Jason grabbed my father and very abruptly, which is why he let go of my wrist. The next moment my brother slammed him against the nearest wall and put his hand on his throat.
He hissed, "You certainly won't send your own daughter to that beast. You're a pathetic alpha if you can't resolve this matter normally."
Since he had found a good argument and I turned to the two. Jason's knee-jerk reaction had revived me, so the shock took a back seat.That's when I heard Lilia, my inner wolf, in my head: "Layla, kill that man. If he sends us to Alpha Blackmoon, we can never find our mate or be with him."
I had jumped in shock because I had been too much in reality. I had completely forgotten my wolf.
Lilia snapped at me, "Layla! Our mate! Action needs to be taken!"
oh mate
I hadn't thought that far, because all the new information was too much. But she was right, we could never have the perfect man by our side. With that, we were deprived of the possibility of eternal happiness with our soul mate.
At that thought, I let out a growl and said to Lilia, "Let me handle this." She cried out, "Kill that man!"
The trouble with wolves was that mate came first, so she really wanted to kill. She was sincere.
Thanks to the conversation with her, I hadn't heard the argument between my father and Jason. There was just a scuffle that was barely visible to my eye. They both acted at werewolf speed, making it impossible for me to see anything.
I automatically took a step back, only hearing when someone landed a hit.
Lilia yelled at me, "Move your ass and do something!"
Before I could react, Jason landed on his back and our dad was on top of him. Unfortunately, he was stronger until Jason took over as Alpha.
Both looked a bit battered from the fight and our dad gave him a deep growl. When he pulled out his wolf teeth, I was unstoppable.
It was practically suicide, but I would help my brother even if it killed me. I was about to storm off when my mum's voice thundered through the room, "What's going on here?!"
For how loudly we had argued, she came quite late. You had to have heard that from practically the whole house. It was a miracle that both of my sisters were absent. They were extremely curious and wanted to know practically everything.
She continued, "Elliot, will you let go of Jason. What's the matter with you guys?" That was very daring. Our dad couldn't physically hurt her since they were mates, but yeah, otherwise he could do whatever he wanted.
A miracle of the world happened because he actually let go of my brother and stood up. He wiped his shirt and then went to his desk. The man acted as if nothing had happened.
I rushed to my brother and knelt down next to him. He sat up meanwhile and looked very angry. A laceration could be seen on his forehead, which had already begun to heal. At least he didn't appear to have sustained any serious injury.
This time our mum asked a little calmer: "What happened?" Jason replied snidely, "Ask your mate that." I looked at him worriedly, wanting to start a medical exam, but the look on his face told me I was better off staying still.
Our father said coldly, "Marbella, that's none of your business."
Goddess, could he just utter that one sentence?It was all over my head, which is why I got up. My brother was definitely getting by and I was in dire need of some fresh air.
I looked at my sire and said decisively, "I'm not going." With that, I turned and headed for the door. I got the unperturbed reply: "You're going to go very well, otherwise countless humans and werewolves will die. Bitch, you don't have a choice anymore! Unless you're a cold-hearted bitch who wants to see my entire territory destroyed!"
I ran past my mum and she asked in horror, "Please what?"
I heard Jason yell outraged, "You're a pathetic being selling Layla! I'll make every single day of the rest of your life a living hell!"
I left the house quickly and slammed the front door behind me. I took a deep breath, feeling constrained. My world was upside down and I wanted to scream or cry.
It was pure emotional chaos in me, which is why I didn't know what to do. Somehow I couldn't show any real reaction.
I ran across the garden to the edge of the forest. I needed to transform, and urgently. That way I could at least let something out.
I ran a few steps into the forest and then I turned into my wolf. That's why it tore my clothes, but I didn't care. It didn't matter at that moment.
The familiar sound of my bones breaking was heard as I began to transition into my wolf form.
The first few transformations were incredibly painful, but it got less and less each time. It was bearable now and didn't cause me much pain. Maybe that was because I was used to a lot in general.
Living under one roof with my father for 20 years caused a lot of injuries. So I knew it well.
My white paws showed up shortly after and I started chasing immediately. I knew exactly where I was going, so I turned right.
The forest was as familiar as the back of my hand, so I took a shortcut and ran through the middle of the forest.
Lilia chimed in by saying, "Layla, there's no way we're going to this Blackmoon. Never. I want to find our mate, get married, and have my happy ending."
