***Blair's POV***
I'm not sure how long I have been pacing in my room, but my legs are getting tired. Why was I suddenly feeling guilty? I mean, the b***h deserved it. She stole my man. "You know she's his mate. How could you betray your pack? I'm disgusted with you. If it weren't because I'm your wolf, I would've left by now." I stopped dead in my tracts. Did my wolf talk to me?
"Kelly? Is that you? I haven't heard from you for a while. I thought you left me." It went silent again.
"You know that can't happen. I haven't spoken to you because your behavior disgusts me." The pain I felt at hearing those words was indescribable. Is that why my mate rejected me? Memories of that night flooded my mind.
Flashback
We're having another pack visiting today. I think it's for a peace treaty or some s**t. I'm texting when I walk into what feels like a brick wall. "Watch whe-" I practically choked on my words when I looked into his eyes. Those forest green eyes had me stuck in place. He smelled like cinnamon and pine cones. If I weren't careful, I would probably start drooling.
"You might want to close your mouth." He said this while picking me up from the ground. His voice made me wet and my knees weak.
"Oh, uh uh, thank you." F*ck I find my mate and I can't stop myself from stammering like an i***t. It was then that I noticed he was holding me close to his chest. "I'm Blair, by the way."
"Oh, I know who you are." His voice was not filled with affection that someone would have towards their mate. He sounded harsh and disgusted. He carried me up to where the guest alphas' rooms were. Sensing my confusion, he looked down at me and said. "I'm the alpha of the Crimson River pack."
"You're....you're" Once again, I was stammering like an i***t.
"Yes, I'm alpha Hunter Turnner." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I'm mated to one of the most sadistic alphas known. Before I could say anything else, I felt his lips crash into mine. Our lips fit together like puzzle pieces. Deepening the kiss, he slides his tongue across my bottom lip, asking for entrance, and I instantly allow it in.
Before I knew it, we were undressing each other, and my legs were around his waist. He lifted me like I was weightless and gently laid me down on the bed. Pausing for a second, his eyes scanned down my now naked body. I'm not very curvy, and my b****t aren't the biggest. While he was admiring me, I took the opportunity to do the same. He had the body of a Greek god, perfectly sculpted becks with an eight pack to match it. His muscular abdomen went down into a defined V shape. My eyes landed on his d**k, and it was massive, having both length and girth. "How is that supposed to fit inside of me?" I didn't realize that I said it out loud until I heard him smirking at me.
"I'm surprised that's your major concern." His tone was void of any emotion. "From what I've been told, you do this quite frequently, especially with different high-ranking pack members." My face paled, f*ck Brian told him the same lie he told everyone else.
"Wait! Let me explain, please! Did a guy name, Brian, tell you? Because it's not true, he and I got drunk one day, and he came on to me, but I rejected him. Because I wanted to wait for my mate." He had a bored expression on his face.
Before I could say anything, he slammed into me, pushing his d**k into me without warning. He didn't give me a chance to adjust to his size. It hurt. I felt like he was going to split me in half. I guess he could feel my pain through the mate bond. He stopped and waited. Once he knew I wasn't in pain, he thrust into me. I always thought about my first time having s*x with my mate; he'd make love to me. But right now, I could tell his feelings were not involved. But I couldn't lie to myself. It felt amazing. The room became engulfed with our scents. I don't know how many times I climaxed, but as soon as he was about to reach his, he pulled out and released it on my stomach. I opened my eyes and looked at my stomach, and I heard him clearing his throat. "Clean yourself up."
"Oh, thank you." My voice came out sounding horse as I had spent goddess knows how long moaning and screaming his name. As I began wiping his sperm off of my stomach, I could hear him getting dressed. Why was he leaving so soon? Isn't he going to mark me? I guess he could sense my confusion.
