Anaya’s P.O.V.
I quickly ran towards the front door. My heart was racing with fear. I couldn't sense any footsteps behind me, but still I couldn't risk looking back. As the door swung open, my heart sank - it was the bathroom door. Without hesitation, I darted to the other side of the room.
I heard his voice behind me, he was still singing. Was he a psycho?
I opened the door and before that I ran into the room, I saw him sitting on the couch, smiling. How did he come here? How can he move so fast? This thought made me realize his power. Oh God, where was I stuck?
I shut the door with a loud bang and started looking around, finding the corridor empty except for one door. Clutching the blanket tightly, I ran to the right. The long path ahead demanded every ounce of my courage, but I couldn't bear to face a stranger while dressed like that.
I was panting and trembling as I reached the golden elevator in front of me. I quickly pressed the button, but it required a fingerprint to open. I continued pressing the button in desperation.
"Please... Please," I begged, tightening my grip on the blanket. I pressed the button again, but a touch on my hand sent an electric shock into my being.
“Your time is up, Homeless." His heavy voice echoed behind me. I felt him close to me. His body touched against mine and my legs trembled.
"Please don't. You told me to run away." I pleaded in a weak voice.
“So who told you to stop? Now I have caught you and an Alpha knows what to do with a weak creature.” He turned me towards him and looked at me with his dark piercing eyes. Hearing him, tears streamed down my face, and his smile grew wider. He was enjoying my helplessness.
“What do you want from me?” I asked in a shaky voice.
“I want nothing but punishment. Remember what you did on the road? You slapped me and forgot who was in front. Now you will pay for what you did.” he sneered, tightening his grip on my arm.
“Ahh, it hurts.” I squirmed within his grasp, but his cold fingers remained firm. His deep eyes were fixed on my body.
“Beg me.” He suddenly ordered.
“What?” I was taken aback, what he said.
“Beg me for forgiveness by looking into my eyes.” I raised my face and looked into his face. His eyes were shining, changing color continuously. How was he doing that? It made me shocked and freeze. I have never heard of it. Once his eyes changed into a honey color, my head began to spin. I shifted my gaze immediately.
“Don’t try to deny it. You know I can make you a puppet. I can force you to do what I said, but I don’t want to use my power. I want to enjoy your helplessness. Look into my eyes and start obeying.”
“What if I don’t?” For the first time, I said in a strong voice. I was alone, weak and helpless. What was the purpose of this life? My parents were killed. What could be worse than that?
At my response, his eyes brimmed with fury, shifted to a crimson hue, and a yellow streak emerged.
He seized my arm and began dragging me. I fought back, but his strength was overwhelming. In an instant, he stopped and seized my neck.
"You belong to me now. You are my property. Forget about fighting for your freedom; if you attempt to escape again, I'll make your life a living hell. Now it is the time to show your obedience." he hissed, increasing the pressure on my neck. He locked eyes on me, his tone bordering on madness, causing my breath to catch in my throat.
In a feeble attempt to free myself from his grip, I felt my weakness. He studied me from head to toe with an emotionless gaze. Suddenly, he released my neck and pushed me onto his shoulders.
"Someone, please, help me!" I desperately kicked my legs and made a feeble attempt to defend myself. Ignoring me, he entered the room without leaving any impression, and with a resounding thud, I was thrown onto the bed.
I forgot my pain and started crawling back, scared as I thought of his next action. With a jerk, he held my arm, tied it with his belt and stuck it in the bed frame.
"Leave, what are you doing?" I started trying to free my arm. My throat went dry.
He went towards the closet, taking out his other belt, he moved towards me again.
“No, please forgive me.” I said while crying loudly, but he ignored me. He tied my other hand in the same way. I started beating my head helplessly trying to free myself.
"Tonight, you will wake up and look at me so that you will remember who I am and who you belong to. If you dare to close your eyes, even for a mere moment, then whatever will happen to you, I will not be responsible for that, got it!” Touching my jaw, he mumbled in a stern tone.
I looked at him with wet eyes. Dad and Gabriel were right, a monster lives here. This was not my world. One of my protectors was killed and Gabriel, where was he?
“Gabriel, save me.” I closed my eyes and prayed with my bleeding heart. Maybe he will listen to me.
"It seems you want me to do something! I knew you were a virgin. And I love to be your first.” Slurring his words in an inebriated state, his words made me jump. I opened my eyes hurriedly and, without uttering a word, I began gazing at him. His threat made me shiver; I was not able to stop him.
"That's a good girl," he remarked with a smile, taking a seat on the sofa. Now, he fixed his honey-like eyes on me, noticing my every move. I returned his gaze with eyes filled with hatred.
"You'll regret it, Alpha. That's my promise to you!" I said with determination, my eyes locked onto his face with a fierce. He simply responded with a smile.
