The Alpha Who Saved Me

Emery

Chapter 43

"What did you do...where are we?" Kiki demands, stunning

the witch once again.

"Since when do wolves talk?"

"I

"Since two of my mates are Dire wolves, dumbass!" my wolf states in a huff, "Now tell me, where are we and why did you take us? More importantly, why am I still in wolf form if I have a silver collar around me?"

The witch chuckles and tries petting Kiki but she nips at him. All of a sudden, electricity shoots through us; a fucking shock collar! Kiki growls at the male standing beside us, grin- ning as he holds a small remote in his hand. He goes to pet us again, and once more, Kiki goes for him, this time scratching him with her canines. The current that runs through us drops. us to the floor.

"You will do well to allow me what I want because the cur- rents will only get worse." He snickers.

"You think we are scared of a little electricity?" Kiki ques- tions.

"Maybe not, but every time I shock you, all three of your mates feel it as well, only it's worse for them."

"You're bluffing! There is no way you could have spelled something like that without the blood of me or one of my mates."

His brow lifts and the grin he gives us sends a chill down my spine, "You forget that I carved your handsome little mate, Asher, is it? Yes, it's his blood that I used."

Something dawns on me, "It was you! You're the one that was sending the overwhelming feeling for me not to shift!"

Again, with a chuckle, "That was the easiest part! With you all being so paranoid and knowing that things like that hap- pen, I knew you would listen to your "intuition"," he uses finger quotes, "I needed you to wait to shift because my spell only worked while you were in mid-shift, when all of your wards were momentarily shut down."

I curse myself because this is one of the many things that I learned in my first week of schooling. Miss Beatrice is going to be very disappointed in me. Sighing heavily, I look back at my uncle, "What is it that you want with me?"

He doesn't answer right away as he runs his hand from the top of Kiki's head, all the way down her back, "Simply beautiful. I really don't know why my people want to get rid of you all. We can use you as slaves. I can certainly see why my father kept his whore mate hidden from the rest of the Shikari. I always despised your kind growing up, it's what I was taught, but then when I learned of my father's betrayal after his death and then watched you grow into a beautiful woman, I knew I could never despise you. No, I want you for my own, and the two of us can rule both my people and your people."

My gut turns with disgust, "But, you're my uncle! We can't be together for that fact alone, never mind the fact that I al- ready have three fated mates."

"You think I care about bloodlines? All I care about is the

power that we will have together." He sticks his face in Kiki's coat and inhales deeply, "Your mates will forget about you over time and then move on. Maybe I should have kept that she-whore instead of throwing her to the rogues, I could have used some sort of love spell to make your mates turn to her."

I chuckle at this, "You obviously don't know the kind of connection that me and my mates have."

He snickers and then rings a bell, summoning a couple of his men. I take the time to look around and I notice that I'm in the room that Holden and I saw him in when he was looking into a fountain because there it sits, in the middle of the big room. We seem to be underground with the cement walls all around us and our voices echo because it's cavernous.

"I want you to escort me while I show Emery to her new lodgings for the time being." The witch tells his men.

I'm suddenly yanked forward as he pulls on the chain that is attached to the collar. I have to dip my head as we walk through the doorway but otherwise, Kiki fits through all the openings that he leads us through. We stop in front of a big iron door with a small window that you can open and shut from the outside. The guards open it, and the witch pulls me through. The room is huge with one side being decorated like a bedroom with a bed and dresser and what looks to be a bathroom through one door. Then there is the side that we are on, dismal and gray, like a dungeon would look like.

He walks me over to another chain and fixes it to my col- lar, "This collar does many things, Emery. Not only will it pun- ish you with the electricity, but I can also control your shifts and keep your magic at bay." He turns to his men, "Leave us."

I look at the guards as they leave the room and now, I be- gin to get worried. Turning back to my uncle just as he press- es another button, I feel myself shifting back to my human. form. I begin to freak out because at least Kiki was keeping me from showing my nakedness, but as soon as I'm back to human, I won't have a stitch of clothing on and his words from earlier run through my head; he wants us to be together.

The moment I'm back to myself, I slink back and squat, trying to cover myself as much as possible. Even back at my pack, I've always been more on the shy side when shifting. even though it's our way of life, but this doesn't feel right. This isn't about my way of life; it's about the power he has over me and what he wants with me.

"Please, can I have something to wear?"

He comes over and squats in front of me, brushing my hair away from my face, "Look at you all shy. You're a wolf, Emery, so why are you being shy now?" "Please, I need clothes."

Apparently, it's the wrong thing to say because he takes hold of my hair and pulls my head back hard, "You will not get clothes to wear. I like seeing you like this, and so this is how you will stay, so you better get used to it. You think I'm kid- ding about us being together, but I'm not. Now, stand up and let me see what now belongs to me."

I whimper, but I don't move, not until I feel the electrical current run through me. He shocks me twice before I give up and stand up for him on now shaky legs. Tears run down my face as he pokes and prods at me in places that only my mates have known. I want to die and it's exactly what will hap-

pen if he tries to force himself on me because I would rather kill myself than let this witch, my own flesh and blood touch me!

"Hm, lucky for you, I can't do anything tonight. I have things to take care of..." he stops what he's saying and then lifts my amulet that is still around my neck, "What is this?"

I snatch it back, not wanting him to feel the magic that it holds even though my father said that it's undetectable. I play it safe, "My mother gave it to me for my birthday; it's been passed down through the Stone women in her family."

"Fine, keep it, I've done my research and there is nothing special about the Stone family." He sounds bored when he states this, and I'm elated that he doesn't see through my lie.

"Thank you."

He smirks, "I like how it looks when it lays between your breasts." He cups them as he says it and I have to close my eyes and try to keep the bile down. "You need to get over your shyness and get out of that head of yours about us being re- lated," he leans in close to my ear, "because this is going to happen, and I'm going to fuck you so good that those pups will seem like amateurs by the time that I'm done with you."

All I can do is pray to the Moon Goddess that I can get out of here before he makes good on his promise. There has to be something that I can do. The full moon is tomorrow night and with my amulet, there has got to be a way out of this situa- tion, but what, I haven't the slightest idea.

Warning: There may be a few triggers for some during

Emery's time in captivity, but it doesn't get too bad, just pro- ceed with caution if you're sensitive to such matter. Thank you so much for reading! =)
