Alpha Xander

Lena's POV

I hissed loudly hating myself, hating how my life is turning, there was no way I had thought of a day when I would be stuck in a room like a slave having all these chains.

The beating was painful but I wasn't thinking of that, it was better to be beaten than being caged like an animal, I felt like an animal,

"Lena, are we slave for real?" My little wolf Elena mumbled inside me with sadness in her voice,

I shrugged and rested my head against the wall, my mind flashed through the past, when life was going fine with the love of my parent, now it was all gone, I'm no more the sweet baby, I've turned to demon hated by everyone.

I shut my eyes sighing deeply, the thought of Lilian the Luna dying broke my heart just as painful as that of my parent, the feeling of guilt made tears fall off my eyes, my appearance in her life made her lose hers, I just can't help but wonder who I am to let these people die for me.

I don't know how I'll kill Xavier, I thought he was a mere Werewolf not until Hutton said those words which showed he must be so powerful, I'm confused at why Lillian made me promise to kill him, how?

"You are turning 16 in few days, I can't wait for your first shift, I've been stuck in here for long" Elena mumbled with a sigh.

"There is no need having you out when you will have the chains and feel the pain of slavery, we are like dogs!" I rolled my eyes glaring so hard at the shackles,

"Do we have a mate?" She asked and I burst into a loud laugh, her question sounded so funny.

"Look at yourself and answer the question, do we look like one who has a mate, our mate must have died when the whole pack was destroyed!" I growled feeling sadness cover me as she also lay down sober. "What if he is still alive?" She asked with her voice showing how hopeless she is,

"Even at that, would he come into this cell to mate you?" I sneered and found myself laughing, she laughed too but the sound of my grumbling stomach took away our laughter.

"We haven't eaten anything since!" I whined,

"We just used our last strength to laugh" she grunted and howled.

"Maybe we would have to die of hunger since the Luna asked them not to kill us, their plan must have been to leave our life into the hands of hunger, f**k!" I cursed and lay flat to the ground.

"Why are these people heartless, their Luna must not be from this place!" She fumed and lay inside me.

"Stop talking and wait for death" I frowned and she laughed making me laugh too.

Just then, the door of the cell made a clanking sound showing that someone was coming in.

"I think they aren't done hitting us" I sighed feeling weak to stand up from the lying position.

"I can hear the aroma of food," Elena said and with a rush, I sprang up.

"Hey, eat your food, the Alpha calls for you!" I heard a feminine voice and didn't care to see her face as I snatched the food away from her grip.

My eyes widened at how light the plate was making me think it was empty.

I dropped it to the ground and opened it...

"Shit!" I cursed under my breath feeling the great urge to kick it off my face, the food was so little that at some point I thought she forgot where they sent her to take the food to, it can't be mine especially when I have a huge appetite. I looked up to the lady who brought it sharply and there was no single smile on her face as she kept glaring at me like I killed her boyfriend.

"who has this?" I asked and she scoffed frowning deeper.

"So, I should take it away, you aren't eating right?" She huffed bending to take the plate away.

"Are you sure this is my food because the size is...."

I couldn't finish my words before she picked the plate hissing loudly.

"I'm telling the Alpha that you said you aren't hungry!" She rolled her eyes.

"Hand it to me!" I breathed feeling like crying.

She dropped it and sneered at me as I eat.

"I don't know why you are still kept alive after killing her, just to save your pathetic life, you made our Luna sacrifice her life!" She spat while I eat, my heart heavy with pain and almost burst when the food finished in few seconds. "I regret being the one who brought your food, demon!" She cursed taking away the plate.

"Did we just eat?" Elena asked and I shrugged,

"I have forgotten we ate anything, I still feel the same hunger" I hissed and lay back to the ground.

"Get up there, the Alpha ordered your presence now!" I heard a deep growl followed by the clanking of chains.

The lock was removed from my wrists and legs before they dragged me off like the slave I had turned into.

I was damn weak from hunger but I guess they thought I had been fed, I just tasted their food!

I was led to the hallways straight into a large hall, I can't hold hear voices inside, it was like there were a lot of people there but then I could recognize the scary voice of the Alpha, I was scared and wished it had some mysterious power to disappear.

The door was opened and I was taken into the hall, my jaw dropped, my eyes widened, fear gripped me making my feet grow cold, right in front of me was three men who looked nothing different from a devil, the Alpha was in the middle while the others flanked him.

I have never seen their faces before but at first glance at them I knew I was in trouble,

They both have a lady beside them and I already knew they were their mates.

