Chapter-3

Author Pov

As soon as Alice entered the prison her face scrunched up in disgust. The floor was filled with dry blood and extreme dust, the room had a disgusting smell all over it. She felt an extreme need to cover her nose but instead of going back, she inhaled sharply looking towards the cemented setting where she knew the beast was kept, she knew her end was near after all for this very purpose her cruel Alpha had sent her here.

She never thought that the only person who actually considered her worthy of his friendship, the only man who befriended her and made her believe that she wasn't a waste of their pack as others bullied her, the same very man will hurt her this much. She never even in her wildest dreams thought he would the reason of her utmost pain and hate. Yes, Alice had finally started to hate him, even after all the pain he granted her she never found a heart to despise him till last night.

She gulped when her gaze halted on the cemented aisle inspecting the place with fearful eyes. The only light in the prison was the burning torch in the corner, there was a worn out mattress, a dirty toilet and the fact that it was right beside the aisle disgusted her. She had no idea how this rogue had been staying here without dying. She walked near the cemented aisle taking in a sharp breath through her lips, she expected him to appear in front of her and kill her when she neared him but nothing she didn’t even hear the slightest noise.

The tray in her hands crackled a bit announcing her fear, she tried hard to make no noise but was dead defeated in her tries. She meekly approached the cemented stage and placed the tray on it, her knees trembled a bit waiting for the snap but nothing. She narrowed her eyes and she indeed found a massive rugged figure sitting in the dark. She knew she should fled right away but something in her wanted to inspect him.

His long dirty hair must be the result of his terrible stay here, he was half naked having a ripped pants over his lower body, and the rips were the result of the torture inflicted on him each night. She had no idea why his body still looked so damn strong and powerful when he should have lost most of his weight because of the torture he had to suffer.

Gulping down she heard his loud heavy breathing indicating that he was asleep so taking a chance she stopped whatever inside her wanted to stay beside his side and finally decided to leave especially if she didn't she might not get a chance again. Just when she turned around to leave, her body stiffened feeling a cold air engulfing her whole body, the power was so hard that she felt her feet freezing on her spot. Her breath hitched feeling uneven breathing against the back of her neck. 

She heard a low grunt of some animal and she already knew who it was, his animalistic harsh breathing hitting her bare neck erupted goosebumps all over her body, she closed shut her eyes when she felt him nearing her even more. She knew running was out of the question, he will catch her in no time.

This is it! She thought sadly. She knew it was her end, exhaling a sharp breath she waited for him to snap and kill her in a heart beat, she silently waited for him to make a move but him doing nothing was increasing her anxiety even more with each passing second. Gulping down she steadily turned around with her trembling feet.

The breath that was attacking her neck before now met with her lips, she fisted her hands and squeezed her eyes when he leaned his closer to hers, she could feel the distance decreasing and her time nearing her destiny. She waited and waited for him to do something but again nothing, she had no idea what kind of game he was playing but she had to admit it was Killing her willpower.

Finally giving up on waiting she slowly undone her lashes and let her purple eyes meet his amber ones making her step back the next second in fear. His eyes. They looked like flames, he looked so scary. His long hair was falling over his face, his beard which had grown longer gave him a good rugged look. He indeed looked like the untamed beast who was waiting for his prey but why wasn't he doing anything? This question was messing her up.

He slightly tilted his head to the side staring blankly into her eyes making her tighten her fists blocking the blood from flowing in her veins, the fear was obvious but instead of making him happy, he rather looked confused. No female was sent to serve him before. This was something new but he still couldn’t stop himself from gazing into her beautiful eyes.

It kind of offended yet angered him as well, the Alpha was indeed the piece of shit! Now he had started sending weak woman to be killed by him. The fact that Alpha found himself in the need to use these weak omegas instead of facing the beast himself was amusing to the beast. He couldn't wait to strangle the cockiness out of that fucking coward bastard!

His attention once again diverted to the beauty in front of him and what caught hia entire like was her eyes. Her eyes were so unique. Rare and attractive. He wasn’t expecting to see this enchanting view. She was ethereal, but something clicked in him and he realised something, these eyes were too rare and only one race had them. Healers.

 He noticed a familiar emotion in her eyes. Fear and weirdly the beast in him didn’t like it. His wolf whimpered seeing the woman in front of him fearing him. But why? He had no idea, he loved the fear he had indulge in others for him then she shouldn't be any exception then why? What was the reason his wolf was whining and scratching himself at the fact that this omega also feared him.

He knew she was an independent omega he can smell it from the start but there was a different kind of scent alluring him. It was her power but he wasn’t able to recognize that scent. Damn that scent! His wolf was going crazy after inhaling her scent from the time she entered this room. The omegas that used to come into his prison all made him gag at how disgusting they smelled. But her scent. It was the most erotic yet appealing scent he ever inhaled but why?

His fiery orbs deepen meeting her purple ones. Her eyes were so damn gorgeous, te color of her eyes looked so different. He had never seen any of the wolves having this kind of eyes, she was obviously in fear and afraid of him but why wasn't she making any attempt to run away? He was used to catching and killing the omegas but she was a different case. She didn't run away even though she was dead afraid.

He let his dark gaze scan her whole face. Her plump pink lips looked extremely dry obviously because of fear. Her cheeks looked sunken up, er dainty nose and lovely eyelashes. Everything about her was so tempting, seemed like Alpha had send her here to tempt him did he? And the beast wasn't a bit ashamed to say he actually was damn tempted by her.

