Chapter five.

Selina's POV.

I racked desperately through my wardrobe searching for a suitable dress, how didn't I think of this before now? Malik is taking me to go see his parents and I wanted to look presentable and someone outside of a servant.

I had no other dress aside my maid uniforms which were rags and there was no way I'm letting myself be introduced to Malik's parents and my future in-laws wearing that.

I can't believe how fast everything is pulling along, and soon enough, Malik and I will get married and I'll move from being the lowly maid to the pack's Luna.

A sudden gentle knock on the door pulled me out of my chain of thoughts.

I hurried my steps towards the door and pulled it open only to behold the strange face of a young man, surprisingly, he had a warm smile on his face.

"Greetings from Alpha malik, he wants you to have this," he said passing over a pretty looking bag to me.

"It's a dress for you," he added.

"Thank you," I nodded at him and made to lock the door, but surprisingly he held it open with his leg.

"Uhm... Is there something else you want me do for you?" I arched my brow at him.

He chuckled lightly, stepping fully into the room. "Actually, yes, I think you can help me with something."

And in a swift move, he grabbed me, pulling me against his body, and held his arm tightly against my neck, I could barely breathe.

"I'm sorry, you seem like a sweet innocent girl, but I don't have a choice." He whispered in my ear.

He suddenly pulled out a syringe and held it against my neck.

"Wh... What are you doing? Please no!" I chocked.

"You don't have to worry love, I'm not killing you, I'm just putting you to a little nap, you'll be awake in the next couple of hours,"

And with that, he pressed the syringe into the skin of my neck and released.

I felt my head bubble endlessly, my eyes blurred and my body numb, slowly, darkness enveloped me.

**

My eyes suddenly snapped open as I heard a loud bang on the door, my entire body ached badly.

The loud knock came again on the door and I quickly sat up in an attempt to run to the door, only for the duvet to fall off my body and holy crap!

I was naked.

What the hell?

How is that even possible?

Suddenly, I felt a slight movement beside me and turning around, a loud scream almost fled my mouth.

There was a man laying beside me, totally naked and seemed to be deep asleep, unbothered.

What the hell is happening?

He stirred again, turning fully around and my eyes fell on his face.

It was familiar.

Suddenly, like a crazy lightning, flashes from the early hours of the day came clashing through my head.

This strange man came to my house with a dress from Malik.

Then he grabbed me and then...

The syringe!

No!

What has he done to me?

Just as I raised my hand to tap him awake, the door suddenly bursted open and a bunch of guards trooped in.

"Alpha Malik was scared something might have happened to you, he waited and you didn't show up." One of the guards blurted.

He suddenly paused on his track, dragging his gaze towards the naked stranger laying beside me.

"What is happening here?" He mumbled.

"I don't know either, please you have to believe me." My voice quivered as I spoke.

"I guess you were too deep into your treacherous act that you forgot you had an important appointment." Another one of them chirped and my heart skipped a beat.

They are beginning to believe this? No!

Scared and extremely terrified, tears were beginning to well up in my eyes as I shivered uncontrollably.

I couldn't hold back anymore, I held onto the sheets that I was using to shield my nakedness, soul shattering wail rolled out of my throat.

"What's going on here?" I heard a male voice among the voices beginning to draw closer to me.

The deep voice rang in my ears, a voice I could never misinterpret, it was him.

Malik.

I hastily looked up hoping to run into his arms for safety only to behold the biggest terror of my life.

He was standing few feet away from me with the coldest look I have ever seen in his eyes, Chloe stood beside him, panic written all over her face.

I could hear loud pronounced footsteps approaching too, just a blink of my eyes and I was suddenly surrounded by a quarter of the pack members, it was like someone had already alerted them before it even happened.

What have I done?
