Audrey's POV
I was hurting, and so was Samantha, my wolf.
She seemed to be hurting even more, I could feel how weak she had become as she just seemed too distant and quiet.
I felt so guilty, not because I had let Alpha Joshua, a total stranger touch me, but because I enjoyed it.
I mean, how could I?
It was supposed to be Drew and not the Ruthless Alpha.
“Get dressed! my trackers must be far away in the woods by now.
I will lead you through the back exit out of here.”
Alpha Joshua said with his usual serious face, snapping me out of my thoughts.
Even though this werewolf had just explored almost every part of my body, I still felt ashamed being naked before him but I felt too weak to get up and put on my clothes until he ordered me to.
I slowly got up from the ground where I sat, put on my clothes, and followed him as he led the way through a tunnel-like root that I hoped would lead us out of the dungeon and most likely out of this God-forsaken village.
As we walked, he talked non-stop about himself and his achievements.
He talked about all the smaller villages and werewolf packs that he had attacked in the past, taken their lands, and made the survivors his prisoners.
He talked about the Moondew pack with so much pride in himself. He talked about the shameless Alpha of the Moondew pack whom he said let his Luna die, abandoned his pack, and ran away.
I just listened to him silently and unmoved. I couldn't care less about what he was saying as all I cared about was getting out of there and getting to my family in one piece.
We walked for what felt like hours and I couldn't help but wonder when we'd get to the end of this tunnel-like part.
My stomach kept making funny noises, my head was pounding from exhaustion and hunger and my legs felt like heavy logs but I kept following behind the Ruthless Alpha.
Eventually, I sighted a dim light coming in from an opening in the distance, I could tell it was moonlight from the night sky coming in through an opening.
From my guess, it was around 3 am by that time.
That light I was seeing in the distance was hope for me.
Soon we got out of the tunnel and headed down a hilly part.
Just at the foot of the hill was a small entrance covered by a flower-like plant that grew all over it.
After making sure no one was in sight, he opened the door and let me out.
As soon as I was out I felt a great relief and peace.
All of these realizations came flooding into my head when I woke up on my bed in my room.
I hoped that I wasn't dreaming so I pinched myself on the face to make sure.
“You are awake” my Dad's voice came in from the entrance to my room.
“Thank God you are alright. How do you feel?” he asked.
I wore a half smile on my face without saying a word. I felt very happy that this was happening, that I wasn't dreaming, and that I got to see my family again.
“ I had just persuaded your Mum to go get some sleep, she was up all night by your bedside.
And forced Camie to school today. She didn't go yesterday and she wanted to stay back today as well.”
And that's when the realization hit me.
“How long have I been out?” I asked.
“You’ve been out for two nights now. I had the doctor come over to check up on you here.
I couldn't risk you being admitted to the hospital so that the doctors don't find out stuff about you and begin to treat you like some lab rat.
You must be really hungry, I'll go get you some food”.
I just nodded in response. As soon as my Dad stepped out of my room I just let my mind wander.
I thought of Drew and wondered how he took the message I had left him in the letter.
I wondered what he would do if he found out about how a total stranger had his way with me. How he explored every bit of my naked body.
But worse still, if he found out that I enjoyed every bit of it and wouldn't change a thing about the pleasure I had with him that night.
I tried to remember all that happened to me in the past few days.
I couldn't help the tears that were already streaming down my eyes.
My throat felt like there was a strong little ball in it and I kept fighting back tears.
I couldn't understand why I was crying.
Just then my Dad stepped in carrying a tray of food for me.
I quickly turned in the opposite direction and wiped off my tears, turned back, and gave him a half smile.
“You are crying,” he said.
“Just happy to be home” I whispered.
I couldn't wait to ask my Dad the numerous questions I had playing i
n my mind.
“Are you and Mum my biological parents, Dad?”
I asked all of a sudden.
