A Monster Named Henry

Natalie POV

“So you are the woman Richard married “ a powerful voice washed over me,his grip tightened as he reeked of alcohol making my tummy churn.

The masculine voice felt strange which made me uneasy.

“Natalie hill” he said and my stomach dropped.

The sound of my name rolling down his lips caused my heart to stutter in fear.

His hand pressed against my waist with his hold tightened around me refusing to let me go.

A shiver of disgust rolled down my spine at his touch.

I could feel his body heat wash over me with pain erupting violently in my head.

My heart sank and my wolf growled low in my chest.

I let out a hoarse sob as tears kept running down my face.

“ Who are you?” I demanded as he shoved me harder, slamming my back at the edge of the wall.

He grabbed my jaw squeezing it hard and I winced as the pain hit my grip due to the harsh grip.

I suppressed a gasp as soon my gaze laid on him wide eyed.

He shot me a small smirk , his face remained blank with his heavy gaze boring into mine.

His eyes dropped to my lips looking at me with something dark full of fire that was so hard to kill which made my skin crawl.

“Not bad since your husband can't satisfy your needs right now I'm happy to step in “ he whispered licking his lips seductively and I cried explosively with pride dripping from his words.

He chuckled and with an evil glint which didn't waver on his face making me restless.

I felt disdain with a wave of embarrassment running through me.

My shoulders dropped in horror, frozen on the spot as I was no match for the man in front of me.

I felt weak and dead inside ,sweat beaded across my brow as tears fell from my eyes scalding against my icy cheeks.

“You are not my husband so get away from me “ I said whimpering with pain in my body .

“This is what makes it fun,” he replied, tossing me onto the bed like I was his plaything.

The words were so cold that made an ominous shiver run down my spine with a mixture of humiliation and rage.

My claws elongated instantly and I slashed him across his face with my trembling hand,each cut deeper than the last .

He stumbled backwards , staring at me as blood dripped down his face.

“That hurt girl “ his face was pale, glancing at me in disbelief with a straight face.

“Stay away “ I warned coldly with my hands curling into fists.

His lust filled gaze vanished, replaced by clear annoyance on his face as I glared at him.

“I thought you were a delicate wildflower but it turns out you are a prickly rose” he quirked an eyebrow with a smirk.

I love roses” his lips curved slowly into a smile and my heart thumped loudly.

“Get away from me you bastard “ I screamed.

“Just because the alpha is unconscious doesn't mean that you can forget your place in the pack “ I said and he laughed heartily.

“Werewolves cannot recover from moonshade poisoning in ten days”he grunted with his eyes on me.

My head snapped as those cruel words escaped from his lips which struck me like a blade in the chest.

“By then I will become the new alpha” he explained with a cocky smile and I swallowed hard, my lips quivering .

“Become alpha wait you are Richard cousin Henry?I threw the question at him as something popped up in my mind ,the realization crashing over me.

“Yes and everything Richard has become mine” he replied with a grin.

“I love taking his things one by one, “ he grunted ,his tone flat.

“What do I do?” That was the question wandering in my mind as he stepped closer,my heartbeat growing increasingly with panic looking like a frightened puppy .

He stalked towards me and I swallowed the fear which threatened to consume me with his gaze lowered on me.

“You are a monster “I spat at him harshly with my nails digging into my palms with dread coiling from my insides.

“You are next ‘’ he pouted mockingly.

“Stay away from me, my claws have moon poison on the if you want to survive,I suggest you see a witch soon” I advised and he hissed with his eyes full of irritation

“You poisoned me “ he growled through his bared teeth,his eyes widened.

I stared at him without flinching.

“Just wait till I become the alpha “ he snarled with a scowl covering his face,his tone flat.

“We will see if you can resist by then” he declared,his voice vicious .

He hissed with rage, twisting his face.

I shot him a hateful glare and he boiled with rage closing the door behind him leaving the room suffocatingly silent.

My breath remained stuck in my throat with his words replaying in my head

Tears welled in my eyes as I dropped to my knees banging the bed nonstop wailing beside my comatose husband.

“And you call yourself an alpha “ I uttered, my eyes burning with tears .

I grabbed Richard's lifeless hand, my voice breaking.

“ Get up and protect your wife”