Alice gulped waiting for him to end her but he didn’t. He stayed still on the same spot examining her. His dark eyes were adding to her fear with each passing second and she was afraid of the look he started giving her after a few minutes. He looked like he was in daze and like lust. She waited and waited for him to attack her but nothing, she concluded that wasn't a lust of that kind but a lust to kill her. After all she had nothing in him to allure him.

 

His eyes alone could scare anyone. He had dirt on his face, he was looking so dirty and injured. It had been three months he hadn’t shaved, cut his hair, or even eaten a proper meal then how can she expect him to have proper health care? Suddenly her inner healer jolted in worry forgetting who was in front of her when she noticed his injured frame.

She gasped out when her eyes fell on his extremely bruised arms. Even his wrists were bleeding now, she looked at his bicep taking a step closer to him catching him by surprise. The man stared at her without uttering a single word. Had she lost her mind? Didn’t she know who was he and what he could do to her. She looked at him right in his gleaming eyes.

“Y-You’re injured.” She whispered making him curl up the side of his lips. Damn even her voice tempted him. He stared at her in amusement, was she really worried for him? Him! The man whose second name was a ruthless assassin, he could snap at anytime and squeeze the life out of her, and surprisingly even after being scared she still wanted to help him.

What a naive beauty!

Alice examined his injuries. They looked extreme, he needed quick healing otherwise it can become the cause of his death. She hesitantly looked at him, “I-I can h-help you.” She mumbled gulping down which made the man narrowed his eyes at her throat. Her neck looked so damn bitable, suckable and kissable, he imagined how it would look wrapping his hand over her dainty neck having her under his mercy.

While Alice was in another turmoil, he was going to kill her anyway but maybe after she healed his injuries, he might be able to escape and kill alpha Raymond it will be a sight to see. She shook her thoughts off. What was she thinking? Wanted her alpha to be dead! Get a grip, Alice!

Scolding herself she looked at him wanting him to open his mouth and say something. But he didn’t. Without uttering any word he held his arm up making the chain over his wrist and bicep cackle indicating his agreement towards her offer, but his sudden action earned a horrified gasp from her.

She jumped in her spot widening her eyes. “Don’t move! You will injure yourself more.” She scolded him unknowingly grabbing his forearm.

His chest grumbled making a low growl at her touch. Fuck! Her touch! That damn touch seemed so much better than that fire burning his body. He never felt this tempted by anyone, he was never sexually attracted to any she wolf before until this little girl. Seemed like his inner wolf had finally found the cause of his attraction.

She shot him a glance before placing her both hands over his injured wrist she wasn’t able to make a proper circle using her one hand which made him internally chuckle. She slowly closed her eyes and started mumbling some spells.

The beast did nothing except watch her the whole time especially her neck that looked too good to be empty. He was surprised that no wolf had claimed this beauty and marked her till now, he wanted nothing more than to snuggle in her crook wanting more of her scent. He felt something different crawling on his chest.

Soon he felt her velvety hand roaming all over his arm and biceps making him bit his lower lip. How could someone looking so fragile, so breakable, so tiny could make him feel out of control? This never happened to him before, was she a witch? He had no idea but he indeed seemed under some spell because of how she had tempted him beyond the measure.

Soon his eyes drift to his arm and found no bruise remaining on it. She healed it! Then the realization hit him, his guess was right,

She has healing power. The tempting woman was a healer.

He looked up at her face with hunger in his eyes. That power! That fucking power he always wanted to have, he so wanted to be a complete wolf having every kind of power in his body but he was never able to find any wolf ranking lower than Alpha having healing power. This was the first time he has witnessed an omega having this rare power.

Alice healed his both arms and started feeling light-headed. She knew the bruises she healed weren’t much stronger that’s why she didn’t black out till now. But still, her strength was giving up. She wasn't able to witness the hungry look in the beast eyes who wanted both her and the power she owned but he wasn't able to make a proper decision.

She gulped opening her eyes and meeting with his dark ones. He wasn’t even blinking while staring at her and that kind of crept her. She looked at his face and found a sharp scratch on his cheekbone, She knew if she used even a bit of a healing power more she might not be able to stand on her feet. But thinking that she was going to die either way then why not just die while being unconscious.

Beast stared at her watching her hand reaching his cheekbone. Her eyes were stuck on the bruise while his eyes were stuck on her. She slowly closed her eyes and mumbled only one spell healing his scratch and that was it for her.

Her knees gave up and just when she was about to fall to the ground he held her waist pulling her body in his arms. He growled lowly making his chest vibrate at his raspy grunt. Her tiny figure was completely attached to his buff one. What more could he ask for? He stood up from the stage picking her up. Engulfing her body completely in his arms before gently laying her on his dirty mattress. Her eyes were closed and he knew the healing power had made her weak and this showed.

She didn't have a mate.

The thought alone made him happy. But why? He stared at his arms and wrists finding them completely healed, he had guessed her being mateless when her sawn like neck adorned no mark but now he was completely sure she had no mate and this was now started disturbing him that why he was so attracted to this stranger. He chuckled remembering her having the only power he wanted, for this damn power he had suffered in this hell hole for last three months but when the time to get the power came he had no idea what to do.

The girl laying in front of him had the healing power he always wanted. He could kill her and suck the power out, he could become invincible. But this disturbing feeling inside him was beyond his control, his wolf was restless and was pushing the thought of hurting this little girl away. His wolf never opposed him before but now it was something weird that he had never faced before.

And all his questions were finally answered when the soft whisper of his wolf echoed in his mind freezing him on the spot.

Mate.
