My eyes fluttered open as I slowly came to. If I opened my eyes to see that I was still back at the dungeon with Ethan, that would suck.
I groaned as I slowly sat up. The back of my head hurt like a bítch and I felt sore from when Ethan slammed my back against the bars of the cells. Son of a bítch! When I get my hands on him, he's gonna regret it big time.
"Glad to see you're awake," A deep and husky voice said, pulling me out of my murderous thoughts. I flinched a little, not expecting it. I slowly turned my head to the side and saw the most handsome man I'd ever come across, handsome was even an understatement to describe such magnificence. If Zeus existed, he'd probably look like this man with his bulging muscles and well structured abdominal muscles, his Adonis belt dipping low into his trousers that hung loosely around his waist, making his small hairs visible, they were kind of golden in color. He had midnight black hair which was cut in a quiff style. His right arm was covered in tattoo inks which were difficult to decipher while his left arm had the head of a black Wolf that covered the whole of his arm. Around his neck was a necklace with a skull pendant. He had on black pin earrings on both ears. All in all, he looked like those hot bad boys that my mom told me to steer clear of when I was six. He looked like my next hot meal.
I scowled when my thoughts started to wonder too far.
"Who the heck are you?!" I asked.
He chuckled because he had noticed me ogling him but he was smart enough to not point it out.
"I should be asking you the same question since after all, you were the one who bumped into me."
"I bumped into you?!" I scoffed. "Yeah, right."
"You really don't remember?" He arched his brow.
"Look," I said and stood up, dusting the back of my trousers. "I don't know who the hell you are but I'm sure of one thing, you've completely lost your mind."
"Is that how you thank the person who saved you?"
"Saved me?" I laughed and shook my head. "You really have lost it." I walked over to him and continuously poked his chest with my index finger. "Look here Mr. 'I saved you'. I saved myself, you didn't save me so I don't know what the hell you're talking about!"
"So you would have preferred it if I let you fall face flat on the ground and smashed your face which isn't even that pretty to begin with?" He arched a brow and I could literally feel steam coming out of my nostrils. "Alright then," He shrugged. "If you happen to bump into me again, I'll keep that in mind."
"That's never going to happen!" I growled.
"If you say so, Witch."
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!" I yelled. If only I had my Wolf, I would have ripped his head from his neck with my claws.
"Rude, feisty, ungrateful and now, deaf," He murmured with a tired sigh which made me ball my fists in anger.
"I'm not a Witch."
"So you're not deaf after all." He côcked a sardonic brow. "But the way your look says otherwise."
"There is nothing wrong with the way I look. I look fine!" I snapped and he snorted and crossed his arms.
"Yeah, right. You look like you had a run in with a hurricane. Want me to take a picture so you can see for yourself?"
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" I was starting to get really pissed. I had just met him and he already had me more riled up than I ever was in the Grimfur Canines Pack.
"You didn't tell me who you are so why should I?" He quirked a brow.
"You know what? Forget it!" I turned around and started to make my way back to the pack but his next statement stopped me in my tracks.
"Shirt."
"What?" I turned back around to face him.
"I want my shirt back."
"I'm not with your....." I looked down at myself to see that I was indeed wearing his shirt. Shit! I remembered Ethan was able to rip part of my top, revealing some sensitive parts. My face turned red in embarrassment at the thought of the stranger seeing me that way. I finally knew why he was shirtless, he covered me up with his shirt and I was rude to him, dammit! "I.... urmmm.... can I hold on to it? I promise to take good care of it." I batted my eyelashes at him hoping it would work. It didn't.
"No."
"But I need it, I can't go back looking..... like the way I do," I murmured.
"Well.... If you say please, I might reconsider." He smirked.
I bit down hard on my lower lip. Ever since I was taken to the Grimfur Canines Pack, I'd never for once used the word please, no matter how many times I got hit for it but now, I had no choice. I couldn't go back to the pack half dressed, no one would understand or even believe me if I said Ethan nearly took advantage of me. I might even get brutalised for saying such.
"I'm waiting," He said, breaking me out of my thoughts. I sighed and nodded.
"Please let me borrow your shirt, I promise to take care of it," I muttered sweetly.
"Awwn, how cute," He grinned evilly. "But my answer is still no, hand it over."
"What? Why?! I did as you asked!"
"That doesn't make up for your attitude. Hand it over."
"Whatever!" I took off the shirt and threw it at him. "You and your shirt can both rot in hell!" After saying that, I turned around and walked away in anger.
