Desired By The Alpha King

Redemption

TALON POV

I didn't want to come to this poor excuse of a pack, but it was my duty as Alpha King to attend, so I did.

The Silverclaw pack isn't the strongest or wealthiest, but they are doing well for themselves and have survived this far because of their alliances.

However, the Alpha and Luna are not the most intelligent of the pack, but oh well, at least they are leading to the best of their abilities.

Once the celebration begins, they announce they will pass down the Alpha title to their son, Amos. He's a strong wolf and might even be more capable of leading than his parents.

Amos walks on stage with a she-wolf by his side, she has a huge smile plastered on her face, and I assume she's his Luna.

The outgoing Alpha briefly gives a speech, he acknowledges my presence, and people applaud. Amos then says his vows.

"I, Amos Creston will lead this pack, fair and to the best of my abilities." He continues, and together they join their hands, and the transfer of power is complete.

We applaud him, and the crowd cheers for their new Alpha. Everyone is dancing and clapping.

"Can we go already?" My Beta, Dante asked. He also didn't want to come. "Not yet, we are leaving tomorrow. For now, go and entertain yourself.

I looked over to the other end of the hall and saw four girls batting their eyelashes at us and giggling. I turned and gave my Beta a smile and he looked at the ladies then back at me with a scowl on his face.

"The ladies would really love your company." I said and gave him a mischievous grin.

"Thank you, but I will pass," he said and grabbed a glass of champagne from one of the servers and walked away.

I don't really know why, but My Beta has been averse to ladies these days. I shrugged, well, he knows what's best for him.

I don't exactly sleep around, but I do have women to satisfy my s****l desires, but only two or three and there are no feelings attached whatsoever.

I can only get attached to my mate and Luna, the woman who I will love and the mother of my heirs. I walk away from the ladies and interact with other prominent Alphas.

They ask about the pack and all but I'm getting bored, and my wolf is getting annoyed by every minute that passes.

'Mate,' Zeus growls in my head, immediately getting on four paws.

'Where?' I could have sensed her the minute I saw her. I frantically look around the party, but I can't seem to find her. I rushed out of the party to see the Alpha. I need to know if all the members of the pack are here.

The former Alpha is laughing and chatting with some other Alphas and I march over to them.

"Has everyone in the pack attended the ceremony?" I all but growled at them.

He takes a step back, and he wraps his arm around his mate. Everyone present shrinks at my Alpha aura, but I don't care. I need to find my mate now.

"Yes…yes… they are," he stutters, not meeting my eyes.

"I don't think so. My wolf senses his counterpart, but I can't find her, only the remnant of her scent.

"Yes my king, all the unmated females are here," she cries, frustrated. I growl and the whole party goes silent.

I take a calming breath, but my blood boils when I feel someone trying to force themselves on my mate. My eyes darken. Zeus takes over, and his domineering tone makes them all bow when he speaks.

"I'M GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU BASTARDS IF YOU DON'T FIND HER IN FIVE MINUTES!" I roar.

"My king, there are some females in the dungeon. She might be one of them," cries a female. I growled as I rushed to the dungeon.

The guards there make way for me as I run, her intoxicating scent is getting stronger, and undeniably sweet. I follow it, and her scream of panic is getting stronger. My blood is boiling.

When I reach the cell where she is. I tear the grill bars and step in. The guards all freeze looking at me with terror. My eyes go to the floor where a frail girl is lying.

Tears streaming down her beautiful face, and her claws are out. She looks on the verge of passing out…. A man is on top of her without a shirt, and my eyes reddened.

My wolf wants the blood of the male straddling my soulmate and was clearly about to r**e her.

"Mate," as those words leave my mouth, the guards are shaking in fear.

They recognize who I am and are gaping and looking between us. Zeus wastes no time attacking, and in a minute, they are lifeless on the ground.

I got on my knees, removing the bright green hair covering her face, and she lazily looked at me. Her eyes, nothing like I have ever seen, had a light minty green Iris but her pupils were the color of lavender, they were framed by long dark lashes. She also had pointy eyes. Strange, but I love her that way, special.

She looked lifeless. When I carry her, she weighs nothing. She is extremely underweight and pale.

"What did they do to you?" I mutter, kissing her forehead. She slowly raises her hand to touch my clean chin and drops it again before darkness envelopes her.

Someone needs to pay for this.

I took my mate to the pack hospital. I lay her on the bed, and the doctors asked me to leave the room, but I didn't. I'm not leaving her side, ever.

My Beta comes to my side, putting a hand on my shoulder.

I'm sure the people who were there informed him about the situation. "Is that Luna?" He asks, looking at the girl on the bed. The doctors attending to her look wary of me because my Alpha aura is going crazy, but I can't help it.

"My king… I think you should… leave. You won't want to see this," a petite nurse speaks in a stutter.

"She's right, and already the doctors can't do their job well. Your aura is imposing, he can't even hold a syringe properly because he is shaking with fear," Dante whispers to me.

"No." I shake my head. That's none of my business, and he better not hurt my mate with those shaky hands. I want to see what they did to her.

The doctor injected what I think was a sleep inducer then turned her on her belly and tore her already torn short. My beta gasps. I repress a growl and clutch my fist.

Her back is red and with wounds. They have been hitting her. Some cuts are so deep and unable to heal themselves. I move closer to her instinctively. There are dark scars as well, and my wolf howls in anguish.

"No doubt she was abused a lot. Some scars are old." Mumbles the doctor as he begins to clean her, even in her sleeping state, she flinches as the medicine touches her back. I hold her hand.

"Sorry baby, they'll pay for this," I promised her silently. The Alpha family will bear ten times what they did to her. I let go of her hand and left the room. My Beta is calling my name but I don't stop. I need to be alone right now.

I reach the woods in no time and shift into my fierce wolf, with one loud howl, we take off into the forest to run. We have been running for a few hours now, the image of how I found my mate haunting my memories, questions bombarding my mind.

What if I wasn't there?

What if I was a minute late?

What would have happened? Would she have seen the day again?

After hours of running. I thought my anger would have subsided, but it didn't. I go back to the pack house. It is quiet, and everyone is still sleeping, so I go to the mini bar and drink my favorite whiskey.

Feeling fatigued, it takes over my body. I go to the room they prepared for me to rest, but I mind link my Beta to stay with my mate. Once I hit the bed, I again think of my beautiful mate. I don't even know her name yet.
