I was led outside to a black SUV, which was parked in a secluded spot away from prying eyes and ears. I was relieved to see my family waiting beside the SUV. I would have five minutes to say my goodbyes to them. Five minutes wasn't much time, but given the circumstances, it was better then nothing. When I joined my family, they all threw their arms around me in a group hug, and as crazy as it may seem, I felt their love for me in that moment. As they pulled back from me, Haven quietly hissed, "What the hell were you thinking? Do you know what they will do to you if they find out the truth?"
I quickly shushed her not wanting to risk anyone overhearing us, especially the werewolves. I knew what I had done had been risky. But to me, it was a chance worth taking. My brother took me into his warm embrace and whispered, "You're strong. You're a survivor. I know you will be fine. It's only twelve months, remember that. You will be back home before you know it."
When he releas
As we drove away, leaving my family behind, I watched anxiously as civilization disappeared out of my line of sight. I knew I had done a bad thing, a dangerous thing, something that could potentially get me killed. But I had done it for all the right reasons! If these wolves were to ever find out that I wasn't Haven, they would kill me for sure, along with my family. We would all be slaughtered like the sheep these beasts thought we were. But I couldn't let Haven die. I couldn't let her be one of their victims.I don't know how much time passed before the smooth county road turned into a bumpy dirt track. The woods became thicker and I felt my anxiety increase. I had never been this far away from town before. This was an area that was heavily patrolled by beasts. The patrolling beasts stopped anyone who tried to enter these lands. The entire time we were driving, the werewolves in the car with me remained silent as the car continued making its way through the mountains.
Heidi walked quickly, leading me through the expensively furnished mansion. Soon we were walking down a hallway that had a tiled floor. The pale cream walls were lined with large paintings, which looked to me like they should be in a museum or art gallery somewhere. At the end of the hallway there was an inconspicuous door, and I was surprised when Heidi opened the door and started leading me downstairs. I followed her down the narrow staircase in silence, and tried to let my eyes adjust to the growing darkness, as we got further into what I now realized was the basement.Once we were standing at the bottom of the staircase, I tried to take in my surroundings. The floor was just your standard concrete slab floor. The basement was also dusty, and had the unmistakable musty smell of mold in the air. The air felt thick in here. I watched as Heidi made her way over to an old wooden door and opened it, revealing an old bathroom. There was nothing nice about this bathroom. It
I lay there in the silence of the tiny room, breathing in the heavy musty air. It felt stifling in here. I couldn't fall asleep despite feeling tired out from the craziness of the day.I looked around the room and saw a vent in the wall beneath the wooden table in my room. Getting up off my bed, I made my way over to the vent to check it out. I quietly undid the screws and lifted the cover off, and took a look at the inside of the vent. There was nothing else in there, and it had an adequate amount of space, so I made a decision. This would be the ideal spot to hide my bag whenever I was out of the room. I grabbed my bag and put it in the vent before placing the cover back on and doing up the screws.Getting up off the floor, I quickly made my bed, and when I was done, lay back down on it. I don't know how long I had been laying there on my bed when there was a ruckus at my door. It was apparent that someone was trying to get into my room. I waited on my be
Alpha Cole lifted one of the large chunks of meat off the tray and began to chow down on it in a manner befitting that of a wild animal. As I watched him devour the meat, I mentally chanted, "Don't vomit, don't vomit, don't vomit." I was feeling nauseated at the sight of the beasts seated before me, who were eating their meal like a pack of wild dogs tearing into a carcass."Haven," a warm voice said.I wasn't paying attention though, because I was too busy trying not to throw up to notice someone was addressing me."Haven," a deep voice called.Suddenly it hit me. Shit! I'm Haven! Taking a step forward, I was aware of the sound of what sounded like a glass hitting the table hard. I wasn't about to look up though to find out for sure, because I honestly didn't want to die."Fill my glass," Alpha Cole growled."Wait, fill his glass. With what? Heidi had never told me what Alpha Cole drank with his dinner," I thought, beginning to
When the wolves had finally finished eating, they all got up from the table and left the dining hall, leaving us girls to clean up their mess. As he was leaving the dining room, Alpha Cole gave me one last long lingering look. As the beasts left the room, the tension in the room slowly dissipated. I stood and watched as the girls all began to visibly relax. Heidi went and grabbed a couple of cleaning rags and dipped them into a big plastic tub of water.Walking over to me, she handed me a cloth and said, "We have to clean the table and each chair."As I began to wash the chair that Alpha Cole had been sitting in, I noticed that we weren't using any cleaning products, just hot water. I didn't say anything about it though, not wanting to be laughed at again. As if picking up on my thoughts, Heidi said, "We don't use cleaning products here. The werewolves don't like scented soaps. So to clean we just use hot water and good old fashioned elbow grease. We clean the di
