Chapter 68 The Mad Alpha

Elijah turned and saw Candice standing there barely able to support herself, the injuries on her body were shocking. It seemed those in the morbid packhouse hall were the lightest injured.

"You need to see a doctor..." Elijah said, seeing the blood the woman was losing.

"He killed them all." She whispered. "You don't have time, the cavern is 20 miles from here, not far from the River Kent. I can mark it for you on a map."

The man holding her made her sit on the ground as he shouted at someone to bring a map. Elijah opened a map on the phone in his hand and crouched down holding it out to her.

Her shaking hands reached for it. Elijah zoomed in around River Kent and Candice began to move the map as she looked for the location.

"He's your son." Elijah said. The woman didn't even falter at the statement, simply sighing.

"Yes, a shame isn't it. I gave birth to a monster, nothing to be proud of." Her voice was clipped despite how weak she looked and sounded.

"It doesn't define you, you're Scarlett's grandmother and I'm sure she will be happy to know she has you." Elijah said quietly. Candice looked up giving him a weak smile before she motioned to the phone.

"It's around there, you won't miss it. They would have had to travel by foot at the end."

"Thank you." Elijah said standing up. "I want those with any knowledge in first aid to stay behind!"

Candice and the man supporting her looked up at him surprised. Elijah raised an eyebrow.

"This pack belongs to Scarlett and I will take care of what is hers." He said softly, his heart clenching painfully at the fact she wasn't here.

"Thank you, Alpha Elijah, please save our Alpha too." The young man next to Candice said. Elijah nodded.

"Harrison knows where the cavern is once you get there, although he isn't a state to walk. Perhaps if someone can carry him?" Candice suggested, looking weakly over her shoulder as she motioned to a teen boy.

"We can do that." Elijah said motioning to Liam to get the boy before walking off, they had no time to waste...

Scarlett groaned, her entire body was screaming in agony. Her insides were burning, and she could feel the wolfsbane being injected in her even now. Her arms were tied painfully behind her back, it seemed they knew not to take chances. A sharp kick to her stomach made her flinch, making her open her eyes slightly. She looked around they were in some sort of cave and she almost smiled in irony. Why was she always bought to caves? She was beginning to hate them. She could tell from the light that came in from outside that it was probably late in the afternoon. She could see a few wolves standing around the edge of the large cavern.

"Fucking bitch!" Hissed a voice she recognised instantly.

"Fuck off." She spat back, now glaring at the man who was stood above her. His platinum hair was no longer sleeked back, in fact, it looked like he was stressed out. She was glad he was, his suit looked rumpled too. She wondered why he was so stressed but did not have time to ponder over it when he grabbed her by her hair and lifted her from the ground, slamming her against the wall. She clenched her teeth not giving him the satisfaction of knowing that he was hurting her. "Keep going, end it. Kill me if you can." She taunted, glaring at the man she resented with every inch of her being.

"Oh, I will." Zidane said glaring at her. He had thought she would succumb to the mark and when he came for her he would destroy her but then there was an influx of attacks and trouble from within. He had to regain control. He hadn't thought the blood moon would change things, but it had, she had found her mate and any control or plan he had was ruined. Then she had the cheek to try to overtake his pack!

He slammed her head against the wall angrily and Scarlett gasped, her hands were bound by silver chains and although they burned her skin she knew if she had the strength she could break free. "I was meant to be in control! You were made for me to use! You will be my obedient dog, or I will fucking kill you!" He shouted, repeatedly smashing her head against the wall and making her vision spin, hissing when he emptied another syringe of wolfsbane into her.

"It wouldn't have worked; You can never control me... you never were able...the reason..." She trailed off, trying to clear her darkening vision. "The reason I irritate you so much is because you were never able to break me. I'm a fucking Alpha!"

She smirked as a fit of cold blazing anger surged from the mad Alpha and he dropped her kicking her across the head.

"Don't ever give yourself that much importance!" He shrieked, his eyes flashing dangerously, his wolf making its presence known. "I will break you!

"Then go ahead, all you can do is attack when I'm down. If you're such a strong Alpha fight me! One on one!" She shouted, seeing one of the wolves step forward a syringe in hand. She growled making him hesitate, feeling her aura around her.

"Give it to her!" Growled Zidane and the man made to inject her. Scarlett spun around, pulling her chains and letting them whip the man across the face.

"Bastard!" The man growled. Scarlett's eyes flashed dangerously her Alpha aura now surrounding her despite how weak she was feeling.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"You will regret this..." She said quietly, the dangerous tone to her voice made him hesitate but Zidane stepped forward grabbing the dropped syringe and injected it into her neck. "I'm not alone. Not anymore." She mumbled as he hit her across the head making her fall to the ground.

Her vision blurring, thinking this wasn't meant to happen. She was meant to be stronger than this... She needed to shift. If she could, she would be able to defeat him... She closed her eyes, his beating continued as he kicked every inch of her body wanting her to scream out, to hear her pain. She worked on her heart rate, she needed him to think she was out cold. One thing she knew about Zidane, he hated rushing to the kill, preferring to play first...

*Focus on something that calms you' She told herself, taking a deep breath as Elijah's face flitted into her mind, focusing on him she honed out the pain her body was facing. Remembering his scent, the way he held her, looked at her with so much love and the promise to always be there for her. She felt a sharp pain in her chest. She needed him and this time she couldn't free herself, she had been tricked and resorted to such a weak state...

'Elijah..." It was the last thing she thought before a searing pain rushed down her back, realising Zidane had moved on to using weapons for his abuse.

'I'm coming Kitten, hold on..." Elijah's distant voice came, she smiled weakly. Had she imagined his voice? Probably... but she didn't mind, if this was it then she was glad the last thing she thought she heard was her loves words...

'Hold on..." It was the last thing she heard as a knife was stabbed into her back repeatedly before she lost consciousness.
