The Alpha King is My Mate

Pain

Pain. I'm in so much of it. His teeth ripped open my skin and he's draining me of my blood. I can't move or scream. Jack is screaming at him to stop. But this disgusting man on top of me doesn't give him a glance.
He groaned loudly and ripped his fangs out. The pain increased. He licked it and smiled widely, his eyes back to normal.
"Amazing. I'll definitely be back." He kissed me roughly. I could taste my blood.
He dropped me and locked my door of iron bars.
"YOU FUCKING LEECH!!" Jack shouted at the top of his lungs. Nate glared at him.
"Do you want the same?" He hissed.
Jack stood up and threatened him. Nate began striding over to his cell.
"No....please. Stop." I whimpered. Nate stopped and retracted his fangs.
"Fuck this." And he disappeared.
I don't know what Jack was saying to me, because I fell asleep.

VICTOR'S POV
"LOOK AGAIN!!! AND DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU FIND HER!!!" A chorus of 'yes Alpha' responded and the group left to search for my mate.
I'm going crazy. I can't believe I let her slip from my grasp. I don't even want to think about what that bastard is doing to her. I just have to find her as soon as I can.
"Victor, I'm sending another group out. I'll be leaving with them." Luke rushed. I stood up.

"I'm coming with you." We both rushed to the back of the palace and called a group of fifteen trained fighters and trackers.
"WE'RE HEADING NORTH THIS TIME.I WANT YOU ALL SPREAD OUT AND NOTICING EVERYTHING THAT DOESN'T BELONG. FOOTPRINTS, CLOTHES, SCENTS." My wolf began to take over. " IF YOU FIND HER, DON'T TOU-" A burning sensation covered my entire body. I fell to my knees, taking in deep breaths.
"Alpha!!" Everyone surrounded me. I shooed them away to find out what was happening. The pain was mostly in my neck. This isn't my pain. Its Scarlett's.
I sucked some air. "He bit her....THAT SON OF A BITCH IS HURTING HER!!!" Kane took over. "START LOOKING!!! LETS GO!!" Everyone obeyed my command.
While we searched for her, I kept stumbling. The pain was pretty bad. And I could only feel half of it.
"Alpha, I think you should rest for a few minutes. You look pale." I instantly became angry.
"I don't have a few fucking minutes!! I have to find her!!!" He backed off, muttering an apology.
Hours passed. Still no sign of her or the leech. Everyone was tired and so was I. And I needed everyone at their best in case we needed to fight.
"Let's head back. We'll start again in 8 hours. In the mean time, Luke, send another group."
We got back to the castle. Everybody went straight to their rooms or their houses.
I went straight to my room, ignoring anyone who tried to talk to me.
I showered and lied down to get some rest, but I couldn't. Scarlett wasn't here. She's not here with me. So I can't rest until I find her.

SCARLETT'S POV
"Scarlett? Hey, time to get up. Please wake up this time." I felt a cold hand on my back. Whoever it was, shook me a little. I groaned and rolled to my side.
"It hurts." I croaked. He rubbed my upper arm.
"I know. But you have to get up now. You need to eat something." I painfully sat up. My entire body was sore but he only bit my neck.
"Am I a vampire?" He laughed and shook his head.
"He'd have to do a little more for that. Eat something. Your food is right there." He pointed to the corner right in front of me. I slid it over with my foot. With difficulty, of course.
"Here, eat this." I gave him the pickle and fish. The smell made me want to vomit.
"Thanks. How are you feeling?"
"Cold. My stomach hurts really bad and the fish and pickles aren't helping." There was disgust in my voice.
"You probably need to eat something solid. First drink some water." I did what he said and felt a little better afterwards. But my stomach still kind of hurt.
"How long was I out?" I rubbed my face and tried waking myself up a bit more.
"About a day and a half. You looked like a ghost by the time he was done. I didn't think you'd ever wake up." He slumped back onto the wall. He had gained a bit more weight. His cheek boned were less visible. And his ribs weren't on full display, though I can still see them.
His head snapped up. He looked angry. I don't know why though.
Then I heard it. A clicking sound coming closer.
"Who is it?" I whispered to him.
He growled. "Nate's whore."
Then she appeared. Vanessa was standing there, in her revealing clothing and heels. She was horribly bruised and beaten. I felt sorry for her at one point. But then I remembered she was helping Nate.
She unlocked the door. She looked sad and angry. She had no makeup on, it made her look really pretty.
She didn't glare at me. Or seem disgusted by me. She just stood there, staring at me. I felt uncomfortable and scared. She looked like she'd have breakdown in a second.
She let out a deep sigh. "How does it feel?" She smirked. "To be away from your mate?"
I frowned. I honestly felt like crap. I really missed him and I haven't even been gone for a week.
"Not great, Vanessa." I sighed. She laughed a little. Then she became serious.
"What's it like?" I looked at her confused. "To have a mate that cares about you?"
"Uuhh, I guess you can say it feels nice. Like you know they won't ever hurt you intentionally. And that they'll always take care of you." I fumbled with my fingers. She laughed loudly.
"Stop bullshitting. Tell me what its really like."
"I'm not lying. If you'd just let me go, so you can find your mate, you can see for yourself." Immediately after I said that, she started sobbing and wiping tears from her eyes.
"My mate couldn't give a shit if I died. I never thought I had one. I'm twenty one years old!! Victor was everything I ever wanted. But he didn't want me. He wanted you!! He wanted his fucking mate. The man I loved wanted you." She seethed through her tears. "And now, I found my mate. I thought I had a chance again. But he didn't want me either!! I'm just his damn sex toy. A punching bag. The man that was suppose to love and care for me, wants you!! For the second time, you've done this to me!!" By the end of her rant, I felt paralyzed. She loved Victor, but he didn't feel the same for her. And Nate, he's her mate. He did this to her. The small cuts and purple bruises are from him.
"I didn't know. I never meant for this to happen to you. We can leave, right now. I won't tell Victor about your part in this. Nate will be handled and you won't have to see him ever again." She sobbed and laughed bitterly.
"I can't leave." She looked me in the eyes. "I love him. I don't want to, but I do. If I leave, I'll die." Then she painfully grasped me upper arm. "And its all your fault. I tried to live happily with Victor, but you got in the way of that. I finally find my mate, and he wants you instead. A disgusting, ugly, fat human who I bet can't even run a small pack. You'll pay for what you've done to me. I don't care if Nate wants you as his. You will die by my hand. It'll be slow, painful, and Victor will be watching." She threw me against the wall and slammed the door so hard, the rest of the cells shook violently.
"Scarlett?" Jack called from his side of the bars. "I won't let either of them do anything to you. We'll get out of here. I promise." I smiles weakly as a tear slid down my face. I appreciated how he was trying to make me feel better, it wasn't working, but I wasn't going to tell him that.
"Why don't you try and get some more sleep. You're still whiter than a sheet of paper." I laughed and nodded my head.
But I know I won't be getting much.
