Linnea POV
I didn’t like the odds and my heart sank.Whatever was left of our army looked to my father for orders.My middle-aged father seemed to age twenty years in an instant as the shock seemed to be hitting him hard.“If we surrender, can you guarantee everyone's safety?” He said with a hoarse voice. “Including Linnea, who is now your wife?”“Dad no!” I cried. “Don’t give in to him!”Alpha Harald smirked.“I have the upper hand now, why should I negotiate with you?” He sneered. “And do you think I’d spare this little beauty?”“Then I have no other choice.”A quick nod from my father, and everything turned to chaos.The small part of the people still loyal to us were quickly gunned down, the sound of the bullets making my ears hurt.I winced at the sound and covered my head to protect myself when I felt a bullet zoom past me, hitting a chair next to me.When I saw my father being attacked by four at the same time, I lifted the dress and started running to him, but I felt someone tug at my arm.I turned around and saw Wanda pulling me away.“Come with me.” She whispered.“But dad…” I protested.Wanda turned around and looked at me.“I’m sorry, Linnea.” She said. “But I need to get you out of here before they get to you.”I still struggled against her grip.“I can’t leave them.” I whimpered.Wanda took both my hands in hers and looked at me sharply.“You can and you will.” She said sternly. “Who will avenge them if you’re dead yourself? Who will save this pack from Alpha Harald if you are not around to do it.”Before I could reply, she turned around and dragged me with her.This time, I didn’t stop her.Wanda pulled me into the chapel’s confessional and opened a trap door.We got inside and closed it before running through the tunnels underneath the church.The smell of damp mud made me scrunch my face up as we ran through the darkness. A streak of light grew closer and I sighed a breath of relief when we reached the end of the tunnels and emerged in the forest on the west side of the pack territory.Wanda frowned at my wedding dress and started to take off her clothes.“You stick out too much. You need to blend in.” She said as she handed me her shirt. “You need to put these on and go to the city of Malmö. It’s not too far from here and they won’t find you there.”“No.” I said. “We go together! I’m not leaving you here.”Wanda cupped my face.“I can’t go princess.” She smiled softly at me. “I need to cover your tracks. If I use the dress, I can make it look like you’ve died.”When I had finished changing, Wanda held up a large piece of charcoal.“We need to do something about that hair.” She muttered.I let out my hair and Wanda rubbed the charcoal on it to make it look darker. When she was finished, I put my hair up in a bun with a scrunchie that she gave me.“Promise me that you’ll be okay.” I cried and hugged Wanda tightly.“I promise.” She whispered. “Now go, princess. Survive. May the Goddess be with you.”With that, she shifted into a small brown wolf and ran towards the packhouse, leaving me in the forest by myself.I started running through the forest, not knowing that I was running towards a new danger I never could have seen coming,I ran until I crossed the pack border and continued until I found myself in the Malmö suburbs.Stoppning at the sidewalk to catch my breath, I glanced around to make sure no one was watching me.I plucked out some twigs from my hair and dusted off some of the mud from the jeans I was wearing.It took another hour of walking until I reached the bustling parts of downtown.The city was home not only to werewolves, but several other supernatural creatures. Vampires, witches and faes were very common. The only times I went to Malmö was to visit the Emporia shopping center, but other than that, I didn’t really know my way around.For the rest of the day, I wandered about the city, unsure what to do next. Somehow I hoped an opportunity would just magically show up in front of me.Glancing at the sky, I saw that it had started to get dark.I saw a group of guys walking together further down the sidewalk. They were carrying a pizza box with them. The smell made my mouth water. I hadn’t eaten all day and my breakfast had been very light since I was too nervous to actually eat anything.Now I cursed myself for not eating. In my defense, I didn’t think that my wedding would turn into a massacre and that I would be starving on the streets.Fortunately for me, I saw the guys toss the pizza box in front of an apartment building and I quickly walked past them. When they had disappeared out of sight, I quickly picked up the box and said a small prayer before looking inside.There were two slices left and I did my best to fight the urge to gobble them down in one go.I strolled down the street, nibbling on one of the slices until I spotted an alley.Maybe I could sit there and eat by myself.The first day on the run, and I was already tired of looking over my shoulder.I just wanted to hide somewhere where I could relax.When I walked into the alley, I quickly found it blocked by two men. They were both wearing black sleeveless vests. One of them had purple combed hair, showing off a row of earrings and studs in his right ear. I nearly bumped into him trying to get past them.I quickly excused myself.