Chapter 179
Aria’s POV
He didn’t respond. I tried my earlier tactic. “Please, I really need to use the restroom, please”.
He glanced at me through the rearview mirror, seeing the expression on my face, he stopped the car.
“I am a man and you are a woman anyway. I am a stronger wolf than you.”
I didn’t argue because deep down, I knew he said the truth.. He was bulky and huge. Even if I shifted into my wolf and tried to fight him, he would still overpower me because I was still a bit weak from the incident that happened two days ago.
He came down and opened the door for me. Then he undid the silver chain.
His eyes flicked to my simple, comfortable outfit, the kind I preferred since giving birth to Lana. Clothes with pockets. And thank the Moon Goddess for that.
When he was scouring our environment, I slipped my fingers into my pocket and found my phone. My heart pounded as I tapped the emergency shortcut.
It didn’t work.
Damn it.
Either we’d driven out of network range-or the signal was being blocked.
I hid the phone again, keeping my expression flustered, innocent.
“Alright, get out the car”, he said.
But I didn’t move. He glared at me. “What now?”
“I… don’t have tissues.”
He tossed my bag at me. I used the moment to shove the phone into the bag as if that had been its place all along. Then I pulled a tissue out to keep him fooled.
He checked the bag, saw the phone inside, and smirked. I knew he was going to search for it, just to make sure I wasn’t harbouring any escape plans.
He threw the bag back and growled for me to get out. Then he started watching videos on his phone, disgusting laughter echoing inside the car.
Good, he was distracted.
I stepped out.
The gravel gave way to waist-high grass. Each step had to be careful and calculated. No obvious tracks. I moved slowly, pretending to search for a private spot.
Thirty feet away, I saw a bent tree that had dense brush.
Then, I slipped behind a trunk and ran.
My wolf surged forward in my mind, pushing my legs faster.
Run, run, run-do not stop.
Branches whipped at my arms. The air grew colder under the tree canopy.
The only place this isolated place leads to is Crescent city.
A red-light district.
And beyond that, open sea.
He’ll either dump me for the sharks… or sell me.
