Chapter 10: Escape Plan
Samara
There’s no way I can sleep with the ideas that Roman has put in my head. Who makes a woman feel so good that she screams? That doesn’t even make sense. But he said it with absolute confidence, and I’d felt my body respond. I need to get
away from this man and I need to do it quickly.
I wait until his breathing evens out and then I carefully pull myself out from under his arm. I’m sure it was meant to keep me captive overnight, but that’s not happening. I have no idea where I’ll go once I’m away from him. What I do know is that I can’t return to Alpha William’s pack. I won’t risk Roman going after him and killing his pack to find me.
I’ve just reached the edge of the bed when I hear a warning growl behind me. I turn quickly and see Roman watching me in
the darkness. No, not Roman, Pierce.
T have to pee. You’re not going to keep me in this bed while I pee are you?” I whisper yell at Roman’s wolf. I can’t believe he stayed awake to watch over me.
‘Really, you can’t believe that? If he hadn’t, I wouldn’t have thought him worthy of us, Ayla says, watching him through my
eyes
‘He isn’t worthy of us,‘ I insist
The man may not be, but the wolf is growing on me,‘ she says.
“Do I need to escort you, mate?” he asks me.
“Only if you want to be neutered, Alpha,” Igrowl at him.
He merely chuckles as I get up and go to the bathroom. I didn’t have to go, but now I force myself to sit until I can pee. While I do, I think about my situation and how I can get out of here. I look around, trying to find something that I could use as a weapon. I’m not stupid enough to kill Roman in the current situation that I’m in. I need time to kill Sawyer too and if I kill Roman now, it will be a race against time and his pack to get to Sawyer before they kill me. I don’t care if I die avenging my family’s death, but I do care if I die before I’ve taken back what was taken from me.
Since there’s nothing useful as a weapon in the shower or on the sink, I stand and turn to the toilet. I’m pretty sure there’s a piece of metal in there, something that I could stab Roman with before I make my escape. It won’t stop him, but if I aim it properly, it’ll wound him enough to give me good head start.
As I flush the toilet, I quickly and quietly remove the top of the water basin. Nothing in there is large, but there are several metal pieces. There’s a thin metal piece attached to a chain. I tap it quickly. It’s not silver, so rll have to stab him somewhere that will take time to heal, like his heart or even his lung. I just need enough time to get away from him before he calls his
warriors to hunt me down
I quickly break off the metal piece along with the chain. Then I quickly wash my hands in case Pierce is listening to me. When I’m done, I dry my hands and the metal piece before wrapping my hand around it tightly. I’ll have to be fast so Pierce doesn’t suspect me
I turn off the light and open the door. Because I was in the light, I stand, waiting for my eyes to readjust to the dark.
“What are you doing?” Roman’s deep, tired voice asks. Of course, Pierce had to go and wake him up. Maybe this is better, although I liked my odds with only one of them awake.
I told Pierce that I had to go to the bathroom. Geez,” I snap.
“Ayla, are you ready? I ask her. I’ll need her strength now that both man and wolf are awake.
‘Don’t kill him,‘ she says.

My eyes have just adjusted enough to see Roman’s body. He gestures for me to enter the bedroom ahead of him. I casually take a step past him, then spin, raising my hand and slamming it forward, ready to pierce his heart.
Instead, my wrist is grabbed and I’m spun around, one arm pinned behind my back as Roman’s other arm slams across my chest pinning me against his body
I begin flailing around, but the element of surprise is already gone.
my ear and he clicks his tongue, as if I didn’t just try to attack him
I feel his face move next to my
“Tsk, tsk tsk. You’ve been acting like an omega for so long that you’ve lost your touch, Alpha You aren’t nearly as fast and stealthy as an Alpha wolf should be. That measly attempt to kill me was almost embarrassingly easy to figure out and
eliminate.”
He’s obviously taunting me, and his voice remains calm, but I feel the anger rolling off of him
“I wasn’t trying to kill you,” I snap.
“No?” His tone drips with skepticism.
n tone
“If a measly little piece of metal can kill you, then perhaps you aren’t the strongest Alpha in the region,” I say, my own taunting, as if Tm questioning his abilities as an Alpha as much as he’s questioning mine.
He chuckles. “What was your plan
your plan then?”
“To get away from you, of course
“I see,” he says, suddenly releasing me, but pulling the piece of metal from my hand as he steps back. I instantly feel the lack of heat against my back, and I shiver involuntarily at the loss.
“Go ahead then. Let’s just say you stabbed me, incapacitated me for oh, for kicks and grins let’s say five minutes. Go ahead.
I’ll give you a head start.”
I frown, watching him. I take a step toward the door, but he doesn’t move, I continue to walk backward towards the door, but he stays where he is, his head tilting as he watches me
“You’re wasting time. You’d better hurry,” he says, and I wonder if this is some sick game. Thankfully Ayla is exceptionally fast. Our biggest problem will be her white fur standing out in the night
When I grab the doorknob, he still doesn’t move. If he’s willing to give me the head start, I’ll take it and never look back. 1 yank the door open but before I can take a step outside, three large warriors stand in my way.
“You didn’t really think that I wouldn’t have guards on the door, did you?” he asks, mocking me.
I growl at the men standing in front of me. I see their eyes flicker to Roman, then back to me.
“Come on now, you’ve had your fun. Back to bed, kitten,” he says. I slam the door closed and turn to look at him. He taps the bed “Put your claws away and let’s go back to sleep. You’re not going anywhere, except to my pack”
I stomp over to him, getting right in his face.
“You are an arrogant piece of shit,” I growl.
He leans down, close enough that his nose touches mine. I’m YOUR arrogant piece of shit. Now get into bed before I put you there.”
I growl at his demanding tone and turn, crawling onto the bed
1 yelp as his hand smacks my ass cheek hard.
“And don’t you dare try to stab me again.”
Cooper
There’s a lot of tension between these two….
