The Alpha’s Feisty Mate
Chapter 56: Dinner for two

Alpha Drake POV

I’ve been going crazy all day. I couldn’t feel Isabella through the mate bond for most of the day, probably because of the wolfbane she was given.

midway through the day, I started to sense her emotions and I got hit hard with her fear. I felt rage flowing through me, I don’t know how many holes I punched in the walls, It was the worst feeling, being completely helpless, while sensing her distress.

What is he doing to her? All of the worse case scenarios were running through my mind and it was driving me mad. Even my closest friends, Erik and Jared couldn’t approach me, I was inconsolable.

I gathered a dozen of my best warriors and got ready to head towards the B***d Moon Pack, I’m really hoping our hunch is right and we replace Isabella on the rogue territory, where ever it is.

Erik is coming with me and Jared is going to stay behind to take care of pack business, in my absence.

Oncer the warriors were ready, we loaded up into the waiting SUV’s and started to drive towards the B***d Moon Pack territory.

I couldn’t relax, I just wanted to be there so we could start searching.

“Boss, we’re going to replace her.” Erik said while glancing over, trying to reassure me.

“We have to, I don’t know what I would do without her.” I replied with so much desperation in my voice.

The rest of the drive was quiet, we eventually got to the B***d Moon Pack, after it was dark outside.

We pulled up to the front of the pack house and were greeted by Alpha Declan, his Beta, Jet and Gamma, Jason.

He looked stressed and tired. I know how much this must hurt him, Isabella is the last family member he has and knowing she’s been kidnapped must be destroying him almost as much as it is me.

“Alpha Declan, I’m sorry, I failed her. I was suppose to keep her safe and now she’s gone.” I said sounding defeated.

“Alpha Drake, she went out there on her own, this isn’t on you, but we need to replace her, before something happens.” Alpha Declan replied. I nodded my head, I didn’t know what to say, my brain could only think about Isabella, all I wanted was to start searching for her.

“Alpha Drake, my head omega, Lana, will show you and your warriors to your rooms, we can start the search for Isabella at dawn.” Alpha Declan said.

“Thank you.” I replied and we followed Lana inside the pack house and towards our rooms.

Once I got to my assigned room, I thanked Lana and closed the door behind me.

I know I’m not going to be able to sleep, I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to sleep again, not until she is safe by my side.

Isabella POV

I need to be ready for dinner on time, I didn’t want to replace out what the consequences would be if I wasn’t. I picked myself up from the ground and went to the washroom.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I noticed there was a small makeup bag on the counter, i opened it and pulled out some black eyeliner, mascara and red lipstick. I hurriedly applied the makeup, since I didn’t have much time.

I let my hair down and ran my fingers through it. It will have to do, I thought to myself, as I stripped out of the sweater and nightgown I was wearing.

I picked up the Black dress that Alpha Ryan had laid out on the bed for me and slipped it on over my head.

It was a beautiful dress and under normal circumstances, I would of felt sexy wearing it.

It was a black floor length, silk dress, the top was a halter and the back was completely exposed all the way down to just above my a*s. There was a slit that reached the middle of my left thigh.

I didn’t have time to look myself over in the mirror, because there was a knock at the door.

I took in a deep nervous breath, before the door opened.

Thomas stood at the door with a disgusting smirk on his face.

“That’s better.” he said, while eyeing me up and down, I didn’t miss the l**t within his eyes.

I watched as he stalked towards me, I moved backwards matching his steps, until my back hit the wall behind me and I couldn’t go any further.

He bent down in front of me and that’s when the realization of what he was doing, hit me. He was unlocking the chain attached to my leg. He removed the chain but left the silver cuff on my ankle, making sure my wolf stayed suppressed. I didn’t miss the few extra seconds he took to brush my leg with his fingers, I felt sick at his touch.

Thomas stood up and walked into my walk-in closet, disappearing out of sight. I glance at the wide open bedroom door for a second and briefly thought about making a run for it.

I needed to be smart about my escape and acting on impulse, wouldn’t get me out of here. Plus, I knew there would be consequences for my action and I didn’t want to replace out what they would be, so I remained in place.

Only seconds after, Thomas came back out holding a pair of black stilettos in his hand. He handed them to me without saying anything and I slipped them on. Even the shoes Alpha Ryan got for me are the right size, his obsession with me was concerning.

