Submit to me

Natalia's POV

I sat at the corner of the dark room I was kept in, my hand curled around my legs. I had been dragged, beaten and kept away from sunlight, I could not even tell the passage of time. I had not bathed or changed my clothes in three days, and I happened to be wearing a white dress. It was no longer white though, as it was stained beyond recognition when the pack warriors dragged me here.

Four days ago, I would had never thought that I will ever find myself in this position. I was the pack's princess, the Alpha's daughter. It all happened in the blink of an eye. The pack was suddenly attacked by none other, but the pack's Gamma, the quiet and trusted Aaron. Or so I thought. Aaron killed my father, and now he parades himself as the Alpha.

What I could not wrap my head around was the fact that he had so much men whom were willing to turn against my father. My father was surrounded by traitors and he knew nothing of it. I would make Aaron and his men suffer with the last drop of my blood, even if that was the last thing I did before I died.

The door suddenly opened, and I squinted my gaze hard as my eyes fought to adjust to the light. It wasn't that bright, but for me who had not seem a glimpse of light for days, it was blinding.

"The Alpha needs you." Kenneth said to me, as he reached to pull me up.

"Don't fucking touch me." I growled at him, shaking my head in disappointment. I had always seem Kenneth as a friend and a big brother, and he showed me care that only a brother would show to his sister. Little did I know...

"Better tone down your attitude, Nat. The new Alpha didn't come to play." His voice was cold as he spoke, so unlike what I remembered. He then grabbed my arm and dragged me away.

We arrived at the living room, which happened to belong to my family before, but now, Aaron had claimed it. Kenneth pushed me down, and I landed roughly on the ground, staring at someone's shoes. I didn't need to look up to know who it was. It was the fucking bastard.

I looked up to see him. "I will be your end, Aaron."

Kenneth was about to kick me for calling him by his name, but Aaron held out his hand for him stop. Aaron then crouched down, and I felt my heart skip in a bad way. The lies, the betrayal, the... He was so good, so loyal... How did he turn into this person? This monster?

"I will advise you to be good, princess, because I hold your life in my hands."

I looked at him, searching his eyes, wanting to see a glimpse of the gamma I admired, but Aaron showed nothing. There was neither a smile nor a frown. His face was just... Empty.

"You are a fucking bastard." I spat at him. "I want you to keep that in mind. You are not even a real Alpha."

His gaze hardened as he stared at me, and I groaned when I felt my wolf wanting me to bend in submission to him. Only Alphas and people with the Alpha bloodline had the power to force other wolves into submission. I was even more surprised as he easily forced me, as I had the blood of an Alpha.

I tried to fight off the submission, but it only began to hurt.

"You are strong, princess, but not strong enough."

I whimpered in pain, as I felt my wolf began to lose strength and I fell on my knees in front of him. I clenched my fists, an awful feeling filling my chest. He killed my father, and now he was forcing me to submit to him.

I still held on, not wanting to lower my head, as it would indicate full submission.

"Go on, princess. Submit and acknowledge me as your Alpha." He growled at me, and I felt a shiver run down my spine at his command. I could no longer fight it. My head lowered, and I found myself submitting to him. He was not even trying too hard, and I was already like this.

"Fucking kill me." I yelled. "I rather die than live as one of your own."

He then loosened his force on me, and I returned my gaze to his face.

"Have you been eating?" He then asked me, and I shook my head in disbelief. He wanted to pretend like he didn't know that I was locked up without given food or water?

"Rot in hell!"

He then turned to Kenneth. "Has she been eating?"

"She was given food on the first day, but she didn't touch it, so we didn't bring any to her again."

Aaron glared at Kenneth. "Feed her. I need her alive."

"Should I have her locked up again?" Kenneth then asked, and Aaron stared at me for a while, looking as if he was considering the options. "Lock her up." He finally decided, and I stood up.

"What did I fucking do to you, Aaron? What did my father do? All your love, loyalty, have they all been fake? Is someone doing something to you? Are you being forced to do this?" I bombarded him with some of the numerous questions that were going on in my head.

"It is not in your place to know. Just know your place and focus on not getting killed. I am letting you off easily today, even with all your disrespect. I will not take it lightly when you piss me off next time." He warned me, and I shivered. There was something about the way he spoke, and I feared that he meant every word he said. He had lost his fucking mind.

"I will pay you back for the things you have done to me. You will not be Alpha, long enough to enjoy your reign. I will end you before you do." I swore to him, but he turned away and left, as if what I was saying made no sense, but I fucking meant every word I said. I was going to make him regret his actions.
