Two years later
Mia’s POV
”Arggg!” I exclaimed in pain and sluggishly opened my eyes. ”He is doing it again.” My wolf whimpered in pain, forcing me out of bed. With trembling legs, I left the bed, took a few steps to my drawer and opened it. With shaking hands, I took out a bottle of pills, took two tablets and swallowed them in my mouth.
My breath seized while I collapsed on the floor and held on to my chest, which was burning with pain while my body shook with discomfort. ”Please stop!” I pleaded through telepathy. ”Tell me where you are.” He ordered, but I didn’t give him a response. I felt my head buzzing with a strong ache and my teeth gritting with pain, while the tiny mark on my neck felt like it was being pierced with needles.
Without being told, I knew what was going on. Alpha Ricardo was having sex again. This is what he has been doing for the past two years since I went missing.
Two years ago, at the Charles de Gaulle International Airport, I escaped from the restroom through a backdoor which Simone was never aware. I stayed in a hotel for almost a week before I got a small apartment. Alpha Ricardo has been making a mind-link with me, threatening me to tell him where I was, but I never told him.
He threatened me with the mate bond, making threats that he was going to sleep around, so it would inflict so much pain on me and would not stop until I came back home.
With panting breath I shut my eyes waiting for the pain to stop. ”Ask him to please stop.” My wolf pleaded in tears, it was obvious she was in so much pain. With a heavy heart, I made a mind link to him. ”Please stop, you are killing my Wolf.” I pleaded with tears, but didn’t get a response.
With a heavy sigh, I gritted my teeth while a strong wave of pain enveloped my entire body. The pain kept grazing my body until it stopped, which indicates he was done having sex.
With panting breath, I opened my eyes and let the tears fall down freely on my cheek. ”Its over!” I whispered to my wolf, but got a soft whimper from her. ”Are you okay?” I asked my wolf in a whisper, but didn’t get a response. With trembling legs, I stood to my feet and made my way to the bathroom. I could feel my hands trembling as I took off my clothes and stood in the cold, running shower.
Life has been hard for me for the past two years. The little money I took with me has been spent on my house rent and on settling down. I stayed at home for five months, but decided to go seek a job when I realized I was running out of cash.
For the past two years, I have walked in the streets of France with fear, fear that Alpha Ricardo or his men might be somewhere around, but no one came looking for me. Alpha Ricardo knew I was still in France, he knew I had run away, and he only wanted me to return home or tell him where to find me.
”Help me, moon goddess.” I whispered and put off the shower. I wrapped a towel around my chest and left the bathroom. I took out simple fitted black jeans and a fitted gray dress. While putting them on, alpha Ricardo spoke, ”Are you ready to come home or tell me where you are?” He asked in a threatening-like manner. ”Go to hell!” I yelled at him. ”Be ready for what will hit you.” He threatened and ended the mind link. ”Damn you!” I blurted out in anger and dressed up. I sat behind my mirror, dried my hair with the hair dryer and packed it in a bun.
My phone beeped, indicating I had a notification. Curious, I picked it up and realized it was actually a notification about my birthday. Today was supposed to be my 20th birthday, a day every young teenager celebrates, but not for me. With a heavy sigh, I closed my eyes and memories came flashing in my head. I could hear the loud laughter of mother when she came into my room that day. I could remember the promise of getting me a gift. I could remember the heated arguments they had in the car, and finally, I heard our loud screams while our car somersaulted.
Gasping in pain, I opened my eyes and let the tears fall freely on my cheek. It has been four years, but it seems like it was just yesterday, everything seems new and fresh in my memory.
Quickly, I stood on my feet, picked up my bag and left my apartment. I didn’t know where I was going, but I just needed to take these pains away, and I knew the perfect thing to do.
After walking for a bit, I spotted a bar. With a heavy sigh, I got in and sat on the bar, even though I knew it was a bit early to be in a bar because it was just 12pm. ”Can I get you anything?” The bartender asked, ”Yeah, A shot of dry gin.” I responded, while she nodded her head and went for my order.
Within a minute, she came with a shot of dry gin and placed it before me. ”Thanks!” I smiled, picked up the shot and gulped it all into my mouth. I frowned at the taste of the dry gin and went into deep thought. The money I get from my part-time job as a porter in a hotel is little, and I can’t use it to further my education. I knew I needed to get a better job, so I could continue my education, but how do I start looking for one?
”Hi!” A gentleman greeted while he took the stool beside me. ”Hi!” I responded with a weak smile while signalling the waitress to get me another shot.
”I’m Desmond and you are?” He asked, ”I’m Mia.” I answered. ”Mia, nice name.” He praised, while I flashed a quick smile and took my shot. ”Easy girl.” He chuckled while I frown and look away. ”Looks like you are having a bad day.” He said, ”I’m having the worst day of my life.” I murmured while gesturing the waitress to get another shot. ”Oh, I’m so sorry.” He apologized while I nodded my head and tried communicating with my wolf but got no response.
