Taken To His Territory
849 Words
The wind rushed past us as Alpha Lucien moved through the forest at an impossible speed.
I clung to his shirt, my fingers tightening with every powerful leap he took.
My heart wouldn’t stop racing.
Not from fear alone…
But from him.
“Put me down,” I said, though my voice lacked its usual strength.
He didn’t even glance at me.
“No.”
I frowned. “You can’t just take me wherever you want.”
A faint smirk touched his lips.
“Watch me.”
I opened my mouth to argue again… but stopped.
Because deep down, I knew—
I couldn’t fight him.
Not like this.
Not when my body was still weak from the rejection.
Not when his presence alone made my wolf restless.
The forest slowly began to change.
The air felt different.
Heavier.
Stronger.
I could feel it.
Another pack’s territory.
My breath hitched.
“Lucien…” I whispered.
He hummed softly in response.
“You crossed into another pack’s land.”
“I know.”
That was it.
No hesitation. No concern.
As if rules didn’t apply to him.
As if nothing could stop him.
Soon, lights appeared in the distance.
A massive pack house came into view—larger than any I had ever seen.
Guards stood at the entrance, their eyes sharp and alert.
The moment they saw him, they immediately lowered their heads.
“Alpha.”
Lucien didn’t slow down.
Didn’t respond.
He walked straight past them like a king returning to his throne.
And somehow…
Still holding me in his arms.
My cheeks burned slightly.
“This is embarrassing,” I muttered.
That got his attention.
He glanced down at me, amusement flickering in his eyes.
“You prefer I drop you?”
I quickly shook my head. “No!”
A low chuckle escaped him.
And just like that, my embarrassment deepened.
He pushed open the large doors and stepped inside.
The interior was even more impressive—elegant, powerful, intimidating.
Just like him.
Servants and pack members moved around, but the moment they saw us—
They froze.
Their eyes widened.
Whispers spread instantly.
“Who is she…?”
“He’s carrying her…”
“A female?”
I swallowed hard, my grip on his shirt tightening.
This was bad.
Very bad.
Lucien ignored them all.
He walked up a grand staircase without a second glance, heading straight for what looked like the upper floor.
“Lucien,” I said quietly.
He didn’t stop.
“Lucien,” I repeated, a bit louder.
“What?” he replied.
“This isn’t right.”
That made him pause.
Slowly, he turned his head, his gaze meeting mine.
“And what exactly isn’t right?”
“Everything,” I said.
“You bringing me here… claiming things that don’t make sense…”
My voice softened.
“I don’t even know what’s happening.”
For a moment…
He just looked at me.
Really looked at me.
Then—
He walked into a large room and gently set me down on a soft bed.
The sudden loss of contact made my heart feel strangely empty.
I quickly pushed that feeling away.
“This is your room,” he said.
“I’m not staying here.”
“Yes, you are.”
I glared at him. “You don’t get to decide that.”
He stepped closer.
Slow. Calm. Dangerous.
“Don’t I?”
My breath caught.
The air between us shifted again.
Heavy.
Charged.
“I’m not yours,” I said, even though my voice wasn’t as strong as I wanted it to be.
His eyes darkened.
In two steps, he was right in front of me.
Too close.
Way too close.
“Say that again,” he murmured.
My heart pounded.
“I’m not—”
He suddenly leaned in, his hand pressing lightly against the bed beside me, trapping me in place.
“You felt it too,” he said quietly.
I froze.
“Felt what?”
“The bond.”
My breath hitched.
I tried to look away—but he didn’t let me.
His fingers gently tilted my chin back toward him.
“Don’t lie to me.”
My chest rose and fell quickly.
Because the truth was—
I had felt it.
That strange pull.
That connection I couldn’t explain.
But—
“That’s impossible,” I whispered.
“I already had a mate.”
His expression hardened slightly.
“Had.”
The word hit differently.
Sharp. Final.
Before I could respond, a knock suddenly came from the door.
Lucien didn’t move.
“Enter.”
The door opened slowly, revealing a woman dressed elegantly.
She stepped inside, her eyes immediately landing on me.
And the look on her face—
Was anything but friendly.
“Alpha,” she said softly.
But her gaze never left mine.
“Who is she?”
The question hung in the air.
Lucien didn’t hesitate.
“She’s mine.”
My heart skipped.
The woman’s expression darkened instantly.
And in that moment—
I knew.
This place…
Was about to become another battlefield.
