Mindless

::Drakes' POV::

    Days have passed and the wolf in me was literally like a zombie. I couldn't sense any will or life in his spirit. I had hoped it was because we were still being tortured 'till this day. Terry had a huge whimper a few days ago. It wasn't the endurance whimpering from Aaron's spell. But rather, something far more valuable to him was taken away.

    Worst of all, he did not want to talk to me or let me in on what was wrong with him. He just seemed like he had lost all hope.

    I had to still fight for my mate. It was the only thing that has been keeping me sane. But, I am extremely exhausted, but I had faith that the pack will catch on and do something about this.

    Knowing the fact that I am risking the lives of my pack members or warriors was a selfish part of me. But, I didn't know it was going to be this way. I just want to go back home. Back to Sarah.

    I heard hurried steps coming from the spiral staircase at the door. It sounded excited as it made its way into my cellar.

    To my biggest dismay it had to be the annoying b***h.

    Megan wore a smug look on her face, one that had always irritated me. Her whole being was generally annoying. 

    She saw my reaction and sarcastically put a shocked look on her face and placed a palm on her chest, ''Why such an angry face?'' she then giggled out of that fake expression.

    I couldn't growl anymore, snarling or just giving her any kind of attention seemed to fuel her motives even more.

    So I just stayed silent and gave her the coldest glare.

    ''Baby, I've got some news!'' she squealed.

    ''I don't wanna hear it.'' I stubbornly turned my head away from her. Damn, I really hate this woman.

    ''Awe don't be like that honey,'' she swayed her hips side to side as she made her way towards me. I was still looking away, but I couldn't help what I caught in my peripheral.

    She was hiding something behind her back. One of her hands were giving off her expressions while another was just resting behind her.

    I still didn't want to know.

    ''Don't ignore me!'' she cupped my face to look straight into her eyes, she then softened her face, ''Awe, you're too damn cute to stay mad at for long.''

    This b***h was a psycho! An obsessed psycho!

    ''As I was saying,'' she swished away from me, ''A little birdie has flown in to deliver a favorable message.''

    Like I would care.

    ''It seems like the b***h has finally been rid of.''

    She had to be referring to Sarah!

    Of course as she realized this had peaked my interest her smug look became a smirk, ''Oh? Now you're interested?''

    ''Shut up and tell me what happened. She better not be hurt.'' I could barely hold back a massive yell.

    ''Oh I know for sure that she had gotten hurt.'' she scoffed into her fingers on her lips, like the true snob she was.

    ''f**k you.'' was all I could mutter.

    ''Did you know Gilbert died?'' she laughed like it was funny.

    Gilbert, Gilbert... I tried to think hard into my memory.

    ''Yeah when birdie saw the look on Adam's face and when his irises changed to white it was a ball!''

    Adam! Gilbert was Adam's mate! I faintly remembering him from that one occasion.

    ''What did you do.'' I was mumbling with hot breaths.

    ''I don't have to do anything anymore. See, my job was to get rid of the fake luna so I could have you all to myself.'' Megan sneered.

    ''Where is she?!'' I demanded.

    ''Oh and get this!'' she ignored my bellow, ''Derrick had a thing for that witch and ended up being an additional help to our plan.''

    What?!

    ''See... the thing is, he loved your so called fake mate.'' she blabbed on, ''But got his revenge soon after.''

    She seemed to be entertaining herself, but I was gathering intel while doing so.

    ''Unfortunately birdie told me that Damien stepped in and did a clean up.'' her smirk turned into a frown, ''That workaholic bastard is too noble for my taste.'' 

    So Damien was taking charge while I was gone. But still, I was worried about Sarah's well being!

    ''The whole thing about you being locked up also stirred up some drama.'' she sneered once again, ''You know the drill, no alpha, no luna, and a whole reputation on the line.''

    This had only meant one thing! War! 

    All those tribes and territories I had conquered for the king were coming back to bite me!

    This whole f*****g scheme was made from that measly bastard of a king! He had used me to do his dirty work, and now I'm in too deep to get out of it.

    ''So yeah,'' Megan steered towards the door, ''How's your wolf? Is he feeling lonely?'' 

    ''None of your damn business b***h!'' But I couldn't deny that she was poking daggers at me. She seemed to know exactly how to piss me off.

    ''But birdie said that the luna is nowhere to be found. As we speak, your troops are scrambling for answers and prepping for war at the same time. Oh what fun would it be to see the infamous Red Crimson Pack fall.

