Alpha's Human Mate

CHAPTER FOUR RUNNING FROM HOME

DANIELLA'S POV

The rays of the sun flooded the room. I was awake but I refused to open my eyes. He was still beside me and I wanted him to get up first.

Eventually he did. Leaving the bed for the bathroom. I opened my eyes a little and peeped.

He came out with a towel around his waist. Tall, much taller than even Tonas. He was well built and his face chiseled out of stone, I was sure of it. He flashed his blue eyes at me.

“You are cowering away now. Last night, you seemed like a tigress to me.”

I covered my face. It was the water I took, something was in it because I never had that kind of energy in me.

And now, I was so sore, I wondered if I could walk. He came and sat next to me.

“I am sorry about last night.”

I looked at him immediately

“You said you didn't want this. Frankly, I don't know why I did it. You weren't supposed to be here last night. No one was.”

My eyes widened. 'wait, he is not the millionaire client’

I sat up immediately, my legs ached. I groaned.

He turned to me immediately.

“Is it that bad?”

I smiled nervously. Covering myself and all his bite marks.

“I… came here because,”

'Wait, no If I said I was meeting a client here I would look like a prostitute. f**k it, I didn't care anymore.’

“It doesn't matter. I was waiting for a man I don't know anyways. He promised to give my family money in exchange for me. I guess he was probably a scam.” I said dryly.

He stared bewildered at me.

“Why would you agree to something like that? Why would you let your family do that to you?”

He said sympathetically.

“A poor girl like me. If I lose my family I will have nothing left. I don't want to live on the streets. The world is a terrible place. So It's better to stay with the lesser evil.” I chuckled mockingly.

Slowly, I rose from the bed. He rose too. His obvious height and big body became more evident as he wrapped me In his arms from behind.

“Last night, you told me to call you by your name. It seemed quite important to you. So I will now. Daniella, where are you from.”

My eyes wet immediately. I couldn't suppress the tears, I had never heard my name called like that and so sweetly.

“It's a farm house but the farm is gone now anyways. And the… everywhere is so old but it's still nice,” I spoke lightly, surprisingly cuddling into his arms.

He sniffed my hair and my body trembled under his skin. He had an odd way of exciting me. His eyes went to two nice looking bite marks on my neck.

“Did it hurt?” He asked.

“No,” I lied and I wanted to. With him I could do everything I wanted and I loved it.

“You liar.” He kissed my neck.

I giggled wondering why I wasn't upset of spending my first night with a stranger.

“I have to go. Daniella but I will come back for you. Will you wait for me?”

It was like a fantasy but I saw a little hope in this dream-like offer.

“I will.”

He left me and went through his things, he gave me a billionaire dollar card and asked me to use it and quiet my family then buy myself new things.

While I was in the shower, he left.

…..

“He gave you want?!” Tonas sprang from his seat.

“Nine hundred and fifty Million dollars.” I said unenthusiastically.

I gave my father the card. The two brothers of mine salivated as they stared at the money.

I left them and went inside to rest. In my mind, things should get better now or at least before he comes for me.

........

It’s been two weeks now and there hasn’t been any signs of this stranger. Most times I would leave my house and stand by the corner of the road hoping that he would surface from nowhere and I would see him come but it didn’t work. I even visited the place in which we had first met, a couple times but it’s like he just vanished, he was gone. The only hope I had at redemption was gone.

I knew that it had been too good to be true, asking me to wait when he knew nothing about me. I knew that I was way in over my head but I still wanted to believe, I wanted it to be true.

Jay and Tonas had already placed almost all the money on gambling, hoping to get times two in return but it didn’t happen, by now my house was a mess and the money was already fast finishing. I had initially gained myself a few days of peace but now it was starting to look like they were back on my case.

They saw me as a money making tool and didn’t care a bit how it affected me mentally or otherwise, I was drained, sick of all the silly acts.

I woke up one morning and was about to leave for work when I overheard my father and brothers talking about how they had booked new sessions with other clients, they had even arranged for me to sleep with at least four to five men a day and had even started rejoicing over the amount of money they would be making.

This made me sick to my stomach, I was disgusted, disappointed that they would go this far and it brought tears to my eyes. I wanted to confront them but what good would that bring?

They would only beat me up and make it more worse, they might as well tie me up till these men were ready to use me and there was no way I was going to let that happen.

I ran back to my room and closed the door quickly, thinking of the next step to take. I had to run away, I had to leave before I became an instrument of misuse and die with a disease.

I looked around and there was nothing to pack, nothing worth carrying as they didn’t even think to spend a dime of the money I made on me, I had nothing. I took out one of my old bags and folded some clothes, then I took a little extra mini blanket Incase I got a cold and had to sleep in weird places.

I had contemplated going to ask for some money but that would bring suspicions to me as I had never asked for money for anything before. I was scared, all I had to do was make my way past them in the most normal way possible and I would be free forever.

I threw my bag through the window as they would know something was wrong if I went past them with it, and cleaned off the little tears I had in my eyes.

I was done crying for worthless people, I was done putting up with bullshit. I positioned myself in a very normal manner and walked out my room, heading downstairs where the demons resided.

“Be back home early today Daniella, you have a few errands to run for us” my father said not even looking me in the eye.

Where was the love my family once had?

“What errands papa?” I had asked, foolishly wanting to give one more chance depending on what he said, I was going to give a chance at forgiveness if he came clean to me.

“Since when did you start asking questions b***h, get the f**k out” my brothers shouted and my father did not say a word. I knew I was right to leave, I knew I had to.

“Ok, I would be back on time for my errands” I said as I walked out the door banging it with all the anger in me.

I ran quickly to the back of the house and took my bag, before making my way out the compound and into the streets, I ran as fast as I could Incase someone was pursuing me and I kept running, not looking back for a second.

I was finally free, free like a bird. Despite being without money or food, I was free from bondage.

“Daniella” I heard my brothers shout, they were fast approaching. Had they noticed that I was running away, would they try to drag me back home?

I had no money for the bus or taxi, I tried stopping a few cars but no one would stop for me, the only option I had was the bushes nearby and without thinking, I made my way inside it running like my life depended on it, because it actually did.
