Fred tapped my side as he leaned into my shoulder "Did you say anything to him"?
I shook my head up and down as my tears welled up "But...but I didn't tell him it was you..." I said fearfully.
At that moment, Michael's hand grabbed my white hair and threw me to the ground dragging me backwards.
"If that treaty is not signed, you will be the one to blame and I will kill you!" Michael shouted as he dragged me down the stairs to the basement.
"Please. No... no... I only answered alpha Damian's question" I said with tears.
"You're only good for ruining everything" Fred shouted, raising his hand to hit me.
But, before anyone else could make a move, Damian's voice rose up "Stop it now!"
As soon as we turned around, we saw Damian standing, leaning against the wall.
"Alfa, Damian... I thought you were gone" muttered Michael letting go of my hair.
I fell to my knees on the floor and noticed the hot, red liquid on my nose.
"I seem to have lost my way and ended up in this horrible place, where only your sister's strange smell floods in. Is this where she lives?" asked Damian with a raised eyebrow.
Michael cleared his throat and nodded "Yes. Traitors don't deserve a room in the mansion".
Fred looked at Alpha Damian and sighed "Alpha Damian, with your permission, Alpha Michael's business is none of your concern".
Damian gave a cynical grin as he thundered his neck "I'm the damn king of the wolves, yes it is my business, especially if they ally with my pack"
"Alpha, she's just treated like the rest..." said Beta Fred.
Damian scoffed and walked over to Fred" "Do you really think I don't know she'll be punished? This girl is malnourished and exhausted. You're mistreating her for something she supposedly did when she didn't even have any sense"
Michael clenched his fists and stomped on the ground in rage "She's a murderer! Don't mix my business with the alliance!
"Would you let your mate be treated like that?" Damian asked.
As soon as I heard his, a wave of nerves ran through my body. My brother's mate was my third executioner. Since she was Luna of the pack, she could do whatever she wanted with me.
As I was absorbed in my thoughts, I noticed Damian's heavy gaze resting on me. Why was this man defending me? I was just a useless girl that everyone hated and mistreated.
There was an awkward silence for a few minutes, until Damian took a step and scanned the room. It was just four walls, with a tiny bathroom, a bed and an old closet.
"Alpha Michael, I have a proposition for you" said Alpha Damian.
"A proposal? What are you talking about?" asked Michael.
"If you don't agree, I will close my border for you and no other pack will have an alliance with you. We both know you need me" said Damian confidently.
Fuck, with his every word the man was spreading power.
"Well, what proposal do you have?" asked Michael.
"I want to take Zoe into my pack. Immediately, I will sign the treaty with you only if you agree to that.
Alpha Damian's words left me completely surprised. He wanted me?
On the other hand, Michael and Fred got together and started muttering while Damian looked me up and down.
After a couple of minutes, Michael sighed and turned to Damian "Alpha, Damian, he accepted your deal" he said, holding out his hand.
"Good decision" said Damian without extending Michael's hand "I will order my men to draw up a document".
Michael nodded, as Damian looked at me "Get your things ready, I'll come for you in the morning" said Damian, as he raised his hand and ran the pad of his thumb across my lower lip.
His touch melted my heart and my legs trembled. I didn't know exactly what this man wanted with me, but, just by looking at him, everything around me seemed to disappear.
Then, he let go of my lip and looked furiously at Fred and Michael "If I find out that any of you have harmed Zoe, I swear it will be the last time the members of this pack will see you" Damian said radiating power.
After that, Damian disappeared from our sight. At that moment, Michael turned to me with his fists clenched "Get the hell out of my sight now!
When I heard him, I quickly hid in the bathroom as the two men left the room.
I quickly exited the bathroom and locked the door behind me. s**t, I didn't know what to think. I just opened the closet and grabbed my three dresses and my worn pajamas.
After packing, I threw myself on the bed.
The night had been a disaster. I spent hours rolling around in bed trying to figure out what Damian wanted from me.
I was a she-wolf who had no power or abilities, why did the King want me with him?
***
Damian
Shit, I felt like my chest was going to explode. Zoé wasn't like the others, she had a smell that made my heart beat fast.
However, she was a shy girl and I couldn't feel her wolf.
That morning I got up earlier than usual and went straight to Alpha Michael's pack.
