Artemis P.O.V
After I explained everything to Elijah, which he seemed relieved about, I got K.C. settled into a room next to mine but she refused to sleep in there by herself so she'll be sleeping with me for now. But today is the sleepover at Courtney's house. I sighed. Maybe I'll ask Elijah to keep an eye on her.
I walked to his room and knocked on the door.
"Yes?" He asked after he opened the door.
"Can you do me a small favor?" I asked.
"That depends on how small the favor is." He said.
"Can you watch K.C. for me until tomorrow?"
"Why until tomorrow? Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Courtney's house for a sleepover. Please can you watch her for me. Please." I asked giving my best puppy eyes.
"Fine." He said with a sigh.
"She is usually silent and won't bother you or make much noise unless she doesn't like you where she is pin drop silent because she's planning how to make you miserable." I said to which he frowned. "But I'm sure she'll like you." I quickly added.
"Okay." he said unsure. Just then I got a message from Cortney.
C: bring something to go clubbing ;)
A: ok see you soon.
I went to my room to look for something to wear tonight. By the looks of it the girls are going to the club and since it'll be sneaking out for me I'm in.
I packed my dress at the bottom of my night bag then covered it with my pajamas.
"I'm leaving!" I yelled going out. Since the other pack house isn't that far I decided to walk.
I walked up to Cortney's room and knocked. After a few seconds a brunette girl opened the door.
"Hi, I'm Tessa. Come in." She said.
"I'm Artemis." I said walking in. Cortney was sitting on the sofa watching TV when she saw me she jumped up.
"Are you ready to party ladies?" She said exitedly.
"I know I am." Tessa said. Cortney and Tessa looked at me.
"Who's doing my makeup?" I asked holding up my night bag. Before I could answer Courtney snached the bag out of my hands.
"Take a seat so I can work my magic."
After 2 hours we were ready to go.
"Artemis you look like a snack. Of I were a guy I'd totally snatch you up." Cortney said.
"Yeah. Your mate is going to be so lucky." Tessa agreed.
"Guys we all look fabulous so we're all gonna get snached by guys. Especially you Tessa." I smirked at her. She turned a bright red.
"Let's get going guys." Tessa said. We went to a club that I didn't even bother reading the name of. We went in pushing through sweaty bodies. The club was packed with werewolves with only a few drunk humans here and there.
"What can I get you ladies?" The bartender asked.
"I'll have-" I started before I could finish Courtney cut me off.
"Shots!" Courtney said before I could order my drink.
"Courtney are you out of your mind?" I asked her.
"C'mon it'll be fun." Courtney said.
"Getting drunk isn't fun. All you do is embarrass yourself and puke all over the place." I said. Getting drunk means letting your guard down which I never do.
"Loosen up Artemis. Let's have some fun." Tessa said agreeing with Cortney.
"We'll have 15 shots." Courtney said to the bartender.
"This is crazy." I said looking at the 15 shots infront of me. Sighing I took up a glass drinking it quickly feeling the burning liquid in my throat.
After too many shots to remember I needed to pee. I got up stumbling around trying to find the bathroom. After what feels like forever I finally found the bathroom. I went and did my business then went to wash my hands. I looked in the mirror to see my makeup all over the place so I decided to just wash it off.
I walked out the bathroom not feeling as drunk as went in. As I was going to find Courtney and Tessa I bumped into someone.
"Hey there pretty lady how about we leave this place?" He said coming up in my face. I looked at him disgusted.
"No thanks." I said walked away. Suddenly I felt myself being dragged.
"Now I was trying to be nice but you leave me no choice." He said angrily. By his scent he was a human but that didn't ease my panicking. I can't believe this is happening again.
*flashback *
It had been six months since my parents have died. Six months since I have been a nearby pack. The alpha was so kind since I came here. He was a little off but I brushed it off since he let me and K.C. stay here.
My wolf had recently disappeared and when I told alpha James about it he had this weird glint in his eyes but said it was probably since she was grieving.
But everyday I started feeling weaker. One after I finished eating breakfast alpha James called me to his office. It was the same day he had a meeting with the boss of SOSA.
I walked to his holding on to the wall feeling like I'm about to pass out.
I finally made it to alpha James office. I knocked on the door. Hearing a 'come in' I opened the door and took a seat in front of him.
"I need a favor from you Artemis." He said after a few seconds.
"Sure alpha James. You've been anything but kind to me and my niece since we got here. It's the least I can do to repay you." I said. He smiled weirdly.
"Now I'm sure of my meeting with SOSA." He said.
"Yes. Isn't that in a few hours?" I asked.
"Yes. Now I'm positive they will reject my offer but there's a way you can help me secure this deal." He said still smiling weirdly.
"How?" I asked.
"All you have to do I seduce Mr. Aimilios and he'll surely accept my offer. You're already pretty. All you have to do is sneak in the conference room. I'll give you a few hours to finish. It's the least you can do after all I've done for you can your niece." He said. I looked at him disgusted before getting up from my seat.
"What kind of alpha are you? Trading the bodies of your pack members for your own selfish needs. You're a coward and I want no part of this." I said walking towards the door.
"Fine then. You leave me no choice." I heard him say before I felt something hit the back of my head knocking me out.
I woke up in an unfamiliar room. Groaning I went to place it on my head that was killing me only to find my hands cuffed to the headboard by silver handcuffs.
As I was trying to get out of the cuffs the door opened and in walked alpha James.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked as he walk towards the bed.
"Because I can't resist you so I must have you whether it's against your will or not." He said. "You see when I first saw you I knew I had to have you. That's why I let you here but when I saw you were uninterested in the hints I was sending I decided it was time for plan two so I poisoned your meals with wolfsbane but just enough to make you weak." He continued.
Suddenly he got on top of me and ripped my shirt open.
"Please don't do this." I begged as tears streamed down my face.
"Don't worry you'll soon come to enjoy this." He said caressing my face. Then there was what sound like panicked knocking on the door.
"What is?" Alpha James said annoyed.
"Alpha Mr. Aimilios is here 3 hours early. He's demanding to see you." The person on the other side of the door said.
"What? Tell him I'll be down in a fe-" he said before he was cut off by a thud. Then the door flew open revealing a guy that looked to be in his mid twenties.
"Mr. Aimilios-" James started before he was thrown off me.
"So this is what you do, huh?" The man said angrily. "Sell your pack members like sex slaves to satisfy you greed. If it wasn't for the maid begging me to save this poor girl she would've been another one of your victims." The man continued.
After dragging a battered alpha James away the man came up to me.
"Do you have any family in other packs?" He asked as he untied me. I shook my head no.
"What about your parents?" He asked.
"Dead." I whispered tears falling from my eyes.
"Do you have any relatives left?" He continued.
"Just my niece." I said getting up from the bed.
"Well would you like to work with me?" He asked. I looked up at him scared.
"No not like that. I mean train to become on of my agents. I'll pay you. Until then you can co,e stay with me and my mate." He offered.
"Thank you." I whispered.
*end of flashback *
When I came back to my senses I realized that the guy had brought me into what looked like a janitors closet.
He pushed me into the wall and started kissing my neck. That's when I saw red. I pushed him off me. Using my claws I started scratching at him finding sick satisfaction in his screams. I don't know what came over me but I just continued clawing him even when he stopped moving.
I tried to stop but it's like my body wouldn't listen.
'Ria! What's gotten into you? You need to stop.' I yelled at her as I started panicking.
"I can't." She whispered.
What's happening?
