His sharp claws sank deep into my skin, but | bit down on my lip, refusing to cry out. Alpha Kex’s expression was unreadable his eyes dark and cold, his jaw clenched tight.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
He dragged me across the grass, my feet barely touching the ground, and | felt myself growing dizzy. | was in shock. Everything was happening so fast.
In a daze, | saw him pull open the door of a sleek black car, and he roughly shoved me inside. | landed on the floor of the car, my head spinning. | looked up at him, my heart racing, as he slammed the door.
“Please, I’m sorry,” | said, my voice breaking. But he didn’t say a word. He just stared straight ahead, his eyes fixed on the road. The car sped along, the trees and houses blurring past the window. | could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my whole body shaking.
| wanted to scream, to cry out, to beg him to stop. But | was frozen in fear. | could only sit there, my entire body trembling, as we drove on in silence.
The car came to a stop, and we were in front of a lonely house in the middle of nowhere. “Get out,” he said, his voice cold and harsh.
| obeyed, my legs trembling as | climbed out of the car. | followed him to the door of the house, my heart beating wildly in my chest. | had no idea what was happening, or what he had planned.
| just knew | was terrified. He opened the door, and | stepped inside. The house was dark, the air stale and cold. | could feel goosebumps rising on my skin.
As the light flickered on, | let out a bloodcurdling scream. In front of me was a wall of severed heads, both wolf and human, staring at me with empty eyes. My heart was in
my
throat, and | couldn't breathe.
“What is this?” | managed to croak out, my voice barely a whisper. But he didn’t answer. He just stood there, watching me with an unreadable expression.
| began to shake, my whole body trembling as | realized what he might be planning to do. Was he going to kill me?
| watched him disappear up the stairs, my entire body trembling. When he came back.

down, he was holding a pair of handcuffs. | felt my heart drop to my stomach. | began to feel lightheaded, like | might faint.
My vision started to blur, and | struggled to keep my feet under me. He walked towards me, his eyes hard and cold. | wanted to run, but | knew it was useless. | was trapped, and there was nowhere to go. He took my arm, his grip like iron, he spread my two hands and snapped the handcuffs on.
With a vicious growl, he pulled out a belt, and | felt my heart stop. | let out a terrified howl as he raised his arm.
“How dare you cut Emily,” he said, his voice full of fury. The belt came down, and | felt searing pain across my back. | let out a scream.
“| didn’t cut her,” | sobbed, my whole body trembling.
But my words fell on deaf ears. Another blow came, and | fell to my knees. | squeezed my eyes shut, willing it to be over. But it didn’t stop. It just kept going on.
“Please, Alpha Kex,” | begged, my voice h 0 a rse from crying. “Please stop.”
Yet he didn’t listen. The belt kept coming down, over and over again, each blow harder than the last. | felt my vision start to fade, my whole body going numb. | crumpled to the floor, the handcuffs yanking me back up.
| was trapped, unable to escape the pain. | began to scream, my voice raw and ragged.. But it was no use. He just kept hitting me, and | could feel myself slipping away.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he reached 50, and the blows stopped. He removed the handcuffs, and | felt my body slump to the floor. My whole body was in agony, and | could barely think straight. | lay there, curled up in a ball, trying to make sense of what had just happened.
“If you ever think of touching Emily again,” he said, his voice full of rage, “I will make it a hundred.”
He turned and left the room, leaving me alone in the dark. | was in too much pain to move. | just lay there, sobbing./
| had always heard stories about how ruthless Alpha Kex was, but I had never imagined that | would experience his wrath firsthand. He had always been an intimidating presence, but | had never seen him so enraged. | had never known him to be capable of such violence.
There was a sudden crash, and the door flew open. | tensed, expecting to see Alpha Kex.

But instead, it was an unknown man. | struggled to sit up, my muscles screaming in protest.
“I'm here to take you home,” the man said, his voice calm and even.

| didn’t know who he was, or if | should trust him. But | knew | had no choice but to go with him. My body felt heavy and sluggish, and | knew | wouldn't be able to fight him. So | let him lead me out of the room, my head spinning.
| got into the car, and the entire ride was silent. The man didn’t speak, and | didn’t know what to say. | just sat there, my mind spinning. After a while, the man spoke.
“You are lucky Alpha Kex didn’t kill you,” he said, his voice flat and emotionless. “He usually doesn’t tolerate anyone making Emily bleed.”
| rolled my eyes. Was this supposed to make me feel grateful? It sounded more like a threat. But | would rather not provoke him, so | kept my mouth shut.
The car stopped in front of the house, and the man opened the door for me. | hesitated, wondering if | could make it inside on my own. But when | took a step, my legs gave out from under me.
“Are you sure you don’t need help?” the man asked, his voice full of concern.
| tried to steady myself, but my legs were shaking too much. “Yes, I’m fine,” | lied. “| can manage.” Yet as soon as the words left my mouth, | realized | was wrong. | did need help. | just didn’t want to admit it.
| dragged my feet up the stairs, each step a struggle. | felt like | was moving in slow motion, my limbs heavy and uncooperative. | passed the other rooms without seeing anyone, and | was grateful for that.
| reached my room and stumbled inside, collapsing onto the bed and pulling the blankets over me. As soon as | was covered, the tears started to fall. | felt overwhelmed, and my emotions were too much to handle. | sobbed into the pillow, unable to hold back the flood of tears.
