Chapter 11: ONE: The Day They Met
Veronica's POV
The sound of the drums were booming in my ears, it was vampires.. My pack was being attacked by vampires. Everyone from the festival was fleeing as fast and as far as they could, some in their wolf forms, some on foot. My stomach was churning from fear, but I wouldn't show it on my face. I couldn't. I was the Luna and I had to keep my front up as leader for my pack, well... when the Alpha wasn't here anyways. If I told you our how our relationship was really like, you wouldn't even think he was my mate. Hell, the guards don't even treat me with respect.
"Veronica, you need to be taken to the cells. That's the only place we can put you where you'll be safe." said, more so demanded one of the guards.
"Why not the pack house? There's more shelter there." 'And it's not as protected' I thought to myself. I'll be damned if he thinks I'm not going to go and fight for my pack.
"....The Alpha will have my head if he finds out I let you go to the pack house. You know that's not going to happen" the guard responded as he grabbed out the chains and motioned for me to turn around. Ever since I nearly escaped the pack boundaries a couple months ago, the guards have had to chain me so they have "more control" over me. Rather harsh and sadistic on behalf of the Alpha if you ask me.
"Oh come on!" I begged, as the second guard came over to assist the one I was already talking to.
"You know I can fight, and I never get to do things to help the pack!" I begged again as the chains snapped around my wrists.
"Sorry mouse, Alphas orders." he said before bending down to my height, grabbing my face bringing it close to his.
"And besides," he paused to look up at the other man holding me up.
"I have a feeling we're gonna get a nice bonus by the end of the week." he sneered with a devious smirk on his lips, god these guys are creeps.

The cell opened up as one of the men shoved me inside then walked in with me, then the other guard smirked while locking the metal bars shut, and walked out the main entrance.
"You know, I could play with you right now, and Alpha Xander would never find out." He said as he proceeded to step towards me till my back was against the wall.
"I could easily get away with it and say you came onto me as well, then you'd get played with by him out of anger." he proceeded as he reached down to my face, lightly stroking it before moving his hands to my neck, forcing me on my knees.
"Please don't do thi-" I was cut off by a harsh slap across the face that knocked me off my balance.
"Only talk... When I ask you to." growled the guard through gritted teeth. I knew this routine... So I gathered up my courage and moved back up on my knees, keeping my head down. I know my place... I may be the Luna, but that's just what everyone sees outside of the pack houses walls. You know what they say, "Everything's different behind closed doors." and that's just what my story is.
"Good little mouse..." he said while stranding his fingers through my hair with hand, and taking off his belt with the other, using it to tie around my neck and putting one of the holes in the belt on a hook in the cell that was already holding up chains. It was then that we both looked up after hearing a scream at the entrance of the cell.
"Shit... It's Abel Callahan.." mumbled the guard, fear occupying every inch of his face.
"Who?" I asked dumbfounded which caused the man to look at me like I was some lowly idiot.
"He's like the Alpha, but only for vampires you worthless excuse of a Luna." He responded while looking down at me with a look I'd never been given before. It made me want to cry and punch him in the face. There's was so much disgust in his eyes, I was afraid he actually was gonna do something to me. The sound of cells swinging open, one after another had distracted him as piercing cries and some screams from other prisoners rang out, and it was then that three male vampires slowly stepped before the cell I shared with a dim-witted, and perverted guard.
"Well, I suppose we did indeed save the best for last." said one of the vampires while eyeing me down and he then looked at the guard noting his appearance.
"Unlock te cell. You obviously aren't meant to be here." Said the man in the middle, and my god I couldn't take my eyes off him, then he turned his gaze to me as well and froze on the spot, desire filling his eyes as he breathed in deeply, not leaving my eyes. Then the man I was originally stuck here with grabbed my hair and shoved my head down.
"Ah, my apologies Abel, she doesn't know her place at times..." Said the man, fear entering and exiting his voice every other word. Then I felt someone else's presence and almost at the exact same time, me and the guard both called out..
"Alpha Xander...."
