly jutting out, almost in a pout. In all honesty, he looks adorable like this, relaxed, vulnerable. I would like nothing more than to lean forward and take his bottom lip between my teeth. I decide to stay in bed, until he wakes up. This would give me time to admire my mate for once when he isn't scowling.His normally spiked up dark brown hair is now hanging in soft waves over his forehead and h
Lisa's POV:Alex was oblivious to the stares, but I wasn't. The lustful expressions on each female face made me one step closer to snapping somebodies neck, and I didn't know why. I shouldn't feel like this. The anger that I feel as I watch them throw their dyed hair over their shoulders and give him seducing smiles overwhelms me. Why do I care so much about this? He has done a lot to me, more than a lot and I am getting jealous? I shouldn't care.'Stop caring.' I growl at myself.'You can never stop caring. No matter how much you want to.' my wolf warns, quietly.'Why are you talking to me so much lately? You normally never talk.' I snap.'You tried to reject our mate. It was time for me to say something and beg you to give him a second chance.' she reasoned.'He doesn't even deserve a second chance. What has he done for me that deserves a second chance?' I huff, narrowing my eyes at a particularly flirty female.'He is our mate, Lisa. He doesn't have to do anything to earn a second
Lisa's POV:If I thought the staring at the pack was bad, it was nothing compared to this. It seemed like every female in the entire town was staring at Alex. It was, in all honesty, aggravating. I hated having to watch my mate show all these beautiful girls attention, when he wouldn't even look at me in that way. Frowning I trudge along behind him silently, looking at all the beautiful shops we pass by."Go." Alex says quietly beside me.Turning to look at him with a confused expression, I raise an eyebrow."Go. Shop. Knock yourself out. I know you want to." he answers."B-but I-I don't have a-any money." I stutter out, shrugging my shoulders."And I do." he snaps."Alex," I sigh, "I'm not spending your money.""Then think of it as your money. I need to get you a credit card soon anyway." he shrugs."I'm not taking your money from you!" I yelp, stepping back slightly, "I'm not a thief!""Lisa," Alex growls lowly, "If I tell you to do something. You do it. Without any questions asked.
*Lisa's Point of View - 5 years later*"Push!" the doctor squeals, "Come on, Luna! One more push!"With one final grunt, a piercing cry springs around the room."He's here!" the doctor cheers, as I collapse back onto my back.Alex grasps my hand and sends me a huge grin. After cutting the umbilical cord, the doctor walks up to us and gently places the baby on my chest."It's a boy," she grins with a gleam in her eye.I look up at Alex, tears filling my eyes."We did it," he whispers, placing a small kiss onto my lips.I let out a small sigh of content, holding my boys closer."I love you," I murmur, watching as my baby opens his eyes and looks up at both me and Alex.Deep green eyes shine back at us, causing us to smile deeply. The little boys lips turn up at the corners, giving us a toothless grin. It melts my heart, knowing that he knows exactly who we are."I love you too, babe." Alex whispers back, scooting into the bed beside me and wrapping an arm around my waist.My smile widen
Lisa's POV:My mouth drops open in disbelief."Y-you're alive?" I stutter, tears already filling my eyes."Of course, we're alive." my father snaps, "Do you really think that we'd kill ourselves?""It looked like it," I gasp, "You drove off a fucking bridge."They both shrug, looking bored, "We had to make it look believable."Alex is silent through all of this. I had forgotten that he knew nothing of this. His eyes meet mine with a questioning glare.I sent him a look and he glances back down to the ground. I didn't want to speak of this to him to anyone. I was completely embarrassed. My own parents didn't love me enough to keep me."Why?" I mumble, looking over at them, "I want to hear from you, both of you. Why did you do this?""We were tired, Lisa." my father answers, "We didn't want to be Omega's anymore and you stood in the way of that. You would have never gone along with this deal willingly, so we took drastic measures.""That is the complete opposite of what you did!" I scre
Lisa's POV:"Abror?" Gina gasps, squealing slightly as she falls to the ground."Who the hell is Abror?" Alex spits, "Adam, come on man, you better not be playing any tricks.""I'm not your brother." Adam mocks, "And as I repeat, I haven't been your brother in quite a long time.""H-how is that possible?" I stutter, inching slowly towards Gina and Alex.Abror's eyes find mine and he cocks his head to the side, "Ahh, my sweet, sweet Lisa. Let me tell you the story.""She's not your anything!" Alex screeches, pulling on his chains once again.He growls lowly, but immediately stills. It is almost as if he had forgotten that I felt his pain, as he stops pulling against the chains and looks at me.Adam does nothing, but snicker and continues, "Where shall I begin? Ahh, well his birth is as good as ever I suppose. Your parents were my enemy. My father, who had the throne before me, pinpointed your parents as an ultimate threat. I'm sure you heard about the battle of the Kings, but I'll expl
