Locked Up 2

CHAPTER SIX

Locked Up 2

"Who is he?" Leanda asked as he watched Alarick heading towards the bathroom, "Who is this man and what does he want from me?" she broke into tears.

Morgana moved closer to her and pulled her to herself, "Come with me, I will take care of your cut," she stated, pretending like she didn't hear the question Leanda asked.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Leanda sniffled, even though Morgana was obviously a middle aged woman, Leanda wouldn't mind disrespecting her if she wouldn't give an answer to the question she asked, "Who are you two and what do you want from me?" she asked.

Morgana still didn't give her an answer to her question, she pretended like she didn't hear what she asked.

She picked up a small first aid box from the table and turned to her, "Sit," she said, pointing to the chair at the side of the window.

Leanda refused to sit, "You heard me asking you a question, but you refused to answer, and now you are telling me to sit?" she grumbled, "I won't sit until.."

"Sit," Morgana said again, and this time, she pushed her to the chair, "In order to protect yourself and your life, you have to do what you are asked to do first before asking questions or complaining," she finally spoke, "You can loose your life anytime, this is a different place, and you are dealing with a different person," she added.

All she said sounded like the same latin words she was muttering minutes ago because Leanda couldn't understand any of it.

She looked up at her with her face furrowed, "What are you talking about? why will I lose my life when I did nothing wrong?" she asked, "All I did wrong to be in this condition was being born by my mom, if I hadn't been birthed by her, I wouldn't have had to meet Natasha who sold me off to.."

"Keep your voice down, the alpha doesn't like noise," Morgana said.

Once again, it was no difference from what she was muttering earlier, what does she mean by alpha?

Also, she was referring to him as highness, and that was how they refer to the royals, was he a prince or a king?

She was confused, everything about these people was confusing to her, she couldn't tell who they were and what they really wanted from her.

That man had said he wanted her to carry his baby, but with the way she was being treated, it doesn't look like that was what he wanted from her.

He even hurt her, why would anyone hurt the one who was going to be the mother of his child? she couldn't understand that.

She looked up at Morgana who was also staring back at her, she couldn't tell what question to ask her next because she has even succeeded in making everything more difficult for her to understand, she wasn't making it easy for her.

"Who are you both?" she asked did the umpteenth time, "And what is it that you want from me?"

Morgana smiled, she held her hand and picked up a cotton wool from the box as she wiped off her blood, "You will get to know who we are as time goes on," she stated, but who the hell told her that she wasn't going to escape, she was definitely going to find a way out of the mess she was in.

She looked up at her, "All I can say to you right now is the king wants you to carry his baby, and you really have no other choice than to do that," she added.

Leanda shook her head, why was she left with no choice?, she didn't even do anything wrong to be chosen by this strange man to carry his baby.

She always had a low self esteem and she was always finding it difficult to believe that she was beautiful, even others will tell her that.

If she wasn't chosen for beauty, then what?, why was she the one chosen by this man to carry his baby? why not someone else.

He wasted a lot of money for someone like her, he paid the rogues double of their money and even paid her stepmother more money, just to have her, why couldn't he f

give the money to someone else, there will be lots of girls who will be willing to carry his baby even for a hundred thousand dollars.

"Why must I carry his baby?" Leanda asked, "Why can't he find someone else to carry his baby, I'm not the only girl in this world, he could have found someone else, why me?" she asked with her eyes heavy with unshed tears, "Why can't he just find someone else to carry his child?" she asked.

"Because you are the only one who can carry his heir," Morgana tried her best to explain so she could understand and she also didn't want to spit so much Information yet, not until they get back to their world.

"You are the right person for this job and that was why you got chosen, you just have to do as he says," she added.

"But I have..." she stopped and held out a low cry as the ointment was applied on her cut, "That stings," she sniffled.

"You just have to bear the pain for a while," Morgana mumbled and covered the cut up with a band aid.

She covered the box and returned it back to the position she took it from, "We are done here," he stated and helped her get up on her feet, "You should go back to the closet before he gets back, he wouldn't like you being here," she said.

Leanda nodded, she was going to do as she has said, for that moment alone.

