Chapter Eight
What the hell?
"Take off your clothes." The man repeated, not bothering to hide the lust in his voice.
"Why?" I asked even though I had an idea of what he wanted.
"I'm sure you can guess why." The man muttered and I could hear rustling in the background.
Is he..? Hell no, I'm not doing this!
"Fuck off you pervert!" I whisper-yelled into my phone before hanging up. My hand went up to my chest as I tried to calm my heart that was pounding like crazy.
The phone started to ring but I ignored it, knowing it was that creep.
What was I going to do now? I didn't want to play along with the sick game this man clearly wanted to play but if I didn't, would he tell the police? Or worse, the Alpha?
My hands covered my face as I thought about our options, our very limited and scary options. Could I do it? Give the man what he wants or would that just be the start of it all? What if I did what he wanted and it wasn't enough? Would I be able to do everything he asked, how far would he go?
The way I looked at it, we were screwed. If I listen to him there was no guarantee if he would keep his words.
"Listen you stupid twat, I'm not going to do what you want so fuck off." I bellowed down the phone after it rang for what felt like the millionth time.
"I'm going to tell ev-"
I ended the call before he could finish the sentence and with trembling hands I blocked his number. I sat down on one of the bar stools and put my head against the counter. The cool counter was soothing and felt nice against my hot cheeks.
With my eyes closed I thought about what we had to do next.
"Nala, wake up." A soft voice muttered in my ear as they gently shook me. "Wake up."
Tilting my head up, I saw Cami staring at me with a concern look.
I let out a soft groan and stretched my arms. "I was going to make some coffee, must have fallen asleep." I lied as I stood up.
"Are you sure?"
I nodded as I rubbed my eyes. "Can you make me a coffee, I need to take a shower."
"Sure. Do you want me to make you breakfast?"
I shook my head as I grabbed my phone from the counter. I looked down at my phone and found no calls or text not that there would be any from the unknown man since I blocked his number.
After a long, hot shower, I finally got out and wrapped a towel around my body. My muscles were still stiff and the shower did nothing to relax me. Wiping the condensation off the mirror I stared at my reflection. My tired face stared back at me and I closed my eyes.
We couldn't stay here, we couldn't risk it. We had to leave and the sooner the better. Right now no one knows what happened, there's no one looking for us so it was the best time to run. If we waited and people found out what happened our faces would be everywhere and we would have nowhere to hide.
We had to do this now.
I thought about how I would tell Cami about this predicament we were in, about the man who contacted me last night and seemed to know what happened. I didn't want to worry her but I had no choice.
"We need to talk." I told Cami as I walked into the living room.
Cami looked and frowned. "What's up?"
She put her bowl of cereal down and handed me my cup of coffee. I took a sip to calm my nerves before I started talking. "Someone called me last night, they know what happened."
The colour drained out of Cami's face as she stared at me in horror.
"It's the same person that sent the note." I continued. "We need to leave, we can't stay here anymore."
"Oh my god." Cami gasped out.
"We need to go to the bank and cash out all the money we have in our savings and leave. We can go down south to London maybe? And if it comes to it and we have no choice, we'll leave the country."
"Is this actually happening? Oh god, this is actually happening."
"Cami, calm down."
"Calm down? Nala someone knows what I did!"
"So yes someone does, I don't know how but they do. But they haven't done anything with that information, that means they want something and that gives us time to get out of here." I tried to explain to Cami while she freaked out.
"So we're just going to leave the country?"
"No, we're going to leave this city. The other Alpha is here searching for his cousin and someone knows what happened. We need to stay low for a bit and if we have to then yes, we'll leave the country."
"Where will we go?"
"I don't know, maybe somewhere outside of Europe? If this person tells the Alpha, there's no actual proof we did anything and I doubt he's going to search every country looking for us." I told her even though I didn't believe a word I said, the Alpha would look everywhere for us but leaving gives us a fighting chance.
"Okay, so when do we leave?"
"As soon as we can. We'll go to the back today and cash out as much as we can. We'll pack and sort everything else out. Just finish your breakfast and I'll write down what we need to do. You need to stop panicking okay?"
Cami nodded and grabbed her bowl of cereal but stared blankly ahead. I knew she was having a hard time dealing with this but I didn't know what to do to make it better for her.
I left her to her food as I went upstairs so I could grab a notebook and pen. It might be a better idea to write this down on my phone instead so I would never lose it but for some reason I preferred writing things out on a paper instead of typing it.
I took my phone off charge and turned the switch off, frowning when I saw a notification. The sound of something thumping loudly filled my ear and I unlocked my phone to see who sent me a message.
Inhaling sharply, I squinted at the message from an unknown number.
You shouldn't have blocked me, that pissed me off. You don't want me pissed off.
The message was sent almost half an hour ago.
Do one. Stop texting me.
The reply was instant.
I'll tell everyone what you did.
I wasn't going to continue to engage with this creep so I blocked this number again. With one hand holding my phone, I went over to my desk to grab my notebook and pen. My gaze fell on the pictures that was on my desk.
My mouth curved into a small sad smile as I stared at the four people smiling back at me. We were so happy then with no problems or issues. Just a normal family. Look at us now.
Swallowing the lump in my throat, I looked away from the picture and headed out of my room. Cami was exactly where I left her and looked as tired and devasted as I felt.
"Cami, you need to eat your food." I told her as I sat down and picked up my lukewarm coffee.
"I don't feel hungry anymore." She mumbled looking down.
Flipping the page over to a clean page, I started to write down what we needed to do. Cami piped in with some ideas but mainly sat there looking miserable. She felt as though she wasn't helping enough with our situation and wanted to do more. To be honest I didn't want her to do anything at all, there was a good chance she would mess it up and I wanted to make sure everything went smoothly.
A slight buzz had me looking at my phone. Was it that creep again? How was he getting so many new numbers and so quickly?
I decided to ignore it and concentrate on what I was doing instead. The phone started to ring causing Cami to jump up.
I quickly grabbed my phone and rejected the call.
"That scared me. Who was it?"
"Just a girl from my course, I'll call her back later." I lied as I clicked on the number to block it.
Before I could block the number, another message came through which led to me almost dropping my phone.
My eyes widened as I looked at the new message.
"Shit."
