Sold To The Ruthless Alpha

Still Damien’s POV

I kept looking around, searching for Allen, but he is not anywhere in sight. I don’t know if he is hurt or even dead. I don’t know if he has betrayed me, he may be hiding behind a tree, waiting for me to be killed so he can control Sofia. Or worse yet, he could transfer the demon wolf into his body, and then kill us all. There will be nothing standing in his way, he would go back to my city and proclaim himself Alpha of my pack.

Oh, No…

My parents, my people…

He will destroy everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve, he would bring in the rogues into my pack and they would force everyone else to submit to the demon wolf. What the hell is wrong with me, why the hell did I bring him here? I could have seen this coming, I should have known that this is his end game. He knows that there is no way he would steal territories from other packs, there is absolutely no way that the king would let him form a pack in that territory. The only way he can be an Alpha and fulfill his promise to the rogues is to get rid of an Alpha and steal his title and pack. He chose me as his scapegoat and I was too blind to see the signs, I was too distracted by the things happening around me. I failed to see the signs all around me, I failed to connect the dots.

Damn, he is good!

He is so good at acting. I stupidly fell for his tricks a second time. He has been planning this hostile takeover for a while now, Stacy was just a pawn in his plans. He made it seem like he was helping her, he even tried to convince me that she had forced him to come up with that potion. But that is not the case, Nah. It has been him all the time he has been the one calling the shots. He planned everything to get back at me and at the same time achieve his dreams of becoming an Alpha.

It’s not a coincidence that the rogues escaped from the king’s dungeon a few weeks ago. It was all a part of his brilliant plan to steal my title and my pack. I had doubts about his motives all along, but I didn’t think that it was this deep, I never thought about all this until now. Wait, where are these thoughts coming from, was it because I got thrown by the demon wolf, or did I hit my head pretty hard when I landed on the floor?

Wait…

“Scott, is that you?” I asked with a smile as I felt myself getting stronger.

“Don’t get too excited, you idiot. It’s not like I can do anything to get you out of this situation.” He responded in his usual sarcastic way. The smile on my face got wider when I heard his voice. It’s been so long since I have spoken to him, I didn’t realize how much I miss him until I heard his voice just now.

“You pathetic fool!

I can feel your wolf stirring awake. If that is the reason you are smiling like a fucking idiot, then you are even more stupid than I had ever imagined.

Neither you nor your pathetic wolf can defeat me, I am too powerful to be defeated.” It let out with a mighty howl, picking me once more and throwing me the other way around. But this time, I didn’t hit a tree and I didn’t fall on the floor like a weakling. I shifted into my beast midway and I used my claws to grasp on a tree, sliding down the tree and landing on my two feet. It ran towards me at full speed, but I was able to dodge its attack this time because I now have my wolf. He may not be at full strength now, but he can certainly avoid getting beat up by this demon for a few minutes.

“I have always known that you are a weakling, but I never would have thought that you were also stupid as well. You do not deserve to be called an Alpha. You don’t deserve to have this beautiful damsel as your mate. And guess what, Alpha Damien, when I get rid of you, I would look for a stronger man that is worthy of being the strongest wolf on earth. I would gladly dominate him and bless him with power and authority. Then I can take this pretty damsel as my mate and she would be privileged to bear my pups and give me strong heirs that would help me dominate this earth.” He let out excitedly, mocking me with his words and at the same time trying to distract me from dodging and escaping his attacks. He is so smart, so fucking smart. I can’t believe that it is trying to use my own tricks against me. I had tried to play this same game on him when I first got here, and now it is using that same trick on me. Too bad, I’m not in the mood for games. My life and my entire family and friends are at risk, so this is certainly not the time to play silly games with a demon wolf.

I kept jumping in different directions, trying to keep some distance between us. If there were onlookers around, they would think that all I’m doing is evading the demon wolf, but that is so not true, Far from it. I am trying to get a better view of all the corners, I am trying to find Allen Cole, I want to know where he is hiding and I want to force him out of his hiding place before he activates his plans. I warned him not to mess with me and made him a promise which is about to keep. If he thinks for one second that I would let him get away with this, then he has to think again.

“You dared me to come out and face you, now I’m out. Why don’t you man up and face me as well?

You can’t run away forever, Damien. If I were you, I would stop acting like a fucking coward. You can choose to die like a coward, or like a hero. Either way, you are not leaving this island alive.” It taunted. I know what he is doing, he is trying to lure me into a trap so it can kill me. I’m not falling for it, I’m too wise to be tricked so easily, or so I thought anyway.

“Help me, Damien. It’s got me and it won’t let me go. I don’t want to be the demon wolf, I want to be with you, my love. I miss you, Damien, I miss my family, I want to go home.” Sofia let out in a shaky voice that pulled on my heartstrings, causing me to stop immediately and turn around. I saw her kneeling on the floor, her eyes filled with unshed tears as she pleaded with me, begging me to save her.

