Owned!

I found myself in a room, chained to a bedpost by the time my eyes opened again. It was a large room that appeared to be luxurious and costly.

I tried to free myself by pulling on the chains, but they were tightly clasped. I seethed and pulled even harder at it in frustration causing the chains to dig into my skin and forming a bruise on my wrists.

"It's useless to keep pulling. You'll only hurt yourself."

My head jerked up to the voice and my mouth almost parted in awe to see the most dashing man my eyes had ever seen standing at the door. He had thick, lustrous hair with the color of a midnight sky… long and curly, and eyes like the finest goldish pearls. Gold and mesmerizing.

He was looking at me intensely.

I didn't even hear him enter the room. I had been too focused on getting freed from these bounds and pissed at myself.

His delicious full lips looked so soft, making me wonder what they would taste like.

'Woah. Where did that thought come from? Did I just fantasize about sucking this monster's lips?'

But heavens… he was one hot specimen!

He was shirtless, allowing my gaze to be drawn to his prominent muscles. His physique was far more intimidating than any other man I'd met thus far.

'Would I be crushed if he lay on me?' The thought of him on top of me sent a rush of desire through my body.

I quickly snapped back to my senses before my mind wandered too far.

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME??!! I should not be lusting over a dangerous sadistic killer werewolf ALPHA!

"Where is Denie?" I asked, suddenly remembering how Ben had dragged her away from me and...

"Denie?" His brows creased as if the name brought distaste to his tongue. "The filthy little human with you?" He asked.

"Don't call her that! She's the nicest person I ever met and the only one I have!" My voice was harsh. "I will never let anyone disrespect Denie like that. She is the only one to ever show me love and kindness when I needed it most."

His eyes flashed a mixture of bright colors like that of burning flame at my tone. It was a clear warning not to use that tone with him again.

"She is? Well, that's too bad because you're never seeing her again!" He still had a deep alluring voice even in his human form.

"What?... What do you mean?" I asked with a growing sense of panic.

"WHERE IS DENIE?" A scream broke out of my lips.

"We do not keep humans here…. We eat them!," he growled.

My heart sank as the meaning behind his words settled in.

"YOU MONSTER! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!" I screamed in despair.

I guess his patience finally snapped as he lunged at me. He was kneeling over me on the bed in the flash of a second—his big hand wrapped around my throat in a tight squeeze.

"Don't you ever raise your voice at me again, you pathetic little bitch!" he snarled. "I could break your fragile neck with just a little snap of my wrist!" His grip tightened a little more and I felt air knocked out of my lungs.

I couldn't breathe.

I couldn't do anything but watch him choke me to death with my hands chained to the bedpost.

"Let me make something crystal clear for you to understand. You are here to be my play toy, my entertainment… if I no longer find you useful, it won't take me even a second of hesitation to end your useless existence!"

His statement was a clear indication of his abusive and manipulative behavior. This was unacceptable! Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, and no one should ever feel threatened or devalued by someone else.

I stared defiantly at him but remained silent as he continued, "Your life belongs to me now; you will do what I say, how I say it, when I say it and maybe…." his other hand leisurely roamed from my thighs to my chest.

I bit my lip to retain the moan that wanted to escape my mouth. Despite hating how I was being treated, I couldn't help lusting over this hot, sadistic killer Alpha.

"Maybe I will keep finding some good use for you." He grinned at me, revealing his sharp Canines threateningly.

My eyes widened in fear. This man wasn't just a monster, he was a psychopath. A beast! I couldn't stay here. I had to get away from here by any means.

"Do I make myself clear?" The words flew past his barely parted lips.

I quickly nodded as I desperately wanted him to get off me.

He grinned, obviously pleased at my submission.

"You look so good when you are not such a pain," he whispered as he pressed his face to the side of my neck and took a deep breath, sniffing me. "So delectable. Your fragrance is very... enticing! "Perhaps I should taste you now."

He licked my neck and pressed his skin against mine before I could react.

I expected to be disgusted by the contact with his bare skin, but my traitorous body arched to get a better feel of him. It was as if I could no longer control my body, and the moan I tried to muffle escaped my lips.

He felt fantastic. Too good to consume my sanity.

"Alpha Cedric!" A female voice rang outside the door, causing him to jerk away from me as if he'd just awoken from a dream.

"The South Rock pack has arrived, Alpha," she informed him.

His first reaction was a deep groan of annoyance. "Can't you handle the meeting? I'm a little… preoccupied here." He said, looking back at his hand still resting on my chest.

"They are the most dangerous and most troublesome pack we know, Alpha. They have been threatening war and will attack at the slightest provocation…" She paused to let the information sink in.

"We cannot risk anything going wrong or offending them right now, Alpha. And it would be best if you handle them personally."

He tiredly dropped his head on my neck, frustration was now evident in his demeanor, and I felt the sudden urge to comfort him.

Hell… Where did that even come from?

"Fine!" He said and sighed in resignation before reverting his attention to me. "We can play later," he whispered, giving me a crooked grin as he squeezed my chest and got off me reluctantly.

Finally! I couldn't say if I felt relieved or sad.

I let go of the breath I hadn't realized I was holding as soon as the door shut behind his alluring figure, leaving me alone in the luxurious room.

Despite my inexplicable attraction to him, I had to leave this place regardless of the consequences.

I began plotting my escape as I remained tied to the bedpost.

What could possibly go wrong in giving it a shot? I've witnessed and experienced far worse than anyone could imagine; hence saving myself from monsters shouldn't be so different from the bullies I had faced for countless years. Right?

Well only one way to find out. I was determined to do nothing less!
