Enslaved to the alpha

Kaia

I ran as far as my legs could take me into the woods without looking back.

"Get her!. Don't let that witch escape!" Alpha Beckett, one of my pursers shouted behind me hot on his heels as he leads his armies of Pack warriors after me.

I could barely make out where I was going as it was dark and my senses were all a blur as the only thing that mattered to me right now was to survive the night.

"Fuck!" I cried, tripping over a sharp, metal trap that caught my right leg. Placing my hands over my mouth to silence my cries, I tried to free my leg from the metal trap but it wouldn't budge.

Please, dear moon goddess selene. Help me.

With a muffled groan, I made another attempt to remove the metal trap off my legs and this time it came off. But at what cost?. My pursers had finally caught up with me.

A wide grin splayed across Alpha Beckett's face as he draws out his sword against my neck. "I think it's best you give up now, don't you agree?"

"Pleas.."

"Your words would only prolong your suffering" Alpha Beckett warns, cutting me off.

Bashing the hilt of his sword against my head, Alpha Beckett turns to his pack warriors. "Finish her"

"Yes, Alpha!"

No one was coming to save me. The moon goddess selene had turned her back against me, Alpha Beckett held my parents hostage. What else did I even have to live for?.

I shut my eyes tightly to receive my fate as Alpha Beckett's sword came down onto me.

But then, I heard faint sound of two metals clanking together.

Throwing my eyes wide open, I stare at the back of a mysterious man before me. He had drawn his sword just in time against Alpha Beckett's.

Alpha Beckett's face had a mix of displeasure "Who are you to intrude?"

"Me?" He scoffs. "I'm no-one of any particular interest but I won't have you lay a finger on my mate"

I stilled. His mate?. Who?. Me?.

As far as I was concerned, I wasn't mated to anyone. The entire buckmoon pack and Alpha Beckett knew that.

Alpha Beckett lets out an hysterical laugh. "That witch has no mate, boy"

"Is that so?" The mysterious man inquired asnhe turns around to face me. It was then I'd gotten a good look at his face.

His features were ordinary except the mole he had at the side of his eyebrow.

"They say we aren't mate" he says to me. "I don't know who is mistaken"

Was he trying to help me?. Why?. Did he know me from somewhere?.

I couldn't wrap my head around these questions and honestly, I wasn't trying to. All I knew was that I wanted to survive this night at all cost.

Playing by his game, a slow smirk splayed across my lips as I replied Alpha Beckett. "Surprise"

Anger seemed evident in Alpha Beckett's eyes. "You!. So you were mated to another and still insisted to marry my son!. Truly, he died because of you!. All of you, kill them all!"

With a loud shout, Alpha Beckett's pack warriors rushed towards us with their swords pulled out and ready to fight.
