Chapter 4
I just realized that I let out a whole chapter 😂. Lol but I'm trying to update real fast because I just realized that people actually added this book to their library. Anyways enjoy
Is it wrong to feel frightened or terrified of waking up to another day.
Is it wrong to get tired of bottling up so much pain and hurt.
Is it wrong to feel as if you do not mean anything to anyone .
Is it wrong to ... Is it wrong to want to end it all.
At times I just wished that I'd never existed. My life is a mess. Hell I'm a mess ,a loser a sad excuse of a human.
That's enough negativity Natalia. Maybe today will be different. Its another day, I have another chance to make things better. Another opportunity to make things turn around
Another chance
Greg didn't come home last night which was a huge relief for me. Having him around was hell on earth trust me. I finally took a shower in peace and made myself something to eat. I was able to do my assignments last night so I was in no rush.
Smile Natalia. Today's gonna be a good day. I arrived at school earlier than usual and settled myself in my usual seat at the back of the class. Nobody was in at the time. Good. It gave me time to study for the upcoming test.
The door swung open a few minutes later. I didn't pay heed to it and continued with reading. All was well until my chin was tilted up by a very rough finger.
I shut my eyes and instinctively flinched away. Living with Greg made me act that way so blame him.
My eyes met with the same deep blue ones I couldn't get off my mind.
Was this the part that he would sweep me off my feet and kiss me senselessly. Was this the part where he'd tell me that everything will be ok.
He walked up to me then stood.
Yeah he just stood
"You are my beloved but I do not want you"
Annnd he ruined it. First of all, what the actual flying fuck. I mean who walks up to a person then says that.
But, at least... At least he was honest. I would not want me too.
"If I were you, I wouldn't want me too"I spat back
It didn't take a genius to realize that he was my mate. These things did happen, according to the books
I looked at him straight in the eye and sighed. He was my second chance .
Just by looking at him ,just by being in his presence i felt safe and for a minute I forgot. I forgot about Greg. I forgot about Kyle. I forgot about my sad ass life and for the first time in my life I had ...
Hope
I didn't have the energy to lie to myself and say that I was being sarcastic because deep down in the inside of my dark and emotionless heart, I craved to be loved
"Do what you must"I said forcing down the hurt and the tears that were about to spill
Queens do not cry
That startled him
"I Xavier Russo rejec..."
He suddenly stopped in the middle of his statement looked at me with such raw intensity that made me let out a harsh exhale.
"I Natalia Wilson rejec.."
"Stop"he growled
Strange.
"I'm sorry I do not know what came over me"
His voice was deep and rough and it sounded like music to my ears. This is not right. I cant let him have a hold on me. I cannot afford to get attached.
Trust me when I tell you that being lonely for a long period of time can mess you up when you meet a potential partner. This is because you'll do anything to cling onto that person and what makes you do that is the fear of being alone
"Could you please let go now"I whispered afraid of angering him. My bruises were not fully healed and if he were to hurt me then that would probably be the end of me.
He looked unsure and seemed as if he were having a battle within. His eyes darkened and he took in a sharp breath. His eyes shut and his jaw clenched. Slowly he withdrew his hand and stepped back
Better.
"Natalia,you need to come with me"
It did not sound like a request. It was more of a command and to which I said 'Hell no'. Life taught me that it was better the devil I knew that an angel I have never met.
I shook my head furiously. I was not going to leave with him. Why on earth would I do that.
"No? What makes you think you have a choice!Nobody cares about you or your existence here!Why would you want to stay"
"Leave me alone you psychotic stalker wolf. You've been watching me you sick perve"
"Speaking like that could cost you your head little girl"
"I'm not leaving with you you psychopath "
"Psycho. You think I am psychotic. I am not psychotic. Your worst nightmare could never compare to what I am"
He let out a crazed laugh that made him look insane. His eyes turned crimson red and his face morphed into something words could not describe.
"What are you"
"I'm a Lycan sweetheart and you are my mate."
"But I already have a mate dumbass "
I decided to play dumb. Judging from his aura ,this guy was dangerous
He growled at that and he began pacing back and forth
"You mean that sad excuse of an alpha that rejected you"
"Just reject me and things can go back to normal. I will not utter a single word about you or being your mate if you let me go"
"See that the thing. I cannot and will not do that. I may find you repulsive and I may hate your species but I am not leaving this place without you"
"I will scream!"I threatened and he let out a dark chuckle
"Go right ahead"
I knew better. Nobody would come to my aid. There was no use.
"I will either have to do this the easy way or the heard way. You choose"
"I wont leave with you"
"The hard way it is"
A sharp pain spread all over my head and all I remember seeing was two deep blue eyes before everything went dark
*. *. *.
Before
"Your majesty w...?"
"I need a spell to hide her from unwanted eyes"
"Welcome back? "
"I want it done fast."
"Why do you have a human girl in your arms if I may ask"
"Its none of your business warlock,now cast the spell"
"She is very stunning your majesty"
"The spell"
"As you wish your highness"
* - * -
My head hurt and my entire body felt as if it were crushed . I snapped my eyes open and noticed that I was not in my room. Where was I.
The interior of the room I was in seemed as if it were designed during the early 60 s. I was scared. The only thing I remembered was being in class and the blue eyed male .
I have to get home otherwise Greg would overreact and hit me .The last time I was home late I landed in the emergency room .
