An Arranged Marriage to the Alpha King

chapter 12

Reactions can come into two different forms.

A.) You can handle them calmly and effectively

Or

B.) You can completely go haywire and completely loose yourself in the moment.

Now as a child of an alpha We're taught from the beginning to handle situations in a calm orderly manor. But as you can see I haven't had a great day so far. So I went with option B.

Present time

When I hear the news of Lucas' betrayal I start screaming at the top of my Lungs. My wolf urges me to spill blood but, I remind her that would get us nowhere.

After a while I stop screaming from my voice becoming hoarse from the screaming. Then my dying screams turn into trembling little wails of discomfort. Looking up and realizing I wasn't alone in the room, I hurriedly rush out of the room witness my dress trailing behind me and guards following suit. Now that my fathers in the hospital my mother thought it best to have guards shadow me. while running my breathing begins to deepen and I start to wheeze.

I begin to say to myself, ' If I can just get out past the hospital doors I'll be home free. You can have a panic attack later. Not now you need to get of here first. Just keep pushing yourself to go faster.' While I keep chanting these words to keep myself motivated, I turn my head around and see that the guards are beginning to fall back behind. Once my foot hits the last step on the last stairway, I decide it would be best if I were to walk out the hospital normally so I wouldn't draw any attention to myself during the escape.

When I walk the last few yards my breathing starts become shallow again. As I near the door sorrow starts to envelop me. Capturing my entire being as if I were plummeting into an ocean full of quicksand. After exiting the hospital I round the corner while sprinting to the nearest bush and began to heave my breakfast into the shrubs.

Once I finish emptying the contents of my stomach I wipe my mouth and sit on the ground, then fell back looking towards the sky. Exhaustion starts sweeping over me, and it becomes harder and harder for me to keep my eyes open. while I'm struggling to fight my closing eyes a question plagues my mind . ' Was I drugged so I could fall asleep? ' When my body finally gave up trying to stay awake I saw a figure hovering over my head holding a black ski mask reaching for my head.

Then

There was darkness.

*******

At first I felt numb. Then I became aware of every inch of my body. With every second I became more aware of my body the intensity of white flames spread. I came to the realization that it would be best if I were to keep my eyes closed to prolong my kidnappers from realizing that I'm awake. I was trained in these types of situations to always keep the upper hand and stay level-headed until I found a way to escape. Since I couldn't open my eyes to take in my surroundings, my mind slowly adjusted to where I only focused on hearing what surrounded me.

Ping .Ping.Ping

It sounds like water droplet's .

I'm near a water source or there's leaky pipes, or leaky roof.

Unable to fight the exhaustion that creeps up on me, I begin to drift off into the unknown. I became to tired to care that footsteps were quietly approaching me on my right.

The next time I come to I wake up with a jolt. Almost as if I were waking up from a nightmare, but not quite. Then I opened my eyes expecting to see no one there, but I was sadly mistaken. There, right before my eyes, was someone who I never would have expected to betray me, THROUGOUT ALL my life.

There smirking at me, while I, sat gawking at him was none other than Ethan. The one guy who I trusted the most. a vital person in my life. An older brother figure in my life. The one who single handedly helped me through the roughest patch in my life. Who pulled me back from death's welcoming, cold embrace. If my life was a movie right now, this would definitely be the plot twist the protagonist didn't see coming.

"Why Ethan?"

'That's all I want to know, did you even care about my feelings back then? Do you even care about them now? Who are you even working for?' Millions of unanswered questions swarmed around my head like a buzzing beehive filled with bumblebees.

Back around the time before the accident and the events leading up to it, I had a small crush on Ethan. I think it was mainly because we spent so much time together, being that his dad is the Beta after all. But after the accident, I realized it was more of admiration than anything. Then I decided I thought of him more of a brother than anything. It would be too weird to see him as anything more than a brother.

"Monique look, calm down its not even what you think. Its not my place to tell you why you're here." Ethan finished off with a sympathetic look in his eyes.

"Well then what can you explain to me huh? Were you the one that captured me while I was running for my life out the hospital?" I began to release my anger out on him with a every sentence I huffed out.

 "Did you take me knowing full well I was scared, and on the verge of having a mental break down because I can't seem to anything right in my life. Because for the first time after recovering from the incident I'm feeling as if there is no point to even trying to live anymore my mate obviously doesn't want to have anything to do with me. Maybe he was right all along I'll never amount up to anything . I'm just like her weak, useless, and unimpor-."   Before I was given a chance to finish pouring my feelings out to him, a tall shadow like figure burst into the room while effectively shutting me up in the process.

Trembling from the sudden movement from the door I hadn't even realized my eyes were closed till he spoke," Open your eyes while I'm speaking to you, and listen well because I'm not repeating myself after this."  He began to pause as if he had forgotten something," Oh and look me in the eyes when I speak to you I don't like it when people try to avoid my eye contact with them."  As I slowly obeyed his command and made eye contact my repressed wolf suddenly became very restless. since I was in the corner of the dark room it made it next to impossible to see what the man looked like.

"Anyways enough about that on to the important matter at hand." He turned to look at Ethan before he looked back to me, and nodded his head at my hands then focused back on his conversation. "Hand me the knife Ethan."

 As he said this Ethan became a little angered by what he said and started to question him. "What do you mean hand me the knife, I thought you agreed not to kill her ?" At this the stranger had started to grow tired of Ethan's pestering. this is when it finally dawned on me I should too be worried of that man receiving the knife, event though Ethan said he wouldn't harm me, his vows of protection did not stand the same for this stranger. Then I realized I wasn't ready to die, even after telling Ethan otherwise. With this sudden realization I began to thrash around in the chair. desperate to fight for my survival. 

"Shut up and me the knife."
