At The Beta's Command

Chapter 4

After my Venti Espresso Frap, large iced cold coffee caramel and another medium sized iced Belgian coffee, Moniq and I are ready to hit the road again, and walk home.

“I don’t know where you are storing that amount of caffeine in your body.” Moniq stated playing with my three empty cups of caffeine. “Too much coffee for me gives me a zombie night, like I’m up til morning and it’s so not funny! I had the worst headache the whole day!” she shrieked like someone’s burning her. How she managed to always squeal and shriek every time she gets frustrated is still amusing to me and I love her just like that though there are times that I got annoyed and irritated.

“Oh, you know how I’m immune with caffeine, as long as I got tired I’m out of life embracing my mickey mouse pillow, caffeinated or not!” I replied.

“Whatever, I’ll just go the restroom before the long walk home.” She said standing already not waiting for any of my response. I was just about to follow her to the restroom because my bladder decided to seek attention and wanted out when someone caught most of my interest than my fuming bladder. I think that’s what you get when you had a lot of caffeine stored in you. Your bladder always has to disturb you.

Back to the one who got my interest, there’s a guy just across the street talking with other two guys who look too serious listening to him. The guy in blue washed jeans and grey fitted shirt has a black messy hair, tall maybe about six foot four in height, muscular stomach, chest and arms, I can say he has eight packs abs and a very beautiful ocean blue eyes. I swear, even the word hot is an understatement! As if on cue he looked my way and he stared at me. He freaking stared at me! I feel like I’m dying just staring back at him and my bladder was getting excited I can’t really hold it anymore but I have to. I’m gonna pee just by looking at him and omigod! I’m so sorry Blakey I feel like I’m cheating already!

Gosh, I really need to check my pulse and heartbeat. What am I saying ”C’mon Amber, put yourself together!” And now I’m talking to myself! See? I was rumbling in my head.

I was about to look away when his eyes suddenly changed from ocean blue to black, and I am not hallucinating I swear I saw it changed! Then just like that I felt strong rough hands on my throat choking me and the next thing I knew I was outside the café with the shuttered glasses surrounding me and the man who is trying to choke me to death with his strong gripped hands around me.

“Arr, carrnnnt, breeeaaatthheee….” I said breathlessly to the man who is holding me. Oh god I’m sorry for being a bad girl, I swear spare my life this time and I’ll be good! I’ll do my homework every day and pass all the entrance exams at all the colleges in this country just don’t take my life today! Now, I’m praying silently. And I’ll never drink again, or go home drunk or even go home late promise!

“Am I scaring the Ms. Pretty sweet little girl?” my hostage taker asked me loosening his hold a bit.

“No, I’m fine not scared at all I’m perfect just like how the weather is perfect!” was my sarcastic retort rolling my eyes at the goon. Wow, way to throw away my life chance by my smart mouth, er?

“Oh, sweetie, you just signed your death!” was his response tsking mischievously on me.

“Put the girl down Tyler! Or I’ll rip your throat out in seconds!” who’s that? I didn’t know that I shut my eyes out of fear so I opened them and saw the black haired hot (ehem) guy commanding and glaring at Tyler, my hostage taker. Wow, if looks could kill this Tyler guy would be freezing dead on the floor already. Did I say this guy has ocean blue eyes? I think I’ve mistaken, it was pure deep black at the moment but still beautiful and captivating if that’s the right term.

“Rip my throat? Here at the human town?” Tyler guy challenged.

“No, we could go to the outer space and meet the aliens at the alien town!” now, have I ever told you that when I’m freaking out I speak without my brains working properly? Yes, that’s me. So intelligent! But what, you can’t blame me. Who calls a simple town like ours human town unless they’re not humans…omg! Maybe I’m right they’re aliens!

“Shut up little girl!” Tyler retort back angrily tightening again his grip on my throat. I think I pushed someone’s button! Oh hell, I’m gonna die. I love you Dad, I love you Moniq and I will always cherish you Blakey until the next life.

The hot guy sighed and shook his head like he can’t believe what’s happening and said “hey, little girl if you could just shut your mouth for at least a minute or two you can lessen the trouble you are in right now. And as for you Tyler, don’t challenge me you know I can do all things as I please” what’s with them calling me little girl? I’m five three in height and yeah, I’m short compare to them but I’m still not little!

“I’m not that short!” I yelled at them gaining all the others attention. I didn’t notice that there are some more guys around us. Tyler has five more with them and hot guy has only two back-ups. And there goes my chance of living. Now, that’s final, I’m dying today without saying goodbye to my loveones! Speaking of which…”Oh my god! Where is Moniq???!!!” I shouted at the top my voice surprising my hostage taker resulting to him dropping me on the floor, hard. Ouch!

