Taya's POV
I awake slowly. My head is pounding and my chest is really sore.
I start to look around. Hoping the memories in my head were just some sick nightmare.
The image before me confirms that it wasn't a dream at all. I was really kidnapped.
I'm laying on a bed, one of my ankles tied to the bed post. I look around me. There's a night stand with pills and a bottle of water. I'm assuming for my headache. Though I'm not stupid enough to take them. There is a closet and a dresser. Everything is purple and blue. Except for one wall that is completely blank. Plain white.
I notice that there is a poster of my favorite band hung up behind me. This person must have been stalking me, how did they know my favorite colors and my favorite band?
I touch between my legs holding my breath while I check for any signs of assault noticing my clothes were different. I was wearing spandex Nike shorts and a Nike sports bra.
I start trying to untie the knot around my ankle. It's too weird and I can't figure it out.
Then brilliant little me gets an idea. I take out one of the thumb tacks that was holding the poster up and start trying to saw through the rope.
It's really freaking thick rope and it took me a minute to make any head way at all. All of the sudden something snaps and the rope has finally loosened. I slip my ankle through.
I get up and look for some shoes. I find some boots in the closet and put them on. Then I hear voices.
It sounds like the guy from last night and a strangely familiar voice. I run back to the bed and place the blanket over myself and pretend to be asleep.
"She should be waking up soon, right Max", the familiar voice said.
"Yeah, within the next hour or so Alpha", the guy from last night said. I guess his name is Max.
"Good, I'm getting anxious. I need her already", voice one said.
The door opens and I feel my heart stop. I force myself into a steady breathing pattern, feigning sleep.
I feel a hand run down the side of my face. I so badly want to open my eyes and look at the person touching me.
"Dude, we should leave until she wakes up. Imagine how freaked she'd be if you were just staring at her after being kidnapped", Max said.
"Stop saying kidnapped. It's more like I'm forcefully borrowing her until she falls in love with me and never wants to leave", voice one says.
I swear I've heard that voice before. And fall in love with you voice one? Yeah, it's happening. My sarcasm laced mind is urging me to tell him where to take his love but, I remain quiet. These people are crazy. No telling what they'll do next.
The guy stroking my face, voice one, kisses my forehead then I hear the door close. I wait for a bit then get up and quietly make my way to the window.
It's all other houses and forest, but I'm really high up, like maybe the house I'm in has a billion stories and I'm on the millionth.
Okay. It's an exaggeration but still. I'm very high up. I walk to the door and see that there is a set of stairs going down. I run until I'm outside. Then I run to one of the houses and knock on the door.
The door opens and Jessica opens it. Jessica Jessica. Bookstore Jessica. God, I have never been more happy to see her.
"Oh dear girl, what's wrong" my boss questions me.
Breathlessly I tell her what's happened, "Some guy kidnapped me and told me that his Alpha needed me and I'll explain it later, could you please just call the police"?
She looks shocked then almost regretful.
She walks towards a phone that is propped up on the wall, I'm assuming a landline. She dials a number that seems way too long to be 911.
"Alpha, your mate. She's here", that stupid old hag whispers into the phone.
I'm confused for a second then remember that Max called voice one Alpha. I turn to run, feeling betrayed, and bump into a rock hard chest.
Before I see anything I'm grabbed and placed over a strong shoulder.
"Thank you Jessica. I couldn't stand it if I lost her", familiar voice one says.
That tingly sensation is back in full force. My whole body is buzzing. Still, I kick and beat at his back until we're back in the room I woke up in.
Who is this guy? I felt so helpless and angry. Also betrayed. Tears ran down my cheeks as I tried to calm myself down. Why did Jessica turn me in to my kidnappers?
I'm finally put on the bed and I look up to see this 'Alpha' that everyone has been mentioning.
My eyes meet with beautiful dark blue ones, so dark they could almost pass for black.
"Mr. Cave", I gasped.
