An escape attempt

Daisy's POV. 

I stayed curled up on the bed with tears streaming from my eyes. I had been crying for days but no one had come to me nor had Alpha Maximilian who took me from my stepfather. 

That day I begged my stepfather to allow me to stay with him, that I would never make any complaint about my tuition fees or his bad habits but he paid deaf ears to all my pleading. 

He pushed me away when I tried getting closer to him. He said a lot of awful things to me and confessed how much he loathed me. 

I knew he hated but I didn't know he detested me so much to sell me to a heartless Alpha. Though Alpha Maximilian hadn't done anything to me since I arrived here, I was still afraid. 

I exhaled sharply and pushed those thoughts aside. I sat up and folded my knees upwards then pressed them against my soft breasts. 

"Why did you have to leave me?" I cried and buried my face in between my knees. "Why did you leave me to suffer so much?"

My mother committed the mistake of being with the wrong person, I didn't want to experience the same thing with Alpha Maximilian whom I had been sold to. 

"Mother, I wish you were here to protect me." I cried and my body quivered as I recalled the tales about Alpha Maximilian. 

I have heard things about him and they weren't good at all. Though I hadn't met him before but at the mention of his name, people trembled. 

He was a powerful Alpha. What did he want from a poor, orphaned girl like me? Why did purchase me some merchandise and even pick me up by himself? I knew that I wasn't that special to get the attention of such an Alpha. 

With a snap of his fingers, he could make more than a hundred Alphas surrender their respectable, beautiful, and well-educated daughters to him. 

I raised my face and looked around the room, my gaze darted to the window and an idea came into my mind. 

I didn't know what the Alpha wanted with me but I had to escape from him. His name had never been mentioned for anything good other than his cruelty, I certainly wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with such a person.

I knew that I had to run for my life, so I slowly stood up and walked to the window. I had never thought of escaping but this was the right time. 

The thoughts about getting caught came to my mind but I was more concerned about not leaving this place while I have the opportunity. 

I would have been gone by now if I had thought of it earlier. I walked barefoot on the cold floor and stopped when I reached the window. I slid it upward with much effort and it opened properly. 

A smile appeared on my lips and I quickly wiped my tears away. Finally, I would be free from here and from my stepfather. 

I imagined how beautiful my future would be after this, I would leave this pack and begin a life somewhere else. I would look for a job and start earning money then enroll in a school. 

Thinking of how perfect my life could be made me happy and more eager to leave without looking back or having thoughts about the consequences of my actions. 

Do you really think he won't find you out? He is a powerful Alpha, do not test his patience.

A small voice mocked me however I ignored it. I had made the decision and will stand by it. Nothing would make me end up like my mother. Nothing!

I looked out of the window and luckily my room was like a basement. The minute I passed through the window, my feet touched the floor. 

There wasn't any need for jumping or making noises that could alert anyone. 

I inhaled the chilling air outside and shivered a bit as I made my way around the large mansion; I was carefully and stealthily walking, looking out for any guards he had stationed around.

Though my body was shivering due to the fear of being discovered, it didn't deter me from moving forward and making my way to freedom. 

I stood behind the wall peeping at the guards in front of the mansion and thinking of ways to escape or elude them. 

I pursed my lips and was about to take another step when a firm hand wrapped around my small waist from behind. My breath hitched and my back pressed against something firm. 

I slowly looked at the large arm around me which was hairy and muscular. My body trembled realizing who it was. 

It was Alpha Maximilian. I felt his hot breath close to my ear and it made me quiver the more. For some reason, my body was wanton with desire

"Did you think you could escape from me?" He asked, with his intimidating but rather seductive voice. 

He released my waist and made me face him by grasping my arms in his firm but warm hands. 

My gaze met with his beautiful blue eyes and they looked dim and emotionless. I understood that I had provoked him by trying to escape and would certainly pay dearly for it. 

"Alpha…" 

My words hung in my throat as he began pulling and dragging me by the arm. He pulled me to my supposed room. I dared not say anything again, perceiving his anger. We reached the room and released my arm harshly. 

A gasp escaped my lips and I rubbed my hand around my arm which was hurt from the tight grasp. 

"How dare you attempt to escape? Did you think you would get that far!? I paid for your entire life and you will serve me as I deem fit!" Alpha Maximilian threatened, his emotionless orbs roving all over me as he spoke.

Although, I was shaken by his threats but I wouldn't let him trample all over me. 

"I have remained here for five days and not for once did you even care about me. Then why did you purchase me!?" I asked, sassily. 

I watched his expression change but his face became cold again before I could put meaning to that expression. 

He released my arm and I gasped again. I looked at his handsome face and expected him to probably kill me for the tone I used but instead, he did something else. 

Reaching for my buttons, he said; "You are about to find out what I bought you for".
