Derek’s POV I was sure that I couldn’t even see Erika if I really let Richard get his way. So I didn’t even meet him. Yes, it was Francis who went to meet Richard, not me. He changed into my look and used my voice. That was very easy for him. He had been imitating me since he was a teenager because I was much stronger than he was. This time, his task was to stall for more time so that I could find Erika. I stood on a tree outside the dump with a telescope in my hands. Angel was waiting for the order behind the wall of the dump. Kent was on the other side of the dump. He would stand up if it didn’t go as planned. I could feel Erika’s presence around me, but I couldn’t feel where she exactly was. Now I regretted why I didn’t mark her more times and strengthen the mate bond between us. Francis had walked in for a while and he didn’t give me any messages. I tried to talk with Erika to know where she was and how she felt. “Erika, can you feel me? I’m near you and I’ll save you soon.”
Erika’s POVIt was getting harder and harder to distinguish reality from the dream.It was dark and cold and stinky. Was I still in that little hut, the dark and stinky room? Was there a rat who wanted to eat me? Was my life still in danger? I didn’t know and I couldn’t figure it out because everything was dark. The only thing I knew was that I was very weak. I was so weak that I couldn’t do anything if a fat rat wanted to eat me. I felt as weak and insecure as I did when I was a little girl. If something terrible happened, I could do nothing to stop it.Sudd
Erika’s POV I just woke up from the coma and my responses were slow. I wanted to let him know how I regretted it, but I didn’t know how to put it in words. So I looked at him blankly. I noticed the dark circles under his eyes and the stubble on his chin. They all reminded me what a huge mistake I made. I’m sorry. I mind-linked him and lowered my eyes. “Save that! We both know that you won’t stop escaping,” he growled. He suddenly raised his voice and gave me
Erika’s POV“I’m so excited! I thought that I would never see you again. But you’re still our Luna! Oh, my Goddess, I’m so happy. You know, I jumped up when I heard about the news you woke up and I rushed here with Carl and Sylvia at my fastest speed. Erika, you’ve been unconscious for three days. You don’t know what happened these days! Alpha Derek always pulls a long face and he’s so scary. Emma led a bunch of girls outside the pack house…” Angel gabbled excitedly after she stuffed a bunch of flowers in my hands.However, Carl cleared his throat and stopped Angel. Sylvia put down the things she got for
Erika’s POV“You are still a patient. You need rest, not fighting,” Derek refused this idea flatly.But that’s the best option. We can just kill Emma without betraying the fact that I escaped. It was not that I wanted to conceal it. I would accept any punishment. But if you want to keep it a secret… I mind-linked him, trying to persuade him.“Do you even know how many injuries you have over your body?” he asked as he pressed his hand on the bandage.I grimace
Erika’s POVNo! Let me go! I can’t have sex now. My time is limited. I mind-linked him while punching him on his back. But my efforts were in vain. I was no match for him when I was at my best, let alone at my worst.“Now that you don’t take my words seriously, I’ll prove it to you,” he said as he threw me to the bed and began to tear off my clothesI tried to get away from him and stop him. But every time I pulled my body away from him, he immediately pulled me back closer.
Derek’s POVWhile Erika fell into a deep sleep after being marked, I lost balance and fell to bed with a frown. It hurt so much but I didn’t regret it. I was very angry at her for her betrayal. As an Alpha, I could tolerate mistakes. But I couldn’t tolerate being cheated by the woman I cherished the most. I had thought of a lot of ways to punish her after she woke up. Should I punish her with electricity and forbid her from using her gift for a long time? Or should I lock her up in prison since all she wanted to do was escape? But after I saw her cuddle up in the shabby room with her body full of injuries, I had to admit I was softened. I just hoped that she could recover as soon as possible. The sex also relieved my anger. At
Erika’s POVI looked up and spotted Emma at first sight. Her face darkened the instant she saw me.Yes, I came here deliberately late. Emma just saw the hope of surviving today and I dashed her hope immediately.I walked towards her slowly with my chin high.As I walked closer, she gritted her teeth and her hands were shaking. She must also know that her life would end today.She had betrayed the pack and she stil
