Filed To Story: Claimed by the Alpha I Hate Book Read Free
“No, Alpha.” One of the guards shook his head, his eyes narrowing in hatred as he looked on at Scott. I recognized one of the guards from my own pack, the other was once a part of Scott’s pack. The hatred in his eyes was staggering, especially as he looked down at his old Alpha. I remembered the young werewolf’s name. Isaac had once been close friends with the old Alpha, making me reluctant to accept his offer as a guard. It was his hatred for his old Alpha that made me accept, and Isaac had not been one to disappoint.
Every half an hour, Isaac would enter Scott’s cell and beat the truth from him. Scott had yet to speak of anything other than Daisy, but my will remained unbroken. It had been a total of two days, longer than I thought Scott would last. Bringing Daisy down here was a last resort, something I tried not to think on.
I opened Scott’s cell and stepped inside. The smell of sh*t and p**s was overwhelming, turning my stomach. Scott had seen better days. The cocky tilt of his chin was absent as he sat slumped over in his cell. His light-colored hair was brown with dirt, his clothes crumpled and stained. His light eyes remained bright and unbroken, something that would soon change.
“It appears your men have forgotten my breakfast.” Scott’s voice was raspy from lack of water, his head turning up in my direction. His eyes were bright as his lips turned up in a cocky smile.
My wolf wanted to tear through, to destroy the man that laid claim on what was ours. Scott’s hold on
Daisy was non-existent, a power he wished to reclaim. Scott was one of those men who couldn’t stand to be ignored, to be replaced by something better. Reclaiming Daisy was poor attempt to claim his old life, one where he hadn’t lost everything.
It was never my intention to a****k Scott’s pack. I hadn’t noticed the little pack until Scott climbed for my attention. I could ignore his side-eyed looks of jealousy and superiority, but I couldn’t tolerate out right disrespect. Scott had disrespected my position in front of my pack. Naturally, an act like this wouldn’t be grounds for war. The two Alpha’s would fight one-on-one, the victor absorbing the loser’s pack. Scott had run back to his pack before we had the chance, prompting my own action in return. I could never allow another Alpha to disrespect me and run. A coward had no right running a pack.
Instead of acknowledging what he said, I kept my face an impassive mask. I gripped Scott’s tattered shirt in my fist, lifting him to his feet. His head rested against the earthen wall; his lip split from his time with Isaac.
Feeling my wolf’s strength surge through me, I tossed Scott’s body against the wall. His flesh hit the earth with a sickening smack, but the light in his blue eyes remained.
‘Not for long.’ My wolf murmured, looking down at the would-be Alpha. ‘Everyone breaks.’
As much as I wanted to, I hadn’t the time to stay and truly torture Scott. I informed Isaac and the other guard to feet him scraps a few times a day. Enough to keep him alive, but not enough to gain strength.
Alpha Bran had been waiting outside the Training building for me, insisting he needed my men’s aid in setting up for the fight. I had detested Alpha Bran’s father, and now I detested his son. The two of them were insufferable pricks, thinking themselves the King’s of the world.
While the prospect of Daisy fighting Alpha Bran pissed me off, it would be satisfying when she won.
‘Alpha Bran will never live it down.’ My wolf murmured in appreciation.
Alpha Bran continued to push his boundaries. Extensive comments about Daisy and his night with her left his mouth. He was goading me on, I knew that much. Alpha Bran’s pride often clouded his judgement. He ran the second largest pack in the world, one I could easily absorb if need be.
I had been quite the dictator a few years ago, my goal was absorbing as many packs as possible. I had long ago left that goal behind, content with the size of my pack. We had the numbers and the warriors, there was just one thing missing. It was something I had spent many years ignoring, something I wasn’t sure I wanted.
I had the pack, the men, but I didn’t have a mate. I needed a Luna.
Alpha Bran’s men worked with my own, turning the open space beside the pack-house into a fighting ground. The open space lingered beside the Training building and was once where training was held.
When the recruits began their training as wolves, we would move outside.
The space was flat and barren, but Alpha Bran requested more. After a couple hours, the earthen floor was covered. In the center of the field sat a large dirt lot, circular in shape. This was where Alpha Bran and Daisy would be fighting. Large lights were strewn about, staked into the ground. The sun was just beginning to set, marking only an hour before their fight.
I paced inside the packhouse as the minutes ticked by. Ten minutes before the fight, I was nearly ready to explode. Her two friends had come twenty minutes earlier, standing by as they waited for their friend.
