I walked around the room. It was quite fancy, a king size bed, white walls and gold interiors. The rug looked like it could buy my entire house and everything I owned . I walked to the bathroom to wash my face, I looked horrible so I decided to have a bath.
I had a quick bath and got out, I didn’t have anything to wear so I wore my old outfit.
I heard a knock on the door, without waiting a second the door flung open.
“Hi..” I could hear myself stammer.
“Sit!.” He ordered.
‘How rude!.’ I thought but god knew I was scared of him, he was taller than me and huge.
I sat quietly waiting for him to take advantage of me, tears already boiling in my eyes. I thought this wasn’t going to happen again.
“What’s your name??.”
“I am Alora.” I replied with my head low, I didn’t dare to make eye contact.
Hookers code number one, never look the man in the eye it meant you were disrespecting him. This was my life again.
“I am not hurting you!.” He sounded somewhat calm and gentle as he touched my face with his finger. I felt something, something I couldn’t explain.
“Thank you!.” I replied before running out of the room.
I ran as fast as possible to the elevator, it showed it was on the fifth floor and only God knew what floor I was on.
“Come up already!!. Or down!.” I facepalmed myself out of frustration.
A man grabbed my waist tight as though trying to squeeze the air out of my body. I turned to see him, initially thinking it was the man from the hotel room.
“What’s a girl like you doing here?. Lost your cat.!!” He asked. He was a bit sarcastic and rude.
“No i…”
“Aren’t you one of the girls from the motel?!.” He asked before pinning me on the other side of the wall.
I knew I looked bad but I looked nothing like a prostitute and even if I was,I bet I wasn’t supposed to be treated like a doll everyone could play with.
I turned to the elevator and it hadn't come up or down yet. He was a few inches from my face, my lip could almost touch his. I slapped him across the face.
‘Why the heck did I do that!.’ I thought when I saw his eyes turn red. ‘What the fuck!!, a werewolf!!, this can’t be good!!.’ I was dead for sure he was going to be brutal with me.
“She’s mine!.” I heard a harsh voice say.
‘Great another man!!.’ Could this day get any worse??.
I got beaten up really bad by a man mad, had a dream of my horrible days of prostitution, running down a lobby with my injured body and now a man claiming me.
“Are you okay, love?!.”
My eyes almost popped out of its sockets, is he kidding me?. Nice acting skills Mr.
“ Alpha….. Boss!.” The man who held me Shricked. “I am sorry I didn’t know you were in the building.”
‘Alpha??.’
I didn’t hear an answer from the so-called Alpha/Boss the next thing I saw the huge man knelt down in front of him.
Back at the hotel room, a doctor came in and ran a test on me.
“She’s fine, just take care of her, she needs a proper diet and rest.”
“Thanks doc.” Aiden said.
“Now tell me why did you run??!.”Aiden turned to ask me.
The doctor speechlessly walked out.
“I was scared you were gonna do something.”
‘Man!, I was in a room with a guy and being sold out to prostitution made me think the unthinkable, I couldn’t be even too sure of people.’I gave my answer in my head.
He reached for my hand and I jumped immediately, like he was going to cut them off.
“Relax.”
“Are you an Alpha??.” I blurted.
Why did I ask like that? What if he is harsh?
“What do you mean?!.” Aiden asked me with an innocent face.
“Like a pack leader!.” I continued without thinking.
I felt his hands on mine, it was like a ticklish sensation, my eyes moved up to his, for the first time I noticed his green eyes.
“I am!., do you..”
“My father was a werewolf.” I told him without letting him finish.
Hell no that beast wasn’t my father, my step father who sold me out, who ruined my life, who hit and treated me like a diseased person . He physically abused me , vabaly and emotionally, who in their right mind sells a thirteen year old girl into slavery and prostitution all in the name of he found his mate late when she had already given birth to an abomination (me!!).
