Louisa's POV
"Stand up, she-wolf," Alpha Lucas commanded.
His marvelous dark blue eyes changed into navy blue under the dim light in the tent.
He was wearing a crease-free ceremonial suit.
He lowered his head to unbutton his collar.
His chiseled side silhouette made me want to scream. I had to hold the edge of the bathtub so firmly to suppress my impulse to jump at him and rip off the clothes from his muscular body.
I couldn't get it out of my system. It was the mating call, the primal instinct of reproduction that all the wolves followed in their life cycles.
"You just don't learn, do you?" He walked towards me and removed his belt.
I knew what he was about to do, so I covered my head with my arms.
But he didn't beat me. Instead, he pulled me out of the bath and made me stand up in the bath.
His gloved hand grabbed my neck and pulled me towards him.
"Whenever I ask you to do something, do it right away. Do you understand?"
I nodded in fear.
"Say it out." He looked at me and said.
His lips were next to mine. He could easily suck my lips and chew them until they bled.
But he didn't. He kept perfectly still and looked down at me.
I felt suffocated by the intensity of his gaze. My chest moved up and down in a volatile way and I just couldn't stop panting.
He pulled my hair and said, "I won't repeat myself."
"What do you want from me?" I wept in frustration. "Do you want my love? Because you will never get it!"
"I want a lot of things from you, she-wolf, but love isn't one of them." He smirked while his eyes were lurking all over my body.
His teasing made me shiver like a sift. I was completely terrified.
I saw my clothes from the corner of my eye and I knew Colt's comb knife was in them.
I knew what I had to do for survival.
He grabbed my arms and lifted them on top of my head. Then, he moved closer to me and said, "Don't even think about it, she-wolf. I'm not a fucking hog."
"Please get out of my mind!" I shook my head and said.
"That would be physically impossible. We're connected, she-wolf. I'm permanently inside of you. Every single inch of your body and mind belongs to me," he said.
His deep voice made my legs so soft that I couldn't even stand up straight.
At that moment, I realized that there was no way for me to fight him because I had lost even before the start of the battle.
I was grilled and tortured by the mixture of fear, anger, and lust in my heart.
Eventually, I gave up fighting.
"Please don't do this to me," I whispered, "Alpha, I don't deserve you. I'm nobody. Could you please just leave me alone...?"
"So you could be with Finn?" He asked in a cold voice.
"Please don't hurt him, Alpha. I'll be a good girl and do everything you ask me to," I begged.
Alpha Lucas suddenly got agitated. The vein on his forehead became visible.
"What the fuck did you just say?" He roared.
"Please don't hurt Finn. He's..." I could continue because tears started to fall down my cheeks and got into my mouth.
The bitter taste of my tears made me gasp in pain.
Alpha Lucas pulled me out of the bath and dragged me to the floor before throwing me on the bed.
He pressed himself against my body and said in a low intimidating voice, "What? What the fuck he is that I'm not?"
I turned my head away and said, "He's everything to me. Alpha, I'll do everything. I promise that I'll serve you. Treat me like your fucktoy and do whatever you want to me. Please don't hurt Finn. I can't do without him."
"I'm your fucking mate! Not him!" Alpha Lucas growled.
He spread my legs wide open and pressed himself into me roughly.
The moment he got into me, I froze.
It was... familiar.
Lucian's voice appeared in my mind again -
"A werewolf can only have one mate."
"It was him in the woods the other night, she-wolf."
It was him?!
Finn was... his wolf?
No way! That couldn't happen to me.
It was him in the woods!
Finn was his wolf's name and all these days he had been following me!
That was why I didn't feel sick despite being separated from my mate.
Because my mate was with me all the time!
Suddenly, I started to struggle violently, trying to move away from him by punching his chest.
"You are a liar and a cheater! You've created a story about being Uma's husband and tried to trick me! I don't want to be with you anymore! I want to see Finn! Let Finn out!"
"Shut up! Shut the fuck up!" He covered my mouth and nose with his giant hands. "If you dare to say one more word, you'll never see that fucking wolf again! I take fucking control of him. I decide who he loves and who he hates! Not the other way around!"
He was still inside of me. He didn't want to let go of me, even though I knew he was absolutely grossed out having to put up with someone like me.
I knew it for sure because I felt the same way towards him.
Emotionally, we couldn't put up with each other. But physically, we just couldn't get enough of it.
It was like the ceaseless waves of tides that fall to rise, or a myth of a game that we win to lose.
Our skins were damp because of the sweat. They stick to each other. Whenever he moved, even slightly drew himself away from me, it felt like a layer of skin was peeled off from my body.
Despite the pain, I still tried to move away from him.
This made him mad.
He took out his belt and tied my hands above my head.
Then, he pressed his body on me again and said, "There you go. Now you can't go anywhere."
I turned my head away from him.
He squeezed my chin and turned my head back.
"Look at me when I fuck you," he said.
His dick was rubbing around my vulva.
I moaned in shame.
"At least let Darren go..." I used my last consciousness to whisper.
"That warlock?" he grinned. "I'll let him go when he's able to walk."
I recognized that mischievous expression.
"What are you going to do with him?" I asked with horror.
Alpha Lucian looked at me and said, "What do you think? I can use the imprint to erase his memory and sell him back to his imbecile uncle. He'll put him out on the slave market again. Only this time, he won't be able to be sold at a good price. Nobody wants a second-handed fucktoy."
"You are out of your mind! You can't..."
His smile was filled with cruelty.
"I can do whatever I want to do. That's part of the pleasure of being an Alpha."
