The Alpha's Domination (15 page)

“I can feel you, Daniel.”

“And I can feel you. We’ll deal with everything else
in the morning. For now, I just want to hold and love you.”

She kept her head on his chest staring at the forest
floor. The smells and sounds comforted her. Time passed, and throughout it all,
Daniel held her. They didn’t speak as words were not necessary. Slowly, she
felt her eyes begin to droop as sleep started to claim her.

The next thing Dawn knew it was light, and she opened
her eyes to find a rabbit staring at her. She smiled at seeing the cute forest
animal.

“I remember a time when rabbits would run away scared
of me,” Daniel said. His voice vibrated through her body.

“He’s a cutie pie.”

“If he doesn’t move he’s going to end up in a pie.”

She jerked up and slapped at his chest. “Don’t be
rude.” The action finally alarmed the rabbit, and he took off.

Smiling, Dawn looked down at her mate. Blood covered
some of his chest from her bite. She’d not been the best marker. Glancing at
the front of her body, she frowned. “
Ew
, I look like
I’ve been a round with a vampire and lost.” She looked a mess and hated to
think what she looked like in the mirror. There were small bruises on her hips
that hadn’t disappeared.

“Our mating marks will last longer. The bite on your
neck will remain permanently. The bruises will fade in a few hours.”

“I don’t care how long they last. I love having your
mark on my body.” Throughout the night his cock had slipped free of her pussy,
but he was newly rock hard. “I think we can start the morning off well,” she
said, rubbing his nose with her own.

“I wouldn’t,” another man said, coming from the left.
She frowned, trying to place his voice as she didn’t recognize it.

“What is it, Jake?” Daniel asked, pulling her down to
him.

“The pack is waiting to meet your mate. They’re all at
the house. Also, her cell phone has been going off throughout the night.”

Her cell phone was tossed close to her on the forest
floor.

She glanced at it, and it started to buzz. Picking the
phone up, she flicked it open to see “Daddy calling” on the screen.

“I better answer this.” She sat on his waist and
accepted the call.

“I don’t care what you say, Francie, I’m talking to
her,” her father said, talking to her mom.

“Hey, Dad,” she said, staring into Daniel’s eyes. He
helped to ease her troubled thoughts.

“Honey, what the hell is going on? I can’t feel you
anymore. I don’t understand what’s going on?”

She tucked some hair behind her ear as Daniel took
hold of her hand, stopping her.

“I’ve, erm, I’ve found my mate.” She smiled down at
Daniel, loving the fact she was mated. “His name is Daniel, and he’s the man
I’ve been staying with.”

“What? You didn’t tell me you were seeing anyone. Who
is this Daniel?”

“He’s probably some weakling, Don. Let her go.” Her
mother spoke up trying to be heard.

“Shut up.” Her father growled at her mother. Dawn
winced knowing her mother would find some excuse to blame her. “Dawn, what’s
going on?”

“Daniel’s an alpha, Dad. We’re mated, and we completed
the mating last night. He really wants to meet you.” She kept her palm over
Daniel’s heart, feeling it beat.

“He’s an alpha?” her father asked.

She noticed her mother went silent.

“Yeah, he’s perfect, and I love him.”

Daniel took the phone from her. “This is Daniel. It’s
a pleasure to finally hear from you, Mr. Weldon. I’ve got some issues I want to
talk to you about.”

“Be careful how you talk to me, boy.”

She listened as her father growled back at Daniel. It
was strange hearing her father annoyed or arguing with another alpha. She was
rarely around for his anger.

“We’re going to meet. Dawn and I are coming to your
pack this afternoon, and we’re going to deal with shit I’m not happy about.”
Daniel pressed a finger to her lips to stop her from arguing with him. “Good,
I’ll see you there.”

“Why did you do that? Daddy doesn’t need to know
what’s going on.”

“As far as I’m concerned, he needs to know. What if
she’s hurting other members of the pack? She kept you quiet, and you’re the
only daughter to the alpha. You don’t know what she’ll do next.” He cupped her
cheek then kissed her lips. “Come on, we’ve got to get out of here.”

“I brought you some clothes. You both look like you
stepped out of a horror movie.” Clothes landed on the floor beside them. Jake
sounded close by.

“You better keep your eyes to yourself,” Daniel said,
shouting toward his left.

“Don’t worry. Your mate’s dignity is still intact.”
Jake moved away from them.

Daniel helped her to her feet. She took his hands,
going on her toes to kiss him.

“You’re turning into a softie, baby. I don’t even
recognize my little submissive.”

“She’s still here, but she might not like a lot of
pain.” She couldn’t help but smile at her statement.

The weight of the world had been lifted off her
shoulders all because of Daniel.

“I love you,” he said. “I’ll take you any way I can
get you, and if that means I can only spank you three times instead of four
then that’s what I’ll do.” He cupped the back of her neck and tugged her close.

She loved his possessive display and the way he held
her.

“Alpha, we’re all waiting,” Jake said.

Daniel pressed his head against hers. “We’re going to
have to go.”

“Yeah and we can’t even enjoy our time together seeing
as you organized a meeting with my dad.” She shook her head, pulling out of his
arms to grab a shirt.

Dawn put the clothes over her body hating the feel of
the clothes. It had been days since she last wore any clothes.

“You want to be naked, don’t you?” Daniel asked,
smirking.

“You did this on purpose.”

“Baby, I’ll do whatever it takes to get you naked and
have you doing it willingly.” He took her hand once they were dressed. “Let’s
go and see the rest of the pack.”

Jake appeared through the trees looking tired.

“You stayed up all night?” she asked.

