Kidnapped by the Alpha
Chapter 17

(FLASHBACK CONTINUES)

NATALIE'S POV:

My sleep got disturbed due to the chirping of birds. I opened my eyes and stretched my arms yawning. I was having severe pain in my neck and my entire body. I noticed the door of the house was locked till now, which indicates Uncle Tony and Aunt Maria did not return home yet. I removed my phone from my backpack and saw a text from Aunt Maria which read-

"We will be back by evening. Don't call or message us as we are busy"

Reading the message tears welled up in my eyes. They treat me like a servant, even worst than that "I miss you, mom and dad, I wished you would have been alive!" I cried.

I sat on the stairs, waiting for them to come. Suddenly I noticed, Abram, standing at the gate. I swiftly got up from the stairs and proceeded towards him.

"What is your problem? Why are you following me? Are you spying over me?", I told bitterly. "Natalie, please don't take me wrong. I just want to befriend you", Abram explained.

"But I don't want to befriend you", I spoke angrily.

"Okay, I am sorry for harassing you", He responded in a low voice and went away.

Few days passed like this. Abram tried to start a conversation with me while I used to ignore him. One day I was going on my way home, I saw my seniors following me on their bicycle. They were tantalizing me, bullying me but I ignored them and was walking with my head down.

One of the girls stopped my way. I pleaded to her, "Please move aside and let me go”

"Okay, go", She replied smirking. When I was about to go, she deliberately put her leg in between and I fell down on the ground badly, causing injuries on my knees and elbows. Tears started to roll down my cheeks.

"Oh I am so sorry, are you okay?", She asked smirking. I wiped off my tears and stood up from the ground. I was about to leave but this time the other girl, with her, put her legs in between and I fell down on the ground again.

I heard a sharp voice. "What is going on?"

I lifted my head up and saw Abram standing in front of me. I felt embarrassed and tears were running down my cheeks.

"Oh Abram, we are having some fun, you too join us”, One of the girls told.

I thought, "Abram is a bully too. Perhaps that's why he was trying to befriend me so that he could later make fun of me and insult me!"

"Natasha, apologize to her right now", Abram told and I looked at him with my eyes wide open. "What are you saying, Abram?" The girl, Natasha, asked Abram angrily.

"Didn't you hear, Natasha? Apologize to her, right now", Abram told and Natasha was shocked. "Abram what are you saying? Are you kidding me?", She asked

"No I am not", He spoke in a serious tone.

"I'll never apologize to this nerd”, Natasha told furiously, giving me a deadly glare.

"Natasha, you very well know, my brother is the trustee of our school. It won't even take a minute for me to get you rusticated from the college”, Abram said.

"Abram, are you fucking serious? You are going to get me expelled from the school for this nerd? Wow!", Natasha told clapping her hands.

"I'll just count till three, later don't blame me for the consequence you and your group will face”, He warned them.

Natasha's friends began to apologize to me and went away from there leaving me, Abram and Natasha all alone.

"Come on Natasha, apologize to her", Abram told. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Sorry", Natasha told, giving me threatening glares and went away. Abram bent down and helped me to stand up.

"Are you okay?", He asked worriedly and I nodded.

"Thank you", I spoke in a faint murmur.

"It's okay you need not thank me", He told passing on a friendly smile to me and I smiled back. "Come, I will drop you at your home", He told smiling.

"No Thank you, my house is not very far, it's just a few minutes away, I'll go walking", I told politely. "Oh so let me accompany you, walking, we will gossip”, He told smiling cheekily showing his teeth. I replied an okay and we proceeded towards my home.

"So with whom do you live?”, Abram asked.

"I stay with my Uncle and Aunt”, I answered.

"Oh, I see. Where are your parents?", He asked.

"They are dead", I replied sadly.

"I---1 am so sorry", Abram told. I smiled and replied, "No--that's okay. What about you, who do you stay with?"

"I stay with my elder brother, my father passed away eight years back and after my father's demise within a few months my mom passed away too", Abram responded with tears in his eyes.

"There is my home", I told smiling.

"You come from a well to do family. Why don't you ask your uncle and aunt to complain against Natasha and their gang who bully you?”, Abram asked.

"No person except your parents care for you", I replied sadly.

He smiled and replied, "But I do.”

