Alpha Dominik

6

"Me ?!" I asked scared and confused at the same time. "Why would an Alpha ask for me? What does he want?"

I look at the faces around me from my position in the chair. The lamp partially blinds me, but I can see the serious expressions of him watching me. Whatever that bastard wants from me, I can imagine it won't be any good.

The Alpha waves his hand dismissively as if he couldn't care.

"Who knows? That is not the important thing, what matters here is that you have the opportunity to save these lands! To save the pack! What do the perverse tastes of a Wolf matter?" He finishes talking with a shrug, most casual. He says it like it's no big deal like he didn't just tell me that he had to sell me as ... as some kind of s*x slave to a strange Wolf to save the pack.

The blood ran cold in my veins, it was difficult for me to breathe and I swallowed loudly the lump that had formed in my throat. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, he didn't want to believe it. And I thought they had brought me here to punish me! If only it were that ... 

"Do you want me to sell myself as a s*x slave to this Wolf?" I asked, my voice surprisingly empty of emotion in contrast to how I felt inside. I wanted to scream, cry, and even laugh because who the hell would want me for that? What a disappointment the damn degenerate would take.

But more than that he wanted to run, he wanted to flee from there; I wanted to find Jason and for the two of us to escape this Institute once and for all.

Jason had asked his own father's permission to make me his Mate. How hideously comical that once he had had what he wanted so badly, he had lost it in a matter of minutes. All my life wishing that Jason wanted me, and when I find out that he loved me too, it turns out I can't have him anyway.

The Alpha on the part of him has the nerve to look surprised.

"Wow, wow Lia that is a very shocking expression. Remember that you are a Delta, you always have been. Your life is b*****e, it is your purpose. Now you would only continue to serve ... only in another way"

I could not believe what I was hearing. So just because he had placed me in a life Delta, under the guise of saving my life did he mean that he would have to sell not only my dignity but now my body as well? Disgust and anger mixed in me, forming a dangerous combination, and I bit my lip to restrain myself from spitting in his face.

No matter how much he wanted to do it, how much he wanted to have claws to wrench the sly smile off his face, he knew that doing so would be a very unwise move. After all, she couldn't ignore where he was. The Alpha had brought me to the Cave for nothing, it was to intimidate me and to tell me that he truly had no choice. And actually, he didn't, did he? Even if I hated it, even if I resisted it tooth and nail, what the Alpha said was true. I was here to serve, that was my purpose and it always would be, even if I didn't want to, even if I tried to refuse, I knew very well that it would achieve nothing. If Alpha believed that surrendering to me would solve the problems he had gotten himself into and his entire pack, I had no doubt that he would deliver me naked with a bow on my head at the door of that Alpha .

And if he refused me or tried to escape, he would probably torture me before turning myself in.

Breaking protocol, I look the Alpha straight in the eye. 

"Do I have a choice?"

His expression is impassive, but the sparkle in his eyes reflects triumph.

"No."

A single word, but his purpose resounds in the echo of the Cave. But of course, I have no choice, could I hope for something else with the life I have had? A life of hard work, abuse, and sacrificing everything for the name of the pack, a pack that hated me and spat my name.

Knowing, that my life has always been and will always be like this and that I have no possibility of escaping, numbs me inside.

"Of course, your sacrifice will not be in vain, Delta Lia. Not only will you be saving the pack but you could do so much more. Within the enemy clan, you would have an invaluable position for us. Just think about it, you could destroy them from within"

I let out a laugh that sounds more like a plaintive moan. 

“Do you want me to be his spy from my invaluable position as that Alpha's slave?” The idea was so incredibly silly as if it would be in a position to do absolutely nothing. Well, probably lying on your back and with your legs spread. The thought filled me with disgust and I had to force myself not to vomit. "You're assuming I'm going to live long enough to get information," I replied dryly.

-Don't be pessimistic, Delta. You have always been a good servant. You just have to be ... just as diligent with him and I'm sure you will achieve a position of trust"

My stomach churned just thinking about what I should do to achieve that confidence.

"And of course, we would keep in touch. If you do your job right, you could wipe out this herd of criminals and traitors and be back home in no time"

I lift my head, trying to trample on the hope that awakens in me. I do not want to harbor false hopes, I have done it for several years now and it has only brought me more suffering. But I see the Alpha, and there seems to be no falsehood in his voice.

"Who knows? Maybe when you get back ... Jason will be waiting for you"

I didn't want to believe what he was offering me but I knew it was my best option. My only option anyway. I already knew that he had no choice but if he did it and did it well, he might end up winning something from all of this.

The problem was, at what cost?
