Desire for you- ALPHA RYAN Book 1
Chapter 19

KILIAN

I shook Ryan awake "Hey buddy, come to your senses, Catherine's run away from us. The whole pack is on the lookout for her, but we need to deal with the problem urgently." I said to him and helped him back up.

He looked at me angrily, "How the hell did she run away?" he asked me.

I grinned at him and looked at the syringe lying on the floor. "She knocked you out," I said, contacting my beta.

'Dion? Get Catherine's parents to the Black Moon pack as soon as you can.

'Will do Alpha, do you want Milena to come too and Liya?' he asked me.

'They can come with us, but I'm warning you in advance, Catherine has turned off her emotions and is going crazy at the moment. She's escaped from us. We'll have to catch her again, but it would be good if her mother is here when we get her.' I explained to Dion.

Milena was my mate, she had always been good friends with Catherine from an early age and I was beginning to miss her. My stay here with Ryan lasted longer than planned. I couldn't leave him here alone with Catherine. Not after everything that had happened...

"Her family is on their way. Let's go look for Catherine now. She won't get far, Rose would drag her back here if she turned." I said to Ryan and we both transformed and stormed out of the house.

We tried to smell her scent and searched the whole territory for her. Her rose smell was intense.

After searching for her for an hour, we came back to the point where her scent was the most intense.

'Damn, she's nowhere to be seen. Onyx said under his breath. 'She must be here.' He said emphatically.

I heard a soft giggle and looked up. She was sitting on a 5 meter high fir tree, watching us with amusement.

'I thought you'd never replace me,' she said with a grin, holding on to the trunk of the tree.

We transformed again and stood naked in front of the trees.

"Hah, moon goddess, lovely view here." She called down and we didn't know if she was serious about the view or us.

"You'll get more of this view when you finally get down there!" Ryan shouted up to her.

"Who said I was talking about you guys?" She laughed and sat down on the branch.

She dangled her feet back and forth.

"Catherine, come down now or we'll come up!" I exclaimed and looked at Ryan.

"If the mountain won't come to the Prophet, then the Prophet will come to the mountain!" Ryan shouted at her.

She rolled her eyes.

Ryan and I looked at each other and grinned.

As if he could read my mind, he walked off the log on one side and I on the other.

We started shaking the trunk at the same time.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Catherine shouted down to us.

"We're getting you underneath, what else?" We said uni like that.

We shook it harder and we heard Catherine scream "Stop it!" She shouted.

"Give Rose the command and get under it, we're not stopping!" Shouted Ryan up to her and with the strength we had, you'd have thought the tree was about to snap.

All the birds were scared away from the nearby trees.

Suddenly we heard a branch break. The branch Catherine was sitting on.

She clung to the other branch in time and hung in the air. The branch that had broken came crashing down at my feet.

"Damn, that was close..." I said to Ryan and looked at him.

"Cate let yourself fall, I'll catch you, I swear!" Yelled Ryan up.

We looked at Catherine, who was still trying to pull herself up.

Not a second later, her hand slipped and she fell. Her scream was barely audible.

Meanwhile, Maya and Michael came running towards us, Tristan was still in bed recovering.

Ryan immediately got into position to catch Catherine.

Before Catherine could fall, she turned into her wolf and Rose landed on her paws next to Ryan.

She glared at us 'Couldn't you climb up to catch her, dammit!'

"Well, I'm afraid of heights, you know that." I said to Rose, putting my hands up apologetically.

"She would have climbed higher if we hadn't done that." Argued Ryan.

Rose rolled her eyes.

'Get to the pack house now and best chain me up' she said and ran ahead. We turned and ran after her.

When we arrived at the pack house, Rose went straight down to the dungeons. "Are we really going to lock her in there?" I asked Ryan. He also looked at me with uncertainty "Apparently Rose wants to play it safe..." he said and went after her.

"Rose, are you sure you want us to chain you up here?" he asked her cautiously.

She glared at him.

'I'm not jumping out of a tree again, let's be clear. Do what needs to be done,' she said.

RYAN

I looked at Rose and picked up the steel chains.

I walked up to her and put the chains on. 'Pull them tighter, Catherine will disappear off the face of the earth.' Rose said emphatically and looked me in the eye.