“Daniel wanted you protected, and I promised to do
so.” Jake walked beside them out toward the garden. Dawn gasped as she saw all
of the cars parked within the grounds. She heard the sounds of the pack inside
the house. How was this going to go well? Her mother despised her, her own
father didn’t see when she was in pain or not, and the only person who truly
loved her was Daniel.

“What if they don’t like me?” she asked.

“They’ll like you, baby, because you make me happy.”
He stayed by her side as they both walked into the house. The pack all stopped
what they were doing and started to converge on the main hall. She took several
deep breaths, wishing there was some way to escape from this.

All eyes were on her and Daniel. He stood beside her,
lifting up their joined hands for them all to see.

“I would like to introduce you all to my mate. This is
Dawn, and she’s part of our pack now. She’s my mate, and any problems you have,
you’ll come to one of us. Do any of you have any concerns, questions, or desire
to challenge?”

She tensed as he threw it out there for all of them to
think about. Her palm grew sweaty as she looked at all the men and women. They
truly scared the life out of her. If they all protested there was no way for
her to fight them off.

“Actually, can anyone tell me where the sugar is? I
can’t eat my cereal without sugar. It’s too gross.”

“Yeah, where’s the spaghetti sauce? We’re all here and
ready to get back to normal, alpha.”

Many people started asking questions about something
else.

Daniel chuckled. “Everything you need is either in the
kitchen or the pantry.” He rubbed her neck, and she groaned.

The pack started to move out of the room.

“Alpha, we’re happy for you.”

They were left alone. Even Jake had wandered off,
leaving them.

“See, I told you. You’re going to be loved here. Now,
it’s time for us to go and check out your pack.” He kissed her cheek, taking
hold of her hand and leading her upstairs. She went with him willingly.

Chapter Ten

Later that evening Daniel sat opposite Dawn’s father
and mother. He was struck by how cold the house was. Not only was the house
cold but so was the pack. The chill filled the room, and it was all coming from
one woman, her mother. He watched Don, her father, embrace her.

“Honey, I missed you, darling.” He kissed her cheek,
hugging her close. This man was so busy he didn’t even see what was happening
to his own pack. The excuse was pitiful at best. Dawn had been subjected to
pain and torture because of her mother.

“Hey, Daddy,” Dawn said, smiling.

She didn’t look toward her mother, and neither did her
father.

“You’re all mated now. Wow, when did you grow up? It
doesn’t feel ten minutes ago since you were born.” Don held her hand, the love
shining from his eyes as he looked at her. “When I felt you being torn from me,
I panicked. I’ve never experienced anything so awful.”

“Don, please, she’s a big girl. It’s time to let her
go. You should have let her go a long time ago,” Francie said. Her mother was
glaring at Dawn.

Daniel saw the anger, the fear, and the disgust within
her mother’s eyes. There was also envy along with jealousy. So many emotions
coming from her mother but she wasn’t a true alpha, as otherwise she’d have
kept those emotions locked up tight.

“Stop it, Francie.” Don glared at her, but the smile
returned to his face when he looked at his daughter.

“You’re always so busy with the pack, Daddy. You never
really saw I was growing up.”

“No, I didn’t see a lot, did I? There are times I feel
like I lost time with you, honey. I’m going to miss you.” He turned to look at
Daniel. “I don’t suppose you’ll let her visit me often, would you? I’m going to
miss my baby.”

Daniel tensed, seeing the glee in Francie’s eyes.
Yeah, he wasn’t going to be letting his woman anywhere near this bitch.

“I can’t allow her to come here unattended, Don. I’m
sure you can understand seeing as her tormentor and abuser is still living
here.”

“Daniel!”

He held his hand up stopping Dawn from speaking.

“No, baby, you’re not going to let her get away with
this shit for much longer. I’m done and I can see he loves you very much, but
I’m not going to let her get away with it.”

Francie started to panic.

“What the hell are you talking about? My daughter has
never been abused.” Don growled the words, getting to his feet.

“Your wife, your mate, she’s the reason your daughter
has been unable to feel any kind of pain. She tortured her during her
transition, keeping her chained to trees and beating her when she turned. Your
mate tried to break my woman, and for that reason, I can’t let her come here
while you still have her.” He pointed his finger at Francie.

“You can’t do this!” Francie started to scream. “You
little bitch. You couldn’t keep your mouth fucking shut.”

Her mother charged toward Dawn. His mate didn’t move,
twitch, or show any sign of fear. Before Francie got close, Don grabbed her
around the waist.

“Is this true? Did you abuse our daughter?” He shook
his wife, glaring down at her.

“She deserved it. The little bitch was always getting
in to trouble and always running to you. She needed to know her place. This is
not her pack. It’s mine.
Fucking mine.”

“Her transition was her most important time. How could
you hurt our child, our daughter? What the fuck is wrong with you?” Don’s anger
filled the room.

Daniel wondered if he knew what was going on in his own
pack.

“She was just a way of getting you. You wouldn’t have
looked at me twice if I didn’t get fucking pregnant. The only reason I’ve got
you is because I was fucking pregnant.” She spat the words back at Don. “This
is my pack. Being your mate is my fucking right. She held alpha qualities. The
moment you and the pack saw that, they’d have cast me aside. I wasn’t going to
let that happen. Bitch needed to be put in her place.”

The bile coming from her sickened Daniel, and he had
his answer. Dawn was a submissive, but she held the traits that only an alpha
possessed.

“You’re not my fucking mate.” Don released her and
stood. “All
claim
I have to you is over. I refuse to
take a mate who can abuse my own daughter.” Don turned to look at Dawn. “Is all
of this true?”

“Yes,” Dawn said, whispering the word.

“She’s no daughter of mine. She’s a fucking slut. I
hate her. It’s not fair. She doesn’t deserve to have an alpha.”
