Tangled fates
Alpha Williams POV
The room spun as I closed the distance between myself and Cleopatra. I could feel my grip on her arm tightening as I forcefully grabbed her, leading her into an empty room.
She followed quietly, her face blank.
“Playing a little game now, are we, Cleopatra? I snarled, my voice sounding colder than I wanted it to.
“What game Alpha?” she retorted, forcing a playful smile, her voice barely a whisper.
Two days after she disappeared, the beta of her pack came with some men, threatening to wage war if I didn't find her in one piece. The days that followed were not different. I swore that I would kill her the moment I spotted her for putting me in that position. So why couldn't I?
“Cleopatra!” I yelled. Her eyes seemed distant, the fire was gone.
“Where on earth have you been? Do you know the kind of mess you put my whole pack in?” I screamed.
For some reason, Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes but she held it in. Why?
“What kind of mindless game are you playing?” I continued, “All these while You’ve been here? Playing as some cheap slut to some…kid?” I saw the hurt in her eyes but couldn't stop.
“Are you really going to keep quiet after the mess you created?” I asked while still pinning her to the wall.
Nothing. She was just silent which made me more angry.
Suddenly, the door bursted open and the man I saw her with earlier marched towards us with a determined look. He made efforts to yank her away from my grip but it was futile.
“How dare you talk to her in that manner? He yelled angrily. “Are you her brother? A family friend? Where were you all when she was kidnapped and tortured for days? How come no one looked for her? Don’t you dare fucking talk to her like that!” He finished angrily and grabbed her out of my hold. I couldn't help the laughter that ripped out of my throat.
“Is this another ploy of yours, Cleopatra? What do you want this time?” I asked, dryly.
But she was still silent. Could it be he's saying the truth? I watched her closely, the spark in her eyes were gone, replaced by something, cold and distant. She didn't have the feisty and intoxicating aura around her anymore.
I reached to grab her hand but the stranger stepped in between us. The air crackled with unspoken tension. I stole a glance at her. She look like a shadow of herself.
“Cleopatra!” I roared, losing my patience. “Get this mutt out of here and tell me what's going on!”
She cleared her voice to begin but the man cut her off.
“I’ll tell you because I was there. Now I don't know the kind of relationship you have or had with her but Cleopatra has been through hell…”
“It’s OK, Theo,” she said calmly, placing a hand on the man's shoulders, “I got this.”
She whispered something to him and he walked out, after giving me death stares. Who does he think he is?
“Um,” she began, “The Night Wolves got me again that night I came clubbing, kidnapped and held me for five days, Theo saved me,” she explained quietly, not giving away anymore details. I saw her eyes. They looked like they held nightmares she could take to her grave.
“Why didn't you call anyone, after you were rescued,” I asked sharply. Dammit, I didn't mean to sound this cold.
“I spoke to My Alpha, they are waiting for me to return,” she replied.
I sighed defeatedly. I didn't know she went through this and I've been wishing her dead. I felt terrible.
“I’m sorry, you had to go through all that. I waited for you that night, even the next morning, but you never returned. I thought you went back to your pack after what happened that day. Imagine how surprised I was when Jack barged in, threatening to attack if I didn't find you.”
She moved towards me slowly. The air around her suddenly changed, I could feel the old aura she always had around her, which always made me blank.
My wolf was suddenly excited. I could feel it trying to claw it's way out. Her scent filled my nostrils in the most alluring way. What is this? I backed away slowly as she moved in. That didn't stop her, within seconds, she was pressed against me.
“I take it that you missed me,” she drawled, her fingers gently drawing little circles on my chest. My nipple hardened as she gently tugged on it. I don't know which was driving me more crazy, her scent or her fingers.
Reluctantly, I pulled away from her.
“You don't get to play this little trick of yours on me Cleopatra,” I rasped, disappointed at myself for breaking out of her spell.
“Oh really now?” she asked, making her way towards me like a predator. A sexy predator.
“Williams?” I heard Sarah call as she opened the door rather loudly, irritating me.
She came in with the guy Theo, walking closely behind. Sarah made her way towards me and leaned in for a kiss when she got near. I saw the guy Theo reach for Cleopatra and grabbed her hands in a comforting gesture, that pissed me off.
“Now, who do we have here?” she asked spitefully, recognizing Cleopatra.
I raked a hand through my disheveled hair and my teeth clenched at the thought of what I was about to say.
“Cleopatra, I'm sure you've met Sarah, my soon to-be luna.”
The silence that followed after my introduction was deafening.
“Soon to-be Luna?”
