The Alpha’s Rejected And Broken Mate -
Chapter 81
Amber POV
care.
I was running through the forest in my wolf form when I came upon two children running away from another shifter, although this one was a rogue. I pounced on the rogue just before it could tackle the little girl to the ground, pinning it down and growling. The little girl, with messy blonde hair, and her friend or brother, who had the same sort of facial features, continued to run as I backed away from the rogue with its glowing red eyes and snarl on its face. I had the feeling the rogue was none too happy with me but I didn't "Run Cory" I could hear the little girl's voice behind me, shrieking and I was distracted for a moment, the other wolf trying to take the opportunity to tackle me to the ground, slashing and clawing away. I gave a small hiss as his claws made contact with me, causing a large gash on my side. I got to my feet and backed away slowly, dodging to the side as it went to tackle me again. I turned and ran, in the opposite direction of the children, leading the rogue away from them. It followed me, its paws thudding loudly behind me as I continued to sprint, wanting as much distance between the rogue and the children as possible. God willing, when this was all over, I would go back and replace the children safe from harm.
I heard a low growl in front of me and stopped short, another rogue coming out from behind the trees. It jumped and I met it in mid-air, tackling it to the ground and clawing rapidly at it, causing it to yelp as several long gashes formed on it's hindquarters. The wolf behind me jumped and rolled me to the ground, biting down on my neck as I kicked out and sent it flying into the nearest tree, it's body hitting the trunk of it with a large thud. It fell to the ground snarling and I warily looked back and forth between the two. We can take them, we just need to be more cautious of them attacking together.
I'm trying to be but rogues are not exactly the easiest to take down Lilac
I know child, so be careful. Don't forget about the children back there, we need to keep them safe as well.
At least the rogue's not chasing them anymore, with luck they might manage to make it to the next pack. We can only hope so child.
I began to run again, dodging past trees and fallen branches, the other wolves struggling to keep up with my speed. As I ran, I healed the gash in my side, the blood from it, staining my pure white fur. Then I skidded to a complete halt, as several other wolves came out of the woods, all rogues, all growling lowly at me. I could maybe take out two or three, but there was at least a half a dozen or more. I was a goner and even Lilac was silent now, apprehensive and fully aware of the danger we were in.
I sensed an Alpha and turned my head, to see one of the biggest men I'd ever seen, step out from a cave, his lips curled back in a smile as he spotted me. He looked like he couldn't believe his luck.
"A white wolf" he chortled, "and just the one we were going to go after, no less. Can you believe it" he cried out to the other wolves, who all stepped around each other to form a circle around me. I tensed, waiting for the inevitable, but it didn't come. None of them were attacking for some strange reason.
"Shift," the Alpha said looking tired and drained. I wondered about the paleness of his complexion. The man looked like a Viking, with his shaggy hair and beard, not to mention the tallness of his body.
I hesitated. He hadn't used his alpha tone, but then he didn't really need to, did he? Not when I was surrounded by his companions, who all looked at me eagerly, looking more than ready to fight if it came down to that. I wasn't pleased but I felt like I had no choice and while they all watched, I shifted, into my naked form, standing there shivering. I glared up at the Alpha Rogue who looked unrepentant.
"So you're the white wolf" he boomed "we've been watching you, waiting to take you and instead you come running straight to us."
He frowned and glared at the other wolves who were staring wildly at me with their glowing red eyes.
"Back off" he snapped, motioning to them.
Several wolves did as he asked, while another one shifted into a male form, a man with blonde dreadlocks and a beard, who looked like someone who enjoyed surfing, rather than being a rogue. It was not something I'd expected to see and judging by the way he strode straight towards the Alpha Rogue, he was his right-hand man because he didn't seem to fear the Alpha at all. "Alpha Gordon," said the man "what would you have us do with her?" he asked.
The man stroked his beard. "Place her in the cave as well. She might need some influencing to do what I require of her" he added as I glared at them both hatefully. Part of me considered making a run for it, but glancing around, the rogues were still in eyesight and I wasn't about to test their patience.
f**k, Lilac what do you suppose he wants with us?
I don't know but do you sense something strange about this alpha? Try and smell him and you'll see what I mean. Maybe that's the reason he's so desperate to have us. We mustn't do it though child, no matter what. Do you hear me? We cannot give in to his demands. It would make him far more dangerous than he already is.
I stopped speaking to Lilac and concentrated, sniffing towards Alpha Gordon who was muttering something to this other fellow, and blinked in confusion. Why couldn't I sense his wolf? I could sense his aura and he was most definitely an Alpha but there was no wolf to be had. Is this why he needed me? Because of the power, I contained to bring his wolf to the surface. Lilac w as right, if I did that this man would be even more dangerous and there was no telling that he would let go of me afterward.
I heard yelling and screaming behind me and glanced over my shoulder, disheartened to see the two little children I'd tried so desperately to save, in a rogue's grasp as they kicked and struggled.
