Back at the Smith's house

"Stop crying Sarah. We have the search parties looking for her", Carl hugged Sarah's shaking body. Even he knew there was no hope at least not until she is in her human form.

It was almost impossible to catch her scent. Clarabel did a good job with her spells.

"It's her birthday Carl. She is somewhere alone without us. Maybe she is hurt. Maybe she is hungry, oh my poor soul", Sarah let out a shriek and carried on sobbing.

Carl was trying to compose her when the door bell rang.

From the scent Carl could easily tell who was it.

He ran to the door and flung it open. Clarabel stood there with a concern look on her face.

"You should have been careful Carl", she played the blame card while walking inside.

"Clarabel do you have any idea where is she. I'm terrified", Carl sighed.

She smiled back and sat down on the sofa near Sarah.

"Calm down child. I know where she is and I can tell you for sure you have raised a warrior princess. She can take care of herself very well."

Carl rushed to Clarabel and kneeled down," where is she, how is she, she's not hurt is she?" 

He started rambling on with words. Clarabel let out a chuckle but then went quiet.

Very very serious.

"She's with Harry. He has found out she is his mate and as we planned, he didn't show any positive reaction. However I am worried that I can't place the spell on her and thus disguise is going to shed off".

Carl's eyes shot open when she said Anna was with Harry.

" how can you be so sure that she is there", Carl asked restlessly.

Clarabel smiled softly and spoke,"I am a witch honey. I know stuff but just to put you at ease I happen to have a mole set in the Alpha's house".

Clarabel had an insider. It seemed weird. However the fact that Harry doesn't want Anna made Carl feel a little relaxed.

"But I think you should request a search hunt from Andrew. He is the current Alpha and this will be a good step. He doesn't know that his son has got Anna. Besides maybe Harry will let her go when he finds out that his father is involved", Clarabel suggested.

Carl nodded and quickly headed to the coat stand. He threw his jacket on and left the house. He was heading to the Alpha's house with a very heavy heart.

Anna's POV

I stared at the ceiling of the shi**y dungeon while finishing my sit ups.

I jumped up and landed on my feet. I loved exercise. It made me feel so much alive. I noticed there was a pole suspended by iron chains.

I smiled to myself, the monster had his tools ready.  I was guessing he had that to tie people and torture  them.

I felt a strong feeling of hatred towards this idiot but I also felt pity. He had nothing worthwhile in his life so he killed his time with these horrible hobbies.

I walked up to the pole and yanked it. It felt really strong and sturdy. I placed my both hands on it and started my pull ups. I loved my workouts and I had to agree I was not just good but amazing at it.

While I was doing my lovely activity, the door opened behind me. I didn't bother to look back. If some one has come, they will discuss their business soon enough.

I carried out my hard core workout. Sweat was dipping from my forehead.

"So are you always this mad about exercising?", the monster said in his husky voice.

I jumped on the ground and bent over placing my hands on my knees taking few deep breaths. Standing back up I turned around, facing him I looked at him thoroughly. His biceps were bulging through his t-shirt and not to forget his flat stomach under the shirt. I could confidently say he had a 6pack underneath.

"You're not so bad yourself. I'm guessing you workout 6 days a week. Morning and evening sessions. Most likely have a personal trainer and your current workout weight might just be around 150kg", I walked around him assessing his physical state. Walking to the nearest wall, I rested my aching back on it folding my arms on my chest.

I could sense my words were disturbing him as he flinched. He turned around and rushed towards me. He rested his both hands on the wall trapping me in the middle. I didn't even blink an eye due to his reaction. I needed to stay strong even though I was a little scared.

"No one likes a smart ass you know. Besides you have not seen what I do to people. If you see a sample of my art, you will never look into my eyes with that much confidence. I would look down if I were you", he whispered everything near my right ear.

I was never a mind reader but I could tell that somehow he was more scared of me.

I slowly pushed him away, moving myself with him. I looked sarcastically in his eyes. Keeping my hands on his shoulders I lowered my gaze and said softly,"oh please forgive me, I'm trembling with fear".

I didn't look up but I heart a snarl. Slowly patting his shoulders, I swiped my hands off. Moving away from him I glanced at the door.

"Now where is that handsome jock. He usually brings my food by this time", his growls went louder after he heard my statement.

He took two steps closer to me and spat the words,"you filthy little human, I will kil............."

I cut him off in the middle of his talk when I rushed over to him with indescribable speed. I was never this fast. It felt a little supernatural but I shrugged it off.

