Mac's POV
I want to leave this part of my life behind. I wanted to move to somewhere new. A place where I wouldn't face judgment, have people trailing behind my back or give me eyes because of who I was. A place where my dad would never find me and most importantly, I didn't want any Joss DeLuca in my life. So I packed my back and ran as fast as I could. The human world is the best place for me right now so that's where I'll be going to.
I had it within me that I would make something for myself when I reached there, and I would blend in just fine.
I though about what I had do, when I finally got there.
I'd find an apartment. When I am settled, I will look for a job that'll sustain my life for the time being .
There was still a dull ache in my head, from where I was hurt in the forest. When the rogue tried to take advantage of me, I pushed every thought of that day away from my head.
I was in a new place and about to start a new life and wouldn't have those types of people in my life anymore.
I finally arrived the human world, the street was puzzling with cars and people, I could spot some werewolves who have blend in with humans. I look for a quiet place and shifted into my wolf form, my clothes still intact.
I brought out my phone and searched for a hotel, one that could fit my budget, I found one, it's an hour drive from where I was standing so I book a car and went there. Standing at a corner, I booked a hotel room to have a rest before deciding to find an apartment.
While in the hotel room, I found some apps that i could have access to find some apartments.
I came across a few locations and most of them were in City Gate.
When I searched the neighborhood online, the first thing that popped up was the number of people who had died in the last two months because of gun violence. Others had been abused by drug addicts. In conclusion, it was a criminal zone.
The last thing I wanted was to associate myself with criminals.
The next apartment was a one room apartment with a kitchen, a living room, and one bathroom. It was well furnished with everything. I only had to come in with my clothes.
It was located in a quiet area, thanks to the stars. I book an appointment, I'll go check it out tomorrow morning. All those years of saving has finally paid off, my dad is going to regret treating me badly, he is going to leave a lonely life.
I took a bath and ordered something to eat, after I was done with that, I decided to sleep, it's been a long day, I'll go out at night to look around.
I fell on the bed and slept. By the time I woke up, everywhere was pitch black, I switched on the light and jumped out of bed, it's time to go out. I went to the bathroom and washed my face, I wore a crop top and boyfriend jeans and a pair of sneakers. I went out the cold air bitting my skin but I didn't mind because this is freedom to me.
I have been here countless times to go dancing in clubs and drink alcohol so knew my way around. I went to a club and decided to drink. Luckily I was smart enough to get an ID card, all those times I use to come here taught me that without an ID I won't be able to enter any club so I made one.
"Your ID?" The bulky man standing in front of the door asked. I showed him my ID card, he took it and looked at it, he eyed me and then gave it to me before stepping aside for me to enter.
The loud music blasted in my ears, the scent of alcohol wafted through my nose. I smiled, this is where I belong, I went to the bartender and order a glass of margarita mix, I gulped down the entire content in the glass and asked for more, one of the best things of being a wolf in the human world is that their alcohol doesn't affect me, no matter how much I drink, I still feel okay.
"Drinking all by yourself, isn't that boring?" A guy asked, he pulled a stool and sat down, I waved at the bartender and requested for two glasses of what I just had, the bartender nodded and started mixing.
"I don't mind drinking all by myself, if I get bored I can go to the dance floor and dance to shake off the boredom." I replied him, he is a human, he wasn't that bad.
"Let me keep you company."
The bartender brought the drinks we both took our glass, this time I gently sipped my margarita, I don't want to look like a drunk in front of the person paying for my drinks.
"Are you new? I don't think I've seen you before." He took a sip from his margarita, his eyes glued on me.
"I'm not new, I've been here before but I'm not originally from here, I just moved here today." I replied truthfully while leaving out some details, life where I'm from.
"I didn't catch your name." He said again, all this talk is boring.
"I don't remember telling you my name."
"What is your name? I'm Lorenzo," His eyes racked my body.
