The hunter's daughter

18

"Are you going to be mated to my sister or do I have to find out who you are mating with?" the Alpha warned him.

"I cannot, I should be rejected as a mate" Reggie said determined.

"Why not?" the Alpha yelled slamming his hand on the desk.

"Because I cannot love her" Reggie admitted.

"The whole mate bond is for you both to fall in love. Are you a human or a werewolf? Only humans need to fall in love before mating" the Alpha yelled not even wanting an answer.

"I believe he's in love with a human" Alyssa interrupted.

"No, I'm not" Reggie lied.

"Not that human, the hunter's daughter? Where the f*** is she? You were supposed to make her a prisoner, she's not in the dungeon, where she belongs. I will make sure to kill her, myself if she has escaped" the Alpha yelled at him.

"She hasn't escaped. She is a slave, a w***e. She's not important" Reggie lied.

"I will make sure she stays a w***e. I will personally make her mine if she's the one you're in love with, Baldrick" the Alpha threatened him.

"She's not. I love no one" Reggie lied.

"She better not be, I will find your w***e, I will hurt her. Unless you give her to me and mate with my sister" the Alpha commanded him.

"No, I cannot mate with your sister" Reggie begged him. The Alpha looked at him angry.

"Well then, I will have to make you tell me who your w***e is and where to find her" the Alpha extended his claws and started to dig them into Reggie.

The Alpha had two of his guards hold Reggie while he started to hurt him. Reggie hoped Monica couldn't feel the pain he was feeling.

"If your w***e is a werewolf, she will feel this" the Alpha said and started slowly slashing Reggie.

Reggie grimaced with the pain but he wouldn't tell the Alpha about Monica. The Alpha tortured him for nearly an hour but Reggie didn't tell him anything. Alyssa almost pitied Reggie but she was hurt by him not wanting to mate with her. Reggie was beaten and sliced badly. He was covered in blood by the time the Alpha finished with him. He was then sent to the packs hospital. He lay there badly injured for the rest of the day. It wasn't until the night he could he return to his phone and try to warn Monica.

Monica had felt sick most of the day. She had tried to scrub herself thoroughly in the shower. It had been cold and she had little soap. She was tired from crying the night before. She tried keeping up the pace at work but stumbled around. She was relieved that the Alpha and his sister weren't at breakfast but she also knew that Reggie wouldn't be there too. She thought she heard shouting from upstairs, where the Alpha was. All the omegas started to gossip and Monica had to listen in to find out what was going on.

"I heard that the delta Baldrick refuses to mate with the Alpha's sister" one of them said between the shouting.

"I also heard that he had mated with a w***e" the other omega answered.

Monica knew that it was because of her that Reggie was being shouted at. She was surprised to be named as a w***e but she knew it wasn't true. There was more shouting and the omegas informed each other what they had heard.

"He has mated with a w***e and he doesn't love Alyssa" one of them said shocked.

"He must be in love with someone else. Did I hear that the w***e might be a human?" the other omega asked.

"No, he's in love with a human. That's why he cannot mate with miss Alyssa" the third omega interrupted them.

There was another loud shout and then a scary silence.

"The Alpha wants to know who Baldrick's in love with. It sounds like he won't tell the Alpha. We could smell her out and be rewarded for finding her, for the Alpha" an omega suggested.

"What would she smell like? A human or a w***e?" one of them joked.

"Both" another joked and they all laughed.

Monica was scared. She knew they would be looking for her. She also knew that Reggie might tell them because he was being beaten. She hoped that she could make it through the shift before they found her. She needed to go to her phone that was on charge in the laundry room. When she got her break, she she went there pretending to get clothes to sew. She got her phone but there weren't any messages. She sent a message to Reggie: Reggie, is everything alright? I heard shouting today and I heard it was Baldrick that the Alpha was yelling at. Please respond so I know you are alright.

Monica sent it but didn't get a reply. She wasn't sure if she could write anything else. He might have his phone on him and they could read it. She didn't want to make it worse for the both of them. Monica tried not to worry about him for the rest of the day. She was still feeling sick and believed that there was something wrong. It wasn't until after the dinner shift that she got a message and she didn't know what was going on.

The message read: Sorry you have the wrong number.This isn't Reggie, it's Baldrick. Yes, I'm alright. Nothing a werewolf can't heal from. You know that as a werewolf. We aren't like a human that we can smell. Best to keep ourselves covered around the neck so we don't smell like anything there. There are plenty of scarves that can be washed in the laundry room. Well, have a nice day. Sorry I can't talk more but I need to keep this number private.

Monica wondered what it meant. She tried to reply but it wouldn't go through. Reggie must have blocked her number. He must have done that to protect her from being discovered. What else did the message mean? Wear a scarf because she was human and they could smell her. She grabbed one from the pile and wore it around her neck. It covered her mark and her human smell. Monica was in deep thought about what else the message meant. At least he was alright, he had to go by his real name. She was the only one that called him Reggie. She hoped that Reggie wouldn't keep her blocked for too long. She knew that she would be discovered if he hadn't blocked her. She also hoped he would unblock her when it was safe again.
