The Alpha
Chapter 45
Scarlet's POV
Soon we are passing buildings that gradually get bigger and bigger while also getting more congested. Eventually we are stopped by a pair of guards. "What's your business here?" one demands, though I can't see him from my position.
"We come bearing a gift for Alpha Lucien," Rowan replies as he lowers me to the ground and spins me around to face the two unknown wolves. I stumble slightly with my ankles still bound together, but Rowan steadies me as he places hands on my arms. Both the guards narrow their eyes at me suspiciously before they look at one another. The left one gives the other a nod and then the one on the right mind-links someone as his eyes go glossy.
A moment later the left says, "Alright, follow us."
Rowan hefts me up again and I grunt as his shoulder hits me in the gut. I begin to squirm and he gives my butt a couple pats. "There there," he begins teasingly and a low, threatening snarl rips through my lips. "Don't start acting up or I'll have to drug you again," he warns. I grumble softly to myself as I hold my head up and look around. That's when I notice the large skyscraper that we are heading towards. It is both magnificent and bizarre. It is somehow modern and medieval as it is built to look like a castle, but with steel and glass. My eyes travel up to the tall spires that touch the sky. Every inch of it is pristine with a large silver gate surrounding it to help protect it against unwanted visitors. My stomach flips within me. I hope Ethan and his team can find a way in.

The only thing in the room is a wide platform with a throne sitting in the middle of it with smaller versions of it on either side, presumably for his Luna and daughter. Just the thought of Nicole makes me grimace in disgust before I hear another door open from off to the side. I strain my head to try to see but am unable, until Rowan puts me down again. That's when I see him. Lucien standing in front of his throne with a disarming glint in his eye that spells trouble. A shiver
