"Alec no…please," She said as she was wriggling in his grip.
Soon she noticed a bunch of men encircling around them, making it almost impossible for her to run away. They were not in the town but she could see small houses a little far away. She wanted to scream for help but who would come for her help?
"You're going back to the Palace with us, my lady." Alec Preston said as he gripped both of her forearms when she didn't stop struggling.
