The Alpha's Daughter

7

I had Missy held up by her throat against one of the stone walls of this room I was in.

"You are not going to kill my mother!" I said and my grip around her neck got tighter, she was struggling to breathe. I squeezed tighter and tighter and soon her eyes rolled to the back of her head, I saw her soul leave her body and I dropped her dead body on the ground.

But as she laid there she began to almost disappear into someone else. Missy's face was gone and it was replaced with a face of someone I've never seen before.

I heard slow clapping and turned to face Missy... wait what!

"N-no I just killed you." I said pointing to the dead body on the floor.

"Does that look like me Hayley?" She asked slyly. I looked down at the body again and sure enough it wasn't Missy. "Do you really think I'd be stupid enough to let myself come in here with you by myself? I glamoured one of our witches. She was simply repeating everything I was telling her. Though I never thought you'd kill her.." She trailed off. As she walked closer to me I backed up slowly. My back hit the wall behind me.

"Killing a witch is punishable by death you know, but lucky for you we need you alive in order to get what we want." She stated getting closer to me. "But don't think your getting away with this." She whispered close to my ear. It sent shivers down my spine.

"Bring her upstairs!" Missy ordered. In came two buff guys who I only assumed were the security detail. They each grabbed one of my arms and pulled me towards a wall. Wait what? I looked around the room quickly and realized that there weren't any doors. We were headed right for the wall and right as I thought I was going to slam into it we went right through. Stupid glamours.

They walked me up a flight of stairs and into an upper room. This room was bigger than the other and it had four stone walls, a cement floor and high ceilings. About 10-12 feet up there was a balcony that went all they way around the walls. Missy was there leaning against a metal railing looking down at me. There were a few women with her and two men.

The two guys holding me had chained each wrist, burning them because they were silver chains, then latching the chains onto hooks in order for my arms to be above my head. I tried to stay still so my hands wouldn't be burned any more. The men that had chained me walked up the stairs and started to whisper something to Missy though I couldn't quite figure it out because something was keeping me from listening.

After the guy was done talking to Missy, she and all the people she was with, left though a door that was behind her.

A few hours past and my arms were killing me. I was left alone to just hang from the ceiling. I heard a thump and I looked to the side and saw that Missy had come back to where I can see her. About ten or fifteen more people came through the doors as well.

They all took their seat around the balcony. All eyes were on me making me feel uneasy. Three large guys came to where I was. Two on the side of me and one in front of me.

The one in front looked back at Missy and nodded his head. Missy cleared her throat and began speaking.

"Because of the crime of murdering our late witch Tatyana, Hayley Black will be punished for her crime. Normally she would've been executed for this, but seeming as how we need her alive, she'll have to live. Don't think that will make us tone down our punishment. We all know how wolfsbane burns werewolves, and since our form of execution for killing another witch is burned alive, Ms Black here will just be covered in wolfsbane.... Until I think that her punishment could be over." Missy proclaimed. Just as she finished her proclamation of my punishment a bucket of wolfsbane was splashed onto my body.

I screamed with agony, it felt like being lit of fire. My skin was already showing the burns and welts from the wolfsbane. Then a slash went through my thigh with a silver knife. I grunted in pain, it felt as though the blade was doused in fire. All my senses were heightened since i was exposed to so much wolfsbane. So my pain tolerance dropped tremendously.

Then another bucket was dropped onto me, i screamed out again only letting some of it to get into my mouth causing my throat to burn. My throat felt like it was closing up. I struggled to breathe and it didn't help that one of the security guys shot a punch right to my gut.

I connected eyes with Missy and spit out my blood in her direction, flashing a grin. "Is that the best you can do?" I coughed, trying to conceal the pain I was in.

She nodded her head towards one of the guards and he clocked me right in the head knocking me out cold.

"What's our plan Ryder?" Braxton asked me as I was with my hands balled into fists in my hair. The amount of rage going through my body was about to send me over the edge. The only thing keeping me at bay was seeing how distraught Mackenzie was. Missy had delivered the message this morning about what we need to bring her in order to get Hayley back.

"I don't know." I said and Mack looked up at me. I tried to give her a warm smile but she saw through it, she knew I was hurting, she was too. I hate this, I hate not feeling in control of what can happen to my family.

I heard the front door of the pack house being swung open, then a thud, and a grunt followed behind. I raced down the stairs from my office to see what the problem was. I was met with a fuming Jet who had thrown a very beaten down and bloody Ash into the living room of the pack house.

"Jet, what's going on?" I questioned.

"It's his fault she's gone. His fucking fault. I would have my mate right now if not for him. He has to pay." Jet's eyes had turned black and his wolf had taken over control. Before he tried to continue to pummel Ash, I stopped him. "Beating the shit out of Ash will not help bring Hayley back Jet, and you know that. If anything he can help us." Jet looked at me as if i was crazy.

"How could we trust him?"

"I didn't say we had to trust him, but he could be used as some sort of bait or a distraction." I reasoned.

"Like hell! If you think I'm going to let the fate of my mate fall into idiot dogs you're mistaken." Ash spit out. "If anything you will help me get MY mate back or I'll kill you all then get her myself. I mean I already have to kill your Luna, so why stop there?" He sneered, I growled lowly when he spoke of Mackenzie. I'd kill him before he touches her.

"Jet go put him in the basement for holding while I figure out what our plan is." I ordered. Jet picked up Ash and began to shove him down to where the basement is. What the hell am I going to do?
