Alpha's love
Rescue

“STOP you fool, we need her conscious if we are going to get her to answer our questions. Hurry and give her this before she passes out!” Just as soon as the pain was wearing away and she was slipping out of consciousness she felt another flare of pain as another needle was pushed into her arm and a jolt of energy zipped through her. A hand smacked her across her face bringing her back awake. The men had finished tying her up, adding a forehead clamp that didn't allow her to move her head forward at all. Her body was still weak but she could hear Milean calling out to her weakly, telling her that the drugs they were giving her were weakening her wolf. "Not so tough now are you alpha, perhaps this will be almost as easy as killing your beta," a wolf said and Aria snarled. The wolf moved into view, pushing an assortment of tools that Aria could see would only bring her pain. The wolves that had brought her here moved away, stepping into the corners of the room their faces a blank mask. The beta smiled as he brought up a complex device clipping each of the prongs on the ends to her fingernails. He held the other end, his fingers hovering above the twisty knobs that connected the wires to the prongs, "I'm sure that you know what this is alpha. If you answer my question I won't tighten these knobs which in turn won't pull your fingernails off, if you don't well...pain. I hear it's one of the most painful things so I figured we'd start there." Aria nearly laughed,

"I'm an alpha, not to mention a werewolf, rogue, you don't think I haven't been through worse? I suppose you'll see for yourself how bad things can be when your alpha tortures you." The beta snarled at her,

"My name is Eric, and as for my alpha torturing me, he'll give me a quick death he's always been into quick deaths, besides he's not my alpha anymore, I work for myself." Aria did laugh this time, a humorless dark chuckle,

"you don't know do you, he's my mate you fucking idiot. He's going to torture you to the edge of death and then right as you are begging for death I'm going to kill you...slowly," Aria sneered spitting in his face. He let out a bellow of rage before twisting the knobs, and Aria flung her head back as a reaction to the pain, watching as one of her fingernails was slowly pulled off. She bit the inside of her lip drawing blood to stop her screaming as Eric laughed at her.

"Now then before your bloody mate replaces us let's get to the questions. Where are the weak spots on your territory?" Aria didn't answer him only biting her lip harder, tensing as he twisted a different knob this time, slowly tearing another one of her fingernails off. Aria cursed out loud, tears brimming in her eyes, as she called out desperately in her mind hoping for Eve to hear her. She almost cried out loud in relief as she heard a whisper of a voice in her head, I'm coming, we found you. Eric cocked his head as if listening to something and let out a stream of curse words. Taking out a long knife he turned away from Aria, pacing back and forth for a few seconds before he turned to her and stabbed the knife into her stomach. The pain didn't register for a few seconds as Aria stared at the knife protruding from her stomach, the blade buried hilt deep. Eric stared at the blade and let out a short laugh before glaring at his goons,

"May we meet again, alpha. Boys let's go we can't all die today." With that he scurried out of the room, slamming the door behind him as blood began to seep out of the wound around the hilt of the blade. Then the pain hit so hard that Aria screamed louder than she ever had before. Tears were falling down her face now as she tried to remain as still as possible, any movement jarring the blade inside her. She heard Eve screaming at her through their mind-link but she couldn't make out what her beta was saying, too focused on staying conscious. Milean was yelling at her to telling her to stay awake, stay still, tell Eve where we were, and not to die before we got the chance to be with our mate. Aria closed her head, focusing on breathing as she heard shouts outside her door. Then the door was being opened and warm hands were on her whispering in her ear. Her eyes fluttered open and she saw Marcus standing in front of her his face crazed with worry and anger as he ripped at her constraints. "Marcus..." she croaked and he flashed her a smile,

"don't move okay, we're going to get you out of here okay. Eve is scouring the building looking for them, why aren't you healing!?" Aria tried to respond but a sudden wave of weakness came over her as the blood pooling around to knife wound increased. Marcus cursed out loud his eyes black as his wolf came out, tearing her forehead band off and scooping her into his arms. Aria let out another scream of pain, the throbbing at the edge of her eyes increasing at her sudden movement. Marcus staggered as if pained and Aria's head lolled against his shoulder, "Take the damn blade out and staunch the bleeding with your hand, Milean is too weak from the drugs," Aria whispered as darkness began creeping over her again. Marcus didn't reply only gripped the handle and drew it out, his large hand pressing against the wound as he ran through the corridors with her. The last thing Aria felt before she past out was Marcus's lips touching hers, a gentle reminder of what he was to her...a ma
