Emily
Discomfort.
I opened my eyes to see that I was trapped. I hate the feeling. The feeling of being left alone and encased in a cage of wood had me feeling helpless. I rolled over and pulled the thick hair that was covering my face out of the way. I pulled against the thick roots that encased me with all of my strength. But it was no help.
Stupid tree.
Giving up, I sat in the nature made cell and cried... until...
A distant echo of my name finally reached my ears.
"Emily.."
"Emilyyy"
"Emily!"
eyes, while a whimper escaped my lips.
"Wake up Emily... You were just dreaming. That's all."
With his hand reaching for my face, I began crying as he attempted to settle me down.
He pulled me into his chest and asked, "What happened in that dream of yours small girl?" By this point I was sobbing.
"I-It was awful Alpha."
"I was t-trapped. A-And I couldn't get out!"
"Your safe now Emily." He massaged the spot behind my hair in efforts to calm me down.
"And you can call by my name." He whispered.
Oh.
After I settled down, I pulled back from his chest and looked up at him. He played with the ends of my hair and sighed. "Its 8 in the morning, lets do this hair of yours yeah?"
I cracked a small smile and nodded my head yes. My hair was still super soft from what ever he put in my hair last night. It smells good, but I don't know what it's called though.
"How do you want it?" He asked. His voice was very rough and deep. He sounded tired.
"Braids? I-I forgot how"
He nodded his head and went to work on my head. He wet my hair and part it into two sections. He put more of the creamy stuff in my hair and brushed out all the tangles. It didn't hurt at all. When I do it , It always hurts.
When he was finally done, my braids traveled down to my breasts. I loved them.
“Thank you Alarick!”
“you're welcome love.” he whispered.
He stood up and grabbed a toothbrush from an unopened package and handed it to me.
“Do You remember how to brush your teeth?” I nodded my head yes and grabbed the toothpaste. Although I never really brushed my teeth while I was out by myself, Zamora always made sure that I kept my teeth clean with a special potion she made. It was gross.
I steadied the toothpaste over my toothbrush and I accidentally squeezed the tube too hard. This caused the toothpaste to go everywhere. I huffed in frustration. Why did I always have to make a mess?
“Oops, I-I messed up.”
“It’s okay, let me do it.”
He squeezed the paste on the toothbrush and handed it to me. While he cleaned up my mess, I began to brush my teeth.
He looked at me with amused eyes.
“How did you take such good care of your teeth while you were by yourself for all these years? “
I spit the toothpaste out and rinsed the sink out so he would not have to clean up after me again.
“Z-Zamora made potions to he-”
Suddenly out of nowhere, a loud Bell like noise cut me off mid-sentence. Alarick noticed me flinch, but he reassured me that it was just the doorbell. why did it have to be so loud?
Alarick gave me a hesitant look before leaving. “When your done, come downstairs for breakfast.”
I just nodded. I think I remember where that is. I don’t know.
Alarick
I Trudged my way downstairs to answer the door. When I opened it, big arms engulfed me into a tight hug. I recognized them immediately.
“Get off me Dad.” I pushed him off of me, but he just laughed.
“You thought you could hide from the Kingdom, didn't you? “
I rolled my eyes and looked at him knowingly. “Michael and my gamma. They're sorting everything out while I'm gone. You obviously know this or else you wouldn't be here. So, what do you really want?”
He laughed it off like everything was okay and continued to change the subject.
“Once the council finds out that their Lycan King isn’t in office there will be conflict.”
I chuckled quietly.
“And when was the last time I gave a f**k about what counsel said. “
I began to hear Emily soft voice calling my name. s**t, she was looking for me.
“A-Alarick?”
My father looked at me with a grin on his face.
“Oh , so you found your mate Alarick! So this is what it's all about, this is the reason you left the Kingdom. For your mate? Well, are you going to let me meet my daughter in law? "
Emily
When I was finished with my hygiene, I walked out of the room like Alarick had told me and tried to find my way down to the kitchen. When I came out, I was just met with a long confusing hallway.
“A-Alarick?”
I called out to him but there was still no response as I walked down the stairs, I yelled a little louder for him. I was getting scared. Did he leave me? No. Certainly not. I continued my journey, this time down a flight of stairs.
“A-Alpha?”
I then heard the voices of two men coming from what I assumed was the kitchen. When I walked in, I saw Alarick standing by a big burly man. He just a little shorter than him.
A whimper escaped my lips, and I panicked and stumbled backwards.
“It’s okay Em.”
When he rushed over towards me, I quickly hid myself behind my mate. He looked scary. One of his eyes had a large scar running from his eyebrow , through his eye and down his cheek. His frame was solid and he had a big beard and intimidating eyes. He looked terrifying.
he looked down at me with disgust in his eyes. That just made him more scary.
“This is my father Emily… He was just leaving.”
He gave his father a glare.
His father just returned the glare but with the smirk.
“No. I'd really like to stay. I want to meet the mother of my future grandchildren. It would be rude of me to just leave.”
Alarick scowled at the man.
“no, after I get Emily situated, you will be leaving.”
Alarick's father rolled his eyes. And sat down at the table.
I sat across from the strange man at the table and watched as my mate prepared me food. From the corner of my eye I could sense the man staring at me. I could feel his energy. Nothing but hate. That's all that I could sense.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
What did I do? What did I do to deserve so much hate from everyone?
I absolutely hate it here.
Alarick was done with food. And although the thought of him cooking for me was genuinely nice. But what he put in front of me, made me want to throw up. Cooked meat. I shook my head violently and gently pushed the plate away. I wish I would've said something earlier so he wouldn't know wasted all the food but I was too caught up in my own thoughts.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m sorry. I can’t eat this. Cooked animal.” I explained quietly.
I really didn’t want his father to hear how ungrateful I might of just sounded.
A few tears ran down my face.
“What an unusual diet. And white tears?” His father criticized me out loud.
“Disgusting.” He whispered.
In a rude tone he continued, “you do smell unusual, are you human?”
I tried to ignore him. Alarick tried to settle me down by asking me what I wanted to eat instead. He looked at his father and it looked like he wanted to kill him.
“Emily tell me exactly what you want and I'll get it for you.”
“Berries?”
“OK love.”
Alarick
While Emily ate her breakfast, I called my father upstairs to my office to talk.
“Alarick, why do you break tradition and stay mated with her?”
“I cannot control who I am mated with father. If you don't like it I have no problem with you leaving.”
“We can always go to the witches Alarick , the witches can get the bond terminated.”
“No! As soon as I laid my eyes on Emily, I knew she was mine and no one would ever take her from me.”
He pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at me. “are you saying You love that… thing? What even is she?”
“Surely you can see that she is too dark to even bear your children Alarick. They would surely ruin our blood line and come out inbred looking. They would not be pure. “
I couldn't take any more of this disrespect. Not just me but my Wolf as well. I could feel Vlad scratching, and biting, in order to get out. He felt the urge that he needed to kill what was in front of him.
My eyes turned pure black and I have shifted. Vlad took complete control over my body.
VLAD
Cackling evilly, I grabbed my human sperm donor by the neck. The once almighty King now face death by the hands of his own son.
I laughed viciously, as my class formed a hard grip around his neck period of course is wouldn't kill him because he himself was an Alpha but it be a great reminder of how and tolerant I am when it comes to disrespect.
I cut through flesh.
Blood ran down my arms and dripped onto the floor from my elbows.
The weak man gurgled hopelessly in my grasp. I'm certain that he would never make this mistake again.
I feel bad for the maids that have to clean this mess up. It would have to be quick I believe Emily is probably squeamish when it comes to blood.
Cute.