Catherine had a beautiful she-wolf, graceful, intelligent and her heart was in the right place.

I bit my lower lip and tightened the handcuffs.

'I'm sorry, Rose. Having to tie you up under these circumstances kind of tears at my heart." I confessed honestly and ran my hand over her head.

'We have Daeva to blame for this situation, she manipulated Catherine too much and let's not forget that it wasn't just her talk that manipulated Catherine. Daeva had a malicious aura about her that was almost too contagious... She was brainwashed. What worries me more is that this beast lurks within her...' Rose explained, lying down on the floor.

I nodded 'I think my alpha command triggered this in her. I remember too well when her eyes glowed dark red,' I said and put on my clothes, which Kilian put in my hand.

'You must move forward, I can't keep Catherine in check for long. The best thing would be for her mother to come here as soon as possible. Maybe she can help us with her demon too ...' I could see Rose's eyes turning blue again and again.

'I trust you, Ryan,' Rose said, staring at me.

Onyx stepped forward and my eyes turned black.

'It's about time we were united, Rose...' Onyx said, eyeing Rose.

'I agree with you dear, make sure Ryan doesn't mess it up this time...' Rose said.

A few seconds later, Rose turned back into Catherine, who was now lying naked on the floor.

Onyx disappeared into my mind again.

I looked down at Catherine and sat down in front of her.

I noticed that she was still so petite and all her bones were visible. As soon as the situation was stable again, the next thing I would do would be to fatten her up. A large amount of chocolate.

"Damn." She growled, glaring up at me. "What are you looking at?" she asked, annoyed.

I raised my eyebrows in amusement and smiled at her. "You flew like a free bird, sweetie... You're lucky you turned at the last second," I said, shrugging my shoulders and running my fingers through my hair.

"Yeah right, so I can be locked up again." Catherine laughed.

"Since I've been here in this dump, I haven't had a damn day off. Someone always had to keep an eye on me. If it wasn't Cynthia, it was Maya or you. Oh yeah, how's your Gamma, was nice, a dose like that?" she smiled provocatively.

"He's fine again, he can take something like that without any problems," I said, shrugging my shoulders and sat down on the floor with her.

"Do you remember sitting in that cell..." I said.

"You were completely broken..." I emphasized again.

Catherine smiled at me. "Are you coming back with that act?"

I shook my head. "No, Catherine, I'm not coming up with that number, I'm just here to tell you how bad you were then. You were so bad that you passed out a kilometer after we escaped from Arnor's fortress." I looked into her eyes.

"The pain you were in... All the suffering you had to go through... Can you imagine... that your own mother had turned off her feelings too? She could no longer bear to know that you might be dead..."

Her expression changed abruptly and became serious "What are you getting at?" she said lightly.

"I'm not getting at anything... They had to lock her up, keep her prisoner, just like they kept you prisoner." I tried really hard to draw her out of her reserves. Even if she was angry, that would be the first step to getting her feelings back.

"Do you know what you do to wolves when they get out of control?" I asked her again.

She laughed and shook her head "What you're telling me here is bullshit. Tell that to someone else, Ryan. I know your plan." She grinned wickedly at me. She really didn't seem to want to believe me.

I looked over at Kilian, who just shrugged his shoulders. "Can you get her some clothes?" I asked him. He nodded and walked out of the cell without saying anything.

I turned back to her and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Do you know what they do to naughty girls?" I asked her, raising my eyebrow.

"You dress them?" she asked innocently, looking me in the eye. The fact that she was standing naked in front of me didn't really make it easy for me.

"You strip them and spank their asses," I growled and looked her in the eye.

"Preferably with a whip." I glared at her angrily.

Her pupils constricted briefly. But her grin didn't fade. Her poker face.

I looked at her long black hair and stroked it with one hand.

"In the end, you'll be the one who gets whipped," she said and leaned back again.

Meanwhile, Kilian came back with her clothes and went back outside the door.

I grabbed her underpants and put them on her. She really didn't make it easy for me. She watched me grinning as I put them on.

I released one of her hands to slide the sweater down her arm, secured it again and did the same with the other arm. Before I pulled her sweater all the way down, I grabbed her waist and pressed her against my torso. "You'll end up begging me for it...", I whispered against her lips.
