Desire for you- ALPHA RYAN Book 1
Chapter 2

CATHERINE

I heard the screams of a guard and immediately became alert. From the sound of it, there was a fight between a guard and a wolf. I walked closer to my cell, but could not see anything.

I finally heard the guard go quiet now. Was he dead? I swallowed hard and hardly dared to speak. "H-Help," I said softly, and I heard the footsteps to my cell getting louder and louder.

"Please help me ... I'm going to die if Arnor keeps torturing me in this cell..." I said to the man standing in front of me. I had been badly beaten up and was struggling to stay conscious. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"We need to get out of here quickly, if you lose me, rest assured I won't come looking for you." the man said and opened the cell. Thank moon goddess, my prayers were finally answered! I just nodded and finally ran after him.

On our way out, we were surrounded by several guards. I looked at the man, who was now a pitch black giant wolf. He must have been an alpha. He was fighting for his freedom and trying to take down every guard.

'Rose, we have to help him, we just have to hold on a little longer and we'll get out of here...' I said to my she-wolf, who was restlessly pacing back and forth in my mind and finally decided to continue helping me. I changed to my wolf form and I spotted a guard biting the man's shoulder. Immediately I lunged at the guard and bit him in the stomach. I bored my teeth so deep and tore at him that he screamed in pain and eventually fell to the ground. My whole muzzle was covered with blood.

After all the guards were on the ground, the black wolf rushed out into the open, followed by me.

I ran for my life, but felt my wolf getting weaker and weaker. 'Catharina I can't go on...' she said softly to me and lost consciousness.

I tried to keep the wolf form with all the strength I had left, but my vision became dimmer and dimmer and I fell to the ground and was human again.

I was woken up by beeping noises. I could barely get my eyes open. My every muscle ached, all the way to my marrow. "Mhmm water...", I whispered softly. My lips were dry and my throat felt like a desert, dry.

I managed to open my eyes and a bright room greeted me. I kept my gaze fixed on the ceiling for a moment and then dared to turn my head.

Okay. This was reality now. We had actually managed to escape. He saved me from Arnor's hellhole ... I guess he really was my savior in distress. Only I wondered where he was and how he was doing? Meanwhile, if he really was an alpha, then we had to be with his pack.

"Ah you're finally awake!" chirped a female voice, coming toward me. I glanced at the nurse and nodded slightly. "W-where am I?", I asked quietly.

"You're in the Black Moon pack, the alpha saved you. You were unconscious when he brought you here." she said, doing something on the running IVs. Black Moon Pack. God that was a lot farther from my pack the Crescent pack.

"Cuckoo are you still there?" The nurse waved her hand back and forth in front of me. I startled, not really seeing her coming, and nodded quickly. "Y-yes, sorry, I was lost in my thoughts..." I said quietly and lowered my head. The days in my captivity had made me not talk to anyone, I wasn't even allowed to look at the wolves in Arnor's pack. Each glance cost me twenty lashes. I quickly learned to be docile and do as I was told.

The nurse looked at me confused "You don't have to worry, you are safe here. What's your name anyway?" she asked me, sitting down by the bed.

"My name is Catherine...", I mumbled to myself and grabbed my fingernails. Whenever I was nervous, I played with my hair or hands.

"And where are you from Catherine?" she asked again. As if she wanted to squeeze everything out of me.

I swallowed and shook my head "I-I.... I..." i had to swallow again and i realized how a panic came over me. I was literally pack loose, now a rogue. Tears welled up in my eyes. "H-Hey I didn't mean to upset you.... My name is Cynthia, I'm the pack's nurse, I'll be taking care of you for the next few days and you really have nothing to be afraid of." she said and grabbed my hand. Jerking, I pulled my hand back and swallowed. I wiped the tears from my eyes and bit my lower lip.