If she was going to figure out a plan to run away or away from this man, then she would have to do it alone, in a quiet place, and the closet was the best way to do that.

She smiled faintly at Morgana, "Thank you," she said to her before heading for the closet.

"Wait," Morgana said and rushes to her with a small box, "Dinner," she handed the box over to her.

"Thank you," Leanda said again and motioned for the closet.

She got in there and heard the door lock twisting again, but she wasn't really bothered about that this time, she just wanted a quiet time to herself so she could think about what to do.

She dropped the box on the floor and sat right beside it as she tries to figure out a way out of that place, a way to get away from this strange and scary man.

Leanda went quiet for some minutes, she gave it a hard thought but the more she thinks about it, the more difficult it seems.

She was close to getting away few minutes ago, she was just a step to getting away from them and her she got caught. She didn't only get caught, she also got hurt.

She looked at her arm and sighed, she never thought all that was happening could ever happen to her, she didn't even know what was next and what this man would do to her again.

What will he do to her if she runs away again, what will get do if she gets caught, she knew very well that he wouldn't take it lightly with her.

If it hadn't be for the interference of Morgana, only the heaven knows what he would have done to her, with his red colored eyes.

How could anyone have a red eyes? she still was confused of everything about this man.

Not even his name, she didn't even know what his name was and he was expecting her to carry his baby, how could she just carry the baby of a total stranger.

Leanda shook her head, "I will never do that," she said to herself and stood up, "I will find every possible way to get away from this man and his people," she murmured, "You can do it Leanda, you are strong," she affirmed.

Even the affirmation sounded shaky, how could she fight against a man who was able to grow an eight inches long and curved nails in few seconds?, how was she going to go against a man who had two color eyes and could change it whenever he wants to?

Leanda was so sure that there were more things about him that would tear her mouth open in surprise and confusion, she knew that couldn't be all about this man, he was more than she had seen.

She began to pace in the closet, looking to find a way out of that place.

She wasn't even bothered about the food, her stomach which was once grumbling had already stopped, who would be angry in such situation?.

She couldn't be at ease, she could sense the big danger in front of her.

Leanda began to push the empty shelves to see if there was a door or even a window behind it, but she couldn't find any.

She pushed it all but none had a door or window behind it, she fell to the floor, all her hopes were lost, she was never going to find a way out of it.

She sighed, what else was left for her to do? what was she going to do again?

She couldn't think of what to do again, the only way out was to find a door or window in the closet and maybe jump out, but she couldn't find any.

She would have to wait to the next day, maybe if she talked to him and begged, he would let her go.

She just had to plead with him, she knew lots of girls would accept to carry his baby for any amount, he could contact them and they would be at his door.

Leanda heaved a sigh as she laid on the cold tiled floor, she had no other choice, that was the only way for her.

****

Few hours into her sleep, but not so deep into sleep, Leanda could hear some strange sounds, she opened her eyes one after the other and shouted when she saw Alarick beside her.

She crawled away from him as fast as she could, and that was when she saw the duvet on her body.

She stopped, confused as she gazed at him and back at the duvet on her body, was he the one who covered her with it? that was unbelievable.

"W...W...what are you doing here?" she asked, her hands were shaky and she couldn't hide that, "W...what do you want?" she asked.

He stood up and walked away without saying a word to her.

While Leanda wondered what this man came to do by her side and if he was the one who covered her with the duvet, Alarick wondered what would happen to him if his wolf finally takes over his body.

"I'm a mess," he murmured as he fell back to his bed, he brought his hand to his chest, "I'm losing myself, I couldn't even control you for few minutes while I was with her," he added and a lone tear fell from his eyes, "What will become of me?" he asked before closing his eyes.

He wondered what would happen if his wolf finally takes over his body. He could still control it for some minutes and that happened, he hurt his mate, what if it takes full control over his body?.

The next morning, Leanda was still curled up in one corner, she couldn't sleep again after Alarick left, her fear wouldn't let her.

She was still confused of what he came to do in the closet and if he was the one who covered her with the duvet.

If he was, then everything was becoming strange than it was before, why would be nice and hard to her at the same time.

The door to the closet suddenly came open and she spranged up on her feet, "We have to leave," Morgana said.
