I coughed as harder as I could to make the bloody egg came out of my respiratory tract. My eyes started to water as I tried to get my dear life back. A hand came up behind my back and pat me softly which was not even helping. He should pat my back hard so I can spit out the egg. In the struggle, I think I swallowed the bloody egg.

Damn.

"Wa.. water." I asked as I can start to breathe. He quickly passed with a glass of plain water with worried eyes. But later when he saw me recovered from the small tragedy his expression became firm again.

"You okay now?" He took the glass from my hand and place it on the table. I quickly stand up and back away a couple of step from him.

"You!" I pointed at him. "Even though you want to keep me here, you don't have to go that extra! A werewolf? Huh?" So now he wanted to play with me. Am I looked that innocent?

He just sat there staring at me with black eyes. That's started to creep me out. What if he was really a werewolf? What will happen to me? Am I gonna be killed for their food or weird rituals?! Then I remembered he said the word 'mate'.

"What do you mean that I am your mate?" I asked as my feet slowly move a bit to the door. Slowly, slowly I stepped backward.

"It means that you are my mate. There's no other meaning than that." He replied suspiciously calm after my huge fussed.

"I don't understand."

He sighed. "To make this simple, I can say you are my girlfriend." He sipped his water and looked back at me. He was more to observe my reaction from his word.

"Oh, so I am your girlfriend now. Life can never be better." After I mutter the words, someone knocked on the door and the earlier maid entered. She came in with a bowl of fruit, just stood next to the door waiting for a command.

"Clear up the table." Henry demanded. She quickly put the bowl on the table and picked up the plate but she was hesitated to take my plate. Maybe because I barely eat anything. But after then she picked my plate and exited the room. So I am back alone with Mr werewolf.

It was silent for a moment.

"Eat this."

I gave him no answer.

"There's no drug or poison in here."

I still didn't react an inch. He sighed.

"You can be dismissed." He said while walking up to his previous chair where he did his work before. My eyes widen, he just simply let me out of this room. So now, I have a chance to find the exact door to my way out.

I didn't waste any more second to escape. I walked out and follow the path to the private wing. Since I was tired of walking in this massive mansion, I sit on the bench under the dome. The glass on the dome was pretty. Whoever owned this place was rich.

I looked at the room I stayed before. It was at the center in this private wing. There were another four rooms, two on each side of my room. My stomach growled. I haven't had a decent meal since yesterday morning.

Then my eyes sense a movement. The door from the room next to my room was opened slowly. A girl came out of the room. She was in the same height as me, our hair also on the same color and length. She wore a long blue dress.

Since she looked cautious, my feet started to bring myself to her. She turned around and almost jumped in shock when she saw me behind her.

"I.. er I just want to get some air in the garden." She said quickly to me.

"Oh. Do you know the way out of this house?" I said straight to the point.

Her eyes widen. "I never see you here, who are you?"

"I was kidnapped yesterday. That guy brought me here." I just stated the truth.

Her mouth opened. "I was being kidnapped too! It was last week." She said in suppressed whispered.

"Why are you whispering? There's no one here."

"Well, they have a sharp hearing. Their ears are so sensitive with noises."

"So you are not werewolf?"

"Of course not!" She looked around after she said it loud.

She pulled me to her room that she hardly leave just now. I looked around the room. Everything was in deep blue colour with masculine style, I can say this was a guy room.

"Then why are you here?" She asked me while pulling me to the couch in front next to the glass door. She sat beside me pulling her hair to another side casually. My eyes stared at a red mark on her skin. That must be painful.

"I was kidnapped." I replied with 'duhh' tone.

"I mean, how are you here? This is private wing. Only special person can be here. If anyone sees you here, you can be killed." Her face showed a horror gloomy reaction after she said that. This girl was something else.

"My room was next door. Do they really..." I couldn't finish my word when she disrupted me.

"Which one? Wait, you can't be the Alpha's mate?!" She said in rush.

"Unfortunately, yes I am. " Or that's what he said to me.

"I saw him ripped off people's head yesterday morning before he went out for the meeting. Stay away from him! He's dangerous."

I looked at her realizing that this whole thing can be real.

"Was he really werewolf? Are we safe here? Let's find a way out. I don't want to stay here any much longer."I tried to persuade her to escape with me. She could know the way out. Since she was here a week.

"You're the Alpha mate. You will be fine. As far as I understand, everyone will protect you with their life."

"What? Are you joking? That guy already hit me yesterday!"

"He can't! Mate can't hurt each other." She said in disbelieve face.

"Then who did this to you." I pointed at her neck where the red mark was planted.

She placed her finger on the mark. Her tears suddenly came out like river. She was sobbing hard in front of me. I was really bad to deal with this kind of stuff. I was about to hug her for comfort until the door was wrecked down from outside.

There stood a very furious bulky guy. I swear I did see some smoke out from his nose. He was drenched wet in his t-shirt. His eyes were full black, just like Henry when I made him angry. Oh Lord, this can't be good.

"What did you do?!!!"

He growled loudly. I can feel the wall was practically shaking with his voice.

"What did you do to my mate?!!!" He repeat in the same angry growled.

This definitely the end of my life. I can never get out of here.
