The Alpha's Witch

Chapter Three: Killian

Chapter three: ~ Lina

I was vaguely aware I was waking up. There were noises around me but they were all muffled. A dull throbbing was felt in my head and I willed my eyes to open. Yet no matter how much I tried they would not open. I couldn't move either. I began to panic a little but that wouldn't actually get me anywhere. I tried to remember what happened before this but the pain in my head only increased. I couldn't for the life of me remember.

I decided to listen instead and see if I could make out anything that was being said.
"Her injuries were deep," says one. "....could be out for days."
"That's not good enough." Another growls. The first voice mutters an apology. I felt weary again and drifted back into my unconscious state.

---------------------------------------------

When I woke up next I was able to open my eyes. The room was dark lit by a dull lamp and I was thankful for that. I couldn't see any lights from under the curtain so I guess it must have been night. How long I was it for I didn't know. I still felt slightly groggy and when I say up I winced in pain. Looking down I noticed I was in a white nightgown.

Wherever I was, the people here had no taste in clothes. Slowly getting up I wince again but ignore the pain and look for something more comfortable to wear. The room was large and consisted of a couch, king sized bed, tv and a table. There were three doors, the one next to the bed obviously an en suite. The one opposite the bed I'm guessing was the way out and the one to my left was maybe a walk in wardrobe.

I took my chances and walked into the one to my left, which luckily was a walk in wardrobe. Looking around I decided I was in a males room. The smell was too masculine to be female as well. After rummaging around and making a bit of a mess of what was once an immaculate room I had decided in pulling a large hoody on. It pooled to my knees and I had to roll up the sleeves a bit.

Walking out I looked around. There was nothing I could really use for shorts or trousers and I was growing annoyed. I hated this dress/ nightgown thingy. Sighing after pulling up short I walk to the door that I had guessed left the bedroom. Once again I was right and was greeted with a long hallway. The red carpet was thick and looked soft yet worn. Obviously some pacing and walking had been done a lot on this part. I walked slowly down the corridor.

Every step I took made my breath falter. It hurt to breath and by the time I made it a little down the corridor I had to sit with my back against the wall trying to catch my breath. My lungs were burning and I was feeling dizzy. To my right I could hear voices and strained to hear above the heavy beating of my heart.

"What are you going to do Alpha?" A voice asks.

"I don't know, I don't fucking know," the 'Alpha' says growling in frustration. "This is a mess, she should be dead! She's vile and everything that's unnatural. A little witch bitch!"

I feel as if I've been slapped but try and keep calm. I suddenly understood what was going on and what had happened last night.

"You could always reject her?" The same voice asks again. A loud growl makes me whimper and a loud slam is heard.

"No!" The Alpha barks out. "I will not reject what's rightfully mine! I just need to destroy her get rid of her witch like ability."

"Do you think she knows?"

"....no. She didn't realise..."

I slowly and shakily get up. I continue to walk down the corridor and find a staircase. My lungs are burning again and halfway down the stairs I have to stop and sit down again. I try and control my breathing and lean my head against the banister.

--------------------------------------------
I must have dozed off at some point and was awoke by a loud growl. In front of me stood a man...he was looking pale and staring at something above me. Turning my head I see a tall muscular guy growling, his eyes pitch black as he walks towards the man in front of me.

"How dare you." He growls and I recognise his voice from earlier. "How fucking dare you touch what is mine!"

"I...I'm sorry Alpha she was just sitting there asleep and..." Before he could finish the Alpha had sent him flying down the stairs with a single punch to the jaw. I wince as I hear the bones crunch and try to hide into the hoody I'm wearing. It felt warm and safe. I carefully pull my knees under it and hide my head away from everything.

I can feel myself shaking and take deep breaths. My body still hurts but staying here isn't an option. I didn't want to stay and be a mate. I wasn't even supposed to have a mate for christs sake. How the hell did this happen? I especially didn't want a mate who was the Alpha that still purged the witches. He would kill me for sure. His words of destroying me echo in my head and I whimper.

My feelings are a jumbled mess and I try and separate each one. It's almost impossible though and instead I curl up more inside the hoody which at the minute is acting more like a tent. I hold back my tears which I'm sure are more from frustration than anything else.

"Witch," the Alphas voice says. "Stop hiding," I ignore him and stay curled up. I hear a frustrated sigh before feeling the hoody being removed from around my knees. Then I'm being carried bridal style. I try to get out of his grasps but cry out in pain and stop trying. He says nothing else to me, just takes me back to the room I was in before.

He places me down on the bed and I cry in pain as he does it non too gently. He growls and I whimper. The Alpha power rolling off him is uncomfortable. Yet I won't submit to it partly because I can't. I've never submitted and won't start now but the power he holds when he exudes it like he is makes me really uncomfortable.

"What is your name witch?" He asks. I stay quiet not wanting to talk. My throat feels dry and I need to sort myself out before being able to speak strongly. "I said what is your name witch?"

"M...Melina," I finally say taking deep breaths. "My name is Melina."

"Get some sleep Melina, you look like hell itself." He says pushing me to lie down. He inhales deeply and I try not to flinch.

"I don't want to sleep," I mutter "I want to go home..." Wherever that is. I highly doubt I'd be welcomed back to where I last stayed. No doubt they knew I was here and slagging me off.

"You are home! And I refuse to let you leave. You will stay here Melina and I will lock you in of you disobey me." His voice had changed and he was using his Alpha command on me. I glared defiantly at him.

"No!" I say "I won't stay here! You can't keep me locked up! You're commands don't work on me Alpha."

I see his jaw clench in irritation before he narrows his eyes at me.

"Then I have no choice but to lock you in." He says before leaving and slamming the door. I run after him but cry out in pain and fall to the floor as the lock clicks into place. I feel the tears I had been holding back break free and I curl up where I am waiting for the darkness to take hold of me again.

----------------------------------------------

An hour later I'm still awake. My eyes are closed but I hear the lock being undone. Footsteps approach my frame and lift me up. I'm too tired and weak fight back right now so I let whoever it is carry me and place me under the covers. Opening one eye ever so slowly I see the Alpha walk towards the bathroom.

"What's your name?" I mumble as I feel sleep finally reach me. There's a long awkward silence that envelopes us and I begin to think he hadn't quite heard me when finally I get a reply just as he closes the bathroom door.

"Killian."