I picked up my glass and drank the entire content, he was boring, I don't like boring people. "Thanks for the drink but I can handle myself." I paid the bartender for the two glasses of margarita I had drank and left.
I went to the dance floor and started dancing, swaying my hips from side, I don't have a big ass but I can twerk more than people with bigger booty.
While dancing I could feel eyes on me, the hairs at the back of my neck stood up. I couldn't pick out the smell or hear the person's breathing because of the loud music and the screams of the people around me, who could it be?
Maybe I'm just being paranoid, maybe it's because I still have the thought that Joss DelLuca was my mate in my mind. I went to the bathroom, I need to empty my blander.
"You know, most girls and boys would kill to sit next to me but I willingly sat next to me and you decided to turn me down." I heard the voice of the guy who I was sitting with earlier, he was standing in front of the cubicle I was in, I could tell because I could see his shadow understand the door.
"Can't you take a hint Lorenzo? I don't want anything to do with you, you can go meet the girls and boys who are dying to be next to you." I replied. I didn't open the door, the next thing I want is to be pinned now and punched by a human with an ego as high as a skyscraper.
He pushed opened the door, I didn't lock it? He pulled me by the hand and dragged me out of the cubicle. I was pushed against the sink.
"What is wrong with you?" I asked, my eyes were as wide as saucepan.
"I am Lorenzo and I always get what I want." He tried to rip my clothes but I pushed and tried to run away but he grabbed my ankle and yanked me to the floor, I fell on all fours with one of my legs caught up in his grip.
He pulled me back, he straddle me, both of my hands were pinned the floor. There was no way for my to fight him because both of my legs were trapped and my hands were caught up in a tight grip, I shut my eyes and waited for him to do what he came here for, after all it wasn't the first time, the first time was when my dad sat and watch when I was being violated, this was nothing compared to that.
I waited for him to do what he came here for but he didn't, instead the weight on top of me was lessened and was carried up bridal style by someone I can never forget their smell, Joss DelLuca.
"Welcome back into my arms my love," Joss said with a smirk.
Joss carried me into his car and drove me to his apartment, I can't believe the second time we met is like the first time we met, I was about to be violated and he saved him again, leaving the person who tried to assault me dead.
When we arrived his apartment, he carried him straight to his room and placed me on his bed, I didn't say a word to him I was just quiet. I didn't complain, I just let him do as he pleases.
"Why do you always land yourself in trouble?" He asked starring at me with something dancing in his eyes, amusement.
"Thank you for saving me again Mr DelLuca but I don't owe you any explanation, I have to go." I tried to leave but he pushed him back on the bed, how dare he?
"You are not going anywhere, you are my mate, your place is right here, in my arms. What were you doing in the club in the first place? Do you know what would have happened to you if I wasn't there to save you?" The audacity, who does his think he is to question me like that?
"And I say thank you very much for saving my life for the second time, if you want me to pay you then sure I'll pay you back but let me the fuck out of here." The deviance in my voice and eyes didn't go unnoticed by him, I could tell by the look in his eyes and the subtle smirk on his face.
"You are lucky I have a business deal to attend to, stay here and don't try to escape. Because I let you escape the first time doesn't mean you'll be escaping from me again this time... Welcome to the human world Mac, you just stepped foot in my territory." I knew it, he let me escape the first time because it was too simple but Joss doesn't know who I am, I'm going to escape him again.
When he left, I didn't waste time, his gate was still open, it seems like the gate man had left to do something. The guards stationed outside were humans, I guess it was his own way to balance both worlds.
I managed to slip through the guards, here he was thinking I couldn't run away from his men, it was easy. I have escaped from my dad many time, it's so easy to escape from his men.
I ran as fast as I could, I flagged down a cap which took me to my hotel. I didn't get a chance to sleep because it's was already morning when I arrived the hotel, I took a bath and changed to something presentable, I packed my bag and checked out of the hotel and went to the apartment.
It was to my taste so I paid for it, this is my new home now....
