Alpha's Mark On Me

Be ready, baby.

Emma’s P.O.V.

Today, I woke up to my alarm going off. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was 5:00am. I sighed, as I got out of bed.

After quickly taking a shower in the bathroom, I changed into a black T-shirt and a pair of worn trousers. Before leaving my room, I made an untidy bun out of my long, red hair.

A maid was preparing a quick breakfast as I entered our tiny kitchen.

“Where is dad?” I asked, looking around. He used to be there before me at the dining table.

“He is with Mr. Robin in his study.” the Maid said, and I was surprised. Why did Robin come here early in the morning? I moved towards my studies, wondering in my heart. Before I could even open the door, I stopped in surprise at the voices coming from inside.

"We had an agreement. Now it's all settled. But I need your help.” This was Robin. I wonder what help he did need from dad?

"Actually, they want something in return, and I had no choice but to agree." He hesitated for a moment.

“What do they want?” Dad asked in a confusing voice.

“They want Emma,” he said.

What are you saying?” Dad shouted and I trembled.

“They want Emma and I agreed.” He repeated the same line and I felt that my heart stopped beating. For the first time in my life, I was feared.

“But how could you do that? Who are these guys? What the hell do they want from Emma?” Dad asked in an angry tone. I knew it couldn’t be done. Dad will not do this to me. I was felt hatred for Robin. I didn’t like him before, but his shameful act made me hate him.

“I don’t know. But we had no choice. They want her. If we didn’t agree, they would not hesitate to kill us mercilessly. We had to accept their conditions in order to save ourselves. Don’t be angry. It will be better for us. If we obey them, they promise that …..” I couldn’t hear anymore, pushed the door open and went inside. Both of them were shocked to see me. My face was getting red with anger.

“How can you even think like that?” I screamed, looking at Robin’s face. He got up from his seat and approached me.

“I’m so sorry, Emma," he said gently, "Emma, I hated having to tell you this, but you were the asset they were looking for, and they would accept nothing less. I was powerless because they wanted you, honey.” He was speaking in a soft tone and I stared up at him. A chill of sheer stark terror turned the blood in my veins to ice water. He tried to touch my hand.

I quickly backed away as the truly horrifying ramifications of his words began to sink into my spinning mind.

“How could you even think of doing this to me?” I asked with shock. There was fear and anguish in my dark, staring eyes.

"You don't understand. I had to do it. It was the only way. I don’t know why they want you, but if I hadn't agreed to their terms, they would have crushed me down. I had to do it, dammit, I had no choice. If there had been any other way but there wasn't.” He cupped my face in his hands but I jerked his hand.

“Dad.” I called out to dad. Dad was sitting quietly. I wonder why he was silent. Why was he not denying it outright? He turned away from seeing me and I was shocked.

How could he even think that?

He was my father. Was he willing to sell his daughter? But why? How cruel was he?

“You are selling me just for your business. Just for you, I risked everything. Whatever you said, I did it. But now you’re selling me out to save your future? How can you do that? You are a vile, greedy person.” I was tired of shouting. It was a terrifying feeling that I had risked everything for him, who was selling me to a stranger.

"I really am sorry, Emma," Dad whispered, and I became like stone.

"I love you, but I had to do it. I know you did a lot for me. I will remember this. But I shouldn’t miss that opportunity. He has a great deal. They are giving me the leadership of the Blue Moon pack. I can be the Alpha of the pack. You know that was my wish, which can be fulfilled now. As I become powerful, I will reach you. I will find you and ….."

“Don’t tell me your stupid plans. Now I will not fall for any of your tricks. I will run away from here. I will never be involved in this stupid planning of you.” I quickly cut dad off and walked out without looking at anyone.

“Run, Emma, save yourself.” My mind boggled me and I quickly turned to my purse. I quickly got into my car and increased the speed of the car. I did not want to fall into their hands.

After twenty minutes of driving, I stopped the car and held my head in my hands.

I’m Emma William, Omega’s daughter of the Grey Moon Pack. Six years ago, I lived with my dad and sister in a park house. I had my wolf at twelve. I shifted earlier than the rest of my age group in the pack. I was sixteen when I found out that I was blessed with an infinite power, the power of the Black stone, of which I could kill anyone. At that time, I didn't know that I would kill my own mate.

Yes, Alpha Lycan was the most handsome and powerful Alpha of our pack. He was my mate and, luckily, I was also his mate. I was madly in love with him but everything changed. I learned that my beloved sister was brutally murdered after being r***d and dad told me that it was Alpha Lycan’s father who did it all.

It was absolutely hard for me to bear. I didn't want to kill him, but the urge of Dad and my sister's painful dreams forced me to do it. It was hard for me to bear all this but I did it. It took me months to recover from this trauma but I couldn’t forget him. He used to appear in my dreams and I felt like he was alive, but I always shook it off thinking it was my illusion.

We escaped from the pack that night and shifted there. Dad wanted to marry me to Robin. Robin was Gemma of the Blue Moon pack. I agreed because I had no choice. After that, I thought life would be better, but my father didn't let me rest even here. I loved two men in my life and both betrayed me.

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I did not know what was happening around me.

Sometime later, I felt something strange.

Grumbling under my breath, I pushed open the door of the car and stepped down on to the road and I peered around in the gloom. I had no home and at that time I was in dire need of peace.

And before I could take a step, I bumped into someone badly. My eyes widened as soon as my eyes fell on the person standing in front of me. He was a strong, muscular masked man. Before I could react, a cloth covered my mouth, and the world around me faded into darkness.