    I felt my aura leaking whatever energy I had left. s**t, she was intentionally draining my spirit!

    ''Good riddance though,'' she laughed by herself, ''That omega slut deserved to die.''

    I felt my body lunge forward. But I felt the restraints pull me back as per usual.

    Damn I hated these things.

    But the moist disgusting feeling I felt growing in my gut was becoming overpowering. And then King Aaron had opened the cellar door.

    ''How's my favorite pawn?'' he started to position himself to do his daily does of torture to me.

    ''Oh no need to tell him.'' Megan flicked a dismissive palm, ''I already did that for you.''

    The king scoffed, ''You are evil as much as you are beautiful.'' and then turned back to me.

    ''It's not true...'' I shook any incoming feedback from anyone and myself.

    ''I felt Aaron lift my chin with his stubby fingers. He looked me dead in the eye, ''It's true.''

    The coldness of his stare traveled into the back of my mind. Terry got hurled back with full impact. But, he refused to fight. He didn't want to, not now, or ever.

    Terry! I tried to snap him out of it. I need you right now. We can't give up!

    I did not receive a response, but I did hear a dismissive stubborn sigh. I didn't have any strength left in me to fight back anymore!

    ''Based on intel,'' the king turned his head to Megan, ''The luna of the Red Crimson Pack no longer exists.''

    What? No longer exist?! Sarah? No longer...

    I felt my whole body drop as the reality had set in. My wolf wasn't cooperating with me, and the king wasn't lying at all. 

    Was she really gone? Now way. I wanted to try to think of a possibility of any positives, but without avail.

    My head sulked down and my soul was drained. The chills of sadness traveled from the top of my mind all the way down my spine. My body did not want to fight anymore. And with the news I had just received, I don't think it is worth it anymore.

    I was just a royal pawn. I should have known my place! Me? Get happiness? Ridiculous! I was meant to be a war machine like how Damien was. Mate? Do I really no longer have one? What's the point in all that I've accomplished? 

    I've been obedient, but the one time I decide to stray away all of WHAT I EARNED is being taken away! How was this fair at all? 

    Because it isn't.

    I was so blinded by my hatred for my father that I hadn't realized I fell into one of the most harshest influencers. To be used, to feel so helpless, to have no hope in anything definitely brought my esteem at an all time low.

    Sarah wasn't anywhere, maybe she had died. Nothing else in this world matters right now. I'll just have to live with the fact that I am what I am. An alpha blood line supreme chaos machine.

    ''What's that look in your eye?'' the bastard asked. Sounded more like a snide comment.

    ''I always get what I want.'' he whispered into my ear, ''I don't have to know who you deal with to get rid of them. But there is one more that I am going to consider having a look at.''

    Who was he talking about?

    ''That disrespectful b***h who thought she could stand up to me.'' he released my face, ''So her name is Ronnie? Veronica? Scarlett?''

    My eyes widened with total anger, he was after everything I held dear! He already did what he wanted to do with my love. I can't risk losing anyone else.

    ''Don't... please.'' I softly begged in regret. I cannot do this anymore, there was no point.

    ''Oh? So are you willingly going to give in to me?'' he positioned his hand on my forehead.

    ''f**k you. I hope you rot in hell.'' I spat at him.

    But to my reality I had been given no other choice. My wolf refused to fight, my mate is long gone! My position and reputation is now at stake. That's the only thing I was able to have for my own.

    I felt my eyes roll back and darkness had overcome my whole being. The pain of discipline began to pulse through me. I can hear his faint voice of his deal.

    ''You are to be on my command under what rule?''

    ''If I ever saw her again.'' I muttered and then was cut off as I felt the magic course through my nerves. The last thing I saw was my eye color receding and then forming the color yellow.

    I was now thrown at the back of my mind my wolf just chained to me. The area was pitch black, but all I could hear was Aaron's distinctive voice, ''Prepare for war we are going to make our way to your hometown in a few weeks.''

    I felt my body nod in obedience, but the king did not release me, ''Just in case you are still a bit disoriented I will allow a few days for the spell to set in. It's nice to have you back Alpha Drake.''

    Again, I felt the involuntary movements bowing in agreement to the prick.

    I just looked away as I was feeling sick to myself. I now belonged to the wicked king. Under his control to fulfill his every wish as he pleased. But in all honesty, this had been my life. I guess it will also be my death.
