Chapter Three
Riddle Manor
Tom Riddle was a fair leader. He rarely got upset at his men. But when his men acted like stupid idiots. Well thats when they saw the true rage of their Alpha. Tonight was one of those nights or more like morning. Being woken up at two in the morning and having to leave the warm arms of his wife because his men had gotten into a fight with Dumbeldore's men. Was the worst way to wake him up. Tom walked next to Lucius as the older blonde explained what had happened. Tom froze mid step, causing Lucius to had to hold onto the railing to stop him from falling down the stairs. “We have one dead man, three in the hospital and others hurt all because of a young woman? Who the bloody is she?” Tom questioned.
Lucius looked up at his boss and nodded. “I am not sure Tom there was the girl who was passed out nude. I am assuming she the one who slept with my son and caused the whole situation and then the other blonde witch who was dancing with Theo.” Lucius said ashamed, he wanted to slap Draco himself but his son was already at the hospital wing. Plus Tom was surely to shew Draco a new one and then there was his wife who would do as much or worse damage then their Alpha could.
When Lucius and Tom walked through the doors of the hospital wing. They heard the recognizable screams of Narcissa Malfoy. Tom chuckled and gestured to Lucius to walk slower; he wanted to hear what Narcissa had to say.
“I can't believe you Draco, all for a girl, a girl we don't even know who she is. Crabb is dead Draco, that Weasley boy killed your friend. For all we know she is a spy sent by Dumbledore to kill you and you let her into your trousers. Tell me, tell me what makes this girl so special you put your men in dangour for.” Narcissa scolded.
“Now, now Cissa don't tell Draco does things. He must be suffering for the loss of his dear friend. You don't need to blame him. Plus is not his fault does men got in. I will be speaking to Greyback they did get threw him first.” Loren told her friend.
Tom just looked over to his wife. When had she gotten up from bed? She was wrapped around in her green silk robes “Now where is that young girl? I will like to speak to her and if she is a spy… Well, we will take proper action. We are going to have to call Regulus dear.” Loren informed me. “Salazar witch, do you know how much I love it when you act bossy.” Tom told her, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her neck.
Causing Draco to grow. “Aren't I in enough pain? All I want is for that weasel to pay for Crabb's death. How is Jane? Where is she?” Draco asked, looking around. To see if he could see her but all he saw was his men. “She is with Pansy and that weird blonde girl. Plus that girl should be the last thing on your mind. That Weasley boy is in the Malfoy dungeon should be our priority. What will we do with the Weasley boy my Lord? As soon as Dumbledor finds out he is going to be calling the M.L.C.” Lucius asked Tom.
“She isn’t a spy. I…I don't lose myself like that you all know that. But her… I can't explained it is like if she is an Omega, her scent is something else.” Draco said in heavy breath his body going thru a panic attack with the loss of one of his men and the worry about the strange girl he met.
“She is an Omega?” Loren asked surprised. There weren't that many omegas in the North of London. Draco shrugged his shoulders not sure how to respond. “I think she is… she smells so good and I got lost in her scent or what I could smell. I just knew she must be mine. I can't explain it is like if she used a charm or potion to hide her scent butt I could still smell it.” Draco confessed, confused.
“Well if Albus has something to do with this, that girl will tell us. Rest up now Draco we will take care of this situation.” Tom said his eyes going dark. For years Tom had waited patiently for his final move to bring Albus Dumbledore down and it seemed this young girl was the check piece he needed to bring that old man down.

When Hermione finally woke up she was on the softest bed she had ever slept on. The room was dark with just a few candles lighting the room.
“Where am I?” Hermione said in a raspy voice. She saw the figure of two women come up next to her. “Oh Jane you are up. I was so worried that Ron had really hurt you this time.” the lovely voice of Luna said.
The other woman next to Luna was a thin raven-haired woman with high cheekbones. “This time? So Weasley has hurt her before?” the woman asked.
Luna nodded while Hermione looked away “Is okay. I am their servant. Oh fuck Ronald! Molly! Luna we have to go or she will cru… We have to go!” Hermione said in a fighting voice.
She tried to get up but the raven haired witch pulled out her wand on them, stopping them. “I am sorry but you two can't leave. Alpha Riddle has to talk to both of you.” she said.
