Chapter 11

Olivia

I was alone in the room now, Jacob had gotten a call about important business that he had to attend to and he had left the table in a rush, waving me goodbye.

I was still confused about a lot of things but at least I knew where I was and how I had gotten here. But knowing that had left more questions in my head.

Why would they go through such a sacred ritual to keep my life when they had no idea who I was?

Had they mistaken me for someone else?

What would happen when they figured out that I am just an ordinary slave?

What prophecy was Alpha Jacob talking about?

I made up my mind that I did not need the answers to them. I needed to find a way to leave this place immediately. I looked around. The only option to escape was the windows and I would surely die if I attempted to escape through there.

Just then, an idea popped into my head. The staff in the villa seemed to respect  me or at least not pay me any attention. 

I slipped my feet into slippers and started walking out of the room. I smiled at the guards and to my surprise, they let me pass without stopping me. All the other guards let me pass too and I was feeling shocked. But I did not let that distract me. 

I kept walking to the front till I felt a hand on my shoulder.

“Miss, where are you going?” Gina said, politely.

Panic shot through me as she stood there, waiting for an answer. I froze as I searched for an answer that would not make hee suspicious.

“I'm sorry, i just needed to take a walk, if that is fine” i lied.

“I can come with you” she said,

“No, do not come with me!” I said, my voice rising slightly.

“Well… because i have to shift to my wolf and she gets really aggressive when she hasn't been out in a while”

The truth was that I had not heard from my wolf in a long time. She was too weak to surface even though I had tried to reach her multiple times.

The explanation seemed satisfactory for her and she also looked like she did not want to offend me. She bowed her head and let me pass.

I walked out of the front door without any other person and I could not believe how easy it was. 

I knew that it might not last long before someone noticed that I had not actually gone for a walk.

The villa had a huge gate ahead and it looked impossible to climb over. I had no idea how I was going to escape from the compound when the gate was locked. 

My wolf was still not strong enough for me to shift and jump over the wall, and even if she was, most of the guards here were bigger and stronger than me in their wolf forms.

I thought of turning back and giving up, but I cautioned myself immediately. My years at the rogue pack taught me never to get too comfortable. Even though Alpha Jacob had answered some of my questions, I still had no idea what their real intentions were.

Just then, a voice came from behind me.

“Good afternoon miss, would you like to go anywhere?” 

I turned around to see a man dressed in a very neat suit. He had an easy smile on his face and he stared at me like we were long time friends.

“What?” I asked him, confused. Fear gripped my heart as he stood there. If he found out that I was trying to run away, he would most surely report me to the Alphas.

“I am the driver, it looks like you need to get somewhere.would you like me to drop you off”

It seemed a bit weird that nobody was questioning my movements. All they wanted to know was whether they could help me. That is not the way a person who had been captured was treated.

They were treating me like a visitor. I looked towards the driver and smiled.

“No, thank you. I do not need a driver, I am just taking a walk, "I said.

“Okay miss.” he said, and turned around to walk away.

I felt relieved, before I realized that I still did not know how I was going to get out of the huge gates.

Just then, the gates opened and two black cars came in. The cars looked expensive and sleek. They drove directly to me and parked by my side.

Just then the window of the first car came down and a familiar face stared back at me.

Fear went through me as I saw Alpha christians green eyes.

“Are you going somewhere?” he asked me, his face hard.

“No…no, I am not” I stuttered, trying to think of an excuse.

“So what are you doing at this side of the compound?” he asked me.

“I was just taking a walk to clear my head sir” I lied again.

He looked at me as if he didn't believe me and said,

“Jacob is too nice” then he closed the window and drove away.

The second car followed and I immediately started walking back to the main building. There was no way I could go on with my plan now that he had seen me. And i knew he expected me to come with him.

The second car stopped and Alpha Damon came out.  He did not even pay any attention to me or spare me a glance as he walked into the house.

I increased my steps and got to the house. Gina was waiting for me immediately when I entered.

“The alphas would like to have lunch with you, miss, we should get you ready” she said.

I nodded and let her lead me away. I had not given up. I would find my way out of this place soon.