“Don’t go Damien…

It’s a trick…

It’s the demon wolf…

It’s going to kill you…

Don’t go… Don’t go… Don’t go…” my mind kept warning me, but I couldn’t turn away from her, not when she is looking so miserable.

“Maybe she has defeated the demon wolf, maybe my words finally got to her and she decided to be strong and fight it off. Or better yet, it could be Allen Cole. Maybe he has decided to do the right thing, he may have succeeded in transferring the demon wolf into his body. He could have decided to follow up with our plans, he could be a good guy after all.” I kept on repeating to myself, trying to convince myself that I am doing the right thing by going back to her. Scott was in support of my decision, he kept urging me forward, telling me to save our mate. My instinct kept warning of an imminent danger, but I ignored my better judgment and decided to follow my heart. Even if it turns out to be a trick, at least I can have the chance to speak to Sofia, I can try to reach her one more time and convince her to stand up and fight. I ran back to her, kneeling in front of her, pulling her into my arms and cuddling her.

“It’s okay, my love. It is not your fault, at all. I know that and I would do everything in my power to help you, but you need to help me as well, you need to fight this demon inside of you, it’s so evil and manipulative, but I know that you can do it, I know you can defeat it, you just need to fight it, my love. Fight for our love.” I told her, cupping her cheeks with my palms, and looking into her eyes.

“If I fight off the demon wolf, will you still be with me, will you continue to love me like you did before?” she let out in a shaky voice, sounding so lovely. I smiled widely at her silly question. Why the hell would she think that I will ever reject her, why would she ever doubt my love?

“Of course, Sofia. I would always love you no matter what. I can never imagine a life without you, my love. There is no way in hell that I would want to live without you. You are my world, my Luna. I would never give you up for anything in this world, I can never live without you.” I whispered to her, pulling her hair behind her ears, caressing her face, with my eyes fixed on hers. At first, she was smiling like my Sofia, leaning more into my arms, enjoying the moment, or so I thought. All of a sudden, the smile disappeared from her face and her eyes shined a bright red, as she smirked and glared dangerously at me.

“If you wanted me to be strong enough to defeat the demon wolf, then You shouldn’t have lied to me and you shouldn’t have done anything to hurt me and my family.

And tell me, Damien. What is going to happen to your pretty little whore when I come back to you? Are you going to keep screwing her behind my back, or maybe you will send me on another vacation while you stay back and screw that stupid whore!” she yelled in anger as she shifted into the demon wolf. It wrapped its huge hands around my neck, lifting me off the floor. I struggled to breathe, while also struggling to free myself from its firm grip, but I wasn’t able to. I just kept struggling in vain, while it stared at me in anger and disgust.

“You are so pathetic, Alpha Damien. You are not fit to be an Alpha.” It spat out in disgust before flinging me across the woods. It used so much power to throw me, making sure that I don’t get a chance to regain my stamina. I heard the sound of my bones breaking as I hit a tree and landed on the floor. My painful howl could be heard across the wood as I landed hard on the floor.

Damn, Dam!

It hurts so bad!

I don’t think she would ever stop torturing me. If you ask me, I think she is enjoying every moment of it. She is paying me back for everything I did to her, and I can’t say that I blame her for her actions. I treated her so poorly when she was with me, I acted like a stupid jerk and I hurt her feelings. Now it’s time to pay for all my mistakes, I can’t complain because it’s all my fucking fault. I’ll just have to sulk it in and find a solution quickly before she succeeds in killing me. She is coming to finish what she started, I can hear the footsteps approaching.

Wait,

The footsteps are not approaching, it’s departing. Why is she going away, has she decided to leave me alone, or did she finally come to her senses?

I looked up immediately, ignoring the pain I’m feeling all over my body. It was when I looked up that I realized that the footsteps do not belong to the demon wolf, it was Allen.

“You bastard!

I knew I should never have trusted you.” I let out in disgust as I glared furiously at him.

“Too late to regret your actions, Alpha Damien. I’ll stick around and wait for your precious mate to kill you, then I will take back my demon wolf and send your mate to you in the afterlife.” He grinned stupidly, making me even more furious. We could both hear her footsteps approaching and I know she is coming for me. He knows that too, and he wants to run away and hide it I’m not letting him go. He won’t get off so easy.

I pulled out my gun and pointed it at him as I stalled him with the questions that has been bothering me for some time now. I’ll be glad if he answers them because I really want to know how long he has been planning this, I want to know if he has been working with Alfredo Black all this while because there is no way that all these things happening to me and my family is a coincidence. But if he decides not to answer me, I can’t really force him to. The goal is to keep him too busy to notice that I am stalling.

“I know you’re too dumb to plan all this by yourself, so tell me, Allen, have you been working with a famous drug lord named, Alfredo Black?

