The Alpha

Chapter 5

Riley's POV

              In normal cases, I wouldn't have accepted her challenge, because I don't want anyone to have a doubt about me being an alpha. But I can't risk losing my mate, my only blessing in my life I don't want to lose him.

             "I want this fight right after you get your whippings" She announces with an evil smirk as she observes my expression, expecting me to back down. I give an innocent smile to her which automatically diminishes her smirk. I sense Ryan trying to help me but seriously, I want to prove myself.

            "I accept it Jenna" I declare before my mate got a chance to deny, earning most of the gasps from the pack members. My mate claps his hands in nervousness as he turns from side to side, I think to think what he wants to say next.

            He is truly handsome, I couldn't get over the feeling of my hand caressing his cheek. His skin was so smooth that I never want to take my hand away from him. "Way to get distracted Riley," my wolf says making me smile like crazy in front of these people.

            "Alex cuff her hand" he orders. My wolf whines at the thought of him punishing us but I have already explained to her that it's his responsibility to do that. I can sense how guilty he feels for punishing me, only I can sense it.

            I walk to the center of the ground and Alex, the beta of this pack walks behind me staring at the ground. "I am sorry luna" he whispers as he takes my hand and cuffs my hands to the chains. He has always apologized for the wrongdoings of Ryan and I highly appreciate Ryan for having Alex as his beta. I smile looking at him accepting his apology.

             Ryan walks towards me with a whip in his hand, the end coated with silver and it has a blade-like structure which will surely cut your skin. I look into his eyes as he looks into mine forgetting the audience or the punishment. His eyes have the power to drag me out of this world.

            Ryan coughs awkwardly breaking the staring contest and peoples curious glance. "Any requests?" He asks and I shake my head no. Then suddenly I got a thought.

             "I want you to count," I say with my head held high. To be frank, I can't look Ryan's face now, he is more in pain compared to me. The mate bond does take its toll or else why would he even feel sorry for me. He nods his head without looking at me as he walks behind me.

         "Start it already, I want to kill this bitch after this" Jenna shouts making Ryan growl. His growl for a second made my chains vibrate and silenced the whole pack.

          He is angry like really really angry which kinda turns me on. "Are you ordering me what to do Jenna?" He asks in a threatening voice making Jenna shut up that second.

               The first strike comes as he loudly counts one...

Mr. Alpha Ass  POV

            I count one as I give her the first strike. I expected a whimper or a scream I get neither. Is she for real ?? I can see the bruise forming on her smooth skin. I love her and I am yearning to kiss her every wound forming on her skin by me.

            I hate myself and for a second I couldn't tear my gaze away from her skin. "Finish it already alpha. You don't want to tire her out" Alex whispers and I nod my head in reply.

           I count and hit and look at her bruises for which I am the reason behind it. The bruises and cuts are a constant reminder that before even I got a chance of kissing her and telling her how much I love her, I made her suffer and I gave her the reason to hate me.

          I see the sweat rolling down her neck and blood trailing down from her wrists from how strong the cuffs are around her small wrists. If she doesn't stop now she can't be strong for her fight. The silver is wearing her out.

         The slut has clearly planned it out to challenge Riley after this.  Jenna knows Riley doesn't back down from a challenge and that bitch used it to her advantage.

         My wolf, even though he whines seeing the blood and cuts, he is proud that she didn't whimper or stopped me. She is a strong alpha and I should know about her past as soon as possible. I should know about her pack and how come she doesn't cry out in pain when I whip her as strongly as possible.

          She surely does have a bad past and I will know and help her in any way possible. I reached the last count and when I look at her I feel like my heart has been stabbed. She looks barely alive, she is on the verge of dying and it is because of me. This is all because of me...
