Sold To The Ruthless Alpha

Damien’s POV

Six days…

That’s how long Stacy has been gone. The nerves of that crazy girl. She hasn’t called anyone since she left here, not even her mom who has been worried sick about her. She never considered her mom’s feelings.

She is just a desperate wench and I’ve got the perfect punishment for her when she comes back home. She had shown me utter disrespect, trampling on my authority as Alpha. She had known that my aura would suppress her into submission, that is why she ran off before I found her. She has no idea what I have planned for her, I’m just waiting patiently for her return.

Two days ago, my boys had spotted my mortal enemy, Alfredo Black, coming out of a hospital building. They were doing their usual routine check as they searched for Stacy, but they had no luck in finding her hideout, instead, they found Alfredo Black and Ralph gave the order for them to stalk him and they followed him in, trailing him at a safe distance.

I guess he spotted them at some point because he turned around and stormed out of the hospital building in a furious state. Just before he got out into his car, he stuck out his middle finger in the direction of my boys, letting them know that he is aware of their presence as they stalked him. When they reported these things to me, I instructed them to stick around and wait a while, he may turn around and come back to finish whatever business he had here.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

They waited a few hours, but he never showed up again, and we never got his location because he has his way of evading prying eyes. The guys were about to give up and head home, but the moon goddess had other plans for us, and we had a lucky break in our search for Stacy. She was spotted coming out of the same hospital that Alfredo Black just visited. She was picked up by the entrance to the hospital building by a grey Ford Mustang, we tried to trail them but, somehow, we lost them in traffic and they got away.

It’s obvious that she is having help, that is why she has been able to evade us all these days, that is why she had been able to elude my boy in the traffic. From the picture they had sent to me, I could tell that she was depleted when she left the hospital, it seems like she had been there all day long and it actually got me thinking so hard,

What is the really up to?

Who is she getting help from, I mean, Alfredo’s presence in that hospital is not just a coincidence. I know him pretty much, he never does anything without a reason. He is so smart and over calculating, and it’s giving me concern because his presence in that hospital where Sofia is cannot be called a coincidence, it was premeditated and It sickens me to know that I am oblivious to what is going around me, it’s making me so furious.

When we lost her in traffic, I sent Justin to the hospital to find out why she had been to the hospital, then I asked Ralph to cross-check Stacy’s movement for the past few months, with the info we have on Alfredo’s locations. I want to know if she had ever been spotted in the same location as Alfredo Black. If she has any sort of connection with him, I want to know everything about that bitch. She is planning something and I can’t wait to find out what it is.

While they were away, I had a long talk with my father, trying to convince him to convince the elders to let me perform Sofia’s Luna ceremony before she gets gifted with her wolf, but he just wouldn’t budge. He said it would be an insult to our traditions if we crown an ordinary human as the Luna. We have to wait until she fully transforms. I had tried so hard but he just wouldn’t listen to me, he is such a traditional man.

After hours of explaining and pleading, dad still refused to agree to my request, so I decided to just hold a formal welcome party for Sofia, I would only present her to the people and pronounce her as the future Luna. The pack would know that she now knows our secret and she has accepted to be our Luna, but she would not be crowned yet because she has not gotten her wolf and she cannot be able to connect anyone through our mind link, nor could she order anyone to do her bidding because her aura could not reflect without her wolf.

It was settled then. We are having a formal welcome party and the people would be able to speak freely in her presence because she now knows everything about us. Stacy would be shocked at the news she will be welcomed with, I just don’t know why she isn’t back yet, by she should be able to tell if she is pregnant or not, why hasn’t she used her trump card already? Could she be planning something bigger?

For two days mom and the girls have been so busy planning for this day. I’ve told them countless times that it’s not such a big deal, but they just won’t listen, it was like planning a wedding and it was so intense. I had to sneak off with the guys as we headed to the office to continue our investigations. I could see the pleading look in Sofia’s eyes as I left her with mom and the girls, it was so funny to see her pleading for rescue. She felt suffocated and I understand why, they were all over her with many questions and different tasks.

The girls were in charge of her costumes and that includes her clothes, makeup, and shoes. I wasn’t surprised when they volunteered to assist with her outfit and makeover, shopping is practically their life, I think they may fall sick if they aren’t allowed to go shopping for a week. They are just so addicted to shopping, I think it’s safe to say that they are shopaholics.