I glared at him,"I don't understand one thing. You're the dog and I'm the human. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out who is filthy".

As I smiled and moved away, he held my arm and practically started dragging me after him. Yes if it's a fight I could throw a punch or two, but even I wanted to see something other than this stupid dungeon.

We walked up a beautiful staircase with gold linings on the rails. He turned into one of the corridors and entered the third room on the left. As I entered the room my eyes popped out. It had a beautiful super king sized round bed in the middle. The walls were covered with black and white wall paper. The bedding was also black silk with light grey patterns running through the corners. There was a beautiful antique lamp in the corner.

Just across the bed was a sofa. Obviously that too was black. I was mesmerised by the elegance and beauty of the room, when the monster jerked me and threw me in the bed.

"This is your new room. You're staying with me until I decide what to do with you", he actually sounded like a dog too.

I swiftly rolled back wards and landed on my feet. I narrowed my eyes and asked,"what the hell do you mean by staying with you. If you think there will be some sort of fooling around here then you're wrong. I'm not one of your filthy prostitute or something. So stay in your limits next time".

He gracefully advanced towards me. I admit that if I am in the fight mode, I am a killer machine but these romantic situations are awful. I always made a fool of myself.

I still remember when last year Seth (my classmate) asked me out. I started stuttering and moving backwards when finally falling into the janitors bucket.

It was the same situation. He was walking towards me and I started walking backwards but this time instead of falling into a bucket, I thankfully landed on the bed.

He approached me and lowered himself near my face. His eyes staring into my eyes and lips just a centimetre apart from mine. I could notice my breathing was getting heavier and my hands were clammy. 

He filled my ears with his husky voice, "a filthy prostitute you say. What makes you think you're that special".

He moved away and left the room locking the door behind him.

I muttered the words "di*k head".

I was confused. Very confused. Firstly I could not put my finger on the reason why was he was acting weird.

Secondly and most importantly, how the hell did I manage to move so fast down in the dungeon. Thankfully the monster didn't notice it.

Hey I just realised I have been calling him THE MONSTER since I met him.

I didn't even know his name.

I was tired of all the exercise so I barged into the on suite bathroom and started undressing.

I think a bath was overdue.

Harry's POV

I dealt with some shipment issues and sat on the rocking chair in my office. This basement idea was amazing. I had built everything including my office, kitchen, seminar rooms, couple of bedroom and the amazing prisons.

The memories from the afternoon flooded my brain. Damn the girl can workout. I am the person who never gets intimidated by anyone but this girl was working wonders. Not just her intellect, I was amazed at her physical state too. She was good at fighting and I seen her workout myself. She more or less predicted right about my exercise routine.

As much as I hated her human entity, my inner wolf used to go crazy around her. I was in a war with myself. I still couldn't believe I dragged her to my room.
Everything seemed unreal. I was loosing it and that was not a good sign.

I was lost in my thought when Alex entered the room.
"Sire we have I problem", he blurted out with a panicked tone.

I arched my eye Brows waiting for him to speak.

He carried on,"the Alpha is on the case now. Mr Smith has requested a search party for her daughter. The Alpha has decided to put you in charge."

I could understand his worry. Dad was really stingy about his role as an Alpha. That meant that I was on this duty without any rest.

The only problem was that I knew where she was but I couldn't hand her over to them. Not after finding out she was my mate.

Yes I was that unfortunate. Having a human as my mate.

After a long day of debate I finally came to a conclusion. I can't stand her for a second so having her as a partner was out of question. So it was decided.

I Harry Williams will be rejecting my mate.

Finalising my decision I made my way to my bedroom. As I entered the room, I noticed she was not inside but the there was noises from the adjacent bathroom. So I sat down on the bed.

I knew I can't tell her she is my mate. I'll just let her go. Wow I was going to let some go for the first time.

Finally the bathroom door opened and she stepped out. My eyes popped at the sight In front of me. I assumed she was having a bath as water was dripping from her long wet hair and she was wrapped in just a towel.

My wolf was going mad inside me and her scent was driving me crazy.

I could sense her eyes twitched meaning she was not comfortable with the situation. However hats off to her courage, she walked up to the huge dresser. Picked up the brush and started combing her hair.

When I lost control, I ran up to her swiftly picking her up in my arms and throwing her on the massive bed. I lowered myself onto her.

What was happening to me?

I needed help.
