Alpha's Unique Human Girl novel Chapter 24

Seconds later, light shines through the bar's door. Three men stumble out all considerably drunk, I think back to my mother, always a beer bottle nearby. "You've done well to still be alive human," One of them slurs as they stand in front of me, "Doesn't she look cold," He says with fake pity as the others laugh behind him.

"So tiny and frail" My eyes widen a fraction as they all surround the small cage I sit in. "The alpha marked a petty human? Weak. I could take him ya know. Oh what I would give to dig my claws into him. To watch the life leave his eyes."

"You wouldn't stand a chance." I spit. I don't know why I felt the sudden urge to protect him, I just did. "What? You think a filthy whore like you can speak to us?" I watch as he raises his hand. Slamming the bottle he holds against the bars, I feel it cut my skin. The sleeve of my shirt filled with rips from the sharp glass as the remaining beer coats me. The three laugh as they pick up the container of bottles they have. "I think we have a better use for these, right?"

I watch my tesoro from her window as she looks up to the sky, her lips moving as she speaks, tears dripping from her eyes. I can feel how cold she is, my skin occasionally pricks as if I'm being stabbed, the pain she's feeling, all over her body. I watched as that boy through the balloons on her, how she grimaced from the cold, I can see from here the fact that her shirt is now practically ice clinging to her body.

I suck in a deep breath as I head back to my office. She hasn't got long left, that I know however it is definitely not likely to be the starvation to be her cause of death. When I went through with this I intended having more time, It completely slipped my mind how much the cold affects her.

I can't lose her, but if I keep her, a massive change will occur. My reign would grow weaker, I would be viewed as weak by other packs, which could cause attacks. Hundreds of livescould be lost from me saving one person. But on the other side, I'm weak without a Luna, and if I lost her the pain would be insufferable, I would basically be an open target. She's needed here, to keep this pack strong. I feel the crook of my shoulder burn, right about where my mark would be if she could give me one, however I choose to ignore it, knowing it's probably her hatred for me.

I sigh in frustration, leaning my head back against my chair.

Go talk to her.

I turn to face the men as they attempt to back away, "Stay here," I whisper to my mate as I step away from the now broken cage. Instantly I grab the omega by his throat, lifting him to my height. "Al-," He tries to speak as he attempts to claw my hand away from his throat.

"You verbally abused and threw beer bottles at your luna." I spit as I hold one by his throat. "She was in a position to, If you were a better Alpha and a better Mate it wouldn't have happened." He spits in return. I'm shocked. The disrespect is something ive never experienced before. I feel my grip tighten. "Need I remind you. You are below me. You are always below me. I will not stand for that disrespect. I am

your Alpha." I throw him to the ground. Lance steps forward from the crowd that has formed. Leading the Omega away. "Do you two have anything to say?" Both males shake their heads as they rush away.

I turn back to her. "I'm sorry." I whisper, wrapping my arms around her. She's a lot skinnier, Paler. She doesn't look how she was before it all, for good reason. Her head leans against my chest. I feel my heart rate raise as I place my hand in her hair.
