The Alpha's Contractual Human Mate

Try

“Get me out of here! Dion! Please, I can't stay here for long.” I begged, knocking my palm and knuckles on the door. I weakly roll on the ground of the cold floor as I sit on it. I worked up in this place and was locked for hours. The room I am staying is Dion's room and I can't help remember those days I was with him.

I was on my verge of losing hope when someone knocked on the door so I eagerly get up and waited for it to open. I heard three knocks in total before the door handle moved and was followed by the c***k of it.

“Ariella”, I heard a soft voice and a basket of foods being entered in the room. “Danica”, I mumbled my best friend's name and she hushed me. “Shhhh, I won't be taking long. I only escaped your guards and they will surely know they were sneaked out by someone.” She added whispering and toning down her voice. I nod my head even she can't saw me.

“I understand”, I mumbled weakly. “Where's Dion? How's outside, I mean how's the pack?”

“The pack is quite in chaos now. Alpha Jaxon is currently sick, making the pack members worry about who will lead us if Dion won't take the position.” She sneakily told and gave me a piece of paper. “I need to go, read that after I was gone and please, hide it.” She said rushing her words and I felt the door closed once again followed by her soft footsteps. After few minutes, marching of heavy footsteps were heard on the hallways passing my door. I put my ear on the oak door to get or catch any conversations.

“Mr. Dion”, a guy greeted that made me automatically walked backward from the door. I lifted my weight and run on the bed, hiding myself on the blanket. I crumpled the paper given by Danica and looked for a place to hide it. I slipped the piece of paper under my pillows and arranged it carefully to avoid getting suspicion from him. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep when the door opened and someone entered. I listened carefully and I can smell his natural body smell. I know it's him yet I still remained on my bed. I felt him walking straight on the closet and changed his clothes. I opened on my eye to peek on him and I saw his bare back facing me.

“Stop staring, I will melt in your eyes.” He warned and I automatically closed my eyes shut. “I can sense you are awake, Ariella. Don't fool me.” He continued and I can't hide now. I shyly opened my eyes looking at him. He chose a black t-shirt in his wardrobe and put it on. He faced me after with a raise in his brows. “What?!” I angrily asked, questioning the way he looks at me.

“We're going to talk after I visit my dad today. Want to come with me?” He invites but I profusely shake my head in him to tell him that I don't want to visit his dad. I still can remember he's the one decided to make me study in the library. Well, that's kinda hard to forget.

“Hmmm”, he replied while combing his hair with his hands. “When are you going to let me roam the pack again?” I asked demandingly. He looked at me and played his signature sinister smirk, “Depends on my mood”, he replied to me that made my blood boil.

“You can't imprison me here, Dion! Let me out for awhile.” I glared at his beautiful eyes but I can see his hard look.

“Stay here and we'll talk later.” He said with finality in his tone and started to walk out if the room. I only heard the door closed and I sighed heavily. No use of talking to him right now. I pulled the piece of paper under the bed and I smiled, “luckily he can't smell this too.”

“We'll sneak at exactly 11 pm this night. Open the window and wait for me.”

The letter says and I can't help but smile on it. I crumpled the paper once more and get up from bed. I went to the bathroom and throw the paper on the bowl before flashing it. “No evidence left”, I mumbled and look at the mirror.

“Is the red-eyed wolf still there?” I whispered to myself before touching the glass. Or maybe it's just an illusion? I questioned dmyself on my mind.

I turned the faucet to wash my face. I looked back again in the mirror before splashing water on my bare face.

“Mirror, mirror on the wall. Tell me that Ariella was here before. HAHAHAHAHAH”

I gulped hardly hearing those sound of voice. The tender and soft voice of a woman that can turn into a man or a witch. I violently looked at the window and I wasn't wrong—she's there.

“Looking for me, my lady? HAHAHAHA you seemed so interested right now. Wanted to try to come with me again? Hahahahaha” the woman laughed with a sound of seducing and horror. I can't help my hair go up, from fear that he might hurt me again.

“I don't want to get there again..I don't trust you.” I bravely replied putting my two palms in the sink that will serve me as support in leaning on the mirror.

“You can't play with me, again.” I lifted my head up and smirked at her but she's sinister more than I thought.

She pulled me in the mirror but I struggled not to. I kicked and shouted but just like before, my voice were muted. There's no voice coming out of my mouth. I tried getting out of sucking hole inside the glass mirror but my strength wasn't enough to do so. I find myself going with the flow of the mirror putting me back on a different place than before.

“I am the truth and the lie—”

“What do you want from me?!” I didn't let herfimish her words that made her brows raised on me.

“The Oracle has spoken and you will be that one person on it. You can't escape the coming huge event of your life.”

“No! I don't believe you! There's no such Oracle and I am the one making my own destiny. Do you understand?!” I shouted.

“psst”

“psst Ariella!”

“psstt”

My mind heard someone calling me with a strange sound. I opened my eyes and I am already laying on my bed. I looked around and my eyes locked on the window. “It's already dark!” I shouted in hurry, getting up from the bed and my eyes looked at the clock.

“Damn, it's already 11:10 pm”, I mumbled with shock and put my slippers on. I directly ran on the window and opened it. The wind blows my face coldly making me shove rin my position.

“You are late”, I heard Danica climbing in a rope a few meters away from my window. “What are you doing there?!”

“We're going to escape using this.” She obviously stated but my eyes rounded. I can't hang there and try my luck like spiderman climbing the buildings in the movie.

“I am pregnant Danica, for Pete's sake I can't escape there. ” I stated with an obvious reason and before she could reply I heard the door opened.

I calmed myself and closed the window so Danica can hide herself somewhere.

“What are doing there in the middle of the night?” Dion interrogated while opening his closet again ready to change his clothes.

“Uhm, I want fresh air. I can't sleep.” I made up an alibi and he looked at me with a serious face.

“Don't try escaping in the window. You will be dead before you touched the ground.” He said walking directly in the comfort room.before I could reply to him.
