The Alpha’s Feisty Mate
Chapter 20: Prisoner

Isabella POV

The way Alpha Drake made my body feel was like nothing I’ve ever felt before. He was a drug, and my body was addicted.

He asked me to obey one rule, that I not leave his territory. It was a simple rule, but I can’t agree with it. Call me stubborn, but I just can’t do it. I swore on my father’s grave that I would avenge his death and make Derek pay for his betrayal. If I agreed to obey Alpha Drake’s rule, it would make it impossible for me to replace Derek and kill him. I would be stuck here.

I’m loyal to the core. When I give someone my word, I mean it. Therefore lying to Alpha Drake just wasn’t an option for me. It goes again my core values, and I won’t do it.

I knew he was using seduction to get me to obey him, and my wolf was screaming in my head to give in, but my will was stronger. I swore my revenge. I can’t just let that go because Alpha Drake knows how to work my body like a marionette.

He was teasing me, and I wanted more. No, I needed more. My body was trembling with desire as he ever so lightly l!cked my p***y all the way to my clit. I wanted to scream at him to p…leasure me. I was getting s…exually frustrated. I tried grinding my p***y against his face, but he wouldn’t give me more, not till I gave in and agreed to his rule.I almost caved more than once. He’s dangerous. When he touches my body, I can feel my strong will bending. I can’t let that happen.

When Alpha Drake realized that I wasn’t going to give in, he stopped his assault on my body and stood from the bed. I was lying there n…aked and a complete panting mess. I tried to glare at him, but I was consumed with l**t, and my glare probably looked like a seductive glance. I watched Alpha Drake walk towards the bedroom door.

He told me I would be locked in my room until I obeyed. He wouldn’t dare lock me up! Would he?

Well, s**t, he did it. He locked me in my room. My l**t-fuelled body was quickly replaced with rage as I slammed on the door and threw everything I could lift at it, trying to break it down. I swear the door was made of steel or something. It didn’t even budge. The window would be useless since I’m all the way up on the 5th floor. I huffed and sat on the bed, trying to think up a plan.

I put my sweatpants back on but had no shirt to wear. Thanks to Alpha Drake, who was kind enough to rip it off my body. I rolled my eyes with irritation. I used a towel and wrapped it around my chest to cover myself up. I sat on the bed and waited, bored out of my mind. I eventually dozed off.

I woke up feeling eyes on me. I looked around the room and found Alpha Drake sitting on the love seat by the wood fireplace, watching me.

“Creep,” I blurted out as I adjusted the towel around my chest.

“It’s not like I haven’t seen your body, Isabella.” He said to me with an eye roll.

“Time for dinner. Let’s go,” he said.

“Ummm, you ripped my tank top, and I have no other clothes. I’m not going anywhere like this.” I said, pointing to the towel wrapped around my chest.

Alpha Drake didn’t say anything. He just stood up and left the room. Two minutes later, he returned carrying a large black T-shirt.

“Here, throw this on for now. Your clothes will arrive tomorrow.” He said and tossed me the black T-shirt.

I knew it was his because his scent was all over it. Bri was purring in my head at the idea of wearing his shirt. I just rolled my eyes at her.

I walked over to the bathroom and shut the door behind me. I removed the towel and slipped on the T-shirt while inhaling deeply. Secretly I love having his scent caressing my body.

When I was done changing, I walked out of the bathroom to replace Alpha Drake waiting by the door. He looked me up and down, seeming satisfied that I was wearing his shirt.

“Let’s go eat.” He said and walked out of the room.

I didn’t say anything. I just followed him down the hall. We made our way down to the main level and walked into a dining hall. The room was packed, and everyone fell silent as we entered. All eyes were on us. I gulped, not feeling very confident at the moment. I was wearing baggy sweat pants with an oversize T-shirt and no bra, not exactly first impression attire, I thought to myself.

We walked to a table at the far end of the hall, and I immediately spotted Clair. She was seated next to the man that was introduced to us as Beta Jared. She looked so happy. Her eyes were sparkling with adoration as she glanced over at Beta Jared. He had the same look in his eyes whenever he met hers.

Well, at least this trip wasn’t a complete failure. She wouldn’t have found her mate if we didn’t come here. I smiled to myself, happy for her.

When Clair noticed me, her eyes changed to concern. She stood up and ran to me, embracing me in a hug. I hugged her back, feeling comfort in her familiar arms.

“Isabella, I’m so sorry about everything. Are you ok?” She asked with concern.

“None of this is your fault, Clair. I’m fine even though he’s keeping me like a damn prisoner,” I said sarcastically.

She gave me an apologetic smile and guided me to the seat beside her. I sat down quietly.

Alpha Drake sat at the head of the table, Beta Jared was on his left side, with Clair seated beside him, and I was seated next to her. Gamma Erik was seated to the right of Alpha Drake.

I saw a pretty red-headed she-wolf approach the table with a smile on her face. She was approximately 5’7, slim but curvy build, with long wavy red hair. She wore a green sundress that made her emerald green eyes pop. She was gorgeous.

I watched her walk up to Alpha Drake and drape her arms around his neck from behind.

