HAILEY’S POVI opened my eyes to find myself in a dark place. I tried raising my hands to rub my itching eyelids but noticed it was bound to something. I tried raising the second one and it was the same which made me realize my hands were tied and it made me panic as I became fully conscious.Where was I? I looked around trying to catch a glimpse of something but everywhere was dark and it gave me chills.Then all of a sudden, the light came on and I saw someone standing right before my face which made me fret and jerked backward. I almost fell but the chair I was tied to was so heavy that it prevented me from landing on the ground.“Hey! You are finally awake. I have been waiting forever,” a female voice said to me which made me look closely. It was Matilda. She was holding a bloody meat cleaver and immediately I swallowed as I noticed how sharp it was.“What is your bloody name?” She asked and I hesitated before saying. “ Hailey.”“Hailey. You know you deserve to die right?” she sai
HAILEY’S POVJust four hours to get myself out of this God-forsaken place if I still valued my life. I hurriedly packed all I could into my bag as I continued having flashbacks of Matilda.I knew she wasn’t the type to bluff and she wouldn’t hesitate to kill me. Killing me won’t do anything to her and I knew she wouldn’t think twice before doing such.I didn’t want to take the risk to see what she could do because I knew I’d end up paying for it with my life.I knew I still had a whole lot to pack if I wanted to get everything but there was no way I was going to do that without being caught.If I packed everything, it wouldn’t take them long to discover that I was gone and start searching for me, and that way they had higher chances of getting me.I decided to leave a whole lot and arranged my bed like nothing was going on. As soon as I was done with anything, I searched around to be sure I wasn’t missing anything important. Even if I was, that was it because I was not ready to put
Hailey's POVAlpha Zach grabbed my arm and began to pull me away. "Let me go. I promise I will never try to escape again," I said."Says the woman who doesn't do as I tell her," Alpha Zach said angrily as he kept dragging me with him. We finally got to the door. He opened the door and dragged me in with him."What are you trying to do?" I asked him, already getting scared."I'm locking you up here to learn your lesson," he said."Please don't lock me up here. I'm really scared of confined places. I'm claustrophobic, please," I got on my knees and begged but my pleas fell on deaf ears."Maybe this will teach you not to disobey me next time I give you an order," Alpha Zach said.He turned around to leave but I grabbed him by his clothes, while still on my knees. "Please," I begged him, tears formed in my eyes.Alpha Zach looked down at me with something like hatred burning from his eyes. He was just the man I've known him to be, I thought as I held on to his clothes."Let me go this
Matilda's POVI was so upset. I had expected that Hailey had been long gone only for me to hear that she was still here and that she had been locked up by the Alpha. Now Zach was yelling at me because of her.I wanted so much to wrap my hands around her neck and strangle the life out of her. I wasn't going to share Zach with her. I wanted to be the only woman in his life and I was going to do whatever it takes to make that happen.I took one last deadly glare at Hailey before storming out of the room. I was so angry that I went to Zach's room because I knew he was going to come back and meet me there. When I got to his room, I pulled out a bottle of wine from his wine cabinet and poured myself a drink cuz right now I needed something to calm me down. I was almost done with my second glass when Zach walked in."Did you threaten to make the guards lose their jobs?" Zach asked me."I wanted to see Hailey and they weren't letting me so I had to threaten them a little even though I didn't
HAILEY’S POVThe door flung open and Alpha Zach walked in. I immediately stood up from the floor and wiped the tears on my face. I knew my face looked like a big mess right now but I couldn’t care less. What I cared about now was why he was here.It didn’t seem like he was going to come in here anytime soon because he promised me he was going to keep me confined for a long time just to punish me. He walked around the room and checked all the corners carefully before turning back to look at me. I wondered what was wrong with me because to my knowledge he looked a little tipsy. That looked like the perfect explanation of what was going on. I didn’t think he would come to look at me if he was in his right state of mind. The anger he bore towards me for trying to escape wouldn’t let him.Truth be told he had a very calm countenance, the only time he looked mean or cold was whenever he wanted to personally. Otherwise, he looked like a very calm person.I wondered why he had Matilda her
Hailey POVAlpha Zac walked away and I stood there, for minutes looking lost.I didn't want to be here, I didn't want to be married to him, I didn't even like him but he wanted me to start staying in his chambers. My face carried an absent minded expression as I settled on the mattress in the room.I was living like hell all because of Alisha and her greed. I didn't deserve this, I certainly wasn't a seductress. Even if I was, I certainly wouldn't seduce someone like Alpha Zac. He was an enemy of my pack.Matilda was mean to me as well but I couldn't blame her much as she was also hurt by the turn out of events.I winced in pain as I touched my face. The pain searing through my skin.Tears flowed down my cheeks as I remembered how peaceful and full of joy my life had been when my mother was still alive. I was shielded from the harshness of my pack and our rival packs.Now I felt exposed to the cruelty and harsh treatment of the dangerous packs and even the mountain pack was no except
MATILDAIt pleased me to watch her being dragged out and humiliated.Of course, from the look on my face, I am sure she suspected that I had a hand in all this.Earlier today, when I heard Zac had asked her to come to his chambers, I was pissed and I went somewhere to cool off. ****"Come here now!" I ordered through my mind link and he responded after some seconds "where are you and why the aggression?" I growled at his questions and retorted angrily "Follow my scent and come here this instant!" With those words, I closed my mind link and paced around in anger.Thinking of a way to bring Hailey down while pacing around restlessly, I stumbled on the old table in the room and cursed. While I stooped down to look at my red toes, he walked in and asked sarcastically "Who made the queen angry this time? 'Sniff' let me guess, it is no other than our guest and Luna to be." A growl escaped my mouth as I pounced on him and he retreated with his hands held up, he ran towards the other side
ALPHA ZAC WOODSI left the dining hall in anger. The impulse to slit her throat and watch her blood spill on my hands lit up in me.How could she have the guts to steal in my pack? As if seducing me and making me stoop so low sleep with her was not enough.'She has to pay. She has to pay.' The anger within me increased and I was getting out of control. How can she think she's smarter than me? Stealing from my lady under my nose. I will make her a scape goat, a lesson for others to learn from.I walked into my room and opened the bottle of wine in front of me.I poured it into the glass on the table, my anger making my hand unstable making me almost pour out the content of the bottle. I gulped down the whole liquid and I turned in another one. I gulped it down again and turned in the third round. I was about to gulp it down my throat when a feminine hand held my hand, preventing me from pouring the contents into my mouth.With her second hand, she collected the glass cup from me and
