His Crimson Mate

Get Mate

(Hadeon's POV)

We began to quickly slaughter the pack. They were completely caught off guard due to the large party they were having and it all worked out in my favor. I saw some of my new soldiers die quickly, but the ones who had been with me for a while were doing great. I will m******e most of this pack, then I will absorb it as my own.

The fighting had been going on for a while when we finally made it to the packhouse and I knew it was time to confront the Alpha and the White Wolf. By the time I reached the pack house, the Alpha and his family were already in the foyer looking bruised and bloody.

So this is the mighty Alpha of Blood Moon? I scoffed at how weak he looked and how he was ready to risk it all for his Luna. What an i***t. As I explained to them what I was there for and the Alpha became worked up, I began to feel Zeus stir deep inside me. Was he just as excited as I was?

"Over my dead body!' the Alpha shouted. I smirked in excitement. That was exactly what I was hoping for. I signaled my men to attack and I stood back and watched the chaos unfold. "Stop!" I heard the most beautiful, soothing yet sexy voice shout. I looked over to spot the source of that melodic voice when my eyes locked with the most beautiful honey-brown eyes I have ever seen.

My heart skipped a beat and an overwhelming feeling of warmth and comfort took over me. "Mate!" I heard Zeus shout loud and clear into my mind. Wait, what? I swallowed the lump in my throat. This was dangerous. I could already feel the overwhelming sense of protection over her and it began to disgust me. She tried to negotiate with me to take her instead, and even though Zeus was screaming yes in my mind, I had to play it cool. I didn't want anyone to know who she was to me.

We finally left Blood Moon and drove four hours to Death Shadow. I tried my best to avoid her by blasting music, which worked like a charm. I had hoped she would fall asleep during the ride but she was surprisingly alert and attentive. The way she put fear in and commanded my warriors was such a turn-on. Her Alpha wolf seems extremely strong for a female.

Once we finally reached Death Shadow's pack house, I got out of the truck and went around to pull HER out. I grabbed her arm and yanked her out. I finally noticed all the dried blood staining her clothes. "I got her Alpha. I can take her to the dungeons," Lucas came from behind me and reached for my mate. An involuntary growl left my lips and I cursed Zeus for my reaction.

The look of fear in her eyes when he mentioned the dungeons made my heart hurt, but I quickly put aside those useless feelings. I nodded my head to Luc to take her away, since I couldn't trust my own voice. The look of fear in her eyes quickly turned to hate as she stared at me with a cold gaze while being dragged away. I rubbed my hand down my face in frustration as I made my way toward the pack house. This was going to get complicated.

_____________________

It had been a week since we came back from Blood Moon with my mate. I have not been down to see her and I want to keep it that way, but Zeus is nagging me. He doesn't even speak much about it, he just makes me feel uncomfortable. Day and night it's like he's obsessing over her and I've barely had any sleep.

Not to mention, I can't even get my c**k hard anymore. I didn't realize how much Zeus let me w***e around with these females until he stopped. I couldn't even get it up for my soon-to-be-chosen mate who my wolf growls at in my mind every time she's near. Thank the Goddess, she went back home to her dad's for a few weeks. I needed room to breathe and think clearly.

I heard someone clear their throat loudly and I looked up to see Lucas staring at me with worry in his eyes. "Listen, cuz, I am not sure what has been going on with you but this past week you have been off your A-game. We have successfully completed the second phase of our mission, but the mission isn't over yet," explained Lucas.

"Have you been down to check on our new captive since she's been in the dungeon?" I asked randomly. Lucas c****d his head to the side and looked at me in confusion. "N-no," he answered my abrupt question. "Get mate!" Zeus growled in my mind, which made me jump slightly, earning another confused and curious gaze from my cousin.

I rubbed my temples trying to get rid of the growing headaches forming from Zeus's agitation. I had to figure something out because we can't keep living like this. "Get mate!" Zeus growled again. Maybe I could bring her into the house and lock her away like my mother? My wolf should be calmer with her safe in the pack house.

"I'm going to go check on the prisoner," I stated as I stood quickly and exited my office. "Um, okay, I will come with y-" I cut Lucas off by shouting "No!" louder than I had intended. He stopped in his tracks as I left the pack house and made my way toward the dungeons.

I walked past my guards and other inmates shouting at me to release them. I ignored everyone until I made it to the last cell on the right. I expected to see a scared little pup curled up in fear, but instead I saw a confident she-wolf staring daggers at me as I approached. "To what do I own this pleasure," she spat. Despite the disgust in her voice, Zeus is excited that he can finally hear her voice again.

