Chapter Beta Harris
I was tall for twelve, thanks to my Alpha genes. At 5'8 I was only an inch shorter then Ilad and Ana but nothing compared to Snid's massive 6'5 at 18. Even so I'd five my life to protect my family and packs from the likes of Harris and the "Alpha."
After watching movies and binging Junk. I have Jara a bath and he fell asleep quickly after.
I woke up in the dark. Jara was curled up into my side. His breathing was shallow leeting me know he was deeply asleep. He slept in my room most nights now for three years. After one of the alpha's drunk assaults.
A suffocating presence brought my attention to the door. The Alpha's intimidating body took up the frame. " Get up and come to my office." He boomed not carrying for the sleeping child. I went to wake up Jara but the gruff voice stopped me. "Leave it. I'm sure you won't be back tonight." He wickedly smirked. My heart began to race. "Wh..what." i stammer out. Without replying he walked away. Leaving me to quickly follow.
Was he sending me away? Were the assults going to begin again? Did he want me out of the way to kill Jara?! I wrang my hands together before stepping into the office. As I enter I realized Harris sat in a chair across from the Alpha. "Close the door and sit fown." My "father" said lowly.
I hesitantly did as i was told and sat on the couch as far away from Harris as possible. " Beta Harris has made a request concerming your future." I stared at my father , avoiding Beta Harris' gaze. Fear squeezed my heart. " He's asked to take you as a chosen mate, upon the mext blue moon." I shoot out of my chair. I have a mate... somewhere. Besides I'd only be 13. We don't even recognize our mates until 16. This wasn't fair. My wolf lilly growled. "But he's old and I have a mate." I look at Beta Harris and show my disgust.
He growls and the "Alpha" smiles wickedly. "Be that as it may. He's experienced. I know your future and this pack's is secure with him." He brushes off my concerns wistfully. "Why is he doing this. Does he truly not care." Lilly whimpers. This is so wrong. "You'll be going home with him to start the bonding process." The Alpha states.
As I go to speak he holds his hand up. "No worries Lexi. He's not to touch you... against your will that is." Tears cloud my vision as Beta Harris grabs my arm and leads me out of the office. As the doors slowly close , i look back at the Alpha, my father. Who has begun fiddling with papers on his desk. He wasn't going to save me.
I link my inner circle and tell them where I was. Leaving out whats happening. I tell them to take care of Jara and esch other. I start to hear Jara and Ilad protest before I close the link.
The ride to the Beta's home is silent. A few times I catch him glancing at me. His eyes full of an emotion I didn't understand. It made me uncomfortable , so I turned toward the window. His home same at the border of the territory so it took almost ten minutes to arrive.
My legs shake as he unlocks the front door. As he opens it he looks at me again with thay unknown predatory stare. "Welcome home....pet." He snirks evily. Bile rises in my throat as he said "home." I walk in and stamd by the entrance. The walls mimick that of a cabin. The entrance leads to what appears to be a living room. A fire cast a loght glow onto a burgundy colored couch.
"Come, let me get you a drink." Harris huffs. I slowly gulp and follow him through the living room. We enter a very modern kitchen and i cautiously sit on a stool in front of an island. Harris opens a cupboard and removes two glasses. He then pours a bottle filled with brown liquid into the glasses and brings them both to where I am sat. I stare at the glass in front of me. It smelled like the poison the Alpha kept in his office. The sour smell burned my nose.
"It's just a drink. It won't kill you." Harris chuckles. I look at Harris before gingerly brought the glass to my lips. The liquid burned as it flowed down my throat. I began to cough, causing Harris to laugh. "Was that your first drink?" He laughs. I nod and wipe the back of my hand across my mouth. "It's nasty." I whisper. My chest is still warm, too warm and my head felt fuzzy.
Harris poured two more. This time the glasses were full. He nudged mine towards me. "It gets better with each cup. I promise." He chuckled. "Lex.... don't...dri...wolf..sp...you... can't...leeee." Lilly was trying to talk but i couldn't focus and soon he rvoice disappeared. I picked up the cup, more confident this time and drank the contents.
It still warmed my chest but burned my throat a little less. We drank a few more glasses each and moved to the living room..Harris was funny when he wanted to be or maybe it was the funny drink making me less afraid. I was laughing at something Harris said when he put his hand on my leg.
I gulp. Nobody ever touched me like thay. Not even the Alpha when he used me. Boys my age still thought girls had cooties. Lillys weak growl vibrated in my head. "I don't feel so well." I stand up and sway in place. "Hey, come on lets get you lied down." A blurry Harris says.
He led me to a big room. The large ned looks really comfy. He lays me down and takes off my shoes. He then starts to unbutton my pants. "S...stop." My voice is weak. He doesn't listen and removes them and my underwear. "Please....stop." i try to say a little louder. Tears fill my eyes but my limp limbs wont move. Something warm touches the inside of my legand then my stomach. "Don't worry pet. I'll be gentle." Harris growls iny ears before he pounds into me. It hurts and my heart begins to race before everything goes black.
