Enslaved By The Alpha

—MAYA

“Maya!” Austin shouts my name. “I’m here. Your brother is here to save you.” “Wake up, sport,” Lucas says. “Stop playing with us. Let’s see that smile!” “Let her sleep, guys,” James whispers. “She needs her rest.” “No,” Austin disagrees. “I need to make sure that she’s okay.”

Tawake from my dream with a start, hoping to see my brothers in front of me. To my disappointment, I’m still not home, and my brothers are nowhere in sight. The dream felt so real that I couldn’t wait to see them. I missed them so much. I missed my entire family. I couldn’t wait for the day to see them again.

I’m surprised, however, to see that I’m in a bed and not tied to a chair like I usually am. My body is wrapped in a warm blanket, and even though this seems to be the room I was locked in earlier, everything seems so different about it now. It makes me wonder if I’m still dreaming.

The events that inflicted pain on me earlier suddenly resurfaced in my mind, and I gasped in horror. I grab the sheets and look down at the bed; I didn’t want to be in the same bed that Kane slept with that other woman in. Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. However, the bed beneath me is a different one. The sheets have been changed, and even the shape of the bed is different. But this was the same room, so why was the bed changed? From what I saw, the bed was in good condition when Kane placed me in it earlier. So what the hell happened?

He was so sick in the head that I expected him to leave me in the będ he slept with her in to make me feel worse about myself. I can’t think of a single reason why he would change it.

Well, there could be one reason, and that’s him finally having a conscience, but that was impossible; Kane did not have a heart; he was too busy being an asshole to feel any remorse. So then why did he do it?

And why am I not in chains? What did he have planned again?

The last time he had me this free, he wanted me to try and escape, only to bring me down some more when I realized that it was just another stupid trap.

Kane was too evil to let me rest in here peacefully.

My body felt like I had just been in a huge fight, one where I’d been severely beaten. My eyes burned like they were on fire, and I could barely open them with how much I’d cried earlier. I can’t remember the last time I had ever cried like this before.
