Chapter 2 2 : Werewolves aren't real

"Mr Derek,, one of my captors said, "She is the finest, and I assure you that no one has...no one has touched her"

Derek, that was his name.

I waited still for the worst as Derek took a few steps towards me and touched my face. He lowered his head and sniffed me, like he literally sniffed me.

At that point, I had no idea if I should be confused or scared, but somehow, I liked the way I felt with this man close to me. I looked up to see his eyes closed, his lips slightly open, and I noticed something that looked like an unusually long tooth.

I nearly jumped out of my skin when he opened his eyes and his gaze pierced into my soul. It was empty, not like it was before, making me scared for my future.

"No! You can't sell me to this...." I glared at him, searching for the right word to use, "I can't go with him! He looks like someone that would... that I would kill, and I'd rather have my organs ripped out"

Shit!

I knew I sounded like a nutter but I had to follow what Jane said. I had to make sure I didn't get sold, and when I get back to Jane, I would make sure I get her to tell me who I was.

The problem was that Derek didn't look like he was displeased with what I just said, and he had a small smirk on his face. His left hand slowly grabbed my neck as he tilted his head and moved dangerously close to my bare neck.

"Get going, I will see your Boss", he said.

I didn't hear any movement behind me, and I assumed those men were still behind. I assume they didn't trust this Derek and I won't blame them.

"Don't I need to try the product before I pay?" Derek said against my throat.

I gulped.

His warm breath fanned my throat, and I shivered. I was about to move when he held both of my shoulders and squeezed them. He was so sluggish as he slowly let go of me and looked above my head to the men.

"Or, you want me to return the goods and tell your boss that you refused to let me buy", he said.

Petty evil man!

Although I still couldn't remember anything about being sold before but this doesn't look right. It was like he wanted to get me for free, or he was up to something sneaky, so I used the chance.

I moved back, spat on him and turned back to look at the men behind me.

"You won't believe he still wants me for free" I said.

All I wanted was to make Derek feel humiliated or insulted so he would not buy me, but I was joking. He looked over his shoulders, and a meaner-looking man walked up to him with a briefcase.

"I will cancel my second order" he said as he glared at me "I think I will have to cut her organs myself"

I panicked.

'Oh snap! '

My heart almost jumped out of my mouth as I watched the men walk away with the briefcase. Without thinking, I kicked Derek in the nuts and sprinted.

I didn't care to know if that was a crazy idea, but I just need to try. Occasionally, I would look over my shoulders, and no one was following me!

That was strangely creepy!

I stopped to look around but found no one, not even a single soul looking in my direction, as everyone was busy dancing. It was as if Derek didn't care about me or gave up on me.

Yet, I didn't give up searching. I continued looking around, I checked every corner until I saw his cold gaze, Derek's cold gaze.

"Screw you" I mouthed as I showed him both of my middle fingers before running off.

I hadn't gone far when I slammed into someone.

At first, I thought it would be Derek, and I wondered how he could move that fast, but when I looked up, it was a different person.

"Hello, dear", he said with a smile on his face.

He looked less intimidating with a tinge of an accent.

He had a smile on his face all along, and I felt I could call him a big, friendly giant. He was tall, huge, and had the look of a teddy terminator.

I didn't know when I did it, but I did.

I grabbed his arm as hard as I could and looked straight into his eyes. I knew I didn't know who he was, but I felt so safe with him, I felt extremely safe, and even if I wasn't sure, I asked.

"Can I trust you to help me?" I asked him.

He looked around and back down at me. His brows almost connected as he took me to a corner and began to check my body. It was like he was checking for any mark or anything on my body, and for no reason, he looked so scared or concerned.

"Mate?" He whispered uncertainly as he attempted to carry me "Mate" he said again, this time he was excited.

Before I could know what was happening, he wrapped his arms around me and carried me tenderly. He was trying hard not to 'accidentally' strangle me as he placed weird kisses on my head and hair.

"You are my Mate", he said this time as he moved me back and looked at my face.

Surprisingly, I was satisfied.

I didn't feel any kind of fear at all, as all I worried about was Derek.

It could be his accent, and I wonder didn't question why he kept calling me Mate. What I wondered was why he seemed as happy as he kept checking me before removing his shirt and putting it over my head. Well, I felt too tired and hungry to react, so I just complied till I was wearing his shirt like a huge maternity dress over the one I was given before.

I felt comfortable in his shirt, and staring at his body was so inviting. His abs, his hairy chest, damnnnnn! I have never seen anything like this before, not like I can remember anything about men.

"You like it?" He asked.

I swallowed.

I looked away from his chest and then to his face. He looked as if he enjoyed being the centre of attraction. But what he wasn't happy about was the person behind me. Although I felt that it would be Derek but I felt I should still look.

"Omega Rex", Derek said as he glared at the man I was with in disgust.

Omega Rex?

Was that his name?

What sort of name is that?

I looked up at Omega Rex and stared silently at him. He looked like he could take Derek, and I would not doubt that because they had the same body build. What I didn't understand was the look of total hate and disgust on their faces.

"I think you have something of mine", Derek said.

Rex frowned. He moved me to his back as if protecting me and growled.

He growled like an animal, making me wonder if I was dreaming or something.

"She is my mate, Alpha Derek," he said.

I was about to ask what he meant by mate but stopped when I heard another growling. This time it wasn't from Rex, so I assumed it would be from Derek. I looked out from behind Rex and saw Derek looking strange. His eyes were black, he was possessed, and his skin was hairy. And his fingers were....

"Holy smoke!" I exclaimed as I began to move back.

No one paid attention, and it was as if we were invisible.

"That makes us two. But, if she is your mate, do you know her name?" Derek asked.

I gulped.

I never told him my name.

"Come here, Elena" Derek said as Rex remained silent.

He glared at me then Rex's grip on my upper arm.

"Walk away, Rex, I am commanding you as your Alpha" Derek said.

That growling, that rage, that anger all died up immediately Derek said that and before my very eyes, Rex abandoned me. I felt betrayed, I felt broken, I felt dead as I watched him walk away without looking back at me. The floor suddenly grew soft and I felt I was going to sink, well, I didn't sink.

My body went limp as everything went black and silent.
