Page 8 of Kidnapped By the Alpha

The room was almost entirely bare. Aside from the furniture, the only belongings I saw were a few candles and a pile of folded clothes. Nothing that I could use as a weapon.

I crouched down and moved to the front of the cabin, where a small window gave me a view of the outside. This side of the cabin faced away from the gathering of wolves, and no one was in sight.

This was my chance.

I steadied myself with a deep breath and exhaled forcefully. I shook my hands at the wrists and bounced on the balls of my feet, hyping myself up to escape from this nightmare.

The door opened easily, and I immediately began to run at full speed. I didn’t bother to hide myself. It would be better tobe quick than to be sneaky. All I could think of was getting back to town to find Madi and Mila.

Stop!Rae shouted at me just as I got out of sight of the cabins.

Where have you been?I asked my wolf frantically. She had been completely absent from my mind ever since the wolfsbane had been injected, and I had been starting to get worried that she had been hurt by the poison.We need to get out of here.

No, we can’t leave,Rae said. I stopped running as Rae attempted to force us to shift. I could feel her desire to go back to the cabin.

Do you not understand what just happened? Were you sleeping through that entire debacle?I asked, genuinely confused by her request.

I was there, I just couldn’t get through to you because of the wolfsbane,she said.But it’s going to be OK if we go back. I know it will be.

There is absolutely no way in hell that I’m going back there,I told her.Jasper is a violent, angry, terrible man. How could you possibly ask me to stay there as his mate? I wouldn’t be caught dead by his side.

We need him—you’ll see,Rae insisted.

The last time you went against my plan, it ended with Madi being kidnapped,I pointed out. I was frozen in place as I fought my wolf for control.Your insistence on this is going to get us killed!

Madi and Aiden found love, Rae pointed out.I’m not saying this is going to be easy, but I cannot deny the pull I feelfor him. I haven’t even gotten to meet his wolf yet. Please, I’m begging you to go back.

My wolf and I had been so wrapped up in our conversation that I hadn’t been paying attention to my surroundings.

The snap of a twig brought me back to my current predicament, and I turned toward the sound. A man who appeared to be around my age had appeared, and he was standing just an arm’s length away from me.

“Shit,” I cursed, and sprinted away from him.

But he was too quick. I had only gone a few steps when he reached me, and we both tumbled to the ground. He pinned me in the same way that Jasper had done earlier, straddling my chest and holding my arms above my head.

“You shouldn’t be out here all by yourself, little missy,” he said with a sinister smile on his face. “Or should I say, big missy? You’ve got quite the body on you, don’t ya?”

He kept hold of my wrists with one of his hands and used the other to caress my breasts. He smelled strongly of stale sweat and alcohol, and I gagged as the stench washed over me.

“I’m looking for Jasper,” I lied, hoping he would release me.

He shook his head, catching me in the lie. “Our alpha told us that he had put you to bed,” he said with a wink. “But it seems to me like you were interested in a more… adventurous coupling tonight.”

“No, really, I was just looking for Jasper, I swear.” My heart was beating frantically as panic set in.

“Shh,” he said. He moved his wandering hand up to my lips and placed it there, encouraging me to stop talking. “Don’t worry. I won’t tell him. We’ll have our own fun.”

The stranger drew his hand away from my lips back down to cup one of my breasts. He squeezed tightly, and I felt his erection press into my stomach. My eyes widened with fear. I was completely helpless in this state. I had no energy left to fight, and no one to rescue me.

“Please,” I whispered, closing my eyes to block out as much of the experience as I could. “Please let me go.”

“When I’m done with you,” the man replied. I heard the sound of a zipper being unzipped, and the weight on my torso shifted downward. In my mind, I prayed to the wolf god for deliverance.

A loud growl sounded from my right, and I opened my eyes quickly. My hands were released from their position above my head, and the man was looking away from me.

“Alpha—” he began to speak, but the words were cut off as he was ripped from his position on top of me and dragged away by a large and imposing figure. A scream rang out from where he had been taken a few feet away, and then there was silence.

I lay still, unsure if I had been saved or if I was in even greater danger than I had just been in. After a moment, I steeled my nerves and sat up.
