ALINA

I guess fate had compensated for the mess it put me in.

I ran to the window, the scene was just like yesterday, with people running around and falling down and unknown men ensuing chaos.

I saw James run to the centre of the ground and kill three men at once.

That was when it dawned on me that this might be my chance to escape.

I ran to the door trying to pry it open but the bastard had locked the door from outside, there was no way I was going to stay here and wait for him to come back, so I looked around for anything that could help me open the door but there were no bobby pins around.

The only other places were the chimney and the window. I weighed my options. I didn't know the last time the chimney had been cleaned and I didn't know what demons lay in wait up there. So I just went to the only other option left.

The window.

But there was a problem.

The only way I could pass that window was if I was ten years younger but I couldn't stay here so I ran to the window and opened it and started calling for help.

“Help! Can anybody hear me?!”

Of course, no one could hear me because everybody was busy running for their lives.

Who on earth were these men anyway?

They didn't look familiar at all and James and his men were having a hard time facing them.

And just then, Hailey came to my rescue just like before. She was a Godsend angel.

“What on earth are you doing here? I've been looking all over the place for you. We need to go now.”

The window is too small. I can't climb out of it and that bastard locked the door. She looked around and suddenly ran away.

A few minutes later, I heard the door knob rattling. She dragged me out once the door was opened and dragged me through the house.

“How did you get the door open?”

“You don't want to know.” She replied, breathing heavily.

We ran outside hand in hand scaling through all the chaos that was going on in the compound.

Hailey turned to me

“All we have to do is get to that gate and make a run for it.”

That seemed easy to say but with the amount of dead bodies and blood that was already on the floor, it seemed like the hardest thing to do.

Hailey didn't give me a heads-up before she made a run for it, leaving me standing there and waiting for the right opportunity.

She stopped at the gate and then turned around giving me a small nod, telling me it was my turn.

All i had to do was be fast so, I took a deep breath and used my legs.

I could already see the gate so close to me with Hailey waiting for me there when a sharp pain shot through my skull and I was thrown to the ground by my hair.

As I lay on the hot gravel facing the scorching sun, a man towered over me.

“Where do you think you're going.”

Instead of answering him, I focused on giving Hailey a signal to run away. For some reason, she kept standing at the gate, waiting to get caught.

The man on top me, pulled me up by my hair and I stood to face him.

“Get in line and join the others, the Alpha wants to know who's on our side.”

I walked in front of him. I slightly turned my head to check if Hailey was still standing there but the place was empty.

A slight relief shot through me. She got away. I was happy for that.

They rounded up with a few others from the last and put us all in a straight line.

The man that brought me turned to a guard beside him.

“Get the boss. Tell him we are ready.”

I wondered what kind of trouble this was now. As I was looking around trying to see if anyone looked familiar, I heard the gravel behind me crunch.

“Alpha, these are the remaining.”

I wonder if James is dead. He surely deserves-

“If you know you are not a Lycan, step out before I find you myself.”

That voice…

Why did it sound so familiar.

My heart got caught in my throat as I stared into those same grey eyes from yesterday.

What was he doing and who was he?

A few people stepped out at his order and he gave a signal.

Gun shots rippled through the air but nothing was enough to snap me out of the daze that I was already in.

I had given my virginity to the Wolf Slayer.

As their bodies dropped to the floor, his eyes settled on me as if giving me a silent warning.

“For those of you left, I pray for your own sake that you are safe. If I check and find out that you disobeyed me, I will make you wish for something worse than death.”

The amount of blood that was racing to my head almost made me pass out.

It was said that the Wolf Slayer had great sense of smell and that he could smell wolves from a mile away which meant he could also smell my bullshit from a mile away.

I would surely die now. I should have just run off with Hailey when I had the chance.

One after the other, they shot those they found to be wolves until it got to my turn. I held my breath because I thought somehow it would hide my scent.

He towered over me staring deep into my eyes and at once all the events of last night came flooding back.

I feared that he might remember me but my fears were diminished when he leaned into my neck and took a deep whiff of me and just for a slight second, I joined my ancestors.

He cupped my face and caressed my skin looking deep into my eyes.

“It's you. My mate, the one I've been waiting for all my life. I'm never going to let you go now.”

Screw fate, always putting me in messes that I couldn't control.

The first time, I was mated to a monster and this time around, to a man the monster feared.

The Wolf Slayer.
