Monster's mate

Part IV

                                                                          - All I remember is you. -

Should I be scared. Yes. The fear came crawling in my bones, infecting my every cell, body and mind. Was it the fear of dying? No. I was prepared for that. It was the fear of unknown. I thought I had it all figured out.

 Why does he want us all dead? What is he searching for, If not mate? Is he even searching for anything at all? Maybe we are all just pointless kills to satisfy his hunger for blood. Why did we all assume, he wanted to find a mate? Does it even matter? I am dead either way. Girl, get a grip. 

They walked us through another door and yet another huge hallway which was lifeless as the hallway before that one. I looked at Sara but this time she didn't return the stare. She was petrified. Maybe she was hoping to be his mate but now even, If she happens to be, It will not matter. He is deranged. It will not affect him and it will not change her destiny.  

Oksana was barely walking, leaning into two other girls that helped her to keep moving. Her face was sweating and her hand was pressed against her mouth to stop the pain. I felt sorry for her. 

"You can go no." The alpha with black long hair told the old lady whom I forgot was there. She gave him nervous look and looked at us girls. 

"Simon will show you out." The black haired alpha ignored her obvious discomfort. The third alpha which I assume was Simon moved closer to old lady and gave her a sign to move. She looked at us with one last look as, If to say goodbye and obediently followed Simon who led the way. 

Another door opened and this time we entered huge room. It was lifeless and magnificently scary. My head start hurting as sudden flashback entered my mind. 

"You took my barbie doll. Give it back!" I cried out with high pitched voice, while running through the room, trying to catch the smiling boy. He was like a ray of sunshine. Moving away from my small figure, fast and carefree. 

"I will, if you tell me you need me." His voice was familiar and pleasant to my ears. 

"I don´t need you Roy! I need my doll! " I hissed irritated.

"I will make you need me." His face was still smiling but his tone changed into darker shade of black. 

"Line up into a straight line." The rough and intimidated voice pulled me back to reality. It belonged to the same black haired alpha. I looked around us. Only then did I noticed the men who was tied up in the corner of the large room. He looked exhausted and tortured. Sara gasped and I saw she also noticed the men in the corner of the room. Fear colored her gorgeous eyes and panic deformer her facial expression. With the hand she muffled screams escaping her throat. Does she know the men?

"He is my father." She mumbled. 

"Sara, you need to pull yourself together. Act like you don´t recognize him." I whispered but she heard me. 

Something told me that somehow this was all connected and it is better, If they don´t find out about the connection between Sara and tortured men.  

I could hear whispers from other girls concerning the absence of mysterious monster- butcher. Clearly they didn't understood, like me and Sara, that he was not looking for the mate. There was no reason whatsoever why he would honored us with his presence. 

"You didn't come here to meet the master." The alpha who ripped Oksana´s tongue spoke up and muffled girls voices. For the first time panic showed on their pale faces. Hope was gone. 

"I want each of you to stand couple of meters away from each other." He spoke again with his intimidating voice, which I began to hate. 

How dare he! Giving Me orders!  Here comes again mine unexplained feeling of superiority above everyone else. Above him- the alpha. Either I am going mad or this place is a bad influence. 

Finally, we lined like chickens ready to be shot. Only then did the black haired alpha approach first girl in the line. My curiosity got better of me and I peaked to see what's happening. She was shivering and he was smelling her. What the f**k. Then he moved to the next one, smelling her too. Her hair, skin, clothes. Why was he smelling us?  He was getting near the end of the line and I could see his frustration rose. 

"Ivan, none of them is matching the pig." He said disappointed as, if he was expecting win win this time. He looked over to the other alpha who was still covered with Oksana´s stained blood. So, Ivan is his name. 

Who is the pig? Was he referring to the tied man at the corner of the room? Are they trying to find someone related to him? Are they looking for Sara? 

"Finish the line. I was positive I caught her smell earlier." Ivan ordered and black haired guy continued his search. Then he approached me. He didn't look at my face. Hurriedly, he start smelling me. First he smelled my long brown hair then he smelled my face. He moved to smelling my armpits and neck. He showed great disinterest as he moved to the next girl. Sara. I guess there was nothing interesting to smell on me. I guess I am not that special after all. But Sara is. 

He didn't even properly close distance between himself and Sara when his nostrils widened and his eyes lighted up. For a second he hesitated, observing her face and then he approached her. With closed eyes he start smelling her hair when his lips formed a smile. 

"She is wearing skin cream which makes it harder to tell and her smell is not strong one, easy to miss,  but I am almost positive." With those words he took another sniff at her face, "Yes, I am positive. She is the pig´s daughter." 

Ivan stepped closer to Sara and black haired guy submissively moved aside letting him take a lead. He looked amused at the sight of Sara. 

"We searched for you for very, very long time. Do you know who you are?"  Sara raised her head along with her curly hair, "Sara." Ivan laughed. 

"Not your name stupid." He mockingly stated and lightly touched her chin. "Tell the master we found the daughter of a men who raped his sister." He said to someone behind while not removing eyes from the Sara.

Rape. That word again. My head start hurting again. Now I understand. Sara is the reason we are brought here and she is the reason why so many girls before today had to die. All this time, he was not searching for his mate. He was searching for a daughter of someone who inflicted him great pain. He killed not for love but a revenge. 

"Before he kills you , master planned hundred different ways for you to know pain, Sara. It was what kept him going." Ivan said with unreadable face expression but his voice gave him up. He was enjoying this. 

Suddenly the room became darker, voices stopped and air weighted much more. It was as, If someone sucked the air out of my lungs and before door opened I looked in their direction. My heart beat raised and my eyes widened. I could feel him coming. I could feel his darkness. Then, suddenly, without warning or preparation, door opened.
