Chapter 42 - 41

Unlucky, that's how he had been described by the man who had chosen to literally turn his life upside down just out of spite and probably stupidity. As he sat on that chair surrounded by unknown people listening to them speak while his heart was drumming in between his ears was a whole new experience. Being calm was one of his characteristics but the moment that huge man entered the room he couldn't hide the fact he was terrified anymore.

He was clearly their Alpha, from the way the twins and Brandon acted to the man that stood behind him that had followed him in no one actually dared to look him in the eyes. After a while everyone else left leaving him and the scary man alone in the room.

"So what am I going to do with you?" He mumbled as he circled around him like a predator. John swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat and his eyes followed him, wary of his every move. "You should not exist." He said and the young man wanted to simply cry. Why would he be the one to decide if he was supposed to exist or not? He didn't want this, he definitely didn't want to wake up in an unknown room, tied up and beaten by some supernatural fifteen year olds while he just sat there useless with no way to defend himself. 

"I would appreciate it if you didn't decide about my existence." John said after a while. Yes, he was scared, yes he probably could die if that man simply touched him but still he couldn't just keep his words in. 

The Alpha stopped walking and stared at him intensively when a faint grin appeared on his face. Is this good? John questioned as he watched him walk away and open his bedroom door. He left, without saying another word he simply disappeared. 

The man released a relieved sigh as he heard the door close. He was at least alone, he thought. For how long he didn't know. His eyes traveled to the luxurious room. Gold and red everywhere, so much shine that it practically hurt his eyes. There was a window wall that showed perfectly clear all the skyscrapers and buildings. The outside, freedom was so close but he seemed to be restrained into a golden cage. Couldn't they have tied him on the bed at least instead of this uncomfortable chair? He asked himself. 

The unknown man wasn't gone for long and the little comfort John had found in his disappearance was gone the moment he heard footsteps coming towards the room from the corridor. This hotel was filled with bad memories. He could still smell his own blood, he could taste it in the rips of his mouth as they healed faster than those of humans. Whenever he approached werewolves, his own kind he always ended up tasting his own blood. Maybe that was why he didn't want to go with them, they all gave him a bad vibe. Except Philip. Philip for a weird reason didn't seem like the rest of them, he looked somehow detached from that beastly behavior. Maybe he wasn't like that when he was around his own, maybe that was the effect Kai had on him. Nonetheless he preferred people more like him. 

Thankfully, it was him that entered with the Alpha. It was Philip following close behind the scary man and their eyes met immediately. 

"Let's talk Philip" Mikain said and the wolf felt his muscles tense.

"Sir, what is this? Why is he…"

"Do you know him?" The Alpha asked the werewolf as he stood in front of a beaten up John. He did, he did know him but what could be the right answer so he could save him and himself? 

"What?" He asked, trying to play dumb and the man giggled.

"This man." Mikain pointed out and placed his palm on John's shoulder, putting pressure on the spot and making him hiss. "Do you know him? Because Brandon says you do. They brought in a vampire and him but you let them go."

"I did." Philip said. The brats had revealed everything. There was nothing he could do now than try and talk his way out of this.

"So you're blatantly admitting that you actually let a vampire go?" The alpha asked him, his tone getting louder. 

"I think that those brats did not tell you the whole story. This man right here was a human. There are rules. I couldn't kill the vampire in front of a human. Then Brandon with that bright mind of his turned him and he actually survived." Philip explained.

It was obvious that the wolf had not been told the same story. Mikain stood close to John, examining him with his eyes. 

"It could explain the fact that he is so weak. If he has been just turned. We will have to take him in." 

"What?" John exclaimed. "No, no thank you. I don't want to belong in your pack. I don't want to be a part of any pack. So the best thing for all of us would be to let me go since your pack member caused this and we can all move along." 

After he spoke a silence spread in the room. Philip had his eyes on him, wide and his expression of utter shock. Maybe he shouldn't have been so open about his opinion. 

"So you're saying you're going to be an omega? From my pack!" He shouted right into John's face, startling him. "Do you believe I will accept such disgrace?" 

John didn't know all of the rules yet. He barely knew what being an omega meant so right now the only thing he understood as he felt the rough rope scratch his wrists was that he had messed up and maybe next time he should keep his mouth closed.

"Sir, he doesn't know yet, he is new, maybe we can negotiate in some way so we can…"

"Silence Philip, I don't remember asking you to speak." Mikain said between gritted teeth. Philip closed his eyes, trying to restrain himself and John, well he was starting to sweat. 

"If my boss hears about this he will be very mad" John said, drawing Mikain's attention. Philip's eyes widened and he started to frantically shake his head in a negative motion but the young wolf couldn't see him. The Alpha's huge frame was hiding him and every move he made could count as suspicious.

"Your boss? And who is your boss?" He asked him.

"My boss is a vampire prince. He is very powerful so I would suggest you let me go before he gets mad" he said. The scary Alpha could not simply overlook this. He had powerful people behind him, maybe that would make him a bit more wary of him. That way he could at least ensure he would remain alive for now.

He didn't receive the reaction he was expecting though. John wanted Mikain to get scared, rethink things but he actually looked ecstatic. A huge smile spread on his face and without a second thought he turned towards Philip.

"This is amazing." Mikain exclaimed. "Do you know how much money we can make if we sell him? A pureblood prince! Philip, gather a group of people. We're going on a hunt." He said with a vicious smile.

"Sir!" Philip said.

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No, of course not, I just don't know why you would want to come along, you're the Alpha maybe it would be best if…"

"I have to make sure that you won't mess up." He said. "Gather up four people. I will be waiting." Mikain rushed outside, probably in search of his beta. Philip was left alone with John, their eyes finally meeting again and the man stared at him angrily.

"You messed up so fucking bad" Philip told John before he too left the room, slamming the door behind him. The young man was all alone, still tied and still a prisoner and actually he had just signed Kai's death sentence. 

Maybe he should keep his mouth shut after all.
