Lily's POV~
"Clip! Clop! Clip! Clop!" I heard footsteps approaching my room, breaking the ambient silence.
"Could it be him?" I thought.
Then the footsteps suddenly stopped, inaugurating a heavy eerie silence. It just had to be him. I could feel it in my gut.
If I was gonna escape this place, it had to be now.
Suddenly the sound of the cell door unlocking, dispelled the ambient silence. On hearing the sound of the door unlock, I laid back down on the bed and while feigning sleep, quickly began to unlock the chains. The door opened and the click sound of a switch on the wall immediately heralded the entrance of light into the room via a chanderlier, decorated with colorful glass, dangling off the ceiling.
The room finally illuminated, I opened my left eye a little bit and took sneak peek. And yup, it was none other than Dean....Dean Ashburn. Shutting my eyes again, I just barely managed to hold back my rage as I unlocked the chains. Honestly, I had never really liked him before now, but at this point what could have been written off then as non-interest had now evolved and graduated into intense disdain, and for good reason too. He f*cking abducted me!
"Hello Lily" his rich baritone resonated through the room as he took a seat on the chair in the corner. Filled with rage and biding my time, I decided not to answer.
"Yeah, I know, I know. I really didn't plan that we should meet this way too but....hmph.... circumstances" he says with a shrug. Still I remained silent.
"You still won't talk?" He asked as he got up and slowly walked up to me. On hearing his footsteps approaching the bed, I quickly shut my eyelids, clenching my hand around the hilt of the knife under the sheets. Walking towards me, he had no idea that I had a knife. I had gotten the knife about an hour ago when someone came to give me some food. I really couldn't believe how dumb they were to give me a knife as a utensil.
"I know you probably don't wanna see me or anything but....."
This was my chance.
"Slash!" I launched out at him, a thin cut appearing on his white shirt, as blood quickly seeped out. Realizing I hadn't done any real damaged, I lauched out yet again at him with the knife, this time intending a stab. His eyes widened in shock and by pure reflex, he dodged the attack.
"You jerk!" I yelled at him as launched another stab attack.
I knew my only chance of survival was to strike him by surprise. There was obviously no way I could face him in a fight. He's the strongest wolf in the pack!
He soon caught up with my pace and being faster and stronger, he dashed behind me. I knew it wouldn't end well from this point. Desperately, I tried to take a swing at him, but he held my wrist from behind and held my other arm behind me.
What in the world was I going to do ?
"Let go of me!" I yelled as I tried to wriggle myself free from his grip. He chuckled slightly and whispered in my ear
"I don't think you're in any position to scream after attempting to kill me. I wonder what will happen when the pack hears of this"
My eyes widened in shock as I realized the gravity of what I had done. I had attempted to kill the Alpha. That's high treason!
Knowing the penalty for such a crime, I began to cry, at least in a bid to solicit his pity.
"Come on Lily, why are you crying?" He asked in a gentle voice as he loosened his grip, "You're the one who attacked me and for good reason too. But I don't want you to feel unsafe around me, alright? We're supposed to be mates" he said as he let go of me.
"I don't want to" I said in annoyance, "Did you ever ask for my opinion before you abducted me?" I asked angrily as tears began to well up in my eyes.
"No, but I...."
"I refuse" I interjected, "I refuse to be your mate. So get out of my way" I said as I shoved him aside and began to walk towards the door.
Just as I was about extending my hand to reach for the door knob, he grabbed me from behind, wrapped his arm around my neck.
"Let go of me, you jerk!" I yelled as I used my elbow to hit him in the midsection. He groaned in pain before tossing me on the bed.