Hermione looked at Luna worried. “I am Pansy by the way, Pansy Parkinson. Did you say this is not the first time you get hurt by a Weasleys?” Pansy asked but before anyone could answer the question. The door to the bedroom opened and a tall dark skinned man came in.
“Pans, is time. You two follow me and if you know what is good for you. You will tell our Alpha the truth and just maybe will let you two live.” the man said, lookingqe down at them.
“Blaise! Excuse my boyfriend but we just lost one of our friends and you two are from the Dumbledore pack. You two must know what that means.” Pansy said but no they didn't.
While Luna and Hermione or more like Jane lived in Albus Dumbledore land neither one of them was part of his pack. Hermione was a servant girl for the Weasley family. While Luna's father wasn't well respected in their land. For all intentions both witches weren't pack members.
They didn't have any blood loyalty to anyone.
Luna helped Hermione walk to the office of Tom Riddle or as they should call him Sir, Lord, or Alpha Riddle. “He isn't as bad as they told you.” Pansy whispered to them right before they walked in.
Hermione had been taught to never make eye contact with superiors. But walking into the office of the London South pack Alpha Hermione would not put her head down. Not now, not till she knew what they would do to them. If she had to sacrifice herself for Luna's life. She would do it, she didn't have anyone in her life but Luna did.
As they walked into the large office Hermione's eyes didn't know where to look. There were so many books around the walls. There was also an old painting of a young toddler. Heemione assumed it must've been the Alpha's daughter.
What if Draco was her fiance and she had sex with him, that caused the death of one of his men. Was this why they were been called to be killed or sent to Azkaban prison.
“He is much taller than what I had heard and he doesn't have that much of nargles. Dumbledore is full of them. But his aura is gloomy; he had a great loss.” Luna whispered but apparently it wasn't low enough.
“You are a very prospective witch. But I do have to ask what in the world are nargles?” the head of the south side of London asks. Luna smiles and told him what nargles were and what they did.
Hermione took the moment to look at the Alpha and his Luna. He was very tall, almost as tall as Draco. But his hair was a soft brown as well as his eyes. The woman that stood next to him was beautiful. She was curvy and her dark brown wavy hair danced down her back. Her eyes are light green but like Luna said they seem sad.
“Well that is interesting but enough of that. You two witches caused quite a problem. Now I will only ask once. What does Albus Dumbledore want? Why did he send you two? From what we found only one of you had a wand and that wasn't you. How did you know who Draco was? If you two speak and tell us the truth, you will not be harmed but lie to us and you will rather wish to never be born.” Tom told them.
Hermione felt as Luna tensed, taking a deep breath she stood in front of her best friend. “You will not hurt Luna but you will let her go. I can stay here. I have no one back there.” Hermione started to tell Alpha Riddle. The man in front of her glared at her, he was about to stand up but his wife held his shoulders.
“Answer my husband and then we might be able to negotiate with you.” Loren told her. Hermione nodded and opened her mouth to answer their ridiculous questions.
“I believe I can answer all your questions simply. Neither Luna nor I are part of the pack. I am just a servant girl for the Weasley family. So I was never allowed to attend Hogwarts which means I don't own my own wand. I didn't know who or whom Draco even was. He just seemed to be an interesting man.” Hermione answered looking up.
But then her head fell. “All I can tell you both is that I am sorry for whatever Ronald did. I should inform you that I am promised to Ronald after his sister marries… I think Luna and I got lost in time. I am not allowed to leave the Weasley property but we left because they were gone for the night. Ronald must have come back early for some reason and when he didn't find me he… I don't even know how he could find me.” Hermione answered now she had her own questions.
How had Ronald found her and what had he done?

Tom looked at the young girl in front of him. She was a small thing and he was surprised when he saw her. He had known of Draco's conquest but she didn't look like his type.
This witch without a wand was rather simple but her temper was fiery as her hair. He had to try not to smile because this young witch reminded him of his wife. Part of him always wondered if his daughter would be this feisty.
“You are trying to tell me that you both just happened to fall into one of my man's business. You happened to fall into Draco's cock and fucked him with out knowing who he is. Do you think I am stupid little girl?” Tom asked her to walk over to her and stood in front of the slim redhead.
She just looked up at him and frowned. “I believe if you're an Alpha, you are not an idiot. But I am not lying. I have nothing to gain from it. Believe me or not but I am telling you the truth.” she tells him.
