Chapter 5

Natalie's POV:

I opened my eyes but closed it again due to the streak of light falling on my eyes. It took a few minutes for me to adjust to the falling light. I saw the same kidnapper, Theodore, sitting at the corner of the bed. I crawled back in fear, pulling the blanket closer to my face.

"Hey, Relax. I'm not hurting you", he said raising his hand in the air.

" Who are you? What do you want from me? Those wolves? They didn't kill me?", I asked. There were a lot of questions swarming in my mind. I noticed he was thinking about something intensely.

"Aaah, my head", I cried holding my head in between my palms. This headache is surely going to kill me!

" Baby are you okay?", he asked concernedly holding my hands but I pushed it away. Whenever he touches me, I feel a tinge of current passing through my body.

"Please don't touch me", I cried.

" Fine, I am not touching you", he told softly and called someone.

A woman of mid-thirties came in the room bowing her head and asked politely, "Yes Alpha?"

Again questions swarmed up in my mind. He told his name Theodore, but why do people call him Alpha and why do they respect him so much. Is he some gangster or a mafia, Oh Natalie, you have got yourself in huge trouble?

"Call the doctor at once", He ordered the lady.

In no time the doctor arrived with some nurses.

" Go away, don't come closer to me", I screamed and cried.

"Alpha we need to give her an injection so that she sleeps peacefully", The doctor told.

" No, I don't want any injection. Go away", I yelled

"Do whatever you think is right for her health", Theodore replied.

The doctor removed the injection from her bag and the nurses held my arms and legs.

" Leave me", I cried, trying to come out of their grip. I didn't want that injection.

"Leave her", Theodore ordered in a stern voice and all the nurses moved back.

Will, he beat me, or kill me? I looked at him with fear in my eyes. He came and sat beside me and I got down from the bed. I was about to run but he grabbed my arms and pulled me on his laps. The doctor pushed the injection and I screamed in pain, " Please don't hurt me, please lemme go"

My eyes started to get heavy and finally, darkness engulfed me.

I woke up hugging a teddy bear and the teddy was also hugging me back. I felt so peaceful.

Wait..! Teddy Bear? Do teddies hug you back?

I quickly opened my eyes and I got lost in my kidnapper's eyes. His dark blue hypnotizing orbs had a lot of mysteries and pain. He was also looking right into my eyes. He gently tucked the hair strands which were coming on my face, behind my ears. I closed my eyes and held his shoulders tightly.

I don't like to confess, but I felt peace in his arms. I felt protected, I felt like everything will be fine when he is there beside me. I had a heavenly feeling in his arms. He stroked my cheeks and again, I felt current passing through my body. I quickly opened my eyes and sat up on the bed.

He also sat on the bed. "Are you okay?", he asked with great concern.

" Please let me go", I whispered.

"I have told you this before and I am telling you again for the last time, you can't go away from me. You're mine!", he told calmly.

" I don't want to stay with you. You can't force me", I said angrily and got down from the bed.

He grabbed my arms and pulled me on his laps again. He wrapped his arms around me and kept his chin on my shoulder.

"No matter, how many times you are going to escape from me, I'm going to find you and bring you back again. It's better you accept the fact that you're mine, Natalie.", he whispered in my ears and sucked my earlobes. I felt goosebumps all over my body.

He made me sit on the bed and wiped my tears with his thumb.

" Sssh, don't cry. I can't see you crying", He told softly.

"Why is life unfair with me?", I asked him crying.

He looked at me confusingly.

" I want to go back to my parents", I cried.

"Baby please don't cry. I'll take you to your parents", Theodore said holding my hands.

" I need to die to meet my parents", I cried.

"What are you saying, Natalie?", he asked confusingly.

" They left me and went to God", I cried and Theodore gave a shocking expression.

"They are dead", I told crying and burying my face in the pillow.

" Baby, listen to me", he told softly. He grabbed my arms gently and pulled me to his chest.

"Sssh, it's okay. Please don't cry", He told lovingly patting my head.

Suddenly the door opened.

"Oh sorry, I came at the wrong time", A man told covering his eyes. He was in his mid-twenties and had jet black hair, his eyes were brown in color, and he had a sharp jawline. He was shirtless and wore cargo pants beneath.

" What manners is this Steven? Can't you wear something?", Theodore told angrily.

"I am wearing my pants", the guy, who Theodore mentioned as Steven, replied.

" Stop showing off your abs. If Anna sees you roaming around shirtless, she'll beat you", Theodore told.

"Hey Future Luna", Steven said waving his hands. I looked here and there to see who was he talking to.

" I am talking to you", he said smiling.

"My name is Natalie, not Luna", I replied.

" Theodore she doesn't know anything?", Steven asked Theodore. I looked at them, blankly.

"Steven, can you please wait for me in the living room? And also please send Anna, Cassandra, and Kylie, to the room", Manik told and Steven nodded.

" Bye, Lu--I mean Natalie. See you", He said smiling, and left.

No sooner did he leave, Theodore looked towards me. He was lost in some turmoil of thoughts but he came out of his trance when three girls came to the room, giggling.

"Hey, Whatsup", said a girl smiling. She was tall and had long red hairs with some bangs on her face. Her eyes were hazel in color and had a well-sculpted face. She wore black shorts, a red crop top, and a black shrug over it.

" So she is your mate?", the other girl asked smiling. She was short, had blonde hairs that reached up to her shoulders. Her eyes were green in color, she had a short nose, and a beautiful smile lingered on her lips. She wore a yellow shirt, with a pair of white jeans.

"I must say, she is very pretty", the third one said smiling. She was a bit taller than the other girl and had brown curly hairs. She had blue eyes and red lips. She wore a white-colored short dress that came up to her thighs.

Theodore smiled and introduced me to them.

" Guys, she is Natalie. And Natalie the one in red dress is Cassandra, the one in yellow is Anna and the one in white is Kylie."

"Hi", I told in a low voice.

" What Hi, babe? No need to be so formal with us", said Cassandra and hugged me tightly, almost choking me.

"Cassandra be careful, she is a human", said Kylie, and I looked at her with fear and confusion.

Aren't they humans?

" I was just joking Natalie! Look at your face, you're so cute", Kylie told laughing and pulled my cheeks.

"Girls, I'm having some work so I'll take my leave now. Please take care of her", Manik said to them.

He then looked towards me and whispered in my ears, " Don't try to escape from me, baby. I won't spare you this time if you try to run from me"

He kissed my forehead and then looked towards Anna and indicated to her something, with his eyes.

He left the room while Anna followed him.
