Her Worst Nightmare

Chapter 5: Her Worst Nightmare

Madeline

I knew he wasn't going to rest until he got me, but I never expected Him to show up all of a sudden, in my work place. If I had known the devil himself was going to walk in today, I would have skipped my shift like usual, but I guess I can't hide from him forever.

I was already at the parking lounge, about to unlock my car when I heard it. whispering out my name like a song. And the moment my eyes fell on him, my whole body froze. I recognised him immediately even though I wished the voice wasn't his.

My skin pricked with dread as he leaned closer to me, my instinct screaming at me to run but deep down, I knew I couldn't. I just have to pretend like I don't know what's going on. Like maybe that would save me.

Even though I hated him now, I wouldn't lie. He's changed in the past six years. He had grown taller, stronger, and handsome in a way that made my chest ache with old memories. He's way more attractive than William, but who cares? Looks don't matter. And I'm not going to eat love in the relationship. I would still choose William over him because he loves me and takes care of my children.

He also makes me his first choice even though I was meant to be treated as a second choice, after being used by rowan.

Waves of dread washed over me as Rowan words sank into me. Repeating itself like an endless ringtone.

Firstly,he wants me to accept him as his mate, secondly I would be his bride, thirdly if I let his father die, would my children and husband pay with their lives?

Scary, and hilarious.

it made no sense to me at all, how did his men find me? Because I could still vividly remember covering my scent with wolfsbane years ago when I escaped out of the moon crest pack. My reason was for him not to be able to trace my scent, I thought I was free but I guess nothing lasts forever.

I know the kind of person he was six years ago. Probably more ruthless now than he was. And I know if I retaliate he would kill my husband who has been captured by his men.

Neither would things end there. He will also kill my children. His children. I don't want him to know about them. I'll do all I can to keep them away from him. To make sure he never finds out about them.

“Maybe you should have come with them when I summoned you.” his deep Baritone voice echoed in, making my chest squeeze tight and my heart panting in fear.

“Time is running out, If you don't make your choice now, I'd finish with him first, and then move with your children.”

His children*

Our Children*

The thought of him killing William and finding out about the triplets I've been keeping away from him made my heart ache and my body trembling in fear.

“I will do it,” I whispered in a hushed tone “Whatever you want me to do, I will do it. As long as you don't harm my husband and children.” And with a panic tone and hitching breath, I whispered to him. Trying to make him understand I would do anything, just to protect those I love. Same way he would do anything, to protect his father.

“Good. Now that's the obedient Madeline I knew. Now get in the car, let me take you back to where you belong.”

I didn't argue, I couldn't. I opened the door and slid into the passenger seat.

My hands wouldn't stop trembling, my heart wouldn't stop racing. I thought about calling someone to check on the triplets before William would get home, but I couldn't even reach for my phone. I was too scared of what Rowan might do if he notices.

Curious to know why he hasn't started the car, I tilted my head to his direction and found him looking at me, in a way I can never understand.

“Look at you.” He murmured with eyes filled with adoration. “The last time I saw you, you were a shy, naive girl. But now, you've turned into a strong, gorgeous woman who I'm proud of.”

His words made me scoff, and my eyes burned with fury. Even though I might have loved him six years ago, I hate him now. And his existence, his presence made my skin crawl in repulsion.

Even though I was scared of him, I couldn't hide the hatred in my eyes, how my lips curled up in distaste whenever he's staring at me. I couldn't hide it. I wanted him to know how much I wish he would have died all those years.

“Just relax. Embrace yourself for the new Life you're about to start.” With that, he ignited the car and drove out of the parking lot.

The urge to scream and beg for help etched my head badly, but I swallowed it. Pulling people's attention would only make things worse. It will only endanger my husband and children's lives.

So I sat there quietly, trembling, forcing myself to play the prey. While the predator drove me into his world of hell and submission.
