CHAPTER FOUR
"What a night!” Kory sighed, slumping on the couch. She's terribly exhausted from that last performance. Her body aches a little, but assume she'd be fine, it’s norms for her.Kory had merely shut her eyes for a few seconds when the cricking of door could be heared. She thought it'd be one of the other strippers since they all share the same dressing room. However, after inhaling a strange scent, Kory stood up.She beheld a chummy looking guy around her age. He reeked of alcohol, not to talk of how dirty he appeared."Mister, this isn't the bathroom.” She snarled disgustingly at him. He didn't appear fazed by her scornful approach. Rather, he advanced sexually closer to her."C'mon baby, just a nightstand!" He muttered in a slurred voice staggering closer to her. He made to grab her arm. Kory who already figures out his intents; she was quick to slip away. She grabbed a hold of his arm instead, and with great strength, she twisted his arm backwards, earning a noisy pain from him as he cried out in travail."Look here you nigga, I'll fuck you up the next time you say shit like this to me, you gat it?" She threatened before letting him go. He ran off hurriedly like a chicken chased by his predator.As the guy left, another presence walked into the room. Kory was ready to lash out at whoever it was for getting the male chills, but her wolf started behaving weirdly.Her wolf whined and squealed like never before, getting Kory worried. Asides that, Kory inhaled a sweet scent. It was delightful and rarely refreshing."Wow, I got a feisty mate.” Thane grinned coquettishly at her."M...mate..??" Kory couldn’t one word straight as she stammered looking at the handsomely made man in front of her, disbelievingly of what’s happening.'Yes! He's our mate!!!..' her wolf squealed happily inside of her.Kory couldn’t believe her ears were working properly. She strongly believes that they are malfunctioning.Like what the fuck??As a werewolf, she knew that someday she was bound to have a mate. Of course, she always anticipated getting a mate. She dreamed every night and day of having a mate who would be kind, sweet and very protective of her. He would be very caring and shower her with endless love and affection.That had always been her idea of a perfect mate. During the mating ceremony, the moon goddess didn't give her one, much to the mockery of her parents, Kory wasn't spared the humiliation.Her mother for one, taunted her endlessly. Her father who was also the Pack’s Warrior’s Leader was very ashamed of her. Everyone in the family took turns in making her feel like a mistake for a being. But now, she has found a mate. Like... he even came to introduced himself to her!She wouldn't have believed his word but her wolf wouldn't dare lie to her. So, she has to believe him.Kory wasn't having any iota of doubt. She had just met him few seconds ago and yet she already feels attracted to him.The look on her face betrayed what she really felt inside. Thane isn't expecting her to accept him so quickly and wholeheartedly. He isn't in a hurry to have her. She'll eventually end up in his bed, so there's no need to rush."You're tongue-tied?" Thane said, smiling handsomely as he took slow strides towards her. Kory attempted to speak. Then again, her word box seemed dry."I'm shocked. Very shocked!" She replied, gaining back her composure."Call me Thane Hossler, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” He said to her in a charming tone as he outstretched his hand for a handshake.Kory got flustered by his words. He spoke so softly and smoothly she could swear he's melting her heart.She never knew anyone was capable of sounding so enticing. The way he spoke and his alluring appearence made her fell at ease."I'm Kory... Kory Anders.” She replied, finally shaking his hand. Thane felt the mildness of her palms. Her pale skin did appear sensitive to him.His mind began to wonder where her most sensitive spots might be located. Lewd thoughts flooded his head in an instant."What a beautiful name for a beautiful lady.” Thane flirter smoothly, lifting her hand as he leaned closer placing a light kiss on her hand. Kory almost shivered due to the rush of feelings that ran down her spine.How can this slight act of intimacy make her feel this way? She's already palpitating; The fuck...?She slipped her hands away from his and took a step backward. She can't start getting all mushy around him. She needs to set the ground rules to avoid getting underestimated or overlooked.Thane smriked at her gesture. It'll be a real treat in breaking down her walls of dignity. He simply can't wait to get started."Since we are both aware that we're mates, why don't we step outside to get more acquainted?" He said to her pleasantly."I'm sorry but I can't. It's already so late at night. Why don't we set up a date? Tomorrow would be okay! Maybe by noon?" Kory had technically set off the entire date by herself.She didn't even