Alpha on Leash

5

I felt cold, very cold, but my eyes were tight shut and my body refused to wake up from the slumber that i was in. My mind played the scene before I lost consciousness. The sudden hush in the club hit me like a wave, drowning out the music and laughter. All that remained was an unsettling silence and the heavy breaths of the Alphas around me. The burly figures standing guard behind the women seemed poised for a fight, their labored breathing a clear warning.A sharp pang shot through my head, and I winced, clutching my temples as if I could chase away the pain with my touch. But it wasn't just the headache that had my heart racing. There was something more, an odd sensation in the air that sent shivers down my spine. It was as if I could feel the presence of someone – or something – different, something that didn't belong in our world.My gaze swept over the room, taking in the frozen Alphas and the tense atmosphere. The women, once carefree and dancing, were now shielded by the imposing guards, their protectors radiating an aura of danger. My headache intensified, but it was almost secondary to the realization that had taken hold of me. At that moment, it was like a veil had lifted, revealing a reality I had been blind to before. The energy in the room crackled, tangible and electric, making my skin prickle with awareness. Each heartbeat seemed to echo a truth I couldn't quite grasp – a truth about the Alphas, the guards, and the entire scene that felt otherworldly.Struggling to stay steady, I found myself locked in a gaze with a man at the center of the room. He was different, not like the others. There was a depth in his eyes, a wisdom that transcended time and reason. The connection between us was magnetic, an unspoken understanding that sent my heart racing even faster.

He wasn't a normal man nor an Alpha. He was a Lycan, I realized, but what made my heart beat faster was the fact that he was a rogue Lycan. A type of Lycan that went beyond any reason and any emotions. They are completely isolated from the feelings of a human, the essence of sanity, and their intellectual lacked the feelings of even a normal Lycan. My headache throbbed, but I couldn't tear my gaze away from him. It was as if he held the key to the strange sensation that hung in the air, a sensation that now seemed to envelop me completely. Fear and fascination battled within me, creating a whirlwind of emotions I couldn't control.

A sudden laughter in the now dead silent club jolted me from the trance that I was in, making me distracted and losing my eyes on the man.

"What kind of role-playing bullshit is this? PLAY THE MUSIC BACK!" A beta from the back of the room shouted at the woman and the bulky men with her.

The woman laughed, a maniac kind of laugh that sent shivers down my spine. I felt it, the feeling that there was a danger lurking far beneath and the women were definitely not joking.

A sudden gun fire startled screams from the room.

"This evidence enough?" The woman, now void of any emotions, asked the beta that she had just shot. He clutched his heart and howled painfully. I stumbled back into the man that I was dancing with just moments ago. He held me in his protective hold, his body heat clamming down my thudding heart. I did not know why I was feeling so relieved in his embrace, but I did.

"Get moving!" The woman shouted in a loud booming voice. I was not able to fully see her due to the dim lights and the fussy fog that was still being pumped in the air.

We were all in a frenzy. The guards suddenly were now pushing us towards the VIP lounges above the bar. We were being tied in pairs and I remember having my hand being tied to the stranger whose face was oddly familiar. It was all like a dream, a horrible dream that I wanted to wake up from but could not. I remember looking around to find my friends only to see Izac being held down by two guards as he was shouting and trashing before he was knocked out by the back of a gun by one of the guards. Melissa was unconscious but she was being held protectively by Marcus. They were both tied together. The last thing I saw was the look of anger and concern in Marcus' eyes before I lost myself in the sensations that I never knew of.

My body suddenly jerked and I woke up, heaving for breath as though I had been drowning before. The darkness in the room made it difficult to look around and the absence of any kind of scent alerted me. We were wolves, our sense of smell. We were excellent but not able to even smell anything. That meant our senses were totally blocked off. I tried to move but I found myself bound with ropes around my wrists and around my thighs. I tried to focus my eyes on something that was moving in front of me, but could not. They really had blocked all our senses and were merely humans trapped somewhere god knows where. I felt shivers in my body as the gush of wind blew from the AC and only then did I realize I was in my panties and bra. Horror and fear course through my body like currents. something fell on the other side of the room, startling me and I felt the presence of someone else with me. It was familiar but also hostile and dangerous, and even my wolf subtly warned me about our broken communication.

"Be ware." for the first time I had heard Lune say anything to me. My heart filled with sudden warmth. It was Lune who was trying to keep me warm, I realized as I smiled brokenly at her gesture.

"Do not be afraid." the voice growled out from the other side of the room and, in the complete darkness, to say I was scared was an understatement.

"W-what?" I stuttered. Damnit. My mother's reprimanding came into my mind. She used to tell me whenever I felt fear or frustration to always show off confidence as it would help mask the feelings and the sensations would itself go away. It was one of the trauma i had to go through when living with my mother of never being able to feel scared.

"I will not hurt you." the shadow growled deep in it's throat. I did not want to find out what exactly it was and the vibes i got from him were definitely not those of a normal wolf.

"Are you an Alpha?" I asked cautiously. Please don't be an Alpha, please don't, please....

"Yes." f**k it was an Alpha. I silently cried in frustration. What did the day that was supposed to be one of the best day of my life turn into the worst one? I did not want to deal with the situation of being kidn*pped and certainly did not want to be stuck with an Alpha.