The guards who brought me in pushed me hard to the ground that my head hit hard on the tiled floor,

"That's she!" The cold voice of the Alpha resounded through the hall making me forget the pain in my head from the hit, I don't know why his voice had a way of putting extreme fear in me.

"She killed my Luna!" He howled with sadness and anger in his voice.

"Why is she still alive?" I heard another hoarse voice from the person sitting beside the Alpha.

"I promised my wife to keep her life and never banned her, I regret those words" he growled.

"Why did the Luna save her at the expense of her life when she saw how weak the girl is?" Another voice chipped in with that hate and angry tone, I couldn't look up as fear took over me,

"You told Lillian that you can kill Xavier for her right?" One of the females asked and I looked up for the first time.

"I didn't tell her that but she believed I can" I replied.

"So, can you kill him?" She asked calmly.

"I haven't met him before so I don't know if I can kill him" I answered feeling a bit relieved at how calm she was.

"Do you know why you are brought here?" She asked while I shook my head.

"My name is Kyle, the Beta's mate, those two is the Gamma and his mate, that's my mate over there, he is the Beta, we are the official who runs the affair of the whole pack, we have lost our Luna making us vulnerable, tell us who you are?" She asked with the calmness in her voice fading away.

"My name is Lena, my pack was destroyed by an unknown people, I was running away with my mother when she saved me" I answered.

"What is the name of your pack?" She asked.

"I never knew... no one has ever...." My words were cut short with a slap from her that set my cheek on fire as I let out a loud cry.

"What is the name of your pack!!!" She thundered making me cringe.

"I....I..."

"How old are you?" She asked,

"Sixteen"

"Shift into your wolf;" she ordered.

"I can't do that now..." I replied looking down to the ground.

"How can you kill Xavier?" She asked.

"I think I would be able to kill him since the Luna...."

"Shut up!!" Another feminine voice which looked scary chipped in with a slap at the same spot from the Beta's mate,

I could swear my cheek must have burned off now.

I rolled over the floor in pain while my wolf howl feeling the same pain, I grit my teeth wishing I couldn't stop crying but the pain was too excruciating.

"Since you can kill Xavier, defeat me in a fight!" The Gamma's mate who just slapped me huffed rolling up her sleeves.

My vision was blurred from tears but I could still see the muscles in her arms, she looked just like a real warrior who had fought many battles.

"If she defeats you, I will make her my daughter!" I heard the voice of the Alpha say,

My mouth went agape as I thought of being treated like the Alpha's daughter, it was the best thing that can ever happen to anyone.

"You will make me your daughter?" I asked with a sheepish smile, I just imagined sitting right beside him while he strokes my hair as Dad would always do when he was alive.

I forced myself up smiling at them all while they sneered and send those hateful looks at me,

"The first person to lay flat on the ground without standing up for twenty seconds becomes the loser!" He added and I stretched my body rolling my sleeves too. "Can you defeat..."

"Shut up!" I hushed my wolf who tried warning me, being the daughter of the Alpha is an opportunity I should never miss for anything.

I was still trying to brace myself for a fight when something so heavy and hard like steel hit my belly forcing blood out my mouth in a spurt.

I held my belly as the force pushed me back, I tried forcing myself to stand but I couldn't, my whole body was on fire from the blow to my stomach,

Another blow landed on my face making me cry out so loud as I fell heavily to the ground,

She didn't even give me the chance to bear the pains before rushing at me from the ground where I lay, she kicked my belly so hard that I couldn't breathe well,

"Please..." I cried out with tears falling profusely from my eyes as I got overwhelmed with intense pain.

What was I thinking when I braced up to fight her?

"Is this how you will fight and kill Alpha Xavier?" The Alpha gruffed with disappointment filled in his tone.

I tried standing up to show I got some strength but it was impossible, my joints were so weak from the heavy blows, she angrily dragged me up and sent two hot slaps to my cheek, her palm was just strong that I felt like my cheekbone had broken. "Can you please stop...." I shrilled as she raised her hand to hit me again.

"You aren't in the ground" she huffed and I drew myself to lay to the ground but she held me up and headbutt me in a way that I thought my skull was broken,

My mouth went wide as I cried so hard at the pain,

"Please let me down" I pleaded, struggling to reach the ground and admit defeat but she is too cruel to allow that as she held me tight,

"I'm not letting you go down, you should be strong" she smirked and slapped me with the back of her palm,

I looked around at everyone pathetically pleading with my eyes for them to save me from her but no one had a single pity in their eyes.

It seemed they loved what was happening.

"Fight me like you would do to Xavier since you made the Luna believe that lie!" She howled slapping me again before pushing me hard to the ground, I was so weak to prevent my head from hitting the ground, it landed straight to the ground sending intense pains all over me.
