I don’t dare to say a word anymore. I don’t want any more hits, but where are we going? I’m barefooted, and he makes me walk looking like this in the open! I am starting to get really scared of what’s coming now. He makes sure we avoid the rest of the pack, making us take the long way around the houses. Everyone is having dinner, is that why he only came now? To avoid others? I don’t like this...
Twenty minutes later, we finally enter one of the buildings on the outskirts of the city. I know this one: It belongs to our Jade Moon Clan, so a few pack members live here. Who are we meeting, then? Without a word, he pushes me into the elevator and finally lets my arm go. I’m freezing, and my arm aches...
“Alec, what’s going on? Why are we here?” I ask.
“Settling my debts.”
“What, how?”
He doesn’t answer and pushes me to the sixth floor. He grabs me again as he sees me hesitating and pushes me. I trip and almost fall on my knees as we enter one of the apartments. When I raise my head, I see Marcus.
Marcus, staring at me with a grin, half-naked.
“There you go,” says Alec.
“Wait, what? Alec, what is this?” I ask, panicked.
Oh, Moon Goddess, no, no, no. Marcus won’t keep his hungry eyes off me, and my brother looks so... detached.
“I told you we are settling my debts. Marcus will do that.”
“Exactly, sweetheart. Now you are going to be a good girl and let me have my fun, and your brother walks out with all that money he needs. How great is that?” Exclaims Marcus, with a broad smile.
Have they gone crazy! I don’t want to spend even a minute with this lecherous dog! And now he wants to sell me to this old pervert for money? What the Hell!
“No, no, I’m going,” I say, turning back to the door.
But Alec is in my way and grabs my arm forcefully.
“Stop it, Nora! All you have to do is let him fuck you, and our money problems will be over! What, are you going to say you don’t want to? You think I give a damn about you? But look, we need that money, so you’re going to be a good girl and...”
“And screw you, Alec!” I explode. “What money problems? You’re the one who got in trouble in the first place! Why do I have to do this! I don’t get a single cent for myself! Now you want to make me pay for the money I earned, and you stupidly wasted? No way I’m doing this!”
He hits me violently —a full punch, throwing me on the floor. I land painfully on my arms, letting out a cry.
“Shut the hell up! Whose fault is it I’m broke in the first place! Who made me an orphan, huh? You freak! Who gives a damn about what you think!”
He grabs me by the hair, forcefully making me stand on my knees, and looks at me with those crazy eyes.
” You’re going to do it, Nora. You’re going to have sex with Marcus. And after that, you better not complain, not a word, to anyone, because if you do, I will kill you for good this time, you hear me?”
He lets me go and storms out, slamming the door behind him.
He has gone mad. I’m shaking all over, from the panic and the shock combined. What nightmare is this?
“Well, well... It seems like you have your orders, now. So, let’s be a good girl, Nora. I’m paying your brother a good sum to have my way with you, so don’t you play hard to get now.”
Hell no.
I don’t want this pork anywhere near me, and there is no way I’m going to let him touch me in any way. My wolf is growling like crazy inside, ready to defend herself.
No way.
Chapter 2
It hurts...
My throat is so painful, every breath feels like a raging fire. I feel so numb.
