Brella POV
It's been three weeks since I left home. I was now staying in New York at my Aunt Mandy and her mates apartment until I get my own. They helped me get a job as a secretary at a fashion magazine so I could help her pay the rent. I haven't contact my parents yet, the work had me so busy most nights that I would always reach home late and most of my free time is used to rest in recovery.
Today was no different than the other days. It was 11 o'clock pm, I had just finished work and was heading home.
“Hey Brella, do you need a ride home?” James one of my coworkers asked. We became friends on the first day of work and he helps me get accustomed to my job.
“I'm ok James I only live two blocks from here, thanks for the offer though” I said offering him a smile. “Plus I was going to grab something to eat first,” I added.
“Well, I can come with you.” He said looking hopeful. Even though we're friends I suspect James wanted more than to just be friends. He’s been trying to get the chance to be alone with me.
I quickly said no and saw his face fall and I immediately felt bad for him. James is cute with his dark hair and brown eyes but I'm just not ready for a relationship. I’m not even sure if I can date with my mate on my mind. Even though he rejected me I still long for him. I blame the mate bond.
“Well next time, Bree.” He said quickly turning his crest fallen face into a smile, then speeds off. I just stand there watching his car disappear into the night. Shaking my head I walk into my favourite dinner. I was craving chocolate cake and a burger, so I order those along with a box of chinese food. This baby was making me eat like crazy but I usually try to watch myself. Tonight was an exception because of how stressful of a workday it was. I only really ate breakfast and a chocolate bar for lunch anyways so I was long overdue for some good food.
After receiving and paying for my stuff, I headed in the direction of home. My senses are on high alert because I couldn't help but feel like someone is watching me. As I walk down the lonely street, i can’t help but think about how it is normally packed with people but tonight it's deserted. I didn't like this one bit. It reminded me of those movies when the person is alone and then out of no were the bad guy comes out. I quicken my pace wanting to hurry and reach home.
"Why so in a hurry, princess?" A voice from in an alley suddenly asks making me freeze in my tracks. I then saw a guy emerge from out of the shadow of the alley he looks well built and has a scar under his left eye. I felt the hair on my back stand up as he eyed me closely, this guy felt dangerous."Don't you know it's dangerous to walk the streets alone at night?" he asks his eyes scanning me.
Taking a deep breath I realize he's a werewolf and I quickly let out a growl. My wolf was screaming must protect pup, I agree with her that if anything happens to my baby I would never forgive myself and this guy felt way too dangerous. If he was a human it would be easy to shake him. This is really bad.
"Now there's no reason to be rude, let's have a little fun," he said not even affected by my growl. I know I can’t fight him; he's too big and I didn't want to risk harming my baby. so I did the noblest thing any girl would do. I ran for my freaking life and most importantly for the life of my child. The apartment was only a block now. If I can just make it there I would be safe.
All hopes of making it there vanish when I feel my left hand being yanked back making me stumble. I almost fell but I managed to keep standing.
"If you don't let me go, I'll scream." I threaten, trying to break loose from his grip. It is too tight.
In one swift move, we were in the alley and my head was lashed against a wall, my head starts spinning as blood slowly drips down my neck." If you so as much whimper, I'll break your little neck." he threatens and I felt the fear crept in me as a chill ran down my spine. His voice sounds so menacing and laced with threats, I dare not scream.
His one hand pinned me against the wall while his other starts to roam my body from my breast to my most sensitive spot. My heart picks up speed as i then register what he intends to do. A new fear creeps in me as I start struggling to get free only to have him tighten his grip.
"Please don't, I'm pregnant," I begged tears starting to come.
"Don't worry; this won't hurt your baby." He said raising my skirt. I then heard the sound of a zipper being pulled down and I felt all the blood drained from my face.
I close my eyes blaming myself for this. I would have never been in this mess if I had stayed home and not go that damn party, or if I hadn’t left home.
Suddenly I felt the grip on my hands no longer there. I open my eyes to see the guy on the ground knocked out and a guy standing beside him. Everything happened so fast I couldn’t grasp it. My legs were shaking and my head was spinning. I could feel myself growing weaker and weaker from the blood I lost. My legs suddenly give out but before I could reach the ground a pair of strong arms catch me.
"Hey, are you alright." A male voice asks me.
"Hmmm mm," I mutter then everything went black.
