Alpha´s curvy bullied human mate
Chapter 97: A tiny, little detail

Penelope

"Nate's not going to fall into your trap... " I said. Marco had dropped me off in a house.

"You're wrong about that. He will come... even if he hated you at first, even if he denied you as his mate. The bond will force him," Marco said, looking at me as he sat in a chair across from me.

I had given myself to him and made myself available to his terrible plans, but in my mind, there was nothing else I could do, I was not going to let my friends die, nor the innocent people who had recently escaped his clutches. The only thing I could prevent was to hide my mark, combing my hair into a braid when no one could see me.

"But you see... your mistake is thinking that I only want to keep you here to manipulate Nate," he says, walking over to me with a first aid kit and starting to look at my hand and my wounds.

"What do you mean?"

"You're... different. The daughter of an Alpha..." he says, telling me about Phineas as he heals my hand with particular gentleness.

"That... that can't be true..." I tell him in shock. I knew my father was a monster... but this, this is terrible.

"My mother would have told me... she wouldn't have kept something like this from me".

"Maybe she didn't even know his true nature. Phineas kept their relationship a secret for a long time until my father found out and confronted him, and of course, he took his chance. That's the difference between winners and losers," Marco says matter-of-factly, adjusting the bandage on my hand to make sure it's okay. I didn't understand this man at all.

"It must be a mistake..."

"Then how do you explain that you survived for so long? You escape from the rogues, you flee to the town, and you were attacked by wolves... you lived alone in the forest and you survived. Then you were attacked by vampires, my rogues... so far your case is impressive," he says.

I had never cared about my biological father it was better not to know about him. But this... this was unexpected.

"Do you not find it strange that humans and wolves follow you? You are the union of a human and an Alpha, the first of your kind. And yes, humans are the weakest link in the chain of nature," he says.

"But you want to exterminate us..."

"You're wrong...I don't want to exterminate you, I want you... I want you to work for me."

"Enslave us, you mean," I say and he smiles.

"You are not the smartest or the strongest, so you need help and what better than the help a superior species can provide?"

"You are completely insane and people will not allow it," I say, and he looks at me with pity.

"My little human... the change is already underway, no matter what you do or believe. Ever since I was young I felt very special that my parents were destined mates, I thought the purer we were, the better. But the reality is different. Even a species as weak as you can bring a lot."

"Do you want to mix humans with wolves?" I asked incredulously.

"Wolves, humans, vampires, rogues... all of them."

"You can do something like that."

"Oh yes I can and I have. And the key is to control it, not let it happen by chance. Have you never wondered why your brothers are so strong? Mixing... helps the species, it's well-known among humans. But of course, it depends on who is involved in the mixing." This is insane.

"Your mother had strength, she survived with you, managed to dodge our warriors... she ran away and found another mate. I guess even ordinary humans have something special. Maybe it's just strength. You know, my fellow wolves don't see it that way, but I'm just saving our kind... " he says.

"While you kill us..." I say, and he walks over to me and takes my hand.

"I think we got off on the wrong foot, Penelope, and it's my fault. I didn't like seeing you with Nate, it hurt my plans, and I was even more upset to see how powerful you made him...."

"What the hell do you want from me?" I ask and suddenly there's a knock on the door and we're waved out.

Erica stays while several werewolves guard us, trying to clean up our tracks and scent. We leave through one of the borders to the north and I see they have a camp I feel the air leave my lungs as I realize it is immense. Hundreds and hundreds of warriors are there, waiting for Marco's signal. I see other Alphas, including Franco, the one I saw when I was captured by the vampires. We walk into a big tent, and he stares at me.

"Now, do you understand that they will never be able to defeat us? We are more and stronger. Moonstone is doomed, and you have a chance to choose to be on my side "

"And if I don't?"

"Then it will be the hard way. And to answer your question...I want you...I want you to be my mate..." he says moving closer to me and I panic.

No...no fucking way.

"Get away from me! I have a mate! It's not allowed!" I say, shaking and desperate, and he looks very determined as he grabs my arms and pulls me closer to him.

"Haven't you understood yet? I will change the law of the wolves, the council is mine and we are already corrupting other councils. You will make me powerful... more than Nate."

"That's impossible...you're not my mate!"

"I just have to try. Mark you and make you mine. Who can stop me? You're alone here with me! I control the wolves here, the council supports me, the king is a lazy wolf who never interferes in our problems, even he will see that what I say is true," he says, getting ready to sniff my neck when he stops dead in his tracks.

"What is it?" he asks, and I shiver.

"You smell different. I've been following your scent for weeks now... your scent has changed," he says, taking a step back.

"It can't be... you're pregnant," he says, and I'm shocked.

"What?" No, no, it can't be.

"You didn't know? The smell is very subtle but there it is..." he says, looking at me with hatred.

By the goddess, this couldn't happen at a worse time! I fear just thinking about the future that awaits my little one.

"No, no... " I say and his pleasantries end, he grabs me by my waist and pulls me close, his face inches from mine.

"Must be short on time... a few days. Or maybe it's just a weak human you're carrying in your belly," he says, taking my face to move it aside, noticing my mark. When he touches it, it hurts.

"Damn, that fucker Nate tricked me, he never told me you were marked! I thought he'd regret it, that he wouldn't be with a human! You? The Luna of his pack?" he says, pushing me to the ground.

I fall, trying to protect myself. I am shaking. How can I protect myself and my baby? I see him kicking things in the tent and screaming his head off.

"Then... it's going to be the hard way... this is all your fault, Penelope, I want you to remember that everything that's going to happen next is because of your actions, you brought this on yourself," he says looking down at me from above. "Everything is going to get worse for you from now, the only way to remove your mark is to kill your mate and of course... we have to get that bastard out of your womb as soon as possible," he says and I despair. "No! No!"

"You will give ME a strong pup to control them all..."

I don't realize I'm crying, he leans into me and puts his hands on my neck, pressing down, and I feel like I can't breathe.

"Maybe if you behave well, it can avoid killing your brothers... they followed you, did you know that? They are in my power. I could also use them as an experiment," he says, and I cry more.

"I can't let your bastard live, the last thing an Alpha wants is competition," he says, and then a mind link seems to come to him.

"Looks like your stupid Alpha fell into the trap, but he survived. It's just a matter of time before he gets here...and you and I will be waiting for him."

"No...please..." I say, almost out of breath.

"Soon I will mark you Penelope...you will be mine, I will take you... I'm sure there will be something about you that I like. And when you least expect it, you'll be carrying my pup. We'll try... until you give me an Alpha," he says, pressing my ass against his crotch, and I feel a pain in my chest.

"Maybe I'll even fuck you in front of your mate's dead body. I wish he could see everything I'm going to do to you. You're a strong human, so I'm sure you'll hold out...you'll see I'm a hard Alpha to please..." he says and lets go of me. I fall to the ground and cough in despair. I stay there crying, thinking about my fate, my baby and all the people I love.
