2: ALPHA ARTHER

After finishing her work, Letitia went home early, fearing that the man who had been staring at her a few days before would appear in front of her again. When she got home, she immediately locked the door and sighed deeply.

She went to her kitchen to cook her dinner and open the television. Right after she open the T. V., she suddenly heard the new news about her family that they said their eldest daughter has died because of the accident. The plate that she was holding dropped down and broke because of shock. That means her family will no longer send her money and just let her die.

Her tears drop down to her cheeks, she immediately wipes them with her hands and laughs softly. “Let them be, Letitia. They don’t care about you anymore, you only have yourself so be strong! ” she said to herself and immediately pick the broken plate and put it in the trash can.

She ate dinner first and took a half bath before deciding to sleep in her grandparents' room and crying in silence because of the pain she was experiencing. She promised herself that this would be her last cry about her family and that she would concentrate solely on her life and not on theirs. Letitia's eyes closed and she fell asleep after a few hours.

.

A stranger entered her room while she was sleeping. Because she was tired and crying, Letitia forgot to shut the window. The stranger pointed the gun at her, but her senses were sharp, and she immediately stood up and threw the lamp at the stranger then kick his stomach, causing him to groan in pain. She rushed outside and shut the door behind her.

She ran outside without even putting on her slippers, only to be met by another person brandishing a gun at her. She raises her hand, and the sound of her heartbeat can be heard. Letitia is at a loss as to what to do; she can no longer escape to the city to request help. She may be capable of self-defense, but she was terrified of the gun and its loud noise. Her father's treatment of her in the past comes to mind.

"W-who told you to come here?" "Letitia stammered, but the man in front of him did not respond to her question. She heard footsteps behind her back, and when she turned around, she saw the stranger who had entered her room.

She looks around and sees no way out; if she runs towards the city, the two people can chase her down with their car. She has no choice but to run and hide among the forest's trees and bushes. She dashed into the woods, where she heard the two men yelling at her to come back.

Letitia just kept running until she stepped on a stone, which caused her to lose her balance and fall to the ground. She quickly picked herself up and continued to run, but one man hit her two legs, causing her to groan in pain.

"Don't move so we can kill you," one man says seriously to her pointing a gun on her head. Letitia saw a branch near her and throws a it at the two people, but they both just laugh at her. She was crawling behind to escape the two, she cannot help herself up cause by her two legs.

She did her very best to escape but one man steps her legs making her cry even more. Then one man began to shoot his gun, but before the bullet could hit her head, another stranger took her quickly and took her out of the place.

He bring down her on the ground carefully and let out a scythe and throw to two men holding guns making their heads to cut. Letitia’s eyes widen and covered her mouth. The stranger man covered his face with a mask and turn around to face Letitia. She wanted to thank him for saving her life but the man’s stare were cold as ice. She choose to shut her mouth until the man was now standing in front of her.

In a blink of an eye, the man smack her in the neck making Letitia unconscious and lay on the ground. The stranger carry her body to the middle of the forest without speaking looking in front of him seriously.

.

Letitia wake up in an unfamiliar room. She tried to recall what happened to her and remembered that there were two men trying to kill her. She suspecting that it might be her parents hiring two assassins to kill her. She clenches her fist and wanted to scream but she chooses not to.

She tried to stand and suddenly remembered that her two legs were hit by a gun. She take a look and the wounds leave another scar on her legs, she looks at the mirror beside the door and look at her face. The scar she had in her face is not that big but it really ruined her face in her parents eyes. 

She take a step back when she hear someone was coming and suddenly opened the door. Showing two men looking at her, her eyes widened when she saw the man again who had been staring at her few days ago.

“A-are you the one who help me?” Letitia ask the man but he just walk closer to her. He then smell her neck and shoulders making her uncomfortable. She slaps his cheeks making the man behind him quickly interjected and growl, Letitia step back again.

“No, Scott. Stop it,” the man speaks and touches his face and looks at Letitia once again. Letitia’s face was confused looking at him. “What’s your name?” he added.

“How dare you to ask me that when you didn’t even say sorry to what you did to me,” Letitia speaks with her brows met. “Step back, I needed to get out,” she added but the two men eyes were scaring her. It was as if for her they won’t hesitate to kill her.

“Who are you? What is your name?” Letitia keep on asking him but Scott was the one who replied to her question.

“He is Alpha Arther, be careful of your words, darling. You just can’t speak to him casually,” Scott said.

“Alpha? What alpha?” Letitia’s face was even more confused after she heard that word.

“You need to rest,” Alpha Arther said and take a step to leave her in the room but she wanted to get out as well. Alpha Arther immediately block her way from getting out the door using his one hand which made her eyebrow raise.

“What are you doing? Let me out!" she exclaimed but Alpha Arther just keep on staring at her eyes. He don’t know why but for him, Letitia's eyes were so beautiful. He can’t take his eyes off on her, he immediately shook his head and closes his eyes for a moment and speaks.

“I am not letting you out of this room, it will be dangerous for you. I heard the news about your family, I know all about you,” Alpha Arther said which made Letitia’s eyes widen. She looks away and turn her gaze at the window, she was thinking how could Arther know about her. That she is the daughter of both famous actor and model. “Stay in my territory for a while,” Arther added making Letitia looks at him once more.

“I don’t have even one penny to pay you, I cannot stay here,” she replied.

Arther replied immediately. “You don’t have to pay me." Letitia's eyes widen for a moment and her face started ro wrinkled because of annoyance.

“I don't know what are you planning to do, you want me? A stranger to live in this room?” she ask him while pointing herself and then look on her legs. She wanted to ask question regarding the scar she had in her legs but she chooses not to. She just bit her lower up and raises her head when Scott interjected.

“You ask too many questions,” Scott speaks while looking at her with his intimidating eyes. She suddenly remember the man who saved her yesterday and killed the two assassins by cutting off their heads. Letitia just shut her mouth and didn't ask another questions anymore.

“Just stay here and don’t leave. I will ask another maid to gave you a tray of food. There are things I still need to do,” Arther said and leave her alone in the room. Before could Scott leave and follow the Alpha, he looks at Letitia again and closes the door.

Letitia plunked down after she talks with the two men. She don’t know what will happen to her life anymore, she touches her forehead and stared on the ground. She was thinking that maybe the two men are simply planning to do something bad to her sooner or later.

She wanted to leave but she was too scared to move out in the room because of Scott and the Alpha’s intimidating eyes. And, even though she can escape here, there’s no place she can go. The moment her parents knew that she’s still alive, they will bring more assassins to her house to kill her.

She then recall the word Alpha in her mind, when her grandparents were alive they used to mention that word to her. She didn’t think that her grandpa’s stories were all true, that werewolves live with them. And there, she met an Alpha for the first time of her life.