“Let’s go, he’s waiting.” Thomas ordered, but he stood in the door frame, partially blocking my access. I waited for him to moved, but he didn’t, he had that disgusting smirk on his face, again.

I glared at him, before I brushed my body past his, I felt his hand land on my bare lower back just above my a*s, as he guided me down the hall. I shivered with disgust at his touch.

It took everything in me, not to spin around and knock him out. I knew I could kick his a*s, but then what, I don’t even know the layout of this place. I would be going in blind and would likely get caught before I made it outside. I need to wait for the right opportunity.

We went down two flights of stairs, before we reached the main level.

We walked through the living room that had a couch, two love seats, two armchairs and a television mounted on the wall.

Past the living room, I could see a large kitchen with an island separating it from the living area.

As we moved towards the kitchen, Thomas guided me to a door. He opened it in front of me and I saw that it lead into a formal dinner hall. Inside there were long tables with chandeliers hanging above.

The hall was empty, except for the head table. Alpha Ryan stood next to it, his hands were clasped behind his back, while his eyes were glued on me.

I watched, as his eyes slowly travelled down my body, he had a pleased look on his face.

I felt disgusted, as he undressed me with his l**t filled eyes. I felt naked in front of him, all I wanted to do was cover myself.

“Turn for me.” He commanded, as I stood in front of him.

I paused for a moment, I really didn’t want to obey him, it physically hurt me inside to comply with this scumbags orders, but I reluctantly did it. I twirled in front of him so he could take all of me in.

“Beautiful” is all he said.

He move to the table and pulled out the first chair that was beside the head of the table.

“Sit.” He commanded, and I reluctantly complied.

He then made his was to the head of the table and sat down next to me.

“Thank you, for joining me.” Alpha Ryan said with a smile.

“I didn’t have much of a choice.” I replied with irritation in my voice.

“You will learn to appreciate me. I’m going to be your mate after all.” He said nonchalantly.

“Like hell, I will never be your mate.” I spat out defiantly.

“Oh, but you will, your kind soul won’t allow you to let others die, indirectly at your hands.” He said with a knowing smirk. He was right, but I didn’t say anything.

I felt panic settling in, he wanted me as his mate and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I didn’t want innocent people dying and I knew he would have no problem following through with his threats.

Seconds later, Lily entered the dinner hall carrying two covered plates. Her cheeks were flush and her eyes were red, I could tell she had been crying. She had a fearful look on her face and she wouldn’t look at me. Her eyes were lowered as she made her way towards us, she placed the plates down in front of us, before quickly leaving.

The whole time, Alpha Ryan’s eyes stayed glued on me, he had a satisfied smirk on his face. I knew my emotions where on full display, I tried to hide my fear and concern, but I couldn’t. He could see right through me.

“Let’s eat, Isabella.” He said, while removing the lids from our plates.

I glanced down and saw a grilled filet mignon, with mashed potatoes, green beans and a red wine reduction. My stomach grumbled at the smell, but I only felt nauseous, I couldn’t eat, not right now.

“I’m not hungry.” I replied, In a quiet voice.

“Eat.” He ordered. I hesitated for a minute, before I picked up my utensils, cut a piece of green bean and brought it to my mouth. I chewed slowly while staring at the plate in front of me.

I felt his eyes on me the entire time.

“Now, the Luna ceremony will be in two days. I will mark you and announce you as my Luna at the ceremony, in front of my pack.” He said sternly while looking at me. I didn’t say anything and my eyes remained glued to my plate.

“It’s in your best interest to accept this, trust me, I could make your life a living hell if you don’t.” He said. I glanced at him and saw the dangerous glint in his eyes.

“I will never accept you as my mate, you might mark me in two days, but in my heart, you will always be the enemy.” I spat back defiantly. I couldn’t hold back the words, they came out on their own. I was longing for my true mate, Alpha Drake. Tears started to fill my eyes and I fought to hold them in. I don’t want him to see me cry.

I watched his face turn to anger and the vein his neck was protruding.

His eyes glazed over and I knew he was mind-linking.

Seconds later, Thomas walked in dragging a crying Lilly behind him. My eyes shot to her, now what have I done.
