5 - The Alpha is a prison bully

SOFIA

The words kept haunting my mind.

The Alpha wants to see you right now.

I didn’t need to see anybody. If he was the Alpha, it meant something to his pack of dogs, but I wasn’t part of it. This was a prison and everyone was equal here.

I wasn’t sure if that was true or if I was trying to convince myself of lies.

There were inmates here who were far more superior than the others. Creatures with the power to run the show, to dominate, and demand submission.

Unfortunately, it seemed like the Alpha possessed that power.

I walked out of the shower hastily coming face to face with a dozen other male creatures who stood naked. Some of them were putting on their uniforms, others leering at me. Their thoughts were completely transparent.

I just need a piece of her.

Wonder if she would accept me as her protector.

That ass is hot! I want to be the one to fuck her!

Will it be dangerous to have sex with a vampire?

I tuned them out and went to the locker where a clean pair of uniform was waiting for me. There was a towel wrapped around my body and yet I still felt naked in front of the other inmates.

An inmate was working behind the counter.

He smelled of humans but I wasn’t very sure.

If he was really human, I wondered how he felt safe working with so many creatures. He was food for them.

I placed my token on the counter.

“Can I have a uniform, please?”

He looked at me once before looking away, continuing to hand out the uniforms to others.

“Excuse me?”

“The Alpha said you can’t have the uniform.”

I stared at him, completely baffled. “I’m sorry, what?”

“The Alpha. He says you’re not allowed to have one unless you talk to him first.”

I gave out a humorless laugh. “Why would you listen to him? He’s not the boss around here! Give me my clothes!”

“Look, I’m sorry but I can’t go against Alpha Maverick’s word.”

“So what do you suggest I wear for the whole day? Palm fronds? Oh wait, I wouldn’t even get those here. Do you realize survival is already difficult for me in this place even with the clothes on?”

He looked guilty but didn’t make a move to help me out.

“Forget it!”

Hot tears were burning behind my eyes but I’d die before I show a sign of weakness. I started turning away when he called out to me.

“There’s one way you can get your clothes back.”

“How?”

“Talk to the Alpha.”

I huffed and walked away from there.

It was no use talking to him. Things here were apparently run by the alpha and he seemed to have inflicted some type of fear into their minds that they would do whatever he asked them to.

I dried my hair with an extra towel I found and then I carefully wrapped the towel around my body, making sure all my private bits were covered. This is the last place I wanted the towel to drop.

I had to strategize my path from the bathroom to my prison cell because between that ten-minute walk, I could be pulled in by a bunch of savages.

And I wasn’t just talking about rapists. There were creatures here who ate other creatures.

I made a beeline for the exit, but before I had any chance of walking out of there, three large men blocked my path. I didn’t even have to look up to know who one of them was.

The Alpha’s Minion One caught one of them and hauled him towards the exit, “Get outta here.”

When most of the creatures were gone, Minion Two slammed the door shut leaving just the three of us standing in the prison bathroom.

The others scrambled out of the bathroom quickly, not wanting to witness whatever was about to happen here.

The Alpha stood only a few feet away from me, I was within his reach but he didn’t make a move, not yet at least. He looked like he could sense my thoughts about bolting.

“I’ll scream!”

He chuckled darkly, “Scream all you want. We’ll see who can hear you.”

He was huge with inky black hair and brown eyes that had golden specks in them. That evil face was joined to a set of broad shoulders, muscled with a lean waist to go with it. He wasn’t anyone you would call handsome by the books, but there was a rugged edge to him that made him seem almost attractive.

He was wearing a pair of grey prison pants which rode low enough that I had a perfect view of his V-cut abs and the light dust of dark hair over his chest. From the first glance, I could tell that those pair of haunting beautiful eyes belonged to a wolf. They described a ‘hunter’ perfectly and in this case, it was clear who was about to be hunted.

“What do you want?” I managed to ask him.

A slow evil smile played on his lips. “What’s your name?”

“Where is my uniform?!”

“Let me try again, what’s your name?”

I wondered if I could tell him a fake name, but knowing him, I had my bets that he already knew it so it was no use lying to him. This could be some twisted game.

“Sofia.”

“Where are you from?”

“Can you move out of my way?”

He chuckled again, flashing me a set of perfect white teeth, “Do you feel threatened? All I’ve done is ask you where you’re from, Sofia, there’s no need for you to get so defensive.”

Someone tell this psycho that I wasn’t being defensive! I was frustrated with my lack of clothing!

“I’m not entitled to answer your questions. Give me my uniform and let me go!”

 I hoped he didn’t hear the quicker of fear in my voice but that was impossible.
