CHAPTER 1

"Hello, my name is Isabella Rogers, I'm 21 years old, and I'm here to see the gynecologist," I introduced myself to the nurse.

She looked up away from her computer, her face mask covering her face, but even with it, you could tell that she was beautiful. She nodded and went back to her computer to look up the appointment I had made a few days ago.

"Ah, Miss Rogers, you may enter," she said, her voice sounding slightly muffled with the mask. "The gynecologist's office is just two doors to your left" I smiled at her and followed her directions to the hospital room.

This was my first time coming to see a gynecologist and it was all because Trent has been forgetting to use a condom lately. I never notice until the end when I feel cum trailing down my legs and I always complain but he still forgets.

I opened the door and quickly stepped in closing it behind me, the stares from passers-by were kind of scary. I scanned the room. There was a small bed was at the right end, and a table was on the left. The room wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't particularly small either. My gaze fixed on the pictures on the wall...

"You must be Miss Rogers?" someone said. I turned around and was about to respond when my attention was drawn to the man in front of me. He had to be the most beautiful man I'd ever seen in my life.

He had black long hair that he tied loosely behind his head. He had grey eyes that peered into the depths of my soul. He was dressed in a black turtleneck that hugged his muscles and white slacks, with a lab coat over it and a stethoscope around his neck. He had a very impressive build and a little beard on his chin.

I'm not sure how long we stared at each other before he took a step closer to me, then another, and another until he was standing in front of me, towering over my short stature. I cleared my throat and took a step back, coming back to my senses, and putting some distance between us.

'Girl, you have a boyfriend' I thought to myself. I gathered myself and spoke.

"Yes, I am, and are you?" I inquired.

"Doctor Eros," he introduced himself. My brows furrowed in response to his voice. It was so deep that my legs almost gave out. Damn.

As he walked past me to the chair behind the desk, I heard him chuckle.

"How may I assist you, Miss Rogers?" He motioned for me to take a seat in the chair opposite his desk, in front of him. I gulped and walked towards the chair and sat on it, ignoring the way his eyes ran down my body.

'You have a boyfriend' I reminded myself

"Me and my..." I felt strange telling him this. It felt like I was confessing to my husband that I had cheated on him and that I might be pregnant. "My boyfriend has been having unsafe sex for the past few weeks, and I noticed my period is late, so..." I trailed off, hoping he'd understand what I was trying to say.

His eyes darkened and his jaw clenched visibly. The entire mood changed, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. I sat up in my chair, feeling self-conscious because he was staring at me. He leaned back into his chair and continued to stare at me, his eyes not yet back to their normal grey colour.

'Is that normal?'

"You would like to know if you're pregnant or not?" He asked, his voice noticeably lower than before. "Well, we'll have to run a blood test to find out," he said "Have you been experiencing any pregnancy symptoms, such as swollen breasts?" His gaze lowered to my breasts. "Are you experiencing fatigue, increased urination, or morning sickness?" He continued to ask.

My gaze dropped to my lap, no longer able to maintain eye contact with him or speak. I shook my head. This felt very awkward. I know he's a doctor and I'm meant to tell him this but damn was I uncomfortable.

"Go to the lab," he said, turning his gaze away from me and toward a file on his desk. Without being told twice, I flew out of my chair, wanting to get out of this room and away from him. I walked towards the door.

"Isabella," he called. I came to a halt; my entire body froze at the sound of my name in his mouth.

'Get a grip Bella'

I slowly turned around to face him and waited for him to speak.

"Learn to use a condom," he advised. My face flushed at his words, and I dashed out of the room, almost tripping. My face was still flushed as I hurried to the lab. I gave them a blood sample, and they informed me that the results would be sent to the email address I had previously provided.

I went home after leaving the hospital, my mind still on Doctor Eros and his sexy voice. How could a man's voice be so sexy like…. How? I mean I love Trent and all but if I hear that man's voice again, I don't know how I'll make it out of that hospital without a baby in me.

I arrived at my massive home and parked my car in the parking lot. I exited and went inside.

Silence

You could hear a pin drop from how quiet it was in here. One thing about living alone is that sometimes you get lonely. Trent left this morning for a business trip, and neither the Butler nor the Maid is present. I set my belongings on the table and went to the kitchen to make myself something to eat.

