Naomi was eating her delicious dinner alone at the table, listening to jazz music, enjoying her solitude. She finished her meal with her favorite wine, ending up with three glasses before deciding to stop or else she would get drunk.
She had rented a nice villa near the beach after a one-week business conference as her father's representative. She wanted to relax before going home. After finishing her meal, she watched TV for an hour. Afterward, she took a quick shower, preparing for sleep. She put on her pajamas, turned off the light and lay down on the bed.
Half an hour later she had fallen asleep, snoring softly.
She slept so soundly she didn't notice the bedroom door opening. Three men dressed in black and wearing face masks entered the room in silence. The leader switched on the lights.
"Careful not to wake her up," the leader said in a whisper.
"Relax, boss, she's not going to wake up after drinking the wine laced with sleeping pills, currently the best on the market. She will be knocked out for 24 hours straight," one of the men replied calmly.
"Alright, let's get moving," the leader barked his order.
The bulky man wrapped Naomi's sleeping form in a blanket and carried her in his arms out of the room, heading for the black van waiting outside.
"Be careful with her, no bruises on her body or else we won't get paid!" the leader of the men reminded his men.
"Copy, boss." The bulky man gently lowered Naomi's sleeping form into the back seat of the black van.
"Ready to go?" the driver asked.
"Yes we are. Start driving!" the leader answered.
The driver starts the engine and off they go to their final destination.
After five hours of non-stop driving in the countryside, the vehicle entered a facility located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by towering trees, lush greenery and majestic mountains looming in the distance.
The men deposited their valuable cargo in the hands of the staff working at the facility.
Outside, the three men waited patiently for verification of their successful transaction. Finally, after half an hour of waiting, the leader received a notification message on his mobile phone. He smiled broadly and declared, "We've been paid!"
"Alright, let's go!" The men left the facility in high spirits.
A few minutes later, another black van arrived. A guy can be seen lying unconscious in the back seat. Two men picked up his body and put him on a stretcher bed, attended by staff in the facility.
Meanwhile...
A thousand miles away, a man and a woman can be seen drinking vodka on the veranda of a mansion situated at the top of a hill overlooking the city, smiling at each other victoriously.
"We succeeded with our plan!" the guy said in satisfaction.
"Yes we are! Now let's see what will happen next," the woman replied in glee.
"Cheers!" they said merrily, clinking their glasses.
Back at the facility, the sleeping bodies were placed beside each other on a king-sized bed. One of the staff draped blankets over their sleeping form.
"Is everything good?" the woman asked her companion.
"Yes, perfect! We're done here, it is time to leave the room," his companion replied.
They left the room via a door hidden behind the walls.
Naomi and the guy continue to sleep peacefully beside each other in bed.
Outside the facility, time continues to move forward.
Hours went by, the night faded, and another day had just begun.
Morning and afternoon passed like a blur. And at 7:00 in the evening, Naomi finally stirred up in her sleep. Opening her eyelids slowly, adjusting to the light hitting her eyes.
She's fully awake.
She rubbed her eyes and the first thing she noticed was the different color of the ceiling. It used to be light yellow, but now it's pure white and when she looked beside her, she saw a guy! She leaped out of bed in shock and trepidation.
Her eyes widened in fright, her body trembling in horror for a reason. It finally dawned on her that she was not alone in bed the whole time she was asleep.
Her eyes darted around the unfamiliar room, panicking.
What the hell?
What's going on?
This is a different room! But why is she here?
Why is she in this room? The last time she remembered she was in the villa lying on a bed, sleeping.
Whose room is this?
Frowning, she looked at the guy sleeping on the bed. She couldn't see his face clearly. She walked closer to the bed and looked at his face hard. She had seen his face on the cover of a business magazine before. Oh my! She covered her mouth in shock. She finally knew who the person was. He was the famous Alpha Maxwell from the Primal Nightstalker Pack!
Oh no!
She slept on the same bed as the son of her family's archenemy! Their families had hated each other for as long as she can remember. She was scared to death if he finally woke up and saw her. He's going to murder her for sure.
She is doomed!
She needs to escape!
She searched frantically for the door but couldn't find it. Where is the door?
To her shock and surprise, the room had no door! How did they get into this room? Who put them in here?
Who is the mastermind of this sick joke?
There must be a door somewhere!
She started touching the walls frantically, desperate to leave the room before Alpha Maxwell woke up.
