Chereads / The Teased Mate / Chapter 23 - Chapter Twenty Two

Chapter 23 - Chapter Twenty Two

"Carter?" I whisper under my breath as they take the cover they put on me.

How could he be a part of this?

"Dianna." He gives me a once over and then glares at me.

"You've grown up." He states coldly, spitting his gum out into the yard.

"And you've kidnapped me?" His cold face has a grin wash over it again, a grin of an insane man. A mad one.

"I am saving you from that monster." He admits, what monster? I want to ask, but my head hurts.

"There are no monsters. What the hell kind of crazy talk is this Carter?" He steps closer and lets out a long sigh.

"I know this may sound crazy, but have you ever heard of werewolves?" He asks and I swallow a lump in my throat.

"Yes, we did go and see Twilight together didn't we?" He laughs a bit at what I said before wiping his greasy face on his shirt.

"Well, my father hunts them, he says you are in danger. By danger, he means, the guy you are with is a beast." I want to laugh and tell him to fuck off as he says this. Instead, I roll my eye.

"Wait, is he a beast or a wolf?" I ask nonchalantly. Knowing he won't kill me or hurt me in any way.

"Because I have inspected his body thoroughly and I saw no tail." As I say this his whole face goes red with anger.

"They don't have to show you it, he hides it most likely. They love virgins such as you." This one makes me almost laugh out loud.

"I am perfectly safe and by the way, the guy who drove me here seemed more like a wolf than Anthony does," he smiles, wickedly.

"That's because he is my parents signed a contract with them. He is harmless. Except for your little boy toy has my girlfriend." He announces causing me to feel sickly.

"I hope you know she tried to kill me, so I hope she's been taken care of," I say this colder than I wanted to.

"Yeah, she was sent to kill him and whatever got in her way." He explains, disgusted. He walked away and in walks what I assume is his right-hand man.

"Well she would have died if it were up to me, I almost ripped her throat out." He laughs a maniacal laugh. He chuckles as if I don't exist.

"You couldn't do that, she's a wolf." He laughs again.

"So am I," I blurted out confessing my curse.

"Prove it," he growls, he is so close I can smell his rancid breath.

I think of the things I love and let myself shift in front of him.

He looks up at me in shock.

"Anna?" He swallows a big lump before calling the other guy.

He then shifts too.

"Alpha." He states bending down and bowing down on one paw.

Wait he shoved me in a car at gunpoint? I can't be his Alpha. I honestly can't. He must be on something.

But then I remember the law of a pure breed Alpha female, just like me. I can show my strength and recruit members for my pack. But I didn't recruit, him.

"Kill the human. He wants to kill you and your mate." He growls at Carter.

"His only goal is to get you. Let me take him out of here," he growls.

"Get me for what?" I ask, my eyes searching his.

"You are the wolf of his dreams. His father is a hunter, he spared your family from getting killed. He owns you now, Alpha I will put my life before yours." He bends down looking at me from his eyelashes.

"What the hell does 'he owns you' mean?" I question and his face changes.

"Is there any way out of it?" I ask, trying to figure out a way out myself.

"No, and if you don't agree, he locks you up. The man you love and he loves you too will be the only one allowed to save you. It's a game to him." Game rings through my ears as he says this.

"Okay, you can tell my mate where I am then." He shakes his head no.

"I don't know where he is taking you...if you run then you will put more lives in danger," he states gritting his teeth. I have always had this thought in my mind that I could fix people, but for years, I was running around in circles trying to find every excuse from the book.

I am tired of being the one who makes the bumps in our road. Love is something you should be willing to live and die for. Love is something I was numb to feeling before, Anthony. We both fixed each other in our ways. I clear those thoughts and the strange man is gone. It's like he just vanished into thin air.

I slowly begin to turn back into my human form, tears running down my face in defeat. I choke back a small sob, I am going to fight for this.

He takes my face into his dirty hands, jerking my head up towards him.

"So beautiful," he whispers wiping away a stray tear.

"I would rather be imprisoned for 100 years than be with you. Carter, I am in love, I loved you like a brother, not a lover. I am sorry, I could never feel the way I do about Anthony, with you, never." He lets my head go.

"You said you would run away with me, now is your chance. You get the chance and you throw it away over some stupid dumb fuck and a bunch of dumb mutts!" He shouts running his hands through his hair in frustration. My wolf growls at him and all my tears come out as anger, not defeat.

"Well looks like I take you to plan b." He averts his eyes,  they travel across all my exposed flesh. He shoves me into a car.

He drove that night in darkness and silence. But for him, I could sense his pain. He owns a dagger that could kill me and my mate. All the hunters do.

"We're here," he shouts while my whole body shakes.

"Okay, where is here?" I ask.

"Wouldn't you like to know?." He laughs causing my whole mind to do a 180° degree spin at his change in spirit. Or an attitude...

"Just cage me up and get over it, please,e and thank you. Oh and if you still think we are going to be friends after this then please know you thought wrong." He walks out of the car and yanks me out of the car harshly. I get thrown into a cold room. He takes the blindfold off and I notice the twin-size mattress and the toilet sharing the same corner of the dark cement-floored room.

I am still completely nude due to the fact, I shifted and I didn't think when I did so. He left me in a large dog cage for part of the car ride.

I grab the blanket from the bed. Or sad excuse of one. I notice the shower on the other side of the room and behind me is the big cement door with no window. There is one light that keeps flickering on and off in this coffin. I hate this, the room smell makes me feel nauseous. I walk over to the shower and I turn it on. The water is just as cold as the room. Then I notice, the towel and huge containers of shampoo and body wash.

I wash away my worries and wonder if my mate will ever come for me?