I am Alora Thomas, as far as I can remember my life has been hell, I do remember a time my life was like a bed of roses. It was just me and my mum against the world, she took care of me and I kept a smile on her face. Well all things good has an end and mine ended too fast, I was four when Willam came into our lives. He was the sweetest, I never had a father until he came, he was everything I wished for, I could finally talk about my ‘father’ to my friends. Yes we’re just kids but we did talk a lot. My mom loved him so much and so did he. I was always the third wheel on their dates until I was eight, he began to change, he acted differently, either it was because of poor grades (B-) I couldn’t get anything lower or I didn’t clean the entire house. I didn’t have time for school, how could I when I was the slave of my own house and for some reason my mother didn’t find out. The day I tried to tell her was the day he sold me to a prostitution firm over seas. “This is where you belong,
“Alora?!.” Alora’s mother called out!. “Baby?!.” She called out and pushed Alora’s room door open. Both her and Helios Alora’s father was stunned by the sight. Alora laid on the pile of what used to be her room, it was a mess, with her under her blanket. Helios pulled the duvet off her. “Are you okay?!.” Helios asked Alora. Alora looked up at him with sharp gold eyes. Her father pulled into his arms and cradled her like a newborn. “Baby?!.” He called her. “What’s wrong?.” Alora buried her face in her fathers arms. “What’s wrong with her?!.” Winfred asked. ^^^ Alora’s POV I got a heartbreaking news from school, I couldn’t believe it! My best friend is dead!!. Shot by a hunter!. I couldn’t concentrate during my last four lessons. I was like a shell of myself, I wasn’t able to move, hear or speak. Teachers kept calling me out but I was too far away to hear them, I could still see their lips moving but I didn’t hear them, I assumed they were still blabbing about the topics of
Aiden POV. I and Marshal walked into the company building, all the staff stood from their desks, the ones already standing stopped what they were doing to greet me and Marshal, I was in too much of a hurry to answer their greetings. Myself and Marshal walked staring to my private elevator which led straight to my office which was on the eighth floor so was the conference room. Once I stepped out of the elevator I could hear the voices of the shareholders. They seemed to be having a crisis there, so I moved swiftly to the door. Marshal opened it for me and I walked in. The moment I stepped in the chatter stopped, my Aura was enough to short them up without me saying a thing. I sat at my usual seat, while Marshal sat beside me. “Shall we begin??.” I asked with a cold tone. “Yes indeed,” Mr Alfred said. “Mr Alfred I need the report on the ongoing project in India.” I demanded with my eyes on him. He seemed shaky, he flipped through the pages of his portfolio, from the first page
“I am sorry if I upset you, I just wanted to know but that’s alright if you don’t want to share it.” Aiden said. I felt guilty when I heard his sad voice “I am sorry for being that way, it’s just that I had a tough time with my family and talking about it brings back memories I want to forget but I can’t.” I answered with a wounded heart, tears rolled down my eyes as I spoke. “I understand. But can you answer just this one question?ʻ.” What did he understand and another question??, just kill me already!. I nodded without breathing. I focused on my fingernails. “What’s a Mate?.” I looked up at him, his face had no emotions that I could read. I opened my mouth but no words came out, I tried again but nothing,I inhaled and exhaled. “The person is your missing rib, that piece that you had been searching for and finally found. someone that you can’t do without.” I inhaled and held it, then I continued with images of my mom and William flashing before my eyes. “Someone you would go th
I couldn’t move my eyes from his face, it was too enchanting. He looked out of this world, he looked like he was created out of every woman’s dream man. I heard a phone ring, clearly it wasn’t mine, Aiden looked away, apparently it was his phone, he answered the call and spoke harshly. With him on the phone I could breathe freely. I inhaled and exhaled as though once he was done with the call I wouldn’t be allowed to breathe. “Meet us at the mall!.” Aiden replied to whatever the person on the other end said. “You know the one I am referring to!.” He said harshly, then hung up. I looked up at him and then quickly looked away. I felt his hand around my shoulder. I shivered when I felt like our skin was magnetic. I could tell that a jerk was staring at us through the rearview mirror, a growl erupted from Aidens chest, that made me jump and as well made that jerk stop staring. “I am sorry love.” He said with those endearments that made my heart skip a bit. I nodded at him. ‘What’s w
Alora’s POV My eyes flashed with anger when my phone hit the ground, it was definitely dead now!, I immediately pulled myself together. This was no longer high school. It was about time I thought this bitch a lesson she would never forget. “Seems you now have a sugar daddy that pays your bills, I am sure without one you wouldn’t be able to pay for anything in here!.” Linda said with her black eyes flashing at me. She has always been a pain in the neck, it was time she got a taste of her own medicine. “Are you done talking?!.” I asked her. “Actually I am sure you can’t attract a rich man to be your sugar daddy!.” Linda said with a mucking tone. I was used to her insults what she said didn’t seem to bug or shake me as they initially use to, sometimes she sounded stupid and out of point. “Your point exactly?!!.” I asked as I crossed my hands on my chest waiting for her to run out of words, that would be easy as she didn’t bring her goons. “My point is you’re into prostitution now!
I felt my heart aching, I felt tears steering up in my eyes. I wasn’t gonna cry not because of a man I didn’t know!, I am not that weak, not because of this. “Oh nice to meet you Alice!.” I said with the most convincing smile I could offer. I sat beside them, I watched as Alice played with Aidens blonde hair. ^^^^ { This is horrible!!.} Marshal said through the mind-link. { Luna is extremely quiet, she hasn’t said a thing !.} Liam mind-linked Marshal. {I think she’s uncomfortable with Alice being here!.} Marshal replied. {who wouldn’t be, Alice is a show off!} ^^^ I couldn’t take the display of affection! I was a fool to think he would love me. For a moment I thought he would love me like William loved my mom. He might have been horrible to me but he was a great example of true love. I could never be with someone like him, he was meant for a woman with class and a good family name, not me!!. Linda was right. I was a low class girl who couldn’t attract a man like Aiden. I am n
“You’re mistaken, I am not who you think I am!!.” I cried. “Please don’t hurt my friend!!.” I pleaded. “I can’t be wrong!!.” Aiden told me. Aiden grabbed my waist, and pulled me into his embrace. “Let my friend go!.”I told Aiden. “Please don’t hurt her!!.” “I wouldn’t, Alora please understand, you are my missing rib!.” “No!!, no Aiden, don't use my words against me!!.” I pleaded. Tears ran down my eyes. “But you were right!. every word you said was exactly right!.” Aiden told me. I pushed him away. With tears in my eyes, I saw Liam walk back in. “Aiden!, I can’t, I can’t do this!!.” I told him. “I can’t bear to be with a werewolf!!.” I felt the temperature in the room drop, I felt my breath size. “He is a Lycan, not a werewolf!.” Liam told me. “I had a terrible experience with your kind!!, I can’t, I just can’t !.” I said, trying to leave. I felt something hard hit me, it wasn’t someone but my own emotions, I felt memories I had buried, I felt thoughts and experiences that