Lisa's POV:Panic strikes my core as I watch Alex's head lull to the side. I knew he wasn't dead, but it wouldn't be long before he was."Why are you doing this!" I screech, pulling against the invisible restraints."I told you before, Lisa." The demon bellows, "I have my orders and I must abide by them. I was ordered to kill the threat and here I am, killing the threat."She snickers as she turns towards Alex. A scream leaves my lips as she tightens the chains around him and a cry of pain leaves his lips unconsciously. It feels that my heart is torn in two. If your mate is harmed it feels as if someone has driven a stake through your body."The King is almost here, Lisa." The demon grins, spinning on her heel."I don't care about the King!" I scream, "I care about Alex.""Mm," she hums, "Then we'll just have to destroy him then."My eyes begin to sting and I push myself to use my powers."No, no, no." Katherine grins, wagging her finger.The stinging pain in my chest is apparent now
Lisa's POV:Alex and I walk up the stairs, hand in hand. Once we enter the room, I immediately collapse onto the bed as he begins to prepare for bed.His eyes widen and he speeds to my side, "What? What's happening?"I shake my head and continue, "It's quiet, Alex. Too quiet."His shoulders drop and he shakes his head, "I thought something was seriously wrong!""Where's Adam?" I question, my heart rate spiking."In his room." Alex replies in a duh tone, "I don't know.""I don't think that he's in his room." I mutter, "I can normally sense him. I don't feel anyone in that room. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen Adam in quite a few days."Alex rolls his eyes and snaps, "That doesn't mean anything. Maybe he went back to his pack.""No Alex, you don't understand." I huff, "That man has been glued to my arm for the past month and now all of a sudden he's gone? Especially when he claims that he wants to protect me?""It doesn't mean anything," he spits, turning away from me, "What?
Lisa's POV:"What?" Alex snaps, bringing me into his arms, "What do you mean he escaped?""He smoked out." I mutter, shrugging my shoulders, "I came to get Seb some blankets and I noticed the cellar door open. I went down and found Scott in Simon's cell. Then Simon slit Scott's throat, stepped out of the cell, and smoked out.""Are you okay?" Alex mumbles immediately, taking my face into his hands.I nod my head with a sigh."Do you think you can go back down there?" Alex mentions, giving me a concerned look.Without acknowledging his question, I grasp his hand, leading him down the concrete steps. I wasn't as effected by this as I should have been. The countless years of supernatural mishaps with my parents must be swamping my nerves.As we turn the corner, I glance down to where Simon fell and I froze. Alex runs into my back, but he quickly wraps an arm around my waist before I could topple over."What's wrong?" he asks, concern gracing his features as I look back at him.With a gul
*Lisa's Point of View*I sigh as I open the front door. This month has been hell. With Sebastian in the hospital, I didn't have anyone to talk to and spent my days seemingly alone. I was never physically alone, however, only mentally.After the night with Scott, Adam insisted on staying with us. There was something odd about Adam. It was almost as if I had met him before. He watched me like a hawk, maybe even more then Alex did.Every time I turned around, he was there. Whenever someone would question him about his tactics, he would simply insist that he watched me only because I was his sister-in-law. I could tell this was not true.There was something different about Adam, whatever it was, it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up whenever he was near me. I avoided him, to say the least, but Alex criticized me for it. He took honor in his brother watching me, almost as if he had ordered him to do it. To make this situation even stranger, every night at 8 pm, Adam disappeared
*Sebastian's Point of View*Cold. All I felt was cold. I had woken up a while ago to find the nurses hovering over me, but no family in sight. Apparently, the machines had been going crazy and it alerted nearly everyone in the hospital. I could still see Katherine. She was weeping in the corner.I yearned to touch her, to hold her. I regret not building a stronger relationship with her. For not fighting for her. She wouldn't be dead if it wasn't for me. She'd be alive with Gina at home, warming her throne.People were constantly passing through. The pain was excruciating. Soul after soul would appear and grasp my hand, begging to be transferred to the after life. I was the anchor. I had to deal with this.It was my job to place the souls on the correct path that they deserved. The pain was numbing now, I was getting used to it. I had no idea what trapped me in my mind for so long. It was terrifying.Scratching my neck, I force myself into a sitting position. The nurses had left ages a
Lisa's POV:Anxiousness is a strange feeling. When your stomach contracts into knots and your breathing becomes shaky. When you can't get a word out, your body stunned into silence by the situation. That was how I felt.He was coming, that's all I knew. I didn't have the heart to tell Alex, I knew that he would go all protective gorilla on me if he knew.'But he could protect you from him.' my wolf whispers."That doesn't mean anything." I snap, "He can't find out. He can't know my history."'Like it would be so bad? Our mate deserves to know.' she argues."He'll fly off the handle. You know what he'll do." I whisper.'You know that he'll find out eventually right?' she questions."Of course I know this." I growl, "He just doesn't need to know about this right now."'You mean about the fact that you are practically his?' she says."I'm not his." I spit.'Lisa, he should know about this.' she pleads, 'Please tell him.'"No." I spat.'Lisa, the Alpha bought you, you realize that, right?