I was still standing in the spot where I had ended up, after Beta Chad had dragged me into the office. I was absentmindedly rubbing where Beta Chad had grabbed my arm. These beasts are so rough! At some point they were bound to break bones. I looked up and saw that Alpha Cole's attention was on the paperwork on his desk. Suddenly, he looked up and caught me watching him. The gaze he gave me made my core clench. "What the fuck?" I thought, shocked by my physical response to him."Come here," he snapped, pointing his pointer finger to the side of his chair.Unbelievable! He was commanding me like I was a dog. It seemed like I was nothing more than a bitch to him. It was obvious my life had zero value to him or the members of his pack. To him, I was just like every other girl before me. Well... he was a pathetic excuse of a man as far as I was concerned.I slowly walked towards him, and stood at the edge of his desk, not wanting to get any closer to him
I quietly left Alpha Cole's office, softly closing the door behind me. I was stunned by what had just taken place in there. As I turned away from the door, I caught the sight of one of the beasts down the hallway. It took me a moment to realize he was the same one who had led me up here."Why was he here?" I wondered.As I looked at him, I took in his posture, he was leaning against the wall, and he did not look amused. Suddenly his eyes snapped to me. He had blonde hair, and blonde facial hair. I wouldn't call it a beard personally, to me it simply looked as though he hadn't shaved for a week or two. He was wearing black jeans, with boots and he had a black t shirt on. As I was observing him, he was doing the same to me, and I could tell by the look on his face, he did not like what he was seeing."Good... you don't want him to like what he sees... you are not his!" the voice in my head reminded me."Follow me," Beta Chad bit out.
As I sat on my bed I couldn't help but think about what Heidi had said earlier. As a form of punishment the wolves hunted girls. In that moment, I decided that I had to find out about the hunts that the wolves did. Was it only as a punishment? Or did they do them for other occasions as well? Is that why no girls ever came back home?Suddenly I realized why the girls here were the way they were. These girls would constantly be living in a constant state of fight or flight. That meant that these girls would have emotional damage from the constant emotional stress they would be living with every day. I had to finally admit to myself what I had been fighting all day, living here in this place was going to destroy me like it had done to them. What if it reached a point where I felt the only option I had was to take my own life because I didn't want to live any longer? But if I did that, would Alpha Cole see that as me not fulfilling my part of the sacrifice? Would he then hu
Cole's POVI sat at my desk and watched in quiet fascination as Haven met my gaze in shock, and a look of panic filled her eyes. In a matter of seconds the pulse at the base of Haven's throat began to race like that of someone running from a predator. Well... I guess in a way, that was what I was to her. But still... she fascinated me in a way that no one ever had before. Haven quickly dropped her eyes, unable to hold my gaze any longer. "What had she been thinking?" I wondered, finding myself becoming more and more intrigued by her. "Clearly she hadn't been having any sexual thoughts, because if she had the smell of her arousal would be all over my office. So what had caused her to look so panicked?" Haven was unlike any girl I had ever met before, and I had met a lot of girls over the years. They had all been power hungry and wanting a title. But Haven wasn't like any of them. She was like a precious jewel. To me... she was definitely a one of a kind.Ever sinc
I was in the kitchen cutting up a deer carcass for Cole's breakfast. The other girls we working around me, and talking quietly among themselves. I knew they were all wondering why I had been MIA the past few days. The fact that Cole hadn't said anything about the situation wasn't lost on me, neither was the fact that no one had mentioned Michelle around me.I finished loading up the platter with raw meat before setting the knife down on the bench. I made my way over to the kitchen sink and washed and dried my hands. When I was done, I walked back over to my workspace and picked up the tray of raw meat that I was to serve to Cole for his breakfast. Carrying the tray, I made my way over to where Heidi was waiting with a few of the other slave girls. They were standing near the door, and waiting to enter the dining room so they could serve the werewolves.As we stood there in the doorway with them, I felt Reign pacing back and forth inside my head. She was anxious a
Over the last few days I had stayed in my room. I kept the door locked, and I just stayed on my bed. I was driving myself crazy wondering if Cole had screwed Michelle. Between my own thoughts racing through my head on a loop, and Reigns own questions about Cole and Michelle, I think it was safe to say we were almost ready to be medicated and institutionalized.My thoughts had consumed me to the point that even though I hadn't eaten anything over the past few days, I wasn't feeling hungry. I was too consumed with trying to wrap my head around the contents of Cole's note.When I had first locked myself in my room, I had fully intended to go upstairs to help the girls serve the meals. But when the time had come, I just couldn't bring myself to leave the safety of my bedroom. Over the past several days, the only time that I had left my room was to use the bathroom.I knew after I had missed the first meal that there was a chance that I would be pun
