Born For The Alpha novel Chapter 13

“I have to go now.” She said and watched his eyes drop briefly to the pig, before returning to hers.

“You don’t want the game anymore, I see.”

“Please, let me go.” Arda’s fear of him was mounting. He did not respond. Instead, a small grin split his lips. Then despite her ear defenders, she heard the howling of wolves in the distance.

Arda turned and made a run in the direction she had come from and before she could leave the little clearing and hit the denser part of the forest, she felt strong arms pulling her roughly back against a firm, muscled chest.

She opened her mouth to scream and felt a hand covering her mouth. She started struggling and felt herself being moved swiftly and before she knew it, she was being held sturdily against a tree.

Her back was against the tree and he was standing before her, keeping her captive with nothing but his sinewy body. Her frightened eyes stared pleadingly into his and she felt them watering.

Gillow could feel his heart melting with mercy and at the same time, the smell of her blood filled his nostrils. Her blood type had to be B positive. It was the tastiest blood type amongst his kind. Why would his mate have that? Damn, he wasn’t prepared for this aspect.

He inhaled her neck deeply and fought to control his rising hunger. Then he put his mouth closely to her ear, letting her feel his hot breath upon her delicate looking skin. “I will take my hand off your mouth and you will be as quiet as a mouse.” He whispered roughly. “If you make a noise, you will regret it immediately. Is that clear?”

She gave him a series of rapid nods and he took his hand off her mouth.

“Please, I want to go.” She begged and Gillow took pity on her. He had already succeeded in his plan to scare wisdom into her but too much of everything was bad. He didn’t want her too afraid of him. She was going to be his mate soon and he didn’t want a frightened woman accepting his thrusts.

“Your actions just now were without wisdom. Do you know that?”

Arda understood perfectly, what he was talking about and it was a little surprising that he seemed focus on correcting her when he could have been hurting her or something. Maybe he wasn’t a bad person. Well, it was too early to judge. She was still at his mercy.

She knew that she shouldn’t have approached him alone because he was a stranger who was armed and they were in a forest at night. Arda nodded in response to his question.

“I want to hear words.” He said sternly and her heart pummeled against her chest.

“I shouldn’t have approached a stranger alone because they might be dangerous.” She said shakily.

“Good.” He commended, “but I prefer this version, I will observe my safety and never run blindly into a dangerous situation again.”

He waited and Arda understood he wanted her to repeat the words.

“I will observe my safety and never run blindly into a dangerous situation again.” She said.

“You’re a fast learner. So what should I do to you if we have another episode?”

Arda wanted to tell him to go to hell but right now, she was at his mercy.

“I believe I won’t run into you again.”

“Is that so?” he scoffed. “Well, time will tell.” He was glad that she was smart. The gods couldn’t have chosen better. Their choice was a bit flawed though, because her blood type was a serious temptation to him. It made him a danger to her. How he was being under control right now was still a mystery to him. He pulled himself away from her, giving her space that was just enough for her to slip away.

“Run.” He commanded but she was frozen in fear. At the same time, her eyes riveted longingly towards the pig on the ground. His eyes followed her gaze and swiftly returned to hers. “Really?” he asked, unbelieving.

“I…I did see it first.” She said in a small voice and he gave her a dark look. This was enough to scare her and she started backing herself away from the tree. Then she turned and ran off into the woods, disappearing from his sight.

Gillow’s eyes looked up at the moonlight and returned to the pig. He circled his thumb and forefinger over his lips and blew a whistle. Seconds later, the bushes surrounding him began to rustle and a group of hunters emerged from the forest and gathered themselves around him.

They were a combination of male and female around ten in number, Karina among them. They were all tall and heavily built but Gillow was the tallest and most intimidating. Karina presented herself before him and took a bow.

“You did not tell me about her blood.” He said coldly.

“We thought that…” she began.

“We?” he demanded and Karina caught herself pausing for a bit, her heart pounding with fear. They couldn’t know about Jacob, especially the Alpha. She would be in trouble.

“I mean, I…”

“Who else have you been working with?” he interrupted sharply and Karina shook her head.

“No one.”

“Imagine what will happen if I have to read your mind and discover otherwise.”

“I’m loyal to the pack.”

“That is not the question. Who else have you been working with?”

“Jacob…Jacob Cain.”

There were gasps of surprise among the others and Gillow’s iris became red and fierce. The rest of the group fell to their knees, including Karina.
