Alpha’s Hybrid Cinderella
Chapter 107

Eda

My ears are ringing when I wake up. I blink rapidly as my eyes try to adjust to the light and I look around to see Osborn on the ground beside me.

I move over to his side and see that he has a black eye that can't heal because of the poison they've used. I wonder if they took a cheap shot while he was unconscious or if he woke up and tried to fight.

The door opens, but we're in a cell. I look up to see one of the workers that I recognize. He smiles when he sees me awake and says, "You did a great job, Eda, Master Wraith is proud of you."

I hear Osborn's voice and it's deep yet it wavers when he asks, "What does that mean?"

I turn towards him, his eyes are blazing with fury and I can hear the worker suck in air between their teeth and then the door shuts as he leaves the room.

My body is frozen as I stare at Osborn. He pushes himself up off of the ground and stands, towering over me, as he states, "You betrayed me."

My breathing is heavy as I say, "I can explain."

He growls, "You betrayed me!"

"It's not what you think, Osbo-"

"Shut up!" He screams, his chest moving up and down heavily as he breathes trying to get himself under control. He shakes his head and says, "I never should've trusted you., I should've killed you when I had the chance." Tears threaten to spill out of my eyes as I say, "You don't mean that."

One eyebrow raises and apparently, he took my words as a challenge. He walks over to me and grips my neck applying pressure like he is considering strangling me right now.

My mind is in overdrive as I try to think of what I can do to fix things. What can I do so that he doesn't murder me right now?

I grab his face and force his lips to meet mine. His grip on my neck loosens and he slams me against the wall, my legs wrapping around his waist. His hips trust up making me gasp and his tongue forces its way into my mouth. When I move my tongue into his mouth he bites at it, trying to display his dominance. His hands move up to my hair pulling it. He moves his lips against my jaw moving up to my ear.

I clutch onto the back of his head as heat pools at my core. He bites my earlobe and I grab on even tighter, surprised by the pain yet the pleasure makes it worth it and causes a thrill that no one else has ever been able to give me. He whispers in my ear, "This changes nothing. You still betrayed me."

I nod as I move my hips against his making him moan. I say, "I know, but I can fix it."

He growls out, "How?"

I can't think of any other option and his neck is right against my lips. My canines lengthen and I pierce into his skin.

He hisses from the feeling, but the moment my teeth retract, he drops me.

I fall on my a*s hard as he moves away and yells at me, "What the f**k was that?!"

"If we're marked then you would be able to feel through the bond if I'm lying to you. You'll have a direct link to me! I thought it would fix things!"

He scoffs and shakes his head, "That didn't fix anything, Eda! This has made things worse! How can I trust you?! You just marked me without any warning!"

"You can mark me-"

Osborn gets in my face as he screams at me, "I don't want to mark you!"

The door opens and both of our faces turn to see who it is. My mom and Master Wraith walks in the room and my mom says, "Oh, Eda, sweetie, you've done incredible! I can't believe you were able to mark the Alpha! Oh, it's delightful. Don't you think so, Master Wraith?"

Master Wraith nods his head in approval and continues to stare at Osborn. Then his eyes flicker to me and he says, "I always knew having you as a child would pay off." Wait, what?

Is Master Wraith my father? Why didn't my mom ever tell me?

I look at Osborn and his eyes move between my mother and Master Wraith as he shakes his head and murmurs, "No..."

Osborn

Flicka. This woman is Flicka, the woman who tried to come in between my parents. Her father is the one that tried to take over the Scarlet Pack. She and her parents had been banished and cast out as rogues forever.

The man that Flicka called 'Master Wraith', this is the man that kidnapped me all those years ago. He smirks as he stares at me with his arms crossed.

My face snaps towards Eda as I say, "You trapped me."

She shakes her head and tears spill down her cheeks as she says, "No, no, Osborn, I didn't. I had no knowledge of any of this, I swear." Master Wraith says, "Both of you, shut up, none of this matters anyway."

His eyes narrow at me but he tells Eda, "Go to your mother."

She looks at me and then at Flicka before doing as she was commanded. Disgust fills my veins; how could she have done this to me?

Her mom puts her arm around Eda and rubs her arms in a loving, motherly way. Mater Wraith says, "Now, you, I need elf blood. For real this time."

My eyebrows furrow, what did he mean by this time?

He continues, "If you can't get the blood for me, then... Eda will die."

I want to scoff at his obvious empty threat, but I refrain. No need to tick the guy off anymore.

But it's obvious he's bluffing. Eda is apparently his daughter, surely, he wouldn't kill her. His lips curl up into a devious smile as he remarks, "You think that I'm lying?"

I don't respond, that's what he wants. He wants to egg me on and make me agree to something when he has no true leverage.

He makes a tsk sound before he says, "Now."

Eda gasps and I look at her as her mother injects something into her neck, right on the mark that Peelle made. Her mouth opens in a silent scream as tears run furiously down her face showing the amount of pain she's in.

My wolf is furious and ready to fight but Master Wraith looks at me and says, "Her health will slowly deteriorate and I'm the only one with the cure. If you want her to live then you need to get me elf blood."

I scramble for words as I say, "I don't know how to get that for you. There are no full blooded elves near us."

He shrugs, "Figure it out."

Master Wraith walks over to Eda and grabs her chin as he examines her face. He smirks before patting her cheek and saying, "Good girl."

Eda crumbles to her knees as Master Wraith and Flicka leave the room.

How? How could they do this to their own daughter?

I'm angry with her, but I don't truly want her dead.

What am I supposed to do now?
