Contracted to the Wrong Alpha
Chapter 49
Lilia pov
The air became tense and cackled with disbelief, and panic took over me that all I did was wince for air and hit my chest in pain.
I’m a rogue.
A cursed white one that stupidly revealed herself to the Midnight Shade members. My father’s reputation and position, Lex’s authority as the Alpha is likely to be addressed and I’m going to get killed by the Alpha himself, due to the laws.
Great! So fucking great.
“Breath flower, look at me ” He hisses , cupping my face to stare at him and I did. His eyes were warm, I didn’t see any form of repugnance or loathe in them but beautiful eyes that wanted me to survive.
“Good flower, just breathe in and out.” He ordered softly and I followed his movement, feeling a burning embarrassment forming an embryo of pain at the pit of my throat, seeing that I made everyone distracted again.
Tears burned my eyes and I didn’t bother to wipe them off, I was tired of hiding, fighting behind my pain. Just when I thought I could manage Felix and his advances for a while, another hard truth hit me like a ton of bricks.
“What the fuck are you spurting?” Raven finally growled and said something and Alveria’s glare was enough to make anyone cower but Raven’s ash eyes were darker than midnight. Just like Lex, he didn’t budge but stared hard at Alveria.
“You’re talking to a Priestess Raven, have some respect before I make you burn from the effect of my powers.” She threatened and Lex’s eyes left mine to meet him.
“Your power has nothing to do with such a heavy accusation. How is Luna’s personality connected to me?”
“You made research and sent it to Midnight Shade’s communication network which came as a shock to the team. They had to confirm if the number belonged to you and it was Raven! Why are you denying an act you allegedly sent to the pack for the Alpha’s safety?” Alveria yelled and Lex vibrated and cursed hard.
“She’s not going to sit there and put on a facade to destroy everyone. The Pack is glad for your efforts in finding out such a piece of crucial information even though her identity was already exposed but I decided to keep shut until it reveals itself.” She said and I could feed the burning hatred oozing out of the depth of her soul as our eyes met. She knew she won at last and I was going to be out of their lives.
Midnight Shade and White Crisps Pack had their Morals and Principles, and being a rogue has nothing to do with It. I would be killed immediately and it’s going to be done by a man I detest and Insanely attractive to.
Hot tears slid down and I sniffed, I guess it’s time to fulfill Felix’s desires. To flee and never return.
“This is barbaric!” Raven cursed and ruffled his ginger hair in confusion and bit his lips. I had a mixed feeling about everything and Lee growled in disappointment at him but I couldn’t judge.
Raven must have done a little research about me but I don’t believe the fact that he sent it to Midnight Shade as a whole. Something was missing but right now it’s not important anymore.
All that mattered was that my life was at stake, it was hanging on a thin thread and it would only be a matter of time before I became a celebrity once more. This time around, not with my tape but with my cursed personality.
Ryker’s father, who seemed to enjoy the silence of two powerful men in the house, grinned and smacked his lips as if an interesting offer had come his way.
“I didn’t send it Alpha, I don’t know what they are talking about but I’ll get to root for this mistake.” Raven’s voice was like a plea and so deadly, I could see the veins in the sides of his forehead as he spoke.
“That’s no mistake!” Alveria fired. ” She’s a rogue and that’s final. Troy came to make an offer and this would be the last time I would address this, Alpha. You’re getting married to Isabella Brickwood.”
Lee growled and my jaw dropped, my skin burned at such a thought. A sickening feeling that made me feel a sharp pain and when Lex didn’t say anything to her or argue, I knew it was bound to happen again and I couldn’t blame him…
There was nothing he could do and his hands were tied, after all, he was an Alpha, and laws needed to be abided. If not, Jax would have saved him when I was cursed and banished. Now, the only people who gave me the reason to live, to hide my fears and curses would be affected greatly.
“I’m not Killing Lilia,” Lex said abruptly, making Alveria scoff. The confidence in her authority irritated me as hell, it reminded me of Tessy and I badly wanted to groan.
