The Forbidden Alpha

Adea

“Leave him, Adea. There’s no time to mourn right now. We must find our mate.” Pulling myself away, I rushed past the arms, legs, and heads of more familiar faces. Fumbling in my weakened human state, I tried to find him.

In the corner of my eye, I saw movement. I turned and saw a pile rise up and fall as a shape I recognized pushed up through the bodies. Seeing his black hair my heart swells.

He pulls himself through and I do a quick once over and notice he’s naked. His body is painted in blood, his chest and abs beautiful as ever and unharmed. His eyes lock on mine and I can see the relief flood his face.

He stands up and I can feel the need to touch him grow and almost explode as he starts towards me. I can feel his need and his relief. Korra is mentally wagging her tail and urging me to run to him when I feel his shock… Shock fills his eyes and we frantically try to see what’s wrong. I look down at his chest… he’s ripped open…

There’s fresh blood seeping from his chest and my heart grows cold when the mate bond snaps. Korra howls in agony. Pain. I feel a gut-wrenching pain as I fall to the ground. I can’t rip my eyes away from my mate. He falls to the ground as I crawl to him.

I hear footsteps moving away from him. Korra is whining in my head. We’re too engrossed to notice when the footsteps get closer. There’s a sound near my head as he drops something. I feel a slight tear as he grabs my hair wrenching me along with him.

He drops something near my head and grabs my hair wrenching me along with him. Korra retreats to the farthest part of my mind.

The world is quiet and still. My mate is just out of reach when he starts dragging me away. Goddess knows where to. I can’t pull my eyes from the empty eyes of my mate. I hit my head and welcome the cold consciousness that takes me.

My body is moving back and forth. I strain against the darkness that’s trying to keep me under. My hands are restrained and I try to open my eyes. I can hear heavy breathing and feel a hot breath against my cheek.

I’m being pressed back and released. Something wet along my neck. I start to panic when I hear grunting. “Adea,” he moans.

Sharp teeth clamp down on my bottom lip drawing blood. My body still keeping that rhythmic motion.

“I’ve waited too long for you,” the voice says. My eyes open and I see long black hair above me, lips I’ve seen before, eyes that I’d recognize anywhere.

Shane. The fear doesn’t hit at once, his eyes aren’t looking at me but focused on something down between us. As my eyes trail down his bare chest, his abs flexing, and his hips thrusting. I watch as his hard cock pulls out of me.

His eyes close and he moans as he thrusts into me to the hilt making my body jerk back. Repeating the movements he starts moving faster. A loud ringing in my ears threatens to split my head open.

My hands are still restrained. “Korra?” I whisper call to her. I can’t hear or feel my wolf. I whimper when I feel his hard cock thrust into my warmth causing pain. His eyes snap open and I feel his hand clench my throat as his cold lust-filled eyes locked onto mine. The warmth I once saw there was completely gone.

“I chose you then and I choose you now,” Shane murmurs. He leans down, trailing his lips along my neck. Having no fight left in me I close my eyes, his grip on me tightening as he continues ravaging me. I hear his canines extend and feel them poised at my neck.

Sinking his canines deep into my neck, I scream, as his thrusts quicken. He comes undone and licks my wound to seal his mark. I feel his seed fill me as he growls, “Mine.”

Shane’s grip on my throat lessens and I feel his body weight press down on me as he collapses on top of me. His length still fills me and I wince when he moves, and I feel his seed drip out of me.

Staying still, I feel his chest rise and fall and when I pluck up the courage I look at his face. His eyes are closed and I can hear light snores fall from his lips.

Moments pass and he rolls over on the bed. I stare at the ceiling and look at the window. The moonlight spills in. Does the Moon Goddess enjoy my pain?

I slip off of the bed and walk to the open window. Looking outside I look at the territory, the night is filled with an eery silence.

Thoughts of escaping bring a smile to my face. No… I can’t escape. Looking down, I feel the urge to jump. I could escape him in death but… that would be too easy. He doesn’t deserve to live having everything at his disposal. He doesn’t deserve to rule.

I turn my head back to him on the bed, ass out, hair messy. I once considered him the closest thing I had to family.

I feel a warm liquid slowly sliding down my thigh. Looking down I realize the liquid is blood. Looking back at the bed I see his clothes on the floor, next to his sword.

My fingers twitch and my feet lead me to the bedside. Slowly, my hand reaches down and grips the blade. I wrap my other hand around the blade and call on strength I’m not sure I have.

Raising the blade above my head, I look down at him lying in bed and feel the tears run down my face. All I ever wanted, was to be loved and live by Ethan’s side. But he’s gone now, I’m alone, and I can’t… I’m not strong enough to live in a world without him.

I bring the sword down on Shane’s neck, the blade slices skin, blood splatters violently. I feel warmth wetness on my cheek and I raise the blade again, bringing it down again. This time it severs his head from his body.

The tears continue flowing without my approval. I drop the blade and turn to the window. I look up at the moon once more, “In my next life, I’ll save him. I don’t care how many times I’m reborn. I won’t live this life again… Never again,” I whisper to the Goddess before throwing myself out of the window.. My body hurls to the ground and the world goes dark.
