Faithful

Chapter Five

"WHERE IS SHE!" Viktor's voice screamed. I felt my cheek being touched causing me to begin to come round. "GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OF MY FIANCÉ!" Hugo shouted. "Oh you're fiancé... did she agree to marry you before you raped her?" Viktor scoffed. I sat up to see two angry looking Alpha men look like they were about to rip each other's heads off. "Viktor I had no idea you speak French," I yawned. He turned his head to look at me. "Annabelle," he sighed in relief.

I rubbed my eyes and stretched. "How are you feeling?" Hugo asked. "You haven't got the right to ask her that!" Viktor shouted. Here we go again. I got up, allowing them to continue their angry rants whilst I made myself a coffee. "I'm feeling much better now, I had a pill and a nap Viktor," I replied, taking a sip of my coffee. "Good girl," he purred, "but have you ate today?" I had guilt written all over my face. He sighed, "why has no one made sure she's ate something today... she probably won't eat all day now."

Josie came up saying she'll make me something but I quickly turned it down telling her the thought of eating right now makes me feel queasy. Viktor just pulled the 'see what I mean' face at Hugo. All of a sudden a rather stern looking middle aged man walked in. "What is the meaning of this, this is my home and the Bratva have no right to barge in!" He screamed.

"Actually I have all the right considering you kidnapped my fiancé!" Viktor argued back. The man looked baffled. "That is utterly preposterous!" The man denied. I giggled and waved. "Hello... actually I was kidnapped by your mother and nephew sir," I laughed, "oh and raped by your son... and I killed like four of your guards, yeah it's been a fun 48 hours." The man walked over to me. He had the same black hair and brown eyes as Hugo. "Mother..." he screamed. Josie walked over proudly and said, "she'd make a fine wife for Hugo."

I just took another sip of my coffee. "I recognise you..." he said looking at my face. "Nice to finally meet you, my name is Annabelle... Annabelle Brewer," I smiled holding out my hand to shake his. He took it and then replied, "the girl from England that was kidnapped six months ago." I nodded. "And my fiancé!" Viktor bellowed, walking over to my side and pulling something out of his pocket. "Oh look the forged note... god it doesn't even look like my handwriting does it?" I giggled. He also pulled out my locket and my ring and placed them on me.

"I'm just going to have to put another tracking device in you again so I stop loosing you!" He laughed. "Awww come on... I don't want more injections!" I complained, "and it's my fault people keep kidnapping me." He chuckled and kissed my cheek. "I worry so much when you're gone," he whispered, "it's time to take you home kitten." I smiled and hugged him tightly. "I love you," I added. He picked me up into his arms, "I love you too Annabelle." Hugo's dad stood there looking utterly ashamed and Josie looked like she was about to cry.

"I've got an idea!" I squealed in excitement, "why don't we just form an alliance!" Everyone looked gobsmacked. "This way I can come and see Josie often for tea and cake!" I added. Josie looked as excited as I did and cried, "all I wanted was a granddaughter and this way I can have one!" I got off of Viktor and gave her a big hug. Hugo's dad smiled saying, "I don't think I can refuse now... if you'll forgive my boy." Viktor looked at me seriously, "if you forgive him I will." I thought for a moment. "He helped when I had a funny turn so all is forgiven," I smiled.

Viktor shook Hugo's dads hand and went off with him to make it official but not before kissing me and telling me he wouldn't be long. Hugo came over to me once they had left the room and sat beside me for a moment. "You're truly perfect for each other... the way he looks at you is the way I hope you'd come to look at me," he sighed, "with this alliance I'll be here to protect you even when he doesn't want me to." I smiled at him. "You're help will always be appreciated... especially in nine months time," I replied.

"What happens in nine months?" He asked which made me laugh. "The Stepanov clan will declare war trying to get ahold of the girl their boss wants to marry," I explained. His cousins came forward. "That girl being you I guess," one of them laughed. I nodded. "Oh and there's always the chance the Moretti clan declare war as well as their boss wants his woman!" I giggled. "Once again you?" Pierre laughed. I nodded again. "Is there anyone you haven't stolen the heart of?" Hugo asked, "well we'll all help protect you."
