Captive Of The Alpha
Chapter 68

The snow was falling again, ending up on Nebraska’s bare skin and making her shiver. By now her footprints must have been hidden by the dense white blanket. All around her the landscape was uneven, there were areas where there was no sign of life and from one side to the other you could replace bush or stone formations. Behind her back one of the wolves was pushing her when she slowed down.

She had tried one of their tricks, trying to get into their minds, but she didn’t understand why it didn’t work. The wolves’ gaze was lost and no matter how hard she tried to reassure them, nothing worked.

Rudoc was leading the group with Catalina wrapped around his arm with a huge smile on her face. Liam trailed behind them stepping calmly and confidently. Nebraska glared at him. He didn’t understand how he could control them. He’d broken his head, but it wasn’t in his head.

She knew that ability. Even if she increased her efforts in a few years she could reach the level of controlling someone partially or fully, but that was because her genetics were omega. But with Liam there was no trace that she was as well. His scent was that of an ordinary wolf, with no outstanding genes like Hades, Siran or herself.

Thinking about it made her feel more dizzy than she already did. She had given Caesar too much b***d and her body was still restoring it.

They stopped again and she sighed in relief. Her legs were numb as were her bound hands. She watched as Rudoc shook Catherine off his arm and turned to face her, looking at him. He knew those eyes. They were the same as when he’d come down to the cell and raped her. A shiver ran through her body and she tensed.

The wolf at her back, held her by the shoulders burying his fingers in her skin holding her still. As if she wanted to escape at that moment. She would not leave without the antidote for her loved ones.

The alpha walked in her direction. Liam intercepted him but a growl coming from him made him run to the side again and lower his head. Catherine ran towards her father with a retort coming from her lips that was silenced when she received a blow to the cheek that left her lying next to Liam.

-Don’t let him follow me, be obedient,” she ordered the former beta in a commanding voice.

Nebraska’s breath caught in her lungs as Rudoc’s face appeared in her line of sight. She swallowed hard. Still she scowled at him without showing fear. She wasn’t afraid of him specifically, but of what he was capable of doing to her.

Rudoc smiled slightly, admiring the face of the she-wolf that he had to admit, drove him crazy.

She was beautiful, even more so than all the mistresses he had ever had before. So many times he had gone to see her after not being satisfied and with her he could come as many times as he wanted. And now he had her all to himself again. He would mark her and they would be a couple again as they should be. Even if he kept her chained to his bed all the time. He licked his lips the thought of it made him even more aroused than he already was.

Nebraska took a deep breath sensing the wolf’s condition and a thousand unpleasant images crossed her mind. But she couldn’t focus her thoughts any further when a sharp pain shot through her stomach and traveled the length of her body weakening her. She looked down and saw Rudoc’s fist against her abdomen, the bastard.

Her knees weakened and she fell forward gasping for breath. The alpha grabbed her and put her over his shoulder as if she weighed nothing. In that position, her head hung upside down and she became nauseous.

She could hear Catalina’s claims behind her back as he walked somewhere not so far away from the group but reserved. His body was grabbed by the waist and thrown back against the snow and he fell face up. His arms hurt even more under his own weight.

Well, my she-wolf, it has been a while and I don’t think I can wait long. My body is very demanding and you know it,” he brought his hand to his e******n that was beginning to show, “Don’t worry, no one will interrupt us. I hope you missed me,” he began to unbutton his clothes, licking his lips.

Nebraska lifted her head and with her feet began to back up as best she could. The blow to her abdomen had done more damage than she thought and had paralyzed several muscles in her torso.

-Where do you think you’re going,” he grabbed her ankle and pulled her back to her feet, placing a hand on her neck and crushing her violently to the ground.

-That’s better. I like it when you make war with me, but I don’t have that much time to play with you,” he said.

He leaned down to k**s her. He licked her lips and squeezed her throat, forcing her mouth open with his tongue.

Nebraska wiggled her feet trying to free herself in vain. She would not give in so easily. Frowning she clenched her teeth inside her mouth and grabbed one of Rudoc’s lips until it broke. The b***d soon reached the roof of his mouth and he could tell it tasted foul. Nothing tasted better than the b***d of her current husband.

-Bitch,” the wolf slammed his palm painfully against her cheek causing her face to turn, yanking on her neck.

The she-wolf felt her mouth fill with her own b***d as the flesh inside ruptured. Her cheek throbbed, nothing had been held back by hitting her. It wasn’t the first time it had happened and this kind of pain was nothing new to be impressed by.