"If you're a good girl, I might let you come into the pack house," I stated to her as I leaned against the wall near her silver bars. "I'm fine here, thanks," she scoffed at me, which pissed me off. My ego caused me to growl at her. "Then you can starve to death in here with the rats!" I bellowed. I heard her chuckle, which caught me off guard.

She stood from her thin mat and strolled over to the bars. "Do you not think I know who you are, Alpha Hadeon Dissick? I've heard all about the Demon Wolf. Do you know what else I know? I know that you need me alive until at least March, so starving me is not an option. I'm just disappointed it is you the Goddess paired me with. Why don't you just reject me and get it over with," she shouted.

I growled loudly at her mention of rejection. "Keep your voice down," I whispered to her through gritted teeth. "Oh I'm sorry, are we a secret?" she asked while gesturing between the two of us. "There is no we. Now, either you tame yourself and come into the house or you can stay here uncomfortably for months while I cut your meal intake in half. I need you alive, I don't need you healthy," I told her as I stared into her eyes. The defiance I saw staring back at me let me know that dealing with her was going to be more than I ever bargained for.

She finally looked away in defeat and I smirked. I was going to get her to submit one way or another. I can't let Zeus' feelings and attachments get in the way of the bigger picture. "Now, Crimson Wolf, as I said, you be a good girl and I will let you have an actual room and you can stop eating that slop we serve the prisoners," I stated. "Don't call me that. I have a name, Demon Wolf!" she spat back.

I felt Zeus perk up at the mention of hearing her name. He needed to be tamed just as badly as she did. "I don't really give a s**t about your name. If you try anything stupid, harm members of my pack, or try to escape, I will send my Demon friend to murder your family in their sleep," I told her with so much seriousness in my eyes I saw her resolve start to crack for a moment. But just as quickly as it came, her strong persona was back in place. "Fine," she gritted out through her teeth. "Good," I said as I waved to one of the guards to open her cell.

I placed the metal cuffs back on her wrists as she exited the cell. The cuffs are intertwined with dark magic specifically made for a blessed wolf. All blessed wolves have power, but I have no idea what hers are and I can't take that risk. We walked from the dungeons through the woods for a while until we began to approach the packhouse from the side.

I noticed her tensing up as she saw hundreds of tents scattered along the pack grounds. "W-what is all this? Are these the people you've abducted?" she questioned in disbelief as she continued to survey her surroundings in horror. "Absorbed not abducted," I stated as I continued to pull her along.

"Absorbed? It's the dead of winter and they are in tents! You are not even taking care of them properly!" she shouted. I gripped her arm tighter, "don't look down on me! Your pack is no better than mine and my pack is none of your concern!" "None of my concern? I thought I was to be Luna of this dump," she stated with sarcasm dripping in every word. I scoffed "you wish!"

I drug her up the four flights of steps to the Alpha's floor. I went all the way to the end of the hall near the attic door and opened it up. We stepped inside and I saw her looking around the smallest room on the floor. I didn't know where else to take her to keep her out of the way, but also keep her close. Since the attic was already occupied, this was the next best thing.

"There is a bathroom in the far left corner and I closet right next to it. You should shower, you reek of blood and filth. I will send up an Omega with clothes and a hot meal for you," I told her as my eyes scanned her curves appreciatively. She might be a smelly mess, but she's beautiful. Even under everything, I can still catch hints of her papaya and chamomile scents. Her scent was both addicting and comforting and I knew I needed to get out of there quickly.

I stepped close, pulling a set of keys from my pocket. I slowly unlocked her cuffs, letting my hands graze hers for the first time. Indescribable sparks flew across my skin. She gasped and tried to pull back, but I held on to her hand tightly and roughly pulled her body towards mine. I bent forward and discreetly took a whiff of her scent that Zeus had relentlessly been bugging me about.

"Don't try anything funny, Crimson Wolf," I whispered into her neck. My fangs were tingling and I knew Zeus was dying to mark her. I saw a shiver run through her before she pulled herself together and pushed me away. She was stronger than she looked. "Don't worry, I won't, Demon!" she spat.

I smirked as I backed away from her and exited the room, locking the door behind me. For now, I will keep her a secret and send the Omegas who tend to my mom to tend to her. She will stay locked up here until I figure out a way to break her into submission. She's a strong one, but in the end, they always break.
