Embrace The Alpha's Mark (Under Major Construction)

Chapter Seven-You're A Fool

Chapter Seven-You're A Fool

I had no way to contact Abby and see if she was alright. I had made a rash decision out of panic and didn't fully think it through.

Why were their rogues in the forest? Why did the guy attack the Alpha? Were they good? The woman seemed nice but was that an act?

"God, I'm stupid." I whispered to myself.

How could I have let such a thing happen to my sister? I was the only family she had left and now I was gone from her life.

"Oh, Abby," I sobbed into my hands.

The Alpha couldn't hurt her though. She was safe from him and would hopefully be safe with the rogues that took her.

"I'll miss you," I cried and slumped further under the sheets of my bed.

The Alpha had locked me in my room so I was unable to leave. There was also a guard outside my door incase I tried to escape but I didn't try anymore.

I was here forever and I wouldn't have a mate. My mate would look for me but he'd never find me. I'll be alone for the rest of my life, living as the Alpha's slave.

There was no point to be excited about my birthday anymore. The only excitement I had was for my mate, who I'd never meet thanks to the Alpha.

What had I done to deserve a life as horrible as this? What had I done to have my parents ripped from my life ad now my sister?

I closed my eyes, crying myself to sleep.

I awoke to the sound of banging and opened my eyes. My head hurt and my neck throbbed with pain.

I raised my hand to my neck and felt dried blood. I frowned and went to my bathroom, looking at my reflection. I gasped at my image.

My long, dark brown hair was filled with twigs and leaves, my skin was covered in dirt, my blue eyes were swollen red, and dried blood was caked onto my neck.

Everything slammed into me like a tone of bricks and I stumbled back. My sister was gone and my tempt to escape had failed. I was mateless and today was my birthday.

I sighed with an ache in my chest. I glanced down at the sink and saw a crimson red dress lying neatly there.

I looked at it in disgust.

Crimson.

The color that stained my hands and mouth after I'd killed for the Alpha.

He'd make me wear it for the party today, celebrating my 18th birthday.

I closed my eyes, holding back the tears. I'd be strong. I'd be strong for Abby, wherever she was. I'd be strong for my parents, like they did for me when they took their last breath.

I took a nice long shower, letting the heat relax my muscles. All I had to do at the party was be there.

I knew no one would talk to me or even acknowledge me except for maybe Prissy who'd try to make me feel like shit.

I stayed in the shower, waiting until the water went cold but I stayed there even then.

I finally got out when I started to shiver.

I sighed again and wrapped myself in a fluffy towel after shutting the water off.

I walked to my closet and pulled on a just a long, baggy t-shirt. I climbed back over to my bed, allowing my wet hair to soak the back of my shirt.

I shivered and pulled the blankets up to my chin as I rested my back against the headboard of my bed and stared out the window across from me. a The Aloha had locked those from the outside as well, making sure I was fully imprisoned in the room.

He had been extremely angry at me for trying to escape. He was still probably angry today, that's most likely why I hadn't received breakfast yet.

I waited in my room for most of the day, though no one came to let me out.

After a while of just sitting on my bed, I was about to drift asleep but there was a knock on my door that jolted me awake.

"Yes?" I asked, shakily.

"Get ready and be at the door in ten minutes," A gruff voice responded and then I was met with silence.

I hit my head against the headboard and finally got up. I Went to the bathroom, brushing my now dry hair and then put the horrid dress on.

My pale skin stood out against the dark fabric and I felt like white paper sheets. I was so exhausted and pained that all the color had faded from my skin.

Who cares, it's not like anyone will notice me anyway.

I walked over to my closet, pulling out black flats and slipping them on my feet.

I then walked over to the door and knocked, signaling that I was finished getting ready.

The door unlocked and swung open. There stood the Beta, Ryan, who scowled when he saw me.

"Let's go, pup," He snapped and dragged me downstairs by my arm.

I winced at how painful his grip was but kept my mouth shut.

Everyone was downstairs in the living room, chatting with each other. No one noticed I had walked in and I was grateful for that.

I stayed in a corner farthest from everyone, keeping to myself. I didn't want to talk to anyone and I sure as hell knew that no one wanted to talk to me.

"Huh, so here's the birthday girl." Prissy sneered as she glared at me.

"Whatever Prissy, leave me be." I said but she ignored me of course.

"Ugh, that dress is hideous on you. Red is not your color." She said in disgust and her little group voiced their opinion in agreement.

"Well, see you later, bitch. I would say good luck finding your mate but that'd be false hope since you don't have a mate. No one as ugly as you could have a mate." She sneered and then sauntered off.

Usually Prissy's remarks and jabs do 't hurt but this one did. My heart felt shattered.

My wolf whimpered and I agreed with her. Prissy was probably right. I didn't have a mate and if I did he'd never accept me because I'm a monster. I'm a killer.

I glanced over at the stairs, wishing I could go back to my room when my eyes fell on him.

His back was strong and smooth, his white shirt clinging to the muscles underneath. His long lean legs were covered by dress pants and his raven black hair was toddled around like he'd ran his fingers through it many times.

He turned slightly to the side, giving me a fraction of his face and as if he felt my stare he turned and met my eyes.

My body stiffened and my breath caught. He was my mate.....and my Alpha.

He took a step forward but I shook my head and said something I'd never believed I would say to my mate, "You're a fool to think I'd accept you."
