Mated To My Husband's Stepbrother

Haylina POV

I slammed my head on the door and muttered curses underneath my breath. My eyes were blurry but my mind was sharp.

I need to get out of here, I keep reminding myself.

I summoned all the courage and got up from the floor and pulled the door open, making my way out of the room.

I walked through the hallway, silently and praying no one should be awake to notice my movement.

When I finally made it to the gate, several light beams in my direction and the siren went off. I forcefully I settled the key into the padlock that had been used on the gate and managed to get out of the door.

"Stop where you are!" I heard the voice of some men and increased my pace, not wanting any of them to catch up with me.

I turned down the left side of the road, hoping to have managed to get them off my scent, but I was wrong.

Strong arms grabbed me and when I turned to look up, I was staring at him with the evil smile on his face.

"Where do you think you are going huh? I have not even started with you."

"Let me go please." I begged, but his grip on my arm remained strong.

"Let her go or I will knock your teeth down your throat." We both turned around and a huge man stood across the shadows, staring in our direction.

"And who are you to tell me what to do with my subject?" From behind my attacker, his men walked forward to join him. "You should be more concerned about your safety."

We heard a large growl and within seconds, his men were wiped out. He let go of me as they fought each other intensely.

Although my vision could be blurry, there was something about the man saving my life that was appealing, but could not place a name to it..

I gasped as he snapped the neck of my abductor and threw him to the side.

The moon light chose to let its rays out in that moment and I realized I was standing in the presence of Alpha Rasmus, the leader of Autumns Pack.

He stepped forward and held my hand, and a jolt of electricity was created and in that moment we both knew destiny had taken place.

I felt weak as the drug they had given to me, took further effect and dropped into his arms feeling calm in his scent.

I was in the arms of my mate.

He held my chin and raised my eyes to look at him and captured my lips in a thrilling kiss. I responded as well, my hands moving up to his hair.

All I wanted was to be lost in his arms at that moment and although my thoughts had slowly drifted away, I was relaxed in his arms.

My eyes flung open and I realized I was in a room. I turned to the other side of the bed and found Alpha by my side, sleeping peacefully.

As the dawn begins to slowly come up, I could see the beautiful features in his face. I reached out to touch him, but realized quickly things would never go well with the both of us.

I looked down at the sheets and memories of what transpired last night began to play on my head. After we left the bloody scene, he had carried me in his car to this place. I remembered not letting him go after he wanted to leave.

I mentally smacked myself seeing that I could not control my urge. I could not imagine what would happen if my father finds out about this.

I made my way out of the bed and quickly changed into my clothes; I did not want him to see my face and although it hurts not to be in the arms of my one and only true mate, I cannot risk my life going for it.

When I arrived at my apartment, I stepped into the living room and froze, seeing my father and my future husband Jason seated in the living room.

"And where are you coming from?" He asked, the moment I tried to walk past them.

"Went out with a friend." I said anxiously and slowly moved my eyes away from both of them, due to my anxiety.

"I can clearly see you had a good time." Jason added sarcastically.

My father rose from his seat and in split seconds he slammed me to the wall, grabbing my neck and staring deep into my eye.

"I warned you what would happen if you dare try to disobey me. How dare you go out for a party without informing me?"

I tried pulling his hands away from my neck, but he was so strong and noticeable his wolf was speaking and no longer him.

"Father please, you are killing me..." I managed to speak.

"It's alright Mr. Hunter, I don't want to have a dead woman as a wife." Jason's voice seemed to have been the only thing to calm him down.

As soon as he let go of his hands, he walked out of the living room.

I covered my face and cried, realizing the humiliation I was being subjected to in the hands of this monster.

"Your father is a good man and I would suggest you learn to obey him. I cannot see you facing these problems all the time. Everything he is doing is for your sake and I hope that you find out very soon."

I looked up at Jason and all I felt was anger in that moment.

It was because of him that I am being treated like a slave. My father maybe greedy, but his greed started because Jason came into our lives.

"My entire council will be at the wedding tomorrow. I suggest you don't mess this wedding up." He warned, before moving away.

I stared at the door that he had closed behind, with the knowing look that my life was about to become more miserable in the coming days.
