The Wolfless Alpha

Chapter 1

Two years later....

Sarah’s POV

“What… what do you mean by this?” I asked not believing my ears. I heard him wrong, I am sure of it.

“You heard it Sarah, we are getting married next week” He said calmly, taking a sip from his coffee.

My hands curled into fist at his audacity.

“I don’t want to marry you” I replied looking directly into his eyes, not caring that he might consider it as disrespect. A low rank wolf like me is not allowed to look directly in the eyes of future Alpha.

The calmness on his face replaced with anger upon hearing my words. His eyes turned dark as he stood up from the couch he was sitting earlier and took steps in my direction.

I so badly wanted to walk back and go away from him but didn’t. I need to tell him clearly that he can’t force me like this.

“Aah…” a scream escaped from my mouth when he grabbed fistful of my brown hairs tightly.

“What did you say?” he asked in a deadly tone. His gray eyes turned a shade darker daring me to repeat my words. Fear crawled in my each vein. My heart is beating like a drum in my ribcage.

The fact that he is standing so close to me that his warm breath is fanning my face is doing nothing but increase my fear even more.

But I can’t let this fear take over me. If I do, I will regret it forever.

“I said…” I hissed when his grip on my hair tightened even more in warning. Tears began rolling down from my eyes but I didn’t back out.

“I… I don’t want to marry you” the moment I finished my sentence a loud sound echoed in the silent room followed by a sting on my left cheek where he just slapped me.

“Try again, what did you say?” He asked again, still holding my hairs in a deadly grip. My scalp is burning because of pain and so do my face because of the slap.

He is trying to scare me to take back my words but I have decided, no matter what he does I won’t step back.

“I won’t marry yo…..” I couldn’t complete my words as his hand again collided with my face, this time with more force that I fell on the floor. I tested blood and more tears rolled down because of pain.

My hands began shivering due to fear when he crouched down in front of me and held my jaw tightly. I am sure it will leave a bruise.

He stared at my tear stained face for few seconds before speaking, “it doesn’t matter”.

My brows knitted together in confusion as I didn’t understand the meaning behind his words.

A smirk appeared on his face upon seeing my confused state. He left my jaw and his hand began caressing my left cheek where he just slapped me twice.

“It doesn’t matter what you want. What matters is what I want and I want you Sarah and I am sure you are aware of this” he said softly but his eyes were looking anything but soft.

There was an evil glint in them which sent chills to my bones.

“Don’t do this” I pleaded which caused his smirk to grew wider.

He got up and stared down at me while saying, “next week we are getting married, be ready and don’t you dare try anything funny” saying this he turned away when I said,

“Why? We are not even mate then why are you doing this to me?” I asked not even trying to hide my anger.

Yes I am angry. Even though I am scared to my core I am angry as well. He is not my mate. He has no right to claim me.

He turned around to face me and once again crouched down to my level. He gripped my neck tightly while his eyes stared at me dangerously.

He pulled my face very close to his, holding my neck and whispered in a menacing tone which caused a shiver of terror to run down my spine,

“You should thank your stars that you haven’t found your mate because the moment you will find him, I will kill him”.

Saying this he left me with a jerk and went out of the room.

What was it?

There was something in his threat. The way he said the word 'your mate' gave me chills.

I don’t know why but it seems like he hates my mate and it is making me feel restless.

I just hope that my mate is safe wherever he is. But for now I need to plan something.

I must escape this pack, before next week.

….

I am pacing in my room thinking about how should I escape when I am literally locked in this room since last two days.

Yes it has been two days since future Alpha informed me about our wedding. Ever since that day I am locked in my room. I don’t even need to work in the pack house like I used to do.

Two guards are stationed outside of my room to make sure I won’t leave my prison. And no matter how much I think about a way to run away, I can’t.

The only good thing that happened in this two days is Future Alpha didn’t come to visit me and I am really grateful for that.

My mind is mess right now and fear has gripped my heart tightly when I think about the possibility of what will happen next week.

My steps halted in my tracks when I heard the sound of door unlocking.

As there was no knock I know who is it, it’s him.

I turned to stare at him and my breath hitched when my gaze locked with his.

“Hello future wife, thinking of a way to escape?” he asked in a calm tone while walking in my direction. My breath got stuck in the back of my throat and my hands fisted my dress due to fear.

How did he know?

With each step he was taking in my direction my heart beat was raising. He stopped right in front of me. He raised his hand and I flinched assuming that he is going to slap me, but he didn’t.

He tapped his forefinger on my forehead while speaking, “don’t stress your brain too much while thinking about the ways to escape this wedding…” he leaned closer to my ear and whispered, “because there is none”.

