*Laura’s POV*
"We're here." Someone said from beside me. It was that other Giant whom I almost thought was the one to marry Annabel- Or me...
Before I could even blink, the car door had been thrown open and the Giant one was already outside. How he could flee from the car with such speed was way beyond me. They could be hybrids!
"Come down." someone said from outside the car but I couldn't move. I couldn't bring myself to. I could only stare at them in pure horror and wonder what would become of me if I did.
"Come down!" Another gruff voice commanded fiercely. Pushing my thoughts to the back of my mind, I picked up my wobbly legs and got out of the car as fast as I could.
"Good." Giant one said, "Come this way." he stated simply, and for the first time since my first encounter with him, I noticed he had a distinct accent- he's probably half Irish.
Looking towards the direction he was pointing at, I saw a large glass mansion, Glass! Or maybe it was made from a material that looked like glass- it was like a thousand times the size of my normal home. Giant two a.k.a the husband was already walking into the house with bodyguards following closely behind him.
The exterior had that glass plus golden decorations and there were tons of bodyguards scattered everywhere. I couldn't help but marvel at the excessive show off of wealth.
"Miss, this way." Giant one called out again but this time there was a hint of aggression in his tone of voice.
Ignoring him, I turned around and made my way towards the direction in which the car came from- the gate, but my stubbornness didn't last long as I was immediately lifted and that was it.
Next thing I knew, I was hanging upside down from Giant one's shoulder and screeching like a deranged bat.
"Put me down!" I screamed angrily, his shoulder was too hard and it was pressed roughly against my stomach making me squirm in pain. "Put me down or I'll bite off a huge chunk of meat from your back!"
Stubborn Mr Giant paid no attention to me and continued walking towards the house, I bit down hard against his back and waited for a reaction but none came- Are you for real?
Never give up baby tiger!
I bit down again, and again, no reaction came from him. In sheer anger I bit down harder this time until my teeth hurt; all I could get from him was the most outrageous reply I could ever imagine;
"Shit baby girl, quit doing that; you’re turning me on!" Feeling frustrated, I let him carry me all the way into the living room where he roughly dumped me back on my feet.
Giant two was waiting for us, and he was staring at me like I was some sort of alien.
"Why was she brought in here in that manner?" He snarled, his attention fully on Giant one.
"Because she tried to escape Alpha." Giant one replied exasperatedly. Alpha? "She's quite a case." he added. I didn't want to listen to their discussion so I focused my attention on my surroundings. The interior was all gold and white; everything looked like it was out of a good movie.
The furniture were exquisite and most looked like they could cost about a million dollar each. Sighing in anger at the sheer show off, I turned to face them. They looked like they were in a heated conversation about me.
"Hey!" I called waving my hands in front of them, "I am still here." Giant one and two turned to look at me with ferocious eyes. The looks they gave me could easily melt iron, but I wasn't iron. Instead of backing down, I placed both of my hands on my hips and gave them my own infamous stink eye.
"I don't want to stay here." I said after a moment of silence. They didn't say a word, didn't move, didn't even blink. I was already about to scream out in frustration before Giant two spoke up,
"Leave us alone Kyle, we'll continue this conversation later." oh so Giant one's name is Kyle?
"Kyle," I snapped, making the so called Kyle look at me, "If I ever lay my hands on you, I'll kill you for bringing me in here like a ram!" I threatened, and I wasn't bluffing.
"Now what do you want to say?" The alpha drawled, cutting me off in the process.
"I'm not staying here," I said again, this time with a fierceness I never knew I had.
"You do not have a choice here woman, you can only leave here once you’ve paid me the money your Dad owes me." He snapped.
“He’s not even my dad!” I yelled in frustration, “you should’ve taken his own daughter and not me!”
"Drake! Show her to her room." He called to one of his bodyguards, ignoring my rants. I knew it couldn't end this way. I wasn't born to get into this sort of shit then back down without a fight, so without thinking I blurted out the first lie I could think of;
"You have to let me go, for your safety!" I screeched in feigned worry.
"Really?" He challenged.
