Snapped - A Virals fantic

chapter 4

A thunderous growl ripped behind me and I whipped my head to see Ben was enraged, and flaring. There's no words to describe the furious look in his eyes. With inhuman speed, he slammed me into his chest. "I swear if you touch her..." he took a moment to enhance the fury. "I will rip you piece by piece and tear you limb from limb. Then, I'll burn you, and after I burn you, I'll burn your ashes." I widened my eyes, disgusted by his words. "Ben, calm down, please." I was as calm as I could be in that current situation. He growled. "No. How can I anyway, he will not touch a single hair in your head. I will not hesitate to rip his heart out."

"Ben please calm down. I'm begging you, you could hurt him."

"Good. He deserves it."

"That's now how we deal with things and you know that. Now, release your flare and we will talk about this and negotiate some sort of truce."

"Tory, he wants you. I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I'll die before that happens, even then, I'll find a way to hu-"

"Ben, stop. Just stop. I can't even look at you right now. Just stop talking."

He looked at me with hurt and pain in his eyes instead of anger and rage. "Tory? Wha- what are you talking about?" His voice cracked and I almost fell apart, but I didn't. I was silent while searched for words, and needed a minute to sober up.  "You're talking about gruesome ways to kill this man. Its making me sick to my stomach. To think, would you actually do something like that?" His eyes began to swell, his flare died down, and he opened his mouth to say something, but buzz-cut cut him off. "Your words are very hurtful. Daggars to my heart and quaking in my boots. Tsk, tsk. This little pup has a big bark but no bite because his mate isn't the fighter kind. That's disappointing I'm sad to say. Ah, speaking of the devil, Miss Brennan, if you will please cooperate, I have a deal. Interested?"
I had to hold Ben and coax him not to rip buzz-cut's head off through every little word. Then,I stared at the floor a moment, thinking of the mention of a deal, then nodded. Buzz-cut smiled. "Fantastic! Now, here's what I propose, you stay with us, be our good little lab rat, and we leave your pack alone," he paused for emphasis, "alive." 
Be our good little lab rat? He did not just call me a lab rat. "What do you mean 'lab rat'?" I ask under my breath.
"Well, a lab rat. I want to know what makes you tick miss Brennan. Why are you stronger than the rest? What makes you alpha?"

Alpha

Am I really alpha? Am I the leader of the Virals? If so, why me?
