His Little Wolf

Locked

NOVALIE'S POV

--

Even if the castle looked old from the out side in the dark , the inside was completely modernized .

The inside was completely white , black and gray and I couldn't be more amazed . I tried to look around as much as I could , but the way Luca was dragging me across the large floor , I couldn't focus my sight on anything .

' Where do you think he's taking us ?' Sofie asks excitedly and the fact that I began to run away from him , I doubt it's going to be a fancy room without locks .

' Well you shouldn't have run away from him .' Sofie murmurs , judgment clear in her voice .

Well he shouldn't have been such a creep in the first place , does he not know the term stranger danger ?

' Apparently not .' Sofie scoffs and it has me out of my mind when she's like this .

Does she not see the obvious danger ? Does she not see that he could be a killer ?

' All wolves are killers .' Sofie states as if it were the most normal thing to say , but the hard truth is , if you tell that to a human , which I grew up to be , it would freak them out , like I am at the moment because what if I just upset him and he kills me ?

' He can't kill you , you're his mate . But he can kill Brent .' Sofie threatens and my whole body stiffens and I forget to walk . I fall forward as I am dragged up the stairs , my one hand flying down to the step and I stop myself from falling face first .

" Are you okay ?" Luca bends down , holding his other free hand out to me . I shrug him off , straightening myself .

" I'm good ." I mumble and his eyes trail down the length of my body and I know I stood in front of him completely n***d mere minutes ago in the woods , but standing like this , in his t - shirt that smells so good , well it feels like I'm more exposed .

' Because you feel the pull , the longer you're around , the stronger the bond gets .' Sofie murmurs , explaining to me and honestly it makes sense , but it also doesn't .

Some of the things make sense , but if I still had no clue about what was happening , then it would have sounded bazar .

" Did you get hurt ?" He asks , his firm hold on me relaxing a bit .

I wonder if I can slip my arm out of his grasp and just run , maybe I can shift and out run him .. but I don't even know where to start ..

' I will never let you shift , why do you want to run away from him ? He looks like a god !' Sofie points out and I have been so stressed out that I didn't even notice what gorgeous body he has . He has very broad shoulders , his six pack is amazing and don't get me started on his back muscles .

He's built like Mount Everest and I would climb him .

Wait .

Why did I just think like that ?

' Because he's hotter than the sun and who wouldn't want to climb that ?' a seductive growl escapes her and it makes my thigh clench .

She has a point , but I don't like him .

I like Brent .

' Brent .' Sofie sarcastically says his name like she’s in love with him and I honestly wish that she was a physical person so that I could hit her .

" No , I'm fine ." I murmur , pulling my arm back but he c***s his head at me , sighing as his grip tightens on me . " If only you didn't try to run . I wouldn't have to do this ." he starts to slowly make his way up the stairs , pulling me after him .

It feels like I am climbing thousands of stairs , each turn has a window up the spiral staircase and every time I glance out into the dark , I see more land the higher we go .

“Where are we going ?” I mutter in a mere whisper .

“To the room you’ll be staying in .” He shrugs it off and relief falls upon me , at least I am not going to some sort of dungeon .

‘Maybe he’s taking us to his room .’ Sofie beams and I roll my eyes . Of course she would think that , but no stranger would invite someone they don’t know to share their bed .

‘Wolves do , when we meet our mates , we instantly trust and connect .’ Sofie sounds like a love sick puppy .

I guess wolves are the same as drunk people who are lonely as hell , they both jump into bed with strangers .

‘Don’t compare drunk humans to the magical love of humans .’ Sofie grits out and as it seems like the stairs come to an end , there’s a long hall filled with rooms and the room at the end has a wooden door wide open .

I keep ok thinking that we’re going to stop any moment , that he’s going to open the door and tell me that’s where I’ll be staying and let’s be honest , we’re in the middle of the woods , I can’t really run anywhere in the dark .

‘I wouldn’t let you anyways .’ Sofie interrupts my thoughts , leaving me irked .

“Shut up .” I accidentally say out loud and Luca’s head snaps to the side as he looks at me with wide eyes .

“What ?” He asks confused .

“Sorry .” I mutter , glancing down at the floor with wide eyes .

I shouldn’t have said that out loud , why did I do that ?

Embarrassment fills me , I could feel my cheeks heating up .

“Your wolf ?” He asks , raising a brow at me . The edge of his lip twitching up as I glance at him .

I hum in response , wondering if he has one too .

‘ He obviously does .’ Sofie scoffs , making me feel even more stupid .

“Mine is a handful too .” He murmurs , both edges of his lip turning upwards into a smile and I feel kind of relieved .

At least I’m not the only one with a problem in my head .

‘Hey !’ Sofie snarls and I giggle , shaking my head and Luca halts in front of the door , turning to look at me .

“You are beautiful , if I haven’t mention that before .” His smile is so warm and calm , I momentarily forget that he kidn*pped me .

“Thanks .” I blush , smiling up at him before my eyes dart to the room .

It looked kind of dark .

I guess he notices my staring at the room , “We can decorate it the way you want tomorrow .” He shrugs and realization hits me hard .

“How long do you want me to stay here ?” I ask , my voice coming out in a mere whisper and I sarcastically high five myself for being so shy .

“I don’t want you to leave , but when you’re ready , you can move into my room .” He grins and I have to give him points for not dragging me to his room in the first place .

“But .. I have family and a ..” his eyebrows raise and luckily I stop myself from saying that I have a boyfriend , because if what Sofie said is true , he’d kill Brent .

“A ?” He asks confused , “A cat .” A deep scowl forms on his face , “And the cat likes you ?” He asks confused , but he seems more surprised .

“Yeah , why wouldn’t it ?” I shrug .

“Because we’re naturally dogs .” His eyes flick to the side before locking on me again .

“I don’t want to stay .” I feel brave about my words , until he shoves me inside and as I whip around to look at him , all I see is an apologetic stare before he shuts the door and I could hear it lock from the outside .

I rush forward , trying to grab the handle but as my hand just touch the door , I look down just to find out that there is none .

No door handle , no escape , nothing .

I turn , glancing around the room and the only light was a bedside table lamp and the moon shining through the window .

“Will it help if I yell ?” I ask Sofie , feeling like she’s the only comfort in my life .

“Nope .” The pops the p out and I sigh , sitting down onto the soft bed .