"Y-yes!" I stuttered. "I am half werewolf, half beast!" I screamed. The only reaction I got from Him was a cocked eyebrow- I needed to sound believable! His look could tell me he wasn't buying it but I continued anyways, "You know my Dad's a scientist right?" I asked and then he motioned to me to continue;
"One day he created a Gene altercation substance that was supposed to give normal people super powers. Make them stronger; and somehow he had to test it on me since he couldn't afford to get a lab rat, but it didn't turn out the way He expected. Instead of waking up to new powers, I started turning into a monstrous looking creature at midnight; and that has been a problem for a year now. There's nothing Dad hasn't tried to—”
"Is this true?" He asked, cutting me off and I nodded fiercely. There was no way I could utter any words right now for my excitement would be let out.
"If this is true, then I need to find out myself; and probably source for a solution." he said, then whispering so no one would hear, he said; “…because you’re my mate.”
"Drake, do not take her to the guest room tonight. Ask the maids to strip her, and chain her in my room... I want to be at close watch while she changes into the beast tonight."
From the corner of the eye, I noticed someone chuckling. It was the stupid Kyle; I glared at him and then refocused my attention to the Alpha.
"No, you don’t want to!" I shrieked, tears beginning to well up in my eyes.
It seemed like He was no longer interested in my acting because he waved dismissively in my face and turned away from me.
"Take this crazy lady to my room and strip her; inject her if you have to, I'm watching her change tonight." With those last words, he turned on his heels and walked away.
"No! N-no! No! no! no!" I chanted continuously as one hefty bodyguard walked up to me. I felt foolish. Really foolish. How could I be so stupid as to come up with a story as useless as that? Fear and desperation clouded my mind as I sought for other means to escape, but my thoughts hadn’t quite formed when I noticed the sharp sting of something on my neck.
My mind went blank, but before I slipped into unconsciousness, I couldn’t help but think that this shouldn’t be happening to me, in fact it was supposed to be happening to Annabel…
*Laura’s POV *I. Am. Doomed.I woke up a few hours later to find myself stripped and chained, both of my hands had cuffs around them with chains that were connected to the ceiling; and even my legs were chained too but I didn't see where the chains led to. The room was dark.My palms were all sweaty, my hair clung to my face due to the presence of excessive sweat and my stomach was already grumbling from the lack of food for the past few hours. Worst of all was my butts, they were in pain! The cold metallic chair was not just hard against it but also felt like tiny needles were pricking at it.Dear Goddess, I'm going to pass out soon...The only sound that had been resounding around the room was the tick tock of the wall clock that I couldn't help but notice when the sound of an opening door took its place. I still couldn't see anything but I knew who had entered, for his presence made that weird sweet sensation crawl up my skin again."I see you haven't changed- yet, and it's past 1
Laura's POV I gasped for air as my head burst through the surface of the water, but my lungs refused to cooperate. They didn't know how to function without the comforting embrace of oxygen - which, in my current position, was not readily available. I had never learnt to swim before, unlike Annabelle. My arms flailed helplessly in the water as my head once again sunk below the surface. I tried to calm my racing heart, to control the desperation building inside me, but it was all for naught. My mind was quickly becoming consumed by the thought that this might be it, that I might die here in the pool on this otherwise unremarkable day. Killed by someone I don't even know, in a place I don't even want to be. It all happened so quickly. One moment I was walking out with a beautiful dress, something I couldn't brag of in a very long time, next I'm making bubbles with water due to water running in through my nose. I opened my mouth several times to call for help, but water filled my mout
Alexander's POVAlexander had invited me to his annual kingdom race and I kindly accepted, who wouldn't?I and my pack had gotten to his house and all settled down in our rooms. Then, I headed for the hall way for some meet and greet.I leaned against the wall, observing the partygoers as they drunkenly stumbled through the dimly lit hallway. I sipped my champagne as my eyes wandered, taking in the various outfits and conversations before landing on her.I had never seen her in any of the kingdom races I attended before, she must be new.She walked into the hallway, her presence demanded attention as her dress clung to her curves, emphasizing her figure. I felt drawn towards her, mesmerized by her effortless grace.As she walked past everyone in the hallway, I could notice all every bit of her shape exposed by her dress like a sensor, a drop of my champagne spilled over the rim of my glass and onto my cuff, pulled from my trance. I quickly composed myself, taking one last look at her