I sat up and noticed that I was not in my normal clothes instead I was dressed in a simple plain white dress that its length reached my ankles.
That's when it hit me. I've been abducted.
Finally
Maybe maybe this is the chance I've been waiting for . Maybe this is finally my place of solace. A place away from the pain,the hurt,the sadness and because I have unknown origins, my kidnappers will realize that I am useless and I could probably negotiate with them for me to be released
This could all end well.
Note the sarcasm
I got off the bed despite it being the softest I had ever laid on and walked to what I supposed was the door. I tried opening it but it was locked.
Positive thinking. Maybe someone locked it by mistake. Yeah. They are trying to keep me safe from the beasts outside
The room started becoming smaller and cramped up. I was getting overwhelmed by all that was happening.
I blame Greg for this
Breath Natalia,breath
That was until the door opened.
It was a girl who stood at the other side. She seemed to be my age but a bit taller. She was very beautiful but the look she gave me countered it. She seemed very annoyed almost pissed off. I know I hadn't done anything to cause her to be upset. She probably woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.
"Ah so the princess is finally awake."she said sarcastically as she strolled into the room.
I noticed how her eyes seemed to hold so much malice and distaste towards me
Before I could utter a single word,as sharp sting was all I could feel on my cheek.
Calm. Be calm
"What was that for?"I asked trying to not make my vulnerability evident.
She laughed and slapped me again
Pain
"You should be in the kitchen slave working with the others not sleeping the day away"
"Slave?"
Did Greg sell me?
I knew that he would fucking do this one day
"You were brought in by the crowned prince himself and he truly made a mistake because you look weak and useless. You are pathetic and will always be inferior . Never forget that"she but yelled
"I'm sorry but I think that this is all a misunderstanding. I haven't encountered this prince you speak of and I cannot recall accepting to be a slave
"Oh please. Acting innocent wont help . We know that you are the daughter of the hunter that was sent to assassinate the king"
Ok. Wait a damn minute. I was an orphan and I had never had of hunters nor any assassination.
"You must have gotten it all wrong miss. I am not the daughter to the hunter you are talking about. I do not even have parents to begin with"
"Silence!Follow me and shut your mouth"
I stayed quiet and decided to not put up a fight because it would not help me in any way.
Just go with the flow
I followed the girl and soon ended up in the kitchen. Large would be an understatement on what it was. It had everything and even more of what any dream kitchen would require.
Because of my clumsiness I managed to trip causing someone carrying a bowl of hot soup to trip and the whole thing came crashing down. Luckily nobody got burned.
Another slap landed on my cheek and due to that commotion everyone stopped whatever it was they were doing and looked towards me
There's one thing I hated apart from being treated as if I didn't matter,and that was unwanted attention
Unwanted attention caused more beatings and more beatings caused me unbearable pain.
So much for not drawing attention. For a girl who looked my age why did she have the attitude of an old hag. I mean it was not even my fault. . Its not like I tripped on purpose.
"You insolent human how dare you try to kill one of my staff"
Drama queen.
People started muttering and some even began pointing fingers. The person who dropped the bowl was no longer there which was a relief.
"Enough. Listen everyone as you can see this is the new slave or servant. She is just like everyone of you. Below me and she will be working in the kitchen. So get back to work!"
And with that she left. She left me there. I was confused and scared. She left me with the wolves as in literally.
Horrid thoughts ran across my mind. They might probably try to eat me or gut me to death.
"We wont eat you"someone yelled causing the rest of the people to laugh.
"I said that out loud didn't I"I muttered.
"You did actually"
It was a deep voice that said that. On looking at the source I was speechless. It was a guy and he looked like a guy? Oh crucify me for not being able to describe him. If Asia were here she would probably term him as hot.
"Take a picture it lasts longer"he smirked.
"I'm sorry I just..."
"Save it. You are beautiful so I'll let it slide"He smiled.
He called me beautiful. Nobody ever called me beautiful before.
I needed that. I needed to hear that. I nee...
"I'm Aaron"He stretched out his hand and I flinched. A look of hurt spread through his face but immediately disappeared.
"I'm human?" I whispered.
Oh great going Natalia. Now you just sound weird.
He let out a light chuckle and brushed the stray strand of hair that I myself did not notice behind my ear.
"Hi human"he whispered.
"Okay that enough flirting boy. Go back to your station and chop the onions'"an elderly looking lady said as she wagged a cooking stick up in the air.
The lady gave a warm smile before waling towards me.
"Forgive my grandson dear he's quite the ladies man I tell ya oh and do not mind the old hag Mellissa she probably stubbed her toe or something."
"I...."
"Hush dear you do not have to say anything. Let me introduce myself. Im Mrs Elizabeth but you can call me Beth and you my dear were kidnapped just like the majority of us so do not bother wondering how you arrived here"
"Huh"
"The crown Prince brought you here"
"How do you know that"
"Well dear, I was the one who helped in pumping your little tummy"
"Ummmm"
"The dose that you were given dear was too high and your body couldn't handle it"she smiled
How could she be saying all this so calmly as if we were talking about the weather or something.
"I'm I leaving anytime soon"
"Honey the only way any of us will leave this place is in a body bag"
"So I'm stuck here forever"
"Exactly"
Another day,another chance to make things better
