Scarlett:

I walked until my feet stopped carrying me.

It wasn’t until I was sure that Mason was no longer following me, and had practically lost track of me, that I stopped and took a seat in front of one of the lakes.

My hands shook as I grabbed a piece of bread that I bought after a few hours of cleaning the dishes, toilets, and tables at one of the restaurants. It wasn’t the ideal job, but at least, I knew that I wasn’t depending on anyone to come and lash out on me whenever I spoke.

I took a bite off the bread, and despite it being dry, I was thankful for food that entered my system.

My head throbbed as I knew that I needed to rest, having been working since early morning, it was now a while past noon, and I knew that I had to hit the road after nightfall to ensure that I didn’t get hurt by any of the drunk, high, or drugged men that could come here later tonight.

I was yet to find proper shelter, nor could I afford to rent any if I wanted to; therefore, getting a proper full night of sleep was not an option, unless, of course, I managed to sneak in somewhere and get some rest until they opened the next morning. But that also proved to be useless after I almost got caught by security on my second night.

I thought of my daughter as I ate, my chest aching at the fact that she could be crying or looking for me; however, I also knew that Alexander would do his best to tend to all her needs until she’s forgotten about me. My eyes filled with fresh tears that I wiped as I put the bread back inside my bag, a little more for later when I got hungry tonight.

I put my bag under my head as I lay on it, covering my face with the coat that I was wearing. Having bought it with the first pay that I got after I left. The coat was three times my size and worked to keep me warm, concealed, and was more comfortable than sleeping on the hard brick floors or wet grass.

“I hope you’re well, my little pup” I whispered to my daughter, knowing that she wouldn’t hear me; however, at least speaking, addressing my words to her made me feel somewhat more content.

I closed my eyes as I felt a breeze of wind hit my covered face, the cold air making my body shudder. I gripped on the coat tightly, ensuring that I covered myself well before allowing sleep to overtake-me, my body losing itself to the exhaustion that I felt. And imagining myself on my comfortable bed, back at my parents house, everything went dark…

is she dead?” I heard a man ask, his voice close.

“I don’t know, but either way, her body seems fresh, we can make use of it…” another said as I heard the sound of a zipper being pulled down. I opened my eyes to frown when I saw the men looking down at me, their eyes somewhat distant. I got up, wrapping myself with my coat and clutching on my bag tightly, surprised that they hadn’t taken it.

“Ah, little lady, where do you think you’re going?” A man commented, gripping me by my arm. My body tensed, and despite trying to pry my arm from his grip, I couldn’t, my body giving up on me before I could do_anything about it. A cry of pain escaped my lips when I felt my arm crack under his tight grip.

“Let me GO!” I snapped, trying to push him away to literally no avail. The man wouldn’t budge no matter how hard I tried. His friends who were watching, smirked, readying themselves for what they believed would be the prize of their night. How I had managed to fall asleep until now, I had no idea; however, I knew that I was in huge trouble.

“We will, after we are done with you” he said, pushing me to the ground. I went to crawl away, wanting to get up and run only to be surprised when I heard a gunshot. The shot hit my side, forcing my body to drop to the ground before I could make another move “I said, you can leave when we are done with you.

“Please…” I begged, gripping on my side to see my blood oozing from the wound. My heart ached, and my hands shook; however, the man didn’t care as he slid my pants down tried to move again; however, two men gripped my hand, and it wasn’t until one of them lowered his pants in front of my face, that tears fell from my eyes.

The man went to push his manhood inside my mouth, however, the man’s body suddenly fell to the ground before he could make another move. The man with the gun froze, his eyes catching sight of Alexander who stood in front of him. His eyes showed visible anger despite the night’s darkness. His growl filled the air, and the man who was standing behind me lifted me to stand, wrapping his arm around me as he pointed the gun at my head.

Alexander’s eyes traveled down to my now bloodied body. My legs were starting to get covered with my blood as it poured from the wound on my side, and not wearing my pants didn’t make things any better.

She is mine to toy with…”

“One more word about her and I will be sure to rip your neck off that fucking body of yours, and believe me, I won’t be lenient” Alexander said, stopping him, baring his canines. My body shook, and my side, which was pressed against the man’s waist, ached; however, I couldn’t move if I tried. The man’s death grip on my neck stopped me, and being as weak as I was, I was thankful for being able to stand.

“You can have her when I am done with her” the man said, looking down at his two dead mates. One of them, I didn’t even know what happened to him; however, judging by his misshapen body and head, I could tell that his neck was broken. Alexander looked at me, shaking his head, wanting me to stay calm as he heard my heart race.

My wolf, who was broken, didn’t bother responding to him as she allowed my body to weaken instead of helping me stand. I knew that she wanted nothing more than to be dead, and I couldn’t blame her, we’ve suffered enough, and a peaceful death was in order.

The resistance in my body seemed nonexistent, and standing still, I felt my eyes rolling to the back of my head as my vision blurred, both due to the loss of blood and lack of food. Plus, I was exhausted enough as it was, had it not been for the men waking me, I knew that I might have slept till morning.

Now, what happened next was something that I could barely process, both because my body was as weak as hell, and because I was already losing consciousness. The man’s arms unwrapped from around me as his body fell limp, and Just as I was about to hit the ground, arms wrapped around me; however, I was aware that they weren’t Alexander’s.

The man lifted me in his arms with ease, and setting me on the ground, he pulled my pants up as he laid me on his chest “Volkov”

“My apologies for the delay, I had a few things to take care of” the man said, as Alexander sat on his knees in front of me, cupping my cheeks to make me look at him, his eyes softening “she needs to get out of here. Her body is already getting cold, and she is going to need nutrition and blood”

Alexander’s eyes studied my expression; however, I flinched when he tried to wrap his arms around me, and it wasn’t due to the wound that was hurting me. His eyes softened, and he shook his head at me, not wanting me to he stubborn; however, the last thing I was going to do was listen to one word he was saying. The man has been given too many chances and his actions were what lead us to this.

“Scarlett, we need to get you out of here” he said, mapping his arms around me before I could object, not that I would be able to anyway. The man lifted me in his arms with ease, and laying my head on his chest, he looked at the man who smirked but nodded.

“I’ll get things cleared up here, you take your woman back to the pack It seems like she is a handful” Volkov said, smirking at me “I’ll see you when we’re done with this”

Alexander nodded, not bothering to respond to the man as he turned to walk to the car which parked a few meters away.

I don’t want to go anywhere with you” I said weakly, glaring at the man who shook his head at me.

“Sadly, you’re stuck with me, neonata, as last I checked, the two of us are mates” he said, taking me by surprise. He kissed my temple before stopping in front of the car for a second. Mason opened the door for him, letting him help me inside before he took a step back “I promise to make all that we’ve lived through up to you, neonata; however, never think of leaving that way again, okay?”
