Caught in the act

I tried so hard to debunk everything he just said. I fi ally summoned the courage to talk. "Please can you repeat yourself?" I asked. 

"I am never made to repeat myself but for the sake of clarity. I reject you. You are not my mate" he repeated. This is definitely a punishment from the moon goddess. 

First, I lost my parents, and my uncle sold me off to the Alpha. I really had hope because I could feel the mate bond, and I thought he could feel the same, and now comes the rejection. 

"What's going on in your feeble mind? It seems you're having a hard time accepting the truth?" he asked. 

"Please you can't do this" I had to resort to pleading. Maybe he would change his mind and accept me. 

"You can't be my mate. You are just a low life werewolf who I purchased at an extremely high price" he said. I just had to accept my reality and move on. 

"But why did you purchase me from the auction?" I asked. This could be my only opportunity to talk with him, so I must make the most use of it. 

"I just needed to show them that the Alpha is the top on his league" he replied. It is so shocking that he did it because of pride. 

He dismissed his discussion with me and returned back to his room. 

Their is no changing it now because I am a rejected mate. The moon goddess really chose the worst way to punish me. But I have no idea what all these punishments are for. 

"You sound really pathetic" my wolf said. 

"I am a rejected mate, don't you think that is very shameful?" I said. 

"It is, but what can you do about it?" she asked. She is right, I can just sit and cry the whole day, but nothing is going to work out. 

I need to find a way to leave this castle. Luckily, the maid who helped dress my wound entered my room to check if I was perfectly OK. 

"Please can you do me a favour?" I asked. I had no idea about the escape routes in the castle, but I guessed she would have an idea. 

"I hope it's something I can do?" she asked. 

"I really need to escape from this castle tonight, so I need your help" I whispered. 

Jenna moved back a bit with an expression of shock on her face. "What makes you feel I know the castle very well?" she asked. 

"I just had a wide guess" I replied. Jenna delayed for a while like she was thinking of something to say. I waited patiently, hoping she would help me. 

"I can not help you escape, I am sorry" she said and quickly left my room. I really don't understand why she is so reserved and trying so hard to avoid being around me. 

I really needed to escape, and Jenna was my only bet at achieving that. And now, without her help, I guess I have to try and do this on my own. I don't want to get caught by the Alpha while trying to escape. The security around the castle is also known to be very tight both inside and outside. 

I remained in the comfort of my bed and started thinking of escape options. I could not sleep a blink because the thoughts of spending another day in this castle seemed like a terrible nightmare to me. 

The Alpha had just started molesting me, and I know fully that he would not stop doing it. He is a proud monster, and I don't stand a chance at mercy before his sight. He treats himself like a demigod and places everyone below him. And to also think that none of his servants in the castle can say a thing to him because he feels people of low life shouldn't talk to him. 

I could sense somebody entering my room, but I could not recognise the scent. 

"Tessa, follow me" she whispered. I didn't understand what this was all about. I really didn't expect her to come to my room by this time of the night. 

"You want to escape or what?" she asked. I quickly remembered I had asked her for a favour, which I felt she actually turned down. 

I was so excited so I quickly stood from my bed while wearing my night wear. I didn't care to change to any good dress because I was eager to leave this castle. 

"Just stick behind me" she said. She slowly led the way through an exit behind the castle. I wasn't surprised because I trusted that she had the full knowledge of the castle's hideout and other things. 

"How did you know about all this" I asked. My curiosity was having a grip on me. 

"You ask a lot of questions" she replied. Jenna looked mean, and she seemed like she doesn't love talking much. 

"I am sorry" I apologised. We finally got out of the castle building, and we were now left to cross the huge fence that surrounded the castle. 

"Now quit talking and concentrate. Look up there, and you will see a space under the fence. You can crawl out through there" she said while pointing towards it's direction. 

I tried so hard to bottle up my excitement and quickly move towards where she showed me. She stood and watched me as I ran towards the fence. I was so happy that I had finally found my escape and I was going to be free once again. 

Until I got blocked by Logan. "Rule number one, never escape from me" he chuckled. 

I turned back to see Jenna being dragged by one of Logan's guards. Logan could not hide the excitement on his face.