“Aren’t you a polite one?” He sneered.I turned around to walk away, but found the other one blocking my way. He was dressed in the exact same way, but with short, blonde hair.“Go away.” I snarled.“This little cutie has a big temper, doesn’t she?” Another man with a bald head and a scar on most of the right part of his face said, startling me. “Let’s help you cure your bad temper.”When they approached me, I threw the pizza box at them.“Don’t come any closer! I’m warning you.”I tried to keep calm, but fear crept into my confident facade and made my voice come out as a squeak.“Warning? By what? Your super pizza box?” The purple haired man sneered.I backed away and gasped when my back pressed against the cold wall. I was trapped with the three men closing in on me.Just when I was thinking about whether to shift and bite off one of the arteries or kick someone in the balls, a man wearing a striped suit and single-frame glasses suddenly appeared."Stop it!”All three of them miraculously froze in place.Linnea POV"Stop it! You idiots!"What just happened? My tense muscles suddenly relaxed."How many times do I have to tell you? Virgins are the top prize!" The man in the suit grumbled.His enormous hand smacked the back of the one closest to him so hard he almost stumbled."Get her inside, what are you standing around for?" The man in the suit scolded. "Hurry up! Just be careful with her face; we don't want to affect the price I'll get at the auction later!"Auction?What the hell was he talking about?"Yes, Boss." The three guys who were just acting tough moments ago suddenly became submissive. I woke up from my shock and tried to push past them, but one of them grabbed me by the neck and pinned me to the wall.I gasped when the other one slipped a silver collar around my neck, effectively subduing my wolf.They grabbed my arms and pulled me to a large iron door that I hadn’t noticed. The third opened and I was pulled into a dark hallway. The door slammed shut behind me and I fli
Linnea POVThe grip on my arm was so harsh that I was paralyzed. My heart was beating wildly in my chest and I felt like throwing up. We came to an abrupt stop and a cuff was placed around my ankle.The handcuffs came off and the blindfold was yanked from my eyes. I rubbed my aching wrists and looked around.The ankle cuff was connected to a chain bolted to the floor. I was standing on a dark stage.A sharp light was directed towards me. I squinted and held up a hand in front of my face to keep myself from being blinded. From the sounds coming from behind the light, I guessed that there was an audience on the other side. I pulled on the chains, but they wouldn’t budge. “Ladies and gentlemen.” I heard a voice say. “Next up, we have the precious of the day. A virgin werewolf girl. Look at that pretty face. Bring her home to serve you from kitchen to bed!”I crowned. "In your dreams." I muttered.“And we’ve placed a special collar to lock her werewolf power up, so dont worry, she wo
A few hours earlier.Alessandro POV. “I’ll give you one last chance.” I said, screwing a silencer onto my gun. “Where are the weapons?”The man in front of me coughed out some blood.”I don’t know.” He wheezed.I rolled my eyes.Of course I didn’t believe him.The sorry excuse of a man in front of me was one of Viper’s closest men. I was sure that he would have the information I wanted.I pulled out the knife stuck in his hand and he howled in pain. “Last chance.” I said.“Go fuck yourself, Costa.” The man spat. “I hope you never find your precious weapons.”I smirked and fired my gun.A bullet shot out of the barrel and pierced the man’s forehead. His head flew back from the force and blood splattered on the plastic covered wall behind him.“Still nothing.” I sighed and wiped my hands on a towel.“Bring me another one.” I ordered before walking back to my office.Harley, my Beta, tossed a file on my desk. “They’re all gone.” He exasperated. “Five million Euros worth of guns and th
