Queen Alpha

Part Two

*Trigger warning: s****l Assault **

Ava took her time getting dressed. Her hair was gently curled and left to cascade down her back, her dress hugged her figure like a glove. She wore matching black heels. She looked herself over in the full length mirror in the hallway leading out into the courtyard where the party had already begun. They had kept her makeup light only highlighting her natural beauty and lining her eyes. She took a deep steading breath before continuing on into the party. She felt as if she had been on edge all day; she couldn’t shake her anxiety of large crowds. 

She casually made her way through the crowds catching glimpses of a few of her pack members who decided to come. She gave them smiles as she made her way to the bar in the farthest corner. She had a fear of large crowds there were too many people who could be hiding among the crowd wishing harm on her family or pack. Her parents had been at a large gathering when they were abused and killed. The killers hid their scents with suppressants so not to be traced. They stabbed her mother between her ribs quickly and quietly with a silver laced blade puncturing her lungs before escaping.  Her father lost control of his inner wolf when his mate died driving him mad with rage. He eventually succumbed to his madness to be with his soul mate. Ava was forced to step into the Alpha role at the age of fifteen. She shook the memory from her thought ten years had passed since becoming alpha. She had refused any courtship knowing most only seeked to use her for power. She rarely attended events like this were others were seeking their soul mates. 

Ava leaned against the bar watching the crowd as she picked at the appetizers as they passed her by on tray held by servers. She smiled kindly at the bar tender as he refilled her glass before he returned to other paterons. She turned her attention to watching the crowd enjoying themselves. 

A large hand snaked around her waist and she felt a broad chest press against her back. Ava let out a low warning growl to the intruder. Her body tensed as the warm body pressed against her harder pinning her to the bar. She felt his nose travel up the nap of her neck. “Alpha” he whispered as he smelt her. 

The man leaned closer to her ear "What is a beautiful woman doing all alone. You’re just inviting company in this dress." The man said softly in her ear. Ava tried to turn and face the man but his arm around her waist kept her pinned to him. His other hand was slowly easy its way up the slit of her dress. A shiver ran up her spine from his touch.

"I don't recall asking for any company." She said through gritted teeth. She tried to catch his scent but all she could smell was an artificial scent he was wearing. The more she stood there the more his smell overwhelmed her senses. “Oh but you did little alpha with your scent and this beautiful neck on view. Makes me want to sink my teeth into you.” He added emphasis by nipping at the curve of her neck.

Ava felt her body reacting to his touch against her own will. A fire was building in her core and spreading through her veins like wildfire. She let out a low moan as her body grinded against his. 

Her crystal blue eyes widened with fear realization hitting, she was going into heat. "I have to go." She used all her strength to push him away enough for her to quickly duck away from him. Her body instantly missed the body heat against it. She picked up speed as she headed towards the door that would take her to her rooms. She could feel the sweat rolling down her neck, her breathing quickening. Before she could reach her sweet escape she was grabbed roughly by the arm and pulled into a dark hallway away from the ballroom. She stumbled in her heels from the sudden movement. 

The man shoved her front roughly against the wall catching her wrists in one hand behind her back. She felt him lean in close, smelling her he let out a groan. "You smell divine. I wonder how you will taste." He pushed his hips into hers she could feel his length pressing against her through their clothes. A needy whine escaped her lips from the contact. 

Ava struggled more to free herself her nails clawing at the man's hands. "Let me go!" She turned her head to glare at the man. He towered over her his eyes were emerald green and hair as white as snow. He had a strong jawline and high cheekbones. “Dragon” she growled at him. 

"Just relax and I will take good care of you little dove." She felt his tongue flick against her neck and heard him cutting the strings to the back of her dress. She felt the fabric loosening and slipping away from her hot skin. Ava began to struggle hard; she swung her leg back and dug the heel of her shoe into his shin. The man let out a painful hiss she took her chance to wrench her hands free. 

His claws scraped against her arms as she pulled away she felt warm blood begin to run down her arms. She turned quickly to face her attacker swinging at him with her claw like nails and she caught his cheek. She saw his eyes turn blood red as she made him bleed. The man grabbed her by the neck digging his claws in just enough to start to make her bleed as he slammed her up against the stone wall. A sickening crack noise echoed through the halls as her head hit the wall. Her vision blurred as her nails furiously scratched at the man's arm only ruining his clothes, her claws not able to penetrate his thick skin. 

"No! No! Please don't do this!" She begged as she gasped for air in his grip. His hand traveled up her inner thigh; she felt his claws tear away her underwear. She kicked her legs at him desperately trying to make contact. She felt a tiny sliver of victory as he moved to close and received a shift kick to his crotch.

“You damn b***h!” He roared, throwing her hard to the stone floor. Ava struggled to scramble to get up her feet caught in her loosened dress causing her to falter. A shift kick to her side sent her tumbling to the floor once again. She felt her ribs cracking. The man stalked towards her, his eyes shifting into slits as she pinned her to the floor with his own body weight. “I will make you mine. You will give me strong heirs.” The sound of her dress ripping echoed in Ava’s ears as he tore at her skirt.

“f**k you” She responded as she threw her elbow back into his face. His large hands grabbed a hold of her hair pulling tightly as blood ran down his nose. He smashed her face against the hard floor pinning it there. Ava let out a pained cry her vision began to fade into darkness as she felt the man ripping away her skirt exposing her lower half to him. She felt pain as he positioned himself behind her. “Good girl” he purred in her ear. 

Suddenly she felt his body weight disappear as darkness consumed her. She could hear footsteps approaching. Ava gave up fighting letting her body go limp on the floor.

"Ava!" Alexandria called out panic laced in her voice.
