Chapter Three
When I woke up I didn't know where we were and my entire body hurts like a bitch. I was sure I was spotting a black eye and I almost cried out with each breath I take.Where are we? I wondered.I was at the back of a van packed outside a huge gate where Gary was speaking to one of the guards. A few moments later he walked back to the van.“rise and shine muffin, we’re here at your new home.” He informed me. He must bejoking, I thought. Whose house is this and why is it my new home? Gary pulled me out of the van roughly despite my protests and how battered I was.“you Better be on your best behaviour and do not do anything to anger him." He warned. "you think i’m horrible wait till he tears you into shreds for even the slightest blunder.”My heart was pounding wildly at what Gary just told me. Who is this ‘him’ Gary was talking about? Sounds like someone I never wanna meet in this lifetime if even Gary was scared shitless of him. His fingers were digging into my arm as he dragged me to the gate. I looked around and there were no buildings in sight. If Gary brought me here to work as a slave then I wouldn't mind at all as long I get to be faraway from him.The gates opened and we went in.There was a long driveway winding down to the most impressive mansion i’d ever seen. Tall trees and vegetation surrounded the area, we went up the steps to the front door and Gary knocked. The huge oak door opened and a middle-aged man appeared.“come in.”the man said. I clamped my lips shut to keep me from screaming out in pain as Gary pushed me forward into the open door and I almost stumbled on the steps. The man disappeared and not too long a tall good looking man in suit appeared. Is this the ‘him’ that Gary was going on and on about?“Gary what brings you here, does the boss know you’re here?Okay, so that's not ‘him’“I have brought a treat for the boss, fresh and young i’m sure he’ll enjoy it. This isn't to compensate at all I just need more time.”What's he talking about?“the boss doesn't take treats.” The young man said. Gary pushed me forward. “ignore her haggard look she cleans up nicely I promise.” Gary said and then he leaned in conspiratorially and said with fervent excitement. “wanna know something else? She’s a virgin.”I clamped my mouth shut afraid to say anything that might anger Gary further. I was wrong, I hadn't been brought here to work as a mere slave but I was to become a sex slave to a man more ruthless than Gary?“absolutely not.” The young man said and Gary fell to his knees begging him to take me and see what the boss thinks. I was shaking my head vigorously, “no, you can't leave me here.” My pleadings fell on deaf ears. Before the man could protest further Gary was on his feet and making for the door. “you be good to the boss, i’d hate to come back and find you in pieces.” Gary said and then he was gone leaving me to the cruel fate he’s condemned me to. The man looked me over and said. “come with me.” I hesitated before I went with him. He brought me to what looks like a basement and told me to get in, tears soaked my face as I watched him lock the door behind him and I was shrouded in darkness. I sank unto the cold hard floor and sobbed until exhaustion took over me and i fell asleep.Chapter Thirty TwoI try not to let Tristan's absence bother me too much but his rejection cut deep and I resent myself for letting me miss him. Did he find me so repulsive that he’d rather be with Rowena instead?I never know what he's thinking, or what it is he's hiding behind those brilliant blue eyes. Without meaning to I let thoughts of him dominate my mind. I wanted this job to keep myself busy so I don't look like a loser pining after a man I would never have but even that I'm failing miserably.Bryan's grandma who owned the diner was a sweet wiry woman in her sixties with a perpetual smile on her face, she didn't have a problem with Bryan hiring me in fact she was so happy to have me that she pulled me in a tight hug until I couldn't breathe. It took Bryan's grumblings for her to let me go but I didn't mind at all.Over the next few days I busied myself with my new job until I could spare no time for thoughts of Tristan which is a progress i suppose. Bryan was very down to ear
