I slowly started to wake up from my sleep. I sighed in bliss not realizing how much I missed a bed. The bed I was sleeping in felt wonderful. I hadn't slept in one since I was taken. My bliss quickly started to go away when I saw the door start to open to the room. A lady I had never met was walking into the room.

She was heavily pregnant and looked like she was going to have her baby any day now. She had blonde hair that came just past her shoulders. Her eyes were a nice shade of hazel. I wasn't sure who this woman was or why she was in this room. Marcus told me that no one would come in here and that he would keep the pack away.

My mind went into overdrive. I quickly made my way off the bed and tried to put distance between us. I didn't know this woman, but I knew no one was supposed to be in here.

"Who are and what are you doing in here? You aren't supposed to be in here," I yelled trying to back away more. My back hit the wall by the closet. I quickly made my way to the window to see if I could make the jump out if I needed to. I realized we were on the fourth floor. If I jumped from this height, then I would surely break a leg.

I turned my attention back to the lady in front of me. Her eyes glazed over for a second only to turn back to normal just as quickly. I knew she had mind-linked someone and there would be more people soon.

"Madelyn it is okay. You are safe here with us. We will not hurt you," the woman in front of me tried to reassure me just as more people made their way to the door. I didn't want to be here anymore. I was scared that they were going to hurt me. I only knew one thing and that was I had to run. I quickly pushed past everyone and made my way down the stairs. It didn't take me long to find the entrance and run through the door.

"Madelyn!" was all I heard Marcus yell as I ran for the door.

" Willow tried to convince me to go back. I quickly blocked her out and continued to run. It was late at night but over the years I had gotten good at seeing in the dark. I quickly made my way through the trees ducking and dodging low tree branches.

I could hear the pounding of feet on the ground behind me. I pushed myself harder to run faster. The sound quickly faded. I knew I was losing them. I kept running for a while longer until I felt I was a good distance away. I took a moment to sit on a fallen tree to catch my breath.

As I was sitting there, I heard movement in the bushes nearby. I got up to start running again when I was frozen in shock and fear.

"Not so fast little runner. You know we have been looking everywhere for you. You didn't make it easy on us, but the boss will be happy to have you back," the rogue in front of me said. He was one of the men who took me all those years ago and was a guard at the compound they kept us at.

I was going to make a run for it when two more guys came from the trees. I knew I could outrun them if I could get past them, but I felt scared and couldn't move. All the memories of what happened to me started to flood back to me. I started to shake from fear that I would go back to that place. I didn't notice that they were getting closer till one of them grabbed me. I started to try and fight him off, but he quickly hit me which knocked me to the ground. I could tell that was going to leave a bruise. He hit me again before picking me back up.

I did the one thing I knew I could do in hopes someone would hear me, "Marcus!"

I continued to try and fight the guy who was holding me. I wasn't going to go with them so easily. I brought my elbow back on the rogue's head which caused him to drop me. I then punched him in the stomach and kicked his legs out from under him causing him to fall to the ground. I started to run back in the direction that I came from.

One of the other rogues tackled me to the ground. He quickly got up and picked me up. He then slapped me across the face which knocked me to the ground. At this point, I was crying. Crying from the pain in my face, from the thought of going back, and because no one had come to save me. Maybe Marcus didn't care about me. Maybe I was wrong in that he might actually protect me.

"You little bitch. I tried to do this the easy way but looks like you picked the hard way," the rogue said while hitting me in my ribs repeatedly. I wouldn't be surprised if they were broken. As he went to hit me again, I heard the most fierce growl come from behind me. The rogue quickly backed away from me with fear written all over his face. He paled and tried to run away. More wolves came from the trees and surrounded us. The three rogues looked scared. The wolves kept snarling and growling at the rogues.

The rogue thought it would be smart to try and grab me. This only caused all the wolves to growl and one came to stand in front of me. The wolf was beautiful with black fur all over. He had hints of gray fur at the tips of his ears and on his chest. I quickly realized this was Marcus by the size of his wolf. Most Alphas are larger than the regular werewolf.

The rogue must have realized this too because he quickly had a smirk on his face. He must have realized that we were mates.

"I must say this is a real honor Alpha. However, seeing as we only came for the girl. We will be leaving with her. Besides, you don't want her for a mate. She is broken, damaged, and dirty. She couldn't possibly be what you want in a mate," the rogue said all this while looking at me. It hurt to hear him say all those things about me. I knew they were true, but I wasn't ready to admit that.

Marcus quickly growled to shut the rogue up. He lunged forward and tackled him to the ground. Everett stepped out from behind a tree with only shorts on. I am guessing he shifted to try and talk with Marcus.

"Ian I know you are upset, but we shouldn't do this in front of Madelyn," Everett said slowly and calmly. Ian must be Marcus's wolf. He turned to look at Ian before turning to look at me. I could tell his wolf was in full control because his eyes were pitch black. His eyes softened slightly until the rogue under him started to try to get away.

He quickly turned his attention back to the rogue. While some guards came to get the other two rogues, Everett made his way to me and blocked my view of Ian and the rogue.

"Come on Madelyn you don't want to see this," Everett said while lifting me. I knew he was right, so I quickly hide my face in his chest while he carried me away from the wolves. Only hearing the sound of a loud growl followed by a scream. I covered my ears to block out the sound because it brought back terrible memories.

Everett carried me all the way to the pack doctor. He quickly made his way to a room where the nurses and doctors were trying to check on me.

I haven't been to a doctor in years, but I knew they would be able to see all the damage that was done to me. I just followed their instructions and let them poke and stick me. They also ran some tests along with x-rays of my whole body. I am sure Marcus told them to do all of this. I knew he wanted to bring me here when I was ready. I guess after seeing me get slapped around he made the choice for me.

I was just getting settled back in my room where Everett had waited for me to get done with the tests when the doors burst open. I yelped in surprise and went to hide behind Everett. I heard a chuckle come from Everett who turned to face me.

"It is all right. It is only Marcus," Everett said while stepping out of the way.

I wasn't sure what overcame me, but I quickly ran to him and hugged him. I was so happy that he was okay and that he came to save me.

"Thank you for coming to save me. I was so worried that they were going to take me away. I tried to fight them off, but they were too strong and I couldn't," I rambled on while crying into Marcus's chest. He rubbed my back and tried to reassure me, "Hey it is alright. You are safe now. I won't let anything happen to you. As long as I am around, I won't let anything happen to you."

Thank you guys so much for reading! I hope you are enjoying the book so far. I realized that I don't have the longest chapter. However, I plan for this to be a rather long book. I am hoping to try and post at least one chapter a week. I was able to get two up this week, so we will see how it goes. Anyway, don't forget to vote, comment and share. I would love to hear feedback from all of you.

What is your favorite non Wattpad book?

Mine would have to be The Book Thief. I absolutely love the book which they did make into a movie that was actually pretty good.
