Scarlett:
I looked around the room, scanning my surroundings as I tried to familiarize myself with the area. My back stung as I clenched my fists on the edge of the bed, focusing on the target that I needed to do. My wolf, who was usually quiet, tamed, and under control, whimpered, disagreeing with me for the first time. My heart throbbed for her, the lone broken wolf who was forced to survive in the shadows for us to stay safe.
I knew that I had to find a way out of this hellhole, staying here was something that I didn’t want, and the idea of him getting inside this room to claim me as his own was something that I didn’t even want to think of, and knowing that I wouldn’t have any chance against him; I knew that I needed to run away from here.
I walked toward the door, my hand shaking as I extended it to the knob, wanting to open it. However, I was quick to retreat as I heard footsteps getting closer, and forcing myself to run and sit on the edge of the bed, I watched as the bedroom’s door opened, revealing five women wearing medical outfits.
“Hello, Lady Scarlett, we were told that you were in need of assistance” a woman, not older than twenty-two, said, looking at me. She nodded at the two nurses who were with her, motioning for them to approach me; however, taking them off guard, I pushed past them, running away from the room. It was the only chance that I had, and despite knowing that I didn’t know where I was; I knew that I would eventually find my way out of here, I had to.
“HEY!” The nurse yelled. Having caught the attention of one of the men, he let out a low growl before following me, but I didn’t have time to stop as I took off, running full speed, not caring that I wore nothing but the Alpha’s jacket. The last thing I cared about was how I looked; the men saw me naked earlier; therefore, I didn’t give a damn.
“Really, Scarlett?” I heard Ivan, the idiot who carried me to the room earlier. His arm wrapped around my waist, lifting me over his shoulders, not caring that I was squirming in his arms, punching his back as I tried freeing myself of his grasp. The man didn’t even flinch as he walked forward, and raising myself on his shoulder, I tried to slide down from his arms. However, the man wouldn’t budge, he didn’t seem affected at all.
“LET ME GO!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, my punches never stopping for a second as my heart raced against my chest. Ivan didn’t stop walking until I caught the Alpha’s scent as he approached us, his footsteps slow, intimidating, and threatening.
Ivan set me down, and ignoring the fact that I was set to stand in front of the Alpha, I still tried running away. Alexei wrapped his hand around my arm, stopping me, his grip right as he forced me to stop. I squirmed, trying to free myself, and I couldn’t help but notice that he wasn’t wearing a shirt. The smell of sex and another woman made me gag.
“Where do you think you’re going?” He asked, his eyes glaring daggers at me. Ignoring the pain in my arm, I tried pulling it away from his grasp. Alexei growled, wrapping his arm around my waist, he lifted me over his shoulder, slapping my bum when I squirmed again. My bum ached; however, I didn’t make a sound, knowing that it would end up satisfying him, and he didn’t deserve that.
“I am leaving” I snapped, challenging him. My wolf whimpered for a second, making me frown as this was the first time she’s done so, and I could swear that Alexei’s tense body relaxed a bit before he entered his bedroom. He glared at the doctor and nurses, motioning for them to leave. The women walked out of the room, leaving us alone as they kept their eyes on the ground. My heart raced, and my eyes widened when he threw me on the ground. My back aching at the force of the bump, my eyes tearing up as I bit my bottom lip to prevent myself from screaming out.
He kneeled down in front of me, wrapping his hand around my neck, choking me. He forced my body up, before pulling my hair, making me look at him, my brown, usually curly hair getting ripped under his force. I put my hand on his wrist, trying to pry his hand from me “I own you, do you understand me?”
“You don’t…”
He slapped me before choking me, pushing me back, stopping me from completing my sentence, as I slammed my head against the floor before he got up. The force of the bump making my world spin as I put my right hand on the floor, wanting to catch my breath “you will be left with no food or water for the day, and I swear to you, Scarlett, if you try a stunt like that again, you will be paying for it”
He walked out of the room before I could answer, and putting a hand on the back of my head, I frowned when I saw blood on my hand. I sat up, resting back against the bed, wrapping my arms around my knees as I hugged myself, getting lost in my thoughts.
My vision blurred, and regardless of trying to force myself to stay awake, I couldn’t. My hands were shaking as I tried to process what was happening. The room felt tight around me, and knowing that the man could come any second.
My eyes grew heavy and I knew that there was no point in staying awake anyway. I needed to find a way out of here, but judging by what happened today; I didn’t know how that would be possible.
Therefore, allowing myself to close my eyes and giving in to the darkness.
I closed my eyes, my racing heartbeat calming a little.
