Trapped By My Forbidden Alpha

I woke up, groaning at the cloudy feeling under me. As I blinked open my eyes and sat up, I realised I was laying on a bed
instead of the hard, cold floor that I had gotten used to over the years.
This mere, small memorable feeling brought back the memories that had gotten deep-buried over the years. The time when I
had been carefree and worried about nothing but being close to my parents and fantasising about my future mate. Living the life
of a princess in my parent’s eyes and having fun with my friends and then... like my life flipped drastically and everything fell
down into a burning volcano.
I turned my head, my eyes immediately falling on the body that lay on the ground, lifeless. Alpha Wyatt, what a joke of an alpha
he lived his life as. A tyrant, a bully, and a monster to the life I had to endure in these five years, now died miserably in his own
room.
Everything ended. I am no princess now. My mate is nowhere to be found. And my life... it’s about to turn upside down once
again.
The faint sound of the door getting opened snatched my attention.
“Awake already?” Liam walked in with a small smile.
After making me rest on the bed last night, he had left the room to make other arrangements.
I nodded my head as he got closer and sat down on his knees on the ground in front of me. His hands grasped mine, his gaze
earnestly staring up at me, “Everything is under my control now, Mia.”
“Do you feel alright?” I asked gently.
“The effect of the paralyzer already wore off hours ago. I don’t feel anything wrong,” he muttered as his fingers tightened around
mine. He paused for a moment, and then whispered, “Mia, will you be mine now?”
My body stiffened at his words, “Liam, we aren’t mates.”
Liam looked down at his chest to hide his face. Then he lifted up his head slowly, looking at me with a cold stare. “You and I have
been together since childhood. You and I are the ones who are meant to end up together, no matter what happens in the end.
Even if your mate appeared, I will kill him.”
My heart stopped for a few moments. I could not even breathe.

I want to be as sure as him. I want to stop this voice inside me telling me this is wrong. I can easily deceive him, telling him I feel
the same way as he does. He would be over the moon hearing that. I can lie to the only person who truly cares for me.
But in the end, My gaze gingerly fell upon him, and muttered “Even if I don’t feel the same?”
“Even so,” He answered. “It’ll grow on you eventually,” he forced a smile.
“I’ll think about it.” I shoved down every little voice telling me not to agree while pulling my hands out of his grasp, “I promise that
I’ll give you the answer tomorrow.”
Knowing I don’t have much of a choice, his face immediately lit up. Standing up from the ground he looked at me, “Change your
clothes. Alpha Alessio is our ally now. I had talked to him about a peace treaty and he had agreed to it. We need to welcome him
when he gets here. I will send someone in to help you.”

I nervously stared at the old woman, Diana, the omega who had given me an orange as a birthday present yesterday. Liam had
sent her in to help me dress up. Now dressed in a brand new, white dress, probably the very first new dress I had worn in the
past few years/
“You look beautiful,” she said with a small smile.
I smiled back, nodding gratefully. This time I didn’t feel scared. I felt powerful, the deep satisfaction in knowing that right now no
one has the ability to hurt me.
“Can you please bring Olivia in?” I asked the guard who had been assigned to stand near the door by Liam for me.
He nodded his head, bowed a little, and went away. Diana followed after him. Now that I was alone in the office room, I went
ahead to sit at the head chair in the office room. A few moments later there was a knock at the door.
“Come in,” I said loudly.
The door opened, and Olivia walked in. Guard closed the door again to stand outside.
It was kind of comical to see the way she was staring at the corpse on the ground and then at me. There was a flash of anger in
her eyes when she looked at me, but she doesn’t have the spine to let it show.
“So you will be ruling the pack now?” she asked in a nonchalant voice.

