Alpha’s Hybrid Cinderella
Chapter 113

Eda

How did things get so bad so fast?

It was supposed to be a wonderful party and we didn't even get a moment to enjoy it. Peelle joins me inside a safe room. Neither one of us speaks as we try to listen out for whatever is going on outside. I can't help but touch my mark from Osborn. I need him to be okay.

It felt like the battle lasted for hours before Osborn let us out. He hugged me and kissed my cheek and down my neck as he murmurs, "I'm so glad that you're okay, love." Peelle's eyes scan the room and he asks the question that no one realized yet, "Where's Alita?"

I see Claudia's eyes widen and she looks around the room and Evan says, "She was supposed to come inside. Where would she go?"

Everyone scattered instantly looking for Alita, but one by one we all came back to the main room. Claudia's eyes are glossy and she whispers in disbelief, "She isn't here."

Evan holds her arms and Osborn murmurs, "No, no, no, no!" He throws a vase across the room and says, "This is my fault. We didn't have enough people on guard, we didn't take enough precautions."

I'm frozen and can't move as he continues his rant. His parents try to help him, but Peelle walks over to me and wraps me up in a tight hug. Heavy sobs rack through his body and he clutches onto me as if I'm his lifeline. Silent tears pour down my face. I feel like I failed my first true challenge as a Luna. I don't know what to do now.

Osborn's words break my heart as he says, "She's only 17. She doesn't even have a wolf! She's not a match for anyone. We have to find her."

Alita

When I wake up, I'm naked and on the floor of a dark room. My body shakes from the cold and from the fear that floods through my veins.

I don't know how long that I've been unconscious for. All I know is that my body aches and I don't know why someone chose me to kidnap.

A light appears through the c***k in the door as it opens, but it doesn't last long. Something is put around my head and I want to resist but the deep voice tells me, "Don't take it off or you'll be punished."

My mouth dries at the thought of a punishment from someone I don't know. They wouldn't have the best intentions for me. They could seriously hurt me.

A new deep voice asks me, "What's your name?"

I press my lips together and he sighs heavily, "I know your name is Alita Thorne, but what is your full name."

I don't want to answer him. But he's not asking me a question, he expects me to cooperate and if I don't there will be consequences.

I breathe out, "Alita Joy Thorne."

"Hmm..." He mumbles and then states, "Alita Joy Thorne, your name is now Aurora May Bell."

My eyebrows furrow as I ask, "What the hell are you talking about?"

He snaps, "Your name is Aurora May Bell, and you are mated to Aamon Walker."

I growl, "I have no mate! I'm not even old enough to take a mate!"

The blindfold is ripped from me and whoever is with me stands behind me so that I can't see them. There's a TV screen in front of me with a spiral the way you always see hypnotists use. The man says in a calm voice, "Your name is Aurora May Bell."

I hiss, "My name is Alita Joy Thorne!"

We go back and forth for a long time. I want to fall asleep; I'm exhausted from fighting back, but they won't let me drift off to sleep until I do what they want. They even put sensors on me to shock me when I don't say what they want.

My body spasms after another electric shock. I feel so physically and mentally drained and I don't know what to do. At this point I think that I'm on my own and no one will be able to rescue me. At some point I say, "My name is Aurora May Bell."

I can hear that the man that has been with me is pleased, and he says, "Aurora May Bell, do you have a mate?"

I'm exhausted and I can't remember, do I have a mate? I don't recall ever meeting him.

I shake my head no, "I don't believe so. I haven't met him yet."

The door opens, but I don't move. A person comes in front of me. He's attractive and has a charming smile and he says, "Aurora May?"

I look at him as I slowly nod my head and his smile gets wider if that's even possible and he says, "I'm Aamon Walker, I'm your mate."

Tears make it hard to see and I respond, "I've waited so long to meet you."

My arms relax as I'm no longer tied and my eyebrows furrow. Why was I tied in the first place?

Aamon puts his fingers below my chin and tilts it up so that my eyes meet his. He says, "Come on, baby, you must be exhausted. You should get some rest."

I try to stand up but I stumble right into Aamon's arms. He chuckles before he picks me up and cradles me against his chest. He tells me, "You'll feel a lot better after you sleep."

I nod and lazily put my head against his chest and I can hear the steady thump of his heartbeat. I stare at his neck and ask, "Why don't you have a mark? Aren't you my mate?"

He gives me that handsome smile of his as he says, "We haven't marked yet, baby. You wanted to wait till we knew each other better."

My eyes flutter shut and I yawn as I lean against his chest and say, "All I know is I feel safe with you."

He kisses the top of my head as he says, "I'm glad you do."

I might not know what all is going on right now, but I'm happy that I have my mate by my side.
