DAVINA
"Get in!" The boy's sharp voice jolted me back to my reality. One step, two steps closer to the car, I felt like Shawn's gaze was stripping me off down to my most hidden self.
His eyes were warning me not to get closer to the car but the smiling boy's eyes drew me closer.
"Where are we going?" I croaked, my hands tugging on the loose straps of my backpack. "Are we going to the Alpha's mansion?"
"What?" The boy sneered, his smile faltering. "Are you eager to meet the Alpha? Eager to become a princess even when you are not born to?" His words jabbed me, making me take a step back.
However, he caught me by the shoulder and led me into the car. My body was stuffed in, almost falling on Shawn but the slight shift in his body as he glued himself to the edge of the car made my face burn in embarrassment.
Shawn didn't even want to touch me!
I sat back, squeezed in between the two boys still with no clue of what was going on. My breath turned heavy, due to the suffocating atmosphere as if a heavy boulder was pressing down on my chest.
Racing thoughts kicked in and my muscles tensed. Shawn's presence dampened me and my head hung low with my hair falling messily on the sides of my face. At the same time, I felt the intense gaze from the smiling boy on the back of my neck.
"Please…" My croaky voice resounded in the silent car as we moved. "Can you tell me what's going on?" I stared at the boy, tears already at the edges of my eyes.
"Who are you, really?"
"Us?" He grinned at me. "Why do you want to know who we are? Are you trying to cling to your next victim like your mother?"
"What?! I am not doing any of that." I gasped, shaking my head from side to side. "I am just confused—"
"Let her be, Uriel." Shawn's cold voice echoed behind me. I turned to look at him sharply but he was looking past me, as if I wasn't even there. He acted as if I had no presence, no form before him.
My questions went unanswered as the car went uncomfortably silent. The smiling boy, Uriel, was no longer smiling or looking at me. He had ignored my entire existence too.
I struggled not to break into sobs due to the pressure else I would only become even more pathetic before Shawn. But as the journey stretched, I wondered who Shawn and Uriel were. The Alpha's sons? Or were they just acquaintances?
Most of the Pack members didn't know what the sons looked like. The Alpha cited protection as the reason for keeping his sons hidden when the pack members clamored for them.
Slowly, rumors of the sons being very ugly spread through the Packs and now, I wondered just how ugly they were. Shawn and Uriel couldn't be the real sons, right? They were too handsome and different for the ugly rumors that surrounded the Alpha's triplet sons.
The car ride continued until we finally stopped at the entrance of the pack mansion. Shawn and Uriel were out already but then I stayed in the car, fighting whether to go in or not.
What would I meet in there? Ugly monsters who would only hate me more? I then would be subjected to even more misery.
"Davina?" An unfamiliar male voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I turned to see another boy, a student like me with his back bent so he could look into the car.
"Why are you sitting there all alone?" He beckoned on me, with a sweet smile on his face. His smile mirrored the same one Shawn would always send my way and I found myself going calm, tension leaving my body.
"Who are you?" I asked, timidly.
"I am Ethan." He smiled, stretching his hand to me. "Come with me, your mother, the new Luna is waiting."
He didn't speak of my mother like she was a vile woman like Uriel and Shawn had done. He made me comfortable before him and slowly, I put my hand in his waiting hand. His palm was soft, large, and soothing as he squeezed my small hand in his.
"I'm sure you must have met Uriel and Shawn?" He led me into the house, my head swaying all over, trying to take in the ambience.
But as we walked into the house, he increased his pace and before long, I was being dragged after him. My heart beat faster as I had to keep up with his large strides.
"Ethan, slow down!" I called out and he did, suddenly. But then I realized he stopped before a door, unlocking it with a rusty key.
"Stay here for a while. Alright?" He smiled at me, the same smile from earlier but it had an edge to it. Something that made me feel uneasy.
He pushed the door knob and I was dragged into the room overshadowed by darkness!
My breath quickened as I was just as powerless as a human. I didn't have my wolf yet, and I couldn't see through the darkness like other people with wolves would.
"Ethan, why are we here?" My voice was shaky as I frantically moved my head from side to side. But in the next second, he caught my jaw in his strong palm, keeping me in place.
"You are in our den now, Davina." His deep voice resounded beside my ear as his warm body pressed me to the wall.
I pushed on his chest, "What are you doing—"
"I heard you confessed to Shawn today." He continued, his voice turning dangerous. "Are you desperate to get into our pants this much?"
Shame burned through me and in the next second, my eyes shut tightly. "I…that wasn't my intention…hmm…"
My words muffled in my throat when his slimy tongue darted out and licked through my earlobe. His lips caught the soft flesh, sucking on it.
"Ahh…" I didn't know when I let out a moan, and a realization that I was reacting to his touch burned through me. My core tightened and my body loosened even more. I craved Ethan's touch even more as the scent of his male pheromones numbed my reasoning.
"Shit!" He hissed all of a sudden before pulling away. I didn't see his face but I could feel his restraint. His resentment too.
"You enjoy this, huh? Tempting me?"
"No!" I gasped. "That's not true. You did it, not me!"
"And you enjoyed it!" He chuckled before he opened the door again. I could see him clearly now with a wicked smirk on his face, "Enjoy this place while you are at it too."
With that, he walked out and slammed the door shut.
"No! Let me out!" I banged on the door, screaming my lungs out but it was as if I was thrown into the abyss. My voice didn't reach the outside world at all and I could only hear what was going on behind the door.
Heavy footsteps echoed and I heard a thick voice, "Is Davina here? Did you boys successfully get her?"
"No, father," Ethan replied, all sense of playfulness in his voice had seized, replaced by reverence and maybe a hint of fear. "She disappeared before Shawn and Uriel could get her."
