When I decided to visit the club, which was ironically called 'The Lycans', I dressed for the part.
Emma had said this could be my impromptu bachelorette party, and we had a good laugh about it. We drove to the city along with Emma and another theta girl, Melanie.
Bobby being all possessive mate had insisted on accompanying us, but we wanted a girl's night out. We were in the human part of the town where the presence of wolves was nil, and we could handle human males easily.
Once in London, I was about to be mugged while returning late. All I needed were my claws. The look of terror on that prospective mugger's face was priceless. Harming a human is banned since we live in secrecy, we are not supposed to reveal ourselves. However, we can do so in self-defence and emergencies.
I had decided to be a little risqué -
I wore a black tank top that was meshed and a short red plaid skirt. Not too short, I preferred not to feel self-conscious or attract unwanted attention. It was short enough to keep it interesting and long enough to be modest.
I felt sexy and stunning by the time I had left, along with Emma. The club was packed as usual with gyrating bodies. After four shots and a lot of dancing, I was taking a break.
A drunk stumbled over to me near the bar, "Hey, you want to drink, gorgeous?" he slurred.
I could smell the alcohol and the overpowering smell of his lust.
'Just another annoying human,' I thought.
"I am not interested," I said and turned to move away.
"Darling," the man whispered huskily, "Shall we go back to my place for tonight?" I could feel him pressing his long hard cock against my ass, rubbing it back and forth enticingly.
I wanted to throttle him right there, but we cannot harm humans. There is a law against it.
I pulled away and placed hands on my hips, "Why can't you understand a simple No. I am engaged."
"Relax, I was just leaving." He glanced apologetically at me and left.
I shook my head, annoyed. Someone tapped me on the shoulder, and as I turned around, I heard someone whisper," Hello? Smells like chloroform to you?" and everything faded into darkness.
I heard the metallic click of handcuffs being closed around my wrists and then around my ankles. Chloroform does not work on werewolves for long. It knocks them out for a few minutes, but that was enough to kidnap me. The shackles were silver-lined. I knew it instantly when I felt it irritating my skin, and I was unable to break them.
I was bound and gagged. I could not move or shift. Likewise, I could not believe this was happening to me. My kidnappers were werewolves. I was getting their scent, and they were probably rogues.
"Throw her phone out," a voice from the front rasped.
"Are you crazy!" came the second voice quietly, "She is Alpha Rick's sister. She is an unmated Alpha female. Do you know many would be eager to pay whatever we demand?"
"So, we'll sell her?"
"That depends on who pays the highest. Alpha of the Shark moon pack has been looking for a female for years, his mate is barren!"
I cringed at those words and cursed the day I decided to return. I tried to understand why I was here. It was not because of my mate. This came as a relief to me.
'I told you he is not a bad person,' my wolf cooed.
I rolled my eyes, here I was stuck in a cabin, I could either be killed or raped or sold. Yet, I could not stop thinking about him. There was unexpectedly a deep sadness in me when I thought about never seeing him again. A few more hours passed, and I dozed off.
I was woken by the sounds of commotion.
Shadows crossed the little windows in front of the cabin. Ragged curtains prevented me from seeing who was out there. Fear had me clinging to the pole I had been tied to. Expecting the worst, I curled in a corner, closing my eyes. I braced myself for the worst. I would not give up without fighting.
