The Legendary Red Wolf

Chapter 6

Flashback – Ruby's 8 years old

Its early afternoon and I'm lying on my bed, reading one of my favourite books, Dead Man's Cove by Lauren St John. I'm abruptly pulled out of my book by a loud crash from downstairs followed by growling. I slide tentatively off my bed and creep out of my room, fearing what I may find. I tiptoe down the stairs, avoiding the creaky areas and see blood leading to the kitchen. I stupidly follow the blood into the kitchen, and the sight that greets me, almost brings me to my knees. There my father lies, dead on the kitchen floor, blood pooling around him from a large gash across his neck. Standing over him, admiring his handiwork is his beta, best friend and my honorary uncle, Carlson.

A gasp escapes my lips as I cover my mouth with my hands, tears pool in my eyes as he turns to me an evil smirk plastered on his face and glint in his eyes. I spin on my heel and try to run but I barely make it a step away before his body crashes into mine, knocking me to floor where I hit my head and black spots appear in my vision. Everything goes dark and numb and I begin to slip unconscious hearing one last thing.

"Now we're really gonna have some fun," Carlson chuckles darkly.

A few hours later I wake up to a cold breeze and am immediately aware that I am my wrists and ankles are chained in place, opening my eyes I find my body bare. Looking about me fearfully I whimper the moment I spot Carlson, stood on the stage addressing some members of the pack maybe a dozen or two of them, mostly warriors, I note. With a quick flicker of my surroundings I conclude that we are in the hall of the pack house.

"As you can see here, I have killed off the previous Alpha, he was soft and often neglected his duties but no more. I, am the new Alpha!" he shouts to the crowd

The wolves cheer wildly and a few point and laugh at my terrified face. Carlson sees this and turns o look at me, seeing I'm awake and gives me an evil grin, shivers run down my spine.

"This as you all know is the daughter of Alpha Daemon and Luna Ivory and what a fine specimen she is, with her natural red hair, her black eyes and already developing body. She is ripe for the taking and she will be our entertainment and our pleasure." He says while his eyes scour my body

More cheers ring out and I feel bile rise up my throat as they scour my body. They betrayed me, I never thought that we had such heartless wolves in our pack, at least this is only a select few, I wager the rest of the pack don't know. I let my head droop and tears slide down my cheeks silently, Carlson notices this.

"Aww now the poor things crying, well she'll have something to cry about in a minute" he says "Any of you wishing not to take part may leave, those who want to will wait their turn, after all she isn't going anywhere"

Roughly a dozen warriors leave mostly the females who cast me a sorrowful look but don't bother to try and object. It's mostly the men and maybe a female or two stay. I whimper as my eyes dart about, Crimson, who no one knows I have yet whimpers as well and raises her hackles.

Carlson strides over and wipes the tears off my cheeks, to which I fight against pulling away, in fear of what he might do if I did. He smirks at me, staring deep into my eyes, he then looks down my body and strokes down the front of me, lingering slightly where my breasts were beginning to grow and continuing southwards, he runs his hands down my legs and then back up, resting them on my hips.

He looks back at me and smirks at the obvious terror on my face as I tremble slightly. The I notice him undoing his belt and my eyes widen to saucers, knowing what he is about to do. I wriggle madly, trying futilely to get loose and he punches me around the face, my head flies back into the pole behind me and I see spots for s second. Carlsons hand slides between my legs, over my entrance and then suddenly forces his fingers up into me. A scream rips its way out of my throat as I tense up, the pain, it's agonizing, he moves his fingers in and out fast and I cry loudly making him hit me again.
