Alpha Adrien

"You claimed her. So your instincts were right, Alpha Adrien," my friend sighed, disappointment dripping in his voice.

"Yes and if you dare suggest killing my mate again I will kill you, beta or not," I threatened.

"Are you going to announce her and everything? Are you not upset that you got a weak little rebellious human?" My friend asked raising an eyebrow, still struggling to come to terms with me being mated to a human girl who ran around in the woods.

"She will be announced after being trained and I am very happy to have a human. She has no influence or dominance and despite her need to rebel against me she will be easier to control considering how much more power I have over her. If anything it makes my life easier. I am a lycan so it does not matter what she is, my blood is incredibly strong and will produce Lycans."

"She still does not have our instinct to mate..."

"That does not matter. I have claimed her. That won't make her anything like us but it will help with the mating. She will be more reactive to the slightest touch and as a bonus will not age," I said.

I ran a finger along the sleeping girl's arm and I saw her shiver.

A shiver of pleasure.

"See she responds now even when unconscious. Imagine how she would respond when awake. Humans have no sort of defences built into them. Its absolutely beautiful," I sighed.

"You are still taking a human. She is vulnerable and a rebellious little thing. She will fight you. You did take away her freedom, if you could call it freedom. Claimed or not she will do all she can to escape."

"So you expect me to chain her in a room and break her spirit so she won't escape. I won't do such a thing to my soulmate. I want to have her love and trust me not to hate me."

"What human is going to love a lycan. A lycan who forced her to come. She will believe she is no more than your slave when she wakes up. She will fear you and run."

"I won't let her!"

I stopped as I saw her beginning to stir and a smile painted my lips.

I watched as her eyes shot open.

Her eyes locked on me.

"N-no."

"You're awake darling."

"She's nothing but a runaway. She won't listen to you."

"What do you want from me? What could you want from an helpless human?"

"Yes, Alpha, what could you want from a little poor human?"

"Dawson" I snapped.

"Yes, Alpha King,"

She breathed as her fear began to bubble up again.

She was already beginning to slowly inch away.

Her eyes analyzing me like the predator I am.

"Told you she would fear us. Look at her. So weak."

SAPPHIRE P.O.V

I felt a small burst of anger inside of me at the rude remark.

I am not weak.

Maybe the privileged supernatural being might have liked to try living on a single, small portion of food every two or three days.

If anything to survive in such harsh outside conditions in thin old worn out and torn clothes with so little food was strength.

I could have given up and taken my life.

But no, I never did.

That is true strength.

They know absolutely nothing

"Dawson be silent. I don't want to hear another word. This human is my guest. She will be treated with civility."

"Guest? You must be joking. I'm a human, you know that. Why are you sparing me? I should be dead. Why am I not dead? Is thi.."

"Because the alpha sees potential in you," The other man who I suppose to be called Dawson, explained vaguely.

"Potential. Potential for what?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

Their motives were very unclear and such concerned me.

"Let's not hurry it. Answers will come in time and for now you need to rest. We have a long journey ahead of us and you seem exhausted and frozen," The alpha said pulling yet another fur blanket onto me.

I looked up at him,suspicious.

His motives were unclear and vague.

No lycan would do such a thing for a human.

Unless.... he is only trying to trick me.

He wanted to manipulate me and make me feel safe before throwing me into the games.

The second I relaxed would be the second before I died.
