As I sat on my bed I couldn't help but think about what Heidi had said earlier. As a form of punishment the wolves hunted girls. In that moment, I decided that I had to find out about the hunts that the wolves did. Was it only as a punishment? Or did they do them for other occasions as well? Is that why no girls ever came back home?
Suddenly I realized why the girls here were the way they were. These girls would constantly be living in a constant state of fight or flight. That meant that these girls would have emotional damage from the constant emotional stress they would be living with every day. I had to finally admit to myself what I had been fighting all day, living here in this place was going to destroy me like it had done to them. What if it reached a point where I felt the only option I had was to take my own life because I didn't want to live any longer? But if I did that, would Alpha Cole see that as me not fulfilling my part of the sacrifice? Would he then hu
Heidi spent the morning talking me through every tedious task we would be having to carry out in order to keep the mansion clean. I had to say, for animals, these beasts sure like cleanliness. It made me wonder why they didn't bother to clean up after themselves. I mean, they were practically OCD neat freaks, who were germaphobes, but who acted and lived like pigs, and expected slaves to clean up after them every second of the day. It was ridiculous really, almost like they thought they were royalty or something. And right at this moment, Heidi was in the process of showing me how to keep this mansion in pristine condition.The mansion was extravagant. It was an over the top display of wealth if I am being honest, and I couldn't help but wonder, "Who was the display for? Who would actually see it? Did they even have visitors?"Heidi and I were just finishing up cleaning the bathroom when we heard the sound of many footsteps heading our way. The moment they
The she wolves were in the process of getting out of the hot tub when Alpha Cole walked into the bathroom. He stood just inside the doorway, obviously waiting for them to leave."Get out," he growled.The she wolves along with Heidi and I started to make our way out of the bathroom, but Alpha Cole grabbed me by the arm and said, "Not you. You're staying here with me."Once everyone was out of the bathroom, Alpha Cole turned and shut the door, before locking it. I watched as he slowly and seductively made his way towards me. A smirk playing on his lips, as the belt around his waist was unbuckled, and his pants fell to the floor, revealing his manhood in all its glory. My eyes went wide, and I quickly looked away, looking anywhere but at him.Suddenly the situation changed as the heat in my cheeks, burned with passion. God he was hot. But I had to remind myself I was there for Haven, and if I allowed myself to get to close to Alpha Cole, I might
I scooted behind his head where it was resting against the edge of the tub. I wanted to touch him, but at the same time I didn't want to touch him. He already had such an effect on my senses without me having to get skin to skin with him. My hands hovered over him. It was like I was having to fight myself to keep my lustful thoughts at bay. My fingertips grazed the tops of his shoulders, a feather like touch, gliding against his dampened skin. His skin was so warm, even to the slightest touch. I don't know if I will ever get used to that. Suddenly Alpha Cole's eyes flew open, I noticed the amused glint in them."You're an inquisitive little thing aren't you?" he asked, eyeing me. "You're always watching, and eager to please me aren't you?" he whispered, as he moved closer to me.With his words I felt my stomach turn, as butterflies filled my insides. What was he doing to me? Why do I have this hunger for lust driving me crazy? I hate this mans guts, yet I want to
As I made my way upstairs to continue on with my chores, I realized something. No one here was my friend. Everyone here was my enemy. Even Heidi. I would be stupid to trust anyone here. The only person that I can really trust here is me!"No honey, not true. You can trust me too. You'll see," the voice in my head whispered."Yeah right!" I scoffed silently.I was so annoyed at what had happened in the bathroom earlier. Alpha Cole had played with me like a cat plays with a mouse. It was all a game to him. A mental game. A physical game. A predators game! I wasn't an idiot. I knew that Cole wanted to brake me down. He couldn't help himself. At the end of the day, he was just an animal.If I wanted to survive here, I needed a strategy. Wolves were psychological creatures. They were driven by hunger. They didn't let emotions get in their way. To them it was all about instinct. Sure werewolves were part human, but from what I had observed already, they w
I stood there holding Emma's drink in my hand, shocked by what had just happened. Without a word, Cole snatched the glass out of my hand and sniffed it's contents. A visible look of distaste made its way onto his face. Michelle wrapped her arms around him and snuggled into his chest, still playing the victim. Cole glared daggers at me, and I looked at Emma. I was silently pleading with her. I needed her to know that I hadn't done this. Emma took the glass from Cole and smelled the contents, and the same disgusted expression made its way onto her face."I didn't do this!" I wanted to scream. But I couldn't. And even if I did, who would ever believe me?Ashleigh came over and stood by my side. She had her head bowed, her eyes were on the floor, in a sign of respect to her Alpha. I wanted so badly to voice my opinion, to vent my anger, to speak my mind, but I knew that to do so would cost me, badly."Ashleigh, is this true? Did Haven do this?" Cole dema
Following Cole's orders, Ashleigh timidly took me by my elbow and led me through the house towards the front door. As we made our way out of the house, she leaned in and whispered, "I'm sorry."Looking at her, I gave her my coldest glare as I replied, "Your apology means nothing to me. You are a coward and a liar. I thought I could trust you, but clearly I was wrong!"Ashleigh continued walking with me in silence, as we made our way past the large pond, and walked toward the tree line which was located on the far side of the yard. We had just reached the treeline, when I was suddenly ripped from Ashleigh's side by two male werewolves, and slammed against the rough bark of a tree. As my front was pressed up against the tree, my arms were pulled around the tree and handcuffs were fastened around my wrists, securing me to the tree with my hands out front. Once everyone had gathered around to watch me get punished, Alpha Cole began"Twenty lashes followed by four da
I woke up on the concrete floor of the cellar, I had used the first aid kit as best I could to treat my injuries. There wasn't much I could do though, given that my injuries were on my back, thus making them awkward for me to reach. I had taken my hoodie of and managed to pour antiseptic down my back, which had burned as it killed the germs. After that, I had taken some painkillers. After putting my hoodie back on, it hadn't been long before sleep had claimed me.Now I had awoken from the pain which was making another appearance. I silently cried, wishing this was just some nightmare that I would wake up from. I lay there in the dark trying not to move, knowing that to do so would cause the pain to increase."Reign help," I whispered to her in my head, but there was no answer. "Great!" I thought feeling a little irritated. I didn't know if Alpha Cole had anyone hanging around the door keeping an eye on me. If he did, I didn't want to risk any of his lackeys
I don't know how much time had passed since I had been locked in the cellar. I had spent most of my time slipping in and out of consciousness as my body tried to heal from my injuries. During the time I had been in here, I hadn't been given any food or water. No one came in to check on me after that first night when I had awoken to find Cole in there. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by this fact though. Werewolves never cared about humans. We were expendable to them. Easily replaceable.I was laying on the concrete floor of the cellar, and it didn't take long for me to realize how weak my body felt."I have healed you as much as I can without drawing too much attention to us Lara. I am so sorry. I wish I could do more. But we can't risk it," Reign told me, as I lay there on the floor, feeling sore and sorry for myself."It's okay Reign, I understand, really, I do. I am going to kill that bitch Michelle for having us go through this shit thoug
