Alpha Kian And His Captive Mate novel Chapter 10

Life can turn upside down in the blink of an eye.

"I'm Riley, from the Red Crescent Pack." I used Beta Vance's wife's name.

Something about telling everyone I would have been their queen earlier this morning made me feel unsafe. Olivia gasped in horror. She probably got the news about the brutal killings and destruction her new pack caused. It was now my fucking new pack too.

"Didn't know Beta Vance's wife was a human."

"Oh, so you are a she-wolf?"

"Most captives here are werewolves forced into slavery. The beautiful ones get to become the sex slaves. Never thought I would feel grateful for looking too plain."

"Sex slaves? That's disgusting! Don't these assholes have mates?"

"Shh... lower your voice. Not everyone waits for their mate. Alpha Kian lost his mate and is about to take a chosen mate this coming full moon. But he feels no connection with her, so he sleeps around sometimes. There are some others like his beta who are bigger manwhores." She whispered as if the walls had ears.

I felt a twinge of pain when I thought about the alpha sleeping around. How did the cruel moon goddess bless me with such an asshole after giving me someone like Wyatt for almost a year? Why raise my expectations about this whole mate thing, only to be tied to a murderer and a manwhore.

"How long have you been here?" I asked Olivia.

I wanted to be left alone and was in no mood for a conversation, but if this woman has been here for long enough, she can give me a lot of useful information. I needed to know how to get around this packhouse and find out who were the alpha's loved ones. But first, I needed to know if my baby was here. She needs to be fed.

Realization dawned suddenly. Fed! With what? I was running dry, probably because of the premature baby? Or the disaster that struck today. I had no idea how these things worked when in the human body.

"About a month," Olivia replied, but I forgot what my question was.

The door was kicked open by Woman 4 who looked sweaty and exhausted.

"There you are! Wanted to see what was so special about you." She walked towards me and stopped when she saw all the blood on my dress.

"What do you mean?"

"She's dressed like some queen. Looks like the alpha has taken a fancy to her." She talked to Olivia as if I didn't exist.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Olivia asked her and then told me, "This is Sadie, by the way. Your other roommate."

"We were put to work the moment we arrived. But the housekeeper tells me that the Alpha told her this queen bee should get some rest." She threw some clothes at my face. "He told her to give her some clothes too. Didn't we wear the same clothes they captured us in for days until we could afford to buy them on our own?"

"Wake up, princess. Would you like some breakfast in your bed?" She threw the leftover water from her water bottle on my sleepy face when I felt tired and slept in.

I was counting down days to the next full moon. Life as a maid sucked, but I wouldn't have minded it so much if they told me where my baby was. My biggest complaint wasn't even the baby.

It was the longing I felt for my nemesis. He never bothered me after strapping me to my seat in the chopper. It was as if he was avoiding me.

I should be glad while perfecting my plan. What was I doing instead? I was thinking about him.

My nights were mostly filled with tears, thinking about my little girl and wondering if she was okay. While my new mate successfully ignored me for days, something about him told me she was being taken care of. If only he told me where she was.

Instead of thinking just about my baby, I was actually thinking about him too, wondering if he was fucking his chosen mate or some other woman.

Damn this stupid mate bond!

All the feelings of attraction and lust I felt for Wyatt were now for this enemy. The only things I still felt for my dead husband were love and pain.

I wanted to see Kian. Working solely in the kitchens had put me in dark about the happenings in the rest of the place. I observed the warriors get trained from afar, saw beautifully dressed women of the pack attend some events, come back at night, also watched some lustful man come and grab a woman, and drag her with him to his room as if they had a dearth of sex slaves.
