Chapter 16: Chapter 16

"Are we there yet?" I asked for the nth time. We have been driving for a while now and I was getting bored. I was pretty sure I was already late for class, so I made no further effort to return. There's no point in that because I'm convinced they won't even let me go if I ask politely.

With each passing time, the driver seemed more and more irritated with me. I suppose the only reason they haven't snapped at me is that I am important to them. But I did discover something significant. I'm aware that these guys are affiliated with Tyrelle. I mean, I did hear the name Gawen mentioned.

"We are almost there, Lady Killer Smile." One of the men said.

That too. The way they address me is a given hint that they are with Tyrelle.

I swear. If I get my hands on that scheming and lying werewolf boy then he would be on a leash! I thought we already made a contract, so why the hell am I being kidnapped!?

Because I was lying down, the car came to an abrupt halt, and I rolled down on the car seat. In frustration, I cursed and growled.

"We have arrived, Lady Killer Smile." One of the men announced.

"Great," I said grimly as the car door opened. A large muscular man in a white shirt escorted me out and untied my hands. I looked around me to see that we were in a large mansion overlooking a large garden. Everywhere I look, various trees and plants of different kinds were everywhere.

We are currently standing on a roadway that leads to the mansion's front door. Both men and women stood guard on either side of the street as if they were guards. I blinked, feeling intimidated by the attention I was receiving. "Welcome, Lady killer smile!" They all said in unison.

I took a step back, giving them all a terrified look. Is it just me, or do they have high regard for me? What exactly is going on? And what sort of television shows are they watching that they are trying to imitate this overused scene!?

"Actually can I-"

"THAT'S MY GABBIEE BEAR, YOU STINKING MUTTS!" There was a loud crash as Al, the hybrid, landed on the black van - crushing its roof in the process.

Al jumped down and looked at the damaged that he has caused the car. He grimaced as soon as he saw smoke coming out of it. "You guys are not gonna charge me for repairs, right?" He pointed at the hot mess that he just caused.

I gave him a deadpanned look and glanced at the closest man beside me. “Please charge him of the bill and arrest him. I beg you.”

Al looked terribly offended with my words. “Hey! If they charge me then how can I pay for our wedding and honeymoon? I have been saving!”

“Save your ass! If I’m going to marry you then I rather be a nun.”

Al calmly placed his hands in front of him as if he was stopping me. “Hey, slow down. We just met. And I haven't asked you the question just yet. Maybe wait for at least a week or so?” Al winked and I immediately made a face of disgust.

“A week-” I stopped myself because there was no use arguing with him about this. I rubbed the side of my head and looked at him. “What are you doing here, Al?”

“I came to pick up my girlfriend for a date, but then she got kidnapped, so now I came to save her.” He flatly stated. A man suddenly crept up behind him and lunged. Al elbowed him without even looking back and brought his attacker in front of him. Al scowled. “You, sir, are very rude. I’m still talking to Gabby poo! ”

I looked away from the hybrid, who continued to scold the man who was only doing his job from the tresspasser. “Aren't you guys going to get him?” I was merely asking him them because I was curious why they weren’t doing anything.

And a few seconds later, I regretted that action.

“You heard lady killer smile. Attack!” One of them yelled and suddenly, everyone started to go after Prick.

Al probably thinks that I was going to be attacked because he was suddenly right in front of me. He gave me a side glance as he arrogantly smirked. “Stay back babe. I'll show you how strong your man is.” He winked and started to charge at the group of people.

It was going great at first. He was able to force most of them back, but when the numbers were overwhelming him, it only took a few minutes for him to be apprehended.

“Oh wow. I am impressed. You really showed them who's the boss.” I said sarcastically as I looked at the hybrid, now tied down like a pig ready for roasting. “Amazing.” I gave him a slow applause.

Al averted his gaze, evidently embarrassed by the situation and his former confidence. “But, love! I was distracted. I saw that awful man talking to you and holding your hand!” He motioned to the now-beaten-up man on the ground. I gave the man a sorrowful look because all he was doing was attempting to get me away of the turmoil. When the man stared at me, Al didn't let it go, lunging and biting his arm despite the fact that he was tied.

“Hey!” I drew Al back to prevent him from biting the unfortunate man. As soon as he was free, he raced away crying.

I gave Al a pointed look. “You're an animal,” I said.

Al only smiled as though it were a praise. “Thank you!” He said. "You should see what kind of animal I am in bed." He said and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at me.

In disgust, I narrowed my gaze as I stared at the germ in front of me. Al must have sensed it as well since he began to fear. "No, babe! I am kidding. I am saving my first time with-"

“Do what you want with him.” I told the man nearest to me and gestured at Al, who was now frantically shaking his head.

“As you wish, lady killer smile.” He bowed and gestured for another man to come. “Lui, escort lady killer smile inside.”

A man with long brown hair stood in front of me and bowed respectfully. “Right this way, lady killer smile.”

I was beginning to second-guess my decision to come here willingly. They're shady characters, that’s for sure, but they're unmistakably linked to Tyrelle. But I'm not quite ready to meet this Alpha yet. Tyrelle is a werewolf, therefore the so called Alpha is their leader, right? What makes their leader want to meet with me?

“Don't worry, babe.” I looked down and saw Al wiggling his body in concentration. “I will be out of these binds in a few seconds. Then we can run away into the sunset and be on our merry way to a lifetime of love and happiness.”

My face twisted in disgust at his words that even my body shook. I looked at the man named Lui with a pleading look. “You know what? Screw walking. Can we run to the mansion? Like, right now?”

With all the cringey phrases Al was saying, I felt like I was going insane. He was the most dramatic and stubborn person I'd ever encountered. For a second there, I almost felt sorry that he was caught because of me. But upon hearing his words, I’d say good riddance.

Lui was about to open his lips to answer when I grabbed his suit and started pulling him along as I walked. Poor Lui was perplexed as I, the kidnapped person, dragged my kidnapper towards their base.
