Chapter Eighteen

Before he rendered me unconscious, he released me causing me to drop to the ground with a loud thud. I landed on the side and began coughing like crazy as air began to penetrate my body again. My throat was burning and I felt so dizzy.

I looked up at the man responsible for my current situation who was staring at me in shock as if he didn't expect me to be reacting like this.

You were choking me with your big, fat hands, what did you think was going to happen?

As if he knew what I was thinking, he looked at his hands and then at me on the ground, gasping like a fish out of water.

He reached down and pulled me up with ease and started patting my back, gently.

What is he doing? I'm so confused.

After a couple of minutes he stopped and looked down at me. "Humans are so weak."

I ignored him as I kept my head down, not wanting to make the same mistake again. I don't think I could handle being strangled again.

"How old are you?"

I ignored him again but this time he grasped my chin and lifted my face up. "How old are you?"

"Nineteen." My voice was croaky and caused. I watched as he flinched slightly before frowning.

"You're nineteen?" He questioned, sounding shocked.

I nodded, not wanting to use my voice as it hurt my throat to speak. He let go of my chin and cursed. He then stormed off towards his desk grabbed the receiver of the black phone at the side of his desk.

"Bring me some water." He barked down the phone before slamming it down.

"Sit down." He ordered however his voice was a lot calmer than before. I hesitantly walked over to the sofa and sat down at the edge.

A knock on the door had me jumping up slightly. "Come in."

I watched as a middle-aged woman in a maid's outfit with her light-coloured hair in a bun wheel in a small trolley with a bucket, bottles of water and a couple of drinking glasses. The woman paused slightly as she saw me but other than that she didn't acknowledge me.

"Alpha." She bowed her head slightly and stopped near his desk.

"Give the girl some water."

The woman immediately looked towards me and came closer. "Would you like your water with or without ice ma'am?"

Ma'am?

Did she think I was his guest or something?

She was looking at me expectantly and I shook my head. "No ice, please."

The woman poured some water in the glass and handed it over to me. "Thank you." I muttered as I took it from her and began gulping it down.

I finished it within seconds and handed it back to the woman who was looking at me like I was crazy. She filled the drinking glass again and handed it over to me.

"Leave the bottle." The Alpha commanded, dismissing the woman who handed me the bottle and started to wheel the trolley out of the room.

"Where is my cousin?"

"I don't know." I told him as I took a small sip.

"I think you do know."

I heard him walk towards me and I braced myself for another attack. Instead the Alpha sat down on the sofa next to me. "I know my cousin, he isn't a good man but he is my cousin."
