I Will Escape novel Chapter 25

As we are walking through what to me looks like a little town, I see children running and playing. As they run up to the Alpha they say, “Hi Alpha! How are you? Who's this Alpha?”

He smiles at the children, “This is your soon-to-be Luna and my wife.” I stop in my tracks when he said his soon-to-be wife. There is no way I'm marrying him and being the leader to any kind of pack running beside him. He's a monster. 

I go mute. The children come up and grab my hand. I try to snap out of it, but I am blank. I just say, “Hey guys,” not sure how to respond. I just look at him in surprise not sure how to react to him.

I say nothing. Not wanting to piss him off by embarrassing him I stay silent. He grabs my hand and says, “Sabrina, say hello to the children.” As he grips my hand tight I put a fake smile on for the little children as I give tickles and high-fives. Their smiling little faces make me smile and I actually enjoy myself. I wish I was as happy as these children thinking their Alpha is a superhero instead of knowing the monster he truly is.

We continue walking. I do see a different side of this monster. How he cares about his pack. As I am lost in my thoughts he says my name out loud, and I don't hear him until he claps his hands in front of my face. I jump snapping out of my daze I respond, “Yes Alpha, sorry I was in a daze. Were you talking to me?”

“Yes,” he said as he pulled me into an alley. He was holding me up by my throat. I whimper out that I was sorry for not focusing on him. “Now Sabrina, are you trying to start something with me?”

“No,” I respond, “There's just a lot to take in like being outside, meeting new people, I'm just taking it all in. I didn't mean to act like I was ignoring you. Sorry Alpha.”

“Sabrina, you need to pay attention. I don't want anyone to think that it's ok to disrespect me. Do you understand me?”

“Yes Alpha, sorry it won't happen again.”

“Damn straight it won't happen again! There will be severe consequences. Now, Sabrina, start acting like you're a ball of fucking sunshine do you understand?”