"I'll bring you some food for the first time, you look all haggard," Cynthia said. Wow, that didn't really make it any better. Cynthia had a funny way of expressing her sympathy. I just nodded. Finally, Cynthia walked out of the room and I turned on my side with my back to the door. Cynthia was probably my age I guessed her to be 27, had brown hair and brown eyes and a beautiful face, she looked very well groomed and seemed competent in what she was doing. I on the other hand looked like a fugitive.

At my thought, I finally paused and looked at my hands. They were clean. I touched my pitch black hair. They were shiny and clean as well. Had Cynthia washed me? The thought of someone washing me made me very uncomfortable. She must have probably seen all my scars that had been inflicted on me, hence probably her curiosity....

I felt Rose humming in the back of my head 'Did we make it?" she asked me in a low voice. 'Yes-we finally made it.' I replied and had to smile. We had made it out of this agony. But what would be waiting for us now? Cynthia said we were safe now, but was that really true? I had a bad feeling about it.

Rose felt that 'It will hardly be worse than with Arnor...'. Especially since the wolf helped us, I don't think we're in any danger' she murmured softly, trying to cheer me up. I had to sigh and closed my eyes. Not a few minutes later, Cynthia already came rushing back inside. "There's food, come sit up, you need it badly!" she made me sit up and I didn't contradict her. I was really hungry and was already rushing at it. I felt like a savage who had never seen food.

I was glad Cynthia didn't say anything about it and went back out of the room.

CYNTHIA

Wow, that was a number. I had never seen anyone so scared and a huge hunger she had too. I made my way to the office to put my things away when I ran into Tristan. "Any news about the girl?" he asked me. I nodded "Yeah, she's awake now. Pretty traumatized if you ask me, she can't even clearly say which pack she's from, she burst right into tears." I said shrugging my shoulders.

He raised his eyebrows and looked around lost in thought "Do you at least have a name?" he asked, "Yes, her name is Catherine." I said again and sat down in front of my computer.

"Well then, I think it would be good if you told the Alpha." he finally said "I still have to take care of pack business today, the Alpha will be resting today." he was already making his way towards the exit "See you Tristan," I called out to him, "Ciao Cynthia!" and he was gone.

I rolled my eyes and was now allowed to report to the Alpha. I stood up and walked to his room. I knocked on the door and finally went in. The sight of him made every woman drool. I had a lot of fun taking care of him. His muscular body, his hair, his face, just, everything about him was perfect. He looked up at me "What's up?" he asked impatiently. Fucking macho, I thought to myself. "The she-wolf, Catherine's awake..." was all I said "So?" he asked me, frowning "Well.... there's not much to say Alpha, she's pretty traumatized and can't even tell me where she came from. She went straight into a panic attack." I said, crossing my arms "What do you want me to do with her?" I asked him, waiting for direction.

He thought for a moment "Take her to the pack house as soon as her condition allows and make sure she has a room near mine. I'll make her talk yet." he shrugged as if it was nothing. "As you wish, she'll just be hard to crack.... Especially since she's eating like a savage right now." I said with a shrug. I glanced at him and I noticed his eyes turn black, his wolf coming out. "Insult my mate again and we'll see who's the savage." he hissed at me. I was amazed and speechless. Our alpha had found a mate?

I noticed Ryan fighting his wolf for his sanity and when his eyes were brown again, he looked at me "Forget what my wolf said." Better said shut up and don't say anything to anyone. I just nodded "Already done." I said and headed towards the door to make a run for it.

So she was our potential Luna? My wolf did somersaults. Finally, a Luna who would raise this naughty, spoiled alpha. YES! My wolf and I rejoiced and I headed to the pack house to make all the preparations for Catharina. I fetched our servants and gave them instructions that everything in the room had to be right from A to Z. Even even suitable clothing I had, provided for them.

At the underwear selection I had to grin. 'Sexy' purred my she-wolf Lea and almost made me laugh.

When everything was ready, I smiled contentedly. Now Catherine could move in here.
