FADED. A Werewolf story. (Book One)

VI

I am trembling and shivering my voice hoarse. Before I can comprehend anything, the weight is instantly removed from my body.
Animalistic growls surround me. When I finally open my eyes, I see him, Gabriel fighting with the man who is their boss both releasing guttural sounds like wild animals.

In no second, the boss is down and Gabriel runs to me. The other two men are already taken out by the other men he came with. I am beyond terrified after watching this. Gabriel is a monster too.

He removes the gag from my mouth and scoops me in his arms bridal style. Even if I wanted to fight him, I can't. All I want to do now is die peacefully. That is when the darkness takes over.

"Come here baby, I know you like it." the man traces my jaw with his filthy fingers.
I am disgusted by his cheap beer breath and leer look on his face.
He instantly launches his body to mine attacking my lips.
"Let me go. Leave me alone you filthy animal." I kick and struggle but he has me put and helpless.
"Leave me alone," I bite his hand hard.

"Slut," he slaps me and it fuckin stings.
He goes to unbuckle his belt and I lose it all.
"Am going to teach you disrespectful whore a lesson." he smirks.
"Let me go, let me go,"

"Leave me alone, leave..."

I hear someone call my name and that's when I wake up suddenly.
I am breathless and sweaty when I open my eyes wider. I see the concerned look in Gabriel's eyes. I waste no minute falling into his arms helplessly. He doesn't return the fervour at first but after a while, he pats his hand on my back softly.

In his arms I feel safer. I was almost raped and right now I need all the comfort I can get. The door immediately bursts open and we immediately pull apart. It's Olivia.

"Honey, are you okay?" she immediately hugs me.
"I am fine. It was just a bad dream." I murmur.

I realise that I am back to the confinement of my room. Guilt immediately kicks in. What would have happened if they hadn't found me in time?

"Excuse me." Gabriel glances at us and then walks out. Olivia continues her marathon of questions.
"I am fine, okay." I mutter for the umpteenth time
"What where you thinking Lyka? Those men could have raped you or done something worse.."

"Did you think I would stay in this hell hole my entire life." I argue frustratedly.
"No one said you were a prisoner Lyka. We want you to understand what is at stake here."
