“If I can't have you, no one else will” Gabriel looked at me, his eyes were turning blood red, there were traces of fur on his face, and his ears were gradually becoming pointed. I flinched, closed my eyes in fear, sweat dripping from all parts of my body, and perceived a powerful scent on which I couldn't quite place a finger.

I began to question my decision to try to escape from the pack. Gabriel is nice, but he was obsessed with me and couldn't let me be for even a second.

“I…” I stuttered, …I wasn't sure of what to say. I wiped the sweat off my forehead as I stared at Gabriel, it was obvious what my fate would be. I didn't need anyone to tell me.

“Anna, you don't get to abandon me, if you do, everybody dies because I will burn this city down “.Gabriel was furious, it was clear at this point that he wasn't in full control of his emotions…This was my first time seeing him in this state.

“I'm sorry”.I finally muttered the words that had hung in my throat for so long, as my mind wandered away, lost in my thoughts again. How did he know I was here? I thought I had it all planned out perfectly. The only one who was aware of my plans to escape was my best friend Claire…could it be that she was the one who leaked the plan?

Earlier that day, Claire and I had a conversation. Although we had it all planned out, we rehearsed the plan over again…. No, it couldn't be her, she had been my only friend since I found myself here. We were more like family. Someone must have eavesdropped on our conversation…probably Bella and her loud group of friends. They should do better, other than always seeking attention from Gabriel.

Those naughty girls never seem to give up, even though he has never paid them a glance. Claire was family; she wouldn't even betray me even at Gunpoint. At this moment, it struck me that I was being monitored in the school and I needed to be more careful, because the walls seemed to have developed ears.

I finally summoned the courage and strength to lift myself from the floor. Gabriel and I were in the middle of nowhere and it was already getting late…I had to follow him back to the mansion. I was midway into my thoughts when I felt his cold grip on my wrist..His nails slowly pierced into my hands as his grip became tighter.

“Please”....I muttered. I gasped in pain, but I dared not utter any other word as a few drops of tears slowly left my eyes, and my stomach started rumbling. I could feel my heart dancing in my stomach. I watched my blood drop from my wrist as His nails were so sharp that they were causing injuries to my wrist. He pulled me roughly towards his car and he opened the door and pushed me in.

He sat at the driver's seat and started the car still not saying a word to me. I reached out for my bag to grab my towel, and I used it to tie my wrist to suppress the bleeding. Is he not aware of the injuries he was inflicting on me? I groaned bitterly, but I didn't make the noises loud to avoid getting him more annoyed than he already was. I began to question my life choices, and several crazy thoughts kept flying through my head.

Gabriel‘s pov

This girl wants to ruin my life, I said to myself. She was the last of the maidens whom we abducted from Modaline. According to the priestess' prophecy. She said my Luna was going to come from there. I can't wait to check if my Luna is actually Anna. What I have for her is love at first sight. That is why I have kept her till this moment…I am scared of losing her, but it seems like I am overstepping my boundaries, because I cannot explain why I found her trying to escape from the pack… Is my constant presence around her irritating her? I can't act weak in front of her.

“ I am going to punish you when we get home ”I finally told her. My father's condition was getting critical, and time was no longer on my side. The priestess had given me a powerful potion, which I used each time I needed to sleep with the maiden. That was the only way I could confirm if she was the one meant for me. She was the last of them; each time I slept with the wrong person, they died instantly.

Anna is so beautiful. She has blonde hair, a pointed nose and a very curvy shape. She looks so beautiful to be in this world, angelic and innocent. I haven't been able to take my mind off her since that day I set my eyes on her…that was the reason I had kept her to this point because I couldn't bear the thought of losing her in the same pattern. But I had to do something unless my father had no choice but to make my stepbrother Damon the alpha, because it was against the rules of the pack to give the title to a person without a Luna…I have to act fast ...might have to sleep with her tonight.

I stared at her as she sat in her back seat. She was unusually quiet; I must have put her in so much pain. I love her so much, I am afraid it is gradually turning into an obsession. Who the hell gave her the idea of trying to escape? I need to sack those security guards because they don't seem to be performing their duties. I had instructed them to place Anna under 24-hour surveillance except when she was going to the restroom. I usually watch her from my monitor in my room, but today I was busy. I had an important meeting to attend.

Yes, as for her punishment, I wasn't sure what to do to her. No one has ever tried escaping from my pack.
