The Alpha’s Feisty Mate
Chapter 27: I never give up

Isabella POV

I started to wake up with a killer headache and a fogy mind. Where am I? What happened? I wondered.

As my brain became clearer, I started to remember what happened before I went unconscious. I was knocked out by an arrow that I assume was laced with wolfbane. I tried calling my wolf but she wasn’t answering me, confirming that I was drugged. Great I thought. This is going to be a lot tougher without her. If I’m not mistaken there should be four of them left.

I knew I was in a vehicle from the motion and I quickly realized my hands were tied up. Luckily for me it feels like rope and not cuffs around my wrists. My body was leaning over my legs with my tied hands dangling by my feet and my head on my lap.

I calmed my breathing so that my heart beat didn’t alert anyone that I was awake.

I could feel that my body was sandwiched between two hard masses, I’m going to assume I’m in the backseat of a vehicle stuck between two rogue goons.

I moved my hands to my boot to check and see if my second dagger was still there and to my pleasant surprise it was. I tried hard not to let my heart rate speed up from the excitement, I don’t want them knowing I’m awake. I can use their ignorance to my advantage.

Now, to listen and see what information I can collect from them.

“How long till we reach our territory?” The rogue to my left asked.

“We’re about an hour out.” The driver responded.

“How long will she be out for?” The rogue to my right asked.

“She’ll be out till we reach the territory.” Derek answered. My b***d started to boil at hearing his voice and it took everything in me to stay calm. I really wish I had my wolf with me right now to help calm me.

“What’s the Alpha’s plan for her?” The rogue to my right asked.

“This little beauty is going to be his mate or toy, whatever you want to call it. Once he’s done with her, who knows, maybe he’ll let us play with her.” Derek replied with a disgusting chuckle. It took everything in me not to pull my dagger out and slice his throat open.

I have to think clearly. I can’t act irrationally or I will fail. I’ve come so far, I need to finish this for my father.

I slowly pulled the dagger from my boot and brought it to my wrist that was tied up. I moved the blade back and forth but was extra careful not so the goons next to me didn’t feel anything.

It took me longer then I would of liked to free myself but I had to be extra careful, once I finally felt the ropes fall to the ground, I smiled.

Derek should know better since he grew up with me, I’m a fighter, I’m strong and most importantly, I never give up. He’s so full of himself he underestimates me, I’m going to use that to my advantage. He thinks I’m weak, good, it’s going to get him killed.

Once my hands were free I clenched the dagger in both my hands. I took a few deep breaths to calm my heartbeat.

It’s now or never, I would rather die trying to kill them than be used as some rogue Alpha’s toy for the rest of my life.

My adrenaline was pumping and all my thoughts were on my need for revenge. I focus on hearing the heartbeats of the rogues on either side of me.

I sat up holding the dagger in both my hands and with all my power I plunged it into the heart of the rogue to my Left. His reaction was pure shock.

I immediately pulled the dagger out from his heart and turned to plunge it into the chest of the rogues to my Right. It all happened so fast he didn’t have time to react. His face also displayed shock as he took his last breath.

I didn’t stop there though, I pulled the blade out of his flesh and lunged forward stabbing the driver in the throat.

The SUV lost control, I pulled back the dagger and braced myself for impact as the SUV crashed head on with a large tree. I was thrown forward by the motion and hit the windshield. My vision started to blur and I saw spots.

I felt b***d running down my face and I knew I had hit my head pretty hard against the windshield. f**k, I can do this. I had so much adrenaline running through my body, it kept me pushing forward. I wasn’t going to give up, not now when I’ve come so far.

The only person left is Derek.

As my mind started to clear from the fog, I looked to my right and found the passenger seat empty and the door wide open.

Shit, he’s going to try and run. I clutched my dagger and jumped out of the passenger side door.

I assessed the area looking for any signs of Derek. It was still dark outside.

Where did that coward go? I wondered as I looked around.

“I clearly underestimated you.” A deep voice said from behind me. I recognize it as Derek’s voice and my b***d started to boil, pure rage and adrenaline running through my veins.

“You did. Your going to die because of it.” I spat at him as I turned to face him.