“The law states that when ”
“That’s enough Alveria!” He ordered firmly and let go of my hand making me lose the warm feeling.
“The law states that I remain your Alpha and my words are final. Take Troy out of my Shade, I’ll set up a meeting and discuss what exactly he needs. For a father whose heart is grieving, he shouldn’t be so interested in my Pack’s downfall”
Troy chuckled at Lex and returned his gaze to me, this time he eyed my outfit and lingered his gaze on my exposed lap which made me cringe.
“I’m trying to save her life, Your father killed rogues in the last without blinking according to the law so you won’t be an exception since you’re so ruthless. I’ll buy her, own her, and make a retribution for my son’s death. Once that is done, I’ll pretend as if we never have that conversation and we’ll be at peace.”
He uttered and Raven growled, balling his fist in fury and I bit my lips, staring down without saying a word.
I’m at their mercy right now so whatever they wished to do to me was my fate.
“You’re so stupid.”Lex blurted out freely and stared at Alveria’
“Lilia isn’t a rogue, and I’m sure as hell that whatever it was they sent to Midnight Shade was a misunderstanding somewhere that has nothing to do with my beta.
A word about this shouldn’t be heard in the pack, not even my father, or I’ll be forced to make your brother vacate the pack immediately” He ordered her eyes widened in shock, and her lips quivered in disbelief.
“Are you threatening me Alpha?” She displayed an act that made me so confused.
“No Alveria, it’s a simple order. I feel threatened and I’m learning all of this from you, so don’t worry Priestess.”
Lex told her blankly and she seethed without saying a word but bowed.
He turned to Troy and took a few bold steps towards him, his taut jaw and facial expression were so menacing but Troy didn’t look like someone willing to give in, he glared back at him and all I saw in the man was a man who wanted to use his son’s death as ask to leverage for whatever he wants.
“I’ll make It up to you, not because your son didn’t deserve it but because it’s the right thing to do.”
“Exactly Alpha Alexander, do the right thing. Let me have her, If you can’t see it through her eyes that she’s a rogue then you must be head over heels. I want her, she’s beautiful, and Even if she won’t be a slave, I’ll make her my Luna. Green Howling packs do not go through barbaric laws like Midnight Shade.”
Lex’s sudden movement jerked me In surprise as he twisted his ankle and slammed his back to the wall.
“That’s not going to happen!” He growled
“Then she must come for an appeal, you won’t deny that no matter what power you wield Alexander, and sooner or later, her secret would be exposed!”
“Get the fuck out of my house, and the next time you want to visit me Alveria, relay your message to my Gamma. Jethro will tell me everything I need to know.”
He ordered her and she swallowed a lump without saying a word. I didn’t know if he was using the aura on her because she was exceptionally mad in a submissive manner and my guts knew that she was coming for me.
” Yes, Alpha.”She whispered hoarsely, her eyes sending a glaring and warning message to my eyes and slowly, I watched them leave like a nightmare in my dream.
The thickness in the air dissipated immediately after they left and Raven began to explain himself.
“I was careless Alpha, I think my phone was hacked and every instruction you sent was being monitored.”
He sighed and sat down, pinching his jaw.
“Things are going bad, Alveria won’t accept this. How the fuck this this happened?”
Lex seethed, getting up and tucking his hands in his pocket and I cleared my throat.
“I’ll go for the appeasal Lex, it’s the least I can do to minimize the issue. Well, except you’re going to kill me.”I said hoarsely and he turned sharply at me, taking forced steps toward me before squatting.
“I won’t hurt a hair on your skin!” His tone was sharp and sparks washed through me.
“Why?” My voice croaked in surprise, and he chuckled darkly.
“Because, until after the required months are over; You’re mine flower.” His gaze was fixed, his tone husky and I shook my head, pushing the fluttering feeling in my heart and skin.
“That’s because of your ego Lex, you don’t even know what you’re claiming.”
“You’re right, I don’t know a thing about you but I will find out starting from this night. Tell me, Flower? Why the fuck are you a rogue?” He asked and my heart dropped down to my stomach in dread.
