Chapter 3.

Estella’s POV.

A loud howl breaks the silence in the forest as my body shivers. Everything is so creepy, just standing and waiting for the beasts to come. I can hear their heavy foot steps hitting the ground around me as I pray I won’t be taken, when all I can feel next is hot wet breath on my face. "I’ve been waiting for you, Mate."

I gulp hard and I feel my body lift off the ground.

"NO!" I scream. "You can’t take me!" I try kicking but he’s too strong.

"Yes I can little mate, and I am. I’ve been looking for you for years and now you will be mine." He claims as I just start crying and don’t stop.

The beast sets me down while tears continue to pour down my face. He takes off my blind fold handing me my cloak back as I wrap it around myself quickly, it’s dark and I blink tears out of my eyes trying to adjust to my surroundings as his hand land on either side of my body making me tense up.

"My beautiful mate." He says as he wraps his arms around me squeezing me tightly and I burst in to tears again, I feel him inhale deeply against my neck and I shiver wanting to scream and run away, my fear rises as my mind races. I’m going to die I think to myself.

He gently places me back down and begins to wipe the tears from my face, and I’m staring in to these bright green eyes. He’s gorgeous. I sniffle and pull myself away to check my surroundings once again, it looks like we’re in the back of the car but there’s a divider. Everything is black leather and smells like the rain forest mixed with burning wood.

"Could I bring my cat?" I ask softly through my tears, I need to at least ask.

"We can stop for a few minutes to grab some of your things to bring with us back to my home.” He states and I feel my stomach flip to his words.

I turn and watch out the window while trying not to cry, I tell him where I live and we arrive within a few minutes. Before the car stops I have the door open and I’m running towards my house but I can’t even reach the door and the beast has already stoped me, my breath hitches as he opens the door for me to go through.

"Misfit!" I yell running inside. She comes sprinting over to me as I catch her in my arms. I go upstairs and begin putting a few dresses in to a large duffle bag from my closet, I realize I’m still crying when a few tears land on my hands. Taking a deep breath I grab my jeans, jogging pants, shorts, sweaters, socks and some shirts cramming as much as I can in to the two bags. I grab my bra’s and panties as well as my cute black flats and then go to the bathroom to get my makeup and toiletries filling the last of the space. I look in the mirror and see my big messy braids, I throw them aside and run down stairs to finish grabbing misfits stuff.

I finish grabbing the rest of my things when I notice the beast playing with misfit and my heart begins to race, he could kill her. I watch him closely as he moves her feathered toy back and forth smiling while she chases it, I clear my throat grabbing his attention and I become nervous and my eyes go to the floor.

“Ah, I’m, I’m ready I think.” I stutter out quietly as he nods picking misfit up. I close the door behind us and I turn to take one last look at my home, this was the first place I was able to call home that was all mine and now it wouldn’t be mine anymore.

We begin to drive I look out the window and start to cry again, I can feel the beasts eyes on me the whole time while I try to stop the tears from flowing. All of a sudden he pulls me to him and I burst out once again, uncontrollable tears flowing harder then before, I let him hold me in fear of moving and making him mad. I guess I fell asleep because I wake up to the beast carrying me up these big stone stairs. I look around and I notice the whole building is made from stone, it looks like a big castle. Misfit runs around his feet chasing us as we go.

We go through a huge wooden door and it’s a big hallway lined with arches and other wooden doors, he brings me through one near the end of the hall and it’s a huge room bigger then my whole home. The windows go from floor to ceiling with long white shimmery curtains flowing to the floor. The bed is a light purple covered in pillows of all sizes, the floors are dark hard wood and compliment the room perfectly.

"Do you like it?" He asks softly as shivers flow through my body.

"It’s beautiful." I choke out walking over to look at the gorgeous forest through the huge windows, it’s breath taking. The darkness falls across the land making the trees look black like the silhouettes in a painting, it’s mesmerizing staring out in to the perfect image, it’s almost to beautiful to be real.

I feel the beast’s hands on my hips from behind me, he leans his head down to my neck as my body stiffens and I feel scared.

"I won’t hurt you." He whispers and the shivers start again. I try to take a deep breath as I feel the tears start to trickle down my cheeks.

"Lets take a bath." He requests and all I can do is slowly nod.

Off to the side of the room is another large door he goes through and I start to follow. Why is everything so big here? I think to myself, why are the beasts so big? I enter the bathroom and I’m speechless, I see a huge quartz bath tub in the middle of the room. Everything is black tile and the shower head is over the bath with no curtain, the more I see the more I’m in love. The whole place is so beautiful and a strange wave of comfort overcomes me.

I hear the water start running and the room fills with the most amazing smells and I turn and see the beast pulling his pants off. My jaw drops, I’ve never seen such a beautiful creature before, every part of his body is so smooth and firm he’s gorgeous. He resembles a god, a strong tall beautiful god.

"See something you like." He smirks snapping me from my gaze. OH MY GOD he caught me staring.

I’ve never felt so embarrassed before, it’s like I couldn’t peel my eyes away from him. His muscles are so firm, his skin smoothly placed over his body forming perfectly. His olive skin tone looks sun kissed, almost glowing.

I nervously fumble around taking my black pumps off and letting my cloak fall to the floor around me. I stand there in just the little black dress playing with my finger tips.

"I’ve never been naked in front of a man." I say looking to my feet feeling embarrassed and I feel my cheeks get warm knowing the crimson colour that just crossed my face. He smiles again walking over to me, I see his large member and I look back down again blushing harder as I feel him pull my chin up to make me look at him with his finger sending sparks across my skin.

"Beautiful.” He says pulling my face towards him as he kisses me softly, he gently pulls away still staring in to my eyes. His fingers glide across my skin sliding my straps down allowing my dress to crumple to the floor on top of the cloak, he picks me up to place me in the bath while not breaking eye contact with me. The whole time sparks flow through my body from his touch and it feels amazing. How can this man, beast, make me feel like this when we’ve only just met. How can he make me feel so amazing yet so intimidated? I think to myself as he climbs in the bath behind me, my fear now easing away with each touch.

I lean forward as he places his hands on my back rubbing in small circles and my body begins to relax, his touch sends electricity through me and I moan leaning forward more, loving each movement he makes on my skin.

"What’s your name?" He asks me as his hands continue to roam.

"Estella, and yours?" I respond softly.

"Alpha Collins." He answers as the shivers return, I think about it for a minute.

"What’s an Alpha?" I ask trying to remember what was said about their society in school, we used to learn stories of the beasts but most of it was all legend.

"Well I’m the leader of my pack." He answers proudly.

"An Alpha is the strongest wolf in the pack, he is the leader." He says as I feel his chest rise and fall with each breath.

"Wolf?" My eyes go wide and my stomach does back flips making me nauseous, the beasts are wolves.

"Yes my pack, we're werewolves, we protect your village from worse things. Theres many packs like mine, but they are all below ours. My pack is the largest and strongest, we lead the other wolves and keep the treaty’s with the other villages." He explains.
