Rescued by my Alpha ~

‎Bite Me, My Fated Alpha King

‎Chapter Two~

‎

‎ Camila had left quickly afterwards, quietly shutting the door behind her so as not to alert anyone of her presence. I had stayed awake most of the night, my mind completely frazzled after spending hours trying to figure out what she took from the lab and why she was apologizing to me, it's not her fault that I am locked up here, or is it? Is there something she is not telling me?

‎ I understood that she wasn't comfortable after seeing the way the lab scientists handled me, but she was a human, and humans hated werewolves.

‎ I couldn't help but not trust her, I wasn't sure of her true intentions.

‎ I squinted as the lights flickered above me, signalling yet another day of tests had begun. Gazing over at the large metal door, my emotionless eyes followed Dr. Lucas and Emilia as they entered the room, looking overly chipper.

‎ "Breakfast," huffed Lucas as he pulled my incubation pod open, quickly sliding my plate of food over to me before exiting in a hurry.

‎ I was usually only given lunch in the middle of the day to keep me weak, my body was desperate for extra nutrients. As I ate the food in front of me slowly, not wanting to push my limit, Lucas pulled out a couple of handcuffs from his pocket. It caused me to stop chewing immediately, my brown eyes going wide. "Relax, they're only silver," he chuckled as a wave of nausea overcame me, causing me to nearly puke all of the food I had just ingested.

‎ "Today we are going to test how your body reacts to constant contact with silver, and to know if the pain eventually subsides," announced Emilia, causing my eyes to water, knowing I was about to endure pure agony.

‎ “You'll be chained up with these, and we will check back on you every hour to see how you are holding up," spoke Lucas as he made his way up the stairs, pulling the door open and stalking towards me. "Please, don't!" I cried as he pulled me up off the floor, wrapping the silver handcuffs around my wrists and locked them. He dropped me back onto the ground, and I landed with a harsh thump. I shook as I felt the silver slice open my skin, a searing pain spreading across my wrists as I winced in pain, clenching my teeth in an attempt not to scream.

‎ "This is wrong! she could die!"

‎ I snapped my head towards the sound of the voice to see a furious looking Camila glaring at Lucas and Emilia, who simply rolled their eyes, ignoring her.

‎ "You're torturing a young girl, do you have no soul, you're going to slowly kill her?!" growled Camila, causing me to furrow my brows, cocking my head as I gazed at her. I was still unsure why she was trying to help me.

‎ Emilia turned to Camila, with her fists clenched and her face as red as a tomato.

‎ "We are doing our jobs here. If you don't like it, then leave! You are of no help to us!"

‎ "I hope you both have a very painful and slow death," Camila muttered so quietly that I barely even heard it. She swiftly walked out of the room, giving me one last pitiful look before slamming the door shut. I gazed at the door, wondering why this new intern was so against my torture and why she even got the job in the first place, knowing what it entails.

‎ "We will return in an hour," said Lucas as both he and Emilia turned to walk out of the door, but they stopped in their tracks. They gazed around in panic as a large bang echoed throughout the room, causing them both to gasp, the whole building began to shake as if there was an earthquake. I covered my ears at the deafening noise, squeezing my eyes shut as the wall to the lab exploded, rubble and bricks flying through the air. They smashed into my thick glass incubation pod, shattering it, the glass almost pierced my skin.

‎I cried out in fear, cowering in the corner, watching in horror as multiple men barged through the rubble.

‎Screams bounced off the walls as Emilia and Lucas panicked, rushing out of the room. They tripped over bricks and appliances as they did so, a few men went after them as they disappeared around the corner.

‎"There's one in here!" yelled one of the men, pointing over to me.

‎"Go and check the other rooms! I'll get this one!" I recoiled at the sound of the man's booming voice, his voice was firm and assertive. He made his way over to me, scanning me up and down in pity before hoisting me up in his large muscular arms, causing me to squirm.

‎I looked back at my now shattered chamber, glaring at it with hate, feeling some form of victory now that it was just a pile of shattered glass on the ground, broken, like me. I was carried out of the lab room, noticing how other wolves were also hauled out of their shattered incubation pod, looking battered and bruised. Their faces were masked with relief as they realized they were no longer trapped behind those huge glass walls.

‎"C'mon, Move it!" My heart quickened as a loud voice filled the hallway, tingles erupting across my entire body at the sound of it. A wave of anxiety rushed over me as I scanned my surroundings, attempting to find the source of the husky voice.

‎It was laced with a slight Italian accent, and my heart hammered against my ribs as I turned my head from side to side. Suddenly, the man holding me whirled around, and I gasped, my eyes settling on an extremely tall and muscular man standing a few feet away from us. His brows furrowed as he looked around, his harsh hazel eyes landing on me, softening slightly.

‎"Drop her," he growled at the man who was carrying me, his chest rising up and down as he attempted to control his breathing, striding over to us.

‎I gazed up at the tall man that stood before us, his eyes boring into mine as he glared at the handcuffs that were tightly wrapped around my wrists, my skin burned and bloody underneath the chains.

‎"Yes, Alpha Theonardo," replied the man, instantly setting me down gently, taking a few steps back in confusion. My heart began to palpitate as I gazed up at him in awe. Everything around me became a blur, and it seemed as if my world had completely stopped.

‎I felt drawn to him, and although I didn't know him, I felt more at ease than I ever had before. Maintaining the eye contact, the man before me yanked the handcuffs off of me, throwing them to the ground, his sharp jawline clenched as he watched my face for any signs of pain. Once he saw me flinch, he cursed under his breath, shaking his head.

‎The god-like man quickly hoisted me up, causing me to wrap my arms around his neck instinctively so as not to slip, as he stalked out of the lab building. He gently set me down on the grass, crouching down in front of me. He pulled my wrists to him, delicately scanning them up and down with a piercing gaze, his hands shaking underneath mine, signalling that he wasn't very happy.

‎"What did they do to you, my love?" he questioned, causing me to frown, furrowing my brows. "I will kill whoever did this to you."

‎I shook my head, pulling my pulsating wrists back to my chest, cradling them and wondering what this man was saying.

‎"Alpha Theonardo, all the lab workers are dead, and everyone has been rescued," spoke the man who had found me as he ran over to us, eyeing me up strangely as he looked between Theonardo and me.

‎Theonardo nodded, his jaw still clenched as he ran his hands through his dark hair, sliding his hand down his face until it rested on his stubble.

‎"Start heading back, and get them all to the private pack hospital immediately."

‎"Do you need help with this one, Sir?” Theonardo didn't take his glowing eyes off of me, shaking his head slightly before waving the man away. "No, I've got her."

‎I watched as his men helped to gather up the bruised and battered wolves, some being carried away towards large black cars, all disappearing in a matter of seconds.

‎"We have to go now, my love," spoke Theonardo as he reached his arm out to me, causing me to look at him suspiciously, my face masked with fear.

‎Where did those men take those other wolves? Were they just being moved to another lab where they would continue to be tested on? Was this my only chance to run?

‎"Don't even think about it," warned Theonardo, his voice deep and husky, one of his eyebrows raised.

‎"I-I am not" I mumbled, frantically looking around for some sort of escape route, feeling overwhelmed.

‎Theonardo's eyes softened as he sighed, closing them for a few seconds before hoisting me up in his arms, causing me to inhale sharply.

‎"I won't hurt you. I won't let anything happen to you ever again. I promise.” he reassured me.
