“No!” I whispered under my breath and hoping that I was seeing an illusion. “No, no, no, no, no.” I repeated the words as if they would save me but I knew I was doomed.
I turned on the ignition but the car wouldn’t start. I tried it again and again but to no avail and I finally started to cry when he lifted his left hand and I saw a few wires.
“Get out.” I heard him say but I shook my head, “I will not repeat myself again.” I opened the door slowly and got out and he smiled. “Now come to me.”
I took a step forward but then changed my mind last minute and turned on my heels and ran. I heard him chuckle slightly before he started to follow.
I ran as fast as I could into the woods. I could hear him behind me and prayed I could outrun him. I would rather die than let father catch me. I had barely finished the thought when I felt him grab m
True to Alpha Hunter’s words a doctor came in to treat my injuries as soon as he left but to my surprise he didn’t bandage me up and he didn’t give me a pain killer so I couldn’t sleep all through the night because of the pain. When Alpha Hunter came in the next morning I had barely slept a wink and he noticed because he took one look at me and shook his head in disappointment.“If you won’t sleep on your own Charlotte then I will be forced to have you drugged. I can’t have you looking like a zombie.” He said as two guards came in and set up a hospital bed at the far end of the room.I looked at it in confusion and turned back to Alpha Hunter who just gave me a small smile. “On the bed,” was all he said and I obeyed because I knew it would reduce my punishment. I stood on shaky legs and made my way over to the bed.“On your stomach.” He clar
I have been here for five days and if my calculations are correct then the wedding should be any day from now. It could even be today for all I know.Since Liana came I haven’t gotten any visitors except Alpha Hunter who comes every morning and evening unfailingly to give his daily dose of torture. I was waiting for his arrival this morning and I had already braced myself for whatever torture he had cooked up for me, but I was shocked when he opened the cell but didn’t walk in. I shot him a confused look but he simply smiled and held out his left hand.“Come Charlotte; you get to be free today.” He said but I still stared at him, “I don’t like to be kept waiting; get up now before I change my mind.”A part of me wanted to tell him to suck it and stay down here forever but then I saw the look he sent to one of the guards and I realized what he issue was; he felt disrespected.
I couldn’t sleep all night. Each tick of the clock was a reminder that my freedom was slowly slipping away and I had very little time left to do anything about it.I spent the entire night thinking and brainstorming ideas, anything that could get me out of this wedding and short of being pregnant for another man, I couldn’t think of any more options except running away but I know after the last attempt they wouldn’t be so careless with their security.I heard the door knob rattle and I turned just in time to see Carmen and Liana walk into my room. I instantly sat up straight and watched them as they strolled into the room without a care in the world.“What are you doing here?” I couldn’t help but ask but they both ignored me and came to stand by my bed. “Get up,” it was Carmen who spoke.&l
The stream was about five minutes away and I immediately jumped in and tore my dress off and let it float downstream.True to Aubrey’s words there were some clean clothes and I quickly put them on and continued my journey.I don’t know how far I ran but I ran until I came to a busy street and from the smell that assaulted my nose I knew it was dominated by humans. I can blend in here and no one will ever find me.I made my way over to the payphone but cursed when I realized I didn’t have any money on me.“Are you okay dear?” I heard a woman ask from behind me and I turned and gave her a small nod. “I am thank you.” I said with a small smile.“I think I have a few coins here if you need one,” she said as she rummaged through her purse and handed me a quarter. “You lo
I have been staying with Greg for two weeks and honestly it’s not as bad as I initially thought. I was scared of him at first but now I know that Greg is just a teddy bear underneath all that aggression.I’ve been helping out at his grocery store to earn my keep and so far I haven’t heard or even seen a single person from my old pack. I’m finally free and it feels so good although it hasn’t stopped me from glancing over my shoulder every time.It was awkward at first having to stay with someone and accept favors from someone I don’t even know but we got into an easy routine by the second day and he has only two house rules.Don’t forget to spray the potion every day.Do the chores and clean up after yourself.I’ve also been
Jake has been here every day for the past week and I have been doing my very best to avoid him. It’s hard and I hate to say that I have not succeeded.At first I would leave the counter when I see him but he would wait outside until I finish my shift and I’m heading home so he can ask me out on a date.His persistence is actually cute and honestly if he wasn’t a Beta I could see myself going out with him but I am avoiding the werewolf world at all costs right now. The only thing that can take me back there would be to find my mate and as long as I stay here in this human town that chance is pretty much nonexistent.As usual he walked in by 2: 15 pm and I watched him as he picked up the same things he always does: eggs, milk, sugar, flour, cheese, bacon and watermelons. I already know his list by heart and he never misses a single thing any day and sometimes I wonder if he eats the same thing every day;
I was already dreading the date from the moment I woke up. I went about my day with my thoughts running around in my head. In fact, I was so in my own head that customers actually noticed and Greg had to give me a ten minute break to (and I quote) “Get my head back into the game”.“Are you alright today dear?” Mrs. Wiggins asked snapping me out of my thoughts and I quickly nodded and gave her a small smile, “You’ve just been so out of it today; I’ve been watching you since I walked in.” “It’s okay Mrs. Wiggins; I’m fine.” I said, “I’m just thinking.”“Are you sure?” she asked again and I nodded, “If you’re feeling a bit under the weather then I’m sure Greg will be more than happy to give you the rest of the day off.”
True to his words Jake has never bothered me for a date or anything romantic and he doesn’t come to the store every day anymore; he comes once a week- Tuesday to be exact. And although I didn’t ask why’ he offered up the information himself; he has to go back home every week because his “friend” needs him.I knew he couldn’t stay away from his pack for too long. In fact I wonder why his Alpha let him stay away this long in the first place. Father would have never allowed it.I pushed all thoughts of Jake out of my mind and focused on getting ready for the day but something didn’t feel right. I paused what I was doing to think about it then I realized- Greg wasn’t yelling at me to hurry up.“Greg,” I yelled as I poked my head out of the door, “Is everything okay?”Everywhere was quiet for a second and I was about to go looking for
