5. A TEMPTING OFFER

Aria’s POV: 

I got discharged from the hospital the same night after cleaning my new and old wounds. I haven't seen Alpha Damien since our argument and my shameful moment, one of his goons took me back to my prison where I was locked in my room.

Other than the Maid no one bothered me, not even the devil. At night my body felt like it was on fire and I always woke up aching and needing him. My pussy was always wet and I refused to do anything about it.

Every second of the day I cursed Damien and the mark he forced upon me for these feelings in me. I shouldn't crave the man who bought me like a pet and who treats me like I am a thing.

It has been two days since the mess and the attack and I am bored out of my mind. 

Unlocking the door got my attention and I waited with my breath stuck in my throat and my heart pounding that it was maybe Damien but to my relief and disappointment, a new maid?

She was not the same maid who came to the room daily, she seemed new as she was not meeting my eyes and her hands were shaking. 

“ Hi! Are you new here?” I asked, needing a conversation with anyone as the old maid didn't answer any of my questions nor she spoke on her own.

“ Y.. yeah, Take this.” She handed me something and left the room in a hurry and I could smell her fear. 

I opened the box she gave to me and my eyes widened when I saw what was in the box. There is a small phone in the box, I opened it and there is only one number saved and it's been set to call that single number.

Is it a test? Is Damien testing me? Is he baiting me? 

I dialed the number and waited for someone to answer. My heart is pounding and my ears are ringing.

“ Hello!” An unfamiliar male voice answered, I didn't say anything waiting for Damien’s voice to threaten me on the phone and tell me that he was going to punish me or kill me.

“ I know, you are scared but don't be scared, I will help you escape from Damien Voss.” The man assured, his tone seemed genuine but I still had my doubts.

“ I am Luca Moretti, Damien Voss and I are rivals and I want to see him fall from his throne.” The anger and hate in his voice shocked me and I believe him now because his hate for Damien is clear with his tone.

“ How did you find me?” I asked, he just chuckled in response.

“ I have my ways and my people everywhere.” He said, and I don't care how he got to know about me but finally I got a chance to leave this hell hole and live my life on my terms. I can find a mate too.

My wolf growled, angry at the thought but I just shrugged her anger away because ever since Damien marked us, she was being a bitch and putting all types of images in my head including Damien in them.

“ What do you want me to do?” I asked, If he wants me to kill Alpha Damien then I don't know if I could do it. I hate him but I won't able to kill him. 

My wolf and my heart are in his favour and they both are screaming at me to not harm him.

“ I want you as my informer, I want you to open your eyes and ears, so you can tell me when Damien's shipments are coming and going.” He said, it's easy but my heart clenched painfully at the thought of betraying him.

It's about my freedom and my life but the notion of betraying Damien feels so wrong, but I have to do it, I have to betray him otherwise he will kill me and toss me away when he gets bored of me and I don't want my life to be like that. 

No one can have the control to break me and hurt me. 

“ Okay, deal. I will inform you about his shipments and you will be taking me out from here as soon as I send you the information.” He ended the call promising me that he will surely take me out once he gets the information he needed. 

I hope he won't betray me because if he does then I will escape from here on my own and kill him with my own hands.

I stood where I was talking to Luca, my back to the door and I didn't hear him enter, but, when his front touched my back, I got startled and his scent surrounded me.

I got so scared that I forgot to cover the phone in my hand and Damien snatched it away from my hand before I could throw it away. 

“ Who the fuck gave you this!” He demanded in his cool monotone. My eyes were wide and I was gaping at him like a fish out of water, not knowing what to say.

“ You have three seconds to explain before I decide to kill you or not.” I threatened, my body is shaking with fear and my stomach is churning with nerves. My brain was not working, it's stuck on the fact that he was going to kill me and I am not ready to die.

“ I..I don't know, I found it in the drawer.” I pointed it behind where there is a night stand. I am so bad at lying and with the way he growled in anger I know that he didn't believe me and today is going to be my last day on earth. I am going to die a virgin and in the hands of this devil.

“ I told you to not lie to me.” He yanked my head back by my hair, snarling in my face. He was shaking with uncontrollable anger, I stood still not pleading nor defending myself. If i am going to die today then i am not going to beg this fucker.

He hates my defiance and he will get my defiance even if it is my last day. 

“ You will be punished for this, little Bird.” He pulled me by my hair towards the bed, he sat on it and bent me half on his thigh, without any warning he ripped my flimsy shorts and spanked my butt cheek so hard that a scream ripped through my lips ,and oddly and infuriatingly my back arched on its own and  my core is pulsing with need. 

My face heats up with shame and embarrassment at my body’s reaction. I really want to die right now, dying is better than getting aroused by my captor.