As I ate, I thought about my parents. Those bastards aren't even meant to be called parents. I left the house immediately after I turned 16 when I realized no matter what I did they wouldn't change, they wouldn't care. I lived with Alexa and her parents who were kind enough to let me stay and curse out my parents with me.

When I turned 18, I moved out of their house and got my place with the money I had saved. I started cooking and baking after I moved out so I wouldn't have to buy food all the time and fell in love with it.

I went to culinary school, did some competitions, and became a well-known chef. I became popular and wealthy, without any help from my parents.

Trent and I met on the set of a show and instantly clicked. We've been together since then. He's so sweet and caring, and he's always been there for me when I needed him. Missing my boyfriend, I smiled at myself.

After I finished eating, I washed my dishes, gave Trent a call then went to bed earlier than usual since I had nothing to do.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I woke up the next morning to the sound of someone banging on my door. The fuck?

I got out of bed, exited the room, and walked down the stairs. I don't have security, but I have very nosy neighbours who I'm sure were also awakened and annoyed by this sound. The ringing of my house phone startled me. I felt compelled to respond before I checked who was at the door, so I did.

"ISABELLA DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR" the person yelled as soon as I placed the phone on my ear, "They took Betty" Betty was the name of her granddaughter. The door flew open just as I was about to call the cops. I tried to flee, but I didn't get very far. He snatched my arm and tossed me over his shoulder like I weighed nothing.

How is he so fast and strong?

I began to scream and hit his back. I yelled at him to let me go, but he didn't listen and walked out of my house. I continued to curse him and hit him until my hands went numb and all the blood rushed to my head...

"Put me down," I said one last time before I was suddenly placed down but I didn't get the chance to do anything. He hit me in the back of the head, knocking me out cold.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Bella"

"Bella"

"Bella wake up"

I heard someone call my name. I stirred in my sleep, wanting to enjoy the sweet dream I was having then I felt something cold hit on my body, some of it entering my nose

The hell?

My eyes shot open and I sat up quickly, looking around for the bastard who poured water on me. 'Wait this isn't my room' I thought as I looked around. There were nearly 40 people here, both boys and girls. Some were lying on the floor, while others were leaning against the wall. My mind flashed back to what had happened earlier. I was kidnapped by the man.

"Bella" I turned to my right to see Alexa, my best friend, looking at me with a worried expression on her face. They took her too?

What is going on?

"Rise and shine," someone said, it was the man who carried me out of my house. He had a bucket in his hand, signifying that he was the one who poured water on me. I tried to move away from him, but I couldn't. There was something on my leg, preventing me from moving properly.

I looked down to see chains on my ankles, rubbing painfully against my skin as I tried to move. I heard the man hum in what I assume is satisfaction and his footsteps coming towards me. He grabbed my chin harshly and raised it, so I would look at him.

"Pretty," he said. The room wasn't that dark so I could see his face. He looked handsome even with the scar across his left eye. He smiled and released my chin. His hands reached down to my chest and brushed against my boobs. My eyes widened as I recalled sleeping in a black tank top and booty shorts.

"And sexy. I can't wait to have my way with you" My heart stopped beating. No this can't be happening, Fear spread through my body at the thought of the man taking me by force. I heard him chuckle, amused by my reaction.

"I can smell your fear" He whispered in my ear then suddenly grabbed one of my boobs and squeezed it hard. I yelped in pain. He raised his hand to one of the straps of my tank top and pulled at it, cutting it.

His hand went into my tank top and grabbed my boob again, I shivered as his cold hand came in contact with my sensitive bud. He continued to grope me in front of everyone here, making my face flush with embarrassment and shame.

"Mark, stop harassing her and let's get started," A voice said. The man groaned in annoyance but didn't let me go as the person said.

"Why? When the others came earlier you didn't stop them" he said. My eyes widened. There were others? His body was blocking my view so I couldn't see anyone properly but I heard some crying.

"Let's her go" The person growled out in what I imagine is annoyance. The mark rolled his eyes but let go of me.

"Get up all of you," The voice said and without hesitation, we all got up from the ground. It wasn't easy to stand up with the chains on my ankles but I managed to. The man stood beside me, his height and size overpowering mine.

"Form a line," The voice said. We did as we were told and formed a line. Some random guy was in front of me and Alexa was behind me. The man stood at the side, staring at me with lust and amusement in his eyes.

