Chapter two: Worse than a nightmare

Ember

His angular facial feature was hidden under the red and blue light making him look more mysterious and unpredictable.

"Bunny.." His low voice was husky and deep, sounding as seductive as not his straight face.

"Let go." I sneered coldly.

However, his silence was a fuel to my already burning rage.

"Let go, you bastard!" I banged my fists on his chest for a good amount of time, but he doesn't budge which angers me more.

"You asshole Rowan!! Why won't you just let me rest, why have you come after me again? I ran from you, why won't you just fucking stop!" Fresh tears spilled out my face as I vent my anger on him, but he didn't stop me, instead he let me do it.

I rolled my eyes and effortlessly pushed him back, his grip on my waist releasing on their own accord.

My hands blindly moved about as it touched what I was looking for, I grabbed a bottle of wine on the table next to me, and handed it to him, "Open it for me."

I wasn't expecting him to take the wine, but instead of opening it, he placed it back on the table. I felt displeased as I tried to pull his collar, but I lost balance and fell into his chest instead.

"You drank enough." He replied to my question for the first time that night, just that he gave the wrong one.

I bit my lips with discontentment, I balled my fist, ready to hit him again, but this time, he caught my fist and lowered his head to whisper, "Didn't you think you're doing enough to a person you're meeting for the first time bunny?"

This arrogant voice again, although I couldn't control myself, but I wasn't exactly out of my mind, "Give it back."

"And what if I don't?"

"Then...then.. I will, I'm going toooo–" I couldn't find the right words so I pressed my lips together.

He leaned closer again as his hand pulled me closer to himself, as if to instigate our body together, his lips brushed against my ear whispering , "I asked you what you're doing here all by yourself at this time of the night little bunny, but you ended up throwing tantrum."

I had enough of them being so arrogant, even though I couldn't see this man clearly, but the tone of his voice was both arrogant and seductive.

I might be drunk but not dumb, so I could now guess a little that this man was not Rowan as I had earlier thought.

Rowan body doesn't tower over me like this, and his tone wasn't as domineering as this, but I couldn't tell if it was due to the alcohol or my messed state of mind, I found myself pressing my body to his even tighter, I was a drunken mess, but I still slurred, "Maybe to find a predator as yourself."

I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I saw his lips curled up and a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes. He leaned in and said as low as I could hear at that moment, "Then aren't you afraid of being eaten up alive like this?"

His hot breath fanned my neck, as I felt tremors run through my entire body, "Do you dare to eat me up?"

There was that same smug expression on his face as he snapped his fingers, then I sensed someone approaching us, he said something to the person as the person walked away again, "You asked for this, so don't you blame me later, because I'm going to make you scream all night."

And with that, he swept me off my feet and carried me in his arms, the music was still playing, but I could hardly listen, until I could no longer hear anything else.

He threw me on the bed, and from then our clothes left our bodies. I was in his embrace, he came in between my legs, I was a muddlehead as we went all the way, he slammed into me and I was ready to receive it. I couldn't tell how much we did it that night, but everything soon blackened as I fell asleep.

*****

When I woke up, I wanted to sit up but I felt some pains where I shouldn't have. The first thing that came to my mind was that I had finally done it with Rowan, but the moment my eyes went to look at the unfamiliar man sleeping beside me, his hand rested in between my legs.

His eyes were tightly shut, I gasped silently as my palms quickly flew to cover my mouth.

I could see the blood stain on the bed sheet, then everything came to me.

Rowan slept with Astrid, and I left the pack house feeling hurt and drank myself into stupor... And.. and I went into bed with another man? In what way am I different from Rowan now?

"Oh goodness..." I had done such a shameful thing, he must not wake, so I quietly slipped out of the bed, my hands gently moved as I wore my dress, reaching out to my shoes. I didn't dare wear them as I tiptoed out of the room.

I don't know what time it was, because I don't even know how I had gone with my purse, I couldn't find it, so was my phone. I was feeling my head throbbing...

Ugh hangover!

I wasn't really bothered about the phone, because I could still retrieve my line and get a new phone, so the main thing I should be concerned about was that I just gave my virginity to a man I didn't know under the influence of alcohol!

I had to get home first, I shifted into my wolf and jumped into the woods running as fast as I could to my house, I didn't know how I should face Astrid, knowing my dad would be sad and disappointed if he learned that the woman he sacrificed his health for and became paralyzed was fucking with another man.

I didn't want to think about it so I kept running until I got back to the pack house. I immediately went back home and shifted back to my human form, but the moment I closed the door behind me, my heart raced rapidly in my chest.

I could smell blood, it was so thick as if it was right in front of me.

When I looked down, my eyes widened with fear and panicky as I squatted next to the body of my father laying in his own pool of blood on the ground, with a silver knife plunged into his heart.

"Dad... dad.. please wake up dad, don't do this to me, please dad!! Wake up!!" I kept shaking his body as I screamed like a deranged woman, tears tardily came out of my eyes as I held his cold body in my arms, calling him with anguish as if he would wake up and answer me.

"Phone... Phone..." I have to get to my phone and call the ambulance, but I remember that I couldn't find it.

My hands were covered with his blood, but I couldn't care less as I hugged his cold body screaming. I was just about to go out and look for help when a bright red light penetrated through the window and flashed into the room.

"The police are here, you're surrounded, drop your weapon and come out." I heard a voice over the megaphone.

"Do not let us repeat ourselves, I will count to five and if you fail to come out, we are coming in."

"Five.."

"Four"

I helplessly looked around, I didn't kill my father, I loved my father. Why would I kill him?

"Two".

"One!" I heard a bang as they kicked the door to my home open, I looked up at them with my tear stained face, someone killed my dad and called the police.

It's a set up, I was set up.

They handcuffed me and pushed me like I'm some bloody criminal out of the house, I took one more glance at my house as more tears came out.

The pack policeman pushed me into the car and slammed the door shut.

That day Ember Flynn died.
