Chapter 2 Misery Loves Me

Part 1 Kept in chains

I was out for a long time. My eyes could not adjust easily and I felt a lot of pain throughout my whole
body. I didn't know what was happening but surely I was somewhere in the dark.

"That's ok, now sleep. Tomorrow you will feel better," a woman's voice echoed through my brains.

Then I heard another male voice saying "what got into you? Now we are in deep shit."

I couldn't listen to the conversation any longer as I have lost consciousness again.

I groaned in agony as I felt myself waking again. I opened my eyes slowly but I could only see blurred. I
noticed I had a better sense of smell and I could hear better too. What's going on?

I could clearly hear a conversation that was outside the room I was locked in.

"Please, do not tell anyone. It must have been the haze. Don't you feel it? It felt stronger than usual this
time and I couldn't hold myself any longer. He made me feel uncontrollable somehow. I think he is more
than just a stranger to me coming to think of it. There is definitely a connection. I could feel my wolf
howling inside my chest like it urged for him."

That was definitely Mei, but whom was she talking to? Also, what the hell is she? I couldn't forget last
night's images. Fangs, shadows, and, blue eyes glowing at me, no, but then the second time they
looked Red. Yes. I remember that. I was not going crazy. All of this is real. I looked at myself and was
naked. Naked in the dark with chains around me. The wound was gone but bloodstains were still there.
I felt super hungry and I could smell food from the kitchen.

"Let me out," I screamed. "Let me out," I tried again.

Then I hear the door creaking and my whole body turned to look at who came in.



"Where am I? You better tell me now!" I barked.

I felt furious and Uncontrollable. That is not the usual me but I was terrified. I pulled at the chains trying
to release myself. Mei came in and walked slowly and carefully towards me but she didn't get too close.

I could smell that she had food in her hands. She put the plate on the floor and pushed it towards me. I
could hear her heartbeat and her breathing and that made me feel aroused. I could not control myself
at all. I closed my eyes, looked away and tried to breathe hard.

She sighed and was walking back to the door but I screamed at her.

"No. You must tell me, everything."

I looked at her once again.

"Soon. Soon I will tell you. I promise. Now eat and rest."

I followed her with my eyes until she was out of the door. I was pissed off and I felt like screaming but
instead, to my surprise I growled. I growled deeply and strongly, feeling every vibration of it coming
from my chest. I scared the shit out of myself, wondering if this could all go away with just a deep
sleep.

Mei came back in with a shocked expression. I noticed her eyes turning yellow as soon as we made
eye contact. Then she bowed down at me and started sobbing.

"Alpha. You are our long lost alpha. It has been years since we had one. Oh my god, I must tell the
others."

She rushed back outside now excited as I kept staring at the door surprised by her reaction.



I started pulling myself trying to remove the chains. Clang! One out. I pulled harder this time and
managed to get both my hands free. Suddenly the door opened with a big bang and there were three
people in front of me, one of them Mei. They all gasped at me and pulled themselves back.

"Impossible," one said to the other. Not just an Alpha. He is stronger than the others. How could he
have done that?"

I stared at them at first, then I got angry.

"Let me go!" I growled and I felt the pain coming from everywhere so I fell to the ground with a moan.

I screamed as my eyes were burning like I had chilli wiped in my eyes. I growled and huffed and then I
sensed a change in them.

When the burning sensation stopped I opened my eyes staring straight at the two ladies and one tall
man and saw their eyes widen. They gasped and Mei put a hand on her mouth. I was on all fours as
my legs were still stuck to two chains.

"We are so sorry Alpha, but you need to stay. You are not in control of yourself yet. We will be here to
help you. We will do anything you want as long as you promise to keep us safe when the time comes,"
the young redhead girl told me.

I looked at her straight in the eyes and growled and growled again. She ran away sheepishly and Mei
looked at me with sorry eyes. I was breathing heavily and uncontrollably.

I could barely look at her. Something made me pull towards her, yet I was upset.

"You are making me feel some kind of way," I said with my normal voice. I looked away trying to calm
myself down and I could hear her walking towards me.

