Chapter 2: Kidnapped

Sam

“Yes, Alpha, I understand.”

“Okay. Here she comes.” I say, hanging up the phone.

“Hi, I'm sorry to bother you,” she says

She goes on to explain how she locked her keys in her car and needs help getting it open. This is going to be too easy. I help open the door, then offer to change her flat tire. After she denies my help, I know she is getting suspicious. Not to alert her to my plans, I walk away. If I mess this up, the alpha will kill me.

I start walking away, just enough so that she thinks she is safe. As she pops the truck, I grab her. She kicks me in the balls, making me drop to the ground for a moment. This bitch is going to get it now. Alpha said not to harm her if possible. I'd say it is necessary.

I get up and pull her collar back as she is running, making her fall. She looks up at me, obviously dazed from the impact. With one kick, she is out. Picking her up, I put her in the back of my SUV. It's black with tinted windows, so no one can see.

“Alpha, I have her.”

“Send someone to hide the car…. Yes, I am on the way. I hang up the phone and start driving to the Pack house.

Kate

I try to move, but the feeling of rope binding my hands and feet is preventing me from doing so. I open my eyes, and the room is barely lit, so it's hard to make out the details of the room. What happened? Where am I? As my head is pounding, I remember. Sam kidnapped me? But why, I try to struggle out of the ropes, but I hear footsteps outside the door.

“How is she?” I heard Sam’s voice ask.

“I think she is awake, I hear her trying to move around,” an unfamiliar voice responds.

“Good, the Alpha is ready to see her.”

As the door swings open abruptly, it makes me jump, and Sam walks in with a grin on his face. I look at him with disgust and confusion.

“Well, look who is awake,” he comes closer to me.

“You are quite the little fighter,” he chuckles.

“Will you behave if I take the tape off your mouth?” he asked me.

I nod my head, scowling at him. He rips the tape off my mouth roughly, making me wince in pain. I look at him, and he still has that same stupid grin. I’ll give him something to grin about.

“What, nothing to say?”

“Screw you!” I spat

“What was that, you little bitch?” He grabs my face tightly.

I cry out in pain, feeling like he is about to break my jaw. When I say nothing more, he loosens his grip. I spit in his face. I don’t know where this confidence is coming from, maybe the adrenaline, but no one is going to speak to me like that; I don't care who it is.

Then my head is slapped to the side, and my cheek burns with pain. My eyes start watering, and my head is spinning. He just slapped me? Who the hell does he think he is?

“If you try something like that again, I will kill you. Do you understand?” His voice is full of anger.

“Go fuck yourself.” My voice is shaky

In a second, his hand was around my throat, cutting off all air. As I struggle to breathe, gasping for any air I can. Tears started streaming down my face uncontrollably.

“Are you going to behave now?” Sam asked with a smile.

I nodded my head in agreement. After a second more, he dropped his hand, and I gasped for air while bending over in the chair. Trying to catch my breath, my lungs burn, and tears stain my face. Sam grabs my hair, pulling my head up to face him.

“Now you get to meet the Alpha, and trust me, he is not as nice as I am. So I suggest you behave.”

And with that, he walks away. It felt like an eternity but it was probably more like 5 minutes before the door opened again. In walks a monster of a man, taller than Sam, but not as good-looking. He has scars on his face, making him look scary. My eyes widen at the sight of him.

“So Kate is it?” his voice rough and raspy

In stock and terrified, I don’t say a word.

“I asked you a question!” he snaps, making my whole body jump. I nod my head, too scared to speak.

“Do you know why you are here?”

“No.” My voice comes out as no more than a whisper.

“Well, you are important to a rival of mine.” He walks around behind me.

I jump when his hands grab my shoulders and lean down to my ear, making my entire body shiver.

“And when he comes to save you, I am going to kill him,” he sneers.

“Who?” I ask, confused.

“Don’t play games with me. I know who you are and who you belong to,” he says, jerking my hair back to look at him.

“I don’t know what you are talking about…please, you have the wrong person, let me go.” I cry out

This only angers him more. He releases my hair and pulls the chair back, making it fall backwards onto the floor. He looks at me with curious eyes.

“Do you know who I am?” his eyebrows raised

“No.” I wine.

“No? I am Alpha James, the leader of the West Ridge pack, and I am going to kill your mate.”

“Alpha? Mate? This is the most ridiculous joke ever. Who put you up to this?” I laughed.

Picking the chair up, he hits me in the side, breaking a few ribs. I scream and bend over from the pain, unable to control the tears that fall. He put his finger on my chin and brought my head up.

“Listen here,” he stops and starts pacing the room as if in deep thought.

“You really don’t know?” he shot a questioning look.

I shook my head no.

“How old are you?”

“18,” I cried.

“Hmm… You don’t know him, but he knows you.” James said to himself, His eyes lit up at the realization, and he turned to me with a big smile.
