Rio and Debby were walking towards the forest, a little bit too far from the center of the pack. Debby didn’t dare to ask where they were going but she looked here and there as her anxiety was rushing, coming back to her. Just after she thought that this man was different, kind and all, he ordered her to follow him back to the deep forest. The trees in this forest were tall to the sky, the leaves were so thick and the trunks were so big, Debby was sure even five men as big as Beta Rio would not be enough to hug this kind of giant tree. She gulped every time they seemed to walk further and further away from the residential center. She was walking just behind Rio, matching his long footsteps made her run a little, and almost ran out of breath. Rio finally realized her panting breath and slowed down his footsteps. Debby was focusing her steps on the rocky road, trying not to stumble on one of the thick roots and rock along the way. She didn’t pay attention to Rio’s movement, so when he
Declan knocked on the door to Lilly's room before he turned the knob and opened it. He stepped inside and saw his mate sitting on the bed while hugging her feet to her chest. Her head leaned on the top of her knees facing the window. He smiled instantly when entering the room. Her sweet, alluring scent filled the entire room. Calmed him and his beast, made the two of them breathe in the air as much as they could, and sighed in relief. If Draco was out now, he must be smiling like a stupid Lycan. "You must look at your stupid face then..." Draco mocked him back in his head and then back staring at his mate's little figure on the bed. Declan could only shake his head. He walked approached Lilly, took a chair, and put it just beside her bed. Now that Lilly was aware of him being present, she looked instantly alert and scared. "Hey, baby... How are you today?" He asked her softly. Contrast with the tone of his voice and how he usually talks with other people. Lilly didn't dare to look
Thirty minutes before Declan went to see Lilly…. “These are houses in this neighborhood. The Alphas and I are the ones of the residents here.” Rio said to Debby. He was giving Debby a tour around the neighborhood. The pack was actually like a small town inside this deep forest, Their location was right in the center of this residence, close where to Alphas lived and the medical center was built. “You and the other girls will stay at a temporary house around here until your condition is better. Until then, you will decide either you guys want to live here as part of our member or go back to wherever you were before kidnapped by the rogues.” Rio explained to her. Once again, Debby’s eyes widened as she heard him state something that was once impossible for someone like her to have. “W-We can choose?” Debby stammered. Choice. Low-lives could never have a choice. But now, they could choose something for themselves. “Of course. We had no right to force you to stay if you don’t want to.
“Rio!”Someone called him and both of them turned their head towards a man that seemed jogging a little towards them.“Alpha Finn.” He bowed his head politely and Debby followed his gesture.“Hey dude. I’ve been looking for you. You said you need help back there at the temporary house, but both me and Luca didn’t see you anywhere… but here” He looked at him and Debby with his eyebrows lifted.Rio opened closed his mouth before he could utter anything. Meanwhile, Debby only lowered her gaze. This is the Alpha, she should show him some respect.“Alpha Finn. I am so sorry. I was going to the temporary house after this. I was…”“Giving her a tour?” Finn teased him by wiggling his eyebrows while looking at Debby and him meaningfully.Rio cleared his throat and straighten his back, he sucked some air before responding to Finn’s tease.“I- I’m just helping her to get familiar around here, Alpha. She helped us earlier with the cremation ceremony, so I think it is just right to do so.”After h
Do I need to drink it first?Declan was stunned by Finn’s words. But he still did it anyway. He drank the water from the glass, leaving it only half full.“Baby, look. I already drink this. The remain is for you…” Declan was in doubt about handing her the glass. But he finally placed it on the floor, just next to her trembling body.Lilly seemed to hear him. She lifted her head and looked up at the glass. The water was not as full as before. It looked like this man already drunk it.But then, she remembered the terrifying memories. They want her to drink or eat, offering her so much food and water that looks delicious. Did they mean it? Or it was just another game the higher status played on her.Lilly was still shaking from her thoughts. The memories and her imagination were blending into one, creating a new terrifying scene in her head.Declan backed up for a few steps and he rubbed his face, frustrated that he couldn’t solve this at once. Her weak state and her pale face made his h
“Come on Love, eat more…” Luca tried to feed Lilly with another spoon of porridge, but she only looked at the spoon and Luca with her pleading eyes.“Kitten, you only eat three spoons and now you finish? It’s too little…” Finn said with a pouty face.Declan sighed and nodded. They were offering her a lot of soft foods and this porridge was the only one that she chose.“Or… you want something else? Look I brought this soup for you.” Declan immediately opened a bowl lid and showed her it was a chicken soup.It smelled delicious. Lilly inhaled the tasty smell, and she liked them all. All of the food they were offering to her was amazing! Sadly, she couldn’t eat more. It’s like her tummy was against her. It didn’t want this much. It’s too much for her. She felt full right now.Again, she only looked at the soup Declan showed her but didn’t react more than that.“You don’t like it?” Declan sounded sad, and Lilly instantly shook her head slowly. She didn’t want to disappoint him, all of the
Finn was smiling like an idiot when he finally hugged his little mate in his arms.He stared at her sleeping face. She is truly a beauty, even though she is so thin and pale, but all of that doesn’t cover how perfect she is for them. The bruises on her skin slowly faded, and her face was almost clean from the injuries. They were sighing at this view. Their beautiful little mate is finally here, wrapped around their arms just like a small kitten sleeps comfortably.Lilly was sleeping after the three of them fed her with some liquid meal and a soft dessert. Yet, she made them concerned even more when they saw how little she could eat. She couldn’t eat as much as normal people do. She was starved to the point she was eating less than she should be. When they wanted her to eat more, she would just stare at them with her pleading eyes. They asked her softly and convinced her to eat more, which she did. She would throw it up Only a few seconds after shoving another spoon of the meal. Like s
Meanwhile, the rogues were busy preparing their journey to the next location. They didn’t stay on the same location. Moreover, after they sold the slaves. They must find a new place without a trace, to prevent any attacker from another pack.Their business is illegal and they make a lot of money by doing so. It’s been years since they started kidnapping young girls or even buying them from poor families. So, it is very possible that one of the packs they attacked or the girls they were kidnapped from took their revenge.They usually sold the slaves to any pack that needed them. Of course, this was unaccepted in so many regions but not a few that still used slaves as their helpers in their pack. And one of them that purchased the slaves was Blue Moon Pack.Ken, Alpha of the Rogues were sitting silently on the edge of his bed looking at the floor, holding one of his shirt that Lilly usually used when she was sleeping on his bed. He looked at the ripped cloth and rubbed his thumb on the
