Chapter 71: He Was Always Faster Than Me
(TYLER)
When my eyes flutter open, I’m in the van. There’s nothing around me and the smell in here can only be described as that of decaying rodents. Both the alphas are outside and seem to be having a serious conversation. I glance out. It is then that I notice they drove me off out in the middle of nowhere. All I see is an alley and a deserted road.
I try not to panic, but that is easier said than done. I have no idea who gave the order to take me. Screaming for help won’t do me any good here. They might decide to off me here and leave me with a slit throat down the alley. That’s a chance I’m not willing to take.
The first alpha made it clear that their boss wants to use me to get something from Sasha. I’m only hoping that whatever it is they want will be something that Sasha will be willing to give them. If not, I’m afraid I might die like the rodents.
I pray that what I’m smelling is rodents.
I slowly sit up. Everything around me spins and my head is throbbing alarmingly. Nausea hits me and my stomach rolls. I grunt, twisting my body and dry heave on the floor of the van. My body is covered with sweat, and I’m trembling by the time my stomach relaxes.
I hover my fingers on my neck around the spot where that asshole alpha jabbed with a needle. I feel a tiny bump, and the injection site hurts. My bladder is calling but there’s no place to relieve myself. The door is tightly shut, that only means that I won’t be leaving them anytime soon.
I feel stupid for not trying to help myself. And even if I could, I doubt I’d manage two burly alphas. I have no idea how I’d go about that considering I have nothing to defend myself. I don’t have any sort of training for this kind of scenario. I sit back, waiting for them to come back to me.
For a long time, they don’t come but eventually, the rusty door scrapes open and the alpha who first approached me comes to sight. I drag myself towards the door when I spot a familiar face striding in my direction, headed straight for me.
