My fated alpha

Chapter 7

Madeleine

A chill ran down my spine at those words. My heartbeat had grown so loud and erratic that everything

that he said next got drowned in the noise that echoed in my ears.

No, he couldn’t possibly mean that.

My eyes went wide with terror and despite wanting to run away, I decided to let him talk as much as I

could.

Hayden had saved me once and I had been thinking of finding a way of returning the favor. If I could do

it just by listening to Steve ramble about what he had exactly done or planned to do, it would really be

helpful.

I knew that the werewolves loathed me so he couldn’t possibly mean that he would take me to his bed.

I was beneath them all.

No wolf, not even the gamma would ever want to taint his reputation by accepting a wolfless girl, that I

was pretty sure of.

Hence, I mustered my courage and walked outside the door that was well hidden by the darkness.

There was only a faint light entering the cabin through a slit in the window and I stepped in it to show

Steve that I was around.

Hearing my footsteps, he turned to face me. “There you are…” He took a big swig from the bottle and

leered at me.

Looking around, he spotted the bed and plonked himself on it, crossing his feet and lying like some

king.

“My body is sore, I need you to massage me a little.” He said in a voice that almost made me gag.

Dread began to fill my heart as I willed myself to walk up to him. The bottle he was holding was almost

empty and I knew that he wouldn’t even be able to stand up on his feet if I were to run.

Plus, I needed to hear what he was talking about Hayden. Thus, I pushed my hair behind my ears and

walked out of the door completely.

“That’s a good slave. Now, take off my shoes and start with the massage. I am feeling too tired.”

Hesitating a little, I walked near him and did as he asked. Keeping one eye on him, I untied the NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

shoelaces and placed the shoes on the floor one after the other.

His feet were smelly but so was his entire being. I was horrified to think that I was touching his feet.

Trying to distract myself from the growing disgust, I asked him in what I assumed to be a carefully

neutral voice,

“Why are you tired? Did Hayden poke his nose in our matters again?”

These words seemed to please him. The way I shifted all the blame on Hayden made him feel happy

and a smile appeared on his lips.

“Oh, smart girl. I thought you were also like the other girls of our pack, completely smitten by the

charms of that show-off.”

I smelled jealousy in his words and he had every right to be. Hayden was a true alpha in all respects, at

least from what I had heard so far.

It was a miracle I had never heard of him or his pack before. But then, I had never really left the safety

and comfort of my territory earlier.

That was until Garron and Steve had waged a war with my pack for a trivial matter and things had

spiraled out of control.

I could never forgive them for what they had done to my pack and my family. But right now I was weak

and incapable of doing anything against them.

As such, I removed his socks that were stinking and began to rub his feet.

He closed his eyes and drawled, “You know most werewolves wouldn’t even let you touch their feet.

But look how generous I am, l let you be in the same room as I, we eat the food that you cook and we

also give you a nice place to eat and rest, despite you being nothing than a burden to us.”

My eyes filled with anger and sadness at the same time and I pressed on his foot harder than intended.

“Easy there, slave. We have been feeding you well I guess, you are getting strong.”

Ignoring the rising hate in myself, I continued to massage his feet and only nodded my head. Even he

closed his eyes and I feared that he had fallen asleep.

My heart was gnawing at me to extract the information about Hayden as soon as possible. Thus, I tried

again one more time.

“I don’t know why Hayden would interfere in our pack’s business, it was wrong of him to enter our

territory.”

I goaded him and the idiot fell for it. I really didn’t understand how Garron could call him a soldier if he

was this stupid.

Nevertheless, it helped me and I looked at him eagerly, “Oh yes, Hayden is a complete a**hole. He

tried to enter my house and property and even left wearing my clothes…can you imagine that? He stole

my clothes.”

I nodded my head in understanding and added, “You should really teach him a lesson.”

He let out a cackle and spoke, “Oh I am going to teach him more than a lesson. Garron has gone to

talk to him about some pack business and treaty but I have made arrangements to turn it into a fight.

Alpha Garron is going to claw his face off and wipe out his smirk for being so cocky and arrogant. Bet

that would make the girls swoon over him even more.”

Steve let out a hysterical laugh and my mind went blank for a minute. Was alpha Garron going to hurt

him?

All of this was going to happen because of me and I didn’t want alpha Hayden to be in more trouble

than he already was.

My face was laced with worry and the scenario of Garron and Hayden fighting with Garron clawing at

his face made scared me witless. I didn’t want him to be injured because of me.

The moon was shining brightly in the night sky and the stars were twinkling around it. I looked at the

sky and sent a silent prayer to the moon Goddess, “please let him be okay.”

Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t just run into his pack unannounced and tell him about Garron’s plan. Now

that I think about it, I don’t even know where he lives or who all are there in his pack.

I hadn’t even finished my prayer when I was forcefully pulled up from the ground and Steve held me

close.

“You think you are too clever for me, don’t you? Trying to fish out information for your hero….you little

rat, let me show you how worthless you are.”

Saying so, he pulled my hair with one hand, making me wince in pain while he placed his other hand

on my shoulder and tore the sleeve away.

“Do you know what happens to someone who tries to be over smart with me? I put them down and

show them their place.”

With that, he placed his hand on another shoulder and ripped the sleeve apart, as his nails dug into my

skin.

The torn piece of the sleeve was still in his hand and he was laughing at me hysterically.

“You think I don't understand that you were trying to dig out information from me? That your petty little

mind can come up with brilliant ideas to outsmart me? Let me tell you what your true place is.”

I tried to not cry and closed my eyes as I felt his breath upon my face. He was gritting his teeth and

every spoken word was laced with anger and contempt.

My hands wanted to cover my bare shoulders but he closed his fingers around my wrist and held my

left hand behind my back.

“Not so fast are you?”

I could feel his stale breath upon my neck nearing my skin and I flinched. Before he could touch his

filthy lips, I turned around and pushed him away with all the energy I could muster.

He fell into the bed and lost his footing but I couldn’t care less.

There was one thing I could do...run away from him.

And that’s what I did.