“What do you think?” I asked, standing up from the chair to round the table.
Within a blink of an eye, she was suddenly on the ground, hugging my legs and crying. “Oh Thank Moon Goddess”, she sobs
tactfully, “Alpha Wyatt forced me to bully you. You must know that, Mia. I never want to hurt you.”
“We used to be besties! If it hadn’t been for Alpha Wyatt, we would have continued to be together happily,” she was getting
desperate.
SMACK!
“Is that true? Did Alpha Wyatt force you to drown my dog? Do you still remember that day? When you drowned Snowball in the
freezing river and laughed like a maniac”. I slapped her right across her face, scoffing, “had you ever thought that I would rise
again when you sold me out, ‘bestie’?
Olivia’s face had turned red, but she did not have the courage this time to fight me. She stood there with a swollen cheek and
shivering hands, perhaps itching to do the same to me but knowing she had now lost all power.
The revenge should make me feel good. But instead, I felt extremely empty. What’s the use of it when I can’t go back to my old
life anymore. The guard went inside the room to bring Olivia outside. When I came out of the packhouse, all the eyes followed
me. The pack members had gathered outside, the look in their gazes when they followed each of my steps was of fear and
surprise.
All these years the only thing that I had gotten from them was loathing and disgust and bullying, now that I could see the way
how that had drastically changed as soon as I became someone they couldn’t dare mess with, now that I had the power and
came back with a vengeance, it was all so clear to me. Now that I was someone they couldn’t even bully, now that I was
someone they were forced to acknowledge and respect, they were all too terrified to even think of opposing me. I was now a
completely different person than the one they had tormented for years and years and years.
As I walked past them, each and every one of them fell silent. It was a strange feeling, one I had not felt in a very long time, even
when I was the most feared and powerful wolf in the pack. It was a feeling of not being alone, of being needed.
Liam extended his hand towards me as I got closer, helping me come stand right next to him.
“Meet the new Luna of our pack.” he announced proudly and wrapped his arm around my waist, “I and Mia will be the ruler of this
pack from now on.”
Apparently, my answer is not needed. I smile and wave to the people, shaking off the slightly unpleasant feeling.

There were no surprised gasps, only deafening silence. There were whispers and low voices but none of them were loud enough
to raise any objection.
“I can see them now!” a guard standing a few feet away from us shouted loudly.
Surprised, my eyes turned to the direction he was pointing, wondering what he meant. Within a few moments, several little dots
started to appear in the distance. Moving dots. As they got closer, the dots became bigger and clearer.
Something felt off.
There were too many cars and trucks coming our way from a distance. Hundreds of them. I panicked and glanced at Liam whose
face had gone pale.
As the breeze became powerful, a strange, attractive scent of lavender slipped past my nose, almost intoxicating. I forgot to
breathe for a few seconds, taking in my favorite kind of scent. My stupor broke when the sounds of vehicles increased and I
realized... something was about to happen and it was not right. Panic struck me instantly, anxiety and nervousness. What the
hell was going on?!
The long line of cars and trucks came to a stop a few feet away from us. A grand, black limousine stood in the center, the door
opened, and a man stepped out.
Even from a distance, I could feel his powerful aura. I had never come across someone like him who did not even need to utter a
word to show his strength. I could feel his presence like a physical force.
And I did not know why, but an intoxicating, deep attraction was spreading inside me- something that I had never experienced
before. I immediately shook it off. What the hell was wrong with me?!
But then, with each step he took towards us, I felt Liam’s body getting tensed. And it was not just nervousness, I could feel that
something was wrong.
“Liam?” I called out to him, worried.

“I had requested for his support, Mia.” he murmured in a soft voice, “I did not want to encounter attacks on us as soon as we took
over the rule. That is why I made a treaty with him. He will give us protection and in exchange, we will give him our unconditional
support in all his future decisions.”
Alpha Alessio was called one of the wonders of our world. Within three years of his taking over the rule, he had won over
hundreds of packs. No one, ever in werewolf history had ever been able to achieve this even in their whole lives.
I had never met him. I had only heard about him from the rumors. I did not even know who he was but Liam had talked about him
in the past, telling me that he was a clever man, dangerous, but not entirely unreasonable.
“I hadn’t thought he would be bringing so many warriors for a peace treaty,” Liam murmured to me, tensed from head to toe.
As Alpha Alessio got closer to us, I saw his face for the first time. He had a strong jawline and a straight nose, a little crooked, as
if he had been broken once or twice. The side of his neck showed a thin scar running from the corner of his ear and down to the
side of his neck and disappearing into the black t-shirt that he wore. His large frame was at least three inches bigger than Liam,
standing at six feet, some inches tall and the color of his skin was fairer than any other man I had ever seen. His unruly dark hair
fell on his forehead and down to his neck. His thin lips were curved into a slight smile, and his eyes were sparkling with
amusement.
“You aren’t going to greet me?” he asked Liam with a smirk.
My eyes snapped up from Alpha Alessio’s feet and slowly dragged up until I met his eyes. The moment I met his dark eyes, my
whole body went stock still and a rush of emotions ran through me like I had swallowed a bucket of cold water and there was
electricity running through every vein in my body. My heart thumped harder than ever and suddenly, my usually silent wolf raised
became active,
‘MATE.’ my wolf whispered.
