Chapter 4 - BREEDER FOR HIM

Bella's POV

"What's happening? "Where am I?" I was so confused that I trembled as I tried to make sense of what I was seeing. But with a blindfold covering my eyes, all I could see was darkness.

I was lost, my senses overpowered by the strange sounds and smells all about me, and panic shot through me. Despite my trepidation, I had a lot of questions since I was yearning for clarification in this scary and uncertain scenario.

But all I could do was wait, my heart thumping with horror at what was ahead as I felt utterly lost in the darkness.

"What's happening to me?" I mumbled, frustration evident in my voice as I struggled to get to my feet, only to fall back onto my knees, overwhelmed by agony.

I realized I was tied down, and as I attempted to grasp my circumstances, a feeling of dread overcame me. "Where am I at this moment? What is happening? Why am I being constrained? My head was filled with inquiries, but all I heard was quiet. My cries resounded in the void of darkness. Hello? Can anyone hear me?" Tears filled my eyes, and I cried out again, my voice tinged with desperation. "Help me, please..."

But instead of assistance, a voice responded with authority, sending shivers down my spine. "Are you always this weak?" it sneered.

"Who are you?" I stammered, panic rising within me. "Take off the blindfold," I demanded, my brows furrowing in defiance."You've got some guts for someone I paid a lot for," the voice hissed, sending a chill down my spine. I recognized it instantly – it was the voice of an Alpha.

Fear gripped me as his warm touch grazed my face. "What do you want from me?" I questioned, my dread mounting with each passing moment.

"You should be polite, as you are now my property! And nobody questions me!" he snarled with rage.

"Property? Are...are you Alpha Draco of the Valeshade pack?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper, as the horrifying truth began to sink in.

He laughed and remarked, "Seems you aren't so clueless," which confirmed what I had assumed.

When I became aware of how serious the situation was, my heart raced with fear. I was in the company of Alpha Draco, the Valeshade pack's ruler of the rogues.

I forced myself to swallow as the horrifying stories I had heard about him filled my head. Despite my best efforts, the ideas persisted and increased my level of anxiousness. I could barely breathe as my chest constricted, remembering my abortive attempt to flee. Right now, he could easily take my life.

I gritted my teeth and tried not to panic, but then I felt his hands on my face and I flinched.

He laughed and remarked, "Seems you aren't so clueless," confirming my suspicions." Michael, please remove her blindfold," demanded Alpha Draco.

"Who's Michael?" For the first time, I realized there was someone else in the room, so I whispered.

As soon as Michael's hands took off the blindfold, I felt a chill go down my spine because I knew that he was Alpha Draco's Beta, his second in command and equally as vicious as his Alpha.

The blindfold was removed, and I gulped and flinched away, blinking as my eyes grew used to the dark. Michael and Alpha Draco were the only people in the vacant room. 

Meeting Alpha Draco's gaze, I couldn't help but tremble in the presence of the imposing and strikingly handsome man before me, his dominance palpable."Are you done watching?" he demanded, his voice brooking no argument.

"My apologies, Alpha... I didn't intend to," I replied, my head bowed in deference.

"So, do you remember why you are here?"With a sigh, Alpha Draco strode towards me, moving more quickly than any wolf I had ever come across. He was standing next to me in the blink of an eye.

I observed him, bewildered, trying to make sense of the mysterious look on his face.

He urged me to "look up," his deep voice chilling me to the bone. I took a moment to compose myself before complying, my hair acting as a veil of disguise as my cheeks flushed with anxiety. 

"Look at me," he instructed once more, his tone firm.

Without hesitation, I met his piercing green gaze, unable to defy his command.

As he leaned down, I trembled in terror, feeling like prey in his grasp. His hand reached out, fingers threading through my hair, and despite my fear, I found myself strangely drawn to his touch. But as quickly as it had come, his touch was gone, leaving me jolted back to reality.

"Alpha, please, would you let me go once I've worked enough to pay your money back?" I implored, my voice trembling with terror. "I'll work harder as your maid, so I can...?"

"Maid?" Alpha Draco repeated, his gaze piercing as he considered me for a moment before turning to his Beta for clarification.

My heart pounded in my chest as fear, desire, uncertainty, and a myriad of other emotions swirled within me, leaving my mind perplexed."It seems you are clueless. I suppose your Uncle did not inform you?" Alpha Draco directed his question at me, his eyes boring into mine.

"Inform me about what?" I asked hesitantly, unsure if I truly wanted to know the answer.

"The only job you have here is to carry my baby, my son." he declared.

I froze in shock, unable to comprehend his words.

"You are my breeder..." As his fingers ran over my hair, his words sounded like a chilly whisper, giving me a chill.

As the truth of my circumstances set in, betrayal and dishonesty came crashing over me like a tidal wave, causing tears to build up in my eyes. "Why do they have to be so cruel to me?"

"No... Please," I cried, desperation lacing my words as I struggled to find a way out. "I promise to work and pay back all your money."

He remained calmly staring at me, his silence more menacing than any words he could utter. I pleaded desperately, my voice trembling with fear, "Please, Alpha... I can pay off my Uncle's debt. I promise I will pay it off."

But Beta Michael's immediate response shattered my hopes. "Miss Bella, I'm afraid you can't pay off the amount your Uncle owes."

As the realization hit me, my heart fell. As I accepted the painful reality, I fell to my knees with tears running down my face. I tried everything to avoid this fate, but it was impossible.

I swallowed back tears and whispered, hardly audible, "I don't want to be your breeder."

"Bella!" I flinched when Alpha Draco's words echoed through the room. He gave me a non-readable look as he looked down, then straightened up. "You can choose between two things. You could be my breeder voluntarily or under duress."

When I became aware of how serious my position was, fear took hold of me like a vice. There was no way out, no escape from the cruel fate that awaited me.
