Dalton's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze intense. "My name is Dalton," he rumbled, his deep voice sending shivers down my spine. I swallowed hard, trying to process the surreal situation. "Can I go home now?" I asked, attempting to sound calm. Dalton's expression remained unreadable, but his voice took on a sharper tone. "I saved your life, girl. You were being stalked by a predator. If I hadn't intervened, you'd be dead." His words sent a chill through me. What predator? How did he save me? Dalton's eyes glinted in the moonlight. "You owe me, girl. And I always collect my debts." Emily's life was turned upside down when she got lost in the woods after a party. Severely hurt and disoriented, she collided with a mysterious creature – a werewolf. Dalton, the beast, offered to help her heal in exchange for paying off her debt. As Emily navigates the woods with a stranger who can turn into a human and a wolf, she must confront her fears and the secrets that bind them. Will she find a way to escape, or will she succumb to the beast's allure?
Chapter 1 1
I lost myself in the pulsating rhythm, my hips swaying seductively to the beat. The club was alive, the air electric with the collective energy of the crowd. My friends and I were dancing together, our laughter and cheers mingling with the music.
We were having the time of our lives, spraying money and popping champagne like we were celebrities. The DJ was spinning a sick track, and I couldn't help but twerk, shaking my ass and whining my hips to the beat. My friends were cheering me on, egging me to go harder, and I obliged, letting the music consume me.
The crowd around us was going wild, with people screaming and waving their hands in the air. The strobing lights and fog machines added to the surreal atmosphere, making it feel like we were in our own little world. My friends and I were living our best lives, and nothing could bring us down.
We danced for hours, our feet aching and our voices hoarse from screaming, but we didn't care. We were too busy having the time of our lives, creating memories that would last a lifetime. And I was grateful to be surrounded by such amazing friends, who knew how to live life to the fullest.
I spun around, my hips swaying to the beat, when I noticed Viola stumbling around the dance floor. She was clearly drunk, and my friends and I exchanged worried glances. We quickly rushed to her side, laughing and joking to keep the mood light.
"Girl, I think you've had a bit too much to drink!" I teased, trying to help Viola stay upright. My friends and I managed to steer her towards the exit, but not before she tried to do a few more dance moves, much to our amusement.
Just then, my phone started buzzing in my pocket. I pulled it out, but the screen was blurry, and I couldn't make out who was calling. I shrugged and tucked the phone back into my pocket, deciding to deal with it later.
The music was getting louder, and the crowd was getting more rowdy. I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned to see Cole, my cute boyfriend I'd met earlier in the last night I was here, smiling at me. "Want to dance with me?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with flirtation.
I grinned, feeling a rush of excitement. "Definitely," I replied, taking his hand. We spun onto the dance floor, our bodies moving in sync as we lost ourselves in the music. Cole's hands were roaming over my body, sending shivers down my spine. We were kissing, our lips locked in a passionate embrace, when I realized that this clubbing night was turning out to be way more exciting than I'd anticipated.
I tried to pull away, laughing, "I need to do something real quick," I said, but Cole was persistent. He drew me back in, his lips crashing against mine in a passionate kiss. I felt a rush of excitement, my body responding to his touch. We were lost in the moment, the music and lights of the club fading into the background.
I was enjoying myself, the feel of Cole's hands on my skin, the way he was kissing me. It was like nothing else mattered, and for a moment, I forgot about everything else. No one could stop me, no one could tell me what to do. I was in control, and I was loving every minute of it.
I glanced around, seeing that my girls were also enjoying themselves. They were all coupled up with their various boyfriends, laughing and dancing together. The atmosphere was electric, the energy of the club pulsating through every molecule. I felt alive, free, and unstoppable.
Cole's hands were roaming over my body, sending shivers down my spine. I was melting into his touch, my body responding to his every move. We were in our own little world, a world of music, lights, and passion. And I never wanted it to end.
I was having the time of my life, lost in the music and the moment, when suddenly I felt a pressing sensation. I tried to ignore it, but it only grew stronger. I needed to pee, and I needed to pee now.
I turned to Cole, "I need to pee," I said, trying to convey the urgency of the situation. Cole nodded, "Okay, I'll wait here," he said, smiling. But when I made my way to the toilet, I was confronted with a long line of people waiting to use the facilities. And to make matters worse, the line was moving at a glacial pace.
I shifted my weight from one foot to the other, trying to hold it in. But it was no use. I couldn't wait any longer. I glanced around, looking for an alternative solution. That's when I spotted the exit sign. I decided to take matters into my own hands and venture out into the night to find a more... secluded area.
I pushed my way through the crowds, the cool night air hitting me like a slap in the face. I looked around, trying to get my bearings. The club was located in a deserted alleyway, and the only light came from the faint glow of the streetlights. I spotted a dark alleyway to my left and decided to make my way towards it.
I squatted down behind a bush, the cool night air enveloping me. I quickly did my business, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. I stood up, adjusting my clothes, and began to make my way back to the club. But then, I saw it. A pair of glowing red eyes staring back at me from the darkness.
My heart skipped a beat as I let out a blood-curdling scream. My phone slipped from my fingers, falling to the ground with a soft thud. I didn't even think about picking it up. I just turned and ran. My feet pounded against the earth, the only sound being my ragged breathing and the rustling of leaves beneath my feet.
But then, I heard it. The sound of whatever was behind me, pursuing me through the forest. My heart was racing, my mind consumed by fear. I didn't dare look back, fearing what I might see. I just kept running, my legs pumping furiously. But in my panic, I realized I was running deeper into the forest, not towards the exit. I was completely alone, with no phone and no way to call for help.