"Every w*ore I've f*cked has the same sob story you told me. I don't believe sh*t you have to say." His words hit me like silver bullets. He starts to walk away but suddenly stops in his footsteps. "Oh, I forgot something." Instantly, my heartbeat increased. Maybe he changed his mind and wants to stay. "I, Hunter Tunner Alpha of the Crimson River pack, reject you, Blair Ward as my mate and luna." As soon as he finishes his sentence, my chest feels like my heart is being ripped out, and I hyperventilate.
"You really thought I would take you as my mate? I guess everyone can have beauty and brains. Maybe you'll get chosen as someone's mate. But for me? I have a reputation to maintain, and having you as my mate would only spoil it." He stood there for a moment like he was expecting me to say something.
Clearing my throat, I tried to stop my voice from breaking. "I, Blair Ward of the Silver Moon pack, accept your rejection." My heart broke, even more when he didn't show any reaction to me accepting his rejection. It was like he never cared. I'm not sure when he left the room. It felt like the world was falling to sh*t, and I couldn't move. My wolf was howling and whimpering in agony and heartbreak. I refuse to be rejected and hurt. I will have a mate that's an alpha, even if I have to steal him from someone.
END OF FLASHBACK
I stood frozen in place in my room. It still hurts whenever I think about it. Looking down, I realized I was crying. "See, Blair, that day was when I retreated to the back of your mind because it hurt too much. Now see, you're about to put your future alpha and luna through similar pain." I stood there, stunned at what my wolf said. Did I turn into what I hate?
"Kelly, please don't leave me ever again. Even if it gets me killed or kicked from the pack, I will right my wrongs."
I could hear the sound of my shoes throughout the hall as I made my way to the alpha's office. My palms started to sweat as I approached the office door, and my heart raced. I'm so screwed, I thought to myself as I raised one shaky hand to knock on the door. Before I can make contact with the door, it swings open to Alpha Ryder, looking pissed off and Alpha Blake looking just as angry.
"I know you know you're not supposed to go to an alpha's office unannounced. But from the nervous look in your eyes, accelerated heartbeat, and the sweat forming on your forehead, I can tell it's something important." He snaps his finger before pointing towards a chair. "Sit, and whatever you have to say, it better be good. " His voice was laced with venom.
I quickly sit in the chair and take a deep breath to calm my nerves. "I know where Amber is and who has her." My voice cracked at the end. The tension in the room seemed to have increased as it fell deadly silent. The tension in the room was noticeable.
"What did you just say?" Ryder said through gritted teeth. The rage coming from Alpha Blake and Ryder was immense. I'm not sure who was more enraged. Suddenly, Ryder had me pinned to the wall with his hand around my throat, slowly squeezing. I tried to claw at his hand to free myself from his grasp, but it was useless. I started to see black dots when he dropped me. My knees buckled under me as I fell, gasping for oxygen.
"Ryder! Don't kill her. We need her to tell us what she knows." Ryder released a deep growl rumbles the room. I gulp and take a deep breath to soothe my nerves. I tell them everything starting from the beginning.
***Ryder's POV***
It's taking everything in me not to rip Blair's throat out and watch her lifeless body fall to the floor. "Ryder, control yourself. She might have the information that we need to get Amber back." My dad spoke linked me. When she finished talking, the room fell silent. I looked at my dad, and he seemed to be deep in thought, and Blair looked like she was going to faint. I watched as my father's eyes glazed over. He's probably mind linking someone. Not too long later, two of our pack warriors come in and escort Blair out.
Alpha Blake had a calm expression on his face, but the rage flowing from him was suffocating. "Kevin, look into the information she told us and send our best trackers to scope out the location." He nods his head and exits the room.
"So, what are we going to do now? We can't just sit around and wait." I'm trying to hide the panic and anger in my voice, but the thought of losing my mate terrifies me.
"I know that. But if what she said was true, it means he has become feral, which makes him even more dangerous. Although, if he's still obsessed with your mother, that'll work in our favor."
"So, what's the plan?" He lets out a deep sigh while rubbing his face.
"You're not going to like it." Hearing him say that, I felt my heart drop. I've been on a few rescue missions, but none of them were of this magnitude. In my stomach, the pit I felt told me I would not like this.
