Chapter 10

Miguel's POV

I woke up to find myself in an unknown place, a pounding headache was making itself known.

The headache would have given Ben Carson a run for his money. 

I had a very strange dream last night. The headache and unknown room made the dream more believable, maybe am still dreaming?

Not surprising, I felt the urge to relieve myself.

Trying to stand up from the bed I was lying on.

I found out I couldn't move, my hands and legs were tied to the bed with strong new chains.

Where am I?

What am I doing here?

How in God's name did I come here?

I recalled walking into the forest when I heard a painful whimper that sounded strangely like a wounded soul and the strange girl I met in the forest.

Oh my God!!!

I touched the exact place I felt pain the most, and my hands became filled with dried blood the instant I touched the bump. 

Does that mean…?

I tugged frantically on the chain.

It rattled, but still didn't budge.

Why on earth will someone kidnap me? I don't have any enemy.

I make sure not to leave strings of enemies behind as we moved from one part of the continent to another.

Not that am not a lovable character, but come on, in this world you don't choose to have enemies, some people will just hate you for no justifiable reasons.

I've seen someone who killed another without any reason at all.

What will my parents do when they find out I've been kidnapped?

My mom will be mad with worry.

She was angry enough with my earlier behaviour and adding to her blood pressure isn't something I want.

I tugged more on the chains, instead of breaking, each tug gives me a burn.

The pain from each tug isn't something a person will want to experience.

The rattling of keys brought my attention back to the door.

I swallowed a lump as I tried to envision the way it will go.

The movies I watched and stories I read didn't make my case different.

Each depicts torture for the kidnapped, their portrayal of kidnap scenes doesn't help my case.

The door opened, and a hulking man walked in.

His countenance was enough to make me piss my pants, and talking of pants made me realize I was only putting on my underwear.

I breathed out a sigh of relief when I saw my shirt hasn't been tampered with, no need to flaunt him with my assets.

I smiled coyly at the bulky man.

I was told my smile can get me out of any situation, but this situation isn't like my smile has gotten me out of. I haven't been in a kidnapped situation before.

Instead of maybe smiling or feeling compassionate for me, the man glared at me.

“How are you feeling?” He asked in his gruff cigarette voice.

“Feeling great after being hit on the head by a girl I tried to save and finding myself in an unknown room with an unknown bulky man, partially naked,” I said sarcastically.

He raised a brow.

I guess he's as dumb as every damn bulky man is _no offence to any bulky person out there, am just stating an observation, you might be a different case from your twin counterparts_ 

“I don't understand what you're saying, I only asked how you're feeling.” he looked everywhere but at me, his cheeks red from embarrassment.

Since he's as dumb as a post, why not use his ignorance to my advantage?

“ You know what? I will feel excellent if you will kindly as release me from this constricting metal” I raised my hands to add emphasis to my words.

“Am sorry I can't be of help to you. The Alpha specifically requested we keep you confined to bed until his arrival.

Alpha? Like the alphabet? Why will someone refer to himself as a word in the alphabet?

Come to think of it, what's my relationship with this so-called Alpha?

Why will he request I be kept confined until he returns from God knows where?

I guess it's time to find out.

"Who is your Alpha, and why is he keeping me here?

What does he have against me?” I looked at the bulky, expecting an answer.

“Alpha Dess rules the Akuru pack and as for his reasons for keeping you here, I'm sorry, I don't know. All I know of is his request to keep you here until he returns from the Alpha's meeting,” he answered as he walked towards the door.

If I can't get information about why am here, I can at least ask about the backstabbing bitch, who bit the hands that fed her.

I know she wasn't wounded as she pretended to be, this  my kidnap wasn't an impromptu affair, it was thoroughly planned.

If not, how is it possible for them to know when I will be alone and how best to get my attention faster?

“Who brought me here?” I ask as I look around my surrounding.

He looked at me like I was the dumb one instead of him

“I did dumb arse, I was the one that brought you to this room” a light bulb clicked on my head, since he's the one who brought me here, does that mean he's with the key to these chains.

“Since it's obvious to me, you're with the key to these chains, why not help me unlock the chains. I want to answer the call of nature.”  I fakely grimaced.

 “ You know how that is, since you're also a male.”

He looked at me indecisively, probably contemplating the probability of me escaping while on it.

“Why should I trust you? You might try to escape if released.”

I shook my head, “I won't, I swear on my sister's pride that I won't attempt to escape.” I fake promised. There's no need to tell him I don't have any sibling, talk more of a sister to swear on her pride with.

“Ok, I trust you to keep the end of your bargain but know this if you attempt to escape we will hunt you down, and you won't like what our Alpha will do if he gets you.”

I gulped at the threat, "I won't, I promise.”
