THE LYCAN KING.

I cried out in pain. The plastic bag I was carrying had torn and the plate had cracked, the contents were spilled on the ground. My hope for breakfast was gone.

I was angry and hurt, I wanted to teach this man a lesson.

The man stood above me, smiling.

“How rude to run away from a gentleman.” He said, his voice was filled with sarcasms.

It was times like this I wished I was a Luna. I growled at the man.

He threw his head back in laughter.

I tried standing up but he brought his foot to my face and pressed it against my cheek, the under of his shoes smelt like dirt, I tried my best to push his leg out of my face but in return he pressed it harder.

I yelled and he kicked my face.

“If I hear even a whimper from you… I’m gonna break you into two.” He warned.

I was quiet, his threats didn’t seem like bluff to me, he lifted me from the ground and pulled me towards the alley.

I fought him, kicked his leg and lunged towards him, he pushed me away from him, raised his hand in the air and threw a deafening slap across my cheek.

The ringing in my ear was louder than any I’ve ever heard.

” Foolish rogue… ” He yelled but it sounded like a whisper because my ears were still ringing.

He pushed my body against the wall of the alley, the brick were freezing cold against my cheeks.

The man sucked on my neck and my eyes widened in realization of what he was about to do.

I pushed myself away from the wall.

“Everytime you struggle, you get punished.” He said turning me to face him, he slapped me again in the same cheek and pushed me back onto the wall.

“Must protect the pup!.” My wolf yelled.

If there was anything I could do. I felt tears slip past my eyes and I gritted my teeth in anger, this was not the time to cry, no one would save me.

The Gamma lifted my skirt and I felt his strong cold fingers touch my tighs, then it crawled upwards and his hot breath crashed against the back of my neck as he sniffed me.

“Please don’t do this, I’m pregnant… I’m carrying a pup.” I begged the Gamma , I heard a thunderous laughter.

“Don’t worry, what I’m about to do would not hurt your pup, I might even give it a companion…” He said.

“No!.” I yelled fighting him.

His fingers wrapped around the back of my neck, he pulled me away from the wall, and he was about to smash my face against it when suddenly, his fingers left my neck and I heard a loud thud.

My legs and hands were trembling, I could almost feel my blood running through my veins, I was so scared.

I turned to the Gamma and he was sprawled on the ground, motionless.

“Heyyy, are you alright?.” A deep voice asked me, my eyes lifted sharply to the person speaking. Serious Amber eyes stared at me with concern. But it might just be an act, my former pack members would stare at you with concern and end up shoving your face two feets into the ground.

I shifted back, my back pressed against the wall.

“Please don’t hurt me, please.” I begged the man. My heart was punching against my rib cage and my breathing was becoming abnormal.

The last time this happened, I had fainted. I knew very well that this was the worst time for my body to shut down from sudden shock but I couldn’t fight it.

The last thing I felt were strong hands wrapping around me.

***

I woke up to silence. I sat up from the unfamiliar bed, I didn’t know where I was but the room was large and beige themed.

I climbed down from the bed, suddenly the feel of the fabric on my body made me alert, I looked down to see that I was wearing a big T shirt, it was so big it stopped just above my knee.

I hugged my myself, feeling very naked. I knew that someone had changed me from my clothes and had seen my nakedness.

I cringed as the thought ran through my mind, I pushed past the door and made it to the hallway.

The place seemed deserted and oddly quiet, the halls were vast and they stretched very far. I was relieved when I saw a staircase, I walked down the stairs only to be filled by dread when I came in contact with an identical hallway.

I was lost.

The sound of voices made me walk over to a slightly open door.

I peeked in, there were several men wearing dark suits, amongst them was a familiar face, the man that had asked me if I was alright yesterday before I blacked out.

“You have to secure this position!.” A voice shrieked.

“Don’t you dare raise your voice at me… Know your place!.” The man from yesterday said, his commanding voice cut through like glass, filling the room with the loudest silence I have ever heard.

“I’m sorry sir… Please forgive me.”

The man stood up, his jarring height dwarf the other men who were sitting, his seemed to lessen everything in the room and his presence carried an authoritative aura.

“Since getting married is the only way I would secure that position then I’d have to replace a wife for myself…. You all are dismissed.” The man said.

There was silence in the room, I expected the other men to stand up and walk out but they were reluctant.

“B-but, boss… Y-you have to replace a wife soon.” One man said, his voice was trembling with fear.

“He is right sir, the deadline is in twenty four hours.” The other man said.

“Twenty four hours and you called this meeting today!.” The man from yesterday yelled, his voice thundered, I felt a shiver run down my spine.

I pitied the men he was angry at, nobody would want to be in their shoes. I felt as if I could touch the anger if I reached my hand out.

“We’re sorry boss… We’re so sorry.” The men said fearfully.

“Get out, leave!.” The man roared.

The men quickly stood from their chairs and ran out of the door, they were in such a hurry that they didn’t even see me.

I placed my back on the wall, as they ran the other way, when they had exited the hallway, I walked back to the door about to keep on peeking when the man’s Amber eyes met mine. I had been caught.

I froze as he made his way towards me.