Chapter Thirty One"This is a bad idea." Cherry said later when we got to town while I was clutching the CV I'd printed up like my life depends on it- I guess in a way my life kinda depends on it seeing as I need it to get a job."Alpha Tristan is gonna have a fit when he finds out." Josh put in."Who's gonna tell him? Besides, I can't stay locked up in the estate forever I have a life you know, I gotta go to college."" Well yeah, but you don't have to work for that I mean come on it's pretty obvious the Alpha has a thing for you. Am I right Cherry?""yeah but the only part I'm not so sure of is Kyra depending on Alpha Tristan," Cherry mused. " For one, she isn't a werewolf so she's not his responsibility and two, she's not his mate."Wow that really hits close to home, it's one of the things I keep forgetting- whatever I feel for Tristan and whatever his reaction towards me is because let's face it there's no hiding his obvious attraction to me even Cherry and Josh could see it- not
Chapter Thirty" Don't keep yourself up waiting for something that's not gonna happen Kyra." "You're a total jerk you know that?"I huffed in frustration. Why can't I stop thinking about Tristan?I've lost count on how many times he wandered into my thoughts and it's only the start of the day. I couldn't sleep last night because of him and I have such awful bags under my eyes that even josh jumped back in surprise when I walked into the kitchen that afternoon.It was already noon because I deliberately slept in so I wouldn't have any awkward run-ins with Tristan. I was pathetic last night and this morning I was so mortified by how desperate I sounded that I wished I could bury my head in the sand."Man you look awful." Cherry commented. I plopped myself into the empty chair at the table."I know." I grumbled."Stop teasing her you two." Betsy chided then she turned to me and said, "You don't even look that bad Kyra. Here, have something to eat." She pushed a plate of bacon in front o
Chapter Twenty NineEven after extracting the name of the wolf who put them to it Tristan didn't pause on the whip instead it fuelled his anger more. The cracks of the whip and their screams of pain was all that could be heard but Tristan wasn't stopping anytime soon, even their desperate pleadings fell on deaf ears until Isaac interfered."I think they've had enough don't you think?" Isaac said eyeing the almost identical wounds on their backs still fresh and dripping with blood unable to heal, at least it won't for a while because the whip had been laced wolfsbane. It must hurt like a bitch, he thought with a grimace. One of them has already passed out and his body was dangling from the ropes tied all the way to the ceiling.For a fleeting second Tristan looked as if he was going to turn on his Beta who took a step back when he saw those black bottomless eyes, there was no telling what he'd do when he's gripped by Alpha rage but then Tristan shut his eyes and exhaled and his eyes sl
Chapter Twenty EightTristan came back with food as promised but Kyra was already fast asleep. She looked so peaceful and innocent-which hurt his heart- and very much human. The moon goddess must really enjoy playing sick jokes on him, out of all the shewolves…it had to be an insignificant human and her of all people, was it even a coincidence that she ended up at his doorstep?Gary just happened to be a tool- he hadn't forgotten about that bastard by the way- and after that she just kept messing with his head ever since. It's good that he made her see the real him hopefully this time she'd stay away for good, the mating bond don't mean anything to him until he accepts it and Tristan refused to accept it. On its own volition his hand was reaching out towards her and pushing back the tendrils of hair from her face. She stirred a bit but didn't open her eyes, Tristan pulled the blanket over her and left the room.Tristan let the moon ball go on without him and had Isaac oversee the enti
Chapter Twenty Seven I buried my face in his chest as we walked through the throng of werewolves. I didn't strain my ears to hear what they were whispering about me. When we were finally out of ear shot I pulled back and said, "you can put me down now I can walk perfectly fine.""Be quiet."A retort was just at the tip of my tongue but I held back, it was pointless to fight with him anyway and so I gave up. He was warm and comfortable eliciting a sigh of content from me.Tristan put me down on a king sized bed and as I took in the spacious room and dark colours I realised this was his bedroom.Why did Tristan bring me to his bedroom?"Why did you bring me here?" I asked as he took my arm to examine the claw scratches. "It's closer and you were heavy. Now wipe that snort off your face you look ugly."I snatched my arm away glaring at him. "Ha ha very funny."He grabbed my ankle and I winced in pain. "I'm going to kill those bastards." Tristan gritted.That was sweet and all him getti
