CHAPTER-4: THE RESCUE

I was cursing him while looking for some help to call Annie but nobody attended me. I guessed I offended their mighty King.

Nonsensical, Arrogant, bloody ugly Hippopo. 

Ugly huh? 

My Stupid Sense (SS) raised her eyebrows at me. 

Oh yeah! Outer beauty doesn't define inner beauty. He is just as ugly as his tongue was. 

I sighed before going to the washroom to empty my bladder. I will have to bribe someone to help me now. I did my business and washed my hands before cleaning my makeup. My eyes caught the sight of the bruise on my wrist and again colourful cursing left my mouth at which I Am very bad. 

While walking out, I heard some loud voices with guttural sounds from the direction of the men's washroom. I furrowed my eyebrows in a doubt like someone was fighting inside or making out. Sighing, I shrugged my shoulders before walking out. What to me!

But as I moved ahead, I heard a very deep animalistic growl. I glued to my spot with horror. Is that some animal but before I couldn't ponder over this a crying sound of some kid resounded the area.  

I spun around assuming some animal was attacking the kid. Nobody was around so no one heard those voices. I was astonished how this assumption of mine could take place in the washroom. I weighed on my options to save the kid or asked for some help. But again those crying and yelling heightened. 

The kid!

I jogged to that direction and slammed the door open to see two muscular men were forcing a little boy into something. But he was resisting them. Sensing me, they turned and glared at me.

“You….you  brutes don't dare to hurt him. I already called the police, so.. stay away.” I tried to scare them with a warning with a shaky voice. I held the open doorknob in case they tried to do something to me so I could make a run. 

I bit my lips in worry before glancing at the kid who didn't seem scared but angry. The men ignored me and tried to catch the kid who slid away. 

“Don't you dare to come near me?” The kid warned them and I blinked at him. For a little kid, he surely held a dominating aura around him. 

“You little….” one of the brutes tried to hurt him but the other stopped.

“No drake! We need him in one piece without any scratch. We have no time, make him sleep now. I can't waste time.” 

These bastards were trying to kidnap him! 

“Hey, you both! I said let the kid go.” I shouted and they casted deadly glares at me. I gulped fearing them.

“Run away, Bitch.” The first one named Drake, screamed at me as if he had run out of patience. 

“Let the kid go….”

“Handle her!” The other one who ordered Drake to get the kid instructed him to get me now before walking to the kid himself. 

My eyes broadened and before I could run, that brute was already on me. I thrashed in his hold when he slammed me to the wall before gritting his teeth. I clawed my nails into arms but he snarled and the next moment my eyes popped out of its socket seeing his grisly face. Something like canines protruding out of his teeth and his eyes colored changed as he growled at me like an animal. 

I swear I had a mini heart attack. I stayed still, scared shit as tears formed in my eyes with terror. He was not human!

Before he could do further harm, I heard him groaning and cursing. He left me and I hardly steadied myself from falling with the impact. I looked down at the kid who had stabbed some syringe into his thigh. The man held his leg and crawled on the floor looking paralysed. I was flabbergasted with what just happened. 

That little kid grabbed my hand and we ran out of the washroom into the open hallway of the airport. 

“Wh….what was he?” I asked no one in particular in aghast. 

“Run. They will come after us.” The kid said loudly seeing my slow steps.

“Oh..my suitcase!” I yelled and ran back to grab it from outside the washroom. I pulled it up before the kid groaned.

“Hurry up, woman!” 

I gaped at him wide-eyed. What's up with this kid? He surely behaved like a grown-ass man.

I wondered what happened to another man. I looked behind to see if they were following us but thankfully no. What this kid did to Drake man was beyond my thoughts. We sprinted around a crowded area, people were passing by in a rush, I looked around so I could ask for security. But that kid pulled me out with him through the terminals to the opening. 

“Where are we going? Hey stop…” I tried to stop that little superman who had a powerful energy unlike me but he kept running.

“We are going to my dad….” the kid huffed, pulling me behind him. As we were almost out of the airport building territory, Someone shouted from our side.

“Alex…!”

We turned to see a man who came jogging to us and that kid ran to him before flinging himself into his arms. I sighed a big time. At least he got his family. 

“Where were you, champion?” the man asked in a worried tone, inspecting Alex’s body for any injury. As I focused more on that familiar voice, I realised he was the one who winked at me. 

Not again! 

I gasped seeing his brown eyes followed my sight and slowly they narrowed at me. Oh shoot!

If he is here then.. That fatty hippopo would be…

“Dad..”

Someone called loudly and I looked down at Alex running to…Him.

Dad?

His stiff Acqua blue eyes softened as He grabbed the kid into his heavy arms. He kneeled down before staring at his son’s face with an unblinking gaze. But his jaws were tightly clipped. I looked up at a few men stopped behind him. His bodyguards!

Were they looking after the kid? Tsk! 

He was wandering around lecturing and insulting people without knowing the whereabouts of his own son despite having a big army. 

“King!”

They bowed their heads in what seemed like shame. I blinked and witnessed him closing his eyes before growling. Then his eyes opened and his gaze directly fell upon me. I was startled and gulped Seeing the stiffness in his dark eyes.

Oh huh!

Dude, I rescued your son! 

‘Time to run before He could bash us!’

SS suggested. 

But before I could think anything He stood up and strode towards me in rage. I could feel his buddy trying to stop him.

“Andreas..”

And it all happened in seconds when I was slammed into the glass wall behind me for the second time in a day. What's happening with the creepy people here? Are they even human?

My muffled scream went unheard as He started choking me tightly, making my eyes pop up.

“You fucking dare to mess up with my son, you filthy peasant!” He seethed before putting more pressure on my tender neck. 

“I….leave me…” my cracked voice couldn't bear the fury radiating out of his presence. From my peripheral view, I noticed people assembled around us. 

I was feeling light-headed with the deadly choking. He will kill me today.

Oh god! Help me!

With the little struggle left in me, I tried to kick his crotch but He blocked my move with his heavy strong legs and slowly lifted me in the air to his height. I was lacking oxygen and my lungs constricted. Tears leaked down my face as I heard the kid, Alex shouting something behind him but I couldn't decipher anything.

That's when I saw him, the real Him. His blue eyes turned into crimson as He snapped his canines at me. My mouth ajar opened with the shock and my heart stopped beating. I felt the air thinned around me as a deep and thundering growl left his mouth shaking everything around me with his raw power. 

And the last whisper coated with an utter shock I heard from his mouth before I drowned into the darkness was a….

Mate!
