True Love
Chapter 34

She kept looking until they were lost in the darkness and the thicket of the forest. She tried desperately to stand up, but only managed to sit down, she was so dizzy and her head hurt like hell. Tears ran down her cheeks. Her sister was right, something bad was about to happen, she should have listened to her.

A few minutes later… She heard footsteps coming towards her, she tensed up. Because she didn’t know what was out there. Until she saw him, Ethan. He was excited and agitated.

-Eve. He said in surprise, kneeling down beside her. – Where’s your sister?

-He took her. He said between tears.

-Who?

-Dad’s boss. He answered again between hiccups, snot and tears. -He took her…My sister…My poor sister. That man is bad Ethan.

He got up and started sniffing, but there was no trace of her. How could two scents disappear just like that? He looked at Eve, her nightgown in tatters and all dirty. Her wound had to be treated quickly, it looked serious.

-I’ll find her, I promise. He took her in his arms and lifted her up.

-No! You must go after her, leave me here.

-There is danger if you stay here alone. I must take you home.

-No! There are huge wolves over there, your sister… -God! You?

-I’ll explain everything to you there.

She looked at him with eyes like saucers, she was scared. But who could blame her, she should have told him the truth the same day he took them home. Maybe then they wouldn’t have left the house. Arriving at the mansion, everyone was helping those in need. The wild wolves were gone, many had died and the bodies were being collected to be burned.

He entered the house, where, JB was tending to his sister’s wounds while the albino was bandaging her foot. The boys looked at him with Eve in his arms and furrowed their brows when they didn’t see Sher.

-Where’s Shery? his sister asked anxiously.

-He took her.

-What? No, we have to go look for her. She tried to get up but her pain prevented her from doing so.

Ethan deposited a tearful Eve on the couch, while JB went over to check her wound. She was in shock, she didn’t speak, and only looked in one place.

-Deysi, who is that man? Ethan asked, turning his back to her.

-I don’t know… But I know he’s a white wolf.

-That’s right Ethan, he was white like Deysi, with blue eyes.

-He’s a f*****g Alpha. shouted the young man.

-I know… He’s very strong, he almost made me his submissive. She answered embarrassed.

-Is he one of your people? Someone who would have revealed himself to your father.

-Never! She said honestly.

She didn’t understand how a white wolf could be responsible for all that slaughter, and only want to take one human. Having an Alpha of his own species under his roof.

-I told you, he’s Dad’s boss. And he’s not an albino like that one. Deysi pointed with her chin.

-What are you talking about? He must be an albino without transforming. The albino replied in surprise.

He’s not… He’s a normal person, with cinnamon-coloured teas and green eyes.

-Impossible.

-I don’t understand anything, Deysi.

-All white wolves are usually albino, that’s why our fur and eyes. But the one that doesn’t have that skin tone being a human and when he becomes a white wolf, well, there is only one wolf of that species.

-Who?

(…)

She didn’t know at what point she had fainted, but suddenly she found herself being roughly thrown onto a huge canopied bed. She sat up and could only look at Daren wrapping her naked body in a towel.

She didn’t say anything, she thought that if she did it would draw his attention and he might do something to her. His body was stained with dried b***d. Where were the wounds those wolves had inflicted on him? Which by the way were Megan and Deysi, what world was he living in?

-If you’re done waking up I want you to take a bath, you stink like that damned wolf cub.

-No!

-No? He said turning around. – You think you’re going to do whatever you damn well please you little girl? You know what it cost me to bring you here, and everything I had to give up. You better be worth it.

She swallowed hard, she didn’t even want to imagine what the man intended to do to her. And with those threatening words it was obvious that nothing good was coming.

-If you’re not going to say anything else, go take that f*****g bath and I’ll burn that f*****g nightgown. He said amused.

The girl gets up and heads for the bathroom, praying to all the gods that Daren wouldn’t go in the bathroom. But since she didn’t trust him, she showered as fast as she could and wrapped herself in a huge towel. When she came out, she was alone in the room. Not knowing what to wear, she searched the wardrobes and there were only Daren’s damn clothes. Disgusted and disgusted, she picked out a sweatshirt that looked new, so she put it on. She went back to bed.

