Crushed By My Mate novel Chapter 2

"Hello mister," I spoke politely. He has trained me about this. He has made it very crucial for me to be polite because that would usually spark their interest.

"My, she is a fine one. No wonder why she's the highest priced out of the bunch. Such a beauty," the man circled around me, looking at me as if I was some kind of meat. "Unfortunately, I have some business to take care of. I will be picking you up tonight. Take care of your little figure now, darling. I don't want to deal with damaged goods." Too late for that, I wanted to scream out. I merely nodded and watched as he gave a slight nod to my Alpha and left.

"You little wench," he screamed as he pulled my hair roughly. "How many times do I have to tell you that you are not allowed to eat anything other than what is served to you? I will repeat this for the last time; you are to take care of your damn figure. No man would like to touch a pudgy little whore," he threw my door opened and snatched the piece of chocolate cake from the bottom of my bed. "Since you love this so much... And you were tempted enough to disobey me, here," he shoved my head hard onto the plate of cake. The chocolate icing smeared all over my face as the familiar taste of iron made its way into my mouth. The impact has accidently split my lip. Tears began to fill my eyes but I held them back. His beatings will only get worse if I do. "Look at what you made me do! Clean yourself up, disgusting little harlot. You're lucky you have a customer tonight or else the punishment would've been worse." He took one last look at me and left.

I slipped into the bathroom and washed my caked face. I winced as I touched my busted lip. Slowly, it started to heal. I let out a breath of relief, thankful for the fact that I was part werewolf. I jumped onto my bed and fell into a slumber full of nightmares. Their predatory stares, their claws digging onto my skin deeply, their eyes full of lust... Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as I jolted up. For a moment, I looked around and listened to any sign of movement. I didn't faint during one of the nights did I? Nope. Hesitantly, I went back to sleep.

A sudden surge of coldness ran through me as icy cold water filled my nose. My eyes immediately opened as my arms flailed around. His laugh filled my room.

"Get ready whore, the customer will be picking you up in a minute or so," with that, he turned and left.

I rummaged through my closet and put on a piece of lacy lingerie under a red dress. 'Always look presentable. The customers pay double if they like what they see,' his voice lectured her through her head. She shook it off and headed towards the living room, waiting to be taken into another night full of hell.

"Ready?" the man's thick voice inquired as he held his hand out for her to take.

"Bring her back all in one piece," was his only reply as he was too occupied with counting his Benjamins.

The man led her into a black car and drove off. She gripped onto the leather chair. "You that eager, mister?" She glanced towards his speedometer, shaking her head in disapproval.

"I wanted to get to a safer place... I'm Nicolai," his knuckles turned white as gripped onto the steering wheel and slammed his foot onto the accelerator. "Hold on tight," he warned as we zoomed past houses and buildings. He only slowed down when he was sure we were out of town.

"Where are we going, mister?" He looked at me disapprovingly.

"It's Nicolai to you. I'll be taking you to a safer place. You'll be free," he smiled causing me to frown. I didn't want him to risk his life for me.

"Turn around, mister. Take me back. You can't do this," I pleaded.

"WHY? I've seen your face... You don't like it there. Look at you! He's using you for his greedy needs," he stopped and looked at me with his piercing brown eyes. "Come with me and I'll keep you safe. He won't come near you again."

The Alpha of the more hated pack.

The Alpha who kidnapped many female wolves.

The Alpha who is wanted dead in our world.

The Alpha who will always be my father.

Arabella Baine

The car came into a sudden halt as a huge thump caused it jerked a couple of inches back. There in a black trench coat and the scar I've left him years before, stood my father's body guard.

"Listen to me, Nicolai," I touched his arm, feeling it tense. He stepped on the gas again, but the bastard's strength has made it impossible for us to escape. He swerved it unexpectedly, earning a vicious chuckle from his body guard. "Stop that, damn it! Listen to me now," my voice laced with strength and power caused to look at me with wide eyes. "I need you to step on the gas as soon as I distract him. I want you to drive far, far away from here and never come back for me. I know my father... He's very confident with this body guard of his. I know he wouldn't have wasted any more of his men to look over me."
