Chosen By the Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 31: Sense of Smell

I don't know how long I was out, but now that I let my eyes flutter open, I felt like I've completely changed. My looks, scent, and everything about I see has warped. As the neon orange lighting clouded my vision, I squirmed my eyes in pain.

Feeling stings of soreness took over my body, I slowly propped up. I groaned the whole time until I was able to look around. I couldn't even curse upon seeing the metal bars before me since I was too weak.

Just then, a stinging pain hit my guts, and I could tell it came from... "Wolf's bane..." I muttered weakly, worried about Ariana and me.

I felt like crying, but I knew I needed to be strong. I needed to call for help. I needed to call Parker.

I curled into a ball and whimpered my mate's name on our bond, terrified that this would be the place where I'd die. To soothe my gloom, I just kept Parker's face replaying in my mind. He's the only one that can bring me comfort, so might as well do this too.

"Parker, please come save me..."

Just then, I heard footsteps approaching my spot. Though still in pain, my body jerked up into a sitting position, my eyes locked ahead.

"Ha! Look at you..." A gravelly voice called out to me. As the lights illuminated his face, I saw the ugly man. Judging by his rugged appearance, he was surely a human. A freaking hunter.

Another voice then rumbled, "I told you she's pretty sweet-looking." Then, the other man stepped on the frame too. They were both so big that I felt scared for my life.

"Where a—am I?" my voice broke as I asked. Still, I should at least act tough.

The ugly man chuckled, "Don't be impatient, kitten. You'll find out soon enough.But for now, I'd like to have fun with you."

"Hey! Boss said not to touch her," the other one said.

"Relax! I'm not going to do anything more than what the boss would hate. I just want a taste..." he haughtily stated and looked at me all hungry. Then, he used the keys he had to open my cell. I couldn't process the scene before me and felt so scared.

"Hello, kitten. Don't bite, or else you won't like what'll happen."

His daunting voice echoed as the buckle of his pants fell. An ugly sight covered me, and I couldn't help but feel like throwing up.

No, this can't happen. I won't let another man touch me other than Parker. Propping my feet in place, I looked at him all determined. He was about to pull his shaft out of his underwear, so I quickly stood up and launched myself towards him.

"What the—" he muttered as I traversed next to his foot. I then grabbed his thighs and wrapped my hand around his balls and pulled the motherfucker. I put as much pressure on them as I could even though I was hella weak.

"No!" he screeched in pain, his face looking stressed, so I finally let go and watched his ugly ass fall to the floor. "Don't ever do something like that again!" I yelled with all my might. I then heard the other guy laugh. "Told you!" He then approached me with a tray of food.

"I'm sorry about this asshole, kitten. Don't worry, though. That'll teach him." After saying that, he put a tray of food next to me and dragged the other pervert out of here.

"Fuck! That bitch hurt me good!" I heard him scream before closing the door, and I finally felt quite relieved. My eyes shifted to the tray of food next to me. I was hungry, but I couldn't eat, so I decided to curl into a ball in the corner and use my remaining strength to call out Parker. Ariana was a big help too.

After a few moments of locating, I could feel a tug in my gut. An image formed in my head, and it was almost as if I were there, in Parker's office. However, everything seemed wrong. The whole place was trashed.

My stomach churned in fear. I called out frantically, "Parker! Parker! Parker!"

Just when I thought he wouldn't answer, a faint rumble took over me. Then, I heard his voice, clear yet far, say, "Aubrey? Where the hell are you?!" His voice instantly made my eyes well.

"Some men took me! I'm underground in some kind of cell. Please..."

"Have you seen anyone since you've been there?" he asked, the worry in his voice evident.

I then let the image of the two men pop into my mind and I could tell he could see them as well, "You need to talk to Dennis. These guys... They injected me with wolf's bane!"

"I'll find you, Aubrey... But I have to tell you one thing..." Parker's rough voice said, and I grew worried.

"What is it? Parker! What?!" I repeatedly asked, but I couldn't hear him any longer. Where the heck did he go? "Parker!"

Just then, I was brought back to reality and the bond crumbled before my eyes. Fuck! This must be the work of the wolf's bane.

"Hah!" I gasped and my body propped up from the curling position. My muscles tightened, and I saw the man from earlier again.

"Hey! The boss is ready to see you now." The big man grumbled, opening the door to my cell and dragging me out of there against my will. Boss? Who is this boss he's talking about? "Keep your head low, kitten," he warned and we began our descent from the cell and outside.

Out of fear, I kept my head low as I heard heaps of grunts from everyone we passed by. We took many twists and turns and we eventually reached the office.

As we entered the place, I witnessed the man I hated the most come to life from here.

"Hello, Aubrey."

My stomach churned in fear almost immediately. How did this happen? How could this be possible?