She searched everywhere but couldn't find the goddamn door! She was close to tears as frustration, fear and dread suffocated her senses.
She retreats far away from the bed, trembling in fear. Being trapped in the same room as her enemy is like a death sentence.
Think quickly! She screamed mentally, panicking.
What can she do to escape from this place? There is no door, so escape is impossible!
She didn't remember being put in this room, so she slept the whole time she was abducted.
Did Alpha Maxwell kidnap her intentionally? Or were they both kidnapped and imprisoned in this room?
If she dies today, she wants to know the damn truth!
She closed her eyes, thinking about how to protect herself if Alpha Maxwell wakes up and attempts to hurt her.
Unfortunately, she is weak and a wolf less omega. He could easily strangle her with his bare hands.
A deep sigh escapes her lips.
When she opened her eyes, she saw him stir in his sleep. Her heart was filled with dread every second that passed by.
Alpha Maxwell finally opened his eyes wide.
Naomi's heart was beating erratically in her rib cage.
When Alpha Maxwell's eyes hit the ceiling of the room, his brows drew together in confusion, instantly realizing something was wrong. He quickly sat upright on the bed and scanned the room. Then his eyes landed on her trembling form, standing in the corner of the room, staring at him wearing a terrified expression on her face.
Surprise and shock registered in his eyes.
"Why am I here in this room? And why are you here in this room with me?" he asked in a menacing tone.
At that instant, Naomi realized that he didn't know anything. She cleared her throat. "I was sleeping in my bed in my rented villa and when I opened my eyes I was already lying on the bed beside you. This room is without a door and a window. We are trapped here," she explained quickly, not giving him time to suspect her.
A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes. "You mean we are kidnapped and imprisoned here in our sleep?"
"Yes, that's... w...what I understand," she answered, her mouth quivering.
Anger instantly flared up in his eyes. "This is fucking ridiculous!" He sprang from the bed and began pacing back and forth in the room, then stopped and looked at her dangerously.
Oh, no!
She stepped back. "A-are you g...going to kill me?" she asked. Raw fear leaped from her eyes. He will eventually kill her, knowing their families have been mortal enemies for ages.
Alpha Maxwell shook his head. "No. Why would I kill you?"
"B-because our families hated each other," she said nervously.
"Do you know me?" he asked.
"Yes, you are Alpha Maxwell of the Primal Nightstalker Pack," she replied.
"And I know your name, Naomi of the Blue Moon Pack, right?" he asked.
"Yup, that's me," she responded with a nod, watching his movement.
Alpha Maxwell raked his hands on his hair in frustration. Drugged, kidnapped and imprisoned in the room with the daughter of his family's enemy is mind-boggling.
He looked at her. "Listen, I just want you to know that even if our families hate each other, you did nothing wrong to me and I did nothing wrong to you. Therefore, we are not enemies, but our parents are. So don't worry, I won't hurt you. Do you understand?"
Huge relief washed over Naomi. She thought he would kill her. Tears of relief shone in her eyes.
Alpha Maxwell began looking for a door that didn't exist.
"There's no door," she repeated calmly.
"I know. We can't see the door, but there should be a hidden door somewhere," he said. After not seeing the door, he looked down below the bed and saw nothing. He got up and opened the closet and saw some of his things there and new clothes as well.
Naomi checked the closet and saw her stuff in the villa was there as well, and some women's clothes. Why didn't she see the closet before? Or maybe she was focused too much on finding the door and didn't see it. "Why are they doing this to us? What is their purpose of imprisoning us here?" she asked in agitation.
"I have no fucking idea!" Alpha Maxwell snarled, kicking the concrete wall, not bothering to hide his rising anger.
"Who the fuck kidnapped us and brought us together in this room? What is their fucking agenda?" Alpha Maxwell asked, furious, his voice thundering around the room. "I will chop them into pieces after I get out of here!" He snarled.
"Sadly, we might die here if rescue didn't come because there is no door that would lead us outside," she said miserably, tears forming in her eyes.
All of a sudden, they heard a tiny beeping sound.
"Dinner will be served in fifteen minutes," a guy's robotic voice rang in the air.
Surprised, they both looked up at the ceiling where the voice originated.
"Who are you? Answer me dammit!" Alpha Maxwell ordered angrily, eyes fixed on the ceiling.
