Alpha Drake

Days went by so fast, and Emily did her best to follow Millie’s instructions. Amidst the missing piece in her heart, she still continued to move on. She tried to forget everything about her past. Though it will take time, it will eventually vanish like bubbles into thin air sooner.

At this moment, the deadline that the Alpha had given them is long overdue another week.

Day by day, she’s getting better… physically. Her body is slowly coming back. A healthy body when her mother is taking good care of her.

When silence covered her room, her thoughts traveled to the Alpha’s whereabouts.

‘Certainly, you’re missing him,’ Leia spoke through mind link again.

Emily shook her head, walked towards the window, and sat on the single couch. This has been her favorite spot since she was brought into the royal house.

Looking at the view outside keeps her calm. Sometimes, she’s staring at the vast space outside, watching the trees dance, or listening to the birds as they serenade her, comforting her with their wonderful harmony. And when the night came, she would look up in the sky and watch the stars glimmering as if they were winking at her, saying… “everything will be fine,” then to the moon, which sometimes hid in the dusky clouds.

She was smiling while looking at the moon when she heard a knock at the door.

“Come in,” she said, but her eyes were fixed on the scenery outside.

“Good evening, Miss Emily.”

Emily frowned as she had never heard that voice and turned to face the owner.

Aside from Lilac, Millie, and Dillon. They also have maids in the royal house to do things for her. But this one, she was afraid they had never met.

“G-Good day. My apology, but we haven’t met before.”

She stood up and walked closer to the old lady.

The old lady smiled at her. “I am Senior Helga, the head maid of the royal house. The Alpha sent me,” she said.

Alpha?

Hearing this word made Emily’s heart skip a beat, and shivers ran down her spine, which confused her.

“The A-Alpha? Why?

“He wants me to make sure that you are prepared for tonight,” Senior Helga said.

Emily’s eyes widened as confusion faded in. ‘Are we going to do it? Is he going to claim me tonight?’ she wondered.

“W-What should I do?” she asked, her body slightly trembling.

The old lady clapped her hand gracefully as she summons the other maids that were waiting outside of the room.

“We will help you prepare for tonight, Miss Emily,” Senior Helga said as she motioned to the maids who lined up on her both sides.

Emily didn’t speak further and let the maids assist her.

The maids are like robots who don’t even pay attention to her. They just did their work as Senior Helga instructed and Emily was there watching them as they bathed, scrubbed, and even shampooed her hair.

Her mind is drawn to the thought that she will lose her virginity tonight. She was scared about where will this goes through. Can she, do it? Does it hurt for the first time? What will happen after their intercourse?

Can she let him plunge inside her and claim her?

For every girl like her, she wished to give her purity to the man destined for her—her mate. But she was unfortunate.

This is frightening for her because she will do it with a man she doesn’t know nor love. She was doing this as part of a bribe.

She needs to perform her role.

In the end, she is the one who gets lost and even saves her father. The loser is always her.

When will she ever win?

Drowning in her thoughts, she doesn’t even realize that she’s all set. The room is filled with aromatic scents, making her more anxious than she thinks.

‘Calm down, Emily. I can feel your longing,’ Leia, the dire wolf, teased her.

Emily didn’t talk and ignored Leia’s stupid humor.

“You’re beautiful, Miss Emily,” Senior Helga gives her an honest compliment after the maid combed her hair.

“T-Thank you, Senior.”

Emily looked down at her and grasped into the lacy white dress that they made her wear. She never wore any thin clothing and daring like the dress she’s wearing her entire life.

She understands that this outfit suits a perfect pleasurable night, but there’s no love involved. It will only be as a business between her and the Alpha.

And as the cold wind passed through the window, she felt coldness between her legs. And at this moment, she realizes that she’s wearing nothing inside except for this white lacy dress.

She gasped in horror when Senior Helga spoke once again and bade her goodbyes. When she left with the maids, silence filled the room, and it was deafening.

Emily could even hear the loud thumping of her heart. She took a deep breath and sighed many times to calm herself.

It will only take nine months, right?

Soon as she delivers the child, she will be set free. That’s what the Alpha said the first time they met.

“You got this, Emily,” she whispered.

‘Of course, you will, girl. Fighting. And I can’t wait to get out!’ Leia talked.

“No, Leia. I don’t know if my body can make it if I shift.”

She heard Leia growl. ‘You can do it. The Alpha is handsome and damn; his biceps is so perfect—’

“Leia…” Emily paused when the door suddenly opened. Her eyes widened when she met his gaze.

“A-Alpha…” she whispered; her body started to tremble.

Alpha Drake kicked the side of the door, and its sound made her gasp.

Emily’s heart thumped even swifter. Her chest moved up and down.

Alpha Drake walked forward, making Emily step backward, and when the Alpha stopped, she stopped and stared at him.

It’s been a while since he saw him. At this moment, the Alpha is even more handsome in her eyes with his black shirt paired with his pants.

The way he stared at her made her feel the chill—freezing her, and she averted her gaze.

Alpha Drake frowned and roamed his eyes around the room, then gazed back at Emily.

“Look at me.”

Three words, yet it seems like Emily is burying his feet on the ground.

Frightened, she still locked her gaze on him.

His blue eyes seem like the ocean that can drown her to death. Emily found it gorgeous the first time. But this time, it’s even colder, just like him.

