Claimed by the Alpha || Bang Chan

Chapter 4: The Rival

I and the pack stand frozen in the shadow of a huge, blood-drenched stranger. His vicious eyes are trained on me.

"Your father told me I would find you here. Time to go, (Y/N)."

My father?

He takes a step toward me and I step back, nearly running into Lee Know.

"Hyunjin. Shit. He found us." he says with a growl in his voice.

"Hyunjin?"

Han whispers in my ear, clutching I.N close.

"He's Taecyeon's right-hand man, and he's ruthless."

Hyunjin is deep in the house now, circling me like prey. I back up the stairs.

"You're a delicious little thing, aren't you? Your father was right to make you my mate."

"I will kill you before you touch me."

A low, sarcastic laugh boils out from his blood-stained mouth.

"Good. I like a little challenge in my conquests. It makes my submission that much better."

"But (Y/N) is Bang Chan's true mate!'

Han claps a hand over I.N's mouth, but it's too late. Hyunjin chuckles, crouching down to I.N's level.

"Yeah, we all felt that little soul bond the other night, didn't we, boy? But that doesn't matter."

In a flash, Hyunjin is behind me. He locks my arms in a deathgrip.

"Once I mate and breed her properly, their little "bond" will mean nothing."

Hyunjin sniffs my neck. My gut twists with revulsion.

"Ugh...go to hell, you monster." I growl at him.

"You don't know the meaning of hell yet, girl. But I'll show you what it's like."

Hyunjin leans into me, but someone hits him from the side, knocking me out of his grasp.

"She said no. You have no right to claim her."

Felix lunges, but Hyunjin throws him off, launching his body 20 feet to smack hard into the wall.

"Felix!" I yell.

"Now, then..."

Hyunjin rushes me, shoving me into the window. My head wacks the glass with a loud crack.

Shit. I need to get out of his grip.

I twist and throw a roundhouse kick. My foot lands, but it barely moves him.

"Is that all you've got for me? How disappointing."

My vision blurs as dozens of enemy wolves rush in, forcing the pack to surrender.

"C'mon. You can give me a little more."

Hyunjin leans in close enough that I can smell his foul, metallic breath.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Suddenly, I see Bang Chan in the entryway, tall and furious. A wave of relief floods my body.

"Bang Chan...save the others!"

When he catches my gaze, his eyes flash gold with intense rage. For a moment, time slows, and I feel it again; that heat, that unmistakable pull toward Bang Chan.

"Look who it is. The little stray pup."

Bang Chan growls, low and threatening, as he takes a step forward.
