The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply novel Chapter 9

《 Aurora’s pov 》

 

The name of the alpha every wolf seemed to fear made me feel as though I had just walked into my own death. My heart pounds quickly with no indication of slowing down soon.

 

How could this be? I followed what Peter had told me……

 

Unless he lied and betrayed me.

 

Oh, Cas.

 

I only hope that you’re okay.

 

Feeling the tears blur my vision, I stagger back in shock and fright. “This must be a mistake. A terrible mistake.” I whimpered, looking between the wolves.

 

Would they spare me?

 

Probably not.

 

“Please. I mean no harm.” I pleaded for them to listen but knowing wolves, they’d not listen. They were vicious animals and from what I’ve heard about the pack members of the Crimson Moon, they were evil just like their Alpha.

 

Ignoring me, Samuel turns to Eli. “She smells like a familiar pack. She must be a spy. We’ll take her in for questioning. If Alpha finds her useless we will get rid of her instantly.”

 

Rid of me? Did he mean to murder me in cold blood?

 

Dying by the hands of wolves wasn’t really on my to-do lists.

 

“Bring them both,” Samuel commanded, his eyes glowing blue to show his Beta rank.

 

The other wolf who had not shifted as yet, did. He looked younger than the other two but as he came forward to grab a hold of my upper arm, I noticed he was as brutal as Samuel.

 

“Wait please-” I whimpered, dread settling in my stomach.

 

“Shut up. You will only speak in the presence of our Alpha.” Samuel sneered as he shifted back into his wolf form and sprinted forward.

 

Fighting them would only make matters worse. If I want to survive for a few more hours, I will have to comply. Pressing my lips together, I let the wolf lead me through the woods.

I sobbed when the wolf harshly throws me to the ground. I had time to block my scrapped knee from touching the earth. “We don’t let things like you in our packhouse.” The wolf grumbles.

 

I gasp when his fingers grip a fistful of my hair and drag me towards a tree. “Easy on the girl Chris,” Eli shout as he witness me being dragged by my hair.

 

Chris only grunts and finally lets me go. My eyes scan my surroundings. The tree where he dragged me to had big metal chains. They were certainly made of silver.

 

I noticed Eli was also leading the rogue woman to another tree a few feet away from mine. It too also had chains.

 

Chris suddenly jerks the bag away from me and throws it further away from me. I don’t dare protest as I watch the bag fall to the ground.

 

Was this where they kept their captives? Outside like stray dogs? Chained to a tree?

 

“Give me your hand,” Chris demanded and I obliged without hesitancy. It was very clear I was no match for these wolves.

 

Chris chained my hands to the tree and I was thankful that I wasn’t a wolf. The silver would’ve surely burned.

 

I watch him in fear as he did not once flinch as he worked the silver chain around my wrist. Was this not hurting him?

 

“Can I have some water please?” I asked, hoping he’d at least make me have a drink of water.

 

Ignoring me, Chris rises to his feet and stares down at me in disgust. “Our Alpha rest around this time so we won’t disturb him. When it’s morning we will notify him of you. In the meantime, swallow your saliva because you’ll only be getting some water before your death.”
