I deliberately left out some torture scenes since I wanted then to be freshly revealed as the story progressed.
I was in the warrior pack house. The Full Moon pack had quite an impressive compound. The pack houses were scattered over several acres of land. Each group had their own houses or group of homes. There were training grounds, sports facilities and grocery shops, a school and even a hospital. It was like its own private town.
I had not seen the Alpha since he had commanded his men to take me away. I had been unsure what they wanted to do to me but they had taken me to see the pack doctor where my wounds were treated. I had been allowed to have a shower and a shave and now I was seated in the kitchen eating food proper food not the scrunchy crackers those teenage monsters had been feeding me. My wolf was purring.
So feminine mate. I laughed at him.
Whatever. He responded satisfied with our current situation.
I looked around me, the kitchen was massive and the place was clean. This pack was well organised and properly run. It begs to differ why the Alpha had a bitch of a daughter. She was a spawn of evil. I hoped to never see her again. Forever would be too soon to cross her path.
I finished my meal and someone collected my plate. I was lost as to what was next.
"Thank you." I said to the comely lady who had fed me.
"Good to see a fine young fella who can eat well." She said as she walked away.
A tall dark haired man came into the room. He was the same man who had seen my pack mark.
"I'm Ulric, Alpha Trent has told me to take you to him." I got off the stool and followed him quietly. We left the building and got into a black and white Land Rover. It was the Evoque model. It was pretty cool and manly. We drove for a few minutes and stopped in front of a larger house. It was a huge stone mansion and I guessed it was the Alpha's home.
I followed Ulric in silence as two guards let us in. I walked through a huge reception room which was elegantly furnished. He led me off to the left to the back of the house. Two guards were stationed outside two large doors. Each opened the doors and we entered. It was like a conference room with a huge table and chairs and lots of books and filing cabinets. The Alpha was sitting behind a huge oak desk. He looked so dominant. Beta Kragen was standing to his left. They both looked like fierce warriors.
"Have a sit." Alpha Trent instructed as I came to stand at his desk.
"Have you remembered anything?" he asked staring at me with piercing grey eyes.
"No sir." I responded.
"I have contacted your pack and they are sending someone to collect you." He informed me.
"My pack?" I asked a bit confused.
"Yes, you belong to the Thunder Shadow Pack. Although they live closer to the north, we are allies." I was happy that I was going home but why was I found so far away from my pack I thought.
"We do not know why you got separated from your pack and why you were found in my territory, hopefully when your memory returns we can solve this puzzle."
"Thank you Alpha Trent." I stated grateful to be ending this nightmare. My wolf growled in agreement.
"Ulric bring in Rebecca." Alpha Trent ordered. I froze that witch was coming in here. I wanted to throttle her but I had to rein in my anger.
"I understand how you must feel toward my daughter but I'm sure she acted as any warrior would do in the situation." Alpha Trent said noticing my scowl.
I said nothing as Cruella walked into the room. She was dressed like a Barbie doll. Pink was everywhere. Her green eyes sparkled and she walked into the room with a pout. Her face was melancholy and she looked positively frightened.
"Oh Daddy why did you bring me here?" she whined clutching a stuffed pink bear.
This girl was not serious! I fumed. I remained in my seat looking at the drama about to enfold.
"Oh Daddy I'm scared." She was saying rushing into her father's arms in mock fear.
"No need to be afraid, he will not hurt you." Her father cradled her in his arms.
She looked up at her father with huge eyes filled with unshed tears. "Are you sure he won't hurt me?"
Her father caressed her cheek. "I will always protect you my pumpkin."
"Oh Daddy, you are so brave, I wish I was big and brave like you." Cruella said softly nestling her face against her father's chest and giving him a hug.
I wanted to be sick. This girl should be performing at the West End, she was a brilliant actress.
I took a deep breath to calm myself and she flinched.
I stared at her in frustration and she cringed even more.
"He is angry Daddy." She whined some more and her father held her close.
"Boy, my daughter is clearly frightened of you and I guess that is why she kept you chained up. You should thank her for not killing you as her guards wanted. Be grateful that you are alive today because my daughter saved you."
"Saved me!" I hissed angrily and stood up. Ulric and Kragen were immediately at my side.
"Calm down boy!" Kragen said through clenched teeth. I relaxed, there was no point. This girl had her father twisted in knots. She had manipulated the situation to make her look like the victor. I shook my head and fisted my hands. Cruella flinched again.
"Bl**dy Hell girl!" I scoffed.
"He is being mean to me just like in that house!" she mumbled as crocodile tears dropped from her eyes.
"I gave him food Daddy, and water. I did not want him to die." She was fully sobbing and her father, the big and mighty Alpha was sucking it all in. I wanted to throttle the conniving little bitch.
"Ulric take Rebecca back to her room she is clearly distraught by his presence." The Alpha said giving his daughter a hug and a kiss on the forehead.
As if! My wolf yelled he was itching to come out.
We will get her! I promised my wolf as I watched the sobbing spawn leave the room. She maybe the daughter of an Alpha, but somehow I would get her. Once I got back to my pack I would plan her demise. The thought filled me with joy and I smiled.
"Take him back to the warrior house to wait for his escort." Alpha Trent was exiting the room to go to soothe his 'obviously traumatised' daughter.
She was a real piece of work, my saviour! Heck was she saving me when she claimed to be tending to my wounds and used antiseptic laced with silver. Each swab of the cotton wool on my lesions widened them even more. Her face had been alight with laughter and evil. I was going to get her. One day I was going to find some way to punish her for that week of torture she bestowed on me.
I was escorted to a room in the warrior pack house. I lay on the bed too angry to sleep. My wolf was also angry and he was restless. I needed to shift and ease my body from emotion. I got off the bed and went in search of someone.
"Blade." A guy around my age rushed over and enveloped me in a tight hug. My name was Blade.
"Oh man we thought you were dead!" he said in relief looking me over.
I stared at him in confusion, not remembering who he is.
"It's true then, you can't remember!" he laughed.
"Ralf will have a field day with this!" I looked at him in more amazement.
"Ralf?" I asked.
He clapped me on the back and I led him to the sofa.
"I'm Channon, your best friend and Ralf is also our friend." He volunteered.
"How did I get here?" I asked wanting to fill in the blanks.
"Man, it is long story!" he said sheepishly
"I want to know." I said firmly eager to learn something about me and how I got separated from my pack.
"You see we were travelling south to a youth convention. We were competing in different groups and you got separated from your group. When the alarm was sounded we looked everywhere for you but you were gone. We presumed the rogues seen in the area had kidnapped you since they had a grudge to settle." Channon finished. "Then The Full Moon pack was attacked by rogues soon after and so it confirmed that they were in the area but we could not find your scent anywhere.
"A grudge with me?" I asked puzzled. Some parts had fit but some were still hazy.
"Of course they had approached us in the town earlier in the week." Channon supplied. "How they captured you, we don't know but as our Alpha's son, and next in line to take over the pack, you were their prime target."
Now the drama begins to unravel....
His name is Blade and he is the next in line Alpha
Princess Rebecca was great wasn't she?
We will move to another POV in the coming chapters...
