The Alpha's Captive: Bound by Fate, Freed by Love

Malia's POV

"You're looking very pretty" he turned to me and fear chills ran up my spine, "What's your name?" He asked. "Malia," I said as I shivered, "I guess you haven't told them why I'm here. Please do" he smiled handing the floor to Maverick.

Maverick stood up, and cleared his throat, "Alpha Rhys here has been very generous to us" he started as we all looked in surprise, "When I was on the ground he helped me bounce back on my feet; he gave me a house, this house" he said referring to our house.

"He funded my firm when I almost went bankrupt"

He is the CEO of Blackwood Capital – A wealth management firm handling elite investments and banking.

"So what more can I do than give my beautiful daughter here to him" he smiled turning to me. That was shocking because I couldn't remember when last he smiled at me. I was shocked, Mom was shocked, we were all shocked.

"You can't do this to my daughter Maverick!" My mom rose, "Well I thought we could do this calmly" Rhys said as he signaled his guards, "You can't do this, I already have a mate!" I yelled.

"I already signed the deal, there's no going back."

"It's my life, my choice, you can't tell me what to do with it, you're not even my father!" my face contorted with distress, my eyes filled with tears.

"She's not going anywhere!" My Mom intervened, and she gripped me tightly. "I wouldn't be so sure," Rhys said ushering his guard to hold her down.

"I'm a man of my word, so when I keep my end of the bargain, I expect mine to be kept," he said as one guard handed him a gun. "This is silver, I guess you all know what it does to the body," he said pointing it at Ethan.

"Don't!" I yelled, "No I'm not gonna harm anyone if you follow me peacefully, but if you don't, I'll make you watch them die one by one," he said with an evil smirk.

I was just fidgeting, hoping Logan was on his way.

"Please let me just get something from my room", I asked. "You don't have to worry about anything, everything will be provided for you." He answered gesturing me to stay put.

"It's just this piece of jewelry my dad gave to me, it's really precious to me," I said, but I had my motives.

"You've got a minute," he said as I hurried straight for my room, I locked the door to make sure no one was able to come in, and then I climbed down from the window.

Outside, I saw some of Rhys's guards but I managed to maneuver past them, as I was moving in the dark hand dragged me into the dark, I wanted to scream but my mouth was covered.

"Shhh, it's me" I heard the voice of Logan and I felt a deep sigh of relief, "What took you so long?" my face dropped with worry, "When I saw those guards outside I knew it was no good, what's going on?" He whispered.

"Kieran warned me" I cried, "I can't believe this is happening." "What's you happening?" He asked with curiosity building up. "That ogre, my step-father, I can't believe he sold me off to that son of a b*tch (Rhys) over some stupid deal I knew nothing about."

He scratched his head, his mouth was set in a tensed, anxious smile, "I'm not gonna let that happen,"

"What do we do?" I asked, my eyes widened, and my eyebrows shot up in terror.

"We run," he said, "My mom is at the Arcane moon pack, that was her pack before she married my dad, we can go stay there till we figure out what to do next."

It occurred to me that my disappearance had already been noticed when a light flashed at us, "Over there!" A guard yelled as they ran towards up.

"Run!" Logan growled, we ran to Logan's bike and rode away but they gave chase with cars, we had a reasonable gap between us but my heart was pounding so fast I was struggling to catch my breath.

"Are you alright?" Logan asked me as we rode away, "I'm scared" I replied, my lips trembled as I thought about what Rhys would do if he managed to catch us.

"We'll get through this, together." He said with assurance in his tone, I just held him tightly as we rode with great speed. "I hope Ethan is okay."

"He'll be fine, he's a strong kid..." he trailed off as the bike came to a stop. "Shit!" He blazed with fury as he hit the bike with his fist. "Quick, to the woods!" He ditched the bike by the road as we ran on foot through the woods.

"We have about 17 miles to go and we've barely made it a mile, so we continue on foot through the woods till morning, then we weigh our options."

My eyes darted widely through the woods sending fear chills down my spine, "Are you okay" Logan asked, and I nodded in a yes. "Good, we've got lots of ground to cover."

Just a few steps into the woods, we heard a growl as a grizzly bear appeared in front of us. It attacked Logan but he ducked the attack as his eyes turned red with fangs and claws coming out, he growled with a strong alpha command voice.

The bear seemed afraid as it stiffened and its eyebrows dropped, it ran off into the woods. I turned to Logan, "They know where we are," he let out a deep sigh, his eyes cast downward.

"How?" my face paled, draining of all color as fear took hold.

"My growl, We must go now, run!" he yelled as we took on our heels, running as fast as we could. I was still confused as I tried to process the situation in my head, not long after, we started hearing voices and shouts behind us. "Find them!" a voice yelled.
