Chapter 36

I sat on the floor of the room looking,

Eric ha d finally brought me home and decided that he wanted to make something special for me, Soni sat on the floor of my room.

I was still shaken honestly. I had never felt that out of control before. I didn’t even think it was that possible to be out of control that way.

I looked at my hands.

“Melissa?” I called looking at the mirror that I had come to know as their portal. Nothing.

“Maya? Milan?’ still nothing.

We’re they ignoring me? I thought shaking the feeling off.

Melissa didn’t seem like the type to ignore me. To me, she felt like the type that would confront me of there was any thing wrong. I physically cannot bring myself to think of why they were not responding to my calls.

“ You” someone called, startling me out of my wits. It was the old man that had called me an abomination the other day at the dinner table.

I looked around, the door was locked.

“How did you get in?” I asked the most important and most obvious question.

It was obvious that he didn’t use the door.

“how I came in is not the issue here. It’s how you’re going to go” he said flashing his canines at me.

“You would listen and leave this place, never looking back and…”

“Uncle” Eric snapped from behind us , causing the both of us to turn and look at him. “I have told you. You would treat my mate with respect,” his uncle looked like he was ready to say something.

“Please leave. Anything you want to say, we can discuss it later, but for future references I would not want you to come even a meter close to my mate” he looked like he wanted to say something but thought better of it.

“Hey” he said when he had gone

I hugged him tight and that’s when I was hit with a vision.

' when you are in a situation where you can't defend yourself, always make sure to be as compliant as possible' my father's words rang in my head as I slowly regained my senses. "what do you mean she is not a pure blood! I freaking know what I am saying! she is one of them." a ranged voice sounded beside me. I knew that voice anywhere. "are you trying to play with my intelligence? this is nothing but a fucking fake!" another voice said a little further from the first, kicking me in the ribs. I tried my best to still act unconscious and bit my tongue in order not to produce any sounds.“It is not, sir. I would prove it” before I could realise what was going on, I was choking. There was no way I could pretend to be asleep anymore.“Stay still you mutt!” James said as he grabbed my head to stay still and he brought the offensive smell near my nose that caused my wolf to howl out. “please, take it away.. I can’t breath” I pleaded to my husband in hopes that he would take pity on me. “fine, you’ve proven your point” the other guy said causing James to remove the strong grip he had in my face. “How much do you want for it?” the guy asked again. My head snapped up at the question. ‘there was no way!’ I thought in shock as I looked from my husband to the man. ‘this is all some misunderstanding. It can’t be' I tried to convince myself as I watched my husband and the stranger converse “Fifty four thousand dollars” he said without batting an eyelash. ‘surely it could not be.’ I thought to myself as I tried to stand up but then fell to my knees. “There is no way I would pay you for that amount. I haven’t even seen what wolf I am paying for yet.” The Man said gesturing to the person behind him who brought out something that he put in his mouth. “Look sir, this is not our first business together. So you know how these things work…” before he could complete what he wanted to say, the man cut him off. “I would give you three days. That’s all I can afford. If you don’t know it’s position by then, then I guess the deal is off.” The guy said and left, leaving me alone with James. “Let’s go home” he said not even bothering to wait for me to stand up. I was panicking. As we walked towards the cab that had brought us back, I could not help but be worried. He was quiet, too quiet that it was offsetting. “get in” he said as he opened the door for me. I got in, no questions asked. “the park” he said in a monotonous voice. “J.. James?” I called out in a low voice despite the little voice that told me to shut the hell up.“Those people, were they, are you, why were they,?” the words seemed to be stuck in my tongue somehow, because no matter how much I tried, the words did not seem to come out. “You aren’t making any sense love” he said smiling at me. Any other day, I would have given my arm to see that smile, but at the moment? Something told me that it was not in anyway a good sign that he was smiling at me. “Speak to me, what is it?” he said sliding up his hands to my shoulders and caressing it. “Are you a hunter? Like for wolves?” I said in a low voice, I could not actually believe that I had said it out loud. I expected him to laugh, saying how stupid that sounded but what he said shocked me to the core. He leaned over and whispered in my ear “ don’t ask questions you already know the answer to love.” I felt my face drain of it’s colour. “I.. I want to go out” I said facing the driver who paid no attention to me. “Open the fucking door!” I yelled as I tried to open the door.“Oh stop being a brat! You already know what want, so stop being a bitch and sit still. When we go to the park you are going to shift for me so that I could see what exactly you are!” he said with a glint in his eyes. “I bet you would be an alpha” alarmed, I quickly looked to the driver who looked in bothered. “He knows?” I asked dumbfounded. “Honey, save your strength. You are going to need it for when you are going to shift. I heard you guys need a lot of energy for that” he said facing the road. At this point, I could only pray that some way somehow, I could get out of this situation or it was not going to be pretty.∆∆

“Hey? Are you okay?” he looked at me with worry in his eyes..

“Nothing” I said looking anywhere else

“Hey, you know he can’t hurt you right? I’ll talk to him” I nodded.

I hoped with everything within me that the vision was not I anyway true. I could not imagine Eric to be a monster.
