Beauty and the Beast... Well Not Exactly✔️

21

I woke up suddenly and scooted to the top of the bed. Mariana was standing in front of the bed. "I am sorry. I did not mean to scare you."

I shook my head and rubbed my eyes. "No, it's okay."

She smiled. "My son can take you to the airport today. I set out some clothes for you girls to change into. They were my daughter's clothes so I think they will fit you."

"Okay," I said. "Thank you so much for your hospitality. You've been so kind to us even though you don't know us."

She nodded. "You both seem like some nice girls who are running from something and in need of help. I would never forgive myself if I let you two go off by yourselves."

I smiled. "Well thank you very much. Most people back home... they wouldn't have been so nice to us."

"Anytime sweetheart," she said before walking out of the room and closing the door behind her.

I turned around and started shaking Maggie. "Wake up Maggie. It's time to go home."

She opened her eyes and stretched. "It's time to go already?"

I nodded. "Yeah get up. Mariana left us some clothes." I stood up and grabbed one of the outfits. I stripped from my clothes and slipped on a white maxi skirt and a tight red crop top. I brushed out my hair with my fingers before hitting Maggie with a pillow.

"Oww," she whined. "What was that for?"

I shrugged. "You wouldn't get up. Hurry up."

She groaned and stood up. She changed into a colorful flowery maxi skirt and a black crop top. "Okay let's get food."

I chuckled as we walked out of the room and into the kitchen with our clothes in hand. "Hello miss Mariana."

"Hello girls," she said. "You both look lovely."

We smiled. "Thank you."

"Sit sit. Eat before your trip."

She handed each of us a plate with an omelet on it. We both took a bite and moaned at the amazing taste. It was filled with cheese, onions, tomatoes, and bacon- it was so good. "Mariana this is so so good." Said Maggie.

She smiled. "I'm glad you girls like it. Now eat." she handed us each a small bag to put our clothes in.

We did as we were told and completely finished our breakfast. Nicolae walk in the room and we stood up. We hugged Mariana goodbye before we followed Nicolae to his pickup truck. I hopped in the front with Nicolae and Maggie climbed in the back. We were driving for about two hours when a dog ran in front of the car. Nicolae slammed on the brakes stopping a few feet in front of the dog. I looked closer to see the dog wasn't a dog, it was a wolf; Xavier. "No" I whispered.

About six more wolves surrounded him, three on each side. Xavier shifted while the others stayed as their wolves. "Raven?" asked Maggie.

"Both of you stay in the car."

"What's going on?" asked a scared Nicolae.

"Just stay in the car." I opened the door and stepped out of the car. "What's up Xavier?"

He gave me a blank stare. "You left me."

"You really thought after kidnaping me that i'd stay with you?" I scoffed. "You're more delusional than I thought."

He growled and clenched his fists. "Don't speak to me like that. I am your king."

Now it was my turn to growl at him. "You are not my king."

His eyes shifted from blue to gold then back to blue. "I don't want to hurt you, Dulce. Now come home with me and I won't have to."

"My home is the southside of Boston," I said. "My home will never be with you."

He growled at me. He looked towards the other wolves and they nodded before walking towards me. My eyes widened and I stepped backward. "They won't hurt you." The wolves surrounded me and the car. "Now come with me, Raven."

I chuckled. "Never." I brought my hand up and snapped my fingers.

The wolves disappeared and Xavier's jaw dropped. "How did you do that?"

I shrugged and smirked. "I've got some tricks up my sleeve," I told him. "You claim you love me, so if you really love me let me go."

He sighed. "I can't dulce. I do truly love you and I'm too selfish to let you go."

"Please?" I whispered.

"Dulce either come with me willingly or I'll just take you," he said. "Your choice but one way or another you are coming with me."

"I'll never love you."

His eyes bore sadness for a moment before he covered it up with a blank stare. "That may be the case, but you are and forever will be mine."

I breathed out an annoyed breath. "This is between you and me. Let them go."

He shook his head. "Maggie is Lorenzo's mate, I won't keep my best friend from being happy. And that boy was helping you get away from me, he will be punished."

I growled. "You won't lay a hand on either of them."

"What's this with you always ready to protect other males?" he asked. "I should be the only man you care about."

I rolled my eyes. "You live in the past Xavier. The man I care about the most in this world is Donnie, not you."

He growled lowly. "I didn't want to do this Dulce." His hand opened to reveal two needles. The next thing I know one needle is flying through the air before sticking in my neck. I ripped it out but not before the liquid entered my system. My legs started to go weak under me. Before I fell to the ground Xavier grabbed me and set me on his lap. "You gave me no choice Raven."

"Fuck you," I whispered before I shut my eyes and fell into yet another unnatural sleep.
