Chained By The Alpha Jessica Hall

Chapter 47

He waves someone over. Annoyance flares within me, but it's quickly overshadowed by the realization that I'm stuck without many options

"Fine," I huff, rolling my eyes, even though a part of me appreciates his protectiveness

"Stay here," he instructs, leaving me under the watchful eye of his massive security man. I recognized him immediately as Vance, Zayn's brother. "Watch her, don't let her out of your sight while I help Shana," Zayn tells him

I watch Vance step closer, the man is just as big as his brother, standing beside me with arms crossed tightly over his broad chest. His dark expression and muscular build make him appear

even more imposing and intimidating

"I don't need a babysitter," I huff. Vance chuckles, looking down at me

"He's just looking out for you after the other night," Vance tells me, and I roll my eyes

"Hey," he leans in, lowering his voice, "Between you and me, I know how much of a pain in the ass Zayn can be. But trust me when I say he's got your best interests at heart."

I chuckle. "He's certainly bossy," I laugh when I see Alpha Dane, approaching. He doesn't look happy, and I sit up straighter when he stops next to me

"Boyd told me you're involved with Alpha Zayn

For now, I will turn a blind eye, but you will end it before the wedding." he trails off, about to

turn away when he stops again

"Oh and Cleo, after this little stunt, and knowing Zayn's your boyfriend, you'll be forced to ensure your virtue has remained intact. I'll have one of my pack doctors get in contact with you to arrange a sample of your slick to be taken. Your father knows how strict I am on that tule," he smiles coyly

"And well Lydia's virtue is long gone, but he assured me you're a virgin, that better still be true, or we'll have issues, your father owes me a considerable amount already," Alpha Dane warns

I glare at the man, and Alpha Dane leans closer

"Do the right thing Cleo, it's not worth your pack. I get you don't like the idea, but you'll learn to love my son, but this little thing you have going on with Alpha Zayn needs to come

to an end." Alpha Dane states before turning abruptly and wandering off. I watch him leave, and I move to get up, wanting some fresh air, when Vance grabs my arm, pushing me back down on the stool. I look up at him, and he gives me an apologetic smile

"Sorry but Alpha orders, you need to remain," he tells me and tears threaten to burn my eyes when Vance speaks again. "He can't force you," Vance says

"Yeah, well by the looks of it he can, my father owes him money," I growl and then sigh, reaching for my leftover drink. But before I can take another sip, Vance takes it from me too

"Seriously?" I gape at him and he glances around nervously

I glare at him and he rolls his eyes. "You've had

enough," he tells me but gives it back. "But I would need a drink after listening to that asshole too," he chuckles, sending me a wink

I tip the glass to my lips and drink the rest of the glass when Zayn comes out, stopping beside me

"I told you not to let her drink," Zayn growls at his brother. Vance leans in whispering something to Zayn, who's entire demeanor changes, his eyes flash as he looks down at me, but he says nothing

"Come on, I'll take you home," Zayn says, grabbing my hand and leading me out of the club. Alpha Zayn seems angry about something but leads me to his car. He opens the passenger door and I slide into the passenger seat when an idea hits

me

Zayn climbs in and starts the car. "I don't want

to go home, I don't want to deal with my father,"

I tell him. "Where do you want me to take you then?" Zayn asks, pulling out of the parking spot

"Friends place?" he asks, and I bite my lip

"Can we go to your place?" I ask. Zayn stares at me for a second

"Cleo, I don't think that is a good idea, I'm assuming you are already in enough trouble with your father, and I don't think I made it any better. What about your dorm?" he asks her

"Can't get in for a few more days when school opens back up." He sighs. "It's fine, just drop me at a motel or something." I tell him, but Zayn scoffs

"I'm not leaving you at a motel." he growls at me. I huff, crossing my arms over my chest. "I'm

not a child, Zayn." He smirks, refusing to meet my gaze

"Tam not going home, so either drop me to a motel or I'll sleep in my car." I retort and Zayn growls

"Fine, you can stay at my place, but don't come crying to me when you get in more trouble."

I hesitate, considering my options. Going home was never an option tonight, but I would rather not impose on Zayn either. The last thing he needed was more drama he didn't ask for. Yet, Zayn hasn't tried to hurt me, and he did save me from Boyd inside the club. I nod and he starts the car

As we drive in silence, I watch the city lights blur by the window. My thoughts are a

whirlwind of emotions: anger, fear, confusion. I yawn and Zayn chuckles. "Stay awake for me Cleo," he says, and I nod, pressing my head against the cool glass window

When we pull up out the front, he helps me out of the car and leads me up to his door. I take a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. I don't know what I'm getting myself into, but I can't go back home tonight
