CHAPTER 05 The Encounter and the Necklace

~Lilian's Pov~

I was curled up in pain when the door opened to reveal Nick. Slowly, I lifted myself from the ground, braced myself for what's gonna happen.

Nick came into the room, and he stood watching me for a moment.

"Is there something you want?"I whispered. He wasn't making any attempt to touch me or hit me, he pointed at the door. "You can leave before my dad comes."

"I can leave?"I raised my brow.

I don't understand what he meant that I can leave.

"If you want to leave, this is your chance, Lillian. I want to help you."He sounded sincere but I couldn't trust Nick but he didn't seem like he was lying to me.

He held the door, "You can leave the room."

I glanced at him, and back at my room. Wondering if it was truly safe that I could leave the house.

Nick nodded at me.

"I will lead you out of here, trust me."He stretched out his hand towards me. I know I shouldn't be a fool to take that, but he looked quite convincing.

I grabbed his hand, and Nick smirked and allowed me to leave the room.

We ran out of the house, and Nick escaped the pack house with me, I ran as fast as I could like my life depended on it.

He led me into a small forest outside the Nightstalkers Pack and stopped running.

"You're safe now, Lilian. You can leave, and nobody will come after you."He let go of my hand.

I stared around the thick woods around me and shivered a little. I knew I planned to escape the Nightstalkers Pack when I turned eighteen, and this was it but I didn't know why I was getting scared.

"Can I really leave, Nick?"My timid voice asked.

He nodded with a smile plastered on his lips. "Yes."

I couldn't believe Nick had agreed to let me know, I never thought he would set me free. I decided to forgive him for everything he did to me.

"Thank you. Nick, I will never forget your..."He waved my word off with his hands and chuckled.

He turned away from me and gestured for me to go ahead. He laughed and tucked his hands into his pocket.

I didn't get what sounded funny to him until I saw his friends who had been lingering around, they spoke loudly about who was going to capture me first and claimed me for the night.

I heard Nick making a bet with his friends.

My heart sank into my stomach, this was just a chase-and-catch game to him. That was why he brought me out of the Packhouse.

"Fuck, she's running away."

"This is more fun!"I heard Nick's voice before I fled in terror.

I ran as fast as my legs could go, and I felt a change within my body, my bones were cracking and my body was enlarging. I groaned as the pain shot through my body, I saw myself growling bigger than my normal body size through the glow of the moon.

I couldn't run anymore, and I slipped and fell on the ground.

My head hurt, and my body was getting weak.

"I told you she couldn't run."Nick pants, and places his hands on his waist, they stand before me.

"We got her at once, what should we do? Foursome?"One of his friends with a black long hair laughed.

I lay on the ground before then, defenseless and helpless, I could feel the changes in my body, and it draining every strength that I have left in me.

They tore off my dress, hit me with their fist, and groped me, driving me completely to despair. My body became fully exposed to them.

"N-nick."I sputtered, but he wasn't paying any attention to me as I pleaded with him.

I felt a force surge through me, and all of a sudden my shift accelerated, and I could hear the sound of my bone cracking and my wolf came out of my body and took over.

My white furs glow under the moonlight, having a strip of blue and white, and a force that repelled Nick and his friends. He pushed them away from me about ten feet.

Seizing the chance I got, I desperately fled.

Nick and his friends transformed into their wolf form and chased me relentlessly, they wanted to have me back but I was gonna give them that chance.

I ran faster with the help of my wolf, and we went deeper into the woods away from the pack house.

I stopped running when I heard their retreating footsteps and their incessant curses. They couldn't come further because of the dangers in this forest.

I squatted and shifted back into my human form. The only thing I had left on my body was the necklace, I clutched the necklace in my hand and caressed it gently with my fingers.

I broke down into tears.

I cried for the humiliation I had faced in front of Nick and his friends. I cried because I was sick and tired of everything that was happening to me.

I cried until I couldn't hear the sound of my voice anymore, my legs gave in and I crouched to the ground in a dead faint.

Before my eyes closed, I saw two similar faces with great height, about six feet and four inches tall.

They approached me, I wanted to resist but I had no strength left in me.

Who were they or what they wanted from me? Or were they rogues that have come to take me? Or they were sent by Alpha Jenkins.

At that moment I didn't care at all. I was at the point of giving up on everything.

One of them squatted when he got close to me, his hand touched my forehead as if I had a fever, and he took off his jacket and covered me with it.

My eyes closed, that was probably a dream, nobody had ever treated me that way.
