Captured

Chapter Thirty-Three

The words shouldn't have affected me, I was nothing to him and he was nothing to me but it did. I didn't like hearing it, I wanted him to take back his words.

This place is definitely making me loopy!

Teresa looked unconvinced but didn't press further on the matter, she reverted back to her original question. "Where is Harlan?"

The Alpha gave her no response as he tugged my hand and pulled me towards him as he began walking back to his office. I half walked, half jogged behind him as I tried to keep up. We were there in a matter of seconds and he pushed me into his office.

"Don't leave this room." He slammed the door behind him before I could even respond.

To be honest I don't think I want to leave the room, I would rather stay here where I was hidden from his cousin that would most likely kill me once she finds out what happened to her brother.

I couldn't help but wonder about what he would say to her. Would he tell her the truth? I shuddered at this possibility as I knew what the outcome of that would be for me. She would be angry and rightfully so, if anything happened to Cami I would-

Cami! Phone!

I spun so quickly almost lost my balance and fell over but I didn't care. The Alpha had a phone on his desk and I could use it to call Cami! Keeping one eye on the door, I lifted the receiver and held it to my phone. Hope filled my body as I heard the dialling tone and I stopped myself from squealing out loud.

Not wanting to wait another second, I began dialling Cami's number. I had no idea how long the Alpha would take, he might come back at any second.

Come on! Pick up the phone Cami!

After what felt like hours a voice spoke on the other end of the receiver. "Hello?" The voice sounded timid and unsure but I recognised it.

"Cami!" I spluttered out, my voice croaky from the earlier assault.

"Nala?" This time Cami's voice was much louder and clearer. "Oh my god, Nala is that you?"

Tears welled up in my eyes and my chest tightened as I heard my baby sister's voice. "Yes." I croaked out. "It's me."

"Nala." Cami sobbed through the line. She kept repeating my name over and over again as she cried hysterically.

Waves of relief and happiness flooded my body, she was alive, she was okay! I felt as though a huge wave had been lifted off my shoulder and I couldn't help but join in and cry too.

It was like that for a minute or so, we were both sobbing through the phone calling each other's name out. Once I started to gain more composure, I took in a deep breath and cleared my throat causing me to wince slightly.

"Cami, I don't have much time. Are you okay? Are you with Uncle Tom?" I fired out the questions ignoring the slightly burning pain in my throat.

"Nala, I miss you so m-"

I felt guilty doing this but I cut her off. "Cami, answer my questions I don't have much time."

Through her sobs, Cami answered my questions. "Yeah I'm fine and I'm at Uncle Tom's house with everyone. When are you going to come back Nala?"

I don't know.

Now that there's a chance Teresa knew what I supposedly did my chances of leaving this place were very slim.

"Soon, I promise." I lied as I closed my eyes. "I'm going to do my best to get out of here." That wasn't a lie, I would try my damn hardest to get out of here.

"I miss you Nala. I've been so scared th-"

My eyes snapped opened. "Scared? Why are you scared? Did something happen?"

"No, no." Cami replied quickly. "I'm just scared about everything and it's hard being without you."

"You need to stay strong Cami." I whispered trying my hardest to keep my composure. "I'll be with you soon." I looked at the door that was still closed. "I have to go, I-"

"No, please don't go. Talk to me!"

"I'll call you again soon, okay? Take care of yourself, I love you."

Cami started crying again. "I love you too."

I put the phone and moved away from the Alpha's desk. I thought hearing Cami's voice would make me feel better and while it was a relief to find out she was okay hearing her voice made this separation even harder.

She's alive and she's okay, focus on that Nala!

Drying my eyes with my sleeves I took in deep breaths and tried to think of the positives in this situation, there was hardly any, and focus on that. I was alive- for now-, Cami was alive, that's all that mattered.

Thinking about the positives didn't last that long and my mind drifted off to what the Alpha and his cousin were talking about. Lots of horrible scenarios played out in my head about what would happen to me, each one getting worse and worse.

I'm not sure how long I paced around the room thinking of the worst, it could have been half an hour or an hour but that's how the Alpha found me when he entered the room.

Before the Alpha could say anything I fired a question at him. "Did you tell her?"

He didn't respond, instead he met my eyes and frowned. "Why are your eyes red?"

Huh?

Not wanting either of us to get side-tracked, I repeated the question again. "Did you tell her what...I did?"

This time the Alpha answered me and my heart dropped.

"Yes."
