Royal Alpha Emerald

CHAPTER 4

~EMERALD~

I can't sleep. Ever since I last talked to Jasper I can't sleep. It's been 2 weeks. After I killed Carly and Jasper has not said a word. We tried everything but he won't say anything. So we finally decided to starve him but not to death. 

It's two at night and I keep tossing and turning in my bed. All I think about is him. My wolf won't putting pictures of us together. 

I get up from my bed and I change into some pyjama shorts and a tang top because it is really hot today. I head downstairs quietly without trying to wake anyone. I proceed to the door of the dungeons and I see a guard lying on the floor dead. Horror creeps up to me as i reach for the door but fail to when someone hits my head from behind. I cannot see the face of the person who hit me but soon darkness takes me. 

~JASPER~

Two weeks. Two f*****g weeks. They tortured me and left me to starve. My own mate left me to starve thinking I will give up any information but guess what I won't. 

She does not even have the courage to face me. She sends her beta to do her dirty work while she hides in her room. 

I am currently trying to sleep but fail to because of the bickering going on in the cells. Suddenly someone barges through the door dropping the dead guard down. Whoever it is comes inside as everyone is trying to his face. He comes and stands right outside my prison. 

"Who are you?" I ask with curiosity. He looks up and pulls off his hoodie. It is my beta. I can't be more happy. My beta was visiting a neighbouring rogue pack to try and settle some things and that is why he did not get caught. 

"Come fast Alpha, we do not have much time" he says and takes me outside. 

"What about the other pack members?" I ask as they were looking at me with hope. 

"If we take them now they will capture us all. We have to wait for the right time" he says and I nod approvingly. We open the door and go outside. It was like a meeting room with an open kitchen and the Alpha's office. As we were proceeding to get out we hear someone come downstairs. 

We hid behind a kitchen counter and were looking as to who it is. It is my mate. I can smell her intoxicating smell. My beta took out a g*n to shoot her. "Wait" I say softly.

"Don't shoot her" I say not believing my own voice that I am trying to save her. 

"Why?" He asks looking confused. As soon as I am going to explain to him I see that my mate found the dead guard and is going for the dungeon door. I pick up a pan and go behind her and hit her. I hit her in a way that will knock her out for sometime. 

"She is my mate" I say coldly to my beta and I leave her there and I go outside. 

"Your mate!?" My beta shrieks and I nod. 

"Then why are you not with her?" He asks. 

"Becaue she is the Alpha" I say and I see pure shock on his face. 

"Well I did not see that coming" he says gulping. "What are you going to do now?" He asks. 

"First let's just hide somewhere" I say and I spot a small cottage. 

We go through the back door to see if anyone is home. I twist the knob and find it open. We open the door and enter and close the door behind us. Maybe there is no one here. 

As we were about to take a step, the lights turn on and we see an old lady. "What are you boys up to at this hour?" She asks looking frustrated. 

"Umm...we just wanted a place to stay for a night" I say hesitantly. She looks at me with disbelief and rolls her eyes. 

"Maybe you should start by explaining to me why you are running from your mate" she says and I am stunned. How does she know? 

A million things run through my mind. I shift my weight to my right leg and I look at her. 

"I know everything child" she says smiling and signals us to sit down. She opens up a cabinet and takes out something and places it in front of us. It was a small tin box. I open it to find some baked cookies in it. 

"Thankyou" I say and she takes a seat at the small table. 

"No problem. Now you two finish that up and I will show you where you are sleeping" she says and we nod while munching on the delicious cookies. 

~EMERALD~

He has escaped. I can't believe he is not here anymore. He can't cross the pack border because there is too much patrol and that means he is hiding somewhere. 

I can't smell him anymore because I haven't marked him yet. I need to be close to even smell him and if has masked his smell then I won't be able to find him soon. 

"Alpha we need to warn everyone" Justin says and I nod. 

"You warn everyone and I will go and get Jenna" i say.  Jenna is my great grandmother. She is a witch so she won't die so fast. She likes to live a bit far from the pack house. She lives in a small cottage alone. Sometimes I worry about her. She is the one who suggested my name and I love her so much. 

I jog up to her house and find all the lights switched off. I had brought an extra key just in case the doors were locked. I open the gate and I turn the lights on. As I moved around the kitchen, I notice an empty tin box on the table. That is weird. Jenna always have them full unless she has some guests. 

I knew what she had done and now I know where my mate is. I switch off the lights and I head upstairs quietly. There were three rooms. I had never been to Jenna's room so I didn't know her room which makes it a lot harder. I open the first gate to find a person sleeping but he is not my mate. I open the second door and see Jenna sleeping. I open the third gate and I am welcomed with darkness. 

Both the rooms had a small window through which moonlight is seeping through. But this room is pitch dark. Thanks to my heightened senses I can figure out what is going on in the room. I hear some rustle and the lights suddenly switch on making my eyes burn. 

It takes a second for my eyes to adjust and I see my mate looking directly at me. He is shirtless and you can see all the dark inked tattoos on his hands and his body. His joggers swung low below the waistline and you can see the-

"It's rude to stare" he says and I look up. I turn around and close the room softly not trying to wake anyone up. He studies my every action. 

"What do you want?" He asks me leans on the wall. 

"You ran from the dungeons. You are my prisoner" I say stuttering. 

He looks at me intensely for a second and then starts to walk towards me. He does not break the eye contact and comes and stands right in front of me. 

I didn't no what to do. It is like we are both having an eye battle. 

"Fine. I will go with you willingly but you have to release my pack" he says taking a step towards me. Now we were inches away and I could feel his breath famming over my face. His smell making it worse for me stand upright. "What happened? You don't seem so well" he says as if challenging me. He takes another step making me back up so now my back is pressed against the door and my body flushed against his. I can see that he is loving this but he can't play me. 

I lift my hand place it behind his neck and now our noses our touching. I lean in making him think that I am going to kiss him but instead i whisper in his ear,"No deal". He tries to take a step back but I put pressure on his neck making him pass out. "Well this way is better than hitting with a pan" I say before he completely passes out.