"Let go" the little girl was screaming, her face all bunched up. The little boy was kicking for all he was worth and frantically trying to reach for his sister's hand.
"Carrie" he was yelling and it broke my heart to hear them, let alone see both children being handled so roughly.
"Let them go" I snarled and Alpha Gordon laughed at the angry expression on my face.
"Or what?" he mocked me. "Something tells me that having these children would be a benefit on my part, especially if you refuse to do what I want" he added.
I felt something sting my leg and looked down to see a dart embedded in my thigh. My mouth opened and closed in shock. I couldn't believe it but his crony had shot me with a tranquilizer dart! Alpha Gordon looked annoyed as he glared at the surfer dude. "Jordan, that wasn't necessary you i***t" he growled, "now I'll have to wait for the little b***h to wake up to do what I want." Jordan just shrugged, not looking sorry at all. So much for being afraid of the alpha, I thought to myself woozily, these two were like frenemies.
"It's only for a short time," Jordan said shortly "and the little b***h gave me what for earlier and injured me."
Alpha Gordon rolled his eyes. "You could have gotten her to heal you dumbass" he pointed out.
Now Jordan looked frustrated. He clearly hadn't thought about that.
"What do you want with me" I stammered, staggering slightly where I stood. The rogue holding the boy and girl disappeared into the cave, their screams and yelling slowly fading away. "Isn't it obvious?" asked Alpha Gordon with a smirk "I want you to give me my wolf, my dear."
I shook my head at him, feeling woozy. "I won't do it" I mumbled, my mouth feeling dry like cotton balls. "You're evil."
He walked closer to me as I dropped to one knee on the ground, trying desperately to keep myself upright. There was a knowing smile on the bastard's face.
"You won't have a choice," he said softly, bending to speak into my ear as I shuddered at the feeling of his breath, "not if you want to save those two children" he threatened.
I felt nauseous, unable to speak to Lilac. I'd been dosed with wolfsbane, I realized in horror, which explained the sedating effects and not being able to communicate with my wolf. My other knee fell to the ground so that I was kneeling and Alpha Gordon reached forward and grabbed a lock of my hair, twining it around his finger and forcing my face upwards to look at him.
"You know" he mused, "You're rather pretty with that red hair and green eyes of yours. I imagine you are quite fierce and proud as well" he added.
I shivered. I didn't like him calling me pretty. I would rather, he thought I was ugly. He leaned down and still using my hair to hold my head in place, mashed his lips against mine as I struggled with futility against him. His lips were rough, course and he plundered the inside of mine without mercy as I gagged. It felt like a lifetime as he kissed me, my body growing weaker by the moment until finally, he pulled back and surveyed me. "You tasted delicious" he purred motioning towards Jordan who moved to scoop me up in his
arms.
I tried to kick, to punch, but it was hopeless. The wolfsbane had well and truly taken effect. I felt helpless and vulnerable, carried in Jordan's surprisingly strong arms. "Take her to the cave and tie her up" boomed Alpha Gordon "and make sure that she can't get away."
The cave was dark as we entered and I blinked my eyes as they became accustomed to the darkness. Up ahead I could hear the children sobbing as we walked, Jordan not saying a word. We rounded a corner and Jordan stopped in his tracks as my eyes widened in disbelief. Ahead of us, chained to some bolts in the wall, was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. He wasn't a shifter, for I couldn't smell a wolf with him, but he was glorious to behold. Slightly pale, with brown auburn hair and dark brown eyes that were almost black. He also smelt incredible, like apples and cinnamon, my favorite dessert being apple pie. I sniffed appreciatively and watched the man's eyes suddenly widen as he took me in, his eyes suddenly a blazing red color.
Jordan placed me down next to the man who began to tug rather wildly at the chains holding him in place.
"Cut it out" snarled Jordan "christ, what's gotten into you" he snapped, shaking his head.
I knew what had come over him because I had the same feeling as I stared at the man who was chained. It physically hurt to look at him tied up and I would have done anything to free him if I hadn't been drugged and useless. The man's mouth opened and he let out a ferocious growl, that echoed throughout the cave.
Jordan proceeded to tie me up to some more bolts in the cave, restraining my hands and ankles together. I tried to resist, but couldn't move in the end and was forced to concede. He kicked me, hard in the ribs, eliciting a gasp from me and another low growl from the man, which I had just realized was a vampire of all things.
"Do that to her again and you're a dead man" he hissed at Jordan who looked confused.
"Why do you care" he snapped.
Don't my eyes begged the man, don't tell him that we're mates, he'll only replace a way to use it against us. The man's mouth opened and I cringed but he closed it, having seen the warning look in my eyes. My eyelids began to flutter and I lay down on the ground, unable to move far, feeling incredibly weak. The man looked down at me with a grim expression on his face as my eyes finally closed, the sound of the children weeping the last thing I heard before darkness claimed me.
