Marcellus heart was pounding in his chest as he lay on the bed, bound and helpless. He had been taken from his home in the day light time, by a group of strange people, and he had no idea why.
As he lay there, struggling against the ropes that bound him, Marcellus suddenly remembered something he had always had. He could make his claws grow longer and stronger than as he is a werewolf and when his freed his hand he can remove his necklace and find a way out. He knew he wasn’t supposed to always show it but at this time, it was needed. He focused his thoughts on his claws, willing them to extend and slice through the ropes.
At first, nothing happened. But then, with a surge of adrenaline, Marcellus felt his claws start to grow. They lengthened and sharpened, cutting through the ropes with ease. He quickly tore the tape from his mouth and freed himself from the bed.
With his freedom regained, Marcellus ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked from the outside. He then pulled off his necklace and looked at the door knobbed. He touched it with his hands, causing it to heat up and melt. Marcellus smiled at what he did, he was proud of himself. So he opened the door and left. The building was huge and he didn’t know his way out but he was determined to find a way out of this place.
While…..
Alpha Aiden was surprised at what he just heard. The young man had introduced himself as Ryan Zach, saying that he was Laila’s mate. That kind of made sense to Alpha Aiden as the woman and man were Laila’s parents who had come back for revenge.
But it wasn’t his fault Laila got killed, Alpha Aiden thought. No one asked her to come into battle but her stupid stubbornness and anger got her killed. She thought she could take down Camille and she was wrong.
“So this is all about Laila?”, Alpha Aiden asked looking at her parents.
“Of course, you killed our little girl or rather your mate did and even though Laila wasn’t your real mate, you should have brought justice”, Laila’s mother cried out.
“Justice you say. It was a war, Laila was not supposed to be there, she was not supposed to fight”, Alpha Aiden argued.
“She was Luna at that time and it was right for her to fight for her pack”, Laila’s father growled.
Alpha Aiden looked at them, furious ,”we all know that she wasn’t fighting for the pack and she just wanted to show off”.
“Show off?? Your stupid mate killed her”, Ryan , Laila’s mate joined in.
Alpha Aiden snarled at him as he moved closer to Ryan, ” do not speak of my mate that way. Nothing is stopping me from ripping your head apart from your body except my son”.
Ryan smiled at Alpha Aiden, feeling amused and enjoying everything, “I’m glad to know that you know that. Your son is in my custody and you won’t be foolish enough to hurt me”.
“You know I should have just let her be with her mate, instead of making her, marry you”, Laila’s mother lamented as Laila’s father agreed.
“What do you mean, what are you talking about?” , Alpha Aiden questioned them, getting confused.
“Well Alpha Aiden we knew that Laila had found her mate”.
Alpha Aiden stared at them in shock,”you knew and you still let her marry me? I do not understand how you could do that”.
” Well of course we didn’t want to say no to our Alpha and it was a great privileged for our daughter to be married to the Alpha of our Pack. No offense Ryan”, Laila’s father concluded as Ryan replied with, “none taken”.
“But it was a mistake, you didn’t deserve her , none of you did and then you killed her and no one even cared”, Laila’s father continued.
“No one asked you to give her to me and as funny as it sounds I was willing to give it a try until I found out she was having an affair and i just felt irritated and regret for even considering that thought”, I told them in disgust.
“Well that’s not a surprise of course, we were aware of it all”, her parents said.
Ryan let out a loud laugh, “how stupid can you be Alpha. Of course they knew me, and I enjoyed every moment with my mate Laila, not that it matters to you but you will have to pay for the pain you and your family caused Laila and her family”.
“All of you are… I don’t even know what to say but you all disgust me. You supported your daughter in doing the wrong and you have the guts to talk to me like I did worse. Laila got herself killed, no one caused her death. She wished to fight against my mate and her Luna and she got it coming hard, so don’t come here saying things you know nothing about”, Alpha Aiden barked out at Ryan.
Ryan punched Alpha Aiden in the face but Alpha Aiden made no sign of pain, he just laughed and looked back at Ryan, ” once again, my son is saving you from a painful death. But keep on using your free time. Very soon you won’t be so alive”.
“Please please, enough with a your pointless threats. We both know you won’t be able to do anything to me , so stop implicating your son the more”, Ryan said to Alpha Aiden with a smirk on his face.
“Just go straight to the point, what the fuck do you want Ryan?”, Alpha Aiden asked, his blood boiling.
“I want you to step down from being Alpha of your pack and hand over the title to me and your son lives but I’m not so sure about your life”, Ryan suggested.
“You must be foolish, thinking that I would hand over my pack to you. Look at you, your not fit to even be an Omega, your rank is way lower mutt”, Alpha Aiden insulted Ryan.
Ryan was so furious and stabbed his knife into Alpha Aiden’s chest, which made Alpha Aiden grunt in pain.
“Dad?”.
