Cross My Heart

Trapped

A/N So uh this chapter is total shit and not as long as I planned...sorry about that. It'll hopefully get better from here!! I've got big plans for this story I just have to figure out the smaller details.

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

The howls grew louder as they ran closer to the center of the pack territory, waking the girl.

Her head throbbed with pain as she started to regain her senses. 

Ryne felt the girl stir in his arms and started to run faster, worrying that she would come to before they reached the Alpha. 

"Shit not yet," she heard the man holding her whisper under his breath. She couldn't imagine that her waking would cause him worry, she was far too weak to do anything about her capture at this point.

With her head throbbing she tried to open her eyes to survey her surroundings, see if there was any possible chance of escape before they ultimately locked her up like her last pack did. Cracking open her eyes she was met with blinding bright light causing her to shut her eyes as fast as possible. Summoning the courage to face the brightness again her thoughts were interrupted as a new voice broke out in whatever room they had taken her too.

 "This pathetic excuse of a wolf is really it?" anger laced his voice as he scowled down at the girl.

Knowing this must be the alpha she decided maybe opening her eyes wasn't a good idea because of the chance that her eyes would meet his. That was a big no no. Yet just as she decided to play dead the alpha ruined her plan.

"I know you're conscious," the new mans voice firmly stated, "so open your eyes".

He had let some of his alpha power leak into his voice turning his statement into a command. So with no other choice at hand she opened her eyes, cursing her lowly omega status once again. Slowly opening her eyes she let them get accustomed to the bright light, lest make the same mistake again with the blinding light. After a couple blinks her vision adjusted and she quickly diverted her gaze to the floor. A beautiful red rug covered the floor and as she took in the mesmerizing designs sown into the carpet she was momentarily distracted from her situation.

"I SAID LOOK ME IN THE EYES YOU GARBAGE." the Alpha's booming voice filled the room and shook her to her core. Without looking up she could feel his stare burning a hole through her head. This was one command she couldn't follow, because as long as she was technically still a part of the Redwood pack she was bound to the previous commands of the Redwood Alpha. And he had commanded her to never look into the eyes of her superior, which in her case was pretty much everyone. His command did make her snap her head up, but she kept her eyes on the carpet. Every fiber in her being fought with the two commands that had been given to her, making her head throb even more. Not being able to handle the intense throbbing in her head she grabbed her head in her hands, opening her mouth in a silent scream, startling the beta, who was still holding her, by her sudden movement. He dropped her to the red carpet and she hit it with a thud. 

"God dammit Ryne!" the Alpha grabbed the girl from the floor and dropped her on the couch.

"Why does she look like she's screaming?" Ryne looked to his Alpha with confusion.

The Alpha sighed before answering, "She must still be part of the Redwood pack which means Alpha Malik's commands have a higher authority over mine at the moment", frustration evident in his voice.

"Shouldn't you undo your command then?" Ryne questioned his Alpha, receiving a sharp look from the Beta for questioning the Alpha like that.

"You're lucky we've been friends forever or I'd rightly smack the shit out of you for asking such a dumb question," the Alpha raised his eyebrows at Ryne before answering what he thought was obvious, "I want her to suffer a little bit longer."

As much as she wanted to pay attention and learn as much as she could from their conversation she could barely catch every third word because of the insurmountable pain squeezing her skull.  Finally the Alpha released her from his command, "You don't have to look me in the eyes." Free of the pain she gasped for air, her breath no longer stuck in her throat.

"Well I can't do much until she renounces the Redwood pack or they renounce her." He slammed his hand against the wall, causing the girl to shrink as far as she could into the leather couch. 

As the men around her started to argue about what to do about her situation she took the opportunity to look around the room she was in. From her place where she was laying on the couch she could see the side of a desk right in front of her with two chairs pushed near it for visitors. Across the room she could see the door leading out of what she decided must be an office. In-between her and freedom however stood 3 high powered men that she knew she couldn't fight against, especially in her current state. Knowing her odds of surviving a fight against a Alpha, Beta, and Gamma were slim to none, and with the exhaustion finally kicking in pushing her adrenaline away, she let herself drift into sleep hoping for a better tomorrow even though she knew it was only downhill from here.

"Not to change the subject or anything but I think she passed out again Seth", the Beta informed his Alpha after looking at the girl they were arguing about.

"Well I guess I won't be getting my chance with her tonight" Seth said, imagining all the things he has planned for her. "That's okay though, I've waited this long I can wait a little more." his eyes darkened as he continued to think of what's in store for the monster laying on his office couch. Giving her one last look before telling his Beta to lock the girl in the makeshift cell room in the basement he couldn't help but feel bad for the girl. She looked so small and defeated curled into an impossibly tight ball on the couch. Just as quickly as he thought that he pushed the thought out of his mind. She wanted them to feel bad for her and take her into the pack. Alpha Malik had warned him, just as he had warned all the packs, to not fall for her act because once they did it would be the end of their pack just as it had been for all the other packs.

He would not be fooled like his brother had been.
