They Call him Demon

Chapter 7 (M)

Enzo's POV

I sat up in the hospital bed holding an ice pack up to my nose. That bastard of a wolf had slammed my head so hard that I quickly lost a lot of blood and passed out. Luckily Nikolas forced his boyfriend to carry me all the way to Doctor Hazel, who had diagnosed me with a mild concussion. I was going to be stuck here for a few days.

I heard the door click and my boyfriend, Roman Montgomery, walked in with a stern expression on his face. Oh no, he's mad. He roughly grabbed my face and forced me to look up at him.

"Are you fucking dense? Why on earth would you get involved in a stupid fight like that? Did I not tell you before to mind your own fucking business?"

I felt the tears rush to my eyes and they begged to fall down.

"Answer me, Enzo."

I started sobbing, despite my best effort to hold back. I'm so pathetic.

"Y-you did. I-I'm so sorry, Roman. I p-promise I won't do anything like that again. I-it's just that Casper got attacked and I-I wanted to help h-" He slammed me backwards into the bed frame and I cried out in shock and pain. My head was throbbing already and the pressure was making it worse.

"Who's Casper?"

I hated it when Roman used his scary voice. He only ever used it when I did something really bad and he would usually hit me afterwards.

"H-He's my new roommate! He started yesterday and I-I just didn't like seeing him already get hurt. Please please don't be mad. I won't protect him again. I'll do anything you want. You know I will, so p-please. M-my head is hurting a l-lot." I grabbed his hand and looked down at the bedsheets, anxious about what he was going to say.

He let out an angry sigh. "This is the last time I'm letting you off, En. Be glad you're here in the medical unit right now."

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. What a relief. "I love you so much, Roman." I leaned in to kiss him and he pushed me back down with a deep sensual kiss, his hand making its way under my shirt. He grazed my nipple as he rubbed my chest and I accidentally let a moan slip past. He broke it off and it left me hot, panting and disappointed.

"You know I care about you, En. I don't want anyone laying their filthy hands on my precious omega. You belong to me, okay?" I nodded in response. He was my whole world and he always forgave me when I messed up. He's the best.

"Get some rest. I'll come visit you tomorrow." With that, he turned and left without looking back. I hated being apart from him.

He didn't come back the next day. Or the day after. I thought he would since it was the weekend and I felt slightly disheartened at the thought that he may have forgotten about me. Maybe he was here when I was asleep.

I found myself constantly thinking about Casper. He tried to save me. He even shifted when he saw me get attacked, though I'm not sure how since we all had injections to prevent us from shifting before term started. I found myself walking on eggshells around him after our first conversation and I felt self-conscious of the way I ramble on and on when I get excited. I have to admit I was hurt when he said he didn't want to be my friend but I'm probably annoying so who would want to be my friend in the first place? You're lucky Roman chooses to even acknowledge you.

I made a mental note to thank Casper later.

Casper's POV

I couldn't tell if my eyes were open or closed. It was so dark that it felt suffocating and I wanted to claw my heart out so I would stop hearing its thumping.

Where am I? I've asked this question a lot lately and I was sick of it. My whole body felt numb and any attempt to move was met with rattling. But it was coming from above my head. I was chained up again but this time my hands were cuffed and connected to the ceiling. I suddenly longed for Enzo's presence to illuminate the room. I hope he's okay. I can't believe I lost it when I saw him get attacked. With that thought, I replayed today's events in my mind. If it was even still today. I had no idea how long I'd been out.

Alphas really are scary. And smelly. They were going to kill us without a second thought. If I hadn't shifted, I would've definitely died. I really did shift. The other omegas back at the orphanage were already able to but I had failed every single time to even grow a single piece of fur. I heard other people saying that we weren't allowed to shift at Holloway though and that we were each given a shot to make sure we couldn't. Not sure what happened there.

The creaking of the metal door disturbed me from my thoughts. A dark shadowy figure stood in the doorway and his large silhouette was being distorted by my dazed mental state. He flicked a switch and a dim light barely managed to reveal the room which had nothing but brick walls, a marble floor and a singular stool which stood a few meters away from me. The thunderous crash of the door shutting made me flinch.

The figure slowly strode across the room and perched carefully on the stool. No matter how much I squinted, the darkness refused to let me see his face.

"First day at Holloway and already you cause a scene," a smooth deep voice remarked. I struggled to find the saliva to swallow.

"I'm very disappointed in you, Casper. Tsk tsk tsk." This was deja vu. I heard this a lot when I was back at the orphanage and I hated it. Nothing was ever my fault but somehow it always was.

"W-what was I meant to do when those stupid wolves grabbed me?" I refused to sit back quietly. "They were going to rape m-me. I was just defending myself. Why is it MY fault? I was minding my business a-and GOING TO THE FUCKING BATHROOM! I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG SO LET ME OUT OF HERE, YOU SON OF A BITCH! I SWEAR TO FUCK, I'M LEAVING THIS PLACE AS SOON A-"

"What a foul mouth you've got there," he interrupted.

I didn't mean to start yelling but I was fuming. I was the victim but here I was all chained up.

"Let me out of here. Who even are you? Are you that scared that you have to tie me u-"

My head snapped to the side as my cheek made contact with a powerful slap. Before I could complain, I felt a gag and a blindfold being tightly tied around my mouth and eyes. My jaw hurts. I can't breathe. A brutal punch connected with my head and I unintentionally let out a whimper. I instantly regretted running my mouth. I should have properly evaluated my situation before blabbing in front of this stranger, who could really pack a punch.

"I think little Cassy here needs to learn a lesson here today." Cassy?

He grabbed my hair, tilting my head backwards. My arms were still dangling above my head and this position was painful.

"Lesson number one," he whispered into my ear and that was all it took for me to start shaking like a leaf. "Don't mess with my pack."

A crack. Followed by a sharp pain and a muffled cry. It was a whip. Or a flogger. Who the fuck cares what it was, it hurt. A lot.

"You asked me who I was before."

He leaned into my ear once again. His breath was warm but it managed to launch a chill down my spine.

"I'm Damon Crow. Remember my name."
