We sat in silence, rarely making eye contact. I slowly ate my food, scared to move too quickly out of fear that it would piss him off. He's beaten me so badly, I'm not even sure my own mother would recognize me. But he demanded we go to dinner together so here we are, eating in public.
I noticed a few of the patrons looking at me with pity. My black and blue swollen face cowering over a plate of French fries. I tried to take a bite of my burger but my jaw wouldn't open that far.
My abuser, who also happens to be my husband, devoured his food like an animal. I used to be attracted to the way he ate. I used to think he was my perfect Alpha and I, his perfect Omega. I couldn't have been more wrong.
The bell on the door jingled and the most stunning man I've ever seen in my life strutted into the diner. He tipped his hat at a waitress and sat down at a booth across from us.
My husband belched then left. I had no idea where he was going but he obviously didn't feel inclined to tell me. I could feel the mystery man of my dreams watching me. It was like his eyes were hugging me from a distance. After a few minutes, he made his way over to my table and knelt beside me.
When I looked into those baby blue eyes my heart sank. He was like a dream -- but far more attractive than I ever could have imagine on my own. He asked me if I was alright. I nodded but couldn't stop the tears from welling in my eyes. He didn't have to say anything else.
My husband came back and saw him talking to me. He immediately dragged me out of the restaurant and threw me into the car. I tried to explain that I didn't know the man and he was simply asking for directions but my husband was enraged. He grabbed me by the neck and began choking me as he screamed that tonight was the night I was going to die. I desperately tried to get free from his grasp. My eyes wandered around the car and I noticed a motorcycle in the rear view mirror. It was him. My mystery man.
Will this mystery man come to my rescue? Or will this be my last meal?