Chris's POVAs I walked inside the hallway, I scanned the area for any familiar faces. People from different packs had come to the house for the annual kingdom race. But then, my eyes landed on Laura, who was the new girl Xander brought to the house. I had never really paid much attention to her before, but something about her caught my eye this time. She was walking down the stairs, looking radiant in her beautiful dress that exposed her curves. It felt like the world had stopped for a moment, and everything seemed to be in slow motion.I hesitated for a while, not wanting to make a fool of myself in front of her, but then I heard a splash followed by a shriek of panic. My head whipped around, and I saw Laura was thrashing about in the deep end of the pool. She was pushed into the pool by Clara and gone straight to the bottom, and now she was struggling to stay afloat. Without thinking, I took off running towards the pool and jumped in.The water was cold, and it took me a few second
Alexander's POVI was coming to meet Chris at the garden to tell him how I've began to develop feelings for Laura and getting to the garden, I met Chris seated with Mark on a bench in the garden having a chat. I wasn't going to sneak up on them until I heard Mark utter Laura's name.I couldn't believe my ears when I overheard Chris talking about Laura to Mark that she was some kind of sex slave to me. Well, she was kind of it, but I've began to develop a soft spot for her. Chris was my best friend, and Laura was someone we both knew and he knew how Laura's situation was, even if that's who she was to me, it doesn't mean he can be attracted to her. I had to confront him about what I'd heard.I waited until he finished his discussion with Mark, I was incognito for most part of the discussion. He leaned back in his chair.I grabbed his neck from behind and Mark quickly stood up in shock. While I held on to Chris's neck and he tried talking, but he couldn't speak. That was how I knew he h
Laura's POVI took a deep breath, settling into the soft cushions of the armchair at Xander's room.. I was drenched in distress, I was feeling sick and I wasn't feeling this way since the race, but it felt like something I did is coming together to hurt me.I recounted the day of the kingdom race, of how I'd felt the weight of my limbs as I almost lost my life, grateful for Chris to have jumped into the pool after evil girl sent me unwillingly diving into pool. I'd pushed myself to the brink of my endurance, muscles aching and cramping, but somehow still drowning in the water before Chris grabbed me.The memory of this incident will forever be etched into head and pools will always give me PTSD.."I recounted how, finally, I'd reached my room after the whole in pool and pool side incident and I was so tired and drenched because of the drowning and my cramps. I wasn't strong enough to go for the race, but I was scared if I disappointed you, you'll be angry and do more bad things to me.
Clara's POVI walked into the built in coffee shop, hoping to grab my usual cappuccino before heading to my room and take my bath. I caught my breath as I see Alexander sitting at a table with Laura. What is he doing with her? I try to shake off the thought and order my drink. As I wait for it, I can't help but sneak glances over at them.To my surprise, I see that they aren't behaving in any way I expected. Alexander isn't even touching her, and they seem to be having a genuine conversation. I feel my cheeks flush with embarrassment as I think of all the things I had been assuming about them.And I the way I attacked Laura? Was I scary enough for her?Maybe I had become sloppy, but I'll let her know I'm not one to be messed with.I grabbed my drink and took a seat at a table across from them. Maybe today will be the day that Alexander finally notices me, I thought to myself. I start to daydream about the life we could have together, but I am quickly brought back to reality as I hear
Laura's POVI had fallen ill since the race, my menstrual cramps made the sickness worse and during those times I found a support system in whom I least expected.I couldn't believe it when Alexander showed up at my doorstep with a basket full of fruits, veggies, and a care package filled with medicine and hot tea. This was the same Alexander that I had always despised, because of the way he took me from my home thinking he was just another arrogant and selfish person. Here he was, being genuinely kind to me in my time of need. I had been sick for over two weeks, and it had been a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows.As we sat down in the living room with the care package spread out on the coffee table, I couldn't help but wonder why he was doing all this. After some small talk, he told me that he knew what it was like to be sick and feel alone. He had gone through a tough time with his family and had to rely on strangers for help, so he wanted to pay it forward. I was taken aback by