-Eve, Ethan… I may never see them again. She began to cry. -I hope you both get to be happy.

The bedroom door opened and closed again. Daren was back in just a pair of trousers, exposing his bare chest. Shery wiped away her tears and grabbed a pillow to try to protect herself, though she knew it was a waste of time.

-What the f**k are you crying about? Don’t tell me it’s because of that son of a bitch wolf. He threatened her. But she didn’t answer. -So you’ll keep quiet? Very well.

Daren climbed onto the bed and grabbed her ankle, she pushed him away and tried to run from his hands but the pressure he put on her hurt her so badly she thought he had broken her ankle. She screamed for him to let go but he just laughed.

-The more you resist, the more you will excite me.

-Let me go, please. She said crying.

He took the pillow off her chest, while he took her hands and put them above her head. With his knee he spread her legs apart and settled in between them.

-At least you were good and didn’t give yourself to that bastard, believe me I would have killed you if I had known.

She screamed as she tried to shake him off. Daren pulled her sweatshirt all the way up, exposing her to his leering gaze. She turned her face to the side, she didn’t want him to look at her, she was disgusted just knowing he was touching her. She felt Daren’s hands run over her innocent body, and horrible memories of what had happened to her in the alley came to her mind.

She wept inconsolably, beginning to resign herself to the fact that she would be raped by this man. No one would save her this time. She wanted to die and be free once and for all. She remembered Ethan’s smile and words, “I love you, I’m deeply in love with you,” it comforted her to know that at least someone really loved her.

After a while she felt her body being invaded by strong and bestial thrusts, she was not prepared for so much pain. It was as if she was being torn apart from the inside. All her innocence had gone to shit in that instant. She screamed from the pain Daren’s savage thrusts were causing her, the pressure on her wrists was enormous. Maybe it would leave marks. She could hear him moaning as he tore her insides apart.

Already she wished he would pull out and leave her. She hadn’t opened her eyes for a moment, not wanting to see how she was outraged. Until the nasty voice of her rapist spoke to her.

-Open your f*****g eyes and I’ll f*****g watch. He said as he continued to ram her brutally. But she didn’t do it.

And he, by way of punishment, penetrated her harder. In the end, he didn’t know when, but she had fallen asleep or passed out, it was all the same. She woke up lying on the bed, alone. She sighed in relief, she didn’t know how many times Daren had raped her but she was grateful he was gone.

She pulled back the sheet and what she saw was shocking, Daren didn’t have a shred of delicacy. The sheets were covered in her b***d and so were her legs. He had dummies everywhere, not to mention the bites about to break his flesh. She cried, cried like she had never cried in her life. She felt wretched and dirty. She would never get rid of that feeling.

(…)

Deysi had told Ethan, her father and the rest of the household that there were only a few wolves of Daren’s kind. For they ruled over the minds of the wild wolves and were their creators. How he created them was not yet known, it was a mystery, he said. And that therefore, he was that son born of a white she-wolf with the great wild wolf of the mountains.

Everyone had been puzzled because they still could not believe that he was hidden for so long in that village, and another reason why he wanted Shery? She was a mere human.

-Why did he take the human? Marcus asked, scratching his fledgling beard.

-I don’t know that. But he did let me know he loved me too.

-From you I can understand, he wants you to procreate. But the human?

-He’s obsessed with her! He wants her no matter what, forever. Eve said in the distance, with tears in her eyes.

-But why? asked a frustrated Ethan.

-Because he likes the innocence my sister radiates.

Ethan clenched his jaw, he knew where this was going. Damn it, Shery was at risk. And he had no idea where to start looking.

-You must rescue my sister before it’s too late. Eve pleaded.

-We’ll do what we can, girl. Marcus replied.

-That’s not good enough! The girl ran for the stairs.

-Father, we need…

-Ethan, you know how risky it will be to search for that girl. There were more wild wolves than we could count. Not to mention the few we were able to kill.

-I won’t let them hurt her. I reproach him.

-I know. And we will find her, but you must be patient.
