CHAPTER 4 : LET ME GO

Quinn's POV

Did I pass out at the Red Moon Pack again? My head doesn't hurt as much, but why can't I remember anything. 

I gently open my eyes, anticipating the brightness of wherever I am, but I'm met with darkness instead.

A basement? 

"How did I..?"

"Ahhh, just rest." A deep voice sounds from right above my head and I feel a shiver run down my spine. 

That's not Head servant Alberto's voice. Who else could be nice to me? I close my eyes and try to recover my memory of what happened before I passed out but I come out blank and with an headache instead.

"Just rest, you need to recover. I noticed you don't heal yourself. Are you a half blood?" He asks and I notice the sincerity and gentleness in his voice, but I can't help but flinch at his question.

Am I half-blood? 

Whoever this good Samaritan is is no different from the others.

So quick to judge.

Because I don't heal, see or change like other werewolves doesn't make me half-blood. I will prove this to everyone!

The sheer determination I experience gives me strength enough to answer.

"I..I'm n..n..not half-blood. Please l..et me go, I do..don't h..ha..ave any m..m..money to pay you." I can feel my self getting exhausted, but the chuckle that escapes his throat further infuriates me and even though I'm at my captor's mercy, I want to lash out.

"D..do..don't l..la..laugh."

"I wasn't laughing at you, I just think you're really cute." He chuckles again and I really want to slap him across the face.

"D..don't f..fu..fuck..fucking laugh at m..me b..be..beca..because I..I s..stammer." I tell whoever it is and try to sit up even though my spine feels like it's broken. 

"I said rest, your body isn't healing and the painkillers take a while to start working." I can hear him walk towards me and I feel more strength to move. 

It's probably from my will to escape.

"Y..you are not t..th..the boss of me." I place my feet on the ground. 

No, I stomp them and get up in a start, but I feel dizzy instead and Aria's mockery fills my ear. 

"Who isn't the boss of you?" She mocks before going silent again.

"Sh..shut up Aria." I snap as I try to get up again but I end up face stamping with his chest. 

Woah, my captor is so tall and we'll built.

"I said lay down and rest." He pins my shoulder back on the bed and leans towards me to switch on the light.

The sudden brightness of the room makes my eyes ache and I clamp them shut for seconds before opening them again to meet his hazel eyes. 

"W..why d..did y..u..you kidnap m..me?" I ask as I do not shift my gaze from his. 

He has such beautiful eyes and is squatting in front of me. His nose looks so elegant, like something only a strong Alpha could own. Sabrina's father doesn't even own a nose as given as this and Jacob's will hold a candle to his. 

"T..talk, o..r a..are y..u..you mute?" I ask him as I break the staring contest by blinking but he doesn't.

"You need to take your bath. I'll go run you a hot bath." He says as he straightens up and walks towards a door I didn't notice before now. 

He looks back at me, but I shrugg and continue planning my escape route. 

"Rest." He says before closing the door behind him.

That must be the exit because I do not hear any sounds of running water, so he must have gone to a different room. 

That's my chance.

I find my slippers with my foot but on a second thought, I hold them in my hands and tiptoe towards the door. 

It's dimly lit outside this basement, but after taking turns looking left and right, I realize that it's all clear and decide to increase my pace, but just when I think everything is going well, I bump into someone. 

"Why aren't you resting?" I want to reply 'you are not the boss of me', but I realize the tone is different, it's a female's. 

"Who are you to defy my Sebastian's orders?" Her possessiveness makes me want to jump out a window. She has the same vibes as Sabrina and I'm so curious to know if Sabrina has a hidden sister. 

Ohh, so his name was Sebastian. 'But how did she know this?' I want to ask, however I'm shocked by the things that follow the snap of her fingers.

"Y..y..you u..use bla..black m..ma..magic." I'm shocked at her ability to change the scenes because black magic is prohibited and whoever is caught practicing it is sentenced to death. 

"And you stammer." She says with haughtiness, but instead of my will to lash out like when I was with Sebastian, I feel extremely scared like when I'm with Sabrina. 

"P..l..please don't h..hurt me." I plead as I recognize the look on her face. Sabrina has it everytime she hits me. 

It's a look a predator gives its prey.

"Why not? You're just a maid who defied the orders of the Red Moon's alpha and I'm just doing him a favour by getting rid of you." She says and my heart almost jumps out of my chest when I realise who I spoke rudely to.

The Ruthless Alpha of the Red Moon Pack.

"First you pretend to be bullied by your master, next you try to get into the alpha's bed. Your type is not welcomed here." She says as she takes a step towards me.

"I..I'm s..so..sorry." I take a step back when I notice the dark flames brewing in her palm. Her eyes already turned black and the air is suffocating.

"Apology accepted, but you have to go. Take it as me freeing you from your pathetic life." She sends the flame which she conjured to the form of an orb towards me and I feel time go in slow motion. 

I close my eyes waiting for the impact, but instead I hear a whiff in the air before I feel myself tumble down. 

Here ends my 20 year old pathetic life. But what about my dreams to become the strongest female werewolf?

I open my eyes to realise I'm still alive as I'm still at the rooftop, but the person I sight next shocks me.

Why did he do that?

How in the world did he appear here in seconds.
