caught before escaping

Lily

“ Where am I?” I asked myself with a groan, blinking my lashes rapidly. I wasn't in the hospital anymore.

The sheet under me felt soft and silky and comfortable, making me not want to get up unless I took a deep breath. The moment the familiar scent hit my nostrils my whole body went stiff. A chilling sensation went down my spine.

“ Maya,” I called my wolf, only to get a weak whimper from her.

“ I can't be here,” I whispered to myself, removing the cover from my body. Unaware of the presence inside the room.

“ Why can't you be here mate?” My blood ran cold when he spoke. And I was stopped in my tracks.

“ Louise,” I breathed out in fear. The idea of me and him being alone in a room didn't sit well with me.

“ Yes baby,” he answered, softly as if nothing had happened between us.

I slowly turned around to face him. He was seated in the darkest corner of the room and when I looked at him he got up before making his way towards me like a predator.

“ What am I doing here?” I asked, keeping my voice low and steady.

“ Scared?” He asked, sarcastically.

“ Where else would you be if not with your mate?” He asked, raising one of his brows.

“ I don't want to be your mate.”

“ And I don't want to be here either. I am leaving,” I said, turning my back, and walking towards the door.

“ Where do you think you are going?” Grabbing my wrist in an iron -like hold he asked.

“ In my room,” I said with anger rising in my chest.

“ From now on this is your room,” he said. His tone was casual.

F*ck I can't be here. I know what he is thinking even if we aren't bound with a mate bond I still know. And thank goddess he didn't mark me.

“ I will mark you tonight and you will be my Luna since you are my fated mate and you will give me an heir,” he said, but I knew better than to believe in his words.

“ No,” I said, and his hold on my hand turned bone crushing.

“ No?” He asked mockingly.

“ Isn't this what you wanted? To be my Luna?” He asked, his voice turning into low growls.

“ Veronica will be my Luna and you will be my fated mate,” he harshly turned me around before saying that.

My brain stopped working as I stared up at his face. I couldn't think, I don't know what to think anymore. This is the most absurd thing I have heard so far in my 19 years of life.

“ How can you even think like that?” I managed to say earning a low chuckle from him.

My heart froze and I knew Maya was speechless as well. Even though she wanted him as a mate, nothing could take the self respect away from both of us. I could feel her anger and it was nothing like I have ever felt before.

“ You are weak and the goddess knows if you have a wolf or not because no one has ever seen you shift but Veronica…… she is powerful and she is fit to rule beside me not you,”

“ You are good for breeding,” my stomach churned at his words. How did the moon goddess ever think to pair me with him? He paused and looked at my body with unmistakable hunger and lust in his eyes.

“ I will never be yours,” I spat on his face, pulling him out of his dirty thoughts.

“ I will……. His words were cut off when the door swung open. I took a shaky breath thanking the moon goddess.

“ What……

“ What is she doing here?” Veronica asked, looking at us.

“ What is it?” Louise asked, completely unbothered.

She looked at the distance between us and then at me, glaring daggers.

“ The Alpha king is on his way here,” she announced.

“ Go and tell the others to prepare for his arrival. I will be there,” he said, turning his attention back at me.

“ Get out,” he roared, as his head snapped at her direction and it took a second before she stormed out of his room, not before slamming the door loudly.

At this point I don't know whom I should fear most. I know what he intends to do to me and then there is Veronica. She will probably kill me in a most cruel way possible.

“ be ready for tonight. You will finally be my mate,” Louise said, bringing me out of my thoughts.

No no no, I have to find a way to sever the bond before he could do anything. Oh goddess, today is the best chance for me to escape this hellhole please. Moon goddess please help me, I sent a silent prayer, hoping she would answer me this time.

“ I won't be your mate, Louise or be your mistress,” I said, staring into his eyes.

“ And if you still don't reject the mate bond I will go to the Alpha king and no one will be able to stop me,” I said, stepping into his space.

“ I dare you,” he gritted out, anger rolling off of his body in waves.

“ Believe me Louise, I definitely would and you know really well how far I can go,” I said lowering my voice.

“ You want me, you will get me but first reject me,” I added.

“ Oh, do you think I don't know what game you are playing,” he chuckled.

“ Reject the bond.”

“ Or……

“ I, Louise Austin, Alpha of the blue heaven pack reject lily to be my mate and Luna of the pack.

My body went stiff for a moment, I couldn't believe he said those words. A chilling sensation spread through my heart.

“ I, Lily Anderson, accept your rejection to be your mate and Luna of the blue heaven pack,” a painful groan left our mouths as I felt on the floor gasping for air and he took a few steps away from me.

“ I will make sure you pay for this,” he said.

Looking at him, I stood up and without giving him any response I turned around to leave the room but before I could take a step, I felt a sharp pain on the back of my neck before everything went black.

“ Just a little bit,” I heard Maya's voice in the back of my head.

I knew I wasn't completely passed out as I could still sense what was happening around me. I panicked when I felt him carrying me somewhere.

“ If not as my mate I will still claim your body,” I heard him saying as he placed me on the bed. Then after a few long moments I heard his footsteps going away before I heard the closing sound of the door.

It took me a moment to open my eyes and I sat up with a jerk.

I looked around the room and heightened my hearing senses to hear if someone is outside of the door or the window.

When I was sure there was no one, I quickly went out of the bed only to stumble back down as I felt dizzy.

“ F*ck,” I cursed, shaking my head.

I stood up again, because I couldn't afford to take a rest to recover my body.

With trembling feet I made my way towards the window and slid the door open. I sighed, feeling the cold breeze caressing my skin.

Walking to the railing I climbed up before jumping down.

“ Urrghh,” I groaned in pain, clutching my leg. I got up, wiping the tears as I sobbed and then I ran limping towards the treeline that joins the forest.

“ Don't let them find me, yet,” I sobbed as I limped towards the forest.

“ Lily,” I body froze when I heard my name being called. Tears welled up in my eyes as I saw I was a few meters away from the forest.
