His Alpha mate

Chapter 7: Mate?

Stormer's pov:

I have been there for at least a hour now. The silence is starting to terify me. In my old pack, the silence was bliss, becouse when it was silent nobody was hurting me. But here I just feel like I am waiting for something to kill me. Like my life is on the timer. It's horrible.

What do you think they will do to us?

I don't know. Torture us? I remeber that when Alpha Julius found a rogue on our teritory, they would torture him for days before hanging him up on one of the trees at the edge of our teritory as an example. But this is the Alpha Queen, it's rumored that she kills her own packmembers for fun. I don't want to even think about what she will do to us.

I heared Thunder whimper at this. I wanted to take my words back, but knew they were true. I felt like I could feel all of the scars on my back burning even though I was in my wolf form. I was terrified.

And it is true that they say that about the Alpha Queen. She killed hundred wolves from Alpha Jason's pack and nobody knows why. The most common speculation is that she just didn't like them. It is also rumored that they were burned alive. I shuddered.

Before I could drown in my thoughts the door to the cells opens and in comes the guard that trew me in here, with a tray of food in his hands. I sink even further into the wall and lower my eyes to the ground, trying not to show any disrespect that could get me punished.

The guard doesn't even look at me and just unlocks the door and sets the food on the ground then locks it again and leaves. I stay still for the next 10 minutes to make sure he wasn't coming back and then slowly make my way to the tray. I couldn't contain my suprise at the food on the tray. It was raw rabbit meat, a pretty heavy portion for a prisoner, but I wasn't going to complain, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning when I was able to catch a possum. Not the finest meal, but I couldn't be picky. This was like a royal dinner compared to that.

I quickly scarfed it down, it was absolutely delicious. I haven't felt this full pretty much ever. I still didn't quite believe that this is what they served to prisoners. Maybe it was drugged so they made it so good I couldn't tell it was drugged. Either way, I was just happy I had a full stomach for once.

I curled into a ball beside the wall and shut my eyes. Sleep sounded like a good idea right now, god knows if I will be able to sleep in the days that are coming.

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

I jolted awake at the sound of voices on the other side of the door to the cellar. At first I was disoriented. I looked around and whimpered when the realisation set in. I scrumbled to my feet and pressed myself into the corner of my cell, trying to apear as small, submissive and non-threatening as possible.

The door suddenly opened and I started shaking, casting my eyes down I slightly lowering my head in submission. Until I smelled the most delicious scent I could imagine. It smelled like strawberries and cinnamon.

Mate!

My eyes wident. I quickly looked up and my heart sank just as quickly. Becouse the scent belonged to the Alpha Queen.

I lowered my head back down and tried to look even smaller. This was not good, I was so screwed.

She is beautiful, like a princess from a fairytale.

I had to agree with Thunder on that, she truly was beautiful. But sometimes beauty and cruelness walked hand in hand. Thunder whined at that thought, but didn't say anything else. He was scared too.

I heared them talking but I couldn't make out the words, at this point I just sat there hoping for a quick death. My eyes stung with tears but I held them back trying to at least have a little bit of dignity in my last moments.

The door to my cell suddenly opened. Stratled I looked up at the Alpha Queen, now standing in front of me with an unreadable expresion on her face.

I don't know why I did what I did in the next couple of minutes, perhaps my instincts took over.

I bolted through the door to my cell and then out of the cellar into the town. I sprinted through the streets, the other werewolfs jumping out of my way and calling after me.

Until a soul-chilling howl pearced through the air.

Few of the werewolfs in my proximity immediately shifted and started chasing me, the ones that didn't shift were trying to catch me with their bare hands. I started panicking jumping out of reach and trying to get out of the town. A few minutes later I burst into the forest that surrounded the town and started running even faster.

That was until I heared the sound of heavy paws hitting the ground almost right behind me. Then I felt a very heavy body on top of me pinning me down. I tried to escape the wolf but it was at least two times my size. I suddenly felt its fangs around my neck and stilled in suprise and fear at how big they felt. I whimpered showing my neck in submission.

Right at that moment I cought the wolfs scent and I could swear my blood did froze in my veins this time. Becouse the scent belonged to my mate.

What now? What should we do now Stormer? What will she do to us?
