Hades touched his neck where the skin had regenerated, but it was still tender. He growled, bristling the skin of those present.
Cesar closed his briefcase after taking care of his alpha for two days while Leoxi had returned as soon as he felt a strange sensation that did not give him a good feeling and when his suspicions arrived they gave birth.
Now, Hades was in a really, really bad mood. He had been bitten by an omega, a simple omega, queen and whatever they wanted, but omega and had been on the verge of death, after saving her.
Some things had to be put in their place and show who was boss. Fuck that I was scared of alphas. He had saved her life. Adopted to her pack. He gave her his own blood and paid him that way.
He sat up, putting on the silk shirt he found on the back of a chair, leaving it open.
-Where do you think you’re going?- Cesar stood in front of him and fell silent when he saw the alpha’s eyes. He swallowed hard and stepped out of the way.
Hades, known as the benevolent, only until he was attacked, or someone close. Siran had learned to behave like that not exactly out of the air.
Leoxi followed him without saying a word. He knew that right now his brother was in full alpha mode and anything that bothered him was dead prey.
They stopped in front of the door where the wolf was. Two guards plus his beta were there and greeted him.
Siran was shocked to see his alpha there and so … out of the ordinary. He had not worried about his image which he always carried intact. His black hair was loose and tousled in waves that had run behind his shoulder. Wide trousers, unbuttoned shirt, no shoes and his gaze fixed on the door like someone waiting for a sandwich behind an obstacle.
-Alpha. We have kept the attack on you a secret. The cubs are confined to their rooms with guards. The gray pack beta was imprisoned along with his people and they are being supervised-
-Has she returned to her human form yet?- He asked dryly.
Siran thought he hadn’t heard the little report, but he knew his alpha trusted him enough to deal with the situation.
-Not my alpha. She has been reluctant since that day. She maintains her wolf form. We have not given her water or food, and we hoped that with his weakness she would collapse, but she is a tough nut to crack-
Hades strode to the door and grabbed the handle unlocking the latch, which barely budged. The door had lost stability and the frame was unbalanced by the constant knocks.
-Be careful alpha- one of the guards warned him- This wolf is just as aggressive as before-
Hades just glanced at him and the man fell silent walking backwards. The alpha stretched out to his full five feet and opened the door by entering and closing it behind him without a lock.
He swallowed a groan. The room was literally in ruins. The ruined bed, the sheets everywhere splattered with drops of blood. Furniture bitten and other scratched. The window curtains all ripped and the nail marks on the glass were evident.
To one side was a thin ball of hair that turned her back. She seemed to sleep soundly amid the mess of the fabric. He could see how her legs had recent wounds that adorned his body apart from the ones he already possessed.
He took another step without showing any expression. The wolf’s ears gently lifted to make way for the head that turned toward him. Two reddened orbs were trying to look at him.
The wolf raised with difficulty and faced him, showing her fangs and bristling the hair on her back. The fins of her nose moved up and down as if trying to assimilate the smell of everything around her to know what was happening.
Hades didn’t move. The wolf had lost all control over her and she only acted on instinct, he had to be careful.
He took a step forward intimidating her both by his size as well as his scent, but that only had the opposite effect.
The wolf gripped even more annoyed. Her legs were tense in an attempt to maintain her weight which was working against her causing her to stagger sideways.
The alpha gently removed his shirt, letting it fall to the ground. He had seen how fast she was, he couldn’t risk making sudden movements, no, if he didn’t want the blood to flow, it wasn’t his goal to kill her, not after everything that happened. Besides the smell that she gave off now was disturbing him. It was soft, sweet, he liked it.
He unzipped the button on his pants and pulled the zipper down to let the garment accompany the other. The wolf backed away, growling, misinterpreting the action. A werewolf in front of her and alpha, naked, could only interpret it one way.
Hades let a thick layer of black hair cover his body until he was on all fours in his wolf form that was more than half her size.
He growled. Loud, loud, it rumbled across the room. The wolf lowered her ears and tucked her tail between her legs, but without hiding her teeth. She was scared but would not stop fighting. Hades had stepped between her and the door so getting out would be a feat.
The black wolf approached slowly, but without hesitation. She began to back away involuntarily. The survival instinct was greater than any. She stopped short and when he was at a safe distance she took a bite back at his throat. Action that he narrowly dodged and in response snarled at her, drawing his huge fangs against her snout, hitting her and making her retreat.
The alpha’s eyes were bright and menacing, his hair was standing on end, making him appear larger, and his breath was blowing smoke from his snout.
She couldn’t do anything when he surrounded her. Her legs gave way and she fell to the ground on her belly, feeling how he then got on top of her and dropped, keeping her against the ground with his weight. His strong heartbeat rumbled in her back and she felt so small with that beast on her body. The heat on her shook her and despite wanting to bite him, tear some member that she could not reach because he was holding her tight, only a slight plaintive moan came out of her throat. The haze in his sight began to fade. The red iris became lighter.
Still she wriggled under the alpha uncomfortable and terrified by his touch.
The wolf for the first time felt real fear in her life. A different fear than Rudoc had of him. This one was more raw, more demanding, more animal.
He demanded their absolute submission.
