Chapter Seventeen

I wanted to question him, ask him why the Alpha wanted to see me and why we were here but decided against it. I wanted to get this over as quickly as possible so Cami doesn't notice my absence. I knew she was trying her best but I was scared that she would accidently say something incriminating.

I took one final glance at Cami before I slowly started walking towards the man who was waiting impatiently for me. Once I was out of the room the man closed the door silently behind him however he didn't lock it. Maybe he was a careless and left things unlocked all the time? Once I returned back to the room he might leave the door unlocked again and that would be our chance to escape.

I followed the man in silence as he walked ahead of me. After a few minutes of walking in the dark corridor we finally reached a metal door with two men were standing next to. Both the men straightened up once they saw us and nodded at the Werewolf leading the way. The Werewolf must be of a high ranking which elevated my anxiety. Was this man part of the Alpha's family?

The men let us through silently and I kept my head down, trying my best to keep calm. I could hear movement and voices, the house seemed lively as if so many people lived here. Maybe this was the pack house?

I didn't bother to familiarise myself with my surroundings, if we did escape it would have to be the way we came in as there was no way we could ever leave through this way with so many people around.

After walking up the stairs a few times, we were on the upper level of the house. The house was beautifully decorated but this level was even more stunning. The white walls had exquisite crown moulding at the top, panels in the middle and there were painting in all the corridors. Everything about it seemed royal and expensive, even the carpet looked more expensive than my car.

I was too mesmerized by everything around me that I didn't notice the man had stopped walking causing me to bump into him slightly. I immediately apologised and took a step back to maintain a healthy distance between us.

The man ignored me and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Alpha Alessandro voice did something to my body and I closed my eyes.

I'm losing my mind, there is something wrong with me.

The man opened the door and gestured for me to go in. With waited breath I walked into the room and my eyes roamed around the enormous room taking in the pictures on the wall, the lit fireplace, the multiple bookcases, black sofa and a huge oak desk that was situated in front of a big window.

Behind the desk was Alpha Alessandro and for a second I stopped breathing. He walked towards me and everything about his screamed power and dominance. My breathing got faster as he got closer and instead of stopping he walked past me without a glance.

"Keep an eye on the human girl." He spat the word 'human' out as if it disgusted him to say it.

I continued to look ahead as I heard the man exit the room, leaving me and the Alpha alone.

I could feel him behind me and no matter how tempted I was, I didn't look back even though my body was urging me to do so.

He slowly walked past me again to return to his desk, this time I couldn't keep my eyes off him. He was painfully handsome and so big. I've never been attracted to overly muscular men yet I found myself eyeing his broad shoulders, bulging biceps and large hands.

He finally turned and met my eyes and I looked down immediately. It was silent for a couple of minutes as I kept my head down, I could feel his burning gaze on me.

He started to walk towards me, his steps slow and heavy. My heart was racing and I wondered if he could hear it.

Thoughts were running though my head about what would happen next. Would he threaten me? Hurt me? Torture me? Kill me?

What I didn't expect him to do was take in a deep breath, then another and another.

What the hell is he doing?

Before I could vocalise my thoughts he grabbed the back of my neck like earlier and pulled me towards him and put his face in my neck. His hot breath on my skin made me shudder and I swear I felt him smile against my skin when I did that.

What is he doing to me? Why am I feeling like this?

He pulled away and looked down at me, well more like towered over me before leaning in again. "Where is my cousin?"

The words pulled me out of the weird haze I was in. "I-I don't know what you're talking about."

"Harlan Aristov was last seen leaving Costa Coffee a minute after your sister left."

I swallowed harshly. "Okay, what has that got to do with us?"

"Your sister's colleagues are very talkative. Apparently he was interested in your sister."

"She's 17." I gritted out as anger started to build inside of me. I thought about what he did to Cami and how fragile and traumatised she is because of that pig.

The Alpha didn't respond instead he continued to stare at me as if he was trying to figure something out.

"Why are we here?" I asked, this time my voice was a lot softer.

"Where is my cousin?" He repeated.

"I don't know who your cousin is and I don't know where he is." I lied.

"You're lying." He snarled. "Maybe I'll pay your sister a visit, maybe she knows where he is."

Shit!

"Don't you dare go near my sister! Leave her alone!" I yelled as panic and fear began to rise inside of me.

Cami would break easily, she would say what happened and the Alpha would kill her.

"Lower your eyes, human." His tone was cold.

I should have listened to him and lowered my eyes but I didn't, I kept looking at him.

"We haven't done anything, let us go."

"Look away. Now."

"Why are w-" I stopped mid-sentence when then Alpha grabbed a fistful on my hair and pulled me to close to him.

I let out a gasp at the pain that erupted from my scalp, it felt as thought he was ripping all my hair off.

"Listen very carefully, when I tell you to do something, you do it. You don't look at me, you don't talk unless I ask you to. Do you understand?"

"If you touch my sister, I will kill you."

I regretted saying those words as soon as those words left my mouth. I should have agreed with him and I never should have threatened him. I don't know why I was behaving like this when I knew he could kill me in an instant. Before today, I would have never ever spoken to high rank Werewolf like that, never mind an Alpha.

The response was instantaneous, he removed his hand from my hair and instead was wrapped around my throat lifting me up from the ground easily. My fingers dug into his hand as I tried to pry his hand off me but he didn't stop and lifted me even higher.

I couldn't breathe, I was gasping for air as I clawed at his hand begging for some relief. It was hard to keep my eyes open and I could feel myself drifting.

He was going to kill me.
