The Wolfless Alpha

Chapter 10

Sarah’s POV

'Alpha Mason is here to attend the ceremony'

The words keep ringing in my ears, increasing my fear with each passing second.

The moment I heard these words, I came back to my room with a chaos running inside me.

If he is here for ceremony then there is no way I am going there.

As first the thought of running away crossed my mind but I couldn’t.

Where will I go?

I have no one and nowhere to go.

Moreover the thought of running into him or any of his pack member when I leave the safety of my room, is terrifying me.

That is another reason I have decided to not leave from this room.

I hope he is really here just to attend the ceremony and leaves right after it ends.

But a small part of me is telling me the he won’t.

That he is here for me.

I feel like that he knows I am here and he is here to take me back with him, to torture me to his heart’s content.

Once again my breathing became heavy and my heart started pounding loudly. My head is aching badly because of the unwanted and unpleasant scenarios my mind is forming.

My stomach is twisting into knots which are clenching tightly.

I don’t know what should I do.

Should I stay here and hide myself in my room just like I did yesterday or should I try leaving this pack for good?

I once again tried mind linking Grayson.

I tried contacting him the moment I had entered inside my room but couldn’t reach him. That is why I had mind linked one of his friend, Kevin.

Kevin told me that Grayson had went out of pack for some work Alpha Zander had assigned to him. He also told me that Gray should be back around six thirty. But it is already six forty-five and still I can’t reach him.

I got down from my bed and began pacing around. The pain in my ankle has disappeared completely.

Almost half an hour passed by when I heard a familiar voice in my head which made me release a breath of relief.

‘Sarah where are you? I can’t find you in the ceremony. It is about to end' Gray’s voice said.

‘I am at pack house Gray. You said Ceremony is about to end. What does that mean?’ I questioned.

I don’t know why I asked this.

Maybe because I heard Alpha Zander and Jorden talking about Travis running away.

Oh god is the Ceremony cancelled because they couldn’t find him.

What if Mason comes to the pack house to rest. Or he waits here till Alpha Zander finds Travis?

I realized my breathing is becoming uneven.

‘Pack house? Why are you still there?’ Gray asked me.

His voice sounded worried.

'Mason is in the ceremony' I replied, trying to calm my rapidly beating heart.

‘Stay in the room and lock the door. I will be there soon' he said and I nodded my head even though he can’t see me.

'okay, come soon please. I am… scared' I told him honestly while walking towards the door.

I had already locked it before but still I checked again to find it locked properly.

His reply came instantly, ‘Don’t be, I will be there soon'.

I sighed as I leaned my back on the door.

The thing about Grayson is I don’t feel vulnerable or embarrassed while telling him my honest feelings.

I know even if I told him that I am scared or I cry hysterically in front of him, he won’t judge me or pity me.

He just stays by my side telling me that I am not alone. That he is there with me. And it is very comforting.

After about two - three minutes there was a knock on the door.

Without thinking much I opened the door believing it must be Grayson.

But I was wrong.

I should have thought a bit before opening the door. I should have considered the possibility, that it might not be Gray who is standing on the other end of this door, that Gray can’t reach here so quickly from venue of the ceremony.

Only if I would have thought of this then I could have saved myself from coming across from Zain, Beta of Mason when I opened the door.

My eyes widened in fear as soon as they locked with his dark black orbs. My hands moved in a speed of lightning to close the door before he could come inside but he was faster than me.

He pushed the door and held my hand tightly.

“Zain, leave me” I pleaded when he began pulling me out of the room. His face was hard, void of any emotions.

“Zain… please” I said while picking up the vas from the table beside my door before he successfully pulled me out.

In the next second I smashed the vas on his head. He grunted in pain and his grip on my hand loosened. I took the opportunity and pushed him away from me.

He stumbled back a little. I kicked him where sun doesn’t shine and started running away.

'Grayson, Mason’s Beta found me, please come soon' I mind linked him. I could reach till living room when a hand grabbed my arm from behind me and turned me around with a jerk.

My scared orbs locked with blazing black ones. His gaze told me he wants to kill me but then suddenly he left my arm and took a step back.

His eyes were no longer glaring at me but were looking at something behind me.

My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach as a terrifying thought crossed my mind.

I turned around and stumbled back a little when my eyes landed on the man who terrifies me to my core. A cold shiver ran down my spine.

My heart beat raised to the extent that I felt like it will burst out of my chest.

Panic has gripped my mind completely and my body began shivering at the mere sight of him.

