Chereads / Escaping my mate / Chapter 6 - Bound

Chapter 6 - Bound

Wind blew back my long hair, a chilly crisp cold peppered my face turning me rosy and numb.

the feel was amazing as Dryden drove his midnight blue jeep down the wooded back roads of our territory.

Reaching at least 98 through the bumpy Terran, I felt free, a light giggle escaping my lips, I wanted to bathe In the euphoria.

Dryden kept his face forward and eyes on the dirt road , I couldn't stop myself from admiring his beauty.

His expression had turned serious since our encounter in my house.

And in the back of my mind I recall him telling me not to mention to anyone what happened, not like I would, but at my age it dimmed the sparkle raging in my heart.

We didn't speak the whole 45 minute drive to the pack house.

After parking in the large circle drive way Dryden quickly jump out of the car, jogging around to my door opening it before I could, he took a small bow at the waist.

"My lady" his voice was light and playful, just like his eyes that sparkled in the moon light, like a silent promise of something that made my stomach pinch my core heating with need, I bit the inside of my cheek hard enough to draw blood, the coppery tang filling my mouth , I needed to be level headed for whatever the Alpha needed from me.

Level headed was right, the second we exited the jeep and started making our way to the big double doors, Dryden a step behind me my bag easily tossed over his shoulder.

Alpha Pascal came out, the whole atmosphere shifted form a balmy summers night to so cold I could smell the frost rolling off of the grass.

His anger was frightening, I've know him my whole life yet I've never seen him mad, I've maybe heard him raise his voice once or twice but I had always been half hearted.

He trudged towards us a growl rumbling in his chest, two heavy wax sealed envelopes in his hands.

Dryden stopped walking and pushed me behind himself, blocking me from Alphas wrath.

An odd expression passed through his eyes as he stood inches from his son he was almost chest to chest with him, Dryden only being a few inches taller than his father, his face softened letting out a deep sigh.

"Stand down son I'm not angry with you, I'm just upset, extremely upset"

Alpha Pascal spoke softly the rumbling in his chest died down.

Dryden remained quiet, his face blank, staring straight ahead his fists clenched at his sides, his stance was rigid, his eyes glued to the ground.

Alpha sighed and placed the letters in Dryden's open hand,

He looked over the rich beige colored envelopes a scowl pinching his handsome face as he turned one over and opened it, gently breaking the gold wax seal.

His eyes Scanned the document for only a second before a growl began rumbling up his throat making me step back, unlike his father I had seen Dryden angry and I didn't want to be caught in his rage.

Though instead of his rage he turned to me thrusting the second envelope into my clammy hands and marched off into the massive pack house slamming the large double doors so hard the small stained glass window that decorated the door shattered as a ear splitting roar echoed, oh he was big mad, I couldn't find the nerve to look down at the letter identical to his, what could be in this thing to cause two Alpha men to make a scene.

Alpha Pascal reached over placing his giant hand on my shoulder, I looked into his eyes, he looked very concerned, which was unsettling.

"Go on Essie you need to open it" he urged me, trying to give me a reassuring smile and failing as it turned into a scowl.

With shaking hands I broke the golden wax that sealed the envelope, I noted the crest of the Alpha King, a broken great sword.

What could the king want with me?

Sheepishly I double checked the name beautifully written on the front in gold calligraphy, yep that's my name.

Gingerly I pulled out the note it was hand written, which means that this was sent by the King himself, a cold sweat broke out all over my body as I read the contents.

Dear : Ms. Clint.

I am writing to inform you that within a weeks time.

the yearly Alpha summit will commence.

This letter is to inform all up and coming Alphas Betas and Gammas that this summit is mandatory.

You and other packs members will be taking up the mantle from those before you.

You will be made to come into your position as the power changes hands.

Prepare yourself Beta.

For the Kings games only one Beta one Alpha one Gamma and an omega may attend.

warm regards

Alpha king Monroe Archer.

My world shifted as I let my arm drop to my side, letting the letter fall to the ground.