Did you help Sofia’s brother to take revenge against me, did you put him up to it?” I asked him curiously and I watched carefully, keeping my eyes fixed on him, ready to pull the trigger if he makes any funny movement. He gazed at me nervously, it’s obvious to tell that he doesn’t want to be there, he is scared of the demon wolf and I can’t say that I blame him. I am as scared as hell, but I have to keep him here until the demon wolf gets here. Sofia wants to punish me for hurting her, so I’m guessing that she would not attack me first, she would first attack him before she comes for me. That would give me enough time to fix some tranq bullets in my tranquilizer gun. Besides, if it attacks Allen, then he has no choice but to use his magic to defend himself.

“Yes, Damien. I helped Alfredo Black and I also helped Lucas Blake. Oh, wait, I also help Stacy to meet Alfredo Black. And you know the best part of this…

I did everything anonymously. They all think their meeting was fate, they think they were so lucky to be getting information and tips on how to defeat you easily. But it wasn’t luck and it was fate either. It was all me, I fucking did it all. And soon, I will be called Alpha.” He let out smugly, eliciting an anger y growl out of me. I wish I can be the one to kill this bastard, I want to rip off his head and feed it to the vultures. He is so evil and I fucking hate him.

“Mate…

Damien…

Where are you?” Sofia called out to me, sounding so seductive.

Damn,

She is so hot!

It has shifted into Sofia’s form once more and she keeps looking so cute whenever she shifts. It’s just as if she is sprinkled with some glamour source and it’s so damn amazing.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see her getting closer. She has an evil glint in her eyes as she tilts her head and smirks at me. I could tell that she is stalling on purpose but I have no idea what was going through her mind. I got a little distracted for a little while, I failed to notice Allen Cole sneaking up on me from behind.

My gun was smashed out of my hand and before I could react, Allen took to his heels, running as if his life was in danger. Actually, it is. And that is why he shifted into his beast and sprinted into theatre woods. He was trying to put some distance between himself and the demon wolf. I wasn’t about to let him escape again, If I let him out of my sight again, he could find a better hiding spot and I may not be lucky enough to fish him out again.

I shifted into my wolf and ran after him, howling furiously as I ran. The howl was a signal to anyone else around, I need help from my warriors, but there was no one to answer me because everyone was down, nursing their injuries. I was alone in this, so I had to do everything possible to stop this bastard from getting away. I ran and ran, but I couldn’t catch up with him because he had put much distance between us. I could hear Sofia’s laughter behind me, I have no idea what could be hilarious to her, but I won’t stick around to find out. I did not turn back, I just kept galloping away, trying to catch up with Allen. I was gaining speed, I could see him a few feet away from me and I was beginning to celebrate my victory because I would soon catch up with him.

All of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain in my back, and before I knew what was happening, I was being thrown against a tree and I could smell blood, and it is my blood. She had slashed me with her claws, and it hurts so bad. I nearly passed out from the pain when I hit the tree. But I still struggled to open my eyes and look around to see if she wants to kill me. I couldn’t open it completely but I could faintly see the demon wolf, chasing after Allen. She doesn’t want to kill me yet, she only injured me to make me too weak to try to escape.

“This is it, Scott…

It is now or never. Let us save Sofia from this demon wolf, I need you, Scott, our mate needs us.” I urged my wolf as I struggled to get up to my feet. I have to force myself to walk, my healing is taking longer than expected because my wolf is still weak. I don’t even know if Allen was lying when he said that he had sent my wolf to help Sofia, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had poisoned my wolf just to spite me and make me too weak to fight and defend myself.

The lying Bastard!

I saw him standing in front of the demon wolf, smiling like an idiot. He has shifted into his human form, but for some weird reason, the demon wolf could not shift back to Sofia and it could not move forward and attack him either. I realized almost immediately that Allen is using magic to trap the demon wolf in one place while he gets it out of Sofia. I smiled in satisfaction as he falls right into my trap.

I brought out the box that I kept hidden under my jacket all this while. I opened it quickly and brought out the gun that I always put inside. There are right bullets inside the box, but I left those bullets for now because they are not for Sofia, they are for Allen Cole. I dipped my hand in my pocket and brought out one of the bullets that I packed before I left the house with Allen. I chose the silver bullet that is filled with the same poison I used on Allen Cole, wolfsbane, and mountain ash mixed in one potion. I brought out two of them and I loaded it I’m my gun and I aimed carefully at the demon wolf and I shot to right in the neck, that sensitive spot. It shrieked in pain, howling so loud that I had to cover my sensitive ears. It fell on its knees, then it shifted back to Sofia’s form and it lay weakly on the floor. I don’t know if it is pretending or not, but it looks very weak and I can see Allen smiling excitedly,

“Thanks for the help man. This would make it a lot easier to lure the demon wolf out of her body and transfer it to my body. Too bad I won’t be able to reciprocate your kindness.” He let out smugly, his eyes turning pitch black as he turns back to Sofia’s weak body.
