The Alpha's Parting Gift

Leaving no choice, I went out of the office and brought food outside before heading home.

Elaine's POV

Later in the evening, Vladimir called again us. Shantell and I were now wondering what it was about this time.

Our bodies were still in the middle of our recovery, yet there he is, never wasting his time even if he already declared we were already safe.

"Maybe he will now fulfill his promise of letting us go," Shantell said as we march to the dining area. "Isn't that wonderful? You can now find your mom," she giggled.

"Let's just hope so," I uttered before I shrug her off.

When we reach the kitchen, several appetizing food and drinks were already served on the table. Those were foods that we haven't experienced for the past eight years.

Shantell and I gulp a bulk of water down to our throats when our stomachs rumbled as soon as we saw them.

However, across the table was where Rachell and Vladimir laughing at each other. They even ticked their glass of wine. It seems that Vladimir already found his favorite puppet after the battle.

"Come on, ladies. Don't be shy. I can even hear the water you dragged down to your throats and the rumbling stomach from here." Vladimir said. "Come on, sit down. There are empty chairs intended for both of you."

Shantell, without further question, grabs her chair next to Rachell. And I left with no choice, knowing the food and drinks would be of great help to regain my lost strength.

As soon as we are settled at the table, Shantell and I grab our platters and fill them with food. And we ate like a bore that look like there was no tomorrow.

"Think of this as a celebration of the new beginning of your career. Never expected I would be joining three gorgeous ladies instead of one at this table…"

The three of us simply ignore Vladimir although he kept talking in front of us. Our undivided attention was focused on the food and drinks.

In the middle of filling our mouths with food and drinks, my head suddenly feels the entire room spinning. Three seconds after that, my arms and legs started to feel numb.

"You… poisoned me…" I did not get the chance to finish my statement when I drop my body to the floor, while Vladimir simply smiled at me, sipping his glass of wine.

Shantell wanted to help me, but she also experience the same case. Rachell followed. In a few minutes, a group of muscled men marched towards us.

One of them lifted my body and set me on the table right after removing the food and drinks.

"In our werewolf world, it is our main ruling that when a wolf turned eighteen, we were destined to find our mate. However, that rule no longer applies to me."

Vladimir halted for a few seconds and stares at us while those men are ripping our clothes off. I try to resist the man who was holding my hands too tight but the more I resist the more he smiles at me, telling me that he has me under control.

Unfortunately, the poison already runs through my veins. It immediately drained my strength. Even Shantell and Rachell could not resist as well.

"This organization I built was not intended to follow such a rule. But in order to fulfill this mission. I have to remove the soul out of you…"

This time, those men started licking my neck down to my breast. Tears voluntarily fall from my eyes when I could barely move my arms and legs to push back.

What was more unforgivable is when they mercilessly ejected their manhood into our caves. And they were enjoying it while we were in severe pain.

They molested us and did not stop until the five of them reach their peak. And they left us like used rags after fulfilling their egos. It was brutal. Unforgivable. But their faces were all registered in my brain.

For that same reason, I plan to have my revenge on them as soon as this ends.

"… Starting tonight, your bodies no longer belong to you. It's one of my requirements for you to have everlasting life and to fulfill my revenge on those who broke my life…"

To our surprise, Vladimir shifted into a notorious doglike monster in front of us. His eyes were glowing, full of hatred and anger.

He also had sharp and elongated claws and fangs, carved deeply over centuries and his white fur resembles his impurity.

Overall, he was the kind of monster everyone would not want to see, as it would only lead them into nightmares. He then jumps on the table and took a sniff at me first. Next was Rachell and last at Shantell.

The next morning, I was forced to wake up because of the extreme pain that I felt in my right shoulder. I remembered what Vladimir did to us last night. He once mentioned that his bite will be a gift.

I don't know what that means but I believe it has something to do with him being a monster.

When I catch a glimpse of the place, I found myself laying on a wharf alone. There were no signs of Shantell or Rachell. The worst part is that I am completely naked, full of dust and dirt.

Nevertheless, I simply ignored it. Instead, I lift my head to the smoldering sun, allowing its rays to penetrate through my pale skin.

I got freed finally.

That's what I thought after hearing several gunshots nearby. A panic attack emerges inside me so I rush away from my spot. When I found an empty car parked on the corner of the street, I open the tailgate and hop in afterward.

Even if I already covered my ears using my bare hands, the continuous sounds of the gunshots still linger in my brain as though they were pulling the trigger next to me.

However, I could barely sense anyone around. Not a single person. As I was about to hop out of the tailgate, the car flashed in a rush. The worst part is that the tailgate got locked up. Even if I already pushed it hard a few times, I could not open it.

A few minutes later, the engine of the car switched off.

"Are you sure you gonna lend me your car, Sir? I cannot promise it wouldn’t get any scratch," says the man in an eager tone. He then claps the roof of the car twice.

"Go home, Archie. We still have a long day tomorrow." this time, the voice came from an old man.

My ears could hear his footsteps fading away. And in a few seconds, the engine of the car was switched on again and started moving.

As the car kept moving, I suddenly experience having a hard time breathing. I could barely see anything but utter darkness. And my heartbeats began pounding like thunder.

Shit. I forgot I am a claustrophobic person. I yelled out for help, but the driver instead switched the stereo on. He felt not contented when he even sang the song aloud.

Loud enough, he could barely hear my screams from the tailgate.

After a few minutes, I could feel there was something inside me that wanted to get out as though it was ripping my chest apart. I wanted to stretch out my legs but I couldn’t because of the tiny space.

My vision of the dark space suddenly brightened up as though my eyes glimmered for a few seconds. When my bones cracked, I stretched out my arms and leaned them to the door of the tailgate. To my surprise, I could feel my undersized nails enlarge sharply.

They pierced through the metal walls of the car. My scream suddenly turned into a thunderous howling, which resulted in the driver stepping his foot onto the brake.

He grabs his gun before hopping out of the car. When he got closer to me, I took the opportunity to make an excruciating sound that caught up his attention.

"Who's that?" he worriedly inquired.

"Please open the door," I utter back in a rough voice because of the unbearable pain I am currently experiencing.

As soon as he heard my voice, he lifted the door of the tailgate with caution. When I got some light coming from the outside, I push the door open to have some fresh air.

I could see the sides of my arms already grow some fur. And I could see my image from the side mirror of the car the same thing I’d seen about Vladimir when he shifted into a doglike monster.

"No. This can’t be," I uttered.

"Miss, are you all right?" the man said in a calm and sweet tone. "Do you need some help?"

Don't know how, but as soon as I heard his sweet and calm voice, my boiling blood slowly eased off. Those furs from my arms and legs also disappeared. In a few seconds, those sharp and elongated claws and fangs also vanished.

“I am going to put my coat on the ground so you could cover your body, all right?" he added before he dropped the coat to the ground beside me. "My name is Archie. And I am a cop. May I know what your name is?"

Before I could say a word, I grab his coat and wrap it around me. But instead of extending my appreciation for helping me, I rush out of the parking lot.

Sure he followed me.
