OWNED BY THE ALPHAS {18+}

🐺THE OATH🐺

I sat by the fire, staring at the flames dancing in the ash as I drank the punch. It was starting to have an effect, my tongue numb, but my mind wasn't. It heard every screech and scream as the three alphas came out, grabbing another three girls, then another three until it was only me and two others. I was next.

I wasn't ready.

My heart raced as the screams finally quietened and I took another sip, hoping it would numb my mind even more. My body felt relaxed, my muscles not tense at all but my head was pounding. I leaned back, resting my head against the big cushions on the couch, my eyes fluttering closed.

I had avoided his eyes burning into me every time he had come through that damn door and the idea that I was going to be the next one he came to get, had my jaw clenching. I didn't want to be the next one screaming like the others that had gone through.

I'd kill for a coffee. Or a nap. I took the second option, slowly drifting while I waited.

The red eyes were in my dream.

I gasped awake and Nikolai was there, bending down, his eyes meeting mine.

"Your turn." He said holding his hand out. I looked between it and the door.

"Did you at least change the sheets?" I grumbled letting him pull me up. He smirked and led me through the ominous door. Braxton and Derik grabbed the last girls from their group and followed us through.

I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't the room that greeted us. There was no bed, no lanterns. Only the moon shining down on us through the opening in the ceiling, casting its red glare.

The three Alphas stood next to three concrete stands, each holding a golden goblet carved with the three symbols of wolf territory. A wave, a tree, and my own village's symbol, a vine with flower buds because the grasslands area had meadows stretching over every part of it that wasn't used for crops and animal farming.

The Alphas all wore the same mischievous smirk, the shadows playing on their faces, making them look even bigger, even more intimidating. Like they needed it. I was already nervous and I was sure the others were too. I was just as curious though. Surely they didn't expect us to fuck on the floor, so what the hell were we doing in the room with the goblets?

Nikolai stepped into the red rays of the moon.

His claw grew from the pointing finger on his hand, his eyes glowing red before he pierced his wrist with it.

We all gasped.

One of the girls whimpered, drawing the Alphas attention. They glared at her as she shrunk back, her chin wobbling.

Nikolai held his wrist over the first goblet, his blood dripping into it. He moved to the next goblet, then the final one. His eyes never left mine and I wanted to be disgusted by what he was doing because I knew what it meant, but I wasn't. I was even more intrigued.

He stepped forward and the shadows moved down his face, dancing across his abs, his tattoo. My mouth ran dry as I took him in. Strong, powerful muscle that had something stirring in me. Not entirely uncomfortable but it was foreign. I wanted to explore it further and when a smirk tugged at his lips, I wondered whether he could tell what I was thinking? What his body did to mine?

Derik and Braxton moved behind him, cutting into their own flesh with their claws, long thick talon things, dripping their blood into the goblets as Nikolai finally spoke.

"Here you take an oath. A blood oath of loyalty to the werewolf territory. You become part of us." He said in that deep, gravelly voice that had my stomach tightening. I shivered, crossing my arms across myself, the cold of the room trying to seep in past the feelings Nikolai pushed through me.
