My Cursed Alpha

Escape from the beast : Part I

I looked at the closed bedroom door, blinking and waiting, waiting for him to open the door and drag me inside again. This time maybe for worse. My whole body shuddered on the thought. I wished I hadn't thought about it, since now I could feel the pain he has inflicted on my body.

My jaw felt dislocated. My mouth was dry. My ribs were hurting like hell. I didn't know where it was aching on my back and the inside of my thighs were still sore from the bleeding earlier.

Everything that had been going between us for all this times was becoming more and more clear. I was only here since I didn't know where I could go. I had no family, my pack was not interested in having me, and because of his restrictions I never had a new friend. I was completely dependent on him. Everyday digging my own grave and falling more and more deeper in that pit of hopelessness, wishing and praying that one day, he would see me for me, he would notice that I am a girl, beautiful from inside and how much I care about him. That's why I had stayed for this long.

But not anymore

My clothes were in a bad condition, my phone was inside the room, no money, no purse on me, but if I stayed another day here, I might not be alive anymore.

One final look at the closed door, and I started gathering the little strength I had in me. Placing my hand on the couch, trying to not think about where all it hurt, I placed my feet on the cold floor.

The little rustling sounds from inside, shook me to the core and I prayed that he should not open the door. A part of me knew he wouldn't. He has made me sleep outside many times now without care. The only difference today was that he had broken my bones, and yet I knew he wouldn't care.

Making my movements quick now, I adjusted my clothes as much as I can. I didn't wish to look at the mirror. For some reasons I hated myself. Maybe I wasn't that beautiful, beautiful enough for him, and that's why he kept me hidden or he would be embarrassed or me, hated myself for staying with him for so long and never talking back.

Placing a small scarf around my neck, I opened the main door as quitely as I can. I didn't wish for him to know.

Even when I could barely move, I dragged one foot behind the other and started leaving. There was more sounds from inside, he might be looking for something . The fear inside my body gave me a little more strength and I made my way outside the house, closing the door behind me, softly as well.

We lived in a secluded place, with no neighbors, no shops nearby, no sight of any single person.

It was dark outside, and for some reason, I wished I was a normal girl who would fear human. But I feared the beast inside the house who could come out for me any moment now.

Looking both side and then back again, I headed for the woods which were behind our house. The only place which could hide me for a while. It was much safer there then walking on an empty road and getting caught easily.

Even though I was wearing a pair of slippers, they were not comfortable to provide me some relief as I started walking in the woods. It was an old pair that I had find outside the house. All the others were inside the room. Since I didn't go outside much, they were always inside the bedroom.

The full moon tonight was guiding my way in the woods. He would have said that the full moon gave him temper, and it wasn't him to be blamed for anything he had done.

Placing one foot after the other, I was pushing my body to the front, not knowing where it was taking me, but I wanted to go away from him.

*Howl*

My head snapped towards the direction from where the loud sounds were coming from.

Was it him? Did he come to know that I have run away and was now chasing me?

Even the mere thought about him coming behind me, sends ripples of fear inside my body. I couldn't get caught. It would be worse than it has been. He has hit me a couple of times now, and I have seen him hold back his temper, but this time, I didn't know what he would do.

As the sounds were getting more and more louder, I knew they were coming closer to me.

I took a deep breath and started running, running as fast as I could. With the broken bones, and the pain that was making it more and more difficult for me.

'Just a little more...A little more...the pain is not worth getting caught by him'

I repeated it to myself again and again. I could bear the soreness of my body for sometime, till I find a proper place to hide, but I shouldn't get caught.

The rush from the fear deep settled in me, gave me more power.

I turned back again, to get an idea of how far they were from me, but what I saw just made me halt in my steps.

It wasn't him.

There was an old lady who was running in my direction. She looked like she was in her late 50s. The grey hair opened and was sweaty. Just like me, she looked fragile, out of breath, running, panting.

For a little bit of time, I didn't know what should I do. It was clear that something was coming in our direction, but I didn't know what it was. It could be him or it could be something else which has scared this old lady.

I shook my head and started running towards her. I could visibily see her saying no, telling me to keep running, or something similar. But it was tough to understand.

'What is it?' I asked her, but she was frozen all of a sudden. I had completely forgotten how must I be looking to her. My jaw was still hurting and I probably would have said something not understandable by her. I quickly covered by face with a scarf around my neck, and glanced behind her again.

'You...you shouldn't have stopped, dear'

This time it became much more clear to me what she was running away from.