-So you want it rough, and I was going to be nice this time,” he laughed bitterly to turn her over onto her stomach.

The snow against her barely covered chest was an unpleasant sensation, at least her injured cheek was grateful for the lower temperature. She tried to struggle to free herself but the back of her neck was squeezed again, slamming her to the ground. Rudoc’s body straddled her and he ran his other hand along her spine.

Nebraska wished her ability worked on those with alpha genetics, but try as she might, it was useless, she could only use that. Repressing all the pain and weakness in her body, she let her eyes shift until her iris was lost within them.

-Let me go,” he ordered through gritted teeth praying it would work.

After he had taken the b***d of both Hades and Layan his body had become considerably stronger. Maybe now he could do it.

To his surprise the hand on the back of his neck loosened its grip but he didn’t let go.

-Rudoc growled and slammed her to the ground again as if to bury her, leaving her dizzy from the impact, “Don’t use your tricks on me Nebraska, they won’t work.

The wolf’s hands this time more roughly went to the top of her clothes and tore at her back. She gasped at being so helpless and for the first time in years her eyes filled with tears.

Before, this was all she had known. Now that she had been with Hades and experienced how soft and delicious a lover could treat her body. To be exposed in such a way was so repulsive that she was disgusted with herself, especially for being so weak. If she were at full strength she would not give in so easily.

Rudoc licked the curve of her back, tasting the feminine skin.

-Delicious. No one must touch this flesh but me, I’ve always said, you’re perfect, the thought of others looking at you drove me mad.

His tongue continued its journey until it stopped on something present on the now uncovered nape of her neck. A growl made her shiver.

-Nebraska, what the hell is this?” he pressed the area where the deep mark of Hades was visible making her scream, “Why are you marked?

Despite her state she snorted in pleasure. The fool had no notice that he had joined body and soul with his greatest enemy and through the mark belonged to him alone.

-No wonder Catalina calls you a whore, you open your legs for anyone,” his words came out of his mouth like acid.

He stood up from her giving her a breath to grab her by the hair and pull her back to where the others were. Liam and Catalina stood up when they saw them coming. The wolf threw her roughly to the ground as if she were a rag doll.

Rudoc walked over to Liam and grabbed him by his clothes. He slammed his fist in the middle of his face, breaking his nose.

-You can’t even do anything right,” he snarled at the wolf who lay on the floor holding his bleeding face, “You didn’t tell me she was marked, you a*****e, good for nothing,” he stomped his stomach with his foot making him g***n and doubled over in pain.

Catherine recoiled, not being used to seeing her father so upset or so violent. He had never behaved that way in front of anyone.

-Grab her, don’t let her escape,” the alpha roared to the soldier in charge of controlling Nebraska and he grabbed her shoulders, straightening her up. The she-wolf didn’t even make an effort to struggle, she was too weak to put up a fight.

-I see how things are, so you betray me,” her former husband said, “But don’t worry my beautiful wife, just because you are marked doesn’t mean you can’t belong to me,” he laughed and all colour left Nebraska’s face, foreseeing the worst, “There is a way to remove the mark you have, when I bite you,” she said.

-Dad,” Catalina refrained from throwing a tantrum and just stood to the side trembling slightly, “Didn’t you say you would kill her and make me queen?

Glassy eyes turned up and down her face. His smile completely paralyzed her daughter.

-I wanted to wait until your first 100 years, so you’d be of more use to me, but at least you’ll be of use to me for the time being,” he reached up and touched her cheek with his fingertips.

-What do you mean, father,” her voice trembled.

-You don’t know, my beautiful daughter. If you devour your children’s bodies at a necessary age you will absorb their energy and become stronger,” he watched as she opened her eyes wider, “Why do you think I had so many children? They were all preparing to be delicious morsels and a source of energy and power – she showed all her teeth, especially her fangs.

Catalina, terrified, turned and started to run but that only encouraged Rudoc’s inner beast to come out. Turning into a beast, she hunted him down and fell on his small body, tearing it apart bit by bit without mercy. It was so fast that no one had time to react.

-Mama, save me,” cried the puppy to Nebraska for help, before her eyes became completely lifeless. But her mother, no matter how hard she shook, could not get out of the wolf’s grip. His relationship with her was as bad as it could get, yet to see your daughter being devoured in such a way put all those aspects aside.

Only when Rudoc raised his bloody nose, leaving a sea of b***d beneath him and barely a trace of bone in his clothes, could Nebraska feel a devastating emptiness. One so deep that it made him fall forward with silent tears falling from his eyes in shock. Her daughter was dead and with her a part of her soul had also been consumed.
