The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply novel Chapter 10

 

His commanding tone brought on a wave of fear, yet something else stirred. I wasn’t sure.

 

His voice was gruff, masculine, like it had gone through so much during his time on earth. And as my eyes lift, they fell into pools of amber. I wasn’t sure if it was fright that caused my intake of a sharp breath or if it was the sharpness of his jawline and the plump lips that lined into a frown. He was very tall too,  I had to crane my neck to look at his face properly.

 

His aura screamed what everyone talked about, deadly and calculating. But what they failed to have mentioned was how devastatingly handsome he was for a cold-blooded murderer. They also had failed to mention how young he looked too. He didn’t seem to be older than the age of thirty.

 

He took a strong step towards me, his dark midnight hair weighing down by the rain. I flinched, not able to keep the fear off my face any longer. I was now facing the infamous dangerous Alpha of the Crimson Moon pack. There was no way, I could force down my fear any longer.

 

“Alpha, we found these two stumbling into the territory late last night. This one seemed to be after something.” It was Eli who spoke, pushing the rogue lightly to draw the Alpha’s attention.

 

When his eyes are finally off of me, I could feel the air drawing back to my lungs. But I spoke too soon because as soon as his eyes flit from mine, they draw back as quickly.

 

“And what of this one?” He nudges his head towards me. I couldn’t get past through his eyes to see his true emotions. He was locking them away pretty skillfully, and for an Alpha, I didn’t expect anything less.

 

“We’re not sure Alpha. But Beta Samuel suggested that she was a spy seeing that her scent gave off a familiar pack.” Eli answered.

 

Alpha Xavier’s eyes turned foggy. He was mind linking someone. Seconds later, the Beta arrives, looking disgruntled that he was getting drenched by the rain.

 

“Alpha.” He bowed a little when he stops beside Alpha Xavier. I couldn’t help but keep my eyes on the Alpha. Still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that his face was clearly treasured and carved by the Gods.

 

I have seen many handsome wolves before, that was something wolves never lacked. They were born to look like God’s. Yet the one standing before me with his arms crossed and feet apart in a powerful stance made my mouth water for the first time.

 

“What is she, Beta Samuel?” He removes his amber eyes away from me to regard his Beta who looked as confused as him. It was not every day one would see someone who had features like mine. It was a curse to look this way. Drew too much attention. The bad ones.

 

“Not sure Alpha Xavier. But she isn’t of wolf lineage nor human by her odd features. When I neared her last night, she smelled familiar. I am sure she was sent here as a spy, maybe the cause of the recently spotted killings at the end of the border.” Samuel grunts, looking at me.

 

Alpha Xavier hums and my heart sped up. “What pack are you from?”

 

I shook my head. I wasn’t part of the Crystal River pack since Alpha Raphael refused to accept me as one of their own. But I couldn’t confess to being there, then they’d surely kill me thinking I was indeed a spy sent by Raphael to take revenge on his murdered first Luna.

 

“I’m not from a pack. You have this all wrong, I was fleeing-

 

“Lies!” Beta Samuel cut me off. I shrank under his accusing gaze. “I know what I smelled last night-

 

Alpha Xavier lifted his hand to silence Beta Samuel and looks down at me with eyes that shouldn’t belong to a man like him. “Take her in for more questioning. She’s clearly not saying the truth-

 

“Exactly why we should kill her before we regret it,” Chris budded in behind me. I froze, my heart racing painfully.

 

Alpha Xavier’s eyes harshly snap behind me as he glowers. “Do not interrupt me while I am speaking.”

 

Ripping his eyes away from Chris, he pins me down with his stare again. “Take the girl inside and have her stay in the room beside my own. It’s empty. ” His Alpha command was clear.

 

 

“Alpha are you sure it’s a good idea to allow a spy into the packhouse? And to have her in the room beside your own?” Beta Samuel grunted,  flashed his Alpha a look of surprise, and looked down at me in reluctance. By his features and the other wolves muteness, I realized that it may be the first time their Alpha spared someone. For now.

 

“Are you questioning my command?” Xavier growled lowly, canines extending as flecks of red joined the amber.

 

“No Alpha. We will get her inside.” Beta Samuel rushed to grab my arm and tugged me up to my feet. I grunt. “Come on girl,” He says, tugging me quickly to the huge packhouse.

 

Before the door was closed behind us, the painful scream of the rogue woman tore through me.

 

He didn’t spare her.
