06~ Is This My Fate?

OLIVIA'S POV

Will I ever get to survive him? I thought to myself as I shut my eyes from staring at those dark eyes.

"You have three seconds to leave my sight this instant." He growled, and I could feel the anger in his voice as it reverberated through the woods. "Now!"

I had to run, my legs were moving faster. It was as if I wasn't in control of my body, like there was an external force causing me to run this faster. Why would he be so insisting that I should stay here? I don't want to be here, I just wanna live free without having anyone having control of my life.

I thought I was leaving my darkness, however, I ended up in my doom.

As I got back to the pack house, I rushed into my room, slamming the door like he was just right behind me and if I didn't have to be this quick, he'd barge in.

My heart was beating so fast that I could hear it loud and clear. What have I gotten myself into? Why does it have to be me? Can my day ever be better?

Just when I thought I was in my safe zone, I heard the sound of a knock on the door. I stiffened – terrified, knowing it was no one else but him. I couldn't risk letting him in.

I pulled away from the door, making steps away from it. Then he banged on the door, "Open this door this instant!" He demanded but I couldn't let him in.

I was scared that he'd hurt me if I had to let him in. I kept shaking my head, with both hands covering my mouth from screaming at each bang he made.

"You'll hate what I'll do if I have to break in myself. You better let me in, or I'll do otherwise." He warned.

I still couldn't pull myself together to walk towards that door. As much as I was scared to die, I wouldn't want to let him in. Seeing that I wasn't going to open the door, he ended up opening it himself.

I screamed at the loud sound of the door as he banged it down. His face wore a deadly look, his anger was at its peak.

"Please. Please." I begged. I only attempted to run, I don't know why he was making it look like I killed someone.

"Please don't hurt me, I beg you." I pleaded but he kept coming closer.

While he came closer, I kept moving backwards until my back was against the wall. I knew there was no escaping this time. "You should have opened the door when I asked you to." He said growled, his dark eyes piercing into mine.

"I... I..." I stuttered.

He grabbed my neck. "Save the excuses, I'm not interested in them."

"I... I wasn't trying to... give excuses. I... only..." I couldn't talk anymore. His grip tightened, choking me on my words.

I held his hand with both hands, with my strength I tried to pull his hand away but they were just too strong for my struggle. "P... please. I just... I just want to go. I... I want my freedom back."

"Then you should reconsider our deal. If you want to quit being my slave, then I'll have to execute you myself. So, do you still seek your freedom?"

Tears had already made their way down my cheeks. "I don't wanna die." I didn't know when the word left my mouth, but I did hear it loud and clear.

"Then you have no choice." He let go of me, and I fell to the ground, fighting to catch my lost breath.

"I will let you go this time, but if this ever repeats itself, I won't hesitate to kill you myself." He threatened.

He squatted, raising my chin so our face met. "Stay with me for a year and serve me faithfully, and I will set you free."

Was he making another deal? Stay with him? For a god-damn year?

I was scared to the bones. I had no choice but to agree to the deal even if it wasn't from my heart. I just wanted him out of here, I just want him out of my sight right. He was incredibly handsome, but scary too.

"I will."

"You will what?"

"I will serve you. I will do it."

"Good." A sinister smirk played on his face. Then he leaned closer, his lips on my ear. "Try to be a good girl and we'll be cool. But if you make any silly steps, you will hate to see the other side of me." He said that, leaving a kiss on my neck.

"Now wipe those tears, princess" he said, wiping my tears with his thumb.

All I did was watch as he gently cleaned up the tears on my face. "Meet me in my room first thing tomorrow morning, and don't be late. I want your face to be the first thing I see when I wake up."

Raven might be an annoying jerk ass, but trust me, he wasn't any way close to annoying as Alpha Rick.

I watched him leave, a sense of relief washed over me, even though I could still feel the fear running through my veins. Why is my life so miserable? Why would the moon goddess stay up there, watching all these happen and yet do nothing?

Was this how I was going to live for the rest of my life? And now he has chosen that I stay with him for a year to prove my loyalty.

Shit! I facepalmed my forehead.

Why would I even agree in the first place? Okay, he was going to kill me if I didn't. However, there was nothing I could do about it, this was something I'd have to live for.

I couldn't get myself to sleep even as the cold evening breeze blew against my skin, sending shivers down my spine. I hadn't stopped crying, regrets clouded my heart as I stared out of the window, glaring at the moon.

Is this my fate?