give him the slightest bit of opportunity to say a word. Well, he won't deny the fact that he hates conversing on irrelevant thingsIt is best that she is more straight forward. They both exchanged contacts and concluded on a perfect spot to have the little date."Let me see you out. I'll give you a ride in fact""No thank you. I brought a bike, I'll go on my own.” Kory was quick to response. He was expecting her to head towards the exit and she was expecting him to leave."Uh.... I kind of need some space to change. I can't possibly go back home dressed as a stripper.” She said to him with a wry smile."Oh... I'll be off then.” He flashed her another smirk, turned and left.The instant he stepped out of the dressing-room, she exhaled heavily. It sure wasn't easy for her to act that way in front of him.She never knew such a perfectly handsome person could exist. And to think, he's even her mate!Her wolf was already leaping in joy as she try to compose herself. She is overjoyed but at the same time cautious of him. That name, sure did ring a bell in her head. Kory stripped herself of the slutty outfit she wore.She cleaned the light make-up smeared on her face before she wore her normal clothing.Kory stole a glance at her wristwatch."Yikes! It's almost 1am. I need to get home and get some rest. I'm having a date tomorrow. Yay!!" Kory squealed gleefully.She took her handbag. She exited the club through her normal route. She got to her bike, hopped on and sped off home.Meanwhile, Thane could be seen in his limousine, getting driven back home.Lorraine was the driver since he came alone; no bodyguards whatsoever.As Lorraine drove, she occasionally stole glimpses at her Alpha. He seemed engrossed in thoughts again.Her hands tighten on the steering wheel as her mind drifted back to Kory. Her beauty is utterly irritating to Lorraine!Why would she get blessed with such blemish free skin and a flawless face to match?It wasn't fair; it isn't fair she gets bestowed with the beauty of 10 models. It's not fair to Lorraine why the Alpha paid little attention to her.But Kory?He only knew about her existence few days back, but look. He's already smitten by her.'I'll kill that bitch. I'll kill her!' Lorraine said in her head. Letting the jealousy in her feelings get the best of her.Thane glanced at her shortly. Apart from the visible scrowl on her face, he can clearly hear her thoughts through the mind-link. It's quite convenient how he can read her thoughts while she's oblivious of it."Lorraine?""Yes my Alpha.” She answered, in a low tone."Kory Anders, she's beautiful, isn’t she? Don't answer that. Look, tomorrow I'm going on a date with her.”Lorraine absent-mindedly hit the brakes. The car coming to an abrupt stop suddenly. Thane almost lost his balance since it came suddenly. His eyes were got mixed with a faint of sliver in it.If she doesn't provide a logical explanation, he'll severe her from her body."Do you desperately desire to die?!" Thane growled intimidatingly glaring at her.Lorraine gulped down nothing in fear. She didn't pull the brakes without a valid reason."Alpha Thane, I'm sorry for my rash action. I...spotted a strange car trailing after us ever since we left the club.” She managed to lie smoothly to him.Thane furrowed his eyebrows a little. Is she making things up or what."Then go down and check, don't act like a little b*tch!" He commanded, believing the lie she told him."Yes Alpha.”Lorraine brought out a gun from her belt buckle. She opened the car door and got down from the car.Cautiously, she walked away from the car. Her eyes and ears were extremely vigilant. Lorraine patrolled the car for some minutes before she went back in."You didn't see anyone, did you?” He questioned sounding suspicious."No Alpha. But I was certain that....""Don't explain. Drive!" He interrupted her coldly. She ignited the car engine and drove off again.'Who the fuck was that? Could it be Logan?' Thane thought. **NEXT MORNING**"I need you to do something for me.” He said to her, without taking his eyes from the document he held in his palm placed on his desk.Presently, he is in his study working on some files. It is almost 9am the morning and he is yet to have breakfast.He had woken up, taken a shower, wore a robe and then came straight to his study.Apart from being a mafia, he is also a business tycoon. You can imagine the stress of being an alpha, a mafia and also a business man at the same time!He's learned how to jungle with his three different personalities and combine them without getting suspicions arose. It's very stressful and hetic, but he has no choice.Lorraine as his Delta, stays with him in the mansion. Lorraine tried her best not to pant heavily.She's entirely sweaty and exhausted. She's been training crazily since the break of dawn."The CEO of phantomhive empire, he is popularly known as the shadow killer, right?""Yes Alpha. In the daytime he portrays himself as a commonly CEO, but in reality he's a drug dealer. Sometimes he also involves himself in organ harvesting. His victims are normally children who are underaged women. The police has been trying desperately to arrest him, but he manages to slip away from them due to lack of evidence none could put up against him.” She explained to him."I see.” He stroked his chin thoughtfully."Tonight I want him in the torture room, and that wasn't the only reason I called you here. You have been spying on her, haven't you?""Yes Alpha. Normally by this time, she visits the cafe.” She answered."Very well then. You know what to do, don't you?""Yes Alpha Thane.”