“Oh, little Isabella, always the feisty one. How do you think your going to do that without your wolf?” He asked with his head tilted to the side mocking me. I didn’t let it bother me, I knew what he was trying to do, throw me off my game by getting my emotions involved.

“Tell me Derek, why would you betray my father for a pack of rogues? Do you think they will remain loyal to you?” I asked him with my own mocking tone.

“Your father was stupid Isabella, he was a terrible leader.” Derek said.

“Oh, so you think a rogue is going to be a better one?” I spat back.

“How did you feel when you found out your father’s secret, Isabella?” He asked with a taunting tone. I knew I shouldn’t fall for it, but after what I had learned early, my curiosity got the better of me.

“What secret?” I asked.

“Oh, you mean your brother and Alpha Drake haven’t even told you?” He asked while laughing loudly. It irritated me. What the hell is he talking about? I’m replaceing it harder and harder to keep my emotions in check. I didn’t reply and waited to see if he would elaborate.

“Your father kept a secret from you and your brother till the day he died. Your mother was royalty making you and Declan descendants of the royal bloodline.” He said with amusement in his tone.

“When you father died, your brother and Alpha Drake learned this secret and clearly decided to keep you in the dark.” He continued almost mocking me.

My anger was through the roof. What the hell is going on. I was so deep in my thoughts I didn’t notice Derek preparing to lunge before it was too late.

He knocked me to the ground causing me to loose my grip on the dagger.

He got on top of me with his body pinning me to the ground.

“Oh Isabella, I’ve been waiting for this opportunity, having you all alone.” He cooed in my ear while lowering his face to the crook of my neck.

I felt his breath against my skin and it made me shiver with disgust.

I brought my knee up and made contact with his groin, causing him to fall off of me. I stood up quickly, getting ready to fight him.

Derek was also quickly back on his feet.

“You know Isabella, if I shift into my wolf, you don’t stand a chance.” He said with amusement in his voice.

“Your a cowered, I wouldn’t expect anything less from you.” I spat back.

He lunged at me and this time I side stepped his attack, throwing out my leg to catch his. It worked and he fell hard to the ground. I heard a huff as he landed.

I jumped on him while he was down, throwing my fist hard into his jaw. I heard an “Ow” but he quickly over powered me and spun us so I was now pinned under him again.

“Isabella, your feisty ways are only turning me on more right now. Keep it up and you won’t be a virgin when we arrive back on my territory.” He said seductively In my ear.

He had my hands pinned above my head with one of his hands and he was straddling my waist with his body so I couldn’t bring my legs up.

I felt his hand rundown my skin from my neck to my chest where he grabbed my breast roughly. I couldn’t help the nausea coming up my throats. He disgusted me. It fuelled my rage and my need to kill him.

He moved his hand lower to the waistband of my leggings.

“I’ve always dreamed of this moment Isabella. You bellow me, helpless and alone.” He said while kissing and licking at my neck. I turned my head to the side so I didn’t have to see his face and I spotted my dagger only a few feet away.

His hand started to move bellow the waist of my leggings and I started to panic.

I bucked my h**s and wiggled our bodies trying to get closer to my dagger.

“Yes Isabella, keep grinding like that against me, it feels so good.” He cooed seductively as his hand went lower to reaching my p***y.

He raised his head slightly from my neck and I took the opportunity to head butt him with everything I had. I hit him so hard that I saw stars and I heard a crunch sound. It worked though, he let go of my hands and clutched his nose, I knocked him off me and I grabbed the dagger.

I jumped on top of him straddling his waist.

“Your a traitor and a coward. This is for my father.” I said while I plunged the dagger into his chest. Making sure I didn’t hit his heart. Oh no, he isn’t dying that easily.

I pulled the dagger back out while he looked at me with shock. He was gasping for air, I clearly punctured his lung.

“Oh I’m sorry, is this not what you had in mind?” I cooed into his ear before stabbing him again in the chest.

“You underestimated me.” I whispered in his ear before plunging to the dagger right through his heart.

I stood up looking down at Derek’s dead body. I did it. The bastard is dead. I let out a long breath I didn’t realize I was holding in. I can’t finally move on and my father can Rest In Peace.
