Willing to protect

Roseline POV

The voice was commanding and hoarse, it made cold shivers run down my spine, I then heard scurried feet behind me, I couldn't turn back, I imagined a monster with vicious looks, I remembered how the pack members had described him.

I attempted to keep calm, by taking steady breaths, in hopes to face the reality and accept my death sentence, I hate my father for this, my feet were stuck on the ground, unable to move, and my heart was rapidly beating, and I gulped hard.

"I said... come closer, don't keep me waiting" he grunted hoarsely, but this time the alpha beast was louder and hoarse, I stalked forward, so I can get this over with, what's the use, while my dead was already at the pick.

When I reached the center of the cave, my heart bled, I found myself stalking back in fear, because of the sight in front of me, the cave was dimly lit, making things a little visible.

There were bones sprawled on the ground, and the strong stench of decayed animals refilled my nostrils, I had the urge to gag on the spot.

But what did catch my attention was the beast that was sitting on the rock, a rock that was carved like a throne. He stared at me, with his golden hue eyes, his furs were all in black, he dropped from the throne and was now all fours, I have seen wolves but not as gigantic as this raging Beast in front of me, the wolf took approaching steps towards me, he grunted In satisfaction, while deep within me, I was dying, he took a whiff of my scent before he let out a growl.

His breath fanned my skin, I was able to inhale his disgusting breath.

I attempted to run, but my feet felt so weak, I turned gently to scurry my feet towards the door, because I didn't sign up for this, then I was roughly pushed to the ground, " fuck" I curse when I felt pain on my ankle. He then roughly pulled me into a predatory grip.

I struggled the be out of his grip, then his disgusting breath fanned my skin, he bored his golden hue eyes into mine, and his claws pierced through my body, allowing me to let out a scream of agonizing pain.

"Please let go of me" I pleaded, as a tear slipped from my eye, I never expected my father to be this evil, then I felt the liquid content of the blood as it dripped down from my body.

I was in pain, " you need to calm down" the Beast urged, I wonder how he was able to talk clearly despite being in his wolf form.

suddenly, the place was silent, the birds were chirping loudly and my brows were furrowed while wondering if something was happening

I then noticed a man, he curved his thin lips to a smirk, his peach black hair was neatly trimmed and he had a pointed nose matching with his flat jaw, he wore a black cape, matching with his pointed shoes.

The alpha beast grunts, which removed me from my scrutinizing gaze.

" I can see you are enjoying another feeble and malnourished body," the man said, his smirk was evident on his face. he then closed his eyes before he grimaced his brows creased, then his eyes shot open while looking at me in horror.

"No this can't be true, you were dead bitch" he cursed, I furrowed my brows at his remark, 'what the fuck is happening here '. Then he launched at me, almost like the sight of me irritates him.

"But unfortunately we won't let you have her, we would kill her," he said so loudly, his was oozing more power than he already had.

" Leave from here" the alpha beast commanded, but rather than fear, it was a smirk that was made evident on the man's face, it was more like he already had this planned out.

" All of you can come out now," he said, before I noticed a set of other people, both genders trooping in, they stalked towards me, and the grip of the alpha became more firm, I was expecting him to kill off destroying me already, but his actions clearly illustrate he wanted to protect me, ' I'm I not supposed to be his meal?' I thought inwardly.

I tried as much to keep calm, and that's when I heard the blaring voice of the alpha beast.

"No one dares come close to her, because if anyone dares, then he had just summoned the rage in me," he said possessively, it somewhat triggered some unexpected emotions in me, but I was still confused yet fascinated.

The men trooped towards me, they were more vicious, their dark demeanor screams of evil, I perceived their scent and I came to realize that they were witches and wizards. The witches immediately launched at him, using magic to bring him down, some were using wands while some were citing unknown words, but the only thing I wanted at that moment, was to stay alive because I was feeling very scared, never in my wildest dream did I ever thought of dying this way.

I then noticed a hoard of witches were approaching me, but despite the alpha's firm grip, I was still pulled away from him, the witches had increased their tone of recitation. The alpha groaned and knelt on the ground, they managed to bring down his resolve.

"Let me go" I pleaded, because I was not strong enough, everyone knows me to be a weakling.

One of them kept on dragging me, he was on the brink of achieving his aim, because he was chatting spells that had managed to create a portal, I grimaced in pain when I noticed the alpha beast was on the ground, groaning in pain, I wonder why I don't want him to suffer.

His golden hue eyes flashed open, he stared at me and the witch that was attempting to create a portal were more vicious this time, he then roared and groaned, before he moved towards me, the witches were more vigorous, they stopped at nothing to bring down the alpha's resolve, but the alpha was looking at me and the protective instinct was there.

But he was determined, it was more like the monster that was hidden in him has arise and was taking control of him, he started moving and struggled to reach the pillar of the cave.

" No...no we have to do something because he is planning to bring this cave down," one of the witches in a panic-etched voice.

I felt overwhelmed, and I came to realize that the alpha beast was truly strong and shouldn't be messed up with, I noticed the witch who had me in his grip was concentrative on his attempts to create a portal, so I used the opportunity to be out of grip before I fled towards the raging Beast, he stared at me for a split second, my heart swells and I could barely think straight.

Another witch was about to have me in his grip, he let out a husky growl of disapproval, then the witch backed away in panic.

He growled so loudly, Then with the little strength left in him, he started hitting the cave pillars, the walls shook, and everyone was in a clear panic, I saw the need to stop him from his irrational decision.

" Please don't do this, you will die" but his attempts to bring down the walls of the cave became more vicious and he increased his speed and stamina, the pillar managed to make a crack before the Walls trooped down on the witches, most of the witches started creating portals in prospect to find an escape route but unfortunately the rocks have already started landing on them, allowing them to scream in both pain and agony.

I cried, because I don't want to die, but I know this would be my last. The alpha beast smiled at me, his golden hue eyes glowed, and rocks fell on him allowing him to groan in pain, he then brought me closer to him encircling me in his firm and warm body and protecting me from external invasions.

He uttered one word that made me shocked.

"Mate".
