I woke up to the noise of the engine roaring smoothly down the highway.

Slowly, my eyes adjusted to the dark. My head throbbed with pain and my whole body ached.
I attempted to move my hands but they were scratching against the rough rope that were griping my hands sealed tight.
Finally, I regained sight and soon realised I was in the car sitting next to the hooded man.
What the hell is going on?
Who is he?
I cursed under my breath and tried to untie my hands.

"You're awake." The man spoke, his voice deep and husky.

"Who the hell are you? What did you do to me?" I asked, peering out of the window trying to figure out where I am.

We zoomed across a blur of dark trees. The moon was shining brightly against the cool coloured sky.

"Calm down. I won't harm you." He answered harshly.

I tried to move to see his face, which was looking straight at the road ahead of him. He still wore that damn hoodie.

"Says the guy who just kidnapped me. Who the fuck are you anyways?" I was frustrated and had every right to be.

I sniffed, trying to gain a scent from him. The scent seem so familiar and yet I can't even remember who it is.

"You're asking too many questions." He snapped hastily.

I sighed and turned my face towards the window. I have no idea where we are or where we're even going.

"Where are we going?" I asked politely.

My face distorted to pure concentration as I was nudging the rope against my hands.

"We're going somewhere safe." He took a deep breath before answering my question.

I rolled my eyes already seeing where's this is going. He obviously is not going to tell me anything. I decided to shut up and roll with it. Whenever we come to that 'safe place', it will be my first priority to escape. Although, where would I go after I escape? It's not like I have anywhere to go.
I rolled my body over towards the man. I was able to glimpse at his lower proportion of his face. It looked as though he hasn't shaved in days. The stubble sat lightly against his sharp, striking jawline. His hands tightly gripped the steering wheel in attentiveness while driving towards the destined 'safe place'. I could clearly see the veins sculptured into his arms, popping against his skin. His lips were naturally pouting and gave him fuller, beautiful lips and-

It was then my thoughts were abruptly stopped as he turned towards me and pulled the hoodie to cover his face even more.

"Why you don't want me to see your face?" I asked, completely forgetting about my 'I'll shut up' plan.

He didn't answer and instead continued to drive further on.
I sighed. He's not really much of a talker is he? I decided to ask no further question and instead inspect the car we were actually in. The black leather seats were pretty comfortable. The interior of the car was spotless as though it had never even been driven before. My eyes scanned for a time. I mean, it must be around 10pm from what I gather from outside. The digital clock read "11:30pm"
Shit.

"Stop the car." I said without hesitation. I need to get out from this car.

"We're not stopping until we reach our destination, wolf. Shut up, already. You ask too many questions. I do not want harm you but if you continue with the chatter, I will have no other choice."

I could feel his anger rising steadily and that's when I caught it. His scent. Holy shit.

"You're an Alpha." I said silently, looking at him with fear.

He didn't answer, in fact he acted as though he didn't hear me at all.
There was a brief silence before he said:
"The Alpha of the Alpha's, actually". He added causally.

Oh my.... The realisation of the fact that he was the Alpha King had my mouth shaped into an O. I simply did not know how to react.
It makes sense. He's pretty demanding.
It then hit me that I was so rude to him. So far, I've given no respect towards him at all. He is going to kill me.
What does he even want with me anyways? Maybe Chris told him about my curse and killing Smith's daughter. Shit, i'm practically doomed.

"I am so sorry, Your Majesty " I began.

"I had no idea. I beg your forgiveness." I bowed my head down waiting for his reaction.

I heard rumours about him. The alpha. The last one from the original werewolf family. We learnt about the history the original, first werewolves back when I was young. They're considered royalty within the werewolf world.
However, this was Kase Ryder. I heard many whispers from my old pack about the frightening acts in which he had ordered for people doing wrong towards him. People surrounding him somehow always ended up dead or scarred for life. The people that come out from his kingdom never act the same again. Every pack fears him. He's known to be cruel, selfish and evil.
They call him a monster.
Well.... I'm definitely dead.

"Be quiet." His breathing hitched slightly.

He's not even bothering to look at me. I did as I was told, but then the though crossed my mind. I am going to start turning any minute now and if we don't stop the car we're going to crash. What if he gets hurt because of me? If something happens to him it's going to be my fault. Then I'm definitely going to have a death warrant on my head. I need to get out the car.

"Ummmm ...Your Majesty?" I looked at him pleadingly.

"What now?" He asked angrily.

"Umm... I don't know if you're familiar with this, but I am cursed." I took a deep breath before continuing.

"Every night after midnight I have to turn into my wolf, and I can't control it."

I waited for his response. He was silent for a minute and then laughter erupted from him, cutting the silence from the car. He continued to laugh for solid minute before he stopped suddenly.

"Right." He stated sarcastically.

"You don't believe me?" I hissed trying not to be that rude but it was impossible since his attitude was way beyond any fucking limit.

"No, I do." He was being sarcastic once again.

"Why would I lie about something so serious?"

Then I felt it. It's almost midnight.

"I don't know. You tell me why should I believe you? Maybe you just want to escape."

He doesn't trust me? Really? Does he think I go around telling people I'm cursed?
Imagine. Introducing yourself to a stranger and saying "Hey! How's it going, I'm Naomi and I'm cursed. Nice to meet you." That wouldn't work anyways since I'm terrible at making new friends.

"Yeah" I scoffed. "Tell me that when I start turning and when we crash somewhere. Oh wait, you can't do that because we're probably gonna be dead." I laughed uncontrollably.

My laughter halted when I felt my bone cracking.
It's starting.

"Watch your mouth. I am your King."

I held onto the edge of the seat trying to stop the process as much as I could. I was no longer able to control it. I screamed as I felt my fangs growing painfully. We are so screwed.

"Stop it." He demanded. I wanted to face palm myself when I heard him. I told him I was cursed and he didn't want to listen. I warned him.

"I. Can't. Control. It." I hissed. Every word was getting harder to say. I couldn't speak any further.

"STOP IT." He roared. I dismissed his order.

It wasn't the first time I've heard that and it definitely wasn't going to be the last.
My wolf took absolute control of me. She was ready to escape. My furred paws scratched against the window attempting to escape. Finally, it smashed. My form flew over the road into the soft, wet grass.
I was free.
My wolf shook herself and the small fragments of glass that was embedded onto her fur and soon was scattered all over the ground. She looked towards the ground and saw the harsh tyre tracks zigzagging towards a tree.
It was when I saw smoke smothering the clear air. The origins of the smoke was from the car. The front of the car was completely ruined and the metal of the car crumpled together. However, the tree still stood strongly. The headlights were still on and I could see his body slanted over the driver's side.
The Alpha lost control. I told him, I thought angrily.
I turned swiftly and decided It wasn't my choice to care if he died or not. Instead, I let my wolf take me into the dark woods.
