REBORN: SEDUCING THE WICKED OMEGA

"You need to leave, Elodie!" Papa said as he backed away from the window. Through it, I see the outside glow both orange and fiery red as fire swallows every cabin and house within the vicinity of Moon Gray Pack's territory. I held his arm and shook my head, "I don't want to. I don't want to leave you here. If I need to leave, you must come with me!" "I am the Alpha of the pack. What would they think of me if I ran away with my daughter instead of fighting the invader to protect my pack and the members of it?" He asked. Every tear that was only clouding my eyes a second ago now fell non-stop and blurred my sight, I didn't want to let go of him still. "Mama is dead. You are all that I have now and I can't lose you too. I-I don't want to lose you too s-so please. Let's just go, run away with me!" Papa's hand moved fast to shield me with himself as the locked door of my room burst open. Seeing our Beta's son, Erik, walk in, Papa felt relieved. He took my hand and pushed me into Erik's arm. "I must defend our pack. Bring Elodie to our hideout. The two of you will be safe there. Once this night is over and if I survive, I'll meet you there," he said. Erik circled his hand on the small of my waist, I writhed against his firm hold of me, wanting to run back to Papa when I felt a sharp object that Erik slowly pressed on the side of my throat. "P-Papa," I called in a breathy voice. His eyes widened and his knuckles tightened. His attempt to come closer to me only provoked Erik to press his knife on my skin even more, cutting and making me bleed. "D-Don't. Erik, please! Don't hurt her. I'll do anything that you want. Anything, just don't hurt my daughter!" Papa screamed in both fear and frustration. Breathing carefully as I didn't want Erik to slit me even more, I closed my eyes and swallowed a lump in my throat. "Why are you doing this to me? Your father is the Beta of this pack! You'll be the next Beta of Moon Gray Pack, you should be protecting the pack like everyone else, but instead, you choose to betray us. Why?!" Papa screamed angrily at Erik in between gritted teeth. We heard a distinct and commanding footstep approaching the room. A man, six feet in height with his icy blonde white hair tied halfway showed himself and his presence caused my father's jaw to drop. "R-Roscoe?" Papa's voice was filled with horror and shock as he mumbled the name. "Y-You're alive?" He asked. A horrifyingly wicked smile came to life as the shifter continued to advance towards my father who kept on backing away from him. "I am. You failed to wipe us all out and now I am back to teach you how it should be done," the unfamiliar shifter bearing a special feature of a clan of shifters that ceased to exist two decades ago whispered in a small voice but was loud enough for my ears to pick up too. "You're a De Loughrey?" I asked. I wasn't born yet when the demise of their entire lineage happened. I only heard about what happened to them and the tragic fall of the said powerful royal pack that once ruled the whole Quell through the mouths of elders. With me suddenly involving myself in the conversation, Roscoe De Loughrey noticed me at last. "A rare combination of ginger hair and blue eyes. I am pleased to meet your little wolf, Alpha Gray." Papa fell on his knees and weakly crawled towards Roscoe. "S-Spare my daughter. Elodie knows nothing about the atrocities and betrayal that I did in the past. My daughter is innocent, let her go. Please let her go." The great Alpha of the Moon Gray Pack that every Alpha from the nearby town and pack was scared of now choked on his word as he begged, and even when I witnessed it through my own eyes, I couldn't believe it still. Papa shifted his eyes to my spot, "Run, Elodie. Go! Run and never look back, run until you're sure that you're safe from them, run Elodie, please!" Papa screamed as he was breaking down out of helplessness. Roscoe crouched to level himself with my kneeling father. His finger caged my father's jaw and his clutch on it tightened as their gazes with each other prolonged. "Twenty years ago, after killing my Alpha King father that you should have been protecting as his personal Epsilon, my mother begged you to spare me, she nearly cried blood, but you didn't listen, so why should I?" Roscoe taunted. "Why should I spare your daughter when you tried to kill me yourself, ha?" I gasped, my stomach twisted and rolled and I dropped to my knees as I witnessed how Roscoe suddenly and ruthlessly stabbed my father in the face, he pulled his knife and buried it again. Roscoe kept doing it until Papa's face became barely recognizable. Papa's blood-stained and splattered on Roscoe's face down to his white shirt. After he pulled his knife from Papa for the last time, he turned to me and smirked as if he intended for me to see it. Scared that I'd be his next target, I muster the last ounce of my strength and crawl my way out of the room. A blaring and deafening shriek escaped my lips as Roscoe caught my legs and pulled me back to the room. He flipped me over, our eyes locked in then both our pupils dilated. The beat of our hearts suddenly synched in with each other which caught us off-guard. His eyes burn in golden yellow and the next thing I knew, he had bitten my neck, claiming me as his mate without my consent.
