The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 45

Emery

It's been hours since anybody has been here and I really need to use the bathroom, so when the door opens and a woman walks in, I sigh in relief. But before I can even ask about relieving myself, she sneers at me. She doesn't say any- thing as she walks back and forth in front of me with a look of disgust plastered to her face. She looks to be about my par- ents age, so I can't say that maybe she's a jealous female. She looks familiar, though, and I realize that I'm staring at the witch's mother.

"So, you're the little bitch that my son has been hot for all these years?" Her words are laced with repugnance as her eyes sweep over me, "I've told him that it isn't natural, that he needs to find someone not of the same blood as that traitor brother of his, but he wouldn't listen. What Colin wants; he al- ways gets. I guess that is my fault, though, for spoiling him as a child."

Did she say years? Has he been lusting after me all this time? My stomach begins to turn once again, but then as she continues to talk, I not only learn my uncle's name, but I caught on to the meaning behind her words. She's not dis- gusted that I'm related by blood, only that I have the same blood as my father, who in the eyes of the Shikari, is a traitor. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

her.

"May I use the bathroom." I ask without even looking at

Her laughter says it all, "Do I look like a fucking servant to you? I'm not here to help you in any way. I only came to see the bitch that will soon be laying on her back, spreading her legs for my son night after night."

"I will never allow that piece of shit to touch me in that way; he's disgusting, and so are you if you are condoning it!" I spat.

Pain spreads across my face as the woman back hands me, "How dare you say that about my son?" She then kicks me in the ribs and continues to kick me until I'm no longer mov- ing, and my bladder releases its contents, "Ugh, you are fuck- ing pathetic! I hope you enjoy sitting in your filth because no- body will be in anytime too soon to help clean you up."

I watch her walk towards the door and I curse her under my breath. I don't know if Kiki will be able to heal me, every- thing is so up in the air over here that I really don't know where to start on my plan to escape either. This witch is pow- erful for sure, but I know me, and my mates are more power- ful. If only I can figure out a way to tune in to the Power of Four in some way.

I don't know what time of day or night it is, but I know that with the full moon upon us, I will stop at nothing to free my- self. I think this to myself as I drift off to sleep still laying on the floor and in pain. Maybe this isn't sleep, though, but the end, I muse, knowing full well that it isn't true, but I smile all the same as darkness takes me.

I open my eyes and right away I realize that something is amiss, I'm no longer in the room that Colin placed me in, and I' m now wearing a violet flowy dress. I'm in a field, by a small
