My Alpha Mate

Chapter Ten

When I wake up, I realize that I'm in someone's arms. At first I think they're Tyler's - who else could it be? - before I remember that Marius sold me out.

I jump out of those arms way too quickly, and end up falling on the ground.

The one clumsy werewolf.

"Are you okay?" A deep voice asks me.

"Oh, fine." I tell him sarcastically.

"Give me attitude again, and I'll make sure you don't wake up until next year." The gruff man says to me.

"I'm pretty certain your Alpha would be kind of mad if I'm unconscious for a year. Well, actually, I take that back. He'd probably award you $5000 and make you the new Beta."

"There is already a new Beta."

"Oh, right. The traitor Marius. I guess I shouldn't be surprised he betrayed us for a better position." I say rudely.

"Will you shut up?" The man asks, not so nicely.

"I will, but first, tell me your name." I command.

"My name is Ian," He says gruffly, "The real reason Marius joined our side."

And before I can figure out what he means, I'm knocked out again.

******************

When I again awaken, I'm strapped to a bed. I'm disoriented for a moment, before I remember that I've been kidnapped.

And betrayed.

Which, of course, gets me thinking about Marius, and new guy Ian. What did he mean, he was the real reason? Nothing makes you betray a pack except... mates.

Holy moly, they're mates!

So now I feel bad about being mad, because, what was he to do? Your mate is your mate, evil or not. And Ian must have more power than Marius, which means Marius has to be bad.

That makes loads more sense.

"Oh good, your awake. I was wondering if maybe Ian hit you too hard." I hear Marks voice.

"Ew, why are you here?" I ask before I think.

I feel something hit me in the cheek, pushing my head into the bed. Did that bast- bad man just punch me?

"Did you just hit me?! I don't know if you're aware of this, but I am technically your Luna, and punching me is against multiple laws. But then again, so is half of the other stuff you've done. Never mind." I swear they drugged me or something.

"Let me set some rules for you. A, talk back and you will be punished. B, try to run away and you will be punished, C, ask for any help from any member and you will be punished, D,-"

"Breath air and you will be punished, got it." Oh, wait.

"That's it. DAVID! BRING MS. COLLICK TO THE DUNGEON PLEASE!"

Well crap.

**************

The dungeon was different for one reason and one reason only- Mark wasn't there. It was the same temperature, same bed, same being strapped down.

But now it was David who stared at me creepily.

I had been lying here for hours, waiting for something bad to happen. And finally, it does.

He stalks toward me and I internally cringe. I know who this man is, one of the strongest warriors in the pack. I close my eyes, knowing that if I watch I will be likely to throw up. I want to be brave, but I can't.
