The Alpha & Beta's Regret
The Alpha & Beta’s Regret – Chapter 138

Addison POV

That Siren sang for several hours, her song made several of the women down here in the cells cry. Pain was radiating off of the creature and could be felt by all. Even Addi found it hard to hold back tears herself. Leaned there up against the wall trying to not feel the pain of the creature.

Then it just stopped and all was quiet. Addi was more than curious about what had happened to make her so very sad. Walked over and took a book from the small bookcase Zoe had in here and then walked to the bars, and stared at the tank for a long moment. It was a risk but one she needed to take.

Hurled that book at the tank’s glass, watched it smack right into the glass with a resounding bang before falling to the floor.

“Are you crazy insane?” Zoe gasped.

“Maybe. Just stay back.” Addi told her.

She saw that creature for the first time. Its angry face appeared before her and looked at her from behind the glass. Two black eyes peered right at her, saw that creature bare its pointed teeth and her, saw bubbles come from it and knew it was hissing at her, watched as its tail flicked furiously in the water.

Addison stared right back at it, didn’t look away, knew that the Siren wouldn’t like it, also knew that the beast understood how deadly she was, but Addi needed to get a good look at her, which she was doing right this minute.

She was actively challenging it and she knew it, watched as one clawed hands tapped the glass, clicking its nails on the glass all menacingly.

Laughed at its attempt to be menacing. Saw it hiss once more in the water and then swim about furiously, away and back to the glass to stare at her many times.

“Don’t piss her off, Addi.”

“I need it to fully surface.” She replied simply “Mind-link to Victor, you can do that right?”

“I can, I never do it.” Zoe muttered.

“Tell that man I am down here ticking his Siren off, and it looks to be going to kill me. I want to see how loyal to him it is.”

“You’re treading on thin ice, Addison.”

“Or his Siren is.” She stated and grabbed another book and hurled it at the tank, watched at that Siren slammed itself into the glass and understood in that moment it knew, it wasn’t allowed to touch any of Victors women down here, that was good for her.

It was furiously swimming about and she grabbed another book, it was right here staring at her now. Addi smiled at it and then just hurled that book right at the thing’s face, saw It roar inside the water, “That’s it little one, come to Addi now” She chuckled softly.

Watched as it shot to the surface, as she heard the door bang open to the cells down the corridor and Victor yell all Alpha “Silla, NO.”

She smiled at that creature on the surface, and let out that deep low whistle, that Lucian had taught her to call him.

Saw that Siren’s head snap up and its whole body go rigid Oh yes, it understood on some level what that sound was, even above water. Though she knew it would resonate better in the water, but she had been taught to do it on land.

Addi knew she’d hit the mark she had intended to because she had that Siren’s undivided attention now. It didn’t know what to make of her though and she knew it.

Victor was suddenly right there at the tank “Silla, back off now. I need her alive.”

He got hissed at by his own Siren in an aggressive manner.

“Silla, tell your beast to back off or I’ll drain the tank for a month.”

Interesting she thought to herself, stood there and watched his interaction, saw that Siren of his sink back down into the water and then it was just gone. Victor’s eyes turned right on her, he was filthy mad and she knew it. Though he was trying to control his temper, she thought. Smiled right at him all sweetly, but said nothing at all.

“I wouldn’t aggravate Silla. He grated out.

“I wasn’t trying to, just wanted to see her, she was so very sad, Victor. As a former Luna, I just wanted to comfort her was all.”

He was glaring right at her now, didn’t believe her at all. He looked at the books on the floor and then back to her. “You do it again and I’ll punish one of the others down here, bring her right here and punish her in front of you, make sure she knows its all your fault as well.”

Addi frowned at him, wondering if he actually would do that.

Saw him raise an eyebrow at her now and then just announce loudly for all down here to hear “I will punish one of you for every upset or disturbance that Addison causes.

Bring you right to this cell and do my worst to one of you each and every time.” He was standing there staring at her pointedly.

“You’re a despicable savage,” she stated.

“Yes I am and you’d do well to remember that, if you get injured on purpose down here. I’ll injure each one of them in the same way, it will be on you that, that happens.” He stated, and then just turned and walked up the stairs of that tank. She watched him touch the water and a moment later saw that Siren appear before him.

“Silla, come on, spend time with me, hop out.”

