Chapter 4 The Alpha King
Hours later, the effect of the drugs finally wore off. I could finally move my body.
I sat upright holding my tummy because I felt like using the bathroom. Furthermore, I couldn’t hold in the pee anymore.
I glanced around the room, wondering where the bathroom and two doors were. One of them must be the bathroom.
I was about to come down from the huge bed when I heard footsteps. Shit!
I quickly lay down just in time for the door to open. Stilling my breath, I heard humming again and then”Get up, dear, I know you’re awake.”
I mentally widened my eyes. What? How do you know that?
“Quickly, get up. We need to get you ready.”
My eyes opened, I sat up to see the woman, she should be in her late forties or so. “How do you know I’m awake?”
I watched as she brought out some clothes and dropped them on the bed.
“I know a thing or two about the human body.”
My eyes popped out at that.” Human? Are you not human?”
She stopped what she was doing and faced me, “Of course I am, I read science in school, now come on.”
I breathed out, relieved after hearing that. A human hm, I don’t know what I was thinking, maybe I didn’t hear those guys clearly.
I got down from the bed, “Can you show me where the bathroom is?”
She pointed at the door by the left, I went in. My brain worked quickly, trying to think of a way out of here. But no matter how smart my brains are, I couldn’t come up with anything.
I feel so confused, I need to understand where I am, and only that woman can be of help.
After using the bathroom, I walked out. “Do you know I was kidnapped?” I asked the woman “help me out please, you’re a woman like me, help me get away from here. Speaking of which, where is this place?”
The woman paled instantly.
She came to my side and covered my mouth, “Shhh, are you stupid? Whatever you do in this place, mind the way you talk, or else you’ll get into trouble.”
I stared at her, shocked by her actions, “But I…”
She shook her head”It’s not possible dear, if you’re here, you can never get out again. Now take off your clothes, let me help you dress, he should be here any minute now.”
My heart skipped.
She shook her head”It’s not possible dear, if you’re here, you can never get out again. Now take off your clothes, let me help you dress, he should be here any minute now.”
My heart skipped. He?
“Hold on a minute… what do you mean by I can’t go out? What does that mean?” I asked.
I have a premonition that this situation is a little direr than I thought.
Instead of answering, she came closer and was about to take off my clothes when I caught her hands.
“What are you doing? I prefer not to meet anyone nor change into something else! Leave me alone!”
She dropped her hands to the side and sigh, “I know how you feel my dear but in other to survive in this place, you better do as you’re told and please, don’t do anything stupid.”
With that said, the woman turned and left. I frown, What was all that about?
Don’t do anything stupid? I snorted, yeah right. They kidnapped me and thought I’ll be happy about it?
An idea popped into my head, I rushed to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked.
Without thinking, I started banging on it and screaming at the top of my lungs, “Help!! Anyone there! Help me! I’ve been kidnapped!”
“Hello? Anyone?” I shouted till my throat became scratchy and hoarse.
When I got no reply, I glanced around the room only to see a balcony!!
Oh my, why didn’t I see that before? I can escape through there, I just don’t know how tall this building this.
I walked out to the balcony and glanced down.” Holy shit!!! This building is so tall! About fifty-story building or so, and it seems like I’m on the last floor.”
I chewed on my lips, contemplating, should I go down or not? One thing is for sure, I’ll die if I slip.
But there’s no other way out, this is my only chance before the so-called Alpha shows up. I glanced down at my tight short gown and purse my lips.
The gown will surely be a problem if I’m to jump over the balcony.
I rushed back into the room to look for anything sharp that I can use to tear the gown.
Luckily, I found a small table knife in the drawer. A knife!! This can also be of help to me.
Without wasting time, I tore both sides of the gown making it easier for me to walk then I hid the knife in my back – using my bra straps to support it.
Afterwards, I took in a deep breath and jumped over to the other side of the balcony. I held on to the wrought iron bars as my life depended on them.
Don’t look down Laney, you can do this. I chanted in my mind.
I slowly stretched out my legs, looking for where to set my foot. I found it after a while and proceeded to the next floor beneath me and then the next.
I was on the 5th floor when I heard voices.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Boss, she’s trying to escape through the balcony”
There was silence at first and then…” I know.”
My heart flutters at the voice, I don’t know why, but my body flushed all of a sudden. Are they talking about me? If they know, then why aren’t they making any attempt to stop me?
“So what should we do about it, sir?”
I stretch my ears to hear his reply.
“Let her be.”
Hearing that, I shrugged my shoulders and continued. I wasn’t paying attention to my footing and almost slipped, but I caught myself just in time. Even at that, the wrought iron bars still injured my hands.
I bit my lips hard to keep from crying out, after composing myself, I ignored the pain and went down to the next floor.
Soon, my legs finally touched the floor. I breathed out in relief. Goodness! I did it, I can’t believe I climbed down from the ten-story building. Cassie will think I’m crazy if she hears this.
Pushing my excitement aside, I glanced left and right, wondering where to go next. This place looks wholly different from Boston, maybe it’s because it’s still dark.
I shook my head and was about to take the right route when I felt a presence behind me. I felt the person’s breath in my ears and froze, “Going somewhere?”
I screamed, moving away from whoever that is, I quickly turned to see who it was.
Someone stood there watching me with a cold look on his face. His striking face is perfectly shaved, his sensual lips look so achingly full l can almost feel them mine. Six feet – plus of perfectly controlled male stands in a perfect black suit and a killer tie. He’s the very devil in a man, strong-boned, square-jawed, and with gleaming dark hair. His muscles flexed as he crossed his arms. His eyes were the first thing that captured my attention, icy grey eyes that stared at me like he has seen something interesting.
At that moment, I also realized something which startled me. I was wet! The more I stared at him, the more wetness pooled in between my legs.
My nipples also hardened. I noticed my breath quickened, shocking the hell out of me.
What the hell is going on?
In my whole life, I’ve never felt any attraction to any man, so what is going on?
I unconsciously took a step backward as something occurred to me. One minute, I was the only one standing here and then the next he came out of nowhere… how?
How is that possible?
Whoever this person is, my instincts told me to run! Because everything about him screams danger.
His eyes flickered to my injured hand and for a moment, I saw his eyes change slightly to red. But it only happened for a brief moment before his eyes went back to their normal grey making me wonder if It even happened.
“Take her to my room,” he said, and two guys came out of nowhere.
“Yes, Alpha.”
My eyes shrank when I saw them coming my way, “Stop! I’ll kill you if you come any closer,” I brought out the knife and pointed it at them.
They sneered and kept coming.
I started panicking, “I’m serious, don’t come closer.”
In no time, they arrived at my side, took the knife, and dragged me away.
“No! You can’t do this! You can’t kidnap me! Somebody help me!” I screamed to no avail.
The guy locked me in their boss room which was much more spacious than the last one. It seems to have everything in it. Couch, refrigerator, kitchen, bedroom… Like an apartment on its own.
I didn’t get the chance to take in everything since the door opened, revealing him. The Alpha!
