The Alphas Precious Little Gem

Daisy’s POV

Checking the time on my wristwatch, I sighed when I realized that it was just 6PM. I got off the couch and started getting ready for the new job.

I needed everything I could lay my hands on and this wasn’t just anything, the pay is decent, even more than enough to pay for my father’s medical bills which was what I needed the money for in the first place.

“It’s just a job, Daisy, you can do it.” I said to myself as I got out of the house. Everywhere was pitch dark and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared or nervous.

What if I got rejected? What if they found someone else to fill that position?

Sighing, I shoved all the intrusive thoughts to the back of my mind before filling it up with the thought of my father and how this was supposed to help assist my father.

I just can’t wait to see him hale and hearty.

The street was filled up with people whose main jobs were to work at night and ignoring the catcalls from the men I came across, I flagged down a taxi and got in.

The road the driver took was foreign to me and it wasn’t until the cab stopped that I realized where I was going wasn't a house but a warehouse.

It looked creepy, clearly abandoned and a tingling sixth sense kept telling me to turn back and run. The cab was still there and it wasn’t too late for me to ask the driver to take me back to where he’d picked me up from.

While the urge to turn back and run was strong, the curiosity to go in the warehouse and check what was going on in there was stronger. So, shoving my dark thoughts to the deepest, darkest part of my mind, I paid the man and waved him off.

What is this place? Why was the address sent to me?

I took steps closer and with each one I took, my chest tightened, my breathing decreased and it felt as though I’d completely forgotten how to breathe.

Holding my breath and closing my eyes, I managed to get to the entrance and a voice in my head reminded me that it still wasn’t too late to sprint back home.

    ‘It’s just a job, Daisy. Instead of dying doing something you have no idea about, turn back and leave or you’d never have the chance to help your father.’ The voice was insistent and it grew louder as I made my way in.

Shaking my head, I knew they were my fear speaking for me. So what if it looks creepy? So what if the pay’s suspicious? 10 thousand dollars isn’t something that I’m willing to let go of just like that.

If the worst comes to worse, I have my phone, I’d call for help but I felt like nothing could go wrong. Taking in a deep breath, I stepped in and as soon as that happened I felt a strong arm on my shoulder.

Fuck!

I looked around but there was nowhere else to run, I was surrounded by masked men and the way I came in from was blocked already. Garnering the strength I had left in me, I put up a fight but I was no match for them.

This is what happens when you get curious. This is what happens when you don’t listen to that voice in your head that keeps warning you against making a decision.

Breathing heavily, my chest heaved and I knew fighting even harder was useless, I was overpowered already. Before I knew what was going on, before I could even blink, one of the men had lifted me on his shoulder.

“Let me go!” I screamed at the top of my lungs in hopes that a saviour would be nearby but no one came, I should’ve known that something like this was bound to happen.

No one should be willing to pay that much for menial jobs.

“I have my—“ I hadn't finished speaking when another knocked my phone right out of my hand. Another stupid move! I see enough movies to know that you should never announce your move, how did I get this stupid.

The man carrying me finally came to a halt and just when I thought the worst was over, just when I was expecting a huge man to show up in front of me like I always saw in those movies, my eyes opened to an even darker horror.
