Alpha's Pet

chapter 10

Axton

I opened my eyes to the brown cherry wood of my desk. must have fallen asleep while waiting for my second in command to report back.

Groaning I rubbed my eyes and leaned back in my office chair. Glancing at the window to see it was getting dark out, I must have been out for a few hours. Sighing I got to my feet and left the office heading to the master bedroom.

As I walked in I noticed how empty my bed seemed, standing in the doorway I thought of how nice it would be to see my little mate curled up in bed in a little bundle or perhaps dressed in some exotic lingerie waiting for my return. I couldn't help the small shudder of pleasure that coursed through my body at the mere thought.

Snapping back to reality I shook my head and growled, I needed to control myself before I ended up going down there and dragging her to bed myself. Laying in bed on my back i continued to daydream about her, she was very small, most female she wolfs we're 5'8 or taller very rarely we're they any smaller, if I had to guess, she was only about 5'3 with long beautiful black hair small but cute pink little lips and big soft eyes. Her frame was small too with just the right curves.

I glanced down and yup, sure enough, there's a tent in my pants. Growling again I sat up on the bed, gods she didn't even have to be in the same f*****g room, to get me riled up.

Staring at the silk bedding in thought about how uncomfortable it must be to sleep in the dungeon on one of those nasty cots. Not to mention how cold it must be at night. at the thought of my precious mate being in that cell all alone I got out of bed, screw it if my beta was busy I needed to know if she told him anything, if she did I won't hesitate to go down there and bring her to my bed, she could struggle, fight me, insult me I didn't care at least she would be warm. I just want her to be on my side... She may hate my guts for a few days considering she's the daughter of alpha kade but I have plenty of ways to...convince... That woman to bend over.

But if she didn't, I'm not sure what I would do with her, perhaps I would question her myself, seeing as that I'm her mate she should be more willing to speak to me.

Sighing I ran my hand through my hair frustrated by everything, here I am fantasizing about my mate when I had bigger issues at hand, I still needed to find her father and fix up the pack, this place was in shambles...

Kaden didn't seem to care for having anyone in the pack house most of the rooms were empty except for a few pieces of old worn-out furniture here and there, it almost seemed abandoned considering the place's condition...

I ended up scraping most of the furniture left behind and any old clothes, letting whoever needed it as firewood. We were going to have to do some repairs and get all new stuff for those who didn't have any cabins of their own. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy burning all of kades stuff...not that any of it was his, to begin with...

Walking down the hall I stopped and entered my office. I leaned against my desk and mind-linked my beta to meet me in the office, he must have let me sleep after checking on my mate... But I don't need sleep I have so much to do...

I could hear a commotion down the hall and looked up from the desk as the boy that challenged me a few days ago came rushing in. Ethan, I think it was...

"Where's evony!" I already felt irritated enough with everything else that I had to deal with the last thing I needed was to be yelled at by my pack members.

"Who?" i sighed.

"The girl you took three days ago! Where is she!" He angrily shouted.

So evony is her name, I had to regain my focus after learning her name and shook my head. "You mean kades daughter?"

"Don't call her that!" He growled. My mood started to sour by Ethan's attitude as my mind started coming up with different possibilities. Was he a potential lover? Was my mate already in a relationship?

Two of my soldiers came in and grabbed ethan by his arms to restrain him. "Sorry, sir! "

Closing my eyes I shook my head, lover or not I needed to make sure he wasn't going to complicate things. "You don't need to concern yourself with her, is she your girlfriend or something..."

He almost looked baffled for a moment before getting angry again. "No, she's my friend! Why-"

"Good!" I quickly stood up and walked over to help him and my men out the door. "Then there's no need to worry about it, she's under my care you should run home now, im very busy." "Now if you'd both be kind enough to escort ethan here out of the pack house..."

"Wait!-" I shut the door before I had to hear any more from him and sighed. I was kind of relieved he said no to the whole girlfriend thing, that was not another issue I needed right now...

A few moments late there was another knock on my door and I moved back to my chair before answering. "Come in." My beta walked in and sat down in a chair on the other side of the desk.

"Alpha" he addressed me and I looked outside. It was better to speak in the office, the walls would not give way to secrets so easily here.

"I want the details of what she told you, " speaking firmly, internally I hoped she was cooperative but deep down I had a feeling she didn't, she's notorious for being a witch, stubborn, and stuck up, I hated women like that, I would have to teach her, her place. Dethroning her father is only the first step, next would be taking her off whatever petal stool she was on.

"I'm sorry alpha but the girl did not cooperate, do you wish for us to try again?" He stood tall and I gave him a questioning look, us? And what makes him think asking again would help...