No, what she didn't say. This discussion was pointless at that moment and too much for me. But I could understand her urge to talk about it.
So I stayed calm and replied, "Neither do I. This beast usually does something to us. The rumors are no coincidence."
My paws flew across the forest floor, barely touching the ground. The faster I got to my destination, the better.
Lilia sighed and said: "I agree with you. There shouldn't be a more cruel man. We can't go there. That's a bottomless cheek and I will kill your father. After that, Jason is the Alpha and with Alpha Blackmoon he will be a better solution working out."
This plan was pure madness. We could never kill him, my father was too strong for that. He may be a universally hated alpha, but he had his followers as well. Loyal submissive dogs who served him and did whatever he wanted.
However, I had to bring her into reality before she built more castles in the air and got lost in this idea and was bitterly disappointed in the end. One of us had to stay rational and in that case I was the one.
" Lilia, please listen carefully and let me finish." The sweetheart was far too willing to interrupt when she was upset or upset. I had to clarify that beforehand.
She grumbled, which I took as a yes. I continued, "Jason and my mum are now arguing with him. So we'll see what the three come up with."
I just jumped over a small stream and easily without touching the water. After that, the sprint continued.
I also spotted a deer running away. They were afraid of us even though we never harmed them. But it was understandable, if I were a real wolf I would hunt it.
Surprisingly, Lilia remained silent, probably thinking about it. It was on my mind right now because otherwise we were an unbeatable team. Currently, that was a different case in our discussion.
I had to slow my run because a fallen tree came into my field of vision. It was a large tree that was not quite on the ground as it was being held up by another tree. At my height, it was easier if I crawled through the bottom.
I squeezed under it and then increased my speed again.
It was as if I was trying to escape the cruel reality with this run. However, that was pure nonsense.
Suddenly, a terrible realization hit me.
My father was never dissuaded from an idea or action. He did everything that came to his mind. According to him, the contract had long been signed. That meant I basically had no choice.
If Alpha Blackmoon really wanted to kill everyone and everything, then I had to go. A ruined life was better than countless people's.
My wolf seemed to have overheard my thoughts because she said angrily, "No, I'll never speak to you again if you do that. Never again!" To underline it, she isolated herself, which is why she was unreachable for me.
I didn't complain because it was pointless and I had to deal with my own thoughts. For that I needed rest, which my wolf could not give me.
I arrived at my destination and this was my best friend's home. Since I had often fled to him after a heated argument, whether with my father or one of my two sisters, I had stored my clothes here.They were hidden in a bush big enough for me to hide behind. Because of this, I was able to transform into my human form and have a privacy shield in front of me. I quickly found the trousers and shirt because they were still in the same place where I had left them. I quickly put on my jeans and then the shirt. I hadn't thought of socks, which is why I went barefoot, but I couldn't care less. I had a gigantic other problem. As I walked toward the house, I contacted my best friend through the Mindlink the whole pack was connected to."Finns? I hope you're home." I should have asked that beforehand. In desperation I had completely forgotten about it. I got the answer immediately: "Yes, of course." Apparently I'd managed to keep my voice steady because he didn't sound concerned.I don't kno
I had a very long conversation with Finns. First I told him every detail and then we went through everything possible.In the end we didn't come to a solution that would be helpful.So I had practically ordered him that we should enjoy the evening. If it was my last, I wanted it to be a good one. Nevertheless, this dark cloud had hung over us.I just got home and immediately rushed up the stairs, although I couldn't hear anyone. But if my father was here, I wanted to hide. My previous behavior certainly had an aftermath.I quickly entered my room and closed the door behind me. Only then did I turn on the light and with a sigh. At least I had made it here unscathed.I rolled over and really just wanted to go to bed and deal with this nightmare again tomorrow, but something caught my eye.There was something on my desk that didn't belong there.I walked towards it and it could never have escaped one's notice. It was a bright red piece of paper, presumably so that I would notice it.When
The next morning the rush called packing began. My mum had stayed with me, which was fine with me. If we never saw each other again, these were our final hours.I could barely open an eye, but no human or werewolf could sleep in my position.My head was far too confused, inside I was completely restless. That wasn't particularly surprising, after all, Lilia had also isolated herself. When your own wolf was so absent, you were missing a part.Ten thousand thoughts shot through my head, which is why I didn't have a really clear one. So I tried to concentrate on my current task.Packing was tedious and boring in itself, but a distraction nonetheless.My mum helped me and cleared her throat to get my attention. I looked at her questioningly and she said, "Then we'll find you something nice to wear."She was already rummaging through my closet for a suitable outfit and I just watched her. Basically, I didn't care what I wore.Maybe I got traded if the Alpha thought I was ugly. The idea was
