SHE BELONGS TO ME

"How dare you!" my father demanded. "Say such a disgraceful thing about my daughter!"

There was an uproar amongst the crowd again. And now everyone was speaking at once. 

What he just said insinuated that he had seen me naked. 

Worse, he had slept with me. 

I,an Alpha's daughter, was rejected by an Alpha and slept with another. 

It's the scandal of the century!

My cheeks were burning hot, I tried to fan myself to cool down. 

"You asked," Alaric said, folding his arms while looking at my father. "And I told the truth. Her mark is in between her thighs. Isn't it dear?"

I looked at him sharply and I was filled with such embarrassment I wanted to dig the ground and enter never to emerge again. 

My face went red and I was all of a sudden dumb. 

No words came out of my lips. 

"How did you even meet my daughter?"

My father demanded to know bitterly. 

"Three years ago, she stumbled into my territory and I claimed her. The moment I caught her scent I knew she was my mate. She has been mine ever since."

"That is impossible." Uncle Richard, my father's gamma snapped. "The Night water pack has been in isolation for the last three hundred years! It's near impossible to find! How could she have ended up there on her own?""Exactly," Alaric said. "We don't get many visitors. So you can understand my surprise when I found her in my territory."

"So you were the one with her for three years? You… you monster! You kidnapped my daughter?!" My father growled.

"An examination will be held by the sheriff wolves of this pack to confirm if what he says is true." The leader of the wolf council said. 

"There is no way in hell you are buying this shit." My father argued. 

The wolf council leader raised his hands. "This matter can easily be resolved and it is in the jurisdiction of the wolf council to resolve this case." He replied, and then he nodded at my aunt. 

Before I knew it, I was led away to a room so that we could have more privacy. 

The women, including my aunt,  removed my clothes and opened my legs to search for it. 

The sound of their gasps confirmed my worst fears. They found it. Alpha Alaric wasn't lying. 

"We have confirmed it to be true." My aunt declared once we returned to the grounds.

I was too stunned to say anything. How… How did this all happen?

Ryan screamed in rage, "She belongs to me!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sybil is mine! She's my mate!!" Ryan yelled like a spoiled brat. "I don't give a flying fuck if she is mated or whatever! She is mine!"

"Calm down, we will handle this." Alpha Erwin said. 

"NO!" Ryan said. "The bastard needs to leave ! So what if I rejected her first? She was my mate first and I will have her! She belongs to me!"

He pounced on me in his fit of rage, grabbing me roughly by the arm. 

He squeezed it so hard I was writhing in pain trying to break free. 

"Let go of me! What are you doing?!" I cried out helplessly. 

I was no match against the strength of an Alpha. 

"So you already fucked someone else huh?" He demanded. "You have yourself another wolf when I am your mate?! When you belong to me!"

Then, he slapped me with the back of his hand. I crumbled to the ground as my lips bled.

He shoved him so hard that he hit a tree and dropped unconscious.

And then Alaric hurried to me and cupped my cheek making me look into his eyes.

"Are you alright?" He asked. "Did he hurt you?"

I didn't know what to say but he saw the blood on my lips. He gently caressed his thumb over my lips, wiping away the blood. 

But instead of wiping his thumb away, he set his thumb on his tongue and licked the blood. 

I was supposed to be revolted by this. I should be disgusted by this. 

But to my absolute horror, I found that I found it enticing and my face felt hot..

"There." He said. "better?"

Before I could respond he turned and backed me, facing my entire pack and everyone else. 

"I invoke my right as Alpha and as her mate." He said. "I invoke my right as the original Alpha of all the founding packs before the plague as my ancestors had done."

"My mate isn't safe here. I will bring her back to my pack, her home. Where she truly belongs," He declared. 

There was no way in hell that they were going to let me go with him. 

Impossible! But to my shock, I saw the Alpha's howl in agreement. One after the other. 

And then lastly my father. 

"What does this mean?" I asked my aunt. 

"It means that they have agreed to let you go to your new home with your mate." She said,

I turned white. 

And I realized that he was still holding my hand firmly in his. 

I looked up at him and we made contact. It was like burning fire. 

I jerked my hand free. "There is no way in hell I am going anywhere with you!" 

He frowned and crossed his armstogether. 

"Yes you are." He said. 

Hah! Who did he think he was?

"Make me,"