The girl Breyona continued throwing me anxious glances. Her eyes were glued to the clock on the wall, counting down the seconds until the fight. Even the guy Mason, looked concerned. The constant need to suppress my jealousy around Mason was infuriating, but I knew Daisy needed them here.
“She’ll be here, Alpha.” Beta Devin grunted, giving me a wary look. “Do you really think Daisy would run?”
“No, I don’t.” I shook my head, agreeing with Beta Devin’s reasoning. “She’s incapable of arriving anywhere on time.”
“She’ll be here.” Breyona muttered, her eyes meeting my own. “She went to her Dad’s house, their probably just running late. You know how she is.”
As if on cue, the front door opened, and Daisy walked in. Her face was red from exertion, but she was otherwise unharmed. My hammering heart stilled at the sight of her, her black hair done in a tight braid down her back. The black leggings and sports bra clung to her full frame.
“Did you run here?” I grimaced, taking in the sight of her.
“What? No, I didn’t run here.” Daisy’s face contorted in confusion, her bottom lip jutting out. “We were just running late.”
“You’re about to fight an Alpha and you couldn’t keep track of the time?” My voice came out harsher than I meant, my eyebrow lifting as I stared at the defiant expression on Daisy’s face.
“Baby steps, Alpha.” Daisy snapped, her hands finding their way to her hips. “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
I peeled my eyes away from her hips and glared. This little ball of fire was distracting me more than I thought. I was noticing all her habits and began enjoying each one. Her lip would jut out in a pout whenever she was being scolded, her hands would find her hips when she became defensive. I was beginning to enjoy the flash of fire in her eyes when she called me ‘Alpha’.
I sent Breyona, Mason, and Beta Devin outside. I needed a minute alone with Daisy before my head nearly imploded. The urge to touch her skin was a constant itch in my head.
“Ready to watch me beat up an Alpha?” Daisy’s lips turned up in a smirk that sent my heart hammering.
“You’re awful cocky.” My eyes blazed down at her, irritation and lu*t filling my body. Her eyes were wide and innocent, catching on to the anger that rolled from my body. Regardless of tonight’s outcome, Daisy would be punished for her behavior.
“Maybe I just have a really good Alpha training me.” Daisy shrugged, her own lu*t filling her eyes. As much as she tried to resist me, her eyes always gave it away.
“Careful, Daisy.” I smirked down at her, my thumb rubbing against her plush bottom lip. “Keep complimenting me, and I might just think you like me.”
Daisy had the reaction I anticipated. A scoff came from her perfect lips, her eyes narrowing incredulously.
“Keep dreaming.” Daisy smirked, turning on her heel and exiting through the front door. Her hips swayed, her bottom prominent through her leggings. I ignored the tightening in my pants, pushing thoughts of Daisy’s round bottom from my mind.
I had caught up to Daisy effortlessly. Daisy was fast for a werewolf, but it was clear she was in no hurry.
Some part of her was nervous for this fight.
Alpha Bran stood in the middle of the dirt circle; his face bright with cheer as he talked to some of the guests. I could see Alpha Zeke nearby, an irritated look on his face as Alpha Bran clapped him on the back.
Alpha Bran was the first to notice Daisy’s arrival, something I had already anticipated. Daisy’s Dad stood off to the side, looking irritated yet proud. Her Grandma stood nearby, her face calm and serene despite what tonight would hold.
“Daisy sweetheart, you’re here.” Alpha Bran smirked, running a hand through his hair. His pitiful excuse at flirting only irritated me and my wolf.
Daisy’s look of disgust cooled some of my anger.
“Obviously, this is my pack.” Daisy rolled her eyes, clearly tired of his antics.
“I’m afraid I can’t go easy on you sweetheart.” Alpha Bran smirked, pulling his shirt from his head.
Many of the guests stood by awkwardly, anticipation and nerves filling the lot of them. It wasn’t often one of their own would fight against an Alpha.
The rules were as such, they could fight in wolf or human form but had to keep within the circle. The first one unconscious or d**d would win the fight.
An uneasy feeling filled me. It was clear Daisy received training in her year away from the pack, but had she trained in her wolf form?
The two of them stood at opposite ends of the circle, their eyes locked on one another.
I made my way to the front, taking my place beside Alpha Zeke and Beta Devin. It was responsibility to begin the fight. I let any emotion drain from my face, giving Daisy a long look before beginning the match.
