ROSE'S

POV

"I don't mind becoming his woman if you ask me. Will you consider my opinions and return to him?"

Cali chimed in my head, supporting the shameless Alpha King that just embarrassed me by calling me a slut. He was no different from Alpha Richard. He was a pig and a bastard just like the idiot waiting for me to return with a signed contract. Cali countered, "Never compare Alpha King Josh to that prick. They will never be of the same caliber. Whereas, he didn't call you a slut. He was just angry that you rejected him. He is an Alpha, after all, Rose."

My wolf beast might have been brainwashed by the good f**k that happened during those nights but I wasn't. Alpha King Josh has finally shown me that he was just as bad as Alpha Richard... or even worse. "Don't say that-"

Cali started countering my belief again but this time, I cut her off immediately, "Don't patronize me!"

My wolf beast didn't get the point until I blocked her from my mind. Enough of her and Alpha King Josh for one day!

Alpha Richard rose from his seat when he saw me approaching him but rather than walk up to him, I turned towards the exit and slipped through the door before he could reach me.

"Where are you rushing off to?"

Alpha Richard queried impatiently but I didn't stop walking and neither did I respond.

Alpha Richard snarled, "You haven't gone deaf, Rose! What the fuck is going on!"

"The fuck is that the Alpha King rejected the plan, Richard. So can we go now?"

I exclaimed, giving him a deadpan look.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Alpha Richard asked with disbelief, taking threatening steps toward me.

To avoid trouble, I tuned my tone, settling for a less hostile tone. "I can't do this, Alpha Richard. Find someone else that can successfully pitch the plan."

When he heard this, Alpha Richard's face changed and he flipped angrily. "Are you fucking with me? You were in that office for so long but you are telling me you can't do it? All you have to do is talk about the damn plan and contract. Did you memorize the plan last night?"

"Oh, do you think it's easy to present a contract to the Alpha King? Why don't you go to his library yourself and listen to his nonsense!"

I yelled, walking to the car. I dropped the document on the car roof so Alpha Richard could have easy access to it but he came for me instead.

"What are you doing!"

I yelled again as he grabbed me and began sniffing, smelling my body like I was a piece of rotten meat.

His face became gloomy as he voiced, "Why are you surprised? It's not the first time you will leave me to bang someone else. You definitely reek of the Alpha King, Rose. What happened up there!"

"Richard!" I snapped as my eyes caught a movement behind the curtain on the second floor. "Let's get out of here."

"Hilarious. What kind of woman are you? Did you make a move on the Alpha King? Did you ask him to take you from me? How shameless are you?"

Alpha Richard muttered with disgust. If only he knew what happened in the library. I knew someone was watching Alpha Richard and me from the second floor but Alpha Richard was oblivious to that fact.

"Let's see how cheap you truly are! Do you think the Alpha King will pick up trash like you? I am the only one that can save you and your pack!"

Alpha Richard hissed as he began to pull my dress. My eyes widened when the material of my dress began to tear and I struggled to get away from Alpha Richard.

How could he think of tearing my dress in public? In front of the Alpha King's home and the middle of a street?

"Richard-"

I tried to reason with him but he went wild as his eyes glinted with a crazy amount of determination. To save myself from public disgrace, I slapped Alpha Richard's face and staggered away from him when his hold loosened out of shock.

His mouth was bleeding. I had slapped him hard enough to tear the inner skin of his cheek. I knew he would either kill me on the spot or make me pay for hitting him.

However, he snickered, chuckling like a maniac. "I see your home means nothing to you at this point. Your family and your pack must pay for what you have done today."

Of course, he knew my mom's legacy and the pack was my weakness. I have sold myself for the betterment of the Howling Wolves pack a million times in three years. Is this truly the life my mom would want for me?

Will she want me to sell my pride just to protect the pack?

"I don't care what your plans are, Rose but you will go back in there and be a slut for the Alpha King if that will get him to sign the contract. Do I make myself clear?"

Alpha Richard was happy when I didn't utter a word in response after he threatened me with my pack wellness.

But suddenly, like a switch has been flipped within me, I declared, "I also do not care about your wants or your plans, Alpha Richard. In fact, I am done with this life."

I didn't know where that resolution came from. I just let it out.

Never have I felt so free...

"Let's break the alliance."

I concluded and without wasting time, I turned around with the intention of leaving but with no destination in mind.

Ending the alliance would mean becoming an outcast but I would do that to free myself from this bondage.

"Never!"

My freedom was seized when he grabbed me. "Even if you care less about your people all of a sudden, I will make sure you remain tied to me! And you are going nowhere but to my home with me."

"Let go of me!" I whacked his hand. "I am not going back with you."

I struggled for freedom but I failed. After all, Alpha Richard was stronger than me. He stuffed me into the car and commanded his driver to take us back to his home- my cell.

As soon as we got back to the Silver Moon pack, Alpha Richard grabbed me again. He dragged me violently out of his car.

"You have to let me go, Richard. I want the alliance annulled!"

I cried as he dragged me into his home. Rather than listen to me, he smacked my face and pulled me up the stairs. He didn't take me to my room. Instead, he threw me into a dark room on the second floor of his home and before I could rush back to the door, it was slammed.

I was locked up like a chicken.

Then Irene's voice reached me, "I have always told you that she is useless, Richard. She should be tortured to death!"

"She craves to see you die before she does." Cali's voice responded in my head. I didn't know when I let the mind barrier down but I did, finding comfort in my wolf's presence.

Richard responded, "She will be tortured but death is too easy for her. I want her to suffer!"

Hearing him, I began to hit the locked door as hard as I could. "Let me out, Alpha Richard! You can't lock me in here! It's against Werewolves laws!"

Irene spat, "You belong to this family and this pack. What law are you talking about? Even the Alpha King has no say in this, whore!"

I heard their footsteps retreating down the corridor yet I kept screaming to be released. Hours later, my voice became hoarse, and still, help didn't come for me.

Neither did help arrive the next day...

So much for freedom.
