Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 205

ROSE

I am so tired. It is slowly getting dark, and I have walked for about fifteen hours today. I hope Santo Stefano isn’t far away anymore. All day long, I’ve felt the pull line if whatever or whoever it is is following me, but I never see anyone.

Suddenly, I saw a light in the distance in front of me, a light that could only come from a town.

“Yes!” I say to myself and speed up my walk.

I see a sign saying Santo Stefano, and I am so relieved that I am here. I am beginning to look for a hotel where I can sleep. I am so tired and exhausted that I get so engrossed in finding a hotel that I don’t notice the three young men following me.

I took a turn down a street, and too late, I found out that this street was more like an alley with only one way in and out, the way I came from. So I turned around, and that is when I saw the three men standing in the middle of where I just came from. I could see them talking and looking at me, then laughing.

“Hello, sweetheart. I don’t think you are from here,” one of them says, and I shake my head.

“Hello, no, I am a tourist just passing through,” I say, trying to sound calm.

“You smell like a wolf.” Another say.

“That is because I am. If you could please let me through, I’m looking for a hotel,” I say. They look at each other.

“Sure thing, love.” The first one says and they move a little.

“Thank you,” I say and carefully start walking past them.

But then one of them grabs my arm.

“Why don’t you come and sleep at our place?” The first one asks.

“It is very kind, but I would rather not,” I say, freeing my arm.

He grabbed me so fast I didn’t see it, and the next thing I knew, I was pushed against the stone wall, and the two others pulled off my bag and hold my arms.

“Let me go. I have permission from your Alpha to travel here safely.” I say.

“But he isn’t here,” the guy to my fight says, and they laugh. The first one lets a Claw out, and cuts open my top. I had taken my hoodie off earlier today.

“So perfect,” he growls and starts touching my breasts.

“Please stop,” I whisper in a panic. Then I feel him smell my neck, and I freeze.
