My Second Chance with the Monster

Zoé For years I had endured abuse from members of my pack, but Fred was one of my chief tormentors and my ex mate, who publicly rejected me before he went off to f**k one of his bitches. The pain of rejection wasn't so cruel, after all, I was disappointed to learn that my mate was that bastard. "Alpha Michael and I are expecting a visit and the whole f*****g office is filthy! Do your f*****g job and clean up now!" Fred shouted, making my legs shake. "This meeting is very important, so I want to see my reflection on the f*****g floor!" shouted the man spitting in my face. I nodded my head again. The reality is that King Alpha Damian will be visiting our pack to ally with us. The man led the most powerful and dangerous pack of all werewolves. It was important for him to agree to the alliance and sign an agreement. However, I didn't understand why they needed him, as our pack had never been attacked nor had we ever had any problems with other packs. But, as I was wandering in my thoughts, I suddenly felt Fred sink his claws into my shoulder before slamming me against the office door. "You're useless! You have 15 minutes to finish this!” he shouted, pushing me into the office. I heard the office door slam shut as a sigh escaped my lips. I looked around the office and saw that everything was clean. It was obvious that Fred just wanted to annoy me, as did Alpha Michael, who unfortunately was my older brother and the second of my tormentors. "f**k, I hate them" I shouted in a soft whisper. However, just then I heard a chuckle behind me. My legs were shaking as I turned around and saw by the couch an extremely handsome man, black-haired and almost six feet tall. The man had a muscular chest that was clearly visible under the collar of his black and seemingly expensive suit. He had a glass of alcohol in his hand and was looking at me from the couch. His lips were full and pink, and his eyes were blue. I froze as he got up from the couch and walked slowly towards me "That's how you greet alphas?" he hinted in a deep, husky tone. For a second, I inhaled a delicious scent as his powerful aura ate me from head to toe. I shook my head and looked down, standing up "I'm so sorry. I thought I was alone. Please spare my life" I said with embarrassment. The man was silent for a few seconds before gesturing for me to come closer. I felt my heart beating faster and faster. I stopped in front of him, not knowing what to do or say. "You have a strange smell" Aren't you a she-wolf?" he asked looking at me from head to toe. "Yes, I am a she-wolf" I said, thinking of all the possible punishments I would receive for it. The man approached me and walked around me as he seemed to inhale my scent. "Why do you have that peculiar smell? Why didn't you smell me as soon as you came in here?" he asked me with a raised eyebrow. "I'm sorry... it's just that..." I said half-heartedly. "Speak, I can't wait any longer" he said knocking on the table next to him. I jumped back, not knowing how to respond. I knew perfectly well why I hadn't caught his scent, but I was too embarrassed to say so. After all, my pack members laughed when I told them part of my story. "Respond. Hasn't your alpha taught you how to treat other alphas?" the man insinuated with a tone that gave me goose bumps. I opened my eyes and lifted my face to look at him "I... I have limited abilities". He leaned forward and placed the cup on the table. I could feel his gaze on my face. "Why?" he asked. For a moment, an idea crossed my mind. f**k, this was the alpha my brother was looking forward to. Then, I shook my head "It was a curse". The man straightened his body abruptly and I closed my eyes. For a moment, I thought he was going to slap me or mock me like the rest of the pack, but just then the office door burst open. "What the f**k are you doing here, Zoe?" asked Michael before turning his gaze to the alpha in front of him "Oh, alpha, Damian. I'm so sorry my sister has made you uncomfortable" Alpha Damian, didn't respond, as Michael turned around and reached out his hand to slap me on the cheek. I closed my eyes expecting to feel the pain, but Damian's voice stopped him. "I wouldn't dare do that if I were you". My brother stopped his movements as if something was forcing him. On the other hand, I opened my eyes in complete surprise when I saw that Alpha Damian held my brother's hand and kept him in the air. Fuck, I hadn't even realized that Damian was much taller and muscular than my brother. "Zoé... she was kind and showed me your office, since you didn't come over as soon as I arrived, as I had requested" hinted Alpha Damian without looking away from my eyes. I was dumbfounded at his response. He had lied to save me? At