CHAPTER 3

{TWO YEARS LATER}

[WARMTH]

Ariel’s POV:

It’s been two years since I got marked by Ryan. He had taken over from his father after his tragic death and is Alpha of the pack. I’ve was made a live- in staff. It was the easiet way for him to do what he wanted with me.

He hides me in a room that should be a closet. I jerked up from sleep as I felt hands roughly groping my body. He washome and reeked of alcohol. A useless excuse of an Alpha, but I can’t say anything to him. I layed stiffly in preparation for his daily assault.

“Say you are mine”, he commanded, eyes glowing with lust and disgust. “I hate that you’re my mate Ariel”,” So many hot chicks, yet you ?”, “You’re good for nothing”. “say it, Say you’re mine”

I refused to speak, I may be weak but I’m not his, I winced in pain as a slap came across my face. I spat out blood. He pushed me to the floor and went ahead to kick me in the tummy.

He lifted my dress up, settling himself in between my legs. I closed my eyes, it helped with the pain, it helps not to look at him..

Today I had no help cleaning. It’s his punishment for refusing to say a word to him. He is throwing a party tonight. Another of his reckless parties.

“Ensure to wear this at the party tonight” he dropped a red sequin dress on the floor. “Put on some makeup too”, “I have no idea how to put on makeup “ he eyed me and walked away.

The party had started, I just took a cold shower to clean from from being beaten and r***d few minutes ago. I winced in pain as the water hit my back. The old wounds are yet to heal.

I put the dress on and smear some lipstick on before heading out. Sure I will be a s*x slave to his dignitaries tonight, just like always. He likes to watch as they do what they want with me.

I checked the worn out watch on my wrist, 10pm, I tried to make myself at ease. “Hello sister”. My heart began racing immediately, Riley was here. She looked stunning in her black dress and red bottom pumps. While I looked beat up, the dress hanging loosely on my body, I’ve become a lot worse than when I was with Mr Thomas.

“You look stunning sister”, she doesn’t hide the sacarsm and laughs as she walks away. Tears filled my eyes, blurring out my vision. I felt a tug on my wrist. Konan, Ryan’s P.A held me firmly as he led me to the Red Room. I tried to break free but he held on tightly..

No, not tonight, not him please, not Alpha Damian. He’s the worst. I cried out immediately, begging Ryan who is sitting on his usual seat in the red room. Alpha Damian is more of a beast than Ryan. I know for sure that I will be unconscious in a matter of hours.

My hands were cuffed and hooked to the bars hanging from the ceiling. Konan ripped the dress off my body in one swift motion. At this moment I wished my wolf was more active. I found out that Mr Thomas had been making me swallow wolfsbane since the death of my mother. Now my wolf is almost nonexistent .

I screamed in pain as the whip landed on my bare buttocks. Two, three, ten, I lost count. Right when I was loosing consciousness, Alpha Damian cupped my face from behind, ramming himself inside me. I screamed as every stroke ushered a new pain in me. Soon, I blacked out.

I woke up to the sound of moans. I looked up to the worst sight I could imagine. Ryan was in bed with Riley. They noticed I was awake. “Kneel and watch little wolf”..

Ryan wanted me to watch him sleep with my step sister. “I said kneel!!”

I had no choice, I knelt, watching as Riley took my mate. “She is my chosen Luna” My heart ripped into pieces as I heard him say those words. That’s it, I’ve had enough, enough of Ryan, Riley, this life ,this world.

I got up and took to my heels, running out of the house and into the woods. I kept running, and I could hear Ryan and his men hot behind me. My feet were numb, but I kept going. I was afraid to be caught, as it would mean death, so I kept going until I ended up deep in the woods.

I found a spot where I thought I was far enough away, and I could no longer hear them behind me.

There was a tunnel, and I crawled in; it was a safe place for the night.

(THIRD PERSON'S POV):

Ariel had slept off in a magical tunnel that teleports wolfs to a different world, the human world. She woke up to find herself on the streets of New York. Cars honking, people walking by swiftly, leaving her confused and dazed.

She got up, running like she was still being chased, bumping into almost everyone and getting shoved by the busy people of New York. Finally she ran into an empty curb. Hiding behind a large garbage bin. She stayed still until night fell.

“My goodness girl, how did you get here ?” Ariel sat there shivering, unable to speak from the shock. “Get up now child, let’s get you something warm to wear” “where are you from ?” “You don’t speak much do you ?”, “come along now, let’s get you all cleaned up “

ARIELS POV:

I woke up to find myself in a very strange place. I thought I was dreaming. The busyness of the street brought me to reality real quick. I felt I was still being chased so I ran, “run, keep running” this is what I said to myself, I bumped into so many people, but I couldn’t smell their wolf. Was it because of the wolfsbane or there’s actually no wolf here?”

“My name is Ms May, I own the restaurant just down the street” “what’s your name and what were you doing there ?” “I'm ... .Ariel Thomas…I’m lost " "clearly you are child, let me take a good look at you” she cupped my face in her hands which made me flinch.

The last time I was held like that, I was beaten to pulp and r***d. “I won’t hurt you”, she said with the softest smile across her face and I suddenly felt an unfamiliar yet lovely feeling enveloping me.. It was warmth..
