The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

Xavier’s pov

That little vixen! She thinks she can fool me? The Alpha of one of the strongest packs in the world!

I have checked everywhere.

There was no intruder.

She was lying to me.

.

Walking into my office, I settle down on my seat to only find hurried footsteps following me.

“Your highness! The woman is innocent! You are being irrational! She just got out of danger, the dark room is too much for her!”

“The doctor said her heart is too weak-”

I scoff.

First my brother and now him.

That bitch really has a way of gaining sympathy of men around her.

Sadly, I am not like others.

I can see past her veils clearly.

“She will not die, if you are worried about that.

A few rat bites are not going to cause much harm.

”

“But-”

My receiver rings and I show him my hand.

Picking up the call, I

answer.

“Yes? Alpha Xavier from Blood Moon pack.

”

“Alpha Xavier.

Elder Edmund this side.

”

My mind freezes.

Elder? I look up at Ron and put on the speaker.

He looks at me in confusion.

“Good evening Elder.

How can I help you?”

Ron’s face turns ashen.

Elders never call unless it’s an emergency.

And somehow in my heart I knew what it was.

The bitches plan got successful.

The council got a whiff of the incident.

“We have information that Mrs Sierra tried to take her life.

Do you conform with this Alpha Xavier?”

18:17

I clench my fists.

My voice comes out firm as I lie bluntly.

“I am afraid last I checked I left my loving wife peacefully asleep on the bed.

The information is wrong.

”

The line went silent.

And Ron gulps.

Looking afraid.

“Are you sure-

“This is ridiculous elder.

How can you believe such rumours? I am aware of the terms of the barter, only a fool will break it.

”

The line went silent and then the elder sighs.

“Indeed.

You are wise man Alpha Xavier.

I believe you but we elders need to verify once.

We will be visiting tomorrow to confirm from Mrs Sierra herself.

”

“Anytime elders.

”

“Good night Alpha.

”

I hang up the call to light up a cigarette and lean back on the chair.

Ron shakes his head in a no, unable to believe this.

“How did council came to know of it!”

III

“David told them.

Both father daughter planned this.

Isn’t it clear now? Now do you believe me?”

“But Mrs Sierra looks so innocent.

Why will she-”

“Looks are deceptive Ron, often the most innocent faces hide the most evil motives.

She is no different than the bastard of her father.

”

“Heartless and cowardly.

”

He drops his head to not say anything and I take a whiff to close my eyes.

“But don’t worry, very soon I will have that David at my feet.

Begging me.

How many have joined the western front?”

“5 out of 12 packs Sir.

”

“Just one more and Silvermoon will be going down.

Willingly or unwillingly.

I will become the next Alpha King and the first pack I will wipe out from the very map I make will be Silvermoon.

”

It was around midnight when I finished my work and remembered to take out my doll from her new doll house.

Walking to the dark room, I push open the door, to be welcomed by silence.

Well, isn’t this a surprise.

I thought I will get to hear her lovely screams.

I switch on the lights and the scene that welcomed me filled me with disappointment.

Isn’t she too weak to be an Alpha’s daughter? She fainted from this only.

She was still tied to the metal bed.

The little jerries were all over her body, feeding onto her skin like their favourite snack.

With the lack of teeth, their bites only leave faint bruises on her skin.

One has sneaked into her top to munch on her blossoms and a strange feeling hits my insides.

Before I know my hand forwards.

to grab that little bastard.

Picking it up from its tail, I see it struggling upside down.

“Crossing our limits, now are we?”

It chirps in reply and I silence it forever.

Crushing it in my hands

to toss it aside.

My eyes darken at the bruise visible on her cleavage and I curse to turn my back on her.

What’s wrong with me?

Why do I get distracted so easily.

Sighing, I walk to the switchboard and press a button.

A screeching sound reverberates in the room and all the mice.

hurry out into the hole they came from.

This room is specifically made for torture and this was nothing compared to what all had been executed here.

I got the little monsters teeth specifically removed or the last person who laid here and suffered this? Died of mice bite poisoning.

The room empties and I approach her.

Tugging on the restrains, I free her unconscious body.

Dried tears trailed down her closed eyes and my thumb instinctively swiped over it.

“It seems I went too far this time, doll.

”

I whisper to myself and I see her lips opening and closing.

She was whispering something.

“Please….

No… come back….

Please!”

She was terrified out of her wits, good.

Smirking I place my one arm under her knee and the other under her back.

Pulling her to my chest, I freeze when she suddenly latched onto me.

Her

arms wrap around me like a terrified kid clings to his mother on a thunder clap.

“They… are everywhere… take me away… please….

”

I suddenly freeze.

My grip on her loosens as I feel her hot breath hitting my neck.

She was still in a half conscious state.

Her trembling lips caress my neck.

And I am hit by a scent of cinnamon and vanilla.

“Please…I am scared…”

That scent!

Fuc*.

It’s….

.

different.

This was the first time I was sniffing her scent.

And I won’t lie.

It wasn’t bad.

Rather…

I find myself leaning into to sniff those tussles of brown again while she continued to cling on me like a koala.

“Please… please…”

“Shhhh”

I whisper surprising myself and before I realised my palms were caressing her hair.

They weren’t as rough as they looked.

Rather they had a soothing tinge.

The earlier desire to tug on them to teach her a lesson got replaced by a protective urge to just caress them and enjoy the feeling of those silk strands slipping past my fingers.

Her thudding heart calms down.

“Shhh it’s fine.

You are good.

”

“Save….

Save me from him….

Please….

please Dom.

”

My hand caressing her hair stops.

Did she say Dom? So she thinks Dom is here to save her?

What a rude awakening.

She still thinks my brother will go against me to save her

pathetic ass?

I pull back and pick up a jar of freezing water to empty it on her head.

She gasps awake, shuddering.

Those innocent eyes lock with mine and I crack my neck to whisper.

“So, how many stars for your experience?”

Looking down at her entire body covered in bruises, I seethe.

“Did you like your new company?”

“You bastard!”

Her eyes flare red.

Those flimsy hands grip my shirt collar and I scoff to only turn the tables.

Pushing her back on the bed, I pin her under me to lean in.

Her weak body was too vulnerable to even move right now.

“I have had enough of your tantrums doll.

Now you will listen and I will speak.

”

“Or I won’t mind releasing the mice with teeth next time.

Or perhaps, spiders.

Do you want that?”

Fear enters her eyes and she moves her head to a side.

It’s a yes I guess.

“The council members are coming tonight and you are going to do exactly as I say.

”

Her eyes widen.

What an actor.

“Don’t give me that look doll.

I know you told them about your little suicidal attempt.

”

“I didn’t.

.

I swear.

”

“Enough.

No talking.

Just listen and do as I say like my perfect little doll you are.

Clear?”

The fire was there in her eyes, but she doesn’t argue.

A meek nod and I pull back.

Perfect.

The stage was all ready.

All that’s needed is execution tomorrow.

She is going to be my little puppet and I am going to pull all the strings needed to make her dance at my tunes.
