The Alpha's Special Mate novel Chapter 33

Skylar's POV

I've been trapped here for a few months I think since I have no actual clue how long it's been considering the first few days here had felt like forever. I am only allowed to go to my room and the library seeing as I was getting very agitated being cooped up in my room all the time and only being able to leave when I was forced to have dinner with Vance.

Since I've been here I am finally allowed to leave my room and go to the library. I made sure to memorize every little detail of the walk from my room to the library. Every day and night I am still being injected with wolfsbane the only difference with the nightly injection is that it's laced with a sedative. I just have to hopefully survive long enough to with hope become immune to the wolfsbane. Once I do start to build up a tolerance to it I know I am going to have to pretend that it still weakens me like it does now. I will escape from this prison no matter what and no matter how long it takes me to do it. I will never give up trying to get back to my family which is the only reason I am able to keep my sanity and keep me pushing forward.

I just have to keep playing nice until the right time and opportunity comes along for me to set my escape into motion. I was sitting in the library reading the first book in the clockwork trilogy. I was really enjoying it grateful I was finally able to go somewhere else other then my room and the dining room. As I sat on a window bench reading my book I heard the doors of the library open and in came a woman who was extremely angry for some reason as she looked for someone.

"I know you're in here bitch, I can smell your scent all over the place." She yelled out as she started to roam around the library looking for me.

The library is very, very big and I was sitting in a high window on the second floor of it. I could hear her walking around on the first floor and I just sat where I was not willing to move as I listened to see if she get any closer. I heard her growling out profanities as she looked around not being able to find me making her even more angry. She eventually started to climb the stairs that lead to the second floor where I was. She kept looking and roaming around up and down the aisles searching for me I watched from my hiding spot and held my breath as her foot steps kept getting louder the closer they got to me.

Where I was sitting reading was in a little alcove that wasn't known at first glance you really had to look for it and it was in one of the dark corners of the library which I was very grateful for right now. I could hear the woman still growling out more profanities and sniffing trying to figure out where I was hiding but she eventually gave up. I listened to her steps receding back down to the first floor and eventually I heard as the library door slammed shut. Letting out the breath I was holding I sighed and relaxed a little knowing I was once again alone but it made me wonder why she was so angry and why she was looking for me.

I left my little hiding spot and made my way to the library doors, as soon as I opened them I was greeted my a bright smile coming from the only friend I had in this place Candy. I smiled back at her as we chit chatted as we walked back to my room but before we could reach my room Candy was slammed into the wall and was knocked unconscious. Before I could even react to anything the attacker had their hand wrapped around my throat as they slammed me against the wall hard making my vision slightly blur and spots scatter across my vision. Once my eyes were able to focus again I was able to finally see who it was that had their hand around my throat. My eyes went wide when I realized it was the woman from the library, she slammed me against the wall again making a groan escape my lips from the pain.

"What's so fucking special about you you little fucking whore" the woman ground out through gritted teeth.

Not being able to breath or say anything seeing as her hand was cutting off my oxygen I was only able to stand there staring at her with wide eyes as she continued her monologue.

"He is my mate mine but he rejected me for some little no body. Why you what's so special about some backwater skank." She kept going on and on about I eventually tuned her out and tried my hardest to get out of her iron grip. Since I kept getting injected with wolfsbane I didn't have my strength so my struggling was pointless since I was no stronger then a human. My vision started to blur again as I was losing consciousness and before everything went completely black I heard a very loud growl and then the hand was gone from my throat letting me take a deep painful gulp of air as I slumped to the floor as the darkness fully consumed me.
