Raven POV

Marissa broaches the subject of her and Hade’s engagement at breakfast the next morning. “Hades, don’t you think it’s time we made it official? My mother has been waiting for the announcement. She’s growing a little,” her voice lowers dramatically, “impatient. She wants us to plan the wedding and choose a date already.”

“Your mother has no business butting into our affairs,” Hades said with a faint twinge of annoyance, a dark look on his face.

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 124: Nightmare

    Marissa POVIt was dark. Pitch black. All around me, all I could see was darkness, my hands reaching out only to touch what felt like air. I frowned, feeling confused. Where was I?Was this death? Had I died as Alice had intended? Memories came flooding back of Alice sedating me, hanging me as I struggled to breathe. I'd been helpless. Vulnerable. Inside my mind, I'd screamed out for Damien, but he never showed. He'd left me there, in the dungeon to rot, and this was the consequence. Maybe now that I was dead, he and Alice could get together like she wanted. Laughter fills the air. I cringe. It's impossible, but I know that sound. It fills me with dread. She's dead. She's gone, but somehow, her voice fills the air, and as I awkwardly turn around, my feet feeling like they are standing on black clouds, I see her. She's just as I remember. "You're dead," I blurted out. She laughs. "Oh come now dearest daughter, is that any way to greet your mother?" she sneered. I scoffed. "You a

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 123: Suspicious

    Damien POVIt's been a long, torturous week. Every time I close my eyes, I see her face, the tears dripping down her face, and most importantly, the sound of her voice as she begs me to believe her. The longer I spend away from her, trying not to think of how I put my own mate in the dungeon, the harder it is. "You've been distracted lately," Aaron's voice cuts through my distraction, and I blink, glaring at him. "I've been working," I corrected moodily. "The gala is tomorrow," he reminded me, "you need to have your head screwed on straight. Do you think being distracted right now is beneficial to anyone? Don't tell me you're hung up on that girl, your mate," he said cruelly, "in the dungeon still. She deserved what she got.""Shut your mouth," I snarled, slamming my hands on my desk as he stared at me, "and don't talk about her like that."He sighed and shook his head. "The gala is important, Damien. You already promised to take Alice, remember? Besides," he scoffed, "as long as

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 122: Cornered

    Marissa POVIt's cold. So cold I can see my breath. I shiver, sitting on the mattress, arms wrapped tightly around myself. I'd been given clothes to cover up my nudity, but they were thin, ragged, and barely better than rags. I rocked back and forth, glancing up at the windows and eying them longingly. There was no hope of escape with the bars, but what I was desperate for right now was sunshine. Sunshine, plenty of water, and the type of food that didn't make me feel like vomiting when I looked or smelled it. It's been more than a week without Damien even checking on me. More than a week since I've heard his voice or seen his face. More than a week of having guards staring at me, keeping watch as though I'm about to do something inexcusable. My wolf is weak. The wolfsbane keeps her at bay. I can't speak to her, can barely feel her. The thought of losing her is more than I can bear. She wasn't to blame for this. She was innocent, not that it mattered. The door swings open. For a mo

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 121: Plans

    Damien POVI can still see her face. Still hear that crack in her voice when she speaks. The defeated expression on her face just about broke me. I'd had to steel myself when I'd seen her and now it felt like a rubber band was squeezing my chest and refusing to let up. What had I done? "You did the right thing, Damien," Aaron spoke beside me as we watched the warriors training."Did I?" I said darkly, unable to hide the bitterness in my voice.I'd been hoping that Marissa might have changed, and she hadn't even lasted a day before she'd gone back to her dirty tricks. That was what was so infuriating. I didn't do it!She'd practically screamed the words at me. Begged me to believe her. But I'd known Alice for years, and she'd never so much as harmed a hair on another pack member's head. It was impossible and yet...Marissa's voice had rung with sincerity. "You can't be soft on her just because of you know..." Aaron murmured.He was one of the few who knew Marissa's true identity an

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 120: Grief

    Marissa POVIt's cold. The kind of cold that numbs your body all over and leaves you feeling like your body will never get warm. The air is damp, filled with mildew, and I can smell that distinct metallic smell of blood that lingers long after it's scrubbed from the floors. The ground is hard, concrete. The darkness is heavy, the only light shining through the narrow rectangular windows near the ceiling, all covered in bars to prevent the prisoners from escaping. The cell contains a simple mattress, a toilet, and a sink. No other luxuries. The bars are silver, designed to burn flesh and keep you confined. A simple dose of wolsbane forced down my throat to prevent me from shifting. They don't bother to restrain me. I sit, staring blindly into the distance, my arms wrapped around my body in a valiant attempt to bring some warmth to it. I'm naked, exposed, and feel vulnerable, but I have no doubt that's what they want me to feel. I can sense the guard's eyes on me, appraising, careful,

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 119: Conniving

    Third Person POVShe smirked to herself, unable to hide the satisfaction on her face. It had been too easy, framing that fucking slut and making her regret ever trying to cross her. Now Marissa was in the dungeon, facing the consequences of what Alice had forced her to do, and Alice was now on top, just like she had always been. She'd personally eliminated the threat to her, and nothing had made her happier.She straightened up as she heard the sound of footsteps approaching her, already smelling his distinct scent wafting down the hallway. He'd been so easily manipulated. Fallen for her tricks, but he always had. He'd never questioned her, not ever. Any omega who dared to try and betray her were quickly handled. She refused to let anybody get close enough to Damien to snitch. Although she doubted he would believe anybody stupid enough to go to him. A hand gently gripped her arm, Damien stepping in front of her, his eyes narrowed as he took in her wound, which was already beginning
