I woke up and noticed I was sitting on a chair. I tried to stand up but was met with resistance. My hands and legs were tied to a chair. I struggled to free myself, but it was of no use. The bindings were very strong, as if they were made for a werewolf.
I tried to scream, but my mouth was sealed with tape. I struggled, trying to free myself, but it was to no avail. I tried to scream out my frustration. Everything was dark and stunk, and I couldn't see anything because my eyes were blindfolded. I couldn't smell anything either.
My brain was feeling foggy from the effects of the drugs. I tried to reach out to Kiayra or Hermes, all to no avail. I suspect they had given me something that had weakened my wolf. Because I couldn't feel her, no matter how hard I reached inside her.
I was getting frustrated, or I already was. The lack of scent was making me feel anxious. I was as blind as a bat, and also deaf. The worst thing that could happen to a werewolf is not being able to feel their environment, and that was happening to me. I felt naked. It was almost as if I were a human.
I stayed there for goddess knows how long, trying to strain my ears to hear any sound. I stayed like that for so long that I fell asleep.
I jerked up as I felt the cold water on my skin. I opened my mouth to scream, but it was still sealed, so it came out as a muffled sound. "Hmm, mmm, mmm." I struggled to say something.
I was shivering; my teeth were clashing against each other. I could feel goosebumps on my hands. The weather had gotten chilly and I was drenched with water, which wasn't good. I was going to catch a cold if I stayed in this outfit.
"Ahhhh!" I screamed as the person ripped the tape from my mouth. It hurts like a bitch!
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" I screamed out. "What have I ever done to you?"
Thwack! My head turned to the other side as I felt a stinging slap to my face. I tasted metal in my mouth, and I spat out the blood. Shit! The person must be a werewolf because it isn't human strength.
"Who the fuck are you?" I felt another slap on my right cheek.
"You fucking whore! Go back to your country and leave us alone!" I felt saliva on my face as the female voice screamed so close to me.
Wait, I know that voice. It sounds oddly familiar. "Anna!" I spat it out like it was a curse.
"So, you finally figured it out? I thought your dumb brain wasn't capable of it."
"Anna! What have I ever done to you?" I remember her clearly; she was the same intern that gave me the drugs, so that means she laced the drugs with something. I shuffled in my seat, trying to get closer to the sound of her voice. "You drugged me! Why?"
She refused to answer. "I said, why did you drug me? What the hell did you want?" She still kept quiet. I shuffled closer to her and tried to hit her with my body. "Speak, you fucking bitch!" What the hell did I do to you?" I was seething in my chair, wishing I could stand up and punch her.
"You took my mate from me!"
I didn't even know about her till I got to the hospital, so how will I know her mate? "Your mate? You must be mistaken; I don't know anyone like that, nor did I take him or her."
"Richard! You took Richard from me." I knew it.
"Are you delusional? Richard isn't your mate. He is mine. So, get out of your fucking head."
"He is my mate, you bitch." I didn't see her legs reach out to kick me, but I definitely felt the impact. My head met the ground first before my body followed suit. I was still tied to the chair, so we fell together.
The pain went through me like a sword, and I clenched my teeth. If I were a kid, I would have cried, but I bit my lip to stop the tears. "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Luna. I didn't mean to kick you."
She rushed to my side and helped me sit up. "I'm so sorry." She sounded remorseful, so I decided to try my luck.
"Untie me. This is unlike you, Anna. You are not like this. Richard wouldn't be happy with you if he found out what you had done. But if you release me, I can plead on your behalf."
She grew silent, as if mulling it over. "Please Anna," I begged, which was unusual for an Alpha, but I was at a crossroads. I have to be careful so she doesn't hurt my child. "Even if it isn't for me, do it for my child. I am pregnant, Anna. And I know you will never kill an unborn child."
"Shut up! JUST SHUT UP! Stop trying to patronize me." I heard her footsteps retreat, and I was all alone in the room. I shivered as the chilly air blew into the room, the wet clothes still clinging to me. My stomach chose to growl at that time. I was hungry. I hadn't eaten anything again after the bucket of chicken, and my insides were biting me.
My ears stood as they heard footsteps coming. "Drink," she said before shoving a bottle of water under my mouth. I drank it hurriedly, not even caring if it was poisoned. Some spilled on me. She shoved a plate of food under my nose. I sniffed it, trying to smell if it was poisoned, but it was useless. I couldn't smell anything since something was blocking my werewolf side.
"Eat! It isn't poisoned," she commanded. But I refused. I didn't want to be drugged again.
"I need to at least see what I am eating." She thought about it for a moment before she huffed and came behind me, removing the blindfold.
I opened my eyes, but everything was still dark. I had to blink my eyes several times before I began to see well. I look around, trying to place where we are, but it doesn't look familiar.
We were probably in an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. We were in a large empty room with only a daintily naked bulb hanging from the roof. The room had no furniture, just a chair where I am currently seated, and I saw a mat lying in the corner.
She stretched her hands and fed me the burger she was holding. It was embarrassing and unheard of that someone of my status was fed like a beggar, but I had no choice. I have to eat and survive for my child.
I finished up the burger, eating the last bite for a long time to preserve the taste. It was barely enough to feed me, but at least it was able to quiet my noisy stomach. I drank all the water in the bottle so it could fill my stomach.
She didn't say anything, but instead she returned to where she was staying. She was standing and watching. I raised my head to the skies, trying to think of a way to escape.
If only I had my strength, I would have escaped by now. But I wonder how humans live when they are this useless. There is no superhuman strength, a sensitive nose, or keen vision. I can't remain like this. No!
I was watching her, wondering when she would fall asleep, but she continued standing, staring into space, as if waiting for someone. But who?
My question was answered after a while, when a haggard-looking man with black hair stumbled inside the building, balancing grocery bags in his hands.
"What took you so long?" Anna snapped at the man.
"I'm sorry, honey. It wasn't easy transporting the material." He explained before he rushed to her side and tried to give her a kiss, but she invaded it.
"Stop calling me honey. I hate that name. So did you get everything?"
"Yes, I did. They are in the car." He went out and came back, dragging a mattress with him. He went back and brought some blankets and extra grocery bags. He set the mattress and blanket at the far end of the room.
Anna looked at his work and smiled. "You did a good job, and I think you deserve a reward. Come here and give me a kiss." The man smiled like he had won the lottery. He literally skipped to her side and placed his lips gently on her, as if testing the water.
I was surprised. Why was she allowing another man to kiss her if she claimed Richard was her mate? But then the strangest thing happened: He deepened the kiss and she moaned before they started clawing at each other, not caring if I was still in the room.
I had to turn my eyes away to give them privacy. . You wouldn't react like that to just anyone, unless they were your mate. I looked at them again and they were still getting it on, and it clicked. Shit! That is her mate.
What the hell is going on now? I was confused. As I noticed that they wanted to start tearing their clothes, I cleared my throat loudly, and she jumped, pushing him again.
The man looked at me as if he had noticed me for the first time. "Is she the whore?" I growled murderously and struggled to reach him so I could tear him to pieces. How dare he call me a whore. But the drugs were still in my system, and I was still a human.
"Shut up, don't call her a whore." She barked at him.
"But you said she was." She glared at him, and he kept quiet. From the look of things, he was a human who didn't know about our kind. And he was going to do everything possible to please her. The mate bond is truly a bitch. He was hooked, and there was no way of escaping it.
Night came and he left, but she stayed with me, lying on the bed and watching me till she fell asleep on the bed. I was on the chair, sitting awkwardly due to how I was tied. But you can't cheat nature, so I found myself dozing in that position.