The journey had gone on forever, the driver hadn't spoken to me. The radio wasn't even on. It was crazy.Whoever the man was, he had never introduced himself. He had a cool aura and I never looked at him. Just stare out the side window for hours. That was a really great job. My boredom knew no bounds.When we finally arrived I was so relieved. The driver remained silent and got out. Wonderful, the man was very friendly. An incredibly joyful soul. You had to meet such a nice person first.I got out the same way, grumbling. I was in pain all over and the ride had been torture.I stretched my legs and looked around. What the hell? This wasn't a house, more like an estate or a castle. Well, a powerful alpha had more money than anything else when he had a giant pack.At least I wouldn't starve here. A small consolation in the whole thing, you should try to see everything positively.Two employees approached me. A woman about my age. She had blond hair and brown eyes and looked very friendl
After that, the connection to Lilia was severed, but she too was restless. I couldn't have missed that.Mate? You weren't serious? Where? Or rather who? That was the purest nightmare. I had been sold and this is where I was supposed to meet my mate. My situation got worse instead of better.Hopefully Lilia was wrong and our mate wasn't around. It would be torture if I saw it every day but belonged to another man.Melody stayed with me in my room and helped me unpack. She said that was her job and she was very friendly. We got along pretty well, got to know each other and had a lot of laughs.Finally the question came: "I don't want to offend you, Layla. But why did you agree to this?"She mentioned earlier that Alpha Blackmoon didn't want a mate. This was apparently common knowledge. The man made no secret of it.I didn't even feel uncomfortable with the question, so I answered truthfully, "My father is an alpha from a smaller pack and there are some imbalances between them. Before my
It was a huge house, but I still remembered the way. To get to my room I just had to go into the left wing and the second door on the left. At least that's what I noticed.I hurried down the aisle, quickly wiping away another annoying tear running down my cheek.My mate and that had been our first meeting. Alpha Blackmoon didn't want me, even though I'd dreamed of my mate since I was a little girl. Now I got the cold-blooded man who didn't want me.Was that a bad joke?I didn't really start crying until I was in my room and the door slammed shut behind me.I sat on the floor and let the tears flow. My heart contracted, that was probably lovesickness and it was strong.It would be a cruel pain to be rejected by your mate. He would reject me and that made it a thousand times worse. A wonder he hadn't done it immediately.If I was lucky, I could go home afterwards. With bad luck I was killed or imprisoned. Don't expect too much from a beast.A sob escaped my lips and I clutched my heart.
Melody kept me company during dinner. She had told me about the castle and everything there was. The property was huge, there was a lot to see. For today I was banished to my room, but she promised to show me around soon.It seemed to be the beginning of a friendship. It would certainly do me good if I had at least one girlfriend. Otherwise I would be completely lonely.Melody was assigned to me anyway, so we would see each other more often. It was an advantage that she was very friendly and helpful. That should make it easier for me.I didn't want to envy the alpha, so I stayed in the room as he instructed.I had just said goodbye to Melody and closed the door behind her.My first step was to grab my cell phone and there were a few messages listed from the Finns. Apparently he had been worried for a long time. So I decided to call him.As the bell rang I threw myself onto my huge bed and it was as comfortable as it looked. It must have been bloody expensive, but that's what everythin
I was like a pillar of salt, I hate to admit it, but I was terrified of him. I did my best to cover it up and tried to suppress the feeling.However, Alpha Blackmoon sure could smell my fear. Werewolves and their sensitive noses. Sometimes a curse could do that, which wasn't always ideal.The fact that I was his mate changed everything. After all, I was the one person on this planet he hated the most and wanted the least. My fear was rational.I pulled myself together, cleared my throat and asked politely, "How can I help?" My voice was at a normal volume and firm. It was questionable how I had managed that.He looked quite angry and asked, "Who was that? What man are you talking to so happily?" Thanks to this question I had my answer. He had heard Finn's.Was Alpha Blackmoon jealous? That was hard to imagine.Well, but it would be kind of understandable, he bought me, I was his. However, he didn't want me. So it was absolutely none of his business who I talked to.Still, I gave him a