Cecilia (Linnea) POVI guess I had officially given up my old name. From now on, I will be Cecilia. When we reached the car, my buyer held out a pair of handcuffs. I looked over at Olivia briefly, feeling uncomfortable. If I actually struggled here and managed to escape, where would I go?I couldn't answer that question, and I figured that this rich, influential man that just spent a million Euros on me would maybe be interested in helping me if I played my cards right. So I offered him my wrists and he secured them with the handcuffs before opening the back door to the car and pushing me inside.He sat down beside me while the guy who I assumed was his right hand, pushed Olivia into the passenger seat.We drove off and I breathed deeply to ease that sinking feeling in my stomach.I had no idea where we were going and I was starting to freak out a little bit.I glanced over on the man who just bought us and realized that I didn’t know his name.“Excuse me.” I whispered.He smiled
Alessandro POVCecilia turned around in shock and quickly covered her eyes with her hands. “Remove your hands.” I ordered. Her arms fell to her sides and I saw her eyes trail down my body until she jerked her gaze up to meet my eyes again.“You-You want me to get in there with you?” She asked hesitantly. I nodded and gestured for her to get in. “You still smell of that auction house.” I explained. “I want you to take a bath too.”Cecilia opened her mouth to protest, and quickly closed it again before she pursed her lips and fidgeted with the strap of her dress. “Come on.” I grumbled impatiently. “The water will get cold before you’re finished.”Cecilia gritted her teeth and pulled the straps down on the dress, revealing her perky breasts. The dress fell to the floor and I was right. She was wearing nothing underneath it. Her hands flew up to cover herself, but I glared at her. “Arms to your sides.” I let my eyes roam her body, from her tits to her flat stomach down to her hip
Wanda POVThe Omegas were huddled together in a corner of the yard, holding their crying children in their arms. “Shut up!” One of the Red Rock warriors shouted and aimed a rifle at a woman who tried to soothe her crying baby. “Hey!” I shouted and placed myself in front of the barrel. “Hurting women and children is a coward’s move.”“Move bitch.” The warrior growled. My heart pounded in my ears, but I remained standing with the barrel pressed to my chest. “Name and rank?”I recognized the voice instantly and my blood boiled. It was Alpha Harald. The warrior lowered his gun and took a step back when Alpha Harald pushed past him. “Wanda Nordin, Omega rank,” I replied and glued my eyes to the ground. I wanted to punch the guy in the face, but I needed to protect my Omegas. My pride was a small sacrifice for their well-being. “Wanda.” Alpha Harald said. ”I trust that you can hold your people in check.”I nodded.”I can Alpha.” I replied. ”May I make a request?”I looked up and he
Alessandro POVI was surprised to see her in those clothes. Her long legs were on full display under that leather skirt and the tight red shirt revealed a lot of cleavage.I resisted the urge to look down on her beautiful tits as she tilted her head back when I walked up to her. “I think it’s time we had a chat,” I said. Cecilia gulped. “I don’t know what you want from me, Alpha.” She said quietly. “I told you already.”I smirked. “You did, but I don’t believe a single word of it.” I retorted.I entangled my fingers in her hair and pulled her head further back. “I’ll give you one last chance,” I whispered. “Who are you?”Cecilia blinked at me. “I-I’m an Omega that was sold to the auction house.” She whispered.“And your hair?” I asked. “Covered in soot from the fireplace.” She replied. “I slept there when the nights were cold.”I narrowed my eyes. “And the mark?” I asked. Cecilia closed her eyes. “Marked by force.” She whispered. “He doesn’t really want me.”I frowned.“Is t
Cecilia POVMy heart pounded in my chest and my mouth went dry. For a moment, I just froze and stared at him. An image of the warrior in the basement with cuts and bruises all over his body flashed before my eyes. "A-are y-you going to hurt me?" I squeaked. "Like the warrior in the basement?" Alessandro chuckled."You and I are going to have a lot more fun than he had. But yes, it will probably hurt a little."”I don’t understand what you want from me.” I was exasperated. “I already told you everything!”“And I don’t believe you,” Alessandro growled. “Therefore I will do anything I want with you to make sure that I can trust you.”Goddess, why did that sound so sexy? “You bought me.” I retorted and crossed my arms over my chest. “You can do anything you want anyways.”Alessandro smirked at me.“You’re right.” He whispered. “I can do anything I want. And I want to make you sing.”I frowned.“I’m not much of a singer,” I said sheepishly.He chuckled.“You sang so beautifully in the