Leaning back in the chair I closed my eyes in deep thought, what am I going to do with her, she's my mate, I can't simply threaten her or force the information out of her... If I did she'd never forgive me... I felt overwhelmed and stressed by everything that was going on, perhaps I should just try to ease her into trusting me, I could always seduce her later... If I can at least get a sense of her personality maybe I can turn her to my side...who knows maybe she's just misguided.

I shook my head and focused on the fact she didn't cooperate. "No, there's no point in waiting her out if she's going to be stubborn, it just means we have to move onto phase two."

"What would that be sir?"

I moved away from my desk and looked back at him. "I'll question her myself, if she doesn't give me the answers I want, ill dethrone her from whatever class she's put herself into, once she's on our level I'm sure I will easily be able to convince her to cooperate. " I grinned.

"After all, I am the alpha."

Evony.

By morning I woke up sore, beaten, bruised, and so cold. Not only did I sleep the entire night on the stone floor, but the dungeon was nearly freezing at night, not to mention they splashed me with water so that just added to the ice-cold temperatures. I wonder if I'll freeze to death down here first, after all, winter is coming.

I took a shaky breath, trying to prepare myself, to push myself off the ground, but everything hurt, and my back felt like it was on fire. I cringed and quickly gave up. No, the cold won't kill me, the infection will.

I could hear the door to the basement open and my stomach dropped, they were back already? I can't take another beating. I closed my eyes and tried to steady my breathing. I just needed to remind myself it would all be over soon.

The men who entered approached my cell and unlocked the door, I was petrified and shaking uncontrollably out of fear, if I wasn't so worn out I'm sure id be crying my eyes out, I didn't even want to look up I didn't wanna see their grinning faces as they got ready to beat me again...

I could sense someone get close to me and I bit my tongue to keep from whimpering or making any other sounds that may entice my tormentors to hurt me more, I learned begging and crying gave them thrill and excitement, making beatings longer and much, much worse.

"I know your awake little one." The familiar voice of the alpha caused a chill to run through my body. Was it his turn to hurt me? I opened my eyes and looked up at the man, his glowing yellow irises burned into me.

"Hmm, well this is quite a horrendous state to be left in, look at you your freezing, and smell like...well im not even sure..." He spoke gently and was a bit disgusted. Glancing back at one of the two who beat me yesterday, he asked a question seeming genuinely unsure.

"How long has she been down here?" He was mocking and making fun of me now I could tell.

"Four days sir." The other man spoke and I avoided his gaze.

Alpha axton tsk'ed and ran one hand over his face looking back at me. "Shit."

"Well little one, I know you probably want out of here more than anything so ill make you a deal." He lowered his hand to stroke my cheek and I flinched away expecting to get hit.

He paused for a moment seeming displeased with my reaction. If he wasn't interested in hitting me before then now surely he is.

"Hm... Option one, you save yourself a lot of embarrassment and trouble by telling me the exact location of your father. Option two ill tear your previous life to shreds and make it hell, I don't know what you think might happen if you decide to continue to be stubborn but I promise it won't be pretty... I'm willing to go to any lengths necessary to find your father..."

This was a trick, he knew I would tell him I don't know, if I said so again he would become furious and beat me unconscious, it was better to stay silent and let him know that I won't fight or backtalk him, at least then punishments weren't as bad.

I kept my mouth shut and looked down at the ground showing my submission.

A low growl came from the man crouched above me and I started to shake more. Before squeezing my eyes shut.

"So that's how it is." He spoke quietly.

I braced myself for his attack. He leaned over and flipped me over onto my back, I nearly cried out in pain and was about to move back to my former position of laying on my side but I was hauled off the ground and thrown over his shoulder, I yelped out of shock and pain from his shoulder digging into my side where I have a broken rib. I didn't dare speak or protest of fear he might get angrier at me. I bit back my whimpers of pain and clawed at the back of his shirt as he walked out of the cell and up the stairs.

"Alpha?" The other man asked unsurely.

"Hold my calls and take care of business for the rest of the morning Simon." I gulped hoping whatever he planned to do would be quick, would he take me outside and whip me like my father did?! I wouldn't be able to survive another punishment like that...i was too scared to try and struggle and I knew it would only make things worse, but I don't want to die either.

"Yes alpha." Simon nodded and walked away.

As We started to ascend the stairs up to the second floor, and my nerves started to go haywire, what was he going to do? Throw me off the roof? I looked down the hall towards where he was headed and paled as dread filled my entire being. He was going to do the one thing I feared more than death...

He was going straight for the master bedroom.
