31. Welcome
The next day.
Kathy wakes up.
She gasps sitting up. Looking down, she sees a brown blanket on her. She isn't on a bed. No, she's on a mattress. She scans her surroundings and realises she in some sort of storage room, filled with a pile a mattresses and a couple of wooden chairs nearby. Memories of what happened flood to her. That guy Matteo who met her outside her house, kidnapped her!
Panic floods her system. She get’s up and realises she’s still wearing her clothes from yesterday. Thankfully that guy didn’t touch her. Racing towards the door, Kathy tries to pry it open, however it’s locked.
The floor is cold and Kathy then realises that she’s completely barefoot. Her shoes were nowhere in sight.
“NO!!! PLEASE LET ME OUT!!! HELP HELP SOMEBODY!!!” She screams and kicks the door for a full twenty minutes. Kathy slides down the door crying, tucking her knees closer to her. She didn’t know why, he’d taken her.
Wiping her tears she scans the room once more. There had to be a way out. To her luck she spots a window. However it’s high up om the wall. Kathy scrams to her feet and gets to work. She drags the heavy mattresses towards the wall and piles them up. She then takes a wooden chair and places it up upon the eight mattresses by a miracle. She slowly and carefully climbs over. Even though she is short from the chair. Kathy latches on the edge of the window sill and manages to push herself up. The window is big enough for her to crawl through.
Her foot accidentally kicks out the chair that helped her up and makes a loud crashing sound on the floor. Kathy gasps and waits for someone to suddenly barge in from the sound of the noise however, to her surprise no one comes.
Looks like Matteo didn’t have any guards outside the door.
She soon completely hauls herself up and sits on the window sill. She’s amazed by the view she sees. A forrest meets her gaze. Kathy looks towards the ground and gulps. She was very high up and if she dared jump, she’d no doubt break her legs. Luckily Kathy spots a rain pipe to the side. She swiftly swings herself carefully and grabs the metal pipe tightly like a monkey. She slowly manages to crawl herself down to the ground.
Despite being barefoot, Kathy runs into the lush green forrest. She looks back and realises the place he’d brought her to was a modern looking wood house in the middle of the forrest. Kathy runs with all her might with adrenaline kicking inside of her. The forrest is thick, filled with bushes, shrubs and dead leaves upon the forrest ground.
“Ah!” She yelps out as a she steps upon a short bush with thorns in them. She whimpers out and pulls them off her now bloodied sore feet. Calming down she decides to walk carefully to avoid the bad bushes. She wipes her tears off again and takes a huge breath. This is no time to cry, she has no idea how far she’s ran. Not caring where she is, Kathy keeps on going.
Soon she finds a huge criss cross fence. Kathy rushes towards it, and latches on to it like a spider. She begins to climb, one step at a time, when suddenly she hears a wild growl behind her.
Startled by the sound, Kathy lets go and turns around.
She nervously gulps with her heart beating a mile, as she stares back at very huge looking wolf. It the colour of sand and it’s glowing it’s eyes green.
Scared Kathy run and hides behind a tree. However, the wolf is fast to find her. It draws near her. She’s too afraid to move this time.
She watched in shock horror as the wolf looks her dead in the eye and then soon phases into his human form. A forms into another hot guy that didn't kidnap her. Frozen at her spot he calmly approaches her butt naked, whilst her heart is hammering in her chest. His eyes shoot down at her splintered looking feet that at bleeding by the sole of her feet thanks to the short vines and twigs in the ground.
"You're hurt." He says, and places a hand worriedly upon her shoulder.
Kathy slaps his hand away and turns on her heel, very slowly.
"Where are you going tesoro?" His voice sounds like heaven.
But what he did keeps on playin on her mind, like a replay, when he wolfed out. Literally.
Kathy is in shock and bewildered by what she just saw him do. Her heart is pacing fast, thinking she's loosing her mind.
"You're not real. You're n--" Kathy suddenly faints with her panic levels high.
The guy who chased her then scoops her up in his arms.
Looking closely at her, Vincenzo sniffed her head close. His eyes flash down upon her sleeping face. Sparks errupted everywhere throughout his body as he held her close and took in her lavender with a hint of lemon scent. His in awe of her beauty as he takes in her golden blonde hair and forrest green eyes before they close. His inner beast stirrs inside of him, seeing her hurt by her feet.
"Vincenzo, what happened to Kathy?" Matteo comes by following her trail of blood on the forrest floor. He couldn't believe she managed to escape through the high window.
"I found her in roaming about in the woods barefoot looking lost and troubled. Who is Kathy, Matteo?" Vincenzo asks not tearing his
"She's non of your concern."
