CHAPTER 26

OLIVIA'S POV.
As soon as I got to my room, I sank into my bed and began to shiver. When I had arrived at this Black Shadow pack, I had thought that I was free completely from that creepy man that my father had sold me to in the form of a mate. But now it seemed like the joy I felt at being away from the home and surroundings of Alpha Leo was going to be cut short.
I don't want him to find me. Somewhere in my heart, I had prayed to the moon goddess several times for the Alpha of the Blue Blood not to even notice that I was missing not to talk about him looking for me. But, no, it seemed like the moon goddess was bent on not listening to me no matter what I prayed to her about.
Why was he looking for her in any case? It was probably because of how he had always acted creepy toward me, I thought and my teeth clattered together. My heart began to hammer against my chest and I held it tightly as I remembered how he had always tried to force himself on me.
One of the cruelest times that would ever remain green in my memory was the first day that I had first arrived at his new home. I remained unconscious from the stone that I had been hit with. When a hand had continued feeling me and I was too uncomfortable to take it anymore, I had opened my eyes, only for me to see the cruelest Alpha that I had ever come across fondling my breasts.
I had been so scared that I had screamed out loud and scrambled out of his touch. Of course, he had run after me and he had cut me. Then, he had even warned me not to resist him since no one would come over to rescue me no matter how loud I screamed. The unjust treatment had continued until I had acted as if I had fainted.
Much as he kept shaking me, I refused to open my eyes and I figured that he must have been so scared that I was either scared or dead because he got a doctor to check up on me that same night. When the doctor told him that I had merely fainted because I was tired from everything and I needed enough rest, he had let me be.
Although he attempted to force himself on me thrice after that, he had let me be after I made my disinterest known. So, he wasn't the main reason why I was scared. The true people that made me scared of returning to the Blue Blood pack were the male werewolves in the pack.
One time, I had been in the study reading when one of the male werewolves had also walked in to get a book. I had tried to get out of the study to give him some privacy but it had come to me as a surprise when the man had grabbed me by the arm and had asked me why I was acting arrogant.
Even when I told him that I belong to the Alpha, he had shrugged and laughed at me that I wouldn't be able to tell the Alpha about what he would do to me because I would be so ashamed of myself. When I had tried to scream, he had held my mouth firmly. I tried to free myself from the man but he was a lot stronger than I was. The only way I had been able to escape from him was when I had stabbed him in the thigh with the hairpin in my hair. He had let out a loud yelp in surprise and let go of me.
Every time I saw him after that, he had always avoided me and went in the next direction far away from me. Even when the other werewolves who were his friends had asked him why he loathed me, he could never open his mouth to tell them. I tried to tell the Alpha but because I was also scared of him, I had stopped myself just in time.
The most dreaded experience I had at the Blue Blood packhouse was when another werewolf that was supposed to be my bodyguard had come into the room when I was sleeping and he had tried to molest me. No, not true to molest me, he had almost succeeded in raping me since he already had my clothes off and his hands were already on my pants when I had awoken.
To say I had been terrified would have been an understatement, my breath had quickened and I used every muscle in my body to stiffen the whimpers that had tried to escape. I had used my two legs to kick him as hard as I could and ran as fast as I could out of the room but I hadn't been fast enough. His hand has wrapped itself around my waist and flung me to a corner of the room.
Scared, I had whimpered and my legs had collapsed underneath me. Sweat poured down my body as I stayed still as possible. I had opened my mouth to scream for help but no sound came out.
The man had laughed in such a cruel way my hands began to shiver on their own. When he had gotten close to me again and tried to penetrate me, I had finally found my voice and I had screamed so loud that I feared if my vocal box would ever work again.
Suddenly, a hand had lifted the son of a bitch man off me. Fights had ensued, but only for a few moments. The man who had saved me had killed the other man. When I looked up to thank my savior, I saw that it was the Alpha of the Blue Blood pack that I had been avoiding.
"Why did you kill him?" I had asked the Alpha while looking at the lifeless body of the man who had been on me only minutes before.
"You belong to me. I would kill anyone who tries to take you away from me, even if that person is you."
