He's My King

Episode One - Freedom

The party was crazy. People were on the roof, people were filling up every room and even spilling into the front yard. The music was loud and deafening, however, the neighbours knew not to interfere. People were making out, having s*x, drinking, dancing, taking drugs and talking. Everyone knew that this was the party of the year and no one was planning on letting it's name down.

The party of course, was held by a very powerful and influential person. After his parents were brutally murdered, the young Prince took over as a young King. And his name will go down in history forever. Xavier Nathaniel Slade. The brutal, cold-hearted, aggressive King who knew no mercy.

Despite being a young, immature King, he rarely held parties which is why this one was so important. The King was celebrating his twenty-first birthday. Today was the day he could legally drink in America and he was taking full advantage of it. Deep down, Xavier had planned the party to find his soulmate. He invited werewolves from all over the place, praying she would come. Much to his dismay, his wolf could not sense or smell their mate.

Across the country, in another pack a petite girl lay on a broken and ratched bed. The room was quiet except for the sound of the rain pattering on the only window in the room. Normally, there would be a massive commotion in the room as the Alpha would rush in complaining she hadn’t done her chores properly. He would then grab her by her long brown hair and would drag her out of her room to fix her mistakes.

Luckily for her, tonight the Alpha was out. He was busy at the King’s party. He wasn’t even invited, he just heard of the party and decided to show up, not that it really bothered anyone. His pack was much more carefree when he wasn’t there anyway.

Emmeline spent the night staring at the ceiling. She couldn’t understand why but her wolf was on edge, constantly mumbling some incoherent words and prepared to meet their mate. Emmeline doubted she even had a mate. Oh how wrong she was.

“Get up mutt, this house needs to be in perfect condition before the Alpha gets back,” the Beta of the pack yelled at Emmeline as he threw some water on her. She quickly sat up, yelping at the coldness of the water. “I doubt you will want to feel the Alpha’s anger today. He got extremely mad after he was unable to speak to the King, so you’d best begin.” Emmeline yawned and looked out her small window. From what she could see past the bars, the sun wasn’t even up.

She dragged herself downstairs and began mopping the floors along with the other maid, Addison. Addison was on her hands and knees, scrubbing any imperfections off the white tiles whilst Emmeline was mopping.

After all tiled floors on the first floor were finished, Addison began cooking food for everyone and Emmeline began cleaning away all the clutter that people had thrown around.

The girls both cleaned up after breakfast. They were lucky enough to score themselves a warm plate of bacon and eggs which they shared. Suddenly, the Alpha arrived home. All pack members living in the pack house raced to the foyer to meet him, including Emmeline.

He walked inside and immediately examined the room. A slight smudge on the wall caught his attention and rage raced throughout his alcohol filled bloodstream. He walked to Emmeline and grabbed a fist full of her hair, “What the f**k is that mutt?!”

“I don’t know Alpha, I am sorry Alpha,” she yelped and whined under his hold. He dragged her by the hair to the basement.

“No! Please Alpha! I am sorry!” She begged as he threw her into the cell.

“You slut! Your job is to clean my house and you failed!” Emmeline held her shaky hands in front of her but they served no purpose as a long leather strap whipped across her pale skin. She screamed and attempted to crawl away. The Alpha growled, “Turn around and take your top off.” She did as she was told. “The more sound you make, the more whips you get,” he said as he brought the whip high in the air.

The sound of leather whipping bare skin filled the air. Every so often, Emmeline would whimper or scream and the Alpha would hit her harder than before. After what felt like a century, the Alpha left and slammed the cell door shut. Emmeline whimper and curled herself into a ball in the corner of the cell. Her shirt was still lying on the ground and her front was bare but she couldn’t care less.

After a couple of hours, the sound of footsteps echoed throughout the basement. However, they weren’t the normal footsteps of her Alpha. “Emmeline?” Addison’s whisper filled the room and Emmeline attempted to pull herself to her feet. Addison quickly and quietly pulled open the cell door, running to Emmeline’s side. “Shh, shh, it’s okay. I am here to help you,” she cooed, pulling out some healing cream.

“What are you doing here? You could get in massive trouble Addison.”

“I called the Royal Pack and informed them of the mistreatment, either way I am going to die Emmeline. I would rather die knowing I did something good with my life.” She turned Emmeline around and carefully applied the cream to all the injuries. “The Royal Pack are going to come here and check out the tip I gave them. We are going to get out of this Emmeline.”

“How were you able to get a phone?” Addison looked down. Sadness and guilt covered her face.

“I cheated on my future mate Em, I-” she burst out crying and Emmeline immediately hugged her tightly. She began rocking Addison back and forth, trying to comfort her as much as possible. “He’s going to reject me and I am going to be stuck here forever.”

“No you won’t. Does Alpha know that the Royal Pack is coming?” Addison shook her head. “Then we need to piss off our Alpha like we’ve never pissed him off before. The second we hear anything about them being close we need to break something or anything Addison.”

The days slowly mashed together and Emmeline couldn’t even remember what month it was. There had been no word or visit from the Royal Pack and the girls were slowly losing hope. Their routined life had no change or excitement at all until, “Alpha! You won’t believe this! The Royal Pack just crossed our borders, they said they need to talk to you!” Emmeline and Addison immediately smile at one another.

“Tell everyone to get to the foyer, we need everyone to be in place!” The Alpha said, arising from his chair. “You too, mutts”

Emmeline and Addison followed the Alpha out to the foyer. Once the majority of the pack was stuffed into the reasonable large foyer, Emmeline took her chance. She picked up the Alpha’s favourite vase and dropped it to the ground. Pieces flew everywhere and it immediately caught the attention of the Alpha who had Emmeline in a choke hold within seconds. “How dare you, you slut!” He threw her across the room and into the wall. He grabbed a fistful of her hair and brought her face in line with his, “I give you food and a bed and all you do for me in destroy my thing!”

“f**k you!” Emmeline spat. The Alpha kicked her in the stomach and she let out an ear piercing scream.

“Well, we have all the evidence we need,” another powerful voice said from the front door. The Alpha dropped Emmeline, his jaw wide opened. Addison quickly ran to Emmeline’s side. “Mine,” the man mumbled. Addison quickly turned her eyes towards him.

“Yours,” she mumbled.

“Oh really mutt? Your his are you? Well then, why don’t you tell him who took your virginity,” The Alpha spat at Addison.

“She did it to save our lives you inconsiderate bastard,” Emmeline spat. Within seconds the pack was growling at Emmeline and the Beta was choking her.

“That is enough!” The man shouted. “I, Ethan James Parker, Gamma to King Xavier Nathaniel Slade, strip you, Thomas Cook, of your title of Alpha and condemn you to life as a rogue forever.” The Alpha falls to his knees. The whole pack watch in amazement as the Alpha shifts into his wolf and runs out of the front door. Ethan immediately walks over to the girls, several other people walk through the front door and begin asking pack members for information. “Here, let me help you up,” Ethan says, offering a hand to both girls.

Addison and Emmeline were both carefully pulled to their feet. “Are you okay Em?” Addison quickly grabbed her friends arm, stabilizing her.

“I am fine Addison,” she mumbled with tears falling from her eyes.

“Hey, it’s okay. You’re free. He doesn’t control you anymore,” Addison said, wrapping Emmeline in a hug.

“We’re free,” Emmeline sniffs.
