Chained By The Alpha Jessica Hall

I don't know how long has passed, but my body is beginning to feel numb. Although, I do have feeling back 1n my leg, and boy is it painful

Zayn's lips look a little blue, and even his body heat isn't doing much to keep us warm now. He now observes me with something that looks like concern in his eyes, but I think I imagined it because as soon as it comes, it is gone "Are you alright?" he asks. I nod, but he knows it's a lie because my body is shaking like crazy

He sighs, his breath fogging the air. "I'm going to shift into my wolf form. I'll be able to keep you warm better."

Seriously? Did he think of that now? "I'm glad

you finally realized," I scoff, not that the idea had come to me either

Suddenly, he grabs hold of my neck tightly

"Careful there, princess. If it weren't for the fact that your father pays me for protection, I could fucking care less. But if you must know, our wolves aren't human, or have you forgotten that? Your scent is driving my wolf mad, so don' t provoke him," he snarls, pushing me off his lap roughly

My heart thumps as I look at the man before me, surprised at his sudden change in behavior. His eyes flash a shimmering black that burns to a bright silver

"Wait!" I blurt, now worried his wolf will kill me. I'm Alpha blood, and his wolf is an Alpha

What if he thinks I'm a threat to him and mauls me?

"What, Cleo?" he growls angrily

"Maybe you shouldn't shift? It was one thing for him to heal me while you had control, but you are giving him full control," I tell him, and he rolls his eyes. Before I can utter another word, his bones start snapping

"At least tell me his name!" I blurt

"Zarek," Zayn tells me, and I swallow when he quickly shifts into his massive, black wolf

He is huge, and his aura only seems to grow stronger in this form. He growls then stalks toward me, and I freeze, pressing against the wall as his wolf sniffs me

"Don't eat me," I cringe as his wolf puts his face so close to mine that our noses are touching

Hesitantly, I reach up and brush the fur on his

shoulder

"Nice Zarek, good puppy," I tell him, he huffs at me calling him a puppy. I wonder how much control Zayn even has in this form

His giant wolf then licks my cheek and drops to the ground beside me. I watch him for a second and see him roll his eyes, making me realize Zayn must have more control than I thought because that is clearly a human trait. He sets his giant paw across my lap and drags me against him, pulling me close. Despite his harsh words earlier, I snuggle into his thick, soft fur,

welcoming the renewed warmth of his giant body

Right now, the important thing is to survive

The warmth gives me hope that perhaps we'll make it, and someone will find us before I die down here

I know Dad won't give up until he's found me..

Wrapped in Alpha Zayn's wolf's warmth, I somehow drift off once again into an uneasy sleep, one filled with rogues, bloodshed, and dead bodies

It is only when I hear a loud explosion that I am snapped out of my sleep, making me shoot up, and the Alpha growls. A second explosion blasts more debris into the already tight space, forcing him to shift back

At that very moment, light seeps into the freezer room, and I turn to see none other than my father standing there in wolf form. Several men are with him, but his eyes are on us, a look of pure rage in those burning eyes of his. A terrifying growl leaves him, echoing off the walls and trembling through me

"Get off my daughter!" Dad roars, making me look up into the eyes of Alpha Zayn; his lush, dark locks are covering his forehead

It is then, with pure horror, that I realize that not only am I in my skimpy bra, but the Alpha is on top of me, straddling me totally butt-naked

"Wait! Dad, it's not what it looks like!" I scream when I see my father move to grab him. Zayn, however, 1s much quicker. I find myself precariously caught between two Alphas wanting to rip each other to pieces as Zayn pulls me up with him

But it is too late; Alpha Zayn's eyes narrow at my father as he stands to face him with me caught between them

"She was freezing to death, I was trying to keep her fucking warm..." he spits out in a cold voice

that surprises me. Dad doesn't seem to care and steps closer, pushing the Alpha away from me

"You may be the Alpha of your pack, but you have no right to touch my daughter!" His voice booms through the room as they square off against each other; both are huge Alphas full of power and might, though only one could win this battle for supremacy..

The tension in the air is so thick, you could cut it with a knife. My dad and Alpha Zayn are at each other's throats, both exuding menacing auras, their eyes locked in a challenging stareContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You're making out like I am hurting her. I'm not interested in hurting your fucking daughter Joseph, now get out of my way!" Zayn snarls furiously

Dad, however, refuses to bow down to him, and

I find myself caught between the pair of them

"Don't push your luck with me." Zayn's voice is menacingly low as he looks Dad straight in the eyes

Standing tall between them both seems futile

They are both so much bigger than I am, and

their anger 1s only escalating with each word being spoken

"She's my daughter!" Dad roars, his voice echoing through the confined space. "And you had no right to touch her, regardless of the circumstances!"

"As I said," Zayn retorts, unyielding, "She was freezing. What was I supposed to do? Let her freeze to death?"