That was the response he had given me that day; a response that had made me shiver in fear of him. I couldn't bear to imagine what he would do to me if he ever laid his hands on me. No matter what I say, it would never be able to justify why I went away from his guidance.
As his words kept ringing back in my head that he would kill anyone, including myself, whoever tried to oppose him. I wondered if he would ever let me off if I told him that someone had kidnapped me against my will. Knowing that wicked Alpha as I did, I was sure that he would not bother to listen to any explanation I have to make.
The moment he spotted me, I was sure that he would order for me to be killed without any further delay. I slept on the bed and wrapped the duvet around myself as I felt cold coming up to fill my body. I know that I should stop thinking about Alpha Leo and his pack and his threat, but I couldn't take him off my mind. What can I say? Even though I was tired of my miserable life, I still wanted to live.
I felt my heart hammering loudly in my chest and I winced in the pain I got. My eyes became blurry and my breath quickened. The last thing I recognized before I lost consciousness was the yellow window drape that protected my room from the sunlight.
What felt like an eternity later, I felt someone moving me around. A bright light entered my left eye and I winced. A deep male baritone laughing penetrated my senses and I struggled to open my eyes but I failed. What had broken the camel's back for me was when I heard the zip of my gown going off and a hand touching me lightly at the back.
I flicked my eyes open immediately and stared right into the eyes of the most beautiful male I had ever seen in existence. At first, the man looked a little surprised to see me looking at him but he quickly masked the look and he smiled at me.
"You're awake? Welcome back, Miss." The man, dressed in a doctor's attire, told me warmly.
"What am I doing here?" I asked in shock as I sat up. When my gown dropped to my waist, leaving me only in my bra, I quickly grabbed the upper bodice back to my chest and held it firmly with my armpits.
"You fainted, Miss." The male doctor treating me answered my question. He held the back of his hand on my forehead and nodded in approval before he brought down his hand.
I took the time he used in checking my temperature to check him out. With his sky blue eyes, auburn hair, straight nose, and high cheeked bone, he looked like someone that had been cloned to life by a sculptor.
"Who brought me here?" I asked him in a curious tone.
The doctor was about to write something in the book he held in his hands but he stopped midway and looked at me.
"The Alpha did." He answered with a nonchalant tone.
"The Alpha?" I asked in a very shocked voice.
"Yes, the Alpha. Why?" The doctor answered while he curiously eyed me.
I cleared my throat loudly before I answered, "Nothing," I told him.
"Anyway, why do you have so many wounds on your back?" He asked me, eyeing the back with a suspicious look.
I turned my back slightly away from his soul-searching look. When I heard a loud chuckle, I looked into the eyes of the beautiful doctor. When he cocked a brow at me in query, I blushed red.
"What happened to you?" He asked again. This time, it was in such a gentle voice I nearly cried.
"Getting whipped every day did that to me," I told him honestly. I didn't know why but I just couldn't bring myself to lie to the man.
"I knew that already. I just wanted to see if you would be honest with me. I saw some wounds there that hadn't healed properly, so I would give you some drugs and ointment to use on the wounds so that they can fully heal." He told me.
"Thank you," I replied to him in a small voice.
"You're welcome." He answered.
I watched as he went to his cabinet and got out some drugs and some ointment. He returned to where I was on the bed and dropped them on my lap. I looked and saw that everything he promised to give me was there. I looked at him and smiled my appreciation at him.
"The Alpha should be here to pick you up soon." He informed me.
I panicked because I knew what he implied by that. If he said that the Alpha would soon be here, it meant that the secret about my shredded back would be out in the open and I had to stop that.
"Doctor?" I called the man.
"Yes?" He answered absentmindedly.
"Can you not tell the Alpha or any of his men about my back or my wounds?" I implored with a pitying look.
He stared at me for a long while before he answered.
"It's your matter and you decide who should know. As long as you take those drugs and the ointment, you should be fine. So, yes, I won't tell anyone since you asked not to." The doctor conceded.
"Thank you," I told him with a sigh.
The doctor only smiled at me to let me know he heard the words. I sighed again as I waited for the Alpha to return for me.
