Destined

Chapter Seven: The Plan

*Lily POV*

We had been back at the packhouse for about a week now. I had mostly been in bed recovering from the cabin. But I was finally able to get up and do some of the Luna work. I also secretly sent a message to the witch and now I was just awaiting a reply. I did not have to wait long as soon a fire message landed on my desk.

I will help you.

Expect a gift soon.

After I read the message it disappeared like it had never arrived. The rest of the day I focused on my Luna tasks.

*Daniel POV*

Since we have been back my little mate seems to be on her best behavior. I hope she finally learned her lesson. Although I do enjoy punishing her. She makes the most wonderful sounds. I was in my office catching up on my Alpha paperwork from while we were at the cabin. It was tedious work. I decided to go down to the dungeons to pay the little omega I had permanently stuck down there a visit. When I walked into her cell I could see her shiver in fear. I think I will relieve some boredom and have some fun. I picked her up by her hair and ripped off her tattered clothing. I spent the next couple hours punishing her body and teaching her her place.

Eventually I got hungry and decided to find my mate and have her fix me dinner.

*Lily POV*

Another week passed by and no new messages from the witch. I decided I needed to find a place to hide after I made my escape. I slowly made my way to Daniel’s office and gently knocked on the door. I waited outside for permission to come in.

“Come in and be quick. I am busy.” Daniel growled out.

I quickly walked in and over to him. I placed a kiss on his cheek and then on his lips when he looked at me. I was playing nice so hopefully he would grant my request.

“Master? I was hoping I could go out for a walk. It is such a nice day out and I could use some exercise. Would that be alright with you Sir?” I asked as sweetly as I could with a smile on my face.

“Hmm. Well you have been a very good girl since we got back. I suppose you could go out for an hour. But I expect you to come straight back to me in an hour. If you are late I will paddle you 20 times per minute, you are late. Is that understood?” He replied sternly.

Inside I jumped for joy. “Yes Master. Thank you Master.” I said kissing him on the lips.

I walked as calmly but as quickly as I could to the pack border. I did not go straight there but made it look like I was walking at random. I followed the pack border for some time looking for any place I could hide after I escaped. Just as I was going to give up and turn back for the day I saw it. About a half a mile away from the border and up a hill was a cave. I could go there to hide for a few days until I could move on. As I made my way back to the pack house I thought about sending a message to the witch to tell her. As soon as I got back I went straight for Daniel’s office to let him know I was back.

“Good girl. Right on time. How was your walk little mate?” Daniel asked as he pulled me onto his lap.

“ It was good, Master. Thank you. It was nice to get fresh air and soak up the sun’s rays while getting some exercise. How has your day been, Master?” I replied.

“It was good, little mate. Now I think you owe me for letting you out don’t you little mate? Why don’t you get on your knees and show me how grateful you are for letting you out of the house.” Daniel said with a smirk.

Another couple days went by and I had sent another message to the witch. I hadn’t heard anything back yet and I was starting to get a little nervous. I was in my office doing some pack paperwork. Suddenly a fire message landed on my desk startling me.

Good job.

Instructions to follow soon.

Be ready.

Just like last time, soon as I was done reading POOF it disappeared like it was never there. I yawned and stretched, for once I wasn’t wrapped tightly in his arms while he slept. I turned to make sure he was still asleep and also look at the clock. He was dead asleep and it was 3am. Good he would still be asleep for a couple more hours at least. I walked to the bathroom, right after I had finished and was washing my hands a fire message arrived. Startled, I jumped but didn’t dare make a sound so he wouldn’t be woken.

Put the needed items in the box.

Will take a few weeks.

I looked at the list of items on the box that came with the message.

*Lock of hair from both

*Vial of blood

*Location of Cave

I gathered the necessary items and put them in the box. I hope the hair from his brush was ok. After I placed the lid on the box it disappeared quickly. Not wanting to linger in the bathroom and risk him waking up, I quickly crawled back into bed.

Another few weeks passed by and nothing much had changed. I was punished for any wrongdoings in his eyes. Just yesterday I was punished for making his coffee too early so it had cooled down and wasn’t hot enough. I was so over this life, it was no longer a relationship, it was just straight up abuse. I have seen how he treats other pack members as well, I don’t understand why they stay. Or more to the point, why no one has challenged him for his Alpha rank and the pack. Perhaps they too are afraid of his wrath and know he is too strong. I wish the werewolf elders would step in.

I was in my office again doing my duties, when a fire message with a small box arrived.

Take this at 3am on the next new moon.

Break bonds first.

Run and hide.

He will not be able to find you.

Blessed Be Child.

May the Goddess be with you.

Inside the box was a small vial. I quickly hid the vial and then checked the calendar. The next new moon was just under a month away. Great. I sighed and thought at least my escape was becoming a reality. I could endure another month, I would be strong. As I waited to make my escape, I did everything I could to be the perfect mate he wanted. I was trying to get punished as least as possible so I had my strength for my escape. I couldn’t risk having anything broken that would slow me down. I only have one chance for this if I screw up he would make certain it would never happen again. Not to mention he would probably beat me to near death and then wait for me to heal and do it again and again for trying to leave him.

Finally the night arrived. I barely slept, trying to keep an eye on the time but also watch the time so I wasn’t late. At 2:40am I slowly, as to not wake him, I crawled out of bed and got ready to make my escape. I put on the warmest clothes I own, as I didn’t know how long I would have to stay in the cave or outside. I couldn’t risk shifting into my wolf until we got to safety. I decided to take nothing but the potion the witch gave me with me. I quickly but silently moved out of the sleeping packhouse.
