Contracted to the wrong Alpha
Chapter 10
****
Lilia’s Pov
Lee cackled at me in fear, letting off a low whimper and I shook my head in disapproval.
My mum broke down in tears and my father held her for support, all I saw was a smirk on Felix’s face and smug grin on Tessy. She couldn’t even pretend she was my friend!!
“I have spoken as the Pack’s Priestess of Midnight Shade!” She uttered and it sank down deep into my soul in realization, making my teeth clatter as hot fear washed over me.
She’s the Pack Priestess! That should explain the authority she wields and the aura she carries. No wonder she was never available at home. I’ll always wonder how Tessy’s dad cooks so great and prepares delicious Pizza but I never got to see his wife. Tessy would always tell me it’s work and I’ll shrug it off as long as her father’s delicious meals tasted spicy and tantalizing.
Right now, she was going to watch me get punished because of something I didn’t mean to do.
I might not be a member of Midnight Shade but I’ve heard the rumors about the confinement room. The Pack was very discreet about all their dealings and Identities, taking over in the Finance world and fighting off wars that challenged them.
I had asked my father about Midnight Shade and what makes them so unique and powerful among other Werewolves and he would tell me they don’t share their secrets, that’s their power but the confinement room was a place that even a five year old pup knows.
It’s where you get to shift in your wolf form as punishment all in a secluded dark rocky room with dangerous insects without food or water. Your wolf gets to adapt to the darkness and prays to the moon goddess for forgiveness to have a glimpse of a little light as the darkness alone could kill, not even the wolf abilities we have could help. Our sights might be sharp but it’s useless in the confinement room.
It’s scary with darkness, hot sting of unknown creatures and hunger and thirst which would scar anyone dry. It was a place that reminded someone never to repeat such a crime again but in my case, I’ll not live.
“The Sacred room of confinement is too much! Please, take her anywhere but not there please, I beg you!” My mum’s loud cry filled the air but it seems she was the only one affected. In Fact aside from the White Crisps members who looked remorseful, others didn’t give a damn.
“That’s the discipline of Midnight Shade and don’t question the authority of the Priestess! Even her father, Tyson Conor understands that.” A man spat out from the crowd and I trembled greatly, crouching down to my knees in tears.
“I can’t survive there, please!” I quaked in tears and dropped my dignity to look at Felix.
“Please you know I can’t survive in there.” I whispered in fear and he tore his gaze from me. I searched around for Lex but he wasn’t here which made me break down in sobs.
“It’s a minimal punishment Lily, It’s your wolf that feels the pain and not you. You brought this on yourself, wind up with it and get things right ” He said so softly as if he cared and I growled in anger.
Fucking bastard!
He didn’t give a damn about me, I needed Lex.
I don’t know what I’ll do but he’s the Alpha with supreme Authority. He could go against her order.
I can’t go in there, my wolf would die.
It’s the secret I’m trying so hard to keep till I get married at least.
I can’t shift as I was struck with a curse in my pack not to ever shift or have the ability to smell since I lost my dignity.
Once I enter that room and stay for a day, Lee will die and I’ll be a wolfless rogue.
It’s already too bad that I’m a lone wolf. I won’t lose Lee, no matter what happens.
“Take her away!” She ordered and I raised my hands.
“I want to speak with Lex!” I begged desperately and she snorted.
“You have no right to see the Alpha until you’re out of the confinement room”
“Please!!!” I yelled, shaking , feeling my lungs at my throat as I didn’t know how to cry anymore.
“I just want to speak with him and I’ll go.” I begged with desperation and a heartbreaking sob escaped my throat when she shook her head.
“Lex please, if you’re here just fucking come out. Please” I writhed in agony, yelling his name. Perhaps he listened to me and used his authority.
“I can’t be in that room! Just hear me out Lex!” I growled out in pain and the crowd looked around waiting for him to suffice.
I know he can call off that order, I offended him and not the Pack’s Priestess nor the Moon goddess.
He could come up with some punishment for me and not that room. Lee won’t take it, I know.
I know how she suffered when she lost her sense of smell, Fuck! She cried and shut me out from hearing her for months leaving me alone.
I can’t be woofless, it would be worse than death itself. I don’t care what I look like right now but I’ll save my shame for another day once I’m not taken to that place.
My mum wept bitterly, I might not die but she knows I’ll lose the last ability left in me to be among the pack members without being castigated as a rogue. Automatically, I’m already a disgrace to White Crisp Pack so how would I live when I don’t have my wolf in such a powerful Pack.
I felt Lee curled up in worry when Lex didn’t show up.
“Let’s do this Lilia and show that Bastard some lessons. I’ll survive, stop worrying about me”
She said and I only wept bitterly, she won’t survive it. I know it badly. She’s strong but not in such a darkness we haven’t experienced before.
“We know you’re a drama queen bitch but can you stop increasing your punishment by yelling the Alpha’s name like that? You might be disqualified for being his Luna!” Tessy scolded loudly to the hearing of everyone and I snapped.
Letting go of my wolf which took over and rushed to her with a force I never thought existed in me to give a disfiguring slap with the slash Mark on her face.
“Shut the fuck up!” I fired heavily at her and she yelled, getting her mother’s attention whose eyes blazed with Fury.
“Stop acting so perfect Lilia, you and I know that you will never have the Alpha no matter how you try. I got Felix from you, someone will get Lex because you will always be the rejected castigated rogue of White Crisp Pack to exist and New York celebrity Slut!” She said every word with vigor which was like a sharp knife slicing my heart and bone walls open as blood dripped her face.
“Were you ever a friend?” I asked her bitterly and she scoffed.
“I was, until you started taking my spotlight. Right now, I hope you perish in darkness with your cursed wolf.”
Fuckkk!!
I yelled out to hit her again but something loud and painful hit me, crashing me to the ground and splitting my head in tiny pins of pain.
“Take her away already!” Her mother yelled and I was dragged from the scene, feeling cold liquid seeping down my head.
Just when I let the harshness of the cold treatment sink into me, I raised my head to crane my neck when I saw him by the window, standing with the midnight Sin I saw at the airport.
Staring down at me.