"Move out" We followed their instructions. Just before the person in front of me moved the man spoke.

"See you later Bella" He spanked my a$$ hard, causing tears to well up in my eyes but I held them in. He walked away from me and towards the person who spoke earlier and whispered something in their ear.

I felt assaulted, abused, and violated. I just wanted the ground to open and swallow me. I looked at my chest and noticed that my boob was practically exposed. I used my hand to cover it, feeling disgusted by my own body for the first time in my life.

"Here" I heard Alexa say behind me. She handed me her hoodie. She usually slept in a baggy shirt, sweatpants, and a hoodie on top. I was so thankful to her that I put it on. The hoodie was baggy and reached my thighs.

We walked for God knows how long, the chains making it harder to walk. We finally stopped in a long hallway.

"This will be your sleeping chambers. On each bed, there are two uniforms and one shirt. Immediately you enter, put on the uniform, and come back out here. Do not waste my time" The voice that stopped that man spoke.

I and Alexa entered a room with two other people. The room wasn't exactly fit for four people. It had two bunk beds on opposite sides, one table at opposite ends, and two chairs. On the tables, there was some paper glued to it but I paid it no mind

While the other two chose their bunks, I chose the top bunk and Alexa chose the bottom. We changed into our uniforms and exited the room. We were shown to the general washroom for both men and women, the storeroom, which housed all of the cleaning supplies, the kitchen, where we would cook and serve food, the living rooms, the game room, the second-in-command wing, and the king's wing, and finally the dining room.

This place was huge. It had both a traditional and modern vibe to it. The dining room was large, it had about ten long tables and more than enough chairs around it. There was a huge chandelier at the top and what seemed to be a fountain at the centre.

We finally stopped in the living room on the bottom floor. My legs felt like they were going to give out on me soon due to all the stairs we had to climb. The person leading us around was a female. She was tall, with caramel skin and black curly hair. She was beautiful.

She was dressed in black sweats and a white T-shirt. She walked with so much power and confidence that it made most of us look tiny. She kept on going explaining what we had to do and the result if we didn't do it.

"Finally, my name is Angel and if you have any problem whatsoever you can come to me. Your duties have been pasted on the door of your room and the tables" she said. "You are allowed to roam the premises before dinner and get used to the place. You are not allowed to leave this building or enter any room unless you've been told to. Tonight, during dinner all of you should be in the dining room" she said, no hint of playfulness in her voice.

"You may leave," she said. All most all of us went back into our rooms, not wanting to be caught by any of our kidnappers. I entered our room and sat down on Alexa's bed. She sat beside me and the other two sat opposite us.

"Hi" One of them greeted. "I'm Khalid and I'm 20 years old," The guy said. He was shorter than most guys and thinner too. He had brown curly hair, doe eyes, and big cheeks. He was cute.

"Hi, I'm Isabella but you can call me Bella. I'm 21 years old" I said.

"Hello, I'm Alexa and I'm 21 years old" She wasn't really a people person. Alexa had blond hair with the ends dyed brown. She looked like a model. I always told her to try modelling but she says she wants to be an influencer. She can't talk to people face to face unless she's known you for a long time, but over the phone, she's a whole different person. it's shocking.

"I'm Sam and I'm 22 years old" she had black hair like mine but with red highlights. She looked like the classic bad girl, with piercings and tattoos everywhere. We all chatted for a while getting to know each other since there was nothing else to do and we had the whole afternoon.

"So do you guys think we'll get out of here," Khalid asked, fear filling his voice.

"Sincerely I don't," Sam said "I live in an estate with my parents and the way they came into my house and carried me away was weird"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well firstly my parents didn't do anything when they barged in, in fact, they told them that they could take me away and even the security didn't try to stop them" She explained.

"You're right. Even my parents didn't try to stop them" Alexa said. My eyes widened in shock.

That was weird. Alexa's parents were the nicest I people knew and they loved their daughter more than anything in the world.

"So, what do you think it means? They knew what was happening?" I asked, confused.

"I don't know but we're here now so we might as well try our best not to die" We nodded in agreement.

"Does anyone have their phone?" Khalid asked

"No, Mine's at home," I said.