I didn't know how to respond so I just smiled and bade him goodbye. I was about to leave when he held my hand and I looked at him.

"I--1 am sorry", He replied leaving my hand immediately. "Can I get your number please?" He asked. "Sure", I replied and we exchanged our numbers.

Few months passed, we became best buddies. Nobody even dared to bully me and I felt protected when he was around.

Abram asked me out for dinner and I agreed as Uncle and Aunt had gone on holidays for a few weeks. He told me that he would pick me up at eight sharp.

In the evening I started to get ready for dinner. I wore a black net knee-length dress with a pair of black wedges. I applied light makeup and tied my hair in a bun leaving a few strands on my face.

It was eight, I heard the honking of Abram's car. I quickly took my purse and ran downstairs. I locked the door of the house and went towards Abram's car. Abram opened the door for me and I sat in the car. He looked at me without blinking his eyes.

"Am I looking ugly?”, I asked.

"No crazy, you are looking breathtaking”, He answered smiling. I blushed by listening to his remark. We fastened the seatbelt and he started the car. We drove off to the 5-star hotel.

He offered me his arm like a gentleman and we went inside the hotel. He already booked a table for us. He pulled a chair for me and I sat down. He too sat opposite to me

The waiter came to take the order.

"Natalie what will you have?" Abram asked.

"Anything which you would order”, I told smiling.

"Really?”, He told raising his brows.

"Hmm", I replied looking at him.

"Okay, waiter, two Bruschetta, lasagna, Chicken taquitos, and two apple pie for deserts”, Abram told and the waiter left after taking the order

"Umm--Natalie I want to confess something”, Abram told shyly.

"Yes, tell me?" I replied.

"I---- me--I-", he began to stammer.

"What I, me, 1", I asked confusingly.

"Oh god, is he going to propose to me?" I thought. My heart started beating wildly.

"Natalie, first promise me you won't beat me, or break friendship with me?", Abram told.

"Why will I beat you, Abram?" I asked laughing.

"No first you have to promise me", Abram said, stubbornly.

"Okay, fine, I promise you that I won't beat you nor will I break friendship with you. Happy? Now tell me what do you want to say", I asked.

"Natalie---I--", He was about to say when the waiter came with the order.

"Thank you", Abram told smiling and the waiter took a leave.

"Yes, Abram tell me, what do you want to say?", I asked.

"Natalie, I guess I am in love with you", He said in a go, closing his eyes and I looked at him blushing.

Rather than being angry at him, I was blushing. Somewhere, I was happy when he confessed his feelings for me. Somewhere, I felt the same thing. Perhaps, I had fallen for him.

"Abram--1 don't know what to say?” I told fidgeting with my fingers.

"Are you not angry at me?", He asked shockingly.

"No. I am not," I replied.

"So do you love me back?", He asked excitedly and with happiness in his voice.

"No, I did not say that", I replied and he made a sad face

We started having our dinner silently while Abram kept on glancing at me, making sad pouts. He was looking very cute, I was falling for him. After completing our dinner, Abram cleared the bill and we left. We sat in the car and drove back to my house. There was a deserted street on the way back to my house.

And suddenly, something unexpected happened. We were attacked by a huge black colored wolf. I screamed out in fear while Abram was shocked to see the wolf but he was not scared.

"Natalie, do you know how to drive?”, Abram questioned and I nodded.

"Come, here on the driving seat", He told. "But Abram, if we get down from the car this wolf will kill us", I told with tears in my eyes.

"Do you trust me?", He asked looking right into my eyes and I nodded. Because I did trust him.

I and Abram got down from the car. The wolf was about to pounce upon me but Abram came in between.

"Natalie sit in the car and just run away from here”, He yelled at me and I did what he said.

At late night, I tried calling Abram but he wasn't taking my call. I could not sleep the entire night, I was just praying to God for his well being.

In the morning I got ready and rushed to the college to meet Abram, where I learned the painful truth that Abram got killed yesterday in an animal attack.

FLASHBACK ENDS

I was all in tears, remembering the events of the past. Theodore saw me crying and he asked worriedly.

"Natalie, baby are you okay?"

I couldn't stop my tears so I just hugged him and cried my heart out. He kept on patting my head and rubbing my back to calm me down. My eyes started to feel heavy and I went into a deep slumber.
