The Human Alpha

It wasn't my fault

"Silence!" He thundered and everywhere quieted down. His eyes rested on her as he continued to speak.

"Having heard it all, I can't go against your wish" He said and her heart jumped to her throat. He was going to kill them. He broke his part of the deal. He broke it all.

"They shall both be hanged" He concluded.

"Cheater! Liar! You broke your promise. You went back on your promise" She roared and all eyes turned to her.

"I hate you. I hate all of you. You will pay I will make sure you all pay. You will shed blood for every tear you made me shed. You will suffer for every pain you caused me. Your lives would be taken a thousand times for snatching ours. A human will be your ruin, I swear to you. Even if I have to come back a thousand times to make it happen, I will. Your women and children will pay for your wrong. If it doesn't happen in this life, it will in the next. Laura will come back for you all" She yelled.

"Seize them" He ordered. The soldiers pulled her mother roughly. The fear in her mother's eyes fuelled her anger. She didn't want to die but she could do nothing. She couldn't do anything to save her mother.

They seized her as well and lead them out of the palace. People we're already gathered outside like they were just waiting for the King to order their execution. They threw things at them. Stones, chairs, food items, everything.

When they finally got there, they were both sent up. A soldier was already on top to place the ropes round their necks. Tears ran down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry, mom. I'm so sorry" She sobbed as the crowd threw hateful words and objects at them. She couldn't even get her mom's answer as the lever was pulled and the planks fell.

Bodies of both mother and child dangled in the air. She sees the light becoming dimmer and dimmer ad it was all over for both of them, struggling and gasping for her breath her legs kicking in the air, she suddenly jerks up and gasped. It was a dream. It was all a dream. Had her life been so miserable than she'd started dreaming of death?.

She didn't want to die. At least not by hanging. Her eyes scanned her environment. The same old cell. The dark stinking place that reminded her of every wrong decision she took in life.

She looked just the way her mother had in the dream. Battered and dirty. She stood weakly and the chains dangled after her. Tears built up in her eyes. This wasn't the life she choose for herself.

It wasn't the life she was supposed to have. She hurt him. She ruined him. She made him sink deeper into his darkness. She had a choice and she chose the world over him. She destroyed the pieces of him she managed to gather.

'I, Laura of the moon pack, hereby reject you as my mate'. She remembered the words clearly.

'What makes you think I'd choose you over them? Who chooses insanity over sanity?'. Tears streamed down her cheeks as her defiant voice screamed in her head.

'I'm not yours, tell your moon goddess she made a terrible mistake'.

She regretted it all. She regretted everything. She let her stubbornness ruin her. Now he was gone and she wasn't sure he was coming back. Earlier when fate turned her back on him, he'd retreated into the towers to hide his pain from the world. Now she'd hurt him, he had probably left for good.

"Please Eric...forgive me. Give me another chance to make things right" She sobbed holding to the bars. There was no one. Not a single soul outside her cell. She was hungry and weak. She couldn't even remember how she ended up there.

All she could think was how perfect her life would have been. How happy she was ten months ago. Then she heard heavy footsteps. All she could make out from the dark was the tall built figure advancing towards her cell.

As he got closer, her heart pounded. It couldn't be. It wasn't possible. Those fierce amber eyes that she once fell in love with. He stared at her while she trembled.

"E...Eric?" She stuttered but he kept staring with the same emotionless face he had when she first met him. Emotions and memories flashing between them as they stared at each other.

SOME MONTHS AGO

They run through the local market bumping and apologizing to people. They knew exactly what they were doing. A grin settled on her lips as she made it home. She opens the door carefully ad they both get in, the two lovebirds did what they did together and this time, they had made a very huge catch, Laura and Elvin lock themselves in Laura’s bedroom.

She emptied her pockets and clothes. Rings, bracelets, money, earrings and much more. This was going to make a big day for her tomorrow. The jewelries alone could cover her rent and the rest for her to atted the ceremony with the love of his life.

“You will really look beautiful with this my love” Elvin says as he tries one of the necklaces on her.

“Stop with that already, I prefer the diamond ones” She says as she picks the other necklace from the table but they both hear footsteps from outside and just as usual, Elvin jumps through the back window knowing it was Laura’s mom who did not like him at all.

“Tomorrow when the sun rises, don’t be late” he says and kisses her and runs disappearing through the houses. Laura opens the door and realizes a puppy outside, it was not her mom, she stands there for a while gets in and gets some food for it and it disappears again. She stays at the house for long waiting for her.

She checked the time and sighed. Her mother was yet to be back. She left by dawn and now it was almost dusk. Where the hell was she?

"I'm so hungry. She should have been back to make dinner. That woman, I wonder what mischief she's up to this time" She sighed.

She made it to the kitchen and prepared dinner. After setting the table, her mother was still yet to be back. She began to panic. This was highly unusual. Her mother would never stay out this late no matter how busy she was.

Grabbing her coat, she stepped out of the house to go in search of her. She didn't have to look far cause her mom came running to her.

"Mom?" She called in surprise.

"Run, Laura. Run!" She yelled running towards her. Run?. Why did she have to run? Who was chasing them?. That was when she saw the fierce blue eyes. It wasn't one or two or three. Whatever was chasing them was huge. She took to her heels with her mom behind her.

Soon, she heard only her footsteps. She looked back but her mom wasn't behind her. She stopped immediately.
