The Alpha and The Vigilante novel Chapter 12

The Gamma/ Delta guy didn't attempt to say a word to me, not that I could have responded anyways.

I distanced myself as far as I could in the backseat of the car from the Alpha. I know he could have grabbed me if he wanted to, but he left me alone.

We continued driving into the night, and I tried thinking of escape plans. I could quickly unlock the car door and jump out.

I slowly pulled up the lock, and put my hand on the handle, sneaking a look at Alpha Cain. His eyes were closed, and he looked to either be very relaxed or sleeping.

All of a sudden, the handle was burning hot. I hissed, yanking my hand away. What the fuck?

"Give up, mate. The sooner you accept your fate the better," Alpha Cain said, not opening his eyes at all.

I would never accept this fate. The Moon Goddess made a mistake.

Nevertheless, I did need to rest if I ever planned on escaping the psycho sitting next to me. I closed my eyes and leant against the door opposite of the Blood Alpha, and almost instantly fell asleep.

Alpha Cain's POV

What a little fucking firecracker. From the first time I laid eyes on her, I loved her. I loved her even more when I firsthand could see her strength, cunningness, and ability.

I lied when I said her Gift was a cool little party trick. It was incredibly useful, and seeing her wield weapons with ease made me want to put a pup in her immediately.

I knew I would need to give her time. Based on her scarred eye, I would need to gain her trust. I probably shouldn't have choked her until she passed out, but I will always get her to submit when I want her to. It's what the pack members of Blood Lake expect from a Blood Alpha.

I desperately wanted to pull down the little cloth mask that covered her nose, cheeks, and chin, but I wanted to let her rest until we got to Blood Lake.

I wanted to see her hair and body too, but the goddamn cloak covered everything. I briefly wondered why she was covering up everything. She wouldn't be able to for long. It was my right as her mate to see every part of her.

As cute as her little Gamma, tough-guy attitude is, she is the Luna of the Blood Lake pack, and I need her to know her role as my submissive mate. We are not equals. I am her Alpha and her mate, she was made to submit to me.

I just hoped she would submit before she got really hurt.

Once again, I spat in his face. I guess I really am a one trick pony.

Immediately, he slapped me across the face. It wasn't the worst hit I had ever taken, but he certainly did not make it gentle.

"The next time you disrespect me, I will do a lot worse than a slap. I don't care if you're a female or if you're my mate. I'm the Alpha here, and I will beat you into submission." His grip on my chin tightened, and for the second time since I met him, I really thought he would break my jaw.

I didn't nod or show him my neck in submission. Luckily, we pulled up in front of a large house. House didn't even begin to describe the enormous mansion in front of me.

I must have been sleeping when we got through the pack's borders. Fuck. I should have stayed awake so I could have seen the layout of his pack land. Escaping would be a little bit more difficult since I had never been on his territory before.

Alpha Cain withdrew his hand from my chin. "We're home." I didn't miss the intentional emphasis he put on the word "home".

I rolled my eyes, and went to open my side of the car door. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me to his side of the car. "You don't walk outside of the pack house on your own. I will carry you anytime you step foot outside of the pack house. No Luna has walked herself outside since my pack was developed." I opened my mouth in shock. I wasn't even allowed to walk outside? What kind of fucked up nonsense is this?