**********"I wonder what I should wear? Would he like gowns, skirts or should I just go tomboy on him?" Kory said to herself as she ransacked her closet.She is done with her usual training; that is doing some squats, jumping jacks and maybe even some push-ups. She has to stay in her perfect shape.She is yet to have breakfast and the only thing bothering her is her date with her mate. She wants to leave a good first impression on him.She wouldn't call their first encounter good . He met her as a stripper in a slutty outfit! She needs to make up for lost time."I'll think about what to wear once I get back from the cafe. I'm fucking hungry!" Kory dashed into the bathroom.She soaked herself in the bathtub for a long period of time. When she was done, she went over to her dressing room where she dried her hair with the hair dryer.Kory decided to wear something simple. She wore a big t-shirts and a tight skinny Jean. She rolled her hair into a long ponytail and applied only lipgloss.She grabbed her wallet before dashing out. As she drove to the cafe, she couldn't help but have this overwhelming feeling that someone was spying on her.She shrugged the thought aside. Half an hour pass by and Kory could be seen in the classic cafe. A waitress came to her table and handed to her a cup of cappuccino with some doughnuts.She ate quickly, paid her bills and even bought some pastries. Kory made to open the door to the cafe, when someone else opens it before her.The door slammed violently on her nose and thus making it bleed.What the fuck!"Well, well, well look who got slammed this time!" Lorraine smirked victoriously at Kory. "Bitch what the hell is your problem? Are you stalking me or something!” Kory barked angrily at her."Stop barking!” Lorraine brushed past her striving to walk past her.She attempted to walk away when Kory suddenly caught her arm. Speedily, Kory punched Lorraine hard on the face.Lorraine struggled backwards in pain. Kory's crazily strong. She never thought Kory would be this tough. Kory herself couldn’t believe herself, she’s an omega and suppose to be the weakest. And yet she just made someone who she’s sure is a werewolf like her staggered. Well there’s nothing an anger can’t do, and Kory is crazily angry."Learn some manner, you Whore!" Kory scoffed loudly. She gave Lorraine a hard glare before leaving the scene.Lorraine touched her nose lightly. It's bleeding much to her irritation."I swear, I swear to gawd I’m gonna fuck her up!" Lorraine swore to herself.Kory kept fuming in anger as she went home. She had only gotten closer when her nose got the smell of..... something buring.Her heart beat got faster as the fire got into view and could be seen burning a house. That's her....house!!Kory accelerated her speed."No...!" Kory cried out in horror as she got down hurriedly form her bike, she watched her house burn in flames.She fell to the ground, tears seeped into her eyes as she drenched her face with it. How could this happen to her!?Kory was down on her ground with her palms covering her mouth and still crying when she got the wiff of the same scent."Thane...?” She muttered to herself.She lifted her eyes to look at him and truly, it's him!"Kory!” He smiled...at her for the first time. One that tied a knot in Kory’s stomach, unbeknownst to her that behind the smile is a devilish smirk.CHAPTER FIVEKory's lips couldn't stop quivering in shock, her expression helped the matter. She's shocked because of two things; one is the sudden fire outbreak of her house, and the other is the appearance of Thane.‘Why in the hell's name is he here? What is he doing here?’ It runs through her mind as she stared dazzlingly at him.Kory ogled at him shockingly for almost a full minute. Thane chuckled as he saw the countenance on her face. Of course, he wasn’t expecting her not to get stunned. “It's not proper for a lady to seat on the bare grass.” Thane said, stretching his hand for her to grab. Still speechless, she placed her hand on his. Thane pulled her up and she stood. She seemed very shaken by the recent turn of events. Most important, her main focus was on him. “What are you doing here? Why are you here?” Kory questioned all at once. She can't continue to hid her curiosity. Thane gave out brief laughter. 'What's funny about this situation?' Kory scoffed mentally at him.
