Alpha's Muse

Ana rose's POV

I can't let this man take me. If he does, I'll suffer a fate worse than the one I'm living right now if the rumours about him are true but I can't wait around to find out. It is time for me to break out of the shackles of the oppressors that have controlled my life. I can't leave one and get into another.

I had my s**t all figured out in my head. After Ben rejected me and I went on my little run, I concluded that the best thing was to leave the city. I just needed this night to pass.

Ben should have waited at least a day before giving me out to Dean.

We are silently riding to his house in a car but my head is all over the place, calculating what I can do to escape.

It would have been an awkward silence in another situation but I didn't care, I was looking out the window while Dean didn't utter a word. I couldn't tell if he was sleeping or awake because he had those shades on even at night for some reason.

An idea suddenly came to my head and I decided to see it through. It might be terrible, but it is worth a try even if I don't succeed.

"Ahem, sire, I need to pee,..." I turned to him hoping to catch any reaction from him.

"You need to hold it in, it's just an hour's ride..." He said in his deep bass voice like he was reading my mind and expecting me to say something.

"An hour? I can't hold it anymore or I'll soil myself if I wait any longer "

I tightened my thighs together on purpose.

"I can't do it anywhere in the bushes, just stop the car, I don't mind."I was trying to sound desperate and not desperate at the same time.

He went quiet for a few seconds but I didn't give up. I kept shaking my legs like I was pressed to a point where he had no choice but to give in.

"Alright, Phil, pull over please..." The driver stopped the car and I hurried to get down."Make it quick!"

The rest of the convoy also stopped behind us. The driver followed me out of the car and then waited in front of the car to guide me.

It would be hard for me to run away, but I'll try.

I hurried behind a big shrub which covered me as I bent, then crawled slowly till I got into the woods and started running without looking back.

I tried not to make any noise but it was impossible not to do that, especially with the snapping of wood and rustling of dried leaves.

I didn't know if I'd be able to make it or not, but I kept running.

Dean’s Pov

It is no surprise that she tried to escape. I would if I were her too.

Who wants to be with someone who has a bad reputation for him? An Alpha is rumoured to kill his mates by sacrificing them to the moon goddess in exchange for more power and fame, or one is probably cursed to be alone forever.

The rumours are not true though, but the cursed part is true. I am doomed to be alone forever, which is why I distance myself from the affairs of love.

My mates, on the other hand, also bear some burden of my curse.

Two of my previous mates had died from unnatural deaths, which took the biggest toll on me. It made me the monster that I have become.

Now, anytime I find myself with a woman, I distance myself from her as much as possible or try to show them the worst side of me so that both of us will be spared from the whip of my vile curses.

No one needs to fall in love and most of them end up running away. It's the best defence mechanism I've been able to come up with and trust me, it has worked thus far.

I have been given a lot of gifts since I arrived at Stone Haven but I didn't realise anyone would be so cruel as to give me another woman.

Ana Rose must be hated. I wonder what she did to deserve such punishment.

My plan for her wasn't different. I fled her like s**t till she fled. But she didn't even wait to be treated like s**t, I'm hurt. Well, I guess that's the "thank you" I got for saving her life from the monsters who wished to devour her.

My men ran in search of her but I called them back and told them not to bother because I'd take it up with her pack's Alpha, Ben.

I called immediately to let him know that the gift he had given me had escaped and I could hear the fear and disappointment in his voice when he heard it.

He is a complete asskisser and I hate those...I long to see how he'll handle this, knowing that his name is about to be written on my black book.

He promised to do something about it and apologised sincerely. I do not care about his apology. This is an insult to me, so he'll get what's coming to him.
