CHAPTER V

Lyka's P.O.V

This room has been like a prison to me for the last three weeks. It has been my routine to wake up, freshen up and then go sit near this huge window for hours thinking of ways I can escape this hell hole. Beyond this villa, there are woods. I know they lead somewhere, somewhere I can find my freedom. It's not that I am a prisoner in here but I feel like one. I decided to never leave this room ever since that meeting. For the past few weeks, mom has been persuading me to forgive her, to go out of the room but I don't feel like it. I just don't feel like forgiving her yet in spite of the explanations she's tried to give me.

 " had to protect you Lyka. You are very special to us." she explained. "I don't give a damn about anything." I snarled. "Lyka, you are the next alpha. You mean a lot to these people, to me." "You mean to tell me that i am a monster? Is that what you are trying to tell me?" I asked irritably. "We are not monsters dear, it's just we are different from other people." "Different," I scoffed. "Are youeven listening to yourself?" "Dear you have to understand, everything might be confusing but I can promise to explain more if you come out of this room.''

I have heard enough of me being a werewolf, a monster. She even." persuaded me to go to the burial of my alleged mom which I declined angrily. I wasn't going to burry a stranger because everyone is telling me she's my real mom. To me she's a total stranger, no mom would just give away their child. My real mom is dead, am a monster. My mom told me she's a monster too. Everything is too much for me to process. I want to go far away from here through those woods. I haven't seen Mr. Harry or Gabriel ever since the meeting. He hasn't come to my room once and it's for the better. I don't want to see that beautiful face anymore that I loathe so much now.

Every single night I watch guards patrol the villa and by now am used to their routine. In a matter of hours, I will be free from this place and it's craziness. The more I stay here, the more am going to get crazy too. I can't call Sam, how would I tell her about all this. She will just freak out like me. This is too much for me to handle. I have stayed in this room for many days, it has become my safe haven but am not sure about that yet, I am yet to find out. As usual at eight, the maid I have learned to know her name is Lillian brings my food which I rarely touch or eat a little.

When she closes the door behind her, I regain my surveillance noticing the bearded bald head and the blonde on guard as usual. I have a plan and today is my day to initiate the plan. I wait for the clock to strike ten when I know the villa is dead silent. When Lillian came to pick my dishes, I asked her to sneak me a bottle of red wine. She had done it pretty well although she was skeptical about what I would use it for. I had lied to her that I needed a drink for everything in my life that's happening. She's a nice girl that I have got to know. She thought she was helping me for being helpless but the bitch I am, I am thinking of something else. Something she'll hater for but that's less of my fears now. I get up and walk to the wardrobe selecting the tiny short little dress that would do the job pretty well. I add crushed powder of the sleeping pills to the wine. When I am ready, I open the door quietly peeking in the hallway which is clear.

I tiptoe quickly and quietly until I find the kitchen. I get two glasses and make sure I avoid the guards that pass by. When it is clear, I walk to the entrance door and open it. My heart is pumping fast with every step i make away from the house.. I know I am risking everything but I have to do this. As soon as I get out, my skin meets with the chilly air. I ignore the goose bumps on my skin and stealthily walk to the bald head and his friend. I compose myself as I walk nearer making sure I have my best seductive smile on. It's show time. "Miss you can't be here." the bald head stopped me. "Is that so? I want some company." I seductively smile at him raising my bottle at him and I can see him swallow hard as his eyes rake my cleavage. Great job Lyka.

"Does Sir Gabriel know you are here? You can't be here." the blonde intervened. Mr. Harry seems to be a feared man here but I shrug it off. I don't care if he has to say anything because I am on a mission now and no one will ruin it and not these idiots. "Does it matter if he knows or he doesn’t? This place gets boring most times and I need company." I pout sadly. "Sir Gabriel will kill us if he finds out you are here. It's not safe." the bald said. Now I was losing my calm and patience with all this Merry go round. Don't they see the hot sexy woman in front of them? "I want to share my sorrow with you guys and I know I am safe with you. Just one glass. Sir Gabriel doesn't need to know." I plead viciously with my best puppy eyes. They always work, they worked on Mr. Harry.