It now made sense, the reaction from the two Alpha males, they would be forced to send us, the next generation to take over the pack from them in the Kings games.

My heart started beating very fast it echoed in my ears.

It was mandatory I would be made to become beta the Right hand of the new alpha, alpha Dryden.

"Essie breath, just breath, everything will be okay" Nissa tried to soothe me.

Tears silently fell from my eyes, I would never get a chance to run they Alpha King had sealed my fate.

That's why Dryden was told to make me bring a bag, I wasn't going back home, and in that moment I broke down.

My mind had blanked I didn't remember being carried inside but Dryden warm scent was all around me.

Tho I felt him place me on the bed and tuck me in.

All earlier feelings of euphoria and calm were snuffed out in an instant.

There's no way around this the second I opened that envelope I was bound by law.

fuck.

The next few days were a blur I barely remember Dryden bringing me food and water as I lay curled up under the heavy blankets.

This can't be real I didn't want this, no had even told me if Dryden went back to fix up dad my phone hasn't rang even once.

Doesn't Melly wonder where I was?

The door to my room squeaked open, heavy foot fall sounded in my ears.

They stopped at the of my bed waiting.

"Just leave the tray and go" I sighed, I felt so fatigued.

Listening I waited a moment hoping for the retreat of the footsteps but nothing.

Then my covers were ripped off of my body roughly, strong hands grasping my ankles, pulling me to the end of the bed.

"Hey!!" I yelled in a panicked voice.

Peering down at me was a very stressed looking Dryden, his eyes raised at me, his hair falling softly around a sleep starved face, heavy bags under is eyes almost like to purple bruises.

"You need to get up we need to prepare" irritation evident in his tone.

Dramatically I flung myself back on to the bed, ignoring his order to get up.

A warning growl rumbling through his chest as his large form Descended upon me, heavy callused hands grabbing my wrist pinning them above my head, pushing his muscled leg between my own spreading them apart.

Gasping I let out a small whine of submission bearing my neck to my Alpha.

"You don't get to fall apart Essie, I need you" he pleaded, I looked away in defiance, so he grabbed my chin with his free hand forcing me to look into his eyes, his thumb playing gently with my lip.

A unwanted moan left my lips, need flaring to life like he'd lit a match.

Dryden let out another growl as he pushed my legs farther apart, I could feel his member hard against my stomach.

My breathing quickened, my hands gripping the sheets, a whine leaving my lips.

"Please dry" I begged in an embarrassingly weak voice.

Dryden's eyes darkened, his gaze dropping from mine, his hips grinding against me causing a strangled cry to escape my lips.

Fuck I really didn't need this right now.

Dryden took control of my mouth again kissing me with desperation, his hand moving slowly up and down my leg.

My moans filled the room as I writhed beneath him, biting down on my lower lip trying to contain myself.

"We shouldn't". My words muffled under his kiss, his hand moving further up my thigh.

"I need you" he moaned into my mouth.

His hand traveling under my shirt, pawing at my round breasts, rolling my nipple between his fingers.

My body was on fire as I let out a whimper, my body tightening underneath his touch.

The sound of the door opening caught both of our attention, Dryden froze instantly stilling at the door frame, his eyes meeting his mothers, she looked shocked.

She was dressed in her usual black dress, her red hair twisted up.

"Oh my Goddess! I saw nothing!" she panicked turning away as we quickly righted our selves.

"Mom it's not what you think" Dryden huffed, irritated by the interruption.

"I'm not thinking anything" she exclaimed turning back around to face us.

My whole body was red with embarrassment.

"W-what did you need mom" Dryden stumbling over his words.

She stood still for a while twirling her hair around her finger "your father needs you both in the living room some delivery's came for you" she rushed away hurriedly down the long hall.

After she was gone Dryden turned to me red still visible in his cheeks , he snapped his fingers in my face.

"You heard her come on let's go pick up the pace" he ordered playfully, I walked out the door before him mocking him as I went, Dryden chased after me slapping me as hard as he could on the ass, then he ran and I chased, a growl forcing it way up my throat.

god men are all children.
