I Love You, My Possessive Alpha
Scene 3

I thought for a moment….This was not a decision to be taken lightly. Even so, I was prepared to do anything to save an innocent life. I held out my arm, silently accepting his deal. His eyes sparkled for a moment. Still in perfect silence, interrupted from time to time by the little girl’s cries. Ares transformed in a matter of seconds and took the dagger held out to him by one of his subordinates. I looked away, embarrassed at the sight of his nakedness. He laughed at my modesty but said nothing more. He took my hand with an unfamiliar gentleness. He cut deeply into my hand, causing my face to tense with pain. He also opened his hand without flinching. I took some time to study the face of the man in front of me. To say he was ugly would be a lie. He had dark skin, a slight three-day beard, full lips, a straight nose, beautiful green eyes, his right eye was slashed, and his hair was dark. One could easily determine Spanish or Latin American origins.

He looked at me and held out his arm. I grabbed his hand with a grimace. The exchange of b***d was testimony to the pact that bound me to him.

– Alpha, I vow to obey and protect you no matter what the danger. I recited.

– Good! Ah ah ah! You’re so naive it’s almost adorable! Gard kills the kid. he ordered.

– No! You promised!!! I shouted.

I didn’t dare look behind me. I could hear the little redhead screaming and sobbing. A sinister creak interrupted her cries. The silence had become heavy and oppressive. How could I have ever believed his words? He was right, I’m so naive…

– Good! Now tell me your first name! he asked.

Aphrodite what a shitty name I’m sure he’ll laugh at…

*I think it’s rather pretty actually*.

What?! Oh no, he can read my mind too…

*Uh… yes, now that you’re part of my pack, I can read your mind*.

– What’s your name, are you deaf or something? That would be a handicap… Ugly and deaf…

The whole pack that had surrounded me laughed… I’m not going to let him do this to me, he deserves a good slap!

*Don’t even think about it, honey!

He pisses me off! I hate him.

*I know and give your name to my pack now*

– F**k you! I shout.

– That’s an order. he snapped.

– Aphrodite… My name is Aphrodite. I answered reluctantly.

– Good Aphrodite, now go forward and we’ll guide you. he declared.

He changed into a beautiful black and brown wolf. I started to do the same, when he interrupted.

– No, no, no, no, no. Walk like a human. Said the Alpha.

– What?! But it’s cold and…and you’ve all turned into wolves. I observed.

– But we’re not cowards or traitors. said the dark wolf.

– You forced me to join your pack! I squeaked.

– No, you could have refused. Anyway, this discussion is over. Walk! he ordered.

My body was walking by itself… It was a direct order, I couldn’t disobey. Hours passed, I stumbled more and more often and it started to snow. The trees all looked the same. I seemed to be going slower and slower. I was walking in the snow, very cold, with great difficulty, and my feet and hands had turned red… I had no strength left… Drawing on my last resources, I stumbled one last time, falling as if in slow motion. I knew I didn’t have the strength to reveal myself. Cain’s bloodline would surely let me die here, leaving me for dead… Didn’t I deserve this in the end? I waited until I hit the cold ground to disappear, but nothing happened… Instead of falling to the ground, I found myself in warm, firm arms… I lifted my head just long enough to catch a glimpse of his scarred eye. Then I sank into unconsciousness, still in his arms…Ares…why?

I woke up in a king-size bed with a huge headache… Shit…where was I?

I decided to get up, or at least I tried to, because arms were holding me down… The same arms that had held me yesterday, which meant… Oh no! I tried energetically to free myself from this embrace, but with my aphid-like strength I only succeeded in waking Ares…

– Mmh?…Who are you? he mumbled.

– What?!? You’ve forgotten me? I wondered.

– Yeah, I don’t remember the names of unimportant people… he growled as he drifted off to sleep.

– You’ve got to be kidding me. You’re the one who’s holding me in your arms and won’t let go… In fact, let me go! I demanded.

Ares tightened his grip…

– I never take orders! Do you understand? he growled.

Oh my God! It was the first time I’d slept this close to a guy… Too bad it was with a total jerk.

*Ravi*

Ah…I almost forgot. Don’t you have other people to mentally rape?

*No, others have no secrets…not from me. On that note, I’m going to take a shower*.

He stood up and untied me at last, walking to a door on the right… I detailed the room in front of me. There were only three potential exits: The door where Ares had gone, which was therefore a bathroom, the door in front of the bed, and the window behind the bed. To my dismay, I realized that the window could only be opened with a remote control or some other external mechanism. So I noiselessly made my way to the door in front of me to escape. I tried to open it without success. It was locked, and there was no other way out…

*Do you think I’m stupid? I’m offended…

So I’ve got no chance of escaping… I’ll just have to wait…

*wise decision*

In the meantime, I decided to freeze my mind and contact my she-wolf. It’s been a long time…

I appeared in mist…

– Juni! Juni! Juniper? Where are you? I called to my she-wolf.

No answer… I stepped into the fog and saw a light, so I approached and saw my she-wolf with a black wolf.

– Hi, this is Ajeco. said my wolf.

– Ajeco? Who’s Ajeco? I asked.

– My soul mate… it’s up to you to replace his human match. she said, rubbing up against the black wolf.

I looked more closely at the black wolf. His eyes were b***d-red… scary! But he commanded respect… Far away in the mist, I saw a human figure approaching dangerously close to me, so I decided to wake up in the normal world, if I may say so…
