The Deadly Alpha novel Chapter 31

I opened my eyes with a cloth that was taped on my mouth, I couldn't sense anyone in my mind nor link to signal for help, all I was doing was sitting on a rough chair with my hands tied.

The vividly red colored lair was frightening; it had a bunch of people tied too, they were dead yet their screams echoed like robots, my heart was still beating crazily as I prayed for the Alpha to make an appearance.

"Ah, you woke up." The burly man from before, Alpha Sean Jaden from the Wildcrest pack walked in front of me. I knew this man had something terrible about him, how could the Alpha befriend someone so horrible was beyond me.

I heard that his son, Alec Jaden was a very kind-hearted soul who helped anyone in need, how could he be related to such a rat looking man? I shivered internally at his look once he got rid of the cloth that was in my mouth, finally breathing from my mouth instead of my nose.

"So pretty." His smoke-filled breath said against my face, I cringed and spat on him with a disgusted look on my face.

"How dare you? My mate will rip you apart." I growled at him, he put silver on me so my wolf could be disconnected, that bastard.

"He wouldn't because if he came," he opened his hands to reveal a huge packet of pills, my heart went overdrive, "you will watch him kill himself." The man chuckled like it was the funniest thing ever in his eyes.

I imagined my life after me, the Alpha grieving, my baby boy growing up to be a tough man in love with his mate, me looking down at them with a smile on my face as they both moved on.

Focus, Destalia. I chided myself as I glared at the man in front of me. He had chubby cheeks and soggy eyes, he seemed like he was in his sixties or fifties.

"You created these pills?" I gasped in realization as he smiled.

"Another thing sweetheart, I also told your pack in the hall about your little Moon Goddess's curse." He laughed some more as my heart now went into overdrive. My hands sweating from the pressure of the tied knots around my wrists.

"Why?" I could imagine the pack members rebelling and the Alpha weakening if this man was to give me the pill.

"Because darling, it's the power of business, fake friends will only want benefits, maybe I could spare your life to be with me." I once again pulled away from his face as he got closer.

"Get your hands off of my mate." The Alpha came in and roared, a rush of hope consumed me until it drained away with the dread of what was about to come.

"Don't you dare!" I screamed as my eyes turned yellowish again and I broke free as I blinked, making the man tumble away as I went for my mate, his hand grabbed my ankle made me trip to the ground but the Alpha wasn't giving up, he carried me and glowered at the man.
