Alpha's Pet

She escaped…

Miserable…

That’s how I feel right now. You know that feeling when you start thinking about the choices you’ve made in life and you start wondering what your life has come to?

Well, that was how I felt after she ran away from me. My blood was boiling in rage. My body was shaking in rage and I lost every ounce of control and I turned back to the beast and power-drunk Alpha.

Jason was my only link to her and I kept him locked in my dungeon, torturing him for her location every damn day. But he maintained his story, he said he has no idea where she could have gone. He admitted to giving her some money to last her for some time, but that was all we could get out of him.

Jasper had kept to his promise. He had rallied some warriors and searched every city from New York to Washington, searching every town for her but it seems like she fell off the surface of the earth, they just couldn’t find her. I must confess, she is so smart to have evaded my warriors for over six months. I don’t know how she did it, but I admire her courage and I wish I had met her, even once. I want to see what she is made of, I want to know the wisdom behind that beautiful face. I know I said I didn’t want her, but I couldn’t help asking myself if she would have accepted me if I asked her to rule by my side?

With the way she ran off without second thought, running as far away from a monster like me, I’m guessing that she would have spit in my face if I had caught her and told her that I want her to be my queen when I eventually become king. She is feisty and strong and brave, I wondered how fun it would have been if I had her here with me. I’m sure she would never bend to my will easily, but with careful monitoring and training, I could bend her to my will and mold her into a strong queen that would make me proud.

I searched for Stephanie for almost six months. I cursed the moon goddess over and over again for making it impossible for one to forget about his mate. This is the very reason why I never wanted her. The moon goddess is just a lovesick puppy. She loves a happy ending and that is why she blesses every wolf with a mate. But she never stopped to think of repercussions and she never asked for our permission. She simply gives you a mate and you have no choice but to accept her.

That’s bullshit!

I wonder why everyone thinks I’m a brute when our dearest moon goddess is even worse than I am. Because of Stephany’s disappearance, I am now forced to live my life with a heavy heart. My heart aches whenever I think about her. I have no fucking choice, I couldn’t let one girl that I don’t even need to mess up my plans, I had to give up on searching for her, it is obvious that she doesn’t want to have anything to do with me, it’s better if I purge it out with other activities. At first, I found solace in the picture frame that I had taken from her house and I keep it close by always. Her beautiful smile on the frame always makes me feel happy but after a while, I discovered that I was getting addicted to it, I couldn’t sleep without holding her picture close to my heart.

That was so crazy and stupid. It’s the curse of the mate bond and I blame the moon goddess for turning me soft. I stopped my men from searching for her and I had to put her frame far away from me, that way, I could try and forget the warmth and peace of mind that I felt when she was close to me in her father’s pack. I spent every night with a whore to take my mind off her, I can’t be controlled by a stupid bond. I won’t be distracted from my dreams, I’ve got a destiny to fulfill.

I never thought I would ever see her again, I never thought she would find her way back to me. But one day, I felt that familiar warmth surrounding me, and I felt my wolf howling excitedly in my head. I thought he was just being silly, I’m just about to eat and his loud howling in my head is so fucking annoying.

Damn it, Scott!

I’m hungry and tired for fucks sake!

Why must you be such a joy killer?

The least you can do is to let me savor these delicious appetizers, it’s been a long day man. What are you whining about this time, what could be so important that you can’t wait for me to get food into my…

I broke off in my question when I watched the girls walk in, taking precise steps as they walked in like models on a runway. I wasn’t really captivated by their beautiful walks, what got me gawking at them is a redhead that looks like the goddess of fire. She had the looks that could be mistaken for a fallen angel but her redhead makes her look wild and fabulous. It felt like her body and heart were waging war together. By her calm and collected demeanor, You could tell that she is a calm and collected person but her outfit and her looks spoke a different story. She is wearing a floor-length blue gown that flows down to the floor. The sleeves are thin and off-shoulder with a long slit on the right side running up her thigh, exposing her beautiful, spotless long legs. The back of the gown has a very low neckline that shows off my flawless skin at her back, and her red heels match her purse and hair. Her wavy red hair is combed out and it flows down her shoulder, giving her an enchanting look. She wore a gold earring, necklace, and bracelet that suits me and compliments her outfit, I just couldn’t take my eyes off her.

“The redhead is mine,” I told everyone through our mind link, but I had my eyes on her, looking closely at her face. She had her eyes down and I could tell that she is avoiding my eyes on purpose, but it doesn’t change a damn thing. That face, that pretty face that had nearly made me go crazy. I could point out that face in a crowded dark room, I’ve gazed at her picture long enough to know every line and spot on her face. Why don’t I smell her?

Could my mind be playing tricks on me?

This must be why Scott is acting all weird, he must have sensed her presence even if he doesn’t smell her. According to Jason, she had run away from here because she thought I was going to kill her, and now she is here in my Castle, disguised as a redhead, looking so sexy and tempting. She must be really smart or very stupid, Why would she come back here and how did she become a whore?

Is she trying to play a fast one on me?

Everyone was waiting for me to make my choice. I had already told them that I wanted the redhead, but they just can’t go to the floor before me, besides, they know I may probably pick more than one girl and that is exactly what I plan to do. That redhead is Stephanie Delaney and she has got some tricks up her sleeve, I just don’t know what she is planning, but I’m willing to play along and see what she is made of. Does she know that I am her mate? Her wolf must be suppressed because I can’t feel the connection and I can’t perceive her scent. I stood up and walked to the girls, moving from one girl to the other. I stopped in front of a blonde lady that looks to be in her early twenties, and she is standing right next to Stephanie with her head down, looking so young and innocent.

“Hello beautiful, what’s your name?” I asked her with a warm smile, lifting her head to gaze into her eyes. I could feel Steph's eyes on me and from the corner of my eyes, I could see her brown eyes gazing intently at me. Why are her eyes brown, why is everything so different about her?

“Marcus, did you happen to mention my name to the girls before you brought them here?” I asked him curiously. He is the one I put in charge of this operation. He is a beta in one of the packs I conquered and he offered to work for me. He acts a bit weird sometimes, I always catch him with one of the omega and he never sticks to one chick. I’ve warned him severally but he just can’t control his dick, but he is still useful to me so I have to put up with his stupidity sometimes. So far, he hasn’t forced himself on any girl so I don’t pay too much attention to his lousy attitude.

“I did my king, I let them know that I was bringing them to castle black to meet our king. Is there a problem, my king?” he asked me back.

“No Marcus, there is no problem at all. Could you check on Jason and Harriet and find out why they are late to this party?” I told him as a mischievous smile spread across my face,

“This is going to be very funny?

What the hell is she up to?”