"What's the matter with you, buddy, another girl?" said Alan my beta, with a smirk on his lips.
"Shut the f**k up! " shouted Riley, my gamma.
"f**k, shut up both of you!" I yelled, clenching my fists "She's not like the other girls. So keep your mouth shut. Or it could be the last words to come out of your lips".
Fuck, what was wrong with me? I was completely nervous. Ever since I saw Zoé, my wolf started howling inside me. I didn't know what attracted me to her, but she was different from the rest of the girls I had chosen.
After a few minutes, the car stopped in front of the huge mansion and the three of us got out. The reality is that I had no idea about the existence of that pack, I only knew that the alpha Michael was a womanizing i***t.
We quickly stopped at the entrance of the mansion and waited for Alpha Michael and his beta, Fred.
"Alpha Damian, welcome back" said Michael with an annoyed look on his face.
I didn't even answer him when I looked over his shoulders. Zoé appeared with her eyes down and her small body.
"Are you ready?" I asked her.
"Alpha, if I may..." Fred tried to say.
But, before he could finish speaking, I glared at him and stopped him "I don't want to hear your words".
The man opened his eyes completely surprised. On the other side, Zoé was walking towards me with a worn bag.
I pursed my lips and looked around, but there was nothing else "Where is your luggage?" I asked.
"It's this" she said with embarrassment.
"What?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Alpha Damian, that's all she has" Michael snorted mockingly.
"Would she need more? That's a tease" Fred said with a derisive laugh.
My wolf growled furiously inside me "Murder that bastard!
I shook my head and tried to control myself, but when I tried to speak, an irritating voice made itself heard behind me.
"Oh my God, we'll finally get rid of this b***h!"
As soon as I heard it, I looked over and saw a woman in a tiny dress and flowing hair. She walked flirtatiously towards Michael, while he looked at her with lust.
On the other side, Zoé stepped back a step, almost trembling with fear. At that moment, I felt some intrigue. It was obvious that this girl was also mistreating Zoé; otherwise, she wouldn't be so afraid.
"Alpha Damian, you'd be doing a favor if you'd take the vixen with you. I'm sure she'll make an excellent slave" added the woman with a pretentious expression.
"Let that be the last time you speak of her like that. She won't be a slave" I said, clenching my fists.
"Alpha. I.."
I motioned for her to shut up as I looked at Alpha Michael "You better shut your wife up, my patience is reaching its limit" I said.
"What, are you shutting me up?" replied the blonde making me angry.
"Betsy!" shouted Beta Fred.
"No one tells me to shut up! Least of all by that filthy rat" She shouted.
I smiled cynically as I gestured to the woman to shut up. "I don't think you know your position".
My eyes darkened, causing the woman to back away and bow.
At that, I pulled out a folder and handed it to Alpha Michael "Let's get this over with now" I said.
Michael sighed, took his wife by the hand and they walked towards the office.
I looked at them seconds before my men followed. However, when I tried to take a step, my wolf began to make me uneasy.
Confused, I turned around and saw Zoë with a long face and her small purse in her hand.
"Are you okay?" I asked her "I know you're scared. But now you are welcome in my pack. You can go to my car and wait for me there" I said.
"Do I have a choice?" she hinted with a lowered gaze.
"Maybe. Would you rather go with me? I'm about to annoy your brother and his filthy wife" I said with a slight smile on my lips.
She looked up and gave a slight smile. s**t, she was f*****g beautiful when she smiled. I was mesmerized looking at her for a few seconds.
"I'll go with you" she said turning her head towards the door.
"Good decision" I said, extending my hand towards her.
She looked at my hand and kept walking with the bag in her hand. On the other hand, when we entered the office, Michael and his wife looked at Zoe.
"Sit here" I said to Zoe gesturing to her.
She sat down next to me. I couldn't help but touch her shoulder and noticed her soft, white skin. What the f**k was wrong with me?
"What? She can't sit at the table! She doesn't deserve it!" The blonde exclaimed mockingly.
"f**k, murder that b***h!" shouted my wolf as soon as we heard the blonde.
"Not yet" I said shaking my head.
I looked at the woman and clenched my fists "If you don't want them to become my enemies, you better shut the f**k up" I growled
