Broken Alpha, Paulina Vasquez [online e reader TXT] 📗

“I say, you look thirsty. Have a drink first.” I smiled.

I lifted my hands up and willed the water to form a water bubble around his head and he trashed around trying to knock it down, fighting for air. I focused to keep the water bubble in place. A few minutes later his lifeless body fell to the ground.

I pulled the door open and Angela had unlocked the other two girls, we quietly made our way back up that stairs and into the office. I opened the window in the bathroom and saw both Rocky and Leo.

“Thank the Goddess! Eros just came back. Hurry!” Rocky said with panic in her voice.

I lowered the young girl first and Leo grabbed her. Then I lowered Angela and the third girl. I lifted my leg through the window when an arm wrapped around my waste and pulled me in.

“Not so fast little wolf.” A voice growled in my ear.

Chapter 13 – Escape

“I’ve been waiting to get you alone and now you just stumble right into the wolf’s den. What luck!” Eros smiled at me.

“Why have you been looking for me, Eros?”

“Oh Raven, little Raven.” He sucked his teeth. “Seeing you in this sexy little costume would make even the God Pan chase after this tempting wood nymph.” He said as he lifted my mask from my face.

“What do you want from me?” I demanded.

He grabbed me harder around the waist and dragged me into his office. He threw me into an armchair, placed one hand on each side and leaned his crooked nose inches away from mine. “Tell me, why are my men disappearing when they get close enough to you?” He asked.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” I snapped back.

“I’ve sent some of my best warriors after you and most don’t come back.” He stared intently at me.

This must have been what Niko was talking about. “Those were your best? They couldn’t tell the difference between a human and wolf. They picked up the wrong girl.” I snarked back.

“Some might not be the smartest, but they are the strongest of the warriors” his voice was annoyed.

I could feel Rae inside ready to attack. She hated having him so close to us. “Let’s light his slimy ass up.” She said to me.

“I need him alive for more information, I don’t think he’s working alone.” I told her.

“There’s a perfectly good toilet filled with water in the next room, let’s water bubble him into talking.” Rae suggested to me. It wasn’t a bad idea, but I wasn’t exactly sure how to control it yet, I’d probably just kill him, which was also not a bad idea.

“My men are disappearing because the beast is obsessed with you. He killed his mate and now he wants you.” He said.

“And why exactly do you care if he wants me or not?” I said. “Do you work for him?”

“Bhahahaha.” His laugh was maniacal. “What a ridiculous notion that I would work for him. Oh no, my boss makes the beast look like a kitten.” He smiled and leaned back against his desk.

“So why do you want me?”

He reached into a cigar box on his desk and pulled one out. He held it in his hands and smelled it. There was a knock on the door and a man stepped in.

“The buyers are here, and the merchandise is gone.” He said.

“Where are the girls?” Eros growled at me.

“What girls?” I asked in my most innocent voice.

“Marty is dead.” The other wolf added. I assumed Marty must have been the wolf I water bubbled.

“The boss wants little Raven here dead, maybe I should let them have their fun with her. They came all this way and she let the merchandise go free.” His eyes flashed with anger.

“What should I tell them?” He asked Eros.

“Tell them I’ll be down in twenty minutes. I’d like to have a taste of this little wolf first.” He said.

“Yes boss.” He nodded his head and left the office.

Eros lunged at me and I kicked him in the gut sending him flying backwards. I made a run for the door and he grabbed the back of my headdress yanking it off. Then he grabbed a fist full of my hair and pulled me back. I looked up at his face and he still had the unlit cigar in his mouth.

He tugged the front of my dress down and it ripped down the middle. I could feel my bra and cleavage exposed.

“What is this?” He noticed my lighter and reached into my bra to pull it out.

“Guess I’m not the only wolf who likes to smoke.” I said eyeing his cigar.

He pushed me back down in the chair and looked at me as if I was prey. Pacing in front of me, he looked at the lighter in his hand and flipped the lid open. The cigar was still in his mouth, he brought the lighter to the end of the cigar and flicked it on.

There was a loud commotion coming from downstairs and the sound of gun fire. Eros’ eyes flared with anger and I knew it was time to make my exit. I willed the fire at the tip of the cigar to expand and burn. Eros let out a scream as the side of his face caught fire and the room filled with the smell of burning hair.

I bolted for the door and could hear the fighting downstairs. I ran down the stairs and heard the sound of guns firing.