He was taking steps in my direction and I was about to take a step back when two hands from behind grabbed my shoulders to hold me in my place.

I tried freeing myself from Zain's hold but he is way too strong for me.

Mason stopped right in front of me and only now I realized he is looking very angry.

“Let… let me….” I couldn’t complete my words as a loud sound echoed in the silent living room when his hand collided with my cheek.

My face is burning because of pain and tears pooled into my eyes.

“I dare you to continue” he gritted near my face, holding my hairs tightly.

I didn’t realize when Zain left my shaking body.

I wanted to continue but couldn’t. No word came out of my mouth because of fear. My teary eyes were pleading him to let me go.

He began dragging me towards the door. I hissed because of his tight hold on my hairs. My scalp is burning in pain. My head is aching. Tears are rolling freely out of my eyes.

“Please…. Please Alpha, let…. Me go” I again begged in between sobs while trying to free myself from his tight grip. But all of my pleadings went to deaf ears. All of my struggles were useless.

But then I said something which stopped him abruptly in his tracks. His grip on my hairs loosened as he turned around to face me with his burning gaze, daring me to repeat again.

My breathing got stuck in the back of my throat. And my heart squeezed tightly in fear.

His eyes, they are changing colours which told me his wolf is fighting to take control.

“What did you just say?” he growled pulling me closer to himself by my arms. His nails digging in my flesh causing me to whimper in pain. I am sure it will leave a bruise.

I gulped nervously as I uttered the words,

“I… I have a.... Mate”

This is my last hope. Maybe he will leave me knowing I belong to someone else.

But his reaction stunned me completely.

His eyes turned golden and his breathing became ragged. His jaw clenched and aura around his turned darker.

“Who?” he asked in a bone chilling tone which made me tremble. My lips began quivering and fresh tears welled up in my eyes.

The look in his eyes was clearly expressing his intentions why he is asking who is my mate.

He wants to kill him.

My heart trembled violently in my ribcage as I shook my head in no.

There is no way I can tell him his name. I never thought he will want me even after knowing I found my mate.

Now I am scared out of my wits.

Not only for me but for Grayson as well.

He… he is coming here.

Oh god… I need to save him.

I know Grayson is a good fighter but he can’t win against an Alpha. Wolf.

A look of craziness flashed in his eyes when I shook my head and his grip on my arms tightened to the extent, that a painful cry left past my lips.

“I… will go… with you” I muttered.

But he leaned closer to my face. His angry breath fanned my face as he glared at me.

“I know that. But before we leave, I will kill the bastard who dared to touch what is mine” he said dangerously.

I was about to mind link Grayson to tell him to not come here.

But before I could do that, his voice echoed in the room,

“Leave her you bastard” he yelled.

Mason left my arms and turned to face him.

His lips curved upward in an evil smirk which caused goosebumps to appear on my skin.

Grayson ran towards me. A look of worry and pain flashes in his Hazel orbs as he scans my shivering figure and bruised cheek.

My eyes landed on Mason. His murderous gaze is fixed on Grayson's hand caressing my cheek gently.

Then my gaze shifted to Mason’s hand and my breath hitched when I noticed his claws appearing.

Dread settled inside me.

He is about to kill Grayson.

I shuddered at the thought. Even my wolf is crying in my head in fear.

“Grayson leave” I screamed at the top of my lung and pushed him away from me at the same time Mason raised his hand to snap his neck.

Grayson’s widened eyes landed on Mason.

He was about to punch Mason but before he could do that Mason’s hand was wrapped around Grayson's neck, choking him with blank eyes.

His strength is much more than Gray. In a matter of few seconds his face turned red and his eyes began dropping.

I was trying to remove Mason’s hand from Grayson’s neck while pleading. Sobs were erupting from my mouth and my insides were clenching painfully.

I can’t let anything happen to Grayson.

“Please….. Alpha…. Please leave… him” I begged again.

And this time he heard my pleadings and left him. Gray’s body fell down on the floor as he coughed and tried to inhale.

I crouched down to his level.

But before I could touch him Zain pulled me to my feet and pulled me away from Gray's sitting figure.

Mason's claws were on surface and he raised his hand.

His intention crystal clear in his eyes.

“Goodbye f**ker” he muttered loud enough for me to hear.

A loud agonizing scream escaped from my mouth as new stream of tears rolled down from my eyes.

My struggles to free myself failed miserably and I fell on my knees.

I shut my eyes tightly not willing to witness the brutal scene unfolding in front of me while my heart and mind prayed desperately only for one thing,

'please moon goddess help me'.
