True Love
Chapter 15

-Eve, I want you to pack that bag right now, we’re leaving before dawn.

-But where to? We don’t have any money.

-Where we’re going we won’t need money, or so I hope.

-What place is that?

-Where that young man who saved me took me.

-What? -What?

-Shh… -Don’t shout Eve, it’s best if we speak very quietly.

-All right, I’ll trust you. -Are you hungry?

-You have food? -Yes.

-Yes, this morning I found a new pizza box untouched and I kept some slices here. -I’m sorry it’s cold and hard. Sorry it’s cold and hard.

-Never mind, it’s better than nothing.

She ate the pizza slices voraciously, her sister gave her a warm smile that even though she didn’t know it calmed her down. She had that special gift that just one of her smiles forgot a lot of her problems and she felt like she was at home or wherever they were. She pulled a small green floral bag out of the wardrobe as she began to pick out clothes for both of them.

-You should pack warm clothes, it’s freezing out there.

-Okay!

She continued to put in perfectly folded clothes in silence. Shery continued to eat a little slower as she looked out the window telling herself that everything would be fine.

-Soon I’m going to have you in my bed Shery Loon and I’m going to enjoy the moment my naughty little one.

Finishing this last word with a mischievous smile on his lips, Daren, savoured his near victory at having the woman he wanted under his power and dominating her as he pleased.

Nothing would give him more pleasure than to have them, he would see to it that neither of them ever saw the light of day again, they would remain in his mansion at all times. They were very cunning, and even more so when Steven told him that they had money stashed away.

Apparently the father had no idea what his daughters did outside the house, but he did know, he was aware of what the girls were doing at home. From Shery working in a filthy coffee shop to Eve with her classes ahead of school. He got up from his office chair and headed for the exit door, it was time to finish some unfinished business at home.

He lived in a large mansion, decorated in white and gold. With a huge driveway a few kilometres away from the building. The car left him in the driveway and he was greeted by the servants at all hours, the storm did not cease.

It should be an interesting night, he thought. After dispatching his people, he went down to the basement of his house, where he had had underground dungeons built for a few people who stepped out of line.

Many men guarded the entrance, but when they saw him they stepped aside and opened the oak door. Down there it smelled of iron, damp and mould. But what difference did it make, there he had only wretches who would not last long alive.

He approached the second cell of the five he had, looking at a young man who was there. All beaten up and without energy to move enough. His feet and hands were chained to the floor covered in the filth and old b***d of other prisoners. He had serious serious wounds, and some of them already seemed to have become infected.

-Hello Derek!

-Who are you? And why did you bring me here? The young man said to him with his head downcast.

-Who I am doesn’t matter now, you won’t last long. And why are you here, it’s easy, you made a big mistake, boy.

-I don’t know what you’re talking about! His voice sounded lower and lower.

-You touched something that belongs to me and you’ll pay dearly for it.

The boy looked up to see the man who was threatening him. Only for a few seconds, to return to the same position he was in.

-I don’t know you at all.

-Shery, ring a bell? Hearing that name, Derek remained silent.

-The bitch! He whispered. -Yes, I know her, we went to the same school. He laughed a little.

-Did you enjoy what you did?

-I didn’t achieve my goal, but it amused me to have hurt her. What does she have to do with you? Are you her lover? After all, she was common knowledge.

-She is my wife!

The young man raised his head again, but this time his gaze reflected fear as he saw the Machiavellian smile of the man behind bars.

-She never said she had one. Poor you anyway, if you’re her husband. She’s a whore, and she’s unfaithful to you.

-You think so! But don’t worry, you’ll pay for her suffering.

-So she survived! -So she survived!

-That’s right…

-What bad luck…

-Are you not afraid of what he might do to you? -I’m almost dead already.

-I’m almost dead already.

-That’s good!

-Wait! ….

But Daren was going up the stairs into the house. Whatever the man down there said, he would not be spared what he had in store for him. His men had beaten him out of his house when he found out what he had done to Shery.

While she had disappeared from the scene, he himself had gone there personally and it wasn’t too difficult for him to replace out where the naughty little girl was. This Derek had confessed at the point of blows what he had done to the girl, and what had happened.

He only told her that a boy had interrupted him by beating him unconscious. What a curious piece of information. He had a lot of work to do after all. And it was all getting more and more interesting.

-What are you two doing here? Megan asked in confusion. -What about the girl?

She’s gone… She… Well she’s at home now. Said Ethan sadly.

-I’m glad to hear that, she’s with her family now, they’ll take care of her.

-I doubt it, her house didn’t smell like an ordinary home. It all seemed very strange to me as she came in through the window of her house, why would she do that if it was a normal home? And there was a lot of noise inside, as if they were having a party, you could smell alcohol for miles and weed. The truth is that I’m worried about her.

-I think you’re exaggerating a bit, Ethan. His friend told him. -It smelled really bad in that house, but that doesn’t mean she’s in danger.

-So is the girl safe or not?

-I don’t think so. And I’m going for her tomorrow.

-Are you out of your mind? Dad will be back in a few days.

Either he’d replace her or he’d lose her, he couldn’t afford to. Besides, Dom was very anxious.

“You must get her out of that house,” his wolf was telling him.

“I will. Tomorrow.”

“Shery’s in danger.”

“You felt it, didn’t you?”

-Of course I’m an old man.

He kept thinking about how he would get her out of there, he couldn’t just barge onto the property and drag her out. He had to replace a solution that night.

-If you’re going to get her, I’ll go with you. His sister told him resolutely.

-No! No way you’re going. JB told her.

-And who do you think you are? You have no right to demand anything from me. She said angrily with her arms up in arms.

Ethan looked at them both with a hidden smile. Despite all the problems he had, he couldn’t help but be a little happy that his sister had finally met her match.

Although, well, it was his best friend JB, he was a special case, he was also the son of the Beta, not a bad match for the daughter of an Alpha. But if he wanted to be with his sister he had to give up his life of debauchery, his father Marcus would never allow him to make his daughter suffer, much less him, even though they were best friends.

I understood the reason why he hadn’t accepted his moon yet, it was Megan, and that’s why she was so furious with him. It was understandable, she was a jealous she-wolf, her male was flirting with others and not taking his responsibilities seriously.

-Enough with you two. -What’s your problem?

-None. They answered in unison.

-Of course! -First, I’ll go alone to get her, she’s my girl ok. Secondly, JB, you’ll stay here to take care of Megan and not to raise suspicions in my absence.

-Don’t even think I’ll let you go alone.

-I know how to take care of myself.

-But we don’t know anything about those people, the truth is that if I believe you that something weird is going on there, I didn’t like that house. That’s why I can’t let you go alone.

-I’ll go too, then. Megan insisted.

-And I already told you not to go, woman. JB told her with a superior tone.

-But what about you?

-Megan, JB, that’s enough… I’ve made my decision.

He left the couple alone, who were still arguing in the kitchen of his house, to go take a hot bath and try to rest. It had been days since he had been able to do so. He rubbed the bridge of his nose, his sister and her friend could be a pain in the a*s.
