Cold chills ran down my spine, making me shiver and my eyes went to the men behind him, their mischievous faces making fear generate in me. “Damien did not permit you to.” Those words tasted bitter in my mouth, because I knew deep down in my heart that if he were here he’d definitely give his friend the permission. “Well, yes he didn’t, but he doesn’t value you, you know?” His lips stretched into a smirk and he leaned closer to me, adding in a whisper. “Doesn’t even believe you’re his mate.” My eyes went wide in shock and I opened my mouth several times to say something, but no words were forming at all. “You know?!” My fists clenched tightly in anger as I tried to restrain myself from hitting him. “You know!” The words came out again, this time a feeling of sadness washed over me. If he could sense it that I was Damien’s mate, then that could only mean one thing, which is, everyone could sense it. They could feel that I’m his mate, but refused to say anything about it. Refused to he
My shoulders were still bleeding badly when I woke up in the cell. I was laid on the bare ground covered in my own pool of blood. I groaned loud as pain shot through my arm as I tried sitting up from the ground. “Are you there?” I leaned against the wall, waiting to hear her voice. I sighed, about a minute later when I heard nothing. “I guess she’s gone. We were never friends though.” I rolled my eyes, leaning my head against the wall. “Jumping into conclusion huh?” My brows rose and excitement rushed through me when I heard her snicker. “You didn’t leave!” “Why would I?” She replied with a small chuckle. “You never stayed, always disappearing and leaving me alone to fix up your mess.” “It was never my fault.” “Ugh, you’re so destructive you know?” “It wasn’t deliberate Bella, I never liked any of those things I did.” “Then you’ve stopped them, you put me in a lot of trouble.” “Bella! I’m also a victim here, don’t blame it all on me.” “You’re the stealer wolf, it’s your fault
Sweats mixed with blood dripped from my head down to the floor as I hung from the wall. On a futile attempt I tried to move my arms which were braced tightly to the wall. A small whimper escaped my lips when I realized nothing could be done and I couldn’t even save myself from this. I tried to reach out to my wolf but it was like she was long gone. She probably couldn’t take the torture.Did I feel regret?No.I have no idea which is a bigger torture between this, or letting does men have me. If I were ever going to escape from this place, I’d definitely want to have a little of my dignity. I don’t want to be looked upon as a worthless thing they all used freely.The sound of the door opening made me cringe and let out a small groan. My head hurts badly after being bashed several times and every slightest disturbing sound causes it to hurt more.I tried to look up, ignoring the cramp around my neck. A guard walked into the room straight to the table. I whimpered in pain and fear helple
Silence. Peace. That is all I feel now. Is this what death feels like? Everywhere is peaceful, no pain at all. I feel like I'm floating and I don't want to ever leave. This is for me. Maybe death is for me. I don't ever want to love again then. I just want to be in such a serene environment. I tried to move my arms but a small sting in my hand made me halt my movements. I tried to move again and it was just the same, but I felt a palm on my arm and a feminine voice spoke in a soft voice. "Hey, easy." Huh? I tried to open my eyes but the blinding light from the fluorescent bulb above my head made me shut them immediately. I opened my eyes again, slowly this time, squinting to avoid the eyes from affecting my eyes. Linda is sitting beside me, her face holding so much concern and sympathy. Huh? I thought I died. "Bella?" Her brows rose in surprise as she moved closer to the bed. "What are you thinking?" She rubbed my shoulders, moving her hands up to stroke my hair. I felt a l
A few minutes later Linda came with food, which was just egg, bacon and toast. She stayed and watched me eat before leaving. She already removed the IV from my hands and gave me some kind of drug to take. I lay back on the bed, listening to the distant noises around the house. With nothing else to do, I decided to sleep but before I closed my eyes, I heard the sounds of vehicles driving into the compound. I heard the front door open and footsteps walking up the stairs. My heart rate picks up when I hear a familiar voice on the other side of the door."Is she okay?""She's fine alpha, she's taking some rest now." I hear Linda reply. Suddenly the door went open and I quickly shut my eyes, pretending to be asleep. His footsteps echoed in the room and his familiar cologne found its way into my nostrils. My heart skipped a beat and I restrained from opening my eyes to take a peep when I heard him pull a chair, sitting on it. I could feel his gaze piercing into my skin and I felt a little
It took a few seconds before I finally understood what she was saying. My head went blank and I had no idea what to say.He wants me? I shook my head in disbelief still finding it hard to believe the man that hated me so much and would do anything to see me hurt actually wanted to have sexual intimacy with me. My body cringed at the slightest imagination of being that close to him. I shook the thought off my head and grabbed the dress quickly when I heard Mistress Nina snarl ready to yell at me for not doing what she said immediately. I got dressed in a few minutes, putting on the uncomfortable pair of heels. Nina walked out of the room after I finished brushing my hair, I placed my hands on the wall trying to trip and fall as I tried walking after her. We climbed up the long flight of stairs, heading to the corridor I knew must lead to Damien's room. My eyes moved around as we walked into what seemed like another corridor, I have never been to this part of the building so it was
I heaved out another heavy breath for the umpteenth time as I swept the floor of the kitchen. It was hard trying not to think of the events of yesterday, especially with the fact Freya does not even want to hear a thing about him. She hates him just like he is to us and that I know for sure, builds more gap between us ever falling in love, maybe. I shook my head and rolled my eye when she growled deeply, like a warning to stop thinking about him. I just couldn’t help it honestly; his action yesterday made me think there might be a chance this might be over and things might work out right between us. But his wolf is a problem here also, the hate he has towards me makes this quite impossible. If only I could convince him, make him see differently than just a stealer and murderer. “Fine,” I rolled my eyes when Freya growled again, getting angry at my thoughts. My brows knitted together when I suddenly heard a strange voice yelling in the living room. Though, it wasn’t an angry one. Out
“But alpha,” “Fuck it, Lucas, just do as I said,” I snapped, already getting pissed at his objections. “Yes, alpha,” Lucas replied, giving a quick bow. “Good, now leave.” I gave the last order waving his hands dismissively. Though I knew I could save myself the stress of getting into trouble with Blake or worst starting a war by simply handing her over to him, I felt this strange possessiveness taking over me. I own her and no one can take her from me. “David,” I called my gamma, David through mind-linking. “Alpha.” His voice came through. “Double security at the borders, we might expect an attack.” * Bella’s POV I leaned against the cabinet, placing my hand on my chest as I let out repeated heavy breaths. Shit, I shouldn’t have thought about eavesdropping, now he caught me. What was I thinking?! Eavesdropping on an alpha’s conversation with his brother, it’s forbidden! I grabbed my hair, pulling it tight as I let out a low groan, feeling disappointed in myself. It never
