Chapter 5

I followed Jacob home. I didn't follow him home, he dragged me by the arm into his car and then strapped me into the passenger seat by force. I tried to free myself but he glared at me and promised to do what the other pack had done to my friend, Lisa. I whimpered in silence as I saw there was nothing I could do. I watched as he banged the door in my face. I was sure the car's door would come off but thankfully, it didn't. Jacob walked over to his side of the car and opened it. He immediately entered inside and banged the door again. He turned to me as I watched him pat my head forcefully and then smile. He stretched his seat belt a little further and then strapped it in. He turned to stare at me again before turning the car on and igniting its engine. I leaned into the car seat, exhausted and annoyed as I soon felt the car move.

When we arrived home, I watched as Jacob came outside of the car and walked over to me. He pulled off my seat belt and asked me to get up. I stayed put. I was not going to act weak nor entertain anything more from him anymore. He had lied to me and that was enough reason for me to hate him. I wanted to go home. But where was home?

"Get out of the car?" He said one last time to me. I turned my face the other way as I closed my eyes and leaned into the car seat. Suddenly, I felt him lean into the car. He was breaths away from me when he whispered in my ear. "Don't dare me, I promise, you'll die immediately. You see, I'm much worse than Caesar. I just thought to let you know" He immediately leaned back out of the car and watched for my reaction. I froze. A man worse than Caesar? I could only imagine. I didn't bother to say a word as I still stood my ground, no one would make me come out of that car. He saw that I wasn't budging and so he immediately pulled me by my arm again. He dragged me outside the car and pushed me to the wall. I almost banged my head on the wall as I missed it by a breath. Immediately he turned, and I ran. I ran out the gate and into the streets. I had been running for quite a while until I noticed I was running to nowhere in particular. It looked like the same night I had escaped from Caesar. It was all coming back to me. But why?!

I got tired of running as I tripped and fell. I landed on the ground with dirt on my face. I managed to roll over and sit as I tried to dust myself off. It was becoming a normal thing for me now to have myself rolled up in the dirt. I took a deep breath and sat up straight as I folded my knees in. I was so tired already as I even became hungry. I looked around to see that I was lost and it was becoming darker. I started to cry again. Life was so unfair to me.

Suddenly, I heard something moving in the trees behind me. It seemed like the wind at first but after looking hard at it, I discovered it wasn't. I felt u could sense a pair of eyes watching me. Yellow eyes I mean. Everything stood still as I tried to have a closer look at it.

I was still watching when I heard a sound. It was a grunt. The figure watching me was grunting at me. I couldn't move as I froze on the spot. All the hairs on my body stood at attention as I heard that sound for the second time. I could feel my heart quickening. I wanted to scream but instead, I swallowed hard. My mind raced with options of what I was to do but I found none. I started sweating.

I waited for some seconds as I eagerly wanted to see what was looking at me right in the face and soon, I saw a leg. Hairy legs crawled at first. Soon, its full body was facing me. I could see the full creature. I gasped instantly as I recognized it. It was none other than the beast I had run away from a few minutes ago. How could he have found me?.. but then again, how could he not? This was his neighborhood after all. I recognized that he was in his wolf form. The same form he had used to defeat the alpha before. I rolled my eyes. At least it wasn't someone else that I was sure would hurt me. It was just him.

I watched as Jacob shifted forms back into his human form. He asked me if I was alright but I didn't bother to answer him. I just hung my head low as I allowed him to talk. When he was done, he waited for a reply which I still did not give to him.

"Get up! Let's go! I won't ask this of you again. Don't make me want to punish you!! Let's just be the way we were before!!" He yelled into my ear. He was too loud and it frightened me. 

"Excuse me, sir!! I do not know you and neither do I want to know you. Please take me back to the cabin you had taken me from. I would rather be a slave to them than to be fated to you. You lying, good-for-nothing cheat. You made me believe you were there for me, but you ended up lying to me" I said boldly. He watched me talk and when I was done, he bent over and grabbed my hand. He stood me up and slapped me. He slapped me again and again.