Tom squints to look at her, not just at her eyes but look deep in her soul. Snape had thought him legimency and he has used it in special occasions. He had to hold the young witch up so she wouldn't fall over. When he invited her mind. But when he pulled away Tom looked at the young witch confused.
From what he could see she told him the truth; he had also seen something he didn't like. She had been torture and not like his men torture enemies but in the way that was illegal in the whole wizarding world.
She won't be going back. He would have to enforce an old magical law but this young witch will not be leaving his land. If she did leave he was sure she would be killed.
“Zabini!” Tom yelled. In seconds Blaise walked in with his head looking down. “Yes sir.” Blaise asked. “Take these two witches to the kitchens. Make sure they are fed first and then tell Dobby to find positions for them.” Tom told Blaise.
“You two will be staying here till the sentence to Mr. Weasley has been done. You Ms. Lovegood might have the option to return to your family but you… what is your name girl? Weasley?” Tom questions. The girl shakes her head and looks back down. “I was supposed to be given the Weasley name but I wasn't. I am Jane, Jane Granger. Sir.” the witch tells him and he nods.
“You will work for my family from now on. You will not be returning to the Weasley family. For now you will not be paid since you do have to pay us back for all the damage Ronald Weasley did.” he told her. He lifted his eyebrow when he saw her smirk. “I was never paid with the Weasley family. Thank you Sir, I will be a good servant girl.” she tells him and his blood boils.Sure Tom had servants and other employees in his various businesses but he always paid them. This young girl, no young woman had been working for that family for however long and was never paid.
“Zabini take them now and call the Malfoys and Snape to come see us.” Tom demanded. Blaise just nodded his head and took the two witches away. When the two young woman left his office Tom took a deep breath. His mind was working million miles per hour and he needed his allies. Mostly since he was about to inforce an ancient law that hadn't been called forward in years.
“Tom darling what is wrong? And don't you dare say is nothing because I know that look, now tell me what is on your mind.” Loren asked him. Whatever her husband had saw had made him upset to the point to call in the Malfoys and Snape.
“I want to enforce The Gebo Law.” Tom stated.
Loren stared at his husband as the doors to the office opened. “What is the Gebo Law and why do you want to enforce it?” Loren asked, making their allies freeze. “My Lord, you can’t be serious” Lucius stated worry in his eyes. But Tom just glared at his left hand man. “My Lord, we all respect you but you as well as the rest of us know the Gebo Law is something not to be taken lightly.” Snape said walking over to Tom.
Loren just looked between the three wizards and witch still lost. Narcissa finally took pity on her dear friend. “Loren the Gebo Law is like an exchange. I am assuming our Alpha wants to exchange the freedom of the Weasley boy for one of the witches.” Narcissa said in her elegant voice. Tom nodded his head. “Not freedom. But he can be held under house arrest. He can be at home but magically tied to their grounds.” Tom started to explain.
“I used legilimency on the red headed witch. If we can even call her a witch. She was never taught proper magic nor has a proper wand. The blonde witch taught her some magic and gave her a wand that dosen’t really respond to the redhead. Oh by the way that man Blaise hired two years ago. Apparently he is also a Weasley must have dye his hair avoiding to get killed. We will need to speak to him.” Tom said taking a seat behind his desk.
“Now what I saw in that young woman mind was not pleasant. She has been physically abused for years and that boy in our custody has tried to take advantage of her sexually. I will not send her back to them. They would kill her as soon as she steps foot into their grounds. I rather her stay here and be a respected employee then to send her back.” Tom stated looking at his allies.
“Tom, I mean Alpha I do not mean to be disrespectful but this isn't like you. Why take interest in that young woman?” Lucius questioned worried for not just his leader but his dear friend.
Loren smiled at her husband. “She spoke her mind. I believe that is what caught Tom's attention. Plus if what Tom saw is real it would be horrible to send her back. But how would we or Tom put that law into effect? Would the Weasley family or Dumbledore even let them accept?” Loren asked
Lucius smiled at Tom and they both nodded. “We will just use their son against their intelligence. If we tell them that their son may come back home till his court date. All they have to do is cut the engagements with Jane Granger and let her become our servant girl. They I'll surely sign without looking or telling their leader.” Tom said with a wicked smile on his face.
Tom Riddle was going to win one over Dumbledore.
