Alpha Xander: His Contracted Luna

***AT THE MANOR***

The room was heated. Faye was in her sleeves and skin-tight leather pants. She pranced around Xander who was looking out the window. He patiently waited for her from having her bah to getting dressed. She put her arms around him.

“Don’t push it,” He grimaced. “Take me to Catherine. That was the deal, Faye.”

“Come on now. We are going,” She glided her palms down his shoulders.

She backed up slowly. Xander would set off any moment.

She went to add finishing touches to her face by the dresser. Xander pivoted and went out the door.

“I will be out in a minute,” she said right before he stepped out.

He left the door open.

“You might as well let everyone in,” she scoffed applying her eyeliner.

One of the maids passed by her door.

“Get in here you,” Faye called her.

The maid was frantic standing before the Luna. Faye put her makeup kit in her drawer. She carefully made steps over the shards on her carpet.

She inched forward to the maid. The poor girl stared down her feet holding the edges of her skirt.

“What’s your name girl with two buns for hair,” Faye raised the girl’s chin up.

“Marianne,” she said softly. Her blue eyes opened up at Faye.

“I mustn’t meet the room the way I left it,” Faye let her go.

“Yes Luna,” Marianne nodded.

Faye turned to the door. The maid quivered at the slam of the door.

Xander had given Manny and Joni a dismissive wave. He wanted them to have no part in this.

They retreated back inside. They turned back to glance at Xander a few times if he just might call them back.

Xander rested his head on the driver’s seat glaring with brooding intensity. Faye came out of the Manor. Jamal came to her side.

“I didn’t know you were heading out,” he brushed his hand on the fountain.

“I don’t remember answering to you,” Faye straightened with a glance. “Stay back. If you don’t hear from me. You know where to find me.”

Jamal nodded and waited at the fountain. He watched her get into the car.

Xander fixed a bold at Faye. She looked away to the fields as she sat next to him. He turned back to the wheel and started the engine.

***ON THE ROAD***

Xander was headed a few clicks north of the black water lake. He set a gaze on the road. He didn’t look to the side once. Faye pointed the directions through the windshield.

“If it turns out you are stalling… I am gonna kill you,” Xander grunted and stepped on the gas.

The car sped up on the road. Faye jolted to the dashboard. She protected her face with her arms. She raised her head up and locked in her seatbelt.

“You are trying to kill me already,” she whipped her hair to the side.

“Your death will be painful,” he glanced at her.

“Gosh the pain,” she covered her mouth in pretense. “Can’t wait to meet the shapeless void of my doom,” she snickered.

Xander swerved to the right. Ahead was a shady barn house. Deserted and left with old farm tools and equipment littered around the pallid fields.

He parked at the crooked blank signpost.

“Shall we?” Faye tried pushing down the lock. “It’s not like I’m not gonna run off into the woods or something,” she scrunched up her face.

“Let’s hope not,” Xander unlocked the doors.

They came and walked together from the front of the car. Xander held her arm tightly.

“You don’t want to die out here in this filth, do you?” his eyes went round the exterior of the barn house.

He walked steadily uphill dragging her by her arm. She was slacking off so he pulled her close again in case she got any ideas.

“I propose we go around back,” Faye itched her hair. “This front is stuff and dirty and together.”

“There,” his eyes flashed to an open shed.

Xander pushed Faye inside first. The barn house was stacked with mostly hay. A small room with dull light was down at the left end.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Down there right?” he pushed her forward.

“Now that your precious human is no longer lost but found,” Faye stomped her feet and turned to Xander. “I guess I am done here.”

“I say you are done when we are done,” he growled.

They walked further and entered into the small compartment. The space was cleared out and empty. There were restraints on the wall but Catherine wasn’t there.

“Faye?” Xander’s eyes widened with murderous intent.

“Xander… I know what it looks like but-”

He bashed her head against the wall. She struggled to break free but he held a claw down on her back.

“You fucking liar!” his claws penetrated on the surface of her back.

“It was never the plan,” she winced. “Xander believe me. I never intended for this to happen,” she panted.

“Too late for you,” he breathed on her neck.

Faye closed her eyes and inhaled sharply to meet her end as the Alpha promised. She opened her eyes to sight a leaf rustle in from the open steel door and resting on a piece of a brown piece of cloth in a corner.

“Look-look there… over there,” she jerked her head in the direction.

Xander lowered his head to look down at the lying withered fabric.

“Do you take me for a fool?” he pressed his claws deep into her back. “Or was that a failed attempt to stall?”

Faye sucked her teeth in pain.

“Here’s the deal…” she squealed. “I broke a deal with this old lady. She… she had plans for Catherine. I lured you out here because this was where we last met. I brought Catherine here I swear.”

She wailed in agony when he scratched down on her.

“If you are lying-”

“I am not!” she hollered.

He withdrew his claws from her back and turned her to face him. He pinned his grip on her neck, hitting her head again on the wall.

“Tell me more about this old lady,” he grimaced.

She pointed at his hand to release her from the chokehold. He let go and she fell to her knees coughing.

“She came from an abandoned house not too far from here,” she breathed heavily. “I can take you. Please promise not to kill me,” she pleaded.

Xander looked down at her with utter disdain in his eyes.

***

The dark clouds were over the raunchy abandoned house. The rain started in the depressing weather. Xander kicked down the door and stormed in.

He found Catherine tied up and gagged. He tore through the ropes with his claws, barely leaving a scratch on Catherine’s smooth skin. The old woman with dark eyes comes from the inner room.

Faye came in from behind her. The old lady fidgeted. Faye struck her down with a fist.

Catherine cried in Xander’s embrace.