”My friend is having a pool party few blocks away from here, do you mind coming.” He asked, ”Oh!” I responded, not really sure of the answer to give. ”I promise you will like it.” He assured me while I shrugged my shoulders and asked, ”Will there be lots of alcohol?” ” Yeah, a lot and so much more.” He spoke in a convincing manner.
With a deep sigh, I held his gaze and noticed he looked responsible, probably in his late twenties. He was dressed in navy blue long sleeves and black pant. He looked responsible, and I see no harm in his invitation.
”Cool, I’ll join you.” I accepted his invitation and got a grateful smile from him. ”Alright, we should be leaving now.” He said and took out his Wallet. ”How much is my bill?” I asked while going for my bag. ”That won’t be necessary.” He said, ”You don’t have to.” I objected, ”Please let me do it.” He pleaded. ”Fine.” I agreed because I knew he won’t take No for an answer.
I let him pay the bills and walked me out of the bar. He led me to a black car, opened the door for me to go in. ”Thanks.” I said and got in.
He entered the driver’s seat, started up the car and drove off. ”You are a werewolf?” He didn’t say it as a question. ”Are you one?” I asked because he doesn’t seem like one, neither does he have the surrounding aura. ”No, I’m human.” He responded, ”Oh!” I said and looked away. ”So are you one?” He asked, while I responded with a nod. ”Great, I think you will be great friends with my cousin, he is a werewolf, his father is a werewolf while his mother, my aunt is a human.”he explained. ”Nice.” I whispered and relaxed on the seat. The three shots I took are already having a little effect on me, but I didn’t care, I just wanted to forget everything around me.
Just like he said, the house was just a few blocks away. He drove into a building which had the writing, ”Pillock estate, block two”. ”We are here.” He announced while I moved my gaze around. ”The party is happening at the pool side.” He said while we both came out of the car. He led me to the pool, where I saw ladies and dudes in swimming suits having fun. They were all dancing to the loud music while some were making out. ”Come with me.” He said and led me to a group of young dudes. ”Hey Desmond” They greeted while shaking hands. I watched them exchange handshakes with him before moving their gaze to me. ”Hello dear.” They greeted, while I responded with a smile. ”Hey guys, meet Mia, Mia meet my friends, Louis, Dennis, and Charles.” He introduced me to them and each took my hand and placed a kiss. ”You are beautiful.” One of the guys complimented, making me blushed. ”Thanks.” I shyly responded. ”Wait here, I’ll get us a drink.” Desmond said, while I nodded my head and watched him leave. ”You are a werewolf, right?” Louis asked, ”You could tell?” I asked, ”Yeah, your temperature is different from ours.” he responded while I smiled and looked away. ”Here.” Desmond came back and handed a glass to me. ”You drink whiskey, right?” He asked while he opened a bottle of whiskey, poured some in his glass and filled up my glass.
He took a sip of his drink while I did the same. ”Come, I’ll show you around.” He said and led me away. We walked around the pool, staring at everyone having fun with each other. Still recalling my problem, I emptied my glass in a swift motion. ”Are you okay?” Desmond asked, while I nodded my head, gesturing him to fill up my glass, which he did.
After filling up my glass, I took a sip of my drink and tiredly rested my back on the wall. I was feeling weak and maybe drunk, but something else was strange. I was feeling uncomfortable within me.
”Are you okay?” Desmond asked while I shook my head, ”Where is the restroom?” I asked, ”I’ll show you.” He said and led the way while I slowly walked behind him.
He took me inside the house and led me to a door which, I believed, was a restroom. He got to the door, opened it and stood aside for me to go in. ”Thanks!'” I whispered, and went in.
The moment I went in, he got in and shut the door. ”What… Are…” I asked in fear. ”What does it look like.” He said and took steps towards me, while I took steps backwards.
Curious, I moved my gaze and realized It wasn’t a restroom, rather it was a room. ”What…” I tried speaking but realized I was getting weaker. ”What… Is… happening… To …me…” I shuttered in fear and collapsed on the floor. My breath became unstable while my wolf whined in pain and discomfort. ”What did you give to me.” I asked in fear while rolling on the floor. ”A little wolf bane was put in the drink and since I’m human, it won’t have an effect on me.” He said with a chuckle and squat before me. ”Too bad you won’t be able to shift into your wolf, at least for the next few hours.” He chuckled loudly and stood on his feet.
With panting breath, I watched him take off his shirt and pants. ”What are you doing?” I asked while trying to get on my feet, but I collapsed back on the floor. ”What does it look like I’m doing?” He responded with a grin which sent fear down my spine. He was going to have his way with me, that’s why he drugged me with a wolf bane, so I wouldn’t be able to do anything until he had his way. ”Please stop!” I pleaded but got a loud chuckle from him as he took off his underwear, standing naked before me. Taking a glimpse of his huge dick sent fear all over my body. ”No, No, please help” I tried shouting, but my voice came like a whisper. ”Don’t bother, no one will hear you.” He said and lifted me up from the floor.
He threw me to the bed, parted my legs and knelt between my thighs. In a swift motion, he unzipped my jeans, sending a cold shiver down my spine. I was too weak to move, neither could I say a word nor struggle with him. Hot tears trimmed down my cheek while I watched him pulling down my jeans.
