My Bounty

Far, Far Away

After I left the bathroom, I felt a strong hand grab my arm. I turned around quickly to find a gorgeous man standing infront of me. Then I smelt it, a fresh summer breeze...SHIT!

“Hi, I’m Christian Manors, and you are?”

His voice was soft, masculine and strong, I wanted to melt at the sound of it. He was so handsome, dark hair pushed back, shaven sides and a full thick beard, tanned skin and about 6’5. His eyes were the most amazing part of his face though. One was ice blue, the other was a magnificent bright green. I wanted to pounce him here and now, so did Lylah, she was howling and panting in my head, but who could blame her.

“Leaving” I answered to his question.

“Please don’t go, I would like to get to know you, how about a flute of champagne?”

“They’re over there” I said plainly pointing to the entrance. As soon as he turned his head I released his grip from my arm and bolted for the back doors. After I rounded a corner I leaned against the wall, my heart pounding from my chest.

“Hey, hey, hey, get back in there. That was mate and may I say DAAAAMN he was fine!!” Layla was having way too much of a good time, although she was right.

“There you are” a deep and sexy voice whispered in my ear. I must have jumped at least a foot away before seeing who it was. He giggled to himself at that, argh how I could listen to that sound all day. WHAT!! No, concentrate Alina!!

“I gave you my name but I still don’t know yours” Christian said with a sexy smirk on his face.

“I’m sorry but I must go back in now” I said walking past him whilst taking in a deep breath of his scent. Once I was back inside handing out champagne and food, Alpha Greyson took the stage.

“Hello and welcome everyone, thank you so much for coming today as I pass the title of alpha down to my son Damian.” Everyone started clapping for him.

“My son has asked to personally meet the Alphas of each pack personally tonight, to ensure he can continue the alliance of you all. But for now, I would like to present my son.” Damian took the stage with one of the elders as they gave a speech about treating the pack fairly and doing everything to ensure he does what’s best for the back and its members. Blah, blah, blah. Yeah right! Once it was done Damian took a seat at a table which I presumed to have all the alphas from the different packs at.

“Slave girl, where are our drinks!?” Damians yells at me, as I approach the table I notice an all too familiar voice. My stomach literally fell out of my arse.

“I am Alpha of the Red Moon Pack, thank you for having me tonight” I look up to see it’s none other than Christian Manors himself, he’s an alpha, WHAT!?! How the hell did the Moon Goddess herself mess up mating an Alpha with someone who’s lower than an omega? I was staring at him from behind my hair and he looked at me in surprise. “Slave girl, she can’t be” I heard him mutter to himself

“About time slave girl! Hurry up and piss off!” Damian snarled at me, before a pair of hands slammed down on the table.

“HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO MY MATE LIKE THAT!” I heard Christian roar at Damian. The place fell silent as all eyes landed on me. Great, just great. As I went to turn and take my leave a hand grabbed my arm and spun me around “slave girl? Your mate? Hah, you must be severely mistaken Alpha Christian, she’s nothing but a lowlife!” Lilliana snarled before grabbing me by my hair and shoving my face into the floor. “If anything, she should be kissing our feet and......AAAHHHH!!!” I looked up to find Lilliana had been thrown across the table, her mother quickly running to her side. “YOU DARE LAY A HAND ON MY MATE!!” Christian roared at her, Alpha Greyson was soon at her side trying to get her up.

“Surely there m-must be a misunderstanding Alpha C-Christian. The g-girl was brought in by us a-as a child when her p-pack were killed. S-she is a low omega” Alpha Greyson was stuttering......STUTTERING!!!

“If anyone of you speak or touch my mate again, I will have your head on a stick, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!” Everyone nodded before he added “she will be returning to my pack with me in the morning, until then she will be staying in my room!” Okay, did I not get a say in this??

Christian soon swept me off the ground bridal style before taking me outside. He placed me on a bench next to me. The hell was I suppose to say now “hey thanks for helping me out in there and scaring the s**t out of them, by the way I’m super turned on now” like what am I suppose to do??

“I’m sorry for the way I acted in there” he spoke softly

“It’s fine” I replied staring at the moon

“It’s not fine, why do you let them speak to you like that?”

“Because they are above me, besides the way I see it I have a roof over my head” I spoke plainly.

“That’s not the point, you’re a person, just like everyone else in here!”

“Hmmm” was all I could say to him. I knew he was right, but I didn’t know what to say.

“We go back with mate, mate take care of us!” Lylah was way too excited by this

“We can’t Lylah, he will only reject us now he knows we’re a low rank omega”

“No, mate will take care of us, I can feel it, mate cares!”