“Get some sleep, Scarlett, you can think about running away later…”
Alexei: I frowned when I entered the room to find Scarlett laying on the floor with a pool of blood under her head. “Shit” I whispered, running toward her, lifting her in my arms. I could hear her heartbeat weakening and her calm breathing. The woman has been here an hour so far, and the last thing I expected was to find her laying on the ground when I came back. I laid her on the bed, not caring that she was bleeding, and taking off my shirt, I placed it under her head the wound. I knew not to call the doctors or nurses, I needed to get new ones anyway. I walked to the bathroom and brought the first aid kit. “You really are a handful, Scarlett” I said, running my finger over her cheekbone. Slowly removing the jacket of her body. I walked to my closet and pulled a black shirt, setting aside, I removed the pillow which was smudged with her blood, and covered the cut that was on her back, bandaging them. Slowly wrapping a scarf around her head, covering the cut. I slowly raised her,
Scarlett: Tears fell from my eyes before I could stop them as my walls stretched to fit the Alpha. His forehead resting against my own as he kept his eyes on me, clearly amused by my expression. His words played in my head with each passing second, and I could feel his veins pumping inside me as he stayed completely still, watching me, taking deep, slow breaths. Our hearts raced against our chests, and despite hating to admit it, they both matched in rhythm. His hand, which was holding both my hands up over my head, let me go as his arms wrapped around me, holding me close, kissing me. His kiss was tender, gentle, and had it been any other situation, one would have actually thought that he was my lover, hell, I would have mistaken him for being my lover. His lips moved from my lips to my cheek, nose, forehead, and neck, clearly wanting to distract me from the pain of being stretched to him. His arms which were wrapped around me, caressed my back gently, his touch soothing despite t
Alexei:I glared at Scarlett, and never in my life did I find the urge to punch someone in the face so hard to contain.Her body which was still under me, reminding me that she was two times smaller than I was, was sore, bruised, and beaten, and the last thing I wanted to do was break her more than she already was.I sat up, moving from on top of her, heading to the bathroom to get myself cleaned. The last thing I needed or wanted was to get into an argument with a slave at five in the morning, and if she was refusing to be tamed, then I would know how to deal with her my way.I smirked at the sight of her blood coating my cock, a reminder that I was the one person to touch her, and that would be the case, until at least, I grew tired of her. Getting in the shower, I quickly washed myself before getting out of the shower and wrapping a towel around me. I could hear Scarlett’s racing heartbeat as she anticipated the worst. I wasn’t sure what she expected, but I had nothing to tell he
Scarlett:I woke up to Alexei getting up from bed.Sitting up, I rubbed my temple, slowly massaging it as I tried to soothe the pain in my head.“Good morning” Alexei said, not turning to face me. His toned back faced me, his muscles flexed and I couldn’t help but stare at him.“Can I take a shower?” I asked, not bothering to respond. “The bathroom is right here, you don’t need to ask permission to go” he said, pointing at the door.“Thank you” I said, lowering my gaze to the ground when he turned to face me. My heart raced against my ribcage as he approached me.He sat on the edge of the bed, and extending his hand, I couldn’t help but flinch “I won’t hurt you”I stayed still, watching as he removed my hair from my neck, touching the mark on my neck. The mark sent sparks running down my spine, and seeing my reaction, Alexei smiled at me.“You’re in a good mood” I stated. He chuckled, shaking his head at me.“You are one interesting woman, has anyone ever told you that” he said, maki
Alexei:“Madeline, you will be in charge of taking care of Scarlett. Teach her the rules of the estate and make sure that she doesn’t go around shifting and killing the other wolves” I said, looking Maddie in the eye. Her brown eyes met my blue ones and she shook her head at me, crossing her arms over her chest.“Something happened, and considering that you just called me Madeline, I have a feeling that you are more than just a little pissed off” she said, raising an eyebrow at me. Maddie, Ivan, and I grew up together and considering that, she was never treated like the other maids despite that being her job.“She’s just being a handful” I said, pinching the bridge of my nose. The fact that she was different made this a lot more exciting; however, I wasn’t sure whether it was in a good way or a bad one “I slapped her today”“You, Alpha Alexei, laid your hand on a woman?” Madeline asked, straightening up “that’s a first. She must have really annoyed you if you resolved to the one thing
Scarlett:I walked out of the bathroom to frown when I saw a woman sitting on Alexei’s bed. Her blonde hair was loose over her shoulders as she scrolled through the phone, and I couldn’t help but frown when I heard the bedroom’s door get locked. Her eyes met mine, and she raised an eyebrow, looking me up and down. Her brown eyes met my green ones, and regardless of the fact of having a towel wrapped around me, I couldn’t help but feel exposed as her eyes scanned me for a second too long.She twirled her finger around a lock of her straight, blonde hair before standing up, showing me a few clothes that were on the edge of the bed. I looked at the clothes, then at her, waiting for her to voice out what she wanted to say.“I wasn’t sure of your size, but if they’re too big, we can always tighten them, at least, until you’ve gotten your own clothes” she said, taking a step back. “Whose clothes are they?”“They’re mine, but don’t worry, the underwear are new. I figured that you could use
Alexei:I watched as Scarlett walked out of Maddie’s room, her eyes were fixed on the ground as she wiped her tears from her face. The shirt she wore was loose over her body, proving to me that she was a few pounds thinner than Madeline was, and seeing as she decided to leave her hair to dry naturally, her hair was now forming natural curls.I frowned at the sight of the bruise that formed on her cheek, and I couldn’t help the low growl that escaped my chest, catching her and Madeline’s attention. She wouldn’t look at me as she kept her head down, and watching as Maddie walked toward me, my chest rumbled with the low growl that had her tensing.“What happened here?” I asked, glaring at Maddie who bit her bottom lip. Her heart raced as she saw my anger through my eyes, lowering her gaze to the ground, and knowing her, I knew that Madeline only lowered her gaze when she knew that she had crossed her limits or when she knew that she did something wrong.“I reminded her of her place. She
Scarlett:“Why did you choose to bring me here?” I asked, looking at Alexei who put his glass of water down to look at me. The smell of flowers made me relax as I remembered the smell of my mother, her memory made my chest ache; however, I couldn’t help but picture her the second I smelled the orchids. She loved orchids.“Why do you try to find a reason behind literally everything? Can’t you just take something good into your heart? I don’t know, just accept it without asking too many questions?” He asked, glaring daggers at me. I looked down at my plate, taking a deep breath as Madeline’s words played in my head. I knew that I shouldn’t be playing with fire the way that I was, I was never allowed any freedom of speech back at the facility; however, regardless of being punished, I never seemed to learn.“I came to learn that nothing is done for no reason, there’s usually a price to pay…”“And you’re assuming that I would make you pay a price for being genuine with you?” He asked, sto