"They took mine," Alexa said

"Same here"

Khalid sighed and rose from his bed. He walked to the door and examined the paper at the back, which they said listed our duties.

"Um, Guys…...we're on cooking duty tonight and tomorrow morning" A smile made it to my face. No matter where I was cooking made it more bearable. Sam noticed my smile and raised a brow.

"You like cooking?" I nodded my head.

"I'm a chef"

"Well at least one of us is good at it," Sam said. I chuckled.

"It says here that we have to prepare food for at least 50 people" My jaw dropped "Kids and teenagers included"

"Well, we're screwed," Sam said.

"And we can eat what's left," Khalid said. We didn't have a choice we were going to do it no matter what.

"Dibs on the second in commands room" Khalid suddenly yelled and we all looked at him confused.

"On Sunday we're on cleaning duty and the rooms are the second in command" he turned to us" I called dibs" we all raised our hands in surrender. He hummed and turned back to the paper.

"The dining room and living room"

"Dibs" Both Alexa and Sam called at the same time.

"And the King's room" They all looked at me and I groaned.

"Yes, leave the King for Isabella" They all laughed at me. After a while of checking our duties and calling dibs, we decided to go to the kitchen and get started on dinner.

My body was filled with excitement as we made our way to the kitchen. It was colossal. It has plenty of storage space and appliances. It was white and black, and it went with everything. I smiled and dashed to inspect all of the cabinets, pantry, fridge, and oven. I do this every time I enter a new kitchen.

"Is it normal to be this excited when you enter the kitchen?" I heard Sam ask.

"I think so," Khalid said, not sure.

"Y'all haven't seen anything yet. You should have seen her when she moved into my house. She practically slept in the Kitchen" Alexa said. She was right.

"Okay let's get started. Anything in mind?" I asked, rolling up his sleeves and putting on an apron. They all did the same.

We decided on chicken pot pie for dinner and cheesecake for dessert. I gave instructions because I was the chef, and they followed them. Angel had returned inside with everyone else by the time we were finished.

"Are you finished?" She inquired, then sniffed the kitchen before giving me a satisfied look.

"Um... yeah," I replied her for us and she nodded.

"Start serving," she said. The others moved, picked up the plates, and left the kitchen to the dining room.

"You all are serving the king's table" she pointed at me and my roommates. We nodded and took off our aprons. We took the plates and went to the dining room, where we arranged everything on the king's table.

After serving we all stood by the walls as Angel said and waited for our kidnappers to enter the dining room. They all started entering and taking seats at different tables. Why were they all so tall? I don't think it was normal to be that big.

In under ten minutes, the place was filled but they hadn't started eating. It looked like they were all waiting for something or someone.

'The King' I thought answering my unasked question.

They all stood up and bowed towards the door on the left, while the people standing against the wall looked at each other confused and bowed. The rest of us trailed behind.

As the King entered the dining room, the atmosphere in the room changed. The silence in the room was almost deafening. My breathing could even be heard. The King exuded such a powerful and terrifying aura that just being in the same room with him made me shake.

How can someone have so much power?

I took deep breaths, trying to calm my speeding heart. I heard the chair creak and someone sit down.

"Rise," he said. The Kidnappers rose and sat down in their chairs. I slowly rose back up. They began to eat while we remained glued against the wall, unable to move from the fear in our veins. This wasn't normal. If they had guns, I would understand but they didn't have anything and I still felt afraid of them. How do humans have such power and strength?

"Well, I see the humans have arrived," someone said. A man stood up from the king's table and walked to the centre of the room. "Welcome to our palace humans"

Humans?

Angel got up and bowed.

"They haven't been informed of our species yet, second," she said to the man. This caused some people to speak, making the room noisy.

"Enough" Silence filled the room "How about we show them what we are, your highness," he said, bowing towards the King. Because of the distance between us, I couldn't really see his face but I could tell that he nodded.

"James" Angel's second caller called back. The man sitting next to Angel stood up and walked away from the table, not before kissing her on the cheek. He approached the second and began to remove his clothes.

My eyes widened in shock. Why was he stripping?

The sound of bones cracking filled the room after he had stripped down to his boxers. I wanted to look away because it sounded painful, but I couldn't. My gaze was fixed on the man.

The man had vanished in an instant, but there was something else there.

A werewolf

The blood drained from my face and gasps filled the room.
