Chapter 3

21st of January. 06:12

I woke up from the sound of a knock on the door. I'm not a morning person. So I groaned before getting my last ass out of the bed. I remembered everything that happened last night. Thinking it's Richa. I picked up my purse and the cash on the rack before opening the door.

The only thing is that it was not Richa. Two men clad in black stood in front of me.

"Excuse me? Who are you?" I asked.

The tallest of the duo. He seems the one who does the hardcore things. But to me, he seems like an asshole. He one came a little forward. " You have to come with us" He announced. Okay so definitely an asshole.

"What made you think that?" I mumbled. Blinking as if he had grown horns. I know my smart mouth can get me in trouble. But I can't think of a situation more troubling than the one I'm already in.

"Someone is wanting to see you. Someone important" the Asshole no. Two. Who seems less intimidating than the first one said to me.

Yeah, I've named them Asshole number one and two in my mind. Hey! It makes my assessment of situations easier. You can't blame me for it.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not coming anywhere with you," I said as I turned to shut the door.

A strange fog surrounded me. It pricked at my skin. Making my muscles lose. I was almost paralyzed.

The Asshole number one smirked at me. "You deserve that bitch" He said.

Strangely I can hear and feel everything around me. But I just can't move. It's like something commanded my body to stop moving.

"Common Leo! We're not here to torcher the lady! We need to bring her back to Alpha" The Asshole number two said to Leo. The Asshole number one.

Oh, so they call their boss Alpha! Wow, what a caveman shit.

"Gabe bro I swear to god she was trying to kill me with her eyes only!" Leo said to Asshole number two. Gabe.

Okay, the Assholes have names...! Great.

Gabe just shakes his head before looking at me. "See, Miss Clara. You should just come with us. Will save us all a lot of trouble. Otherwise, we know other ways to take you with us" he said.

I just stared at him. Because what did he expect? I was paralyzed for God's sake.

"See I'm going to free you now. If you tried any smart. I'll just paralyze you again. Am I clear?" He asked while Leo picked my stuff up.

After a few seconds. I was able to move again. "What had you done to me?" I yelled at them frowning.

They both chooses to ignore me as they walked out of the room. thinking I will follow.

I did. because I don't want to be frozen again.

We walked together to the elevator. It chimed open. They waited for me to get in before entering. The elevator was filled with silence besides the tapping of my boots.

Leo turned to me rolling his eyes before getting back to ignoring me again. Bastard.

"At least tell me who your boss is," I asked when the elevator opened again. We headed out towards the parking lot.

Gabe opened the backseat door of the big black Mercedes for me. I didn't get time to ogle when Leo all but pushed me inside. "Guess you are about to find out!" Gabe said sliding in beside me while Leo ride the shotgun. There was another man, which I assume is a driver.

The drive was quiet. The black door between the passenger side and backside was closed when the car started on the highway. I take in all my surroundings. I've never been to this part of Seattle. My whole life was deprived in that small town. The part of the town was surrounded by huge buildings. A chuckle left my lips.

I turned towards Gabe. Who was looking at me intently? My face heats up as if I was caught doing something that I should not be doing.

"You amuse me to no end" the whispers came from Gabe, it was so low that I doubt I even heard them. When I looked at him again he was busy with his tab.

What's with all men behaving strangely around me?

I tried to ignore the warm feeling I had in my chest. It was the first time someone said I amuse them. I wanted to hear more of it.

Now that I looked towards Gabe, he was handsome. His features were hard yet soft. I've seen his eyes were hazel. He can be a male model from a magazine like Alistair—

I zapped out of my thoughts when Gabe snapped his fingers in front of my face.

"Are you listening? We are here" He said.

I blinked trying to clear my mind. What now? I was feeling warm for my kidnapper. And I was comparing him with Alistair? Who left me last night? What had gotten into me?

"Yeah okay, "II replied to him. He looked at me a moment before sliding out of the car. I did the same.

We were standing near a huge mansion. It was demolished in white. There was a fountain near the entrance of the huge mansion.

"Come inside" Leo snapped at me. I saw that everyone have left. Of course, He's snapping at me cause he had to tolerate me

I decided not to test my luck and followed him inside. Only to stop dead in my track when we were inside.

The hall where met was huge. The golden walls were surrounded by classic paintings. The furniture was all-cost wooden furniture that one can just dream about buying. The tiles on the floor were so shiny you can see yourself in them.

But that's not what caught my attention. No.

The thing that caught my attention was the man sitting with grace on the huge sofa. The very man who paid and left me alone. His bright golden eyes stared at me just like last night.

Alistair King.

Kick me in the ass, someone!
