Think Again Alpha

Chapter 20

Weeks pass. Maybe a month. I've given up hope. It seems we are going to be stuck in this world forever. I don't know if I can take it any longer. Meeting up with Manus everyday, having him kiss me... touch me. Although he hasn't taken things too far, my body still feels dirty and violated.

He tells me that over time my innocence with turn into experience. He doesn't realize that I don't want to him to touch me or kiss me. The other day I tried to tell him but his wolf started to get angry. I didn't want to push him too far. Especially after Mom's warning. I don't want to get physically hurt. I'm already broken down emotionally but physical pain will take me over the edge.

I lie in the dark cell surrounded by silence. Georgia must be asleep because I can hear the light steady breaths coming from her direction. I can't sleep. My mind keeps racing. Every time I close my eyes I end up having a nightmare about Manus.

I feel selfish, but I miss Jayden. My heart aches for him to be near me but I don't know if I would be able to look him straight in the eye again. Once he finds out about Manus, he will definitely choose Ashley over me. I mean why wouldn't he? It's not like she ever kissed another guy while they were together, she is the Beta's daughter, she is head over heels in love with him, and she is a full werewolf. Not to mention she has the body of a goddess and I was a bitch to him before I disappeared. Why would he choose someone like me over someone like her? He wouldn't.

I rest my head on my arm and let out a silent cry. What happened? Things were just starting to work themselves out back home. Now it's all ruined. I've been gone so long that Jayden has probably already forgotten about me and moved onto Ashley, realizing her full potential.  Plus his dad would be happy with that choice.

Suddenly the door opens and I look up through teary eyes to see Hank standing there. I wipe my eyes dry as he approaches me. He bends down to undoes my chains and handcuffs my wrists, the normal.

I stand from the ground and follow him out of the room. I glance down and see Georgia still sleeping. She looks so peaceful, so young, so carefree. Not a bruise to be seen on her body, thank god.

I follow Hank. He leads me up the stairs and outside. That's when I notice that the day is ending and the sun is beginning to set. He usually brings me out during the day. I wonder what Manus has planned for me now. I sigh and continue my trek toward the trees. Right at the edge of the woods, there is a small picnic blanket set up with some candles surrounding it.

Hank allows me to walk the rest of the way by myself. I meet Manus at the blanket. He smiles happily and walks over to me. He leans down and kisses me on the lips. I feel my stomach turn in disgust but I ignore it. The feeling is all too familiar.

"Please, my dear. Sit."

He motions for me to sit on the picnic blanket. I comply with his wishes without saying a word. He sits down next to me and opens up the basket he has. He pulls out a bottle of wine and pours two glasses. He offers me one and I take it from him. I take a small sip and put it down.

Then he grabs a sandwich and splits it in half. He gives me one and takes the other half for himself.

"Eat." He says.

I do as I'm told and eat the sandwich. I struggle to keep it down but I manage. The thought of food isn't that appealing, especially when I'm with Manus.

"I wanted us to have a romantic evening together. Do you like it?" He asks.

"Yes." I say quietly.

"You have been a woman of little words lately." he states.

I just look at him and keep quiet. He smiles and closes the basket, moving it to the side.

"I can't say I don't like it." he says.