that moment, Michael turned to me and clenched his fists before Damian released his grip. He looked at me with his most furious expression, so I backed away knowing what would happen to me next. "Go and get Beta Fred, our special guest has arrived" Michael ordered me. I nodded and quickly left the office. I looked everywhere for Fred until I went upstairs and heard moaning coming from his room. Fred and Michael never missed a chance to get sluts into their rooms, so I was used to it by now. I knocked on the door slowly and there was a roar from the room. "What the hell do you want?" he shouted looking at me with his black eyes. "Alpha... Alpha Michael is waiting for you in his office. Alpha Damian has arrived" I said, looking at the two blondes in the room. "You're lucky I can't kill you right now" he said entwining his fingers in my hair. His warm breath collided on my face as he sniffed my neck; my eyes reddened with hatred. He knew I couldn't defend myself, so he was having fun making me suffer. "Get out!" he shouted, pushing me to the floor and slamming the door in my face I let out a sigh and ran back into the main hall. *** It had been almost three hours since the meeting between both alphas and beta Fred started. I stayed in the lounge trying to keep myself busy. However, just when I thought I had gotten rid of Michael, I heard him talking throughout the room. "Zoé!" With a sigh, I ran to the office door and, as I opened it, I heard Michael "Go and get some champagne, we need to celebrate" he ordered before slamming the door shut. I ran to the small bar in the mansion and fetched glasses and champagne. I returned with a tray to the office. However, as I poured the champagne glasses, I could feel the gaze of the alpha Damian, resting on me. "I can fill my own glass" he said, taking the bottle from my hands. As I looked at him, I was stunned; not only did I notice that I was turning red, but I also knew that Michael would take advantage of that to increase my punishment. However, as I was wandering in my thoughts, Damian's voice snapped me out of my trance "Is Zoe your sister meno" he asked looking at Michael with a raised eyebrow. "Yes" answered Michael with disgust. "If so, why do you treat her that way?" he asked. My brother furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance; it was the first time anyone had ever commented to Michael about his treatment of me. I froze, not knowing whether I should run away or stay. "Zoé murdered our parents" Michael replied self-assuredly. I closed my eyes and clenched my fists remembering that night. "What are you talking about?" asked Damian with a raised eyebrow. "She gave my parents poison" insinuated Michael as he glared at me. At that moment, Damian looked at me as if he was judging me. After all, everyone was. Who could respect a girl who poisoned her own parents? But, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I suddenly noticed that Alpha Damian grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. His black eyes scanned my entire face, while my breathing quickened. "Is it true?" he asked. "I... I was five years old. I only brought them apple juice" I said, sounding embarrassed. I closed my eyes, refusing to remember that moment. It was all my fault: I had murdered my parents! However, while I was lost in my thoughts, Damian clenched my jaw even tighter "I don't think so". Before I could say anything, Damian let go of my chin and turned to Michael "I don't think a five year old is guilty of that. "What? She spiked the juices with poison!" Michael said, banging on the table. "No, someone tricked her. Everyone knows that alpha-blooded werewolves are immune to many poisons. Only stramonium could kill us like that," said Damian. "She killed them!" shouted Michael. "Where would a five-year-old girl get stramonium?" added Damian seriously. "Stop it, I didn't invite you here to talk about that b***h or my parents!" When I heard Michael's shout, I noticed anger welling up in Damian's pores. How could Michael disrespect him like that? This man could murder him in a second! Contrary to what one might expect, Damian wore a dangerous smile and put on his suit jacket "You're right, I'll go to my pack and find another one to ally with" he said. His sudden words made Michael stand up from the sofa in astonishment "But.... the agreement is ready!" "I haven't signed it" said Damian, walking towards the door. mmediately, I felt my heart beating nervously. Michael didn't take a second to turn to me and hit me on the cheek. "What the f**k did you do? What did you say to Alpha, Damian? You f*****g b***h! I felt the sting on my cheek as he grabbed my neck "I...I didn't...I didn't say anything" I tried to say, breathing uncomfortably.
