Mated To My Captor’s Enemy

Chapter 4

Elara

The doctor's words replayed in my head, but it could be some sort of joke, definitely some sort of joke. The Alpha always used protection, he always controlled himself whenever he was with me, why would I be pregnant?

“Doctor,” I reached for her hands, holding them tightly with my gaze fixated on her. “Am I really pregnant?”

She nodded, her lips slowly curling into a smile. She seemed to like smiling a lot, whenever her patient survived death by a small chance, or whenever a new life was about to be born. I wasn't excited by either of the news, the news of my survival and the new life breathing inside of me.

Alpha Ace couldn't find out about my pregnancy.

He could kill the child, worse, end me with it. He'd never want to have a child with a slave. With my fingers still around the doctor's wrist, I took a deep breath.

“Please, don't tell Alpha Ace, he doesn't have to know about my pregnancy.” He was the first man I'd ever been with, the first man who claimed me in the most ruthless ways. He was gruesome, heartless, but I didn't want an innocent child to die for my own sins. I held her hands tightly, staring at her like only she could make a difference, “He doesn't have to find out about this.” I added.

“You can't hide it for long.” She hardened her gaze, staring at my body, “I still have to tell him.”

I shook my head, sitting upright, “He’s going to kill my child, and if I lose my unborn child, you're behind it. You don't know your Alpha, he's a monster. You have to do this for me, please, I'm begging you.” I didn't realize I was already crying. Tears seemed to come more easily for me within the last few days, Alpha Ace made sure of that, and with my baby, he'll make my life even more miserable.

The doctor pressed her lips together and sucked in a deep breath, “Alright, I won't tell him.” She sighed, taking a few steps backwards, “You have to hide it well, and take care of yourself.”

I nodded shakily, eyes brimming with tears, “Thank you.”

As I watched the doctor leave, I wondered if the child inside of me was a blessing or a curse. The moon goddess knew how miserable I was, knew how miserable each day was, but she still blessed me with a child. No, she cursed me with one. How was I going to survive the Alpha's torture with a life in me? He was always rough, loved doing crazy things, the baby wouldn't survive such torture.

I wouldn't survive such torture with my unborn child.

I had to escape for the sake of the child.

I tried to kill myself once, but I ended up getting two lives. Escaping seemed to be the only choice, far away from the pack house where no one would ever find me. Earlier, I realized the doctor didn't lock the door, neither did the Alpha. I wasn't chained or tied up to the bed, I could leave the pack house if I was careful enough.

Taking a few clothes would take a lot of time, I had to survive first. The Alpha was smart enough to put me in a separate room, a room I'd never been in throughout my stay in the Ashlore pack. It was unfamiliar, but I knew my way out of the pack. Finding a long dress on the side of the bed, I grabbed it and wore it quickly, mustering up courage to leave the room.

I kept my eyes widely open, fixed on the stairs, and when I saw that the coast was clear, I ran towards it as fast as I could. There was a secret passage out of the pack house in the basement. He had claimed me there on a fateful night. I never thought I'd be able to summon the courage to go back there but desperate times call for desperate measures. As soon as I walked down the stairs, I took a turn towards the basement, checking back if I was being followed by anyone.

With each step I took, I felt my heart in my throat, fear sipping through my bones. If Alpha Ace caught me this time, I'd definitely lose my life, he'd spare me no mercy and kill me without a second thought. I stepped into the dusty basement and found the passage quickly.

After walking for about three minutes, I finally found the exit, the exit of the f*****g pack house. I placed my palm over my face, close to tears and smiled. Finally, I was out of the pack house. All I had to do was find someone, anyone to get me out of here, but I had to get to the road, and the only path was going through the woods.

I pressed my lips together and ran barefoot, careful not to trip. It was daytime, everywhere was bright and colorful, but the woods definitely had a life of their own. It was slightly darker, with trees hovering above me like tall canopies. As I ran further, I heard heavy footsteps, followed by the shuffling of leaves.

I gasped, finding the pack soldiers right behind me.

Hell, I hadn't even been out for half an hour.

“Stop right there, Elara.” Rather than stopping, I kept running, hoping they'd be merciful enough to allow me to leave. They had witnessed the Alpha torture me several times, they'd heard my cries and pleas, but they cared less about a young woman's misery. Just like Alpha Ace, their hearts were frozen as well.

“You heard us, Elara. Stop running and we'll think of a way to save you from the Alpha's wrath.” I ignored them, kept running till my legs betrayed me by stumbling upon the bark of a tree. I landed on my butt and loud chuckles filled my ears as they closed in on me.

I dragged my butt on the ground, whimpering as they moved closer, “Please, let me go.” I pleaded in misery, my head filled with buzzing sounds.

“Come with us. The Alpha will decide if today will be your last.” One of them said, pulling me mercilessly.