“No he doesn’t Lylah, we need to get away from here, we’ll be better on our own”

“Alina, we are stronger than you know. We are not a low rank omega of the Moon Goddess herself mated us with an Alpha. A strong and handsome alpha at that. We must find the truth to our past, the pack we once were a part of. We will find the answers to the question you keeps asking yourself”

“I haven’t been asking any questions though”

“Yes you have Alina, in you unconscious mind, you have been asking the questions of who you are, we will find the answers”

“Heellloooo” I snapped back to find Christian staring at me with confusion

“Hmm, yeah?” I answered him

“You still haven’t told me your name”

“Oh that, Alina, Alina Grey”

“Grey? I’ve heard that name somewhere, the, oh what was that packs name now, the crimson moon pack was it?”

“Never heard of it” I answered back confused

“Yeah, they were a strong pack, the lot of the stronger wolves had a bounty on their heads. I believe it was attacked by hunters. They shouldn’t have gone down so easily but once the alpha was down it didn’t take long for the rest of the pack to go down. The hunters had wolfbane, I believe they attacked without any mercy. I heard the alpha was a man not to be messed with, but the Hunter out smarted him.” Christian explained. I was shocked by that information.

“Hunters huh?”

We head back inside and suddenly all eyes are on us. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable in my life. Suddenly Alpha Greyson walks up to us. “I suggest you leave this pack at once Alina! You are nothing but bad luck, you always have been! The hunters should have slaughtered you as the did the rest of your family!”

Hunters? Was I from the crimson moon pack?

“What do you know of my previous pack!” I spoke to Greyson with confidence in my voice. “All I know is that you shouldn’t be alive, if we never had taken you in, you’d be dead by now. We may have had an alliance with the crimson moon pack, but once we realised how weak they were, we despised any survivors for being so weak. How was it they could be killed but hunters of all people. You really are a pathetic excuse for a wolf!” He spat back before walking away.

I felt the anger in me rise, Layla had no control of this anger, my body felt strange as I stood there, anger pouring from my body, I stared at the back of Greysons head as he walked away. Suddenly the lights in the room shattered as I could feel my blood bubbling. He turned back around to me and stared at me with fear in his eyes. No one knew what was happening, even Layla was scared of me at this point. “You. You knew of my pack, of my family, yet you never told me about them, then you have the audacity to speak ill of them to my face. How dare you!” I looked up at him, and noticed everyone on the floor on their hands and knees as if begging for forgiveness, Greyson went to say something before his head twisted, and loud c***k heard as his lifeless body fell to the ground. I suddenly snapped out of it and stared at his body in horror. Did I do that? What was that? How?

I looked up to see everyone staring in horror at the scene that just took place, I didn’t know what had happened but I quickly turned and ran out of there.

“Lylah what happened in there?”

I got no reply, instead I could hear her whimpering in my head.

“Lylah please tell me!”

I felt a shaky hand touch my shoulder, I turned to find a frightened Christian staring at me.

“Alina, what did you do in there?” He asked, fear in his voice

“I don’t know....I-I’m scared, even my wolf is scared to talk to me” tears were rimming my eyes as I fell to my knees. Did I do that? I started sobbing uncontrollably as I let myself fall into Christians arms. He held me there for a minute, trying to calm me, the sparks I felt go through my body relaxed me soon enough, I looked up at him as his amazing eyes stared back down at me. “What happened in there?” He asked

“I don’t know, I was so angry with what he’d said about my family, I thought about snapping his neck, then it just happened” I said confused and frightened. Did I just think about killing him for it to come true? Surely that’s impossible, right?

He spoke to me a little less frightened now “shall we head back inside, surely everyone wants to know what had happened” I honestly didn’t want to go, I knew I was about to be faced with an angry alpha family, I wasn’t ready for it.

“YOU! YOU KILLED MY HUSBAND!” Luna Violet screamed at me, sobbing her heart out.

“I’m sorry Luna, I didn’t know what happened” I whispered back at her

“How could you? After all we did for you” she said crying uncontrollably. I stared at her confused at what she just said, but didn’t do much more as I didn’t want to think about her dying and it actually happening. I wasn’t ready to unknowingly take another life.

“You heartless b***h!” Lilliana threw herself at me, but Christian stepped in front before throwing her to the side.

“HOW CAN YOU TAKE THAT MURDERERS SIDE?!” She screamed at Christian. I knew he was only doing this because of the mate bond.

“We will be taking our leave now” Christian told them as he grabbed my hand, leading me to the front of the house. As we got outside we were met by his beta who got into the drivers seat of the car in front of us, soon enough we were driving away from that god forsaken pack. I just hoped where we went was far, far away.
