"You can just tell your brothers to let me go, it's as simple as that," she negotiated but got no answer from him.
He just stood there, staring at her. If she didn't know any better, she would've said he was gazing at her in admiration.

'Idiots, you all are a bunch of idiots. Keeping large dogs as pets, kidnapping me, torturing me, and was that creature even a dog? I bet it wasn't but it sure looked close enough.
If that dog had bitten me, I'm sure I would've been in the hospital or dead. Why did we have to leave our aunt's place?
If we had just taken dad's disappearance in good faith, we would've still been in a messy home but no one making her life a living hell, perhaps being around friends.' She anticipated, as she rocked her body on the bed, her palms together and hiding in between her thighs.

'Well here wasn't that bad, I'm surrounded by hot guys. Well, this one is the hottest. Or his twin brother...Come on I need to stop thinking that. These men are kidnappers.' She scolded herself as her other part wandered elsewhere.

"Hottest you say," he teased, jolting her out from her thoughts. 'I didn't say that aloud. I know I didn't. Or did I?' She pondered for a second. Her eyes grew wider as she watched him smile.
That mesmerized her: since she was brought there, anything she had seen close to a smile was his smirk. His smile made him more handsome, It was animated and full of confidence.

"I didn't say that aloud. How did you know?" She began panicking.

"You eyeing me says it all," he simply answered, leaving her room.

'My room. Why am I even getting comfortable after talking with him?' She believed something was wrong with her.

She was planning on negotiating with one of them, perhaps the one that just left; he knew she was innocent. They weren't as bad as she had mistaken them for.
They gave her food, and clothes and took care of her as if she were a guest. Aside from locking her up in the room.

Well and also not the time they had brought her in but after she was brought to the room, she was being treated well.

"Boom!" One of the brothers barged into the room, it was Simon that barged in.

Weirdly, a smile broke on her face as she saw him, he had been gone for a while. She was only met by his frowning and unfriendly face, wiping her happy one.

"Well I know you own this house and everything in it but at least you should consider knocking before entering a lady's room and besides since I'm going to be spending some time here, mind introducing yourselves to me?
I only know three of your names. I'm tired of screaming oh here's another brother when one of you shows up."

"We brought in your friend as well. She told us you knew everything and she was only to dance with you. She told us you were your boss's favorite," he angrily pushed.

"That witch! She lied to you. She is our boss's mistress, not me. Why do you believe her? I also told you I knew nothing about your mother and I was just the dancer but no, you kept me and tortured me.
I still do not know why you guys moved me here and are nursing my wounds but you guys didn't believe me so why did you believe her?" She told them as she thought of the rest-

'The nerve of these people. Maybe I had been too calm to look troubled but it was getting annoying and I wouldn't be called anyone's mistress. Ewww and certainly not my boss's.
He is like a brother to me!' She wanted to spit out but held her tongue as this one seemed to be ruder than the other.

"We do not know which one of you is telling the truth but before we are through with you two, you'd wish you were indeed innocent," he threatened, pacing the room while he kept his distance.

Simon came out of the room and went straight to the library. His brothers and a few of the werewolves were all seated waiting to hear from him. Jordan was already in his room, taking his shower.

"You know we aren't doing anything to her because she's your mate right?" Simon couldn't contain his desperation anymore.

"And you've already marked her, you should've known better!" He spoke with disgust evident in his tone.
That only made Alan and Scott angry as well. Did they need anyone's permission before they could mark their mate?

"What makes you think you can speak to me like that? What makes you think she isn't good enough for me?
I already told you guys she's innocent," he also snapped back. That alerted the others as they saw both their wolves trying to take control.

The last thing they needed was a fight between their Alpha and Beta and most of all, their elder brothers.

"She's my mate and she's already claimed! If any of you touch her, you'd have to face me. I don't care who you are, hurt a thing on her and I'd snap your neck.
Mark my words!" That warning was enough to get everyone who had mistreated her, to bow their heads.

They had done that without knowing she was mated to their Beta. He also had kept quiet about it.
If not that Simon had warned them the second day she was brought there, they all would've been in bed with a part of their body, broken or torn.

"Chill man, the others are watching," Andrew pushed Alan who was on his feet, back into his seat.
Alan could've cared less if the others were watching or not. Among all the brothers, he was the calmest and most vulnerable. He was just born with that.

Even that was so, he was the most handsome among the brothers and even their cousins. He grew up toughing himself up but where his mate was concerned, he couldn't help but become that little boy again.

"So are you marrying her?" That was Jackson, he could hear them from the hallway and thought Simon went too far.