Locking her gaze into his, making her stand there like a statue. She was afraid to move.

She was afraid of getting punished.

The atmosphere is deafeningly quiet, making her hear the pounding of her heart. Shivers ran down her spine up to her head, making her scalp numb.

Emily never met a man who held the same aura as Alpha Drake. Even her father.

Alpha Drake stepped forward once again, and this time, Emily didn’t dare to step back. She waited for him until they were just a meter apart.

“Undress.”

His voice made Emily jolt in fear. She knew it was a command, and she needed to oblige. He is her master—even if Drake didn’t acknowledge her as his slave, she still was a tool required to fulfill her role. And it doesn’t differ from a slave.

She needs to do what the Alpha asks her to do. And who knows what will he do if she disobeys?

“Don’t make me repeat—”

“P-Please…” she mumbled as she met his gaze.

Even if his blue eyes shot cold gazes, she still managed to stare at them. She wants to show how she truly feels.

“Undress. Make me repeat it one more time, and I will be the—”

“I… I’ll do it,” she said; her voice was shaky and broken. She closed her eyes and started to pull down the strap of her dress slowly.

She breathes deeply to calm herself and let go of the fear that made her shake. The chills touch her bare shoulders, and at that moment, her dress falls down to the floor, creating a tiny soft sound.

She bowed her head as she opened her eyes. She saw her breast. Her firm nipples aroused as if they were startled by the presence of Drake in front of her.

The cold wind passes through the window, clouding the inside, and enveloping her with a chilly, eerie vibe.

At this moment, she felt ashamed and scared in front of the Alpha. Who knows what is he thinking at this moment? What if he decided to punish her, beat her until…?

‘Stop, overthinking, and face the Alpha,’ Leia talked.

Her eyes widened when she saw his feet move closer to her. She could hear the pounding of her heart. She couldn’t think straight at the moment. Fear lingers inside her. She wanted to scream out loud. She thought of begging, but she knew begging could only make her look weak even more, and the Alpha hates it.

“Look at me,” he said; his voice was cold yet seductive, making her heart tremble even more.

She slowly lifted her head to meet his eyes and when she saw her reflection in it, shyness veiled in her.

She was naked in front of him, and they were just inches apart. She could hear his calm breathing and could feel his dangerous aura.

“Do you know what will happen to those people who disobey me?”

She pressed her lips and didn’t talk. She just stares into his eyes.

He leaned forward, making her stunned and frozen in her place.

“I punish them,” he whispered, making her gasp when she felt his warm breath touches her skin.

“I…” she paused when she moved backward and met her gaze.

She saw how Drake scanned her from head to toe. She could feel the coldness in his eyes while they were piercing every part of her body.

She balled her fist as she muttered, “please,” and met his gaze. However, Drake tilted his head to the left, gesturing for her to climb on the bed.

Her lips parted as her breath became rough. She needs to do it, or else she will get punished.

‘You got this, Emily,’ Leia said.

She manages to walk backward amidst the shyness that she feels. It’s not because she’s naked but the fact that he will see her scars that are imperfectly drawn into her body.

She lowered her head as she sat on the comfy bed. She grasped the sheet as she pulled her feet together and lay down.

She closed her eyes as she waited for his presence so close to her. In a swift moment, she felt a soft bounce. Her heart thumped even faster, making her breathe rapidly.

She clutches the comforter beneath her as she felt him on top of her.

Are they really going to do it?

She knew what would happen when the Alpha got near her. She had thought about it for the past few days.

And here they are, yet she’s not prepared. She wanted to run, but she knew she couldn’t.

“Open your eyes.”

Subconsciously, she opened it and gasped in horror when she saw him shirtless. She could clearly see his broad shoulders and chiseled chest.

Panic lingers inside her. “A-Alpha…”

Hearing her voice, Drake gritted his teeth. He forcedly held her hands and pinned them above her head, making her gasp.

His hands went down to her left thigh, tracing his fingers on her side.

Emily could feel the intense sensation it gave and even feel his rage. His grip tightened, making her groan.

She gasped, and her eyes filled with fear when he suddenly landed his right palm above her left breast.

When he started to knead it, she closed her eyes and was brought back to the memories of where Cole touched her. She was scared and disgusted while her stepbrother felt her everywhere.

Emily’s tears stream down her cheeks until it touches her ears. She doesn’t want to think of the past again.

‘Emily! He’s not Cole!’

She heard her wolf voice inside her mind, but her tears overflowed, making Drake stop and let go of her.

“Fuck!” he cursed out loud, and at that moment, Emily knew that she had messed up. “Fuck it!”

When she heard the Alpha cursing in rage, Emily was afraid to open her eyes.

She doesn’t want to look at him. She failed. And worst… she angered him.

At the moment, she could only muster the vaguest sound. “I’m sorry,” she murmured and opened her eyes.

She met his gaze and saw his cold stare piercing at her. She can’t identify what emotions his eyes bring, but she knows Drake is in a rage.

“I… I’m sorry. I was just occupied. I promise I won’t do it again. Y-You can have me now—”

“Not with your fuck upstate,” he replied and grabbed his black shirt from the side table. “I want a strong heir. If you keep pushing yourself back to your past, you remain weak, and you’ll get killed,” he added and turned away.

Emily felt the depths of his words, making her chest tighten.

She thinks she just makes things worst. She felt Drake’s frustration.
