Mine
Rae’s POV
I walked to the door and yep, locked. Just my luck. Why were those wolves doing that to me? I mean, yeah, I was a rogue, I was not into talking a lot, but other than that, I did nothing wrong!
Then, I realized something: the Alpha himself was giving me classes, he was all nice to me. My Selene, he went to my room and we kissed! In my room. Of course! Every female in a pack was lusting after the ALpha, since he was the most powerful one. And wolves loved power. They were now hating me for getting his attention, and not only that, but because I was the filth - Patricia made sure to call me this enough times for me to understand they saw me like that - rogue who was daring to kiss the Alpha.
I took a deep breath, before I could try to concentrate and think. I was not strong enough to break the door. I had only one choice: scream.
Banging on the door with all my might, I started to scream for help.
“Heeeey!! Please, somebody! Help!”. I know, those wolves locked me up, but someone had to listen to me. I had three werewolves in mind: Erik, of course, even though it was unlikely for him to be outside at those hours and near that small room; Aaron, and it was almost like Erik’s situation; and finally, Cassandra. She was not always outside, but maybe she would notice I was absent and came to take a look.
I looked around and changed my strategy. Since I was already inside the room, and I had to get sheets and all, I would do this, as planned, and then I would start to call for help. Yeah, because after I was out, I had to clean the bedrooms for the visitors.
When I was almost finished, I heard the door opening, finally, but the scent I could smell was not one I would like to ever smell again. It was the wolf who wiped me, when I arrived there.
I knew I was trembling, I could see my hands that were still holding the sheet. I turned around, cautiously. And yes, there he was, looking at me as if he was capable of eating me alive.
“Look at you!” He said, looking me up and down. I could think of one word to describe what I felt, and it was ‘disgusted’. “You were all dirty before, only those beautiful eyes could be seen. Now… you are great!”
“Ah… thank you. Could you step aside? I need to pass.” I don’t even know where the courage to say those words came from.
“Fierce! I like it! I knew you had good bones when I had to punish you. Almost didn’t. I like that in a female.” He started to walk in my direction and that was when I started to feel worried. Really worried.
“Please, I need to go. The Alpha himself asked me to take care of the rooms upstairs for the visitors. I must go.” I said, trying to remain as calm as I could. And no, it was not to impress him, but to try to hold my shit together, so I wouldn’t start to cry.
“You’ll go, after we are finished here.” His hand was on his trousers and I felt like vomiting. I could feel something similar to what Erik was feeling when he was kissing me. And I think that was desire, just now I recognized and understood that.
“No.” I said. “I am not doing anything with you.” I got hold of my basket with the sheets I needed and tried to go to the side, but he was faster than me.
He inhaled my neck and licked his lips. I heard it and it made me want to puke.
“Come on!” He insisted. “I’ll be quick. As quick as I can. You smell so delicious. Fuck!” He was much stronger than I was.
“Noo! Help!” He covered my mouth with his hand and had me on the ground in an instant. I was fighting as hard as I could, because I might be smaller and weaker, but I was not going to give up!
“It is the least you can do after you got me into trouble!” He said and I had no idea what the hell he was talking about. His scent was making me really sick.
The ranger's hand was all over me and I was struggling. The act of not crying? To hell with that. I was crying now, and screaming. I just had to have that werewolf away from me!
His hand went to between my legs and the terror grew inside me, but then, his weight on top of me was gone and I opened my eyes, just to see Erik holding the other werewolf by the throat.
“She is mine!” He said and his voice was too strong. Even I, a rogue and not bound to the pack, felt it reverberating inside of me. “Don’t touch what is mine!”
I could see how Erik was possessive over his slaves, but sincerely, at that moment, I was glad he was and that I was his slave. Otherwise, I would have to endure that mean werewolf.
I saw the ranger’s legs trembling and he was gagging, then he started to stop moving, until he was limp and Erik tossed his unmovable body aside. Then, he turned to me and the eyes, which were golden when he was holding the rangers, so cold and dangerous, were now getting calmer. He walked to me and crouched down.
Erik was looking at me very weirdly. No, not Erik, his wolf.
“T-thank you.’ I managed to say and without warning, Erik’s arms were around me. He was holding me tightly, but not enough to hurt me, just to keep me very close.
“I thought I was too late.” He said and kissed my cheek, my nose, my eyes and cupping my face with one hand, he kissed my lips. He was being gentle, but quite firm. His hand around me was pulling me closer, as if he wanted to enter inside me.
I heard a moan and that was mine. His touch was so different. It made me want even more. Much more. Made me want something else.
But before I could find out what it was that I so much wanted, Erik interrupted the kiss and his eyes were green, again. That was Erik.
“Are you ok, Rae?” he asked me, caressing my face and looking from my mouth to my eyes.
“Yes.” I said. “I thought…”
“Shhhh.” he gave me a peck on the lips. “I should have gotten rid of that bastard long ago, when he first harmed you.”
I frowned and looked at Erik.
“But you sent him to whip me.”
“What?” he looked at me with.. was that… was he feeling offended by my words?
“You asked him to whip me. But I don’t have hard feeling for y-”
“I would never ask that!” Erik was frantic. “I was hard on you when we first met, but you invaded my pack! Anyway, I would never just send someone to beat you, or whip you. I could see you were not in a good state!”
Now he was with his eyes closed, clenching his jaw.
“I’m sorry, but that is what he told me.” I pointed at the werewolf on the ground. I couldn’t see his face, but I was pretty sure he was purple.
“Listen to me, Rae: I am not this monster!” He said to me, looking me in the eyes, deeply. “I promise you.”
Should I believe him?
“Oh, my! What happened here?” Cassandra’s voice made Erik’s face contort. He was getting angry, again.
“What are you doing here Cassandra?” He asked without looking behind him.
“I-I came looking for R-rae.” she stuttered. “Alpha, why is this ranger in this state?”
“He is dead because he tried to rape Rae.” Erik said. “He tried to take what is mine, Cassandra. Rae is mine.”