You know when you are in the situation where everything around you runs in a blur and all you can hear is grunting, cussing, snapping of bones and growling, yes growling! You should have run for your life already right? But not me, I was trying to figure out what was really happening when suddenly a man which I think one of Tyler’s back up landed in front of me with a wounded throat and bloody nose. I was about to shout when someone put a hand on my mouth and dragged me, yes literally dragged me rudely pushing me hard inside a car’s passenger seat and putting a seatbelt around me. Sweet, thanks. Note sarcasm. Anyway, I saw from the side mirror that the fight was still on and the hot guy was punching Tyler’s lifeless body mercilessly. My sleeping alertness suddenly awakened.

“Hey! Where are you taking me!?” I asked the hunk guy who is now driving the car at the direction of the forest. He was built with muscles, about six foot two in height with ash blonde hair and green eyes. He is hot but the hottie back there was undeniably hotter than this one. My life was on stake and I was thinking of a hottie, now where’s my brain again?

“Just shut up okay, I’m just doing this for your safety.” Says the guy who is now kidnapping poor me.

“First I was hostaged, now I was kidnapped…can this day get any better?” I asked the air, not really talking to the guy who kidnapped me. He chuckled and smirked at me. God, maybe he’s a psycho and now he’s planning what to do with me on his mind.  Oh no, I don’t wanna end like this. I am just eighteen and still virgin, fate can’t be this cruel to me. Yes, I have sinned, I lied , I don’t do as I told in school and don’t follow Dad’s rules but it’s still not enough to punish me like this. I still have plans in life, dreams and bucket list to accomplish!

“We’re here” said my kidnapper like it was the most normal thing in the world. Yes, because going to a place with a kidnapper is normal daily basis.

“Where are we and what are we doing here?” I asked casually, better ask him and act like we’re old friends than to push another button and be killed right?  

I looked around me and gasped. We are at the middle of nowhere in the forest but what struck me most is the mansion in front of me. It is a three story mansion made with bricks and wooden panels. More like a cottage style but a mansion in size. I was mesmerized by the beauty of its double wooden Victorian front door matching the pale blue tinted glass windows. Who knows the combination will be this amazing? A mix of old and modern styled in one. By the looks of it, it could have about fifteen to twenty rooms and a large space inside. We were parked beside a huge fountain and soon enough a red Audi car pulled over on our right. The driver of the red car rolled his window down and I was shock to see the hot guy looking directly at me.

“Max, bring the girl inside.” He said coldly and Max, my kidnapper did as he was told, dragging me yet again inside the mansion.

“You are hurting me!” I complained once I stumbled a little when he dragged me harder inside the house. Forget about being casual. He just sighed and blew air from his mouth shaking his head in irritation.

“What to do with the little human girl?” he asked to no one in particular after he pushed me roughly at the huge sofa facing him.

“Asshole.” I mumbled but I think he heard me because he glared at me even more if that was possible. Then, seconds later the living room was filled with about ten or twelve more men who have the same built as him. Muscular, huge and god damn freaking hot!

“What’s your name?” asked the one with a brown hair and grey eyes. He looks bigger than the others but the hot guy earlier must be bigger than him.

“Why should I tell you?” I replied, glaring at him to cover my now racing heartbeat. Act brave.

“She’s the girl from the town” said a deep masculine voice coming from the front door. As he made his appearance my heart beat stops at his gaze. He’s staring at me just like earlier at the café.

“Oh, the one who fueled Tyler’s anger because of her sweet talking I mean sarcasm?” asked the guy with brown hair.

“Yes Alpha Jaden. The reason why we need to kill rogues at the human town.” Says Max. So brown haired guy name is Jaden and he called him Alpha. “So again, what to do with the girl?” Max asked.

“I don’t know give her to the wolves?” said hot guy, now I hate him! Jerk!

“You jerk! How could you say that to a girl? For all I know you were a pack of werewolves here looking for some lone girl to rape and devour!” I shouted at his direction, everyone in the room freezes and his eyes became huge like I said something surprising but he quickly masked it with an evil smirk.

“And what if we were? Are you ready to accept your fate as our dinner for tonight?” he asked, everyone looked at him shocked but then Jaden guy laughed out loud and everyone followed. Okay, they’re creepy, good looking male species!

“Oh then what? You are Alpha? Jaden is Beta one of you is third in command and you have some mate called Luna?” I said smugly arching my eyebrows at him. Like seriously who would believe those werewolf stories?

“What?” He asked sternly. Shooting daggers at me, again if only looks could kill I will be dead right now. Everyone in the room stopped laughing and I swear they stopped breathing. Then suddenly, all their eyes changed into fiery pitch black and some of them are growling at me. Oh my god...I think I’m in bigger trouble than I thought!