When I get my Wolf, I'll hunt him down and kill him!
UNKNOWN P.O.V
I was casually walking through the woods when I heard the sounds of soft footsteps. I prepared myself for an attack and pushed my Wolf to the front of my mind in preparation to shift if the need arose. What I wasn't expecting to see, was a malnourished young lady who looked really frightened. I retracted my claws and watched as she ran blindly. A second later, she bumped into me and stumbled but I caught her before she fell. I asked who she was but she didn't seem to hear me. I asked again but she passed out before she could respond.
I laid her gently on the ground and examined her. Her violet colored top was badly ripped exposing the tender parts of her skin. The top had claw marks so she probably escaped from a Wolf. Her long black hair was scattered around her but that didn't take from her beauty. For someone so malnourished, she had really healthy hair. Her lips were chapped and dry and her neck was long. Her brèasts were quite small in size. Basically everything about her was smallish and the extremely large top she wore didn't help matters. She looked so fragile, like she could easily break at the slightest impact but something told me that wasn't the case. She might look weak and vulnerable but something told me she's from a strong lineage. She didn't have a Wolf but my Wolf could sense her powers. It wasn't noticeable but it was there and it seemed to be growing stronger which meant she'd be getting her Wolf soon.
I sighed as I noticed faded scars on her. I couldn't help but trace them with my fingers. I didn't know why but I felt determined to protect her, to save her from those who hurt her and to kill them all, brutally.
Who is she? I asked my Wolf.
I don't know but I feel some sort of connection toward her.
Do you think she's our mate?
I don't think so but there's something about her, something I can't quite place.
I took off my shirt and wrapped it around her. In the process of doing so, I saw a huge bump on her head. I didn't know when a loud growl escaped from my mouth but I had to keep my Wolf in check because he could be feral when angry. I had no idea why he was reacting this way because he's never been protective of any woman. This showed that this lady and I had some sort of connection, now I just had to figure out what. I stood up and walked some distance away, watching her as she slept.
I really wasn't expecting someone so small and fragile looking to be so feisty. It was fun teasing her and watching her get all riled up.
"That doesn't make up for your attitude. Hand it over," I smirked, referring to my shirt. I really didn't want to get it back but she needed to learn a lesson..... or two.
"Whatever!" She snapped and took off the shirt, throwing it at me. "You and your shirt can both rot in hell!" After saying that, she turned around and walked away in anger. I watched in amusement as she stomped away, her arms around her chest.
Do you think we'll see her again?
Yes. I have a feeling that we will, sooner than we think and maybe, we can kill those bástards that hurt her.
Good. I smirked. Its been a while I had some real fun.
IRIS's P.O.V
I dreaded returning to the pack house, not because I was scared but because I wasn't ready to hear Alpha Cray say shït to me about not being around when I was needed and no one would believe me if I told them their fücking son tried to take advantage of me. They'd pick his side and then beat me up and I really wasn't ready for that.
I took a deep breath as I walked into the pack house. As I stepped in, I heard a large roar. Here goes nothing.
"ELISE!! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" Alpha Cray roared as he angrily walked toward me.
"None of your business," I murmured and his eyes darkened in anger. His eyes roamed around my exposed chest, stopping on my cleavage for some seconds before returning his gaze to my face.
"Who would have thought you've grown so much," He chuckled and hungrily licked his lips. I felt disgusted by his attitude. I covered my chest with my arms and he smirked. "Seems like you went to have some fun. Anyway, next time you plan on whóring around, let me know. You have no right to leave the premises without my permission. Understood?"
I didn't respond and he gripped my chin hard, with his fingers. "I said, understood?"
"Understood," I murmured and he let me go.
"Good." He nodded. Without another word, I went to the basement and plopped down on my bed.
For the first time in eleven years, I cried. I let out every pent up anger, pain and hate. After crying for over an hour, I heard a knock on my door. I hurriedly wiped my face, there was no way I was going to let anyone in this pack see my cry. After making sure I looked presentable, I walked to the door and opened it.
"Hello Elise." Ethan said with a creepy smile as he stepped in. I took a step backwards, distancing myself from him and took a deep breath.
"What are you doing in here and what do you want? You're not supposed to be here."
"You. I want you." He said and grabbed my arm forcefully. "And I will have you! And this time around, my Wolf won't help you. You're on your own, Elise." He laughed menacingly.
