Nicholas’s POV
I tore the paper on the wall off, my heart skipping in my chest when the red light on the small, almost unnoticeable camera blinked at me.
So this was what was watching me all these while.
I tried to yank it out, but it didn’t budge, so I showed it my middle finger before grabbing a tape from one of the drawers. I placed three layers of tape over the camera until I could no longer see the red light before letting out a sigh of relief.
Then I grabbed the pair of scissors on the nightstand and started to dig out the damn thing. Paint particles and dust poured on my body but I didn’t stop until I dug it out from the hole.
It was a long yet small camera that had been watching me all these while. In fury, I dropped it to the ground and stepped on it over and over and over again until it was destroyed under my feet.
"Stupid stalker! Fuck you!" I hissed before collapsing to the bed as I finally felt free. From now on, I would lock up my doors so no one would have access to come in and install any cameras anymore.
Also, I had to find out who it was. I had to think of a way to set up a trap so I could catch them red-handed.
If Cassian wouldn’t help me, then I would help myself.
"Just because I’m an omega doesn’t mean I’ll let you walk all over me." I whispered to myself before collapsing on my bed, a small smile on my face.
I celebrated a little too early when I got another message from a different unknown number, showing pictures of me trying to take down the camera earlier.
So there weren’t just one but multiple cameras in the room.
I started to search the entire room, moving the bed all over the place as I carefully touched the walls for signs of a hidden camera.
And I found them. Not just one but about ten of them surrounding the room. When I was sure I had checked every nook and cranny of the room, I threw everything into the bathroom and watched them flush away with the water.
It dawned on me that this "person" must have watched me fuck myself on my dildo or even when I was jerking off to stop my wolf from losing control. He knew everything.
He might even have footage of me doing that.
How sick could this person be? Did it turn him on? Did it help him cum at night? What the fuck happened to respecting people’s privacy?
I decided to check the bathroom too. If they watched me in my room, then there’s no saying that they didn’t watch me take a bath too.
Since the walls were tiled and impossible to drill into, I gave up on that thought and returned to my room.
What if it was one of the brothers? For example... Adrian? He had been acting strange after all.
Or Roman? He did stand outside my door the first night I showed up here like a creep.
Cassian... I couldn’t say. He was always busy after all and he agreed to help me. Besides, the voice didn’t sound like his.
It couldn’t be Elijah. Of all the men I suspected, Elijah wasn’t one of them. Even though he did act strangely hours ago when he left without saying a word...
Or it could be a guard.
I decided not to think about it anymore as I felt that I could finally relax without the fear of being watched. But then that feeling came like a wave upon me and goosebumps rose on my skin as I sat up immediately.
No way, I was sure I got everything...
Just then, my phone buzzed once more and my heart flew to my throat as I shakily grabbed my phone.
The message had me freezing for a moment as my eyes skimmed over it.
"Silly little thing. You think you can stop me from watching you? Think again, darling."
Before I even finished reading the text, an image came in, one of me reading this right now and it looked like it had been taken from...
My eyes trailed upwards as fear gripped me once more. There was a camera on the ceiling. How was I supposed to reach it?.
I got up, ready to find a way to get it out when another message came in and my eyes widened as I read it.
"Don’t even think of trying to get it out. You can’t, anyway. Be a pretty little thing and accept it. I love watching you squirm around in terror. It fills me with joy to know that I can play with you until I have you where I fucking want you. But I’ll leave you alone for now. Enjoy your sweet days while you can. Run if you dare."
Was he planning to kill me? What did he mean to enjoy my sweet days while I could?
I had to tell Mom. This instant.
I dialed Mom’s number, but it went directly to voicemail, making me chew on my fingers in panic. What should I do? What the fuck should I do?
There was one more option I had. But could I trust him? What if he was the one doing all this to make me run to him?
But I had no choice. I got up, wrapping the robe around me tightly as I walked out of the room and walked down the hallway.
When I stopped in front of his room, I let out a shaky breath and raised my hand to knock. But then I hesitated as I took a step back, staring at the door warily.
Before I could turn to leave, the door suddenly opened and Adrian stared at me with confusion and surprise written all over his face.
He was the only one who could help me now. If Cassian wasn’t available, at least he should be able to help... right?
All that shit about possession could finally come to use.
"Are you okay?" He asked, his voice soft as he opened the door wider and I stepped inside. "Are you still mad at me?"
"No..." I muttered as I leaned against the wall. "I don’t want to talk about that. But I’m here to ask for your help."
He seemed very interested in knowing what I needed his help for as he sat down on the bed and patted the space beside him.
"Tell me. If it’s something I can do, then I will." He replied calmly and I let out a deep sigh before handing him my phone.
"I’m being stalked. He has cameras all over my room. I’ve managed to get rid of ten of them. But there’s more that I can’t reach." I explained and his gaze darkened as he saw the pictures and messages I’ve been receiving.
"Why didn’t you tell me on time?" He asked, his voice cold and I swallowed hard. "Who the fuck does he think he is? In my fucking house?"
So it wasn’t him.
"I didn’t think it would get so bad. I tried asking Cassian for help and he told me to give him my phone but I can’t find him now—"
"Hold on, was that why you slept with him? So he would help you?" He asked with raised brows as he finally turned to me and I nodded in embarrassment.
"Seduction is the key to getting everything you want. So I heard." I replied with my lips thinned. "I had no choice."
"And now you need my help?" He asked again and I nodded slowly. "Does that mean you will seduce me too?"
Just as I thought. I couldn’t help but sigh. All men are the same. All alphas are the same.
"Do you want me to?" I asked as I got up, slowly taking the robe off my shoulders and he gulped hard. "I’ll do anything to be free. As long as you help me."
"I’m not Cassian." He mumbled as he got up, stopping me from taking it off completely. "And I won’t do what I did before again. I won’t force you to do something against your will."
"But I’m willing." I whispered and he froze. "I don’t want you to do it for me without getting anything in return. You did say I was your possession, right? Then take me. Prove it to me. Show me."
"You’re playing a dangerous game, Nicholas." He muttered as he shook his head. "You don’t have to give me anything in return—"
"I would feel indebted to you if I don’t." I cut him off softly as I took his hand and placed it on my bare chest. "Please, just do it. I’ll give myself to you, as long as you help me."
He hesitated for a moment and then pulled me in, his lips smashing against mine without restraint as I grabbed his shoulders for support.
Anything for my freedom.