“Your home. I missed you.” She whispered seductively in his ear. I couldn’t even stop the low growl that left my l!ps.

What the hell was that? Did I just growl possessively?

Everyone stopped eating and looked at me with shocked looks, including the redhead.

“Sorry, I had something stuck in my throat.” I tried to cover up the growl with some coughing and patting my chest.

It seemed to have worked, most went back to eating, and the redhead went back to seducing Alpha Drake, but I noticed his eyes were glued to mine. He had an amused smirk on his face. Just great, that’s all I need, him thinking I’m jealous. His head would grow bigger than it already was. I internally rolled my eyes and went back to eating.

Alpha Drake introduced the redhead to Clair and I as Jill. I didn’t like her. Not that she said or did anything to offend me, I just didn’t like her. Ok, maybe I was a little jealous, but I’ll never admit it. I couldn’t help but think they probably have a history together. It caused another wave of jealously to course through my body, but I pushed it back down. Bri was growling in my head.

Clair didn’t speak much to me over dinner. She was so infatuated with Jared that she spent most of the meal talking with him. I didn’t mind. I wasn’t really in a chatty mood.

Jill ended up taking a seat directly across from me at the table. She sent me several curious looks but seemed nice enough. Didn’t matter. I was not here to make friends.

After dinner, Beta Jared offered to give Clair and I a tour of the packhouse. Alpha Drake looked hesitant but allowed it, giving me a pointed look.

“I have work I need to do. Bring Isabella back to my office when you are done the tour.” He said to Beta Jared.

“Oh and Beta, Isabella is not to be left alone under any circumstance. Do you understand?” He sternly asked Beta Jared.

“Yes Alpha, you have my word.” He replied.

“Isabella, I’m warning you, try something stupid, and you’ll never leave that room.” He threatened me.

“I’m not going to try anything. Settle down.” I replied with an annoyed eye roll.

I stood up and left the hall with Clair and Beta Jared, leaving everyone else behind at the table.

Beta Jared showed us the movie theatre first. It had a massive flat screen with enough rows of seats to accommodate 100 people. Next, he showed us the lounge. It was a laid-back atmosphere with a full bar in the corner and several couches and tables spread out around the room for groups to socialize.

I noticed how close Clair and Beta Jared seemed to be together. It was weird thinking how the bond can draw you close to your mate so quickly. I mean, they met only a few hours ago, and now they are acting like a loving couple. Whatever, they seem happy, so I’m happy for them.

Beta Jared seems like a really nice guy. He was sweet with Clair and made some jokes along the way.

Once we were done our tour, he guided us back to Alpha Drake’s office. The door was open, and Alpha Drake was seated behind his desk, looking over some documents.

“Alpha, we are done with the tour. Would you like me to escort Isabella back to her room? Beta Jared asked Alpha Drake.

“No, that’s alright, Beta. I’m almost done here and will take her. Go enjoy some time with your mate. Alpha Drake replied without looking up at us.

Clair gave me another apologetic hug and said goodnight before Beta Jared guided her out of the room and left me alone with Alpha Drake.

“Take a seat, Isabella. I have a few more documents to review.” He said without looking up at me.

I ignored him and instead explored his office. Glancing at the books that sat on the shelf along the wall.

Once I was done exploring the books, I turned to replace Alpha Drake watching me intensely.

“Can I borrow a book for my prison, or is that against the prison rules,” I asked with sarcasm in my voice. He glared at me and furrowed his eyebrows.

“I told you Isabella, it’s simple, you agree to follow my one rule, and you will be free to roam my territory as you please.” He said

“Oh, so basically, If I agree to obey, I get upgraded from my small prison to a bigger prison? Aren’t you a generous Alpha?” I spat sarcastically at him.

“Suit yourself, Isabella. I don’t understand why you’re being so difficult.” He said while shaking his head at me in frustration.

“My father was killed only days ago, if you haven’t forgotten, by a man he trusted. I won’t stop hunting until I replace Derek and kill him.” I spat with pure rage in my voice.

“So that’s why you refuse to obey. You want to go off on a lone she-wolf suicide mission to avenge your father?” He said while rubbing his hands through his hair.

I said nothing more. I had already said too much.

“That’s it, isn’t it? I can’t let that happen, Isabella. I won’t.” He said with determination in his tone.

“Take me to my room,” I said, feeling frustrated with his need to control my life. Why did he even care? It’s not like we were mates.

He shook his head and walked out of his office. I followed him and we walked in silence till we reached the door to my room.

“I had some workout clothes brought up to your room, as well as another one of my T-shirts for you to sleep in. Training starts at 6:00 am. I’ll come and get you at 5:45 am. Make sure you’re ready.” He instructed while opening my bedroom door.

I didn’t reply. I walked into my room and slammed the door in his face. I heard the lock click, and I lifted my middle f!nger to the door feeling satisfied with my defiance even though Alpha Drake couldn’t see me flipping him off.

I made my way to the ensuite and stripped my clothes off. I had a quick shower before slipping on the white T-shirt that Alpha Drake left for me.

I climbed into bed, and it didn’t take long for me to fall asleep. Today was a long day, I thought to myself as sleep took over.