CHAPTER SIX“Oh, did I forget to mention that?” Thane responded cheekily to an astonished Kory. Kory's jaw dropped absent-mindedly in disbelief. He forgot to tell her. Kory couldn’t helped but think Thane is one of the Alphas that has no emotions or whatever, but then he was nice and sweet to her when they met.What sort of lame excuse is that? Kory bite her inner cheeks slowly. She's beginning to blame herself for not getting to know him thoroughly before concluding to stay at his place. Yes, his mansion is the most glamorous thing she's ever seen In her entire life, yet, she can't help but get more and more suspicious of him. Her wolf isn't in agreement with her, though. Her wolf keeps insisting how lucky they are for the moon goddess to fate them with such a kind-hearted mate. Kory waved that thought aside. Her eyes wandered off to Lorraine, who's still glaring at her. She doesn't feel comfortable about this anymore. Who is Lorraine to Thane, anyway?Kory is also uncertain abou
CHAPTER SEVENKory senses twitched to what she heard. “This has got to be a dream!” Kory kept repeating that same word countless time in her head.She can't believe that any of this is actually reality. How can she? Everything is unfolding so quickly, her brain can't process it. ‘What the fuck does he mean by get on the bed? Where is the sweet, kind and considerate Thane she knew moments back? Where is that personality? What happened to him?!’ Those questions ran through Kory’s mind.Kory's back eventually met with the wall. She kept staring at him with fear evident on her face while looking for the man she met in the club. Now, she's blaming herself for leaving the room. She only wanted to go grab a can of water when she inhaled his scent and Lorraine's. Her imaginations began to run wild, making her think of so many obscene thoughts. She couldn't stop herself from thinking they might both be in the middle of having an intercourse. Thus, she tracked them down, only to find them a
CHAPTER EIGHTKory's face fell into despair, the little ray of hope she had just came shattering right in front of her very eyes. After she spent hours thinking really hard last night, Lorraine was her only hope. Lorraine wants Thane all to herself, Kory thought she'd be happy once she disappears. Yet, Lorraine doesn't want her to leave, she wants her to stay and get degraded. Why? Just why is her life filled with so many drastic turns!Why can't she simply enjoy the good things in life? Is she bound to eternal suffering?Thinking of it made her regret leaving the pack. Living in constant humiliation is better than living a life of a sex slave by the hands of your mate, right?Which is better? No one, to be honest. She'll surely suffer from the trauma one way or the other; she can't escape the fate the moon goddess has designed for her. “Once you're done thinking about your sad life, kindly get your ass off that wall!” Lorraine yelled in a disdain-filled tone at her. She inserted
CHAPTER 9 **NIGHT** Her hair was packed into a ponytail as usual and the black suit she wore fitted her perfectly, bringing out the uniqueness in her shape. Lorraine wore huge black shades and made sure to keep a straight face. Thane stood in front of them, dressed in a white suit as usual. Kory felt extremely nervous; it's not like it's her first time attending a party like this but.What if what happened earlier replayed itself?She may appear to be okay when she's been called a slut or a stripper, but in the inside she's dying. The long flowing white gown swept the floor as she cat walked in with Lewis who held her armSo many comments was quick to rant the air, but the main question was; Who is she??Thane Hossler is known as a dangerous person, but now he shows up with an enchanted beauty. Maybe she's his girlfriend. Many were quick to assume that. “I want Laura Brown tonight.” Thane chipped firmly to Lorraine. “Yes Alpha,” she gave a light bow before leaving. The part
CHAPTER TENThane stared at the unconscious figure on the bloodstained sheets and felt a pang of guilt hit him. He was done with her. He grimaced when his heart suddenly started to ache painfully. The guilt was so intense that it began to hurt. He frowned confusingly and raised a hand to rub that spot gingerly. He caressed the part of his chest that the heart is located, but nothing worked to soothe his pain.His wolf, who's already drained out due to how much he yelled at Thane during his violation of Kory, didn't say a word; much to the appreciation of Thane. He turned around and strolled to the dressing table in the room and then frowned when he saw this because he couldn't recollect when he had a dressing table fixed in the room. 'It's probably the handiwork of this manipulative snitch… What the heck has she done to this room?' Thane sneered as he stared at the reflection of his naked body in the mirror. His phallus still as erected as ever, as he hadn't just released multiple
CHAPTER ELEVEN"She'll be awake soon. Let's go prepare some herbal tea for her, it'll help her greatly.” One of the old maid said, her gaze fixed on Kory while she wore a pitiful expression. Most of the maids who were tasked to take care of Kory, couldn't help but feel sorry for her. They're all female; most of them have experienced sexual intercourse and they all know how painful the first time normally is. And to think, she got violated in such a brutal way. They all felt sorry for her except one, the lady disguised as an old lady. While others were feeling sorry for her, she was visibly angry and filled with hate for Kory. Kory on the other hand was still unconscious, she got dressed in a long free gown and her hair got sported into a ponytail. She's been treated, bathed and dressed neatly. "Let's go" the head maid; Lady Marian ordered. They all trailed after her as she went out; The strange lady exclusive. She kept glaring at Kory with so much hate In her eyes. The lady mov
CHAPTER TWELVE“How…how did it all go so wrong? Why am I here?” The girl held down in chains sobbed sadly. She can feel her wrist burning as hell, her legs were asleep and numb, her eyes are drowsy, sticky, red, and puffy. She isn't bothered about the soreness of her wrists, she isn't concerned about the hunger and the persistent pains she's feeling at her spines, the aches surrounding her body, all she cares about is getting home. Not only that, but she wants to go home, go back to her family and loved ones. Why did she even get kidnapped? Who kidnapped her?What wrong has she done to anyone? She's lived a peaceful, happy and mindful life. Laura doesn't butt in to other's affair. She's diligent and tries to be the best daughter, senior sister and friend anyone could ever ask for. She’s make sure her life doesn’t have a stain that might to getting anyone near her hurt.However, she never thought her peaceful living would actually anger someone. Reminiscing about her past life, she c