"Okay, one glass." The blonde accepted. "Sir Gabriel is not going to like this when he finds out." The bald head muttered hesitantly. I wickedly poured each a glass and pretended to drink from the bottle smiling seductively at them. Yay, good job Lyka. After a while, the two men are out and this is my chance to escape. I don't look back as I run as fast as my legs could take me. Needles of leaves pricking at my skin, the chilly air making my breathing difficult and scratches from branches. I am determined to make it far away before they even realize am gone. I don't stop at any moment. I hear the chapping of crickets but I put them at the back of my head, the only sound I hear is my feet on the thick undergrowth. It's dark and the darkness is making of difficult for me to see where am going but I have to run for my sanity.

As I continue my running wildly, I am trapped in a pair of strong calloused hands. I am in shock and scared now. Have they found me? Oh God. At this part of the forest, I can see the half moon. When I try to peek at the intruder, I can just figure out his silhouette which is huge and has shoulder length hair. I am struggling with my strong intruder and that's when I hear noises from behind me. Bright light from their torches evades my eyes making me squint them painfully. Two other figures emanate from behind me helping my intruder. I can't fight them, they are stronger than me.

''Look what we have here." a gruff voice says against my cheek. I can tell that he's sniffing my hair and the act is disgusting me. "Please let me go." I beg. "Not so fast beautiful. We are just starting." he replied sniffing me again. I am already disgusted with his cheap cigar breath mixed with alcohol. I kick him in the nuts and before I make it far, I am held to the ground now by his minions. Ouch! My ribs are hurting now and with the way they are holding me down, I am sure my hands are bruised. I shout pleading to them to let me go but they raise me to my feet so I could face the man I assume is their boss.

"Let me go please." I whimper helplessly. Before I can say anything again, a spontaneous slap meets my cheek making me bite my tongue in the process. It fuckin hurts. "Keep it down slut," the man at my side cruelly commands raking my outfit with his torch and eyes. "You know the Whitrows? You smell like those idiots." the man on my other side sniffed my hair. "I don't know them, leave me alone please." I fight against their hands restraining me but it's all in vain and causes my body to hurt the more. "I am losing my patience here baby. Better open your m..." I spit at his face. I am now terrified with the scowl on his face. I think I just woke up the lion. Before I get time to regret what I have done, I feel the hard fist to my jaw. The pain is unbelievable and I think I lost my teeth. I can feel the rust taste in my mouth.

"Boss, what should we do with her? Shouldn't we take her to the temptress?" the man on my left asked. Temptress "Shut up! The temptress can fuck herself. I think this bitch needs a lesson. What do you say we have party boys?" No, this was not happening. These men are planning on gang raping me. It's very obvious with the way they are seductively looking at me like I was a piece of meat. I am regretting my decision of running away because I need help now. We are in the woods and no one would save. Your stupidity led you to this. I fight with all my might if it's what am supposed to do but they are stronger than and before I know, am against a tree with three greedy men in front of me.

Their boss attacks my neck with his disgusting sloppy kisses. I am going to pass out from this cruelty. I am shouting at the top of my voice for help while I plead for them to leave me but the man continues his assault. His filthy hands are on my ass while the others giggle and hooray enjoying the show. I kick, scream but I have no hope. I am suffocating now with this man's filthy hands on my body. Somebody help me. His hands move on my exposed thighs the act making want to vomit. I can feel the bile in my mouth.

"Stay put bitch before I hit you again." he orders but I continue my fight. I won't allow this to happen to me. The tears flowing from my eyes are unstoppable but these men continue with their disgusting act and degrading comments. "We are going to teach the Whitrows a lesson." they laugh disgustedly. "You like that huh?" he smirks and I stamp him on his feet. "Bitch! I am going to teach you a lesson." he sneers hiking my dress in a second aguishly. "Let me go." "Shut up bitch or I will make you. I am tired of your voice." he pointed the barrel against my head. I am scared now. I have never been scared like this my entire life.

I let out small whimper as his fingers glide against the skin of my inner thighs. I feel disgusted with everything as each second passes. I hear his fingers at the top of my panties and I want to pass out. Here it goes, going to be raped in an unknown forest and after my dead body will be trashed God knows where. This is not what I thought my life would be ending but I guess we have no say in our lives. I close my eyes not wanting to see this immoral man taking advantage of my body.
