The Alpha and The Vigilante novel Chapter 10

I could hear various men shouting throughout the woods, and I quietly crept through, deeper and deeper. I hoped that they assumed I wouldn't go so deep into the woods, and would turn around.

I could feel various pack members trying to mindlink me, but I blocked them out. Strangely enough, the Alpha didn't try mindlinking me. He probably knew that there was no changing my mind. I'd rather be a rogue than forced into being a prisoner at Blood Lake.

All of a sudden, the forrest was quiet. Eerily quiet. Ah fuck.

I was tackled, and based on the heavenly smell, I could tell it was by my mate. I was surprised he had been able to sneak up on me, but I guess I shouldn't underestimate one of the strongest Alphas that has ever existed.

He didn't bother being gentle about it, and I was slammed into the hard ground. I could feel my head bleeding from a small rock that had "cushioned" my head from the fall.

He pinned me down, his heavy weight crushing me.

His eyes darkened deeper than I had ever seen, and I could tell his wolf was fighting for control.

"Got you, mate." He whispered, leaning his face in closer to mine. I spit on him, and he growled. "I like the fight in you, pup. Too bad you're no match for an Alpha."

I continued to struggle underneath him, but it was no use. He was right. I was no match more him. All of my years of training couldn't have prepared me to take on the Blood Alpha.

"Submit." He commanded, squeezing my throat tighter.

I blankly stared into his eyes with my one good eye. I would rather die than submit to him.

His grip on my throat tightened more and more with each second I refused to submit. Eventually, I could no longer breathe. The last thing I saw before I passed out were his goddamn dark eyes.

I opened my eyes, and was surprised to see that I was back in the Pack House. Alpha Cain had me sitting on his lap, and he still was cradling me like a fucking baby. I began hitting him and struggling to get out of his grip.

"If you keep struggling, I will inject more drugs into you to make you sleep, and I may never let you wake up again," Alpha Cain whispered in my ear, and my eyes widened. Surely, he wouldn't kill his own mate? I would, but would he?

His dark eyes held a scary level of intensity, and I knew he wasn't fucking around.

I heard someone clear their throat, and was shocked to see that all of the Blood Lake and Red Crescent pack leaders were also in the living room of the pack house, standing and sitting all around the room.

"As you may have figured out, you are Alpha Cain's true mate. In accordance with pack laws, you must pack your bags and go to live with him in Blood Lake territory," Alpha Wilson stated, blankly looking at me. What the fuck? He wasn't even going to put up a fight to keep me? I was the best warrior in the whole pack, and just like that, he'd let Alpha Cain take me to his hellhole?

"We are leaving at once. You will be able to go purchase new items in Blood Lake." Alpha Cain said to me, and I glared at him with pure hatred. He was tripping balls if he thought I was going back with him. His pack was extremely backwards and stuck in old traditions that would punish me for my independence. Women did not have many rights in that pack, this much I knew. Alpha Cain was one of the Alphas who disproved of my Gamma position.