Feeling very protective about her, Vincenzo released a warning growl at him and held her in his arms flashing his eyes at Matteo warningly.
"I don't have time for your games Vincenzo, the girl is our prisoner not our prey. Release her or face Roman's wrath." He warned.
"What does this human girl have to do with Roman? Does she owe him a debt?" Vincenzo asks curiously.
"Not, exactly. I kidnapped her for him regarding other purposes."
"Like what?" Vincenzo asked darkly narrowing his eyes. He knew Roman well enough not to recruit girls as young looking as her for his club entertainment.
The cloud banks burst.
"Quickly get her inside."
With the skies now thundering above them, Vincenzo took no time getting her back to the main house along side with Matteo.

Kathy.
I woke up on a dark three seater leather couch. I was in some kind of huge office room. I slowly sat up and took notice that my barefeet had wrapped up in bandages, and also tied up with rope. My hands were bounded too and so was my mouth.
"Oh, looks like sleeping beauty is awake."
The one that kidnapped me darts his eyes towards me, making me shuffle scared in my seat. He's walking towards me but suddenly he gets blocked by another figure.
"Do not go near her Matteo, or my wolf will get angry."
"Well control him. I'm just going over to her to say hi, nothing more Vincenzo."
Knowing Matteo meant no harm, he allowed him to approach her.
"Kathy Pearson, you're a very brave girl to escape like that." Matteo said.
I could see him talking, yet my eyes were glued to his friend. My mind was really puzzled about what I witnessed. He was a wolf! A werewolf. Now he he was a man, a breathtaking beautiful man in a nice looking suit whom I couldn't stop staring at. What is wrong with me?
"Hey, focus girl [snaps his fingers] i'm talking to you." Matteo the tall skyscraper jerk than blocked my view.
"No I'm the one that stole your shoes. I did it to let you know that if you disobey me or anyother member of the pack watching you, you'll loose more than just your shoes."
The way he looked at my clothes disturbed me. I got scared once more due to his intimidating threat and my heart beats spiked a notch in alarm. Did he just say he'd rape me?
My eyes darted towards the door, and I forced my body off the couch from my panic state. My attempt was pathetic when I forgot the fact that my feet were bound. I fell on the cool marble tiled ground and groaned out crying and wailing through my gag "NMMMM!!!!"
Matteo sighed, he was just about to touch me when a wild growl sounded from the back. I ceased my cries through my gag. Matteo froze and looked back, surprised from the sudden dark growl that his friend made.
"Hey, calm down Vincenzo. I'm just helping her get back on the couch."
"No, need." The one named Vincenzo shoved him out of the way.
He swiftly got to me, and carefully helped me up by my arms and placed me back on the couch. My eyes welled up with tears, with confusion and panic streaming across my body. I was reduced to sobbing state through my gag. What are they going to do to me? Why am I here again? Bad thoughts rushed my mind.
"Hey, It's ok I'm not going to hurt you mia amore." Vincenzo stroked my cheek with the back of his hand, and I couldn't help by flinch to his touch in my worried state of mind. Vincenzo then backed away standing besides Matteo. I averted my eyes away from them fell silent. What was that weird sensation I felt through his touch a moment ago. I couldn't explain it, nor could I explain why the two well suited men grew silent and were staring at eachother for a brief second or two.
It felt like they were almost communicating.
Matteo watched surprised by Vincenzo sudden caring nature towards her.
M: Why the f^ck are you acting so whipped?
V: I'm not!
M: Yes, you f^cking are!
Vincenzo than blocked Matteo out from his private mindlink.
The door to the main office opened up, and in walked in a huge guy around 6ft4. He was much taller than Matteo and Vincenzo by atleast a foot, and looked much more intidating than them.
"Matteo and Vincenzo. Move away from my guest." He spoke like a General giving them an order, to which they instantly obeyed.
Suddenly, I grew scared as he drew close. I don't know why, but I looked towards the wolf man who found me in the woods. Despite flinching away from his touch earliar, I suddenly wished to be free from my bounds and grab hold of his hand. What was wrong with me?
Matteo and Vincenzo then moved away, allowing the new person to draw closer to me.
The man in a dark blue suit flashed his pearly white teeth at me. I froze for a second seeing the corner of his teeth looking very pointy. Shuffling to the last seat, I trained my eyes on him.
"Welcome to my territory Miss Kathy Pearson. I do apologise for any inconvinence caused with making your journey here with my right hand Matteo. My name is Roman Cortega, and you my sweetheart are my prisoner."
