FREDA
Slowly, I blinked my eyes, yawning hungrily. I was disappointed and sad because I had expected all these to be a dream. Then I realized that my head was placed on someone's lap, I jerked up and turned around… It was Xander. I've been sleeping with my head on his lap.
My stomach grumbled noisily, and I yawned again.
“You're awake! You must be hungry?” He smiled at me, dropping the newspaper he was reading on the other side. I glared at him, ignoring his questions.
“Speak up, Freda” He intimidatingly snapped.
I tinted my eyebrows at him in shock. “How did you know my name?” I frowned at him. My head aches, my body aches too. I badly want to take off the dress I was putting on. It was still the same dress I've been wearing since to my party. “How long have we been in this car?”
“We've been driving since yesterday, and it's dawn already” He simply replied.
“What? Where on Earth are you taking me to? You kidnapped me, and yet you're not bothered. Gosh! I hope you rot in jail. Today was supposed to be the best day of my life, but you shattered it” I burst into tears. It was actually the first time I was crying since they took me away. His eyes became mild at the sight of my tears, but he didn't say a word.
“Tell me, which of your celebration did I ruin? Was it your birthday party or your engagement party?” He asked in a suspicious tone. I wiped off my tears, and turned to him with arched eyebrows. How the hell did he know all of these? Has he been stalking me?
“Both of them. My party was ruined, courtesy to you” I snapped.
He raised a brow at me, “You really want to get married at this age to him?”
I chuckled sarcastically. “Why not? I love Michael, and he loves me too. Our families want us to be together as well”.
I wished I could take back my words because Xander was staring at me with anger. I swallowed hard, and turned my gaze away. Furthermore, I should have held myself back not to outburst like I did. He drew closer to me, and grabbed my neck. It wasn't hurting me though, but I was pretty scared. “Say his name again, and watch me go mad”
Furthermore, I bit my lower lip before nodding my head in agreement. So, this wasn't a nightmare after all. I was actually kidnapped by a hot looking demon.
“You're mine” He said with possessiveness in his eyes. I couldn't hold back the laughter anymore.
“What makes you think so? Why did you kidnap me if not for ransom? Do I look like your dead girlfriend? I'm so certain that I haven't seen you in my entire life”.
“Have you been told that you talk a lot?” He snapped.
"Anyone ever told you that you leave people in suspense?” I rolled my eyes at him. Damn! I shouldn't do that again if I would rather not get into trouble.
He turned away from me, and picked up a newspaper. I yawned hungrily, and wished I could disappear from the car.
Xander snapped his finger, and a tray of food was passed by a lady from the other side of the limousine car. My mouth watered as the aroma filled the car.
I turned my gaze away, protesting against my grumbling tummy. I just need to pretend like I wasn't interested in the food.
“You're such a bad actress. Eat up, we'll be home in a few minutes” Xander sneered, and I swallowed hard.
“What if you…” I was still speaking, but he scoffed.
“You think I'll poison you? If I wanted to kill you, I would have done that a long time ago” He rolled his eyes.
Too hungry to protest, I begin to dig into the food. I've been starving since yesterday, so I was very famished.
“Update about our journey. Alpha, we'll be in the pack in the next thirty minutes” One of his men announced.
“Alpha? What the hell does that even mean? The pack? Is that where they are taking me to? I certainly haven't heard of any place called the pack. Eating up the last piece of fish in the plate, I pushed it aside.
“What does pack mean? Is that where you come from?” I tapped Xander, who was still busy reading the newspaper.
“Yes”
“What? It's the name of a place, huh? That's strange! I've never heard of that” I scratched my head.
With a snort, he said; “Aren't humans so gullible?”
“Humans? What are you, then? An alien?” I chuckled. Well, he could be. Probably, I've been kidnapped by an alien because his cuteness is just too much. But the question is, why would an alien want me?
Xander chuckled, and dropped the newspaper on the car seat. He leaned closer to me, and I could feel his breath on my face. Staring deep into his eyes, I was flustered. He was so close that if I'd move, our lips will definitely meet.
“W… What are you doing?” I managed to speak, I was holding my breath tight.
I stared at his lips, and I hate to admit that it looked so soft and inviting. Likewise, I don't know if I'm crazy, but I wished I could kiss it.
“What do you want me to do, mine?” He licked his lips seductively, and I swallowed hard. He's dripping hot.
“Xander” I called softly, and he winked at me. Oh, God!! I felt butterflies in my belly.
All he needed was my permission to kiss me, and the way I called his name seemed like an invitation. Before I could say another word, his lips came crashing to mine.
“My own” He said directly in my mouth because we were already snogging each other.
Am I really kidnapped? This doesn't seem like I am…