Mom handled the decorations and other details that has to be taken care of. She had been a Luna for over a decade so she certainly knows her way around all these parties, besides, she has been itching to plan a wedding for her kids but it seems this is the closest she would ever come to planning a party for us because, for some insane reason, none of us are ready to tie the knot just yet. She had invited over a hundred caterers a d party planners to choose from. While the designers were setting up the banquet hall, the caterers were putting together their best meals, trying to get mom to choose them for the occasion.

Although the greater part of the party is being handled by mom, Sofia still had to participate in every decision making because it is her welcome party after all. She is definitely going to have my head for abandoning her, but I know how to make it up to her, besides, it’s we are going to have so much fun at the party and she would not even remember all the pain and stress she passed through while preparing for it, besides, I’m still planning on heading home early so I can sneak her out of mom’s prying eyes and let her hide out in my room for the rest of the dad.

Ralph could not find any link between Stacy and Black, but I still can’t shake off that nagging feeling that Black is up to something. He has been unusually quiet since our last encounter, it’s like the calm before a storm. I think he is bidding his time, planning a strategic attack on me. I don’t want to believe that Stacy would go that far, but I would not let her off easily if she sells us all out, I’ll fucking kill her with my bare hands.

Justin was able to get her medical report from the hospital. It was confirmed that she had booked an appointment a few days ago for an artificial insemination. But for some unknown reason, she had changed her mind and left the hospital that day without achieving her purpose. I don’t know what she is trying to achieve by all this back and forth, but I’m going to make sure she regrets everything she has done, I’ll make her wish she was never born with a wolf.

Black is messing with my head, he is trying to distract me from his agendas. My hunch is telling me that he has someone on the inside that is selling me out, I had thought it was one of my boys but Justin has cleared every one of them and we still haven’t found the mole. We haven’t gotten any of those threatening emails since we started investigating about it, it would seem like the culprit is watching us closely, like he knows every step we take. I am Damien Ashton. I cannot be looking over my shoulders for any reason whatsoever. Someone is trying to get me rattled up, but I’ll teach them not to mess with me, you just wait and see.

After going over the reports over and over again, I discovered that we have been going around in circles all this while. All we have are numerous questions with no answers, not even one answer. I think we are being pushed in a particular direction. All our investigations lead us back to that very day that I pick Sofia up from her house. If we want to get answers, we have to talk to everyone involved and that includes Sofia and her family. I guess I’ll need to have a long talk with her father. He could be behind it all. He has had a grudge against me for a while now, he could be trying to get back at me and if he decided to join forces with Alfredo Black, it would be at his own peril because I would stop at nothing to defeat them.

We were rounding up for the day and getting ready to head back home when I got a call from the head guard on duty telling me that my presence is needed at the packhouse immediately because Stacy just showed up at the gate.

“What the fuck are you talking about? How did she come back, who dropped her off, where had she been all this while?” I asked him continuously, but he couldn’t give me any answers. I guess he hasn’t questioned her yet. If I need answers to these questions, I’ll have to ask Stacy herself. They must be waiting for me to get there before they ask her anything, that’s because her father is a member of the council, as such she is to be treated fairly.

“Keep her locked somewhere private but don’t take her to the dungeon. No one must know about her arrival, I want to break the news myself, so don’t let anyone see her until I arrived.” I instructed him before ending the call. The guys had listened to my conversation, at least they heard my part of it and they are looking at me curiously, waiting for answers.

“She is back guys, Stacy is in the packhouse as we speak.” I told them.

“She came back on her own and she choose today of all days to show up, is she planning to ruin Sofia’s party?” Ralph asked angrily, getting even more upset than I am.

“So she finally decided to grace us with her presence after six days? That’s unacceptable man!” Justin said in an equally angry tone, hitting his hand hard on the table.

I smirked as I watched them display their anger in my presence. I know that a part of them still blames me for all this, after all, Stacy would never be so bold if I hadn’t fucked her in the first place, so technically, it’s all my fault. Ralph is right though, she chose to come back today just so she could ruin this day for Sofia and I. And this also raises another question, no, not another question, it’s the same question that has been plaguing me since I got those pictures of Sofia and I in the mall,

“Who is the mole in my camp?”

I’ve got a mole and he/she is sharing sensitive information with my enemies. Stacy had not been in the pack for six days but somehow, she knows that Sofia’s formal welcoming party is today, so she decided to come crash our party. I need to find that mole as soon as possible because my family and the whole pack are not safe until we flush out the traitors. In the meantime, I have to head back home and welcome Stacy personally, she had played her game smartly, but it’s time to show her who’s boss.

Fuck the laws, screw her parents and their status, today, I’m going to teach her a lesson.