Saying this he pulled away while laughing a menacing laugh.

I didn’t say anything, I don’t know what to say. But his words were snatching the last hope I had.

There is no way to run.

This fact terrified me. Just as I was about to lose that hope he said something,

“Well I am going out of pack for three days. I won’t get to see your beautiful face I am gonna miss it. Don’t do anything that will make me angry and you to become the victim of my wrath, understood?” he asked gently.

I nodded my head not wanting to make him angry.

“Good girl, he said and cupped my face causing me to widen my eyes. He leaned closer to my face while saying, “you don’t know how much I am controlling myself from devouring you”.

His words spread different kind of fear in my whole body and before I could realize his next move, his lips were on mine.

I tried pushing him away but he didn’t budge. His one hand made its way behind my back and other hand held back of my head.

He bit on my lips harshly making me hiss in pain. He took the opportunity and entered his toung in my mouth, devouring it roughly.

Tears were streaming down from my eyes while I struggled to push him away. He was licking and biting my lips so harshly that I tested blood.

I was getting breathless when he finally left my lips but attacked my neck.

“Leave… me” I cried out while hitting his chest but he didn’t stop. A sharp pain shot through my neck when he bit on a certain spot on my neck.

When he pulled away I saw blood on his lips, my blood.

He licked his lips and the hand which was holding the back of my head grabbed fistful of my hairs. My blurry vision was locked with his dark one where all I could see is lust.

“See this Mark on your neck whenever the thought of running away comes to your mind. It will remind you that you belong to me Sarah, only me” Saying this he left my body and left the room.

I heard a click sound which told me he locked the door. My legs gave away and I fell on the floor while crying.

“Why me?” a whisper escape my lips as I cried on my fate.

Today I am missing my parents very much. My father was a respected warrior of the pack and one day a rouge killed him while he was patrolling in the woods.

My mom couldn’t bear the pain of losing her mate and died on the same day leaving her eight year old daughter behind to face the cruelty of this world alone.

Alpha took care of my needs. He was good to me. Everything was good till I turned ten. I have no idea what happened but one day he suddenly changed and ordered me to work as a slave at the mere age of ten.

At first I had no idea why but as I grew up I realized that he changed since the day when he was talking to that woman with red hairs. I have seen her in this pack few times and I came to know that she is a witch.

What she told the alpha on that day when she saw me first time eight years ago that he changed so drastically towards me.

I was lost in my thoughts when a knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts.

I wiped my tears with my hands and got up from the floor before saying, “come in”.

Clara, a maid in this pack entered inside and informed me that Luna is calling me in her room.

“I need to freshen up first” I said to her. She nodded and replied, “I will wait outside”.

“Clara I know the way to her room. I can go myself. It is not like I will run away when there are so many warriors surrounding the whole pack” I said to her.

She hesitated for few seconds but eventually nodded her head in yes. Of course she knows I can’t run away.

I washed my face and pulled my messy hairs in a bun before coming out of my room. The guards didn’t stop me and I was grateful when they didn’t followed me as well.

I was walking in the empty hallway heading towards Luna's room but my feet froze in my place in front of Alpha’s office when I heard something,

“are you sure everything will end if my son marked her?”

For some reason I had a feeling that they were talking about me as I was the one his son is getting married to.

I stood outside the door and peeked inside a little as the door was slightly ajar.

My eyes widened when I saw with whom Alpha is talking, it’s the same red head, the witch.

“It should but I can’t guarantee anything” she said calmly.

Alpha banged his fist on the table loudly which made me flinch but that woman didn’t even budge. She was sitting calmly in front of Alpha.

“What do you mean you can’t guarantee?” Alpha gritted through his teeth.

“I already told you the only way is to remove his existence from this earth but you can’t even do that.” The woman said calmly not getting affected by the dark aura of the Alpha. Even my wolf is trembling because of the amount of anger radiating from his body.

“Having his mate marked by your son is the way to keep him away fr …..”

She couldn’t complete her sentence when suddenly Alpha’s loud voice boomed, “who is at the door?”.

My heart thumped loudly and dropped to the pit of my stomach. My breathing stopped and body began shivering at the thought of getting caught.

I began walking away from his office but I could hear heavy footsteps coming towards the door.

'he will see me' the thought caused a shivers to run down my body.

My feet seems to forget how to walk fast as they were shaking badly.

Just as I thought I will die today someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me in a room. I felt like my heart will come out of my mouth and my breathing got stuck at the back of my throat when my fearful blue eyes locked with the gray ones staring back at me.

And a voice from inside me spoke,

'I am dead tonight'
