Chapter 2 The Cursed Alpha Is My Enemy: 02

Rena:

I struggle to open my eyes, a horrible headache pounding in my skull. My mouth is dry, and my whole body aches.

I start to open my eyes, and a sudden shock grips me. staring at the dark place I've been putting inside, I try to stand, but I'm too weak. Wait a minute, my hands sensing the ground underneath me, was I sleeping on the ground?

And just then, the realization strikes me as memories flood back, Derek kidnapped me!!

My eyes are searching for anyone, or anything but nothing ! "HELP!!!" I yell, "please, anyone...help!!" and again, no answer from the other side.

My tears start to fall, and I finally manage to stand.

I reach out, feeling rough stone walls on either side. It feels like I'm in a narrow place. My fingers brush against cold, metal bars...cells!! I realize.

"Derek!!!" I continue to yell, and I don't want to give up already, not without fighting. "STOP IT!!" Derek's voice from the other side. I gasp, hearing distant footsteps.

"Please, just let me out of here, I promise to forget all about this, I just want to go home, my grandma will be worried" I start, maybe he'll have mercy on me after all.

"I said STOP IT!" His sharp voice makes me realize that I was wrong, "Can you please tell me why you are doing this?" I ask. I shut my eyes against the blinding lights, when Derek finally turns them on.

"If it's about money..." I add, opening my eyes slightly at his pissed off face.

"Money? You think I'm doing this for money?" His words make me more confused. If he's not doing this for money, then why am I here?

"Okay, then why did you bring me here?" I ask, and he shrugs, making a few steps closer towards my cell.

"I don't have the answer to that, sorry" he says, adjusting his black suit, why is he dressed like that?

"Why are you wearing a suit? I know how much you hate suits..." I say, remembering how much we used to argue about suits in the past, when I ask him to wear one, and he refuses.

"Because...it's my wedding day" he answers, my eyes almost popping out of their sockets, "Your what?" I ask, feeling my head spinning around.

"As you heard, my wedding day" he repeats, with a wide smirk on his face, as if he's rubbing it in my face. "Did you really think that I would marry you? The human? The useless!" he asks, pointing at me, while all I can feel right now is the heartbreak, and the horrible pain in my chest.

"Human?" my voice barely audible, he nods, "I don't want to ruin the surprise for you, but love? Werewolves do exist" he says.

"So the first step is to kidnap me, and the next one is to make me lose my mind? Do you think I'm that stupid?" I snap, tightening my grip against the cold bars.

"Believe me, I'd be so glad to show you by myself, but this is a rare suit" he says calmly, and just when I'm starting to think it's all crazy, he whistles, not taking his eyes from me.

It takes just a few seconds for a shirtless man, wearing only blue jeans, to join us. Derek nods to the guy, and the guy smirks at him.

The guy's bones suddenly start stretching, or probably breaking. His body changes as fur starts growing and spreading quickly over his arms and legs. Hands curl, and the most terrifying part is his fingers, they're stretching until they become sharp claws.

My eyes widen, not believing the sight of the massive huge gray wolf that's in front of me.

At the moment, I almost pee on myself, feeling my heart pounding rapidly inside my chest, about to stop at any moment.

I take a few steps back, holding my chest, and breathing heavily, if I hadn't witnessed all of this with my own eyes, I would say werewolves exist only in movies.

"Scared, aren't we?" Derek's voice reminds me that he's still here, the smirk still playing on his face. The huge gray wolf transforms back to his human body, and I close my eyes at the realization that he's no longer wearing his blue jeans , and I have no interest in staring at his manhood.

"I hope you enjoyed the show..." Derek wears an amusement look on his face.

I shake my head, still shaking from all what just happened. "What do you want from me?" I shout, still glaring at him, but he simply walks towards the bars.

"I don't want anything from you, love" he answers, "You should ask Alpha" he adds, and my curiosity grows wider inside me.

"What does all of this have to do with you?" I ask, "why should I answer your questions?" he asks, and just when I'm about to answer, he stops me.

"I guess you owe me that...I mean after all, it's because of you I'm marrying my girl today" his face tightens, and his eyes stare at the void, as if he's trying to remember every single detail of the story.

"I'm a rough, well not anymore..." he starts, but when he notices the questioning look on my face, he rolls his eyes, "Argh...forgot I'm talking to a human" he shakes his head in annoyance, grabbing a chair, and sits inches away from my cell.

"I can't believe I'm doing this on my wedding day" he adds, then suddenly locks eyes with me, "I was banished, years ago...from this pack" he explains, I nod at him to continue.

"But the girl I love, we can't get married if I'm rough. Alpha took advantage of that, and sent me to get you" he finishes, "and why is that?" I ask him, but he shrugs, "it's his own business, no one can say no to his orders" his lips form a thick line.

"So he has powers on you?" I ask, maybe I can turn them against each other, I mean, I know how Derek is arrogant, and dominant.

"Yeah...he's our Alpha" he answers, and to my shock my plan didn't work, "nice try" he winks at me, and stands up from the wooden chair, our eyes locked for moments.

"Derek..." I call out his name, feeling tears welling up, his eyes narrow as he gives me a questioning look. "Am I going to die?" I ask, and he stops for a moment, but only shrugs.

"You're his business, Rena" his answer strikes like a thunder, it's like he never cared about me.

"This is the last question, was it all fake?" I ask, I have to ask, I grow huge feelings for this guy, his eyes immediately look away, "like I said Rena, I would never marry a human" his statement crashes the last hope, and any emotions left.

"Especially the weak, stupid kind" he adds salt to the wound, and with that Derek walks outside leaving me not only heartbroken, but also terrified, shocked, and completely hopeless.

Leaving my fate between the Alpha's hands...
