Chapter Three

JENNY’S POV

It didn’t end that day when the alpha hit me until I passed out just to have his way with me. He kept on doing it to me every single day until I lost the ability to fight and just let him do whatever he wanted anytime he came. He disgusted me, his presence filled me up with only fear because all he did was hit me continuously until he was satisfied then he would have his way with me while I just laid there until he got his high and he would leave afterward.

It went on until I began to get disgusted with myself, I was locked up in that room for so long that I didn’t even know how many days it was that I had spent there again. Sometimes he would drug my food while pretending to act nice to me and then I would fall asleep only to wake up and see that he had done what he intended to do from the start.

Later on, I found out he was doing all of it to me just to get me pregnant. I was a virgin and he was the first to have me so I never took pills to prevent pregnancy but it was a wonder to me how I never got pregnant no matter how hard he tried or how many times he had slept with me just to get me pregnant forcefully, but my body wouldn’t yield to what he wanted and that pissed him off so he treated me more badly and the ways he hit me increased and got more painful. Still, I didn’t get pregnant and I guessed that maybe the spirits of my parents and brother were really helping me because it would be more of a curse than a blessing to bear a child for such a heartless alpha that treated his mate like a nobody.

My life was hardly bearable before but after I got kidnapped by the alpha, I didn’t know how to describe how I felt about myself, my feelings were dead because I knew it would do me no good to get all emotional when I couldn’t even save myself. So I killed my feelings and just lived through everyday like I was just breathing against my will while a man that I hated with every nerve in me had his way with me, repeatedly and he also abused me whenever he felt like it. I hated anything that had to do with being mates and I made up my mind to never trust any male werewolf in my life because I believed they were all the same. It wasn’t bearable for me and I just knew it… that it was better to die than to leave like this.

After a while, I was not chained up anymore after I begged him to loosen the chains on me and agreed to let him inject me with a tracker that was going to be in my bloodstream until he was ready to take it out so I would not be able to escape and get away. All I knew was that even if I tried to escape, he was going to get me no matter what and I didn’t even know if I would take the opportunity to escape if I was ever given one for fear of getting caught by him.

So I just lived through everyday as a shadow of myself, crying myself to sleep every night after the alpha was done treating me like a discardable rag even though I was his mate and my hatred for myself increased each and every single day that the urge to kill myself just grew and grew until I gave in to it and decided to just die and rest from all the horrible things I was going through.

So that day, before the sun would dawn and signal a new day, I took the chains on the floor and after struggling to hang them from window that was up so high in the wall, I took a chair and stood on it before wrapping the chains around my neck and when I sure that it would kill me, I let the chair go and it suddenly became hard to breath as I struggled and I felt the heat rush to my face while my breathing got restricted.

Suddenly, the window gave away and I fell to the floor, coughing and gasping for breath from my near death experience that I just had.

I quickly took the chains off my neck and when I looked up, I saw that the window was wide open. I didn't know what I was thinking but at that moment, after almost dying, I was ready to take any risk as long as I was going to be able to escape from this place. I didn’t care if the alpha was going to get me through the tracker in me, all I knew was that I wanted to leave. So quickly, I pushed the bed to the window then I placed the chair on the bed and after carefully climbing the chair, I was able to get out of the room through the window and I fell to the ground hard. I quickly got up to run away but my ankle was sprained and it hurt like a bitch.

Without thinking twice, I shifted to my werewolf form because my ankle would heal faster if I was in my werewolf form and I began to run as fast as I could. I didn’t look back and I didn’t stop, I kept on running and running without any direction in mind because I didn’t know the place and I could tell that the place was far away from the pack.

Soon, I was at the roadside and I finally felt at ease because I knew the room was far away from where I was now but I knew I had to keep on running because alpha could still track me and know my location… or I could try and get the tracker out myself after I had gotten a safe place to hide.

  

ALPHA DAMMON’S POV

I was restless in the backseat of the car where I sat and it was because of my little sister Rita. of all places to choose to make a living, she had to choose such a place? I couldn’t help but wonder who was the bastard that advised her to come to such a place because I wanted to give the person a taste of his or her medicine for putting my sister through such hardship but I knew that I also had to keep my feelings in check so I wouldn’t overreact when I finally found her. I was the alpha of my pack and it was important that I knew how to hold myself back at all times so I wouldn't behave rash.

It was three years ago when my little twenty three years old sister, Rita who was seven years younger than me had come to me and told me that she wanted to try and start a life of her own where she wouldn’t be just known as the little sister of the alpha of our pack and no matter how hard I tried to stop her from leaving, she was adamant and I had to give in. So she left soon enough, only for me to find out that life was actually hard for her where she was and the person who had convinced her to come with him or her abandoned her so she was alone and finding a hard time to adjust to making a living on her own.

I quickly came up with a plan to come over and get her but when I got to the address that my private investigator got as her home address, we were told that she had moved and digging in deeper, I found out that she was actually on her way back to the pack to reunite with me since she couldn’t survive living such a hard life anymore.

I was relieved to hear that but I was also very excited to see her once again since it had been a long time and that was what made me restless. I missed my sister a lot.

The cars with security in front of mine suddenly stopped so mine came to a halt too and I looked at the driver to know what was wrong because I was impatient and just wanted to get to the airport as soon as possible so I could see Rita.

“Is anything the matter? Why are they stopping?” I asked and the driver quickly stepped out to see what was wrong. He returned seconds later and explained to me that a woman who looked frightened was the reason why they couldn’t move on because she was in the way and was requesting to meet their boss or else she wouldn’t move.

I was suddenly intrigued by who this so-called woman was and I wanted to see her so I stepped down from the car and walked forward to check.

There she was, looking like a huge mess as she placed her hands on her waist and maintained her stance no matter what my guards did to convince her. One of my rules that my guards followed was to never hurt a woman that posed no threat to them and she didn’t, which was why they couldn’t push her off the road forcefully.

I quickly interrupted and the guards bowed to me before they stepped back and let me speak to her. She looked at me and I was immediately captivated. She didn’t look clean in the least but there was just something really alluring about her and I couldn’t just place a finger on it. All I knew was that I suddenly wanted to know more about her.

“Can I know the reason why you are on the way?” I asked her and she came toward me with wide eyes that were filled with fear and she grabbed me by the collar.

“Please, you have to save me before he comes. He has done unthinkable things to me that I can’t say so I escaped and he had a tracker on me but I can’t afford to let him catch me so please I beg you. Please help me run away… I’ll do anything you want to pay you back” she rushed out at once before she dragged in a long breath and looked up at me with wide hopeful eyes that I would help her.

I didn’t know what she was running from or why she looked so scared but I could tell that she wasn’t lying and was really scared because I could hear her fast heartbeat and her eyes had tears in them too… She looked really terrified and I knew that if I didn’t help her, my guilt was going to haunt me so I decided to help her hide from whoever was after her. I was also curious about her so it was a good opportunity to know about her too. I was going to help her and keep her safe no matter what, I didn’t know why but I wanted to do it.

Call it my possessive instincts but that was all I could think about… protecting her at all cost.