Alpha Cole's POVI watched Haven closely as I memorized every tiny detail about her. Every shiver, every sharp intake of breath, the look in her eyes that showed me she wanted me, and the smell of her arousal. I know that if I took her right here on my office desk, she would welcome it. She wanted me as much as I wanted her. There was no doubt in my mind. But I couldn't take her, not yet. There were some things I needed to take care of first. A knock sounded on my office door, and I could have strangled whoever had chosen that moment to interrupt us."Come in," I called out. The door opened and Michelle strutted into my office like she owned the place.'Well, well, well, this meeting was long overdue,' I thought in amusement, as I watched her come to a stop in front of my desk."What do you want Michelle?" I asked, doing everything I could to mask my annoyance at her interruption of my time with Haven."Alpha, I thought I could he
I was annoyed when the door opened, and Michelle walked into the office. She made her way into the office, and came to a stop in front of Cole's solid timber desk."Michelle, what do you want?" Cole asked, glancing at her."Alpha, I thought I could help you to let off some steam," she murmured, while licking her lips.'Talk about eating a man alive,' Reign snarled.Alpha Cole got up from his chair and made his way past me, walking over to where Michelle was standing. He placed his hands on either side of her face, tilting her head back so that her eyes were on his."Get out," he bit out.'Yes! You tell that hussy! Who the hell does she think she is?' Reign snarled."Get out!" Alpha Cole bit out again, looking over at me.'He chose that hussy over us? What the fuck?' Reign gasped, shocked by this sudden turn of events.Michelle smirked at me as I made my way out of the room. Once I was out of Alpha
Cole snarled, causing me to shiver. He scared me, but excited me in more ways then one. Swiftly he grabbed me, tugging me forward and causing me to lose my balance. He gripped my chin, forcibly tilting my head back so that my eyes met his. My gaze met his, and I could see the stern look in his eyes. A shiver of fright made its way down my spine, and I could see that if he was angered this much by my little show of defiance, he would certainly kill me if I provoked him.Suddenly Cole growled a deep growl, showing me his disapproval. I knew that he could feel the waves of emotion that were making their way through me. It was clear to me that he was fed up with my lack of obedience and my constant defiance. It was obvious that I was not what he had been expecting. It had been clear to me from the moment we had first met.I was standing there when a power unlike anything I had ever experienced before in my life hit me. It was coming from Cole. I let out a whimper as
"Come here!" he commanded in a low growl, causing me to flinch as my heart sped out of control. "Now!" he added, clearly irritated at my lack of speed in doing what he had asked. I slowly made my way over to his desk, standing so that I was beside him, but just out of his arm reach. I decided I would stand close enough to him to obey his command, but far enough away so that he couldn't hit me. As I stood there, I bit my lower lip, trying to stop it from quivering as I waited in anticipation.His scent filled my nose, making Reign giddy. His scent was a combination of leather, musk and cedar. It was heavenly, and I could feel it calming my nerves.Looking at him as he sat there, I couldn't help but think, 'This man was designed by the gods, but somewhere along the way, the devil had decided to lend a hand. He was beautiful, simply breath taking, yet... a monster resided within him.'I felt the battle that was waging within myself, wanting him, c
The next morning I was making my way upstairs to do the breakfast preparation with Heidi, when a certain annoying bitch put in an appearance. "So, I heard that Alpha Cole is pissed at you," she stated smugly, as she smirked at me."Gee, I wonder who she heard that from," Reign said, with an eye roll, making me have to hide my smirk.Stayce placed her hands on her wide hips, and looked at me smugly, before saying, "I tried to tell you, you are a nobody, and soon, you will be nothing more then a dead body."She smiled in satisfaction, her fat cheeks sticking out like a chipmunk with a mouth full of nuts. She was obviously enjoying sharing this new found information of hers, and didn't seem to care who overheard her. No wonder she was the Beta's favorite toy. They were both cruel and damaged beings. They were also both set on destroying others for their own selfish reasons. In short, they were perfect for one another."Except chipmunk cheeks ain't a wolf. A
I ate as much as I could, feeling the strength beginning to return to my body with every bite of food I swallowed. As I ate, I thought about the admiration the girls had shown me. Looking at Heidi I asked, "Heidi, are whippings common?""No, usually they use other forms of punishment," she replied.No wonder these girls had such admiration for me. I had survived the punishment in silence. "So... how do they normally punish us?" I asked, wanting to know.Hushed answers to my questions started firing from their lips."Slapped""Hunted""Starved""Beaten""Worked until we drop""Hosed down in the freezing cold""Clawed""Collared""Raped"The last comment made my blood freeze.That was the one thing that I honestly wasn't sure I could survive. I could take their abuse. Their bullying. I could take the pain. But I honestly didn't think I could survive that. Having them take a pi
