Chapter 3 3

Evelyn

After spending only a few minutes getting dressed, I was all set to accompany my brother. In spite of the fact that I desperately wanted Ramos to be okay and that I wanted him to hurry up and rescue me from the alpha's grasp, my heart was racing in terror and beating extremely fast. Even so, I was aware that there was no way for the two of us to escape; we had no intention of breaking away from the group. It was never our intention to live anywhere else in the pack before we were officially mated, but given the circumstances, it would be difficult.

My mind was probably unable to function, and I came dangerously close to stopping breathing when my brother entered my room and asked in a callous manner, "Are you ready?"

I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and then barely managed to utter the word "yes."

I turned my attention back to the watch and wished that Ramos would arrive any second now.

My brother was unaware of the fact that Ramos and I had never before engaged in sexual activity of any kind. Therefore, this alpha would steal my first night together with my virginity, causing me to despise both myself and my destinies, as well as everyone else who lived in this pack.

My brother grabbed my hand as we exited the house, and I walked slowly toward him until we were outside; I looked around, hoping that Ramos had arrived, but I didn't see anyone else. After my brother pushed me inside the car, I saw one of the elderly neighbors. They even said hello to me, but all I did was give them a weak nod and quickly get back in the car.

As I watched my brother push away from me, I couldn't help but shake; I opened the window of the car and stared at him, dumbfounded. I was able to determine that it was not the car belonging to my brother but rather another royal car! Absolutely, without a doubt, it was one of the Alpha's cars. I yelled at him, "Where are you going? where are you going? Daniel! Please don't go and leave me here."

And I was unable to forget the way that he looked at me as though he had no choice but to leave there because he had nothing else to do.

At that point, I had given up any hope of escaping or even of surviving.

I reached up and grabbed the necklace that was around my neck, looked at the picture of Ramos, and began to pray silently. I hoped that I would be able to form a mind link with Ramos, and I wished that he would be able to hear my prayers as well: "please, Ramos, help me."

My heart was beating in my chest at such a rapid rate that I was on the verge of losing the ability to breathe. And at the same time, I choked back the tears that were threatening to spill over as I closed my eyes. The driver, who appeared to be one of the alpha's warriors, got in the car, locked the door, and then sat in the driver's seat. Without a doubt, he was concerned that I might flee. They were all fully aware of the fact that I was not a whore and that I had feelings for another person.

After what seemed like an eternity despite only being a few minutes into our path, we finally arrived at the castle. This castle was not the one in which the alpha's luna and their pups lived; rather, it was more of a castle in which the alpha could have fun with his sluts and carry out his dirty work from there.

After the driver had opened the door for me and shown me the way out, I nervously took a few deep breaths. After looking around, I noticed that there were only two guards stationed by the gate, and no one else was present. The driver walked me to the main entrance to the castle, where he waited for me while opening the door, locking it behind me, and then leaving the place altogether.

I was paralyzed from the waist down and unable to even scream out in pain. I've just made up my mind to plead for compassion once I come face to face with the alpha.

I was holding out hope that he would feel sorry for me and release me from his captivity.

But I was such an idiot!

After what seemed like only a few seconds, the alpha started walking down the stairs with his head held high. He gave off the impression of being pompous, self-centered, and royal all at the same time. He was almost in his mid-40s, but he didn't look a day over thirty.

He looked at me as if I were a prize he had won and as if I were something he owned with eyes that were completely devoid of shame.

I just stopped thinking about everything and knelt down in front of him. I began pleading with him, "please, alpha, let me go, and he didn't respond. I am in a relationship. And we are in love with one another. I am even engaged to him."

I then showed to him the diamond ring that Ramos had presented to me the day before.

The alpha scowled at me and grabbed my shoulders to pull me to my feet. After I was standing, he scoffed and said, "I don't fucking care. You are mine for the evening, and who knows? Perhaps I will keep you permanently as my... slave."

I stared blankly ahead, petrified and dumbfounded.

I was shaking and stuttering as I asked, bewildered, "w-what? However, why? You have a luna, and everyone is respectful of her, and you have pups, and I am not a slave, and I will never be."

It was as if I had just told him a joke because he burst out laughing like a schoolboy. "you are kidding, right? Either comply with my every demand, or your brother and your mate will both perish at my hands. Therefore, the choice is yours at this point."

I had a lot of love for Ramos, but I knew I couldn't let him turn me into a slave at that time, so I turned my head away from him and said, "No, I refuse to be your slave," while pointing the tip of my nose toward him. You can act however you like."

At that point, the alpha's face turned red from rage and frustration; he pulled me from my hair upstairs, and although I fought with him and tried to get away from him, I was unable to do so. Even though he struck me in the face multiple times, all I could scream was "Ramos!"

After the alpha had pushed me into his bedroom, Ramos stormed in and yelled at the top of his lungs, "let her go now!" as if he had heard me or was following us.

Even though the alpha held a higher rank than Ramos, Ramos was the one who commanded the alpha. I had no idea how Ramos was able to get there so quickly or how the castle guards could have let him through. But I was confident that he went to every effort to rescue me from the dirty hands of these alpha.

When Ramos took the alpha away from me and said, "Ramos, you are here," I couldn't help but break into a smile.

After giving me a bear hug, Ramos pushed me toward the door and said, "Run now," but I was unable to do so because I didn't want Ramos to have to face the alpha on his own.

In the blink of an eye, the alpha locked the door and threw both of us with deadly gazes. After that, he spoke to Ramos in a confident tone and said, "it's nice to see you here because you'll watch me fucking your lovely girl here now."

After that, Ramos transformed into his wolf form so that he would no longer be able to hear the vulgar language. Still, the alpha was significantly quicker and larger in his wolf form. The two of them began fighting, and the alpha almost killed Ramos in this unrequited battle before Ramos grabbed one of the knives that were on the table and stabbed the alpha in the heart.

And yes, Ramos was the one who put an end to the alpha.

The sight of blood splattered across the entire scene caused me to pass out.

After some time had passed, I eventually opened my eyes and found that I was in Ramos's home. Even though it seemed like a nightmare to me, Ramos appeared to be petrified throughout the whole thing. A glass of water was presented to me by him. "Consume this right away. There is not a lot of time left. We have no choice but to flee."

I exclaimed in shock, "What? Why?"

Ramos tried to calm himself and me at the same time by cupping my cheeks and sitting on the bed next to me, but his hands were so cold. "I killed the alpha, and everyone in the pack is following me now," Ramos said. "You have two options: either you stay where you are and let me escape the pack by myself, or you can come with me."

And I agreed right away, without hesitating.

"of course, I'll be coming along with you. Either we live together or we die together; there is no other option."