Saw that Siren shift to her human form and the girl got out of the tank. He took her hand and walked her down the stairs behind him. Although she had Victor’s hand, her eyes were on Addison as she walked passed her.

“My apologies Silla, was it.” she stated softly “I’ve not seen a Siren in a while… miss them.” she called out as the girl was pulled along by Victor, leaned on the cell bars and watched for as long as she could, saw Silla turn and look right at her.

That’s it’ Addi smiled to herself ‘let your natural curiosity about other Sirens consume you.’

Victor may have rushed down here and taken her away, but even Silla, which was her human name, not her beast’s name, understood he’d not come to calm her because he cared she was upset and angry. No, it was because he didn’t want her hurting the new girl he’d brought into his cell.

To Silla, Addison was just a new female he was going to have s*x with at some point and he didn’t want her damaged. Stood and wondered about that creature even more now. If he always called her Silla, did he even know her Siren’s name? It was possible he didn’t. Her beast would only give it up if she wanted to.

“Zoe, thank you.”

“What did you achieve from ticking that bastard off?” She muttered.

“I established a connection with Silla…’m curious, Zoe, have you ever heard him call her anything but Silla?”

“No, why?”

“Because if he doesn’t know her Siren name, there is room for me to win that creature over yet.”

“I don’t think so, she was furious.”

“I know, but she understood me.”

“Understood what?” Zoe asked with a frown.

Addi smiled. “That I know other Sirens. You said Victor raised her since she was a toddler.”

“I did.”

“She’s remained inside this pack the whole time. I bet that thing, Silla’s beast, Silla herself, has no idea there are other Sirens out there.”

“So what?”

Addison turned and looked right at her. “Siren’s love Siren’s more than they love anything else. They don’t particularly like being alone as she is here.”

“And?”

“I know 3 sirens.” She smiled “Now, Silla knows I have a connection to her own kind, will be curious and maybe l can use that to our advantage.”

“She loves Victor.”

“No, she doesn’t. Loves the s*x on tap. If she loved him, you’d all be dead and he’d have a Siren Mate and little Siren babies.” She laughed now.

Silla did not love Victor like he thought she did. Lived here because she had never been anywhere else was all, and didn’t know any better. She had just seen the way hed talked to her, gently so up there at the top of those stairs, took her hand and led her away.

There was trust there, she was willing to bet, but she didn’t think that Silla was going to be 100% loyal to Victor like he thought she would be. Wondered just what he had told the girl, how he’d gotten her for himself. Likely 18 years ago and if she’d been a toddler, she couldn’t be more than 20 or 21, still young and impressionable.

She could work with that, was going to, in fact. Sank down and leaned on the wall. “Zoe, can you mind-link to all the women down here, are they pack members?”

“Yes, he forcibly bled most of them to him. When they were brought here, does it again if they sever from the

pack.”

“Good,” she smiled “Let’s have a chat about getting us all out of here at the same time, shall we?”

“He’ll kill my mother.” She heard Zoe sigh.

“Then she comes with us as well.” Addi stated simply,”

We’ll snag her on the way out if you know where she is.”

“I do, but if this doesn’t work.”

“It will,” she nodded “Trust me, I’m or was a Luna that was in the war room. Planned strategies and I know how to fight. I’m also a pure-b***d, strong…/ also got me a witch side, that is itching to be fully released and realised, am barely containing now adays. I think it’s time to let that side of me out…finally got me a genuine reason to out myself completely.”

She looked down at her hands and nodded as she felt the heat of her magic itch in her palms. Yes, it really did want to be released and used by her. What better place to let it out than on this man and his pack! She saw them glow just a little bit and smiled to herself, it would not be hard to release it.

She only had trouble containing it. Letting it out was just a matter of letting go of all her control over it. Shed seen the way it had rattled the paintings on the walls in Rafes packhouse. Had barely contained it then, she would let herself release it when the time was right. On his warriors, in all likelihood, knock a few of them off to help with that war that was coming.

She’d always kept it contained, didn’t want that father of hers feeling it and coming for her, so had barely ever used it, only to hide what she actually was from the world. Kept that bit of silver out of her eyes with a simple spell. The silver in one’s eyes usually denoted witch b***d from what she’d read, and she’d hidden that after her life in her home pack.

They’d all known what she was because of the way her eyes were, hated her for it even, so she’d learned to hide that silver from the world, a simple little spell of illusion which was only on herself and affected no one else.