She stopped right in front of me and knelt to come to my level.



"Me too," she said shortly.

I could smell the strong scent of her filling my nostrils. The smell of fresh cinnamon and oranges. I
turned to look at her.

"Mate." she blurted softly like in contemplation, holding my shoulders tightly. The guy still standing by
the door opened his eyes wide.

"What? So, that makes you the Luna!" he said aloud.

She turned her face towards him and they stared at each other for a while.

"No wonder I felt without control. My wolf called out for my mate."

She then turned towards me and blocked her mouth with her hand as she forgot she was not supposed
to talk like that in front of me.

"Wolf? What do you mean? What am I becoming? Tell me. Its an order," I growled.

She didn't seem to have felt any fear in her, even after blurting out the words in such a manner. Her
eyes kept looking straight in mine.

"Alpha, you are becoming a wolf, but don't worry. I will take care of you," she said hurriedly as she
placed one hand on my face to caress me.

I grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her towards me. The strong smell coming from her made me
uncontrollable. I brought her down on the floor so she would slide underneath me and kissed her hard
feeling my arms flexing as I held one hand on the floor.

I heard the door close as we were kissing and I grabbed her waist to get her closer to me. I couldn't
control my emotions.



Suddenly I feel a sting on my left side of my belly like a needle pierced my skin.

"Aaaaaaaaaarghhh," I yelled and growled at the same time.

"I'm sorry Luka, but I had to," she said, still grasping the injection between her fingers.

"What have you done to me?" I asked weakly as I was feeling dizzy. Then I closed my eyes shut once
more.

"He is waking up again Jake, Steph!" Mei shouted.

I could smell her and feel her hands on my cheek and my head was resting on her lap. I opened my
eyes and waited for the vision to adjust.

"What are you doing to me?" I said weakly, still half asleep.

"Shhhhhh, shhhh, don't worry. I am here. I will protect you don't worry. When you are ready I will
explain, but for now, you have to learn to accept your wolf again," she tried to calm me down and now I
was feeling more awake.

I stood up slowly from her lap, almost falling back down, and rushed to a corner holding myself in a
crouch. I covered my face and my whole body with my arms feeling ashamed, naked and confused. I
could not hold myself from crying. I was just a journalist with a story to tell if only things didn't turn out
this way.

"I know how it feels like," she sighed breaking the few minutes of silence. "Please don't feel that way.
We all felt that way when we turned for the first time".

I turned my face just enough to look at her still covering it with my hands. I growled lightly and turned
my face back to hide it. I felt her standing up and I knew that she was coming towards me from the



strong scent that was getting stronger. She stopped right next to me and lowered herself down to come
to my level.

"Look. I'll tell you my story. Ok?" she said, reaching for my arm. "I was out into the woods gathering
some flowers. I was still fifteen back then. My mum passed away from an internal inflammation that has
spread up to her heart."

She sighed "whilst I was picking up some flowers for her to put on the grave I felt it coming."

She stopped and gazed at me for a moment.

"My wolf was getting released and I had no idea. I had no one to tell me who I was, and to make it
worse I was alone. A sixteen-year-old birthday girl, with just my favourite dress and a pair of pure white
slippers."

I looked at the place where I was bitten. It closed itself but I had a scar too that I hadn't noticed before.
"I went through the change all alone. I felt like I wanted to peel off my skin and slowly I exposed my
wolf. Once I changed I felt free so I ran and ran until I reached a river and looked at myself for the first
time. The worst part is when changing back into human form. I'd rather not explain that part."

By then I was listening intently to her story and was now looking at her. She smiled and exposed her
beautiful white teeth. I couldn't resist not to smile back.

I felt better now but I remembered that I had to contact my mother as soon as I woke up.

"I had to call mum this morning to put her mind at rest that I'm fine."

She looked at my eyes intently than she nodded and stood up to walk towards the door.

"Where are you going?" I asked her, looking upset.



"I am going to grab you the phone. Don't you still want to call your mum?" she left, closing the door
behind her.
