The moment that the men picked me from the floor, it felt like the action triggered the fight in me. I kicked and screamed and scratched and did just about anything to be set free, but it was all wasted efforts.
They were far too big for me to cause any sort of damage on them and I was sure that they could knock me unconscious if they chose to do so.I couldn’t believe that for the better part of the day I had found the Alpha attractive. Whatever it was that had caused that small thought in my mind was completely dead now and all I wanted to do was kill the man himself.He was going to lock me up because I refused to be his sex slave? What kind of person was he? I didn’t think the Alpha would turn out to be this sort of person, he had seemed pretty decent on the hill, was that a pretense? But why would he have to pretend for any reason.I got no answer to that question, instead I was shoved roughly into a dark room. My reduced senses couldn’t do much with helping me see better in the room but the stench of dried blood and urine was too strong even for my weakened senses.“Let me out of here. What the hell is wrong with you? Let me go!” I began kicking out and screaming as the men began hooking me up to a string beam.I couldn’t see any of it but soon I was pretty sure that I was suspended in the air with chains properly holding me up. My eyes had been blindfolded cutting off whatever I had been hoping to see in the darkness.“Let’s hope this one’s mouth doesn’t get her killed before the end of the week.” I heard one of the men say and it only made me curse out even louder and harder.My throat was starting to hurt from screaming that much but I didn’t let it deter me. I screamed every profanity I had in my vocabulary and it was a whole lot if I was being fair.I heard the door click shut signaling that the men were out of the room but that didn’t stop me from continue to scream and curse out loudly asking to be let out.I could feel my entire body start to sag from exhaustion. I knew that it had to be pretty late, maybe even far into the night by now but here I was, chained up and hung like a piece of sacrifice.I let out another string of curse words before letting my head fall in defeat. I refused to let the tears out of my eyes even when they stung painfully. He didn’t deserve my tears and he had another thinking coming if he thought that he could break me into submission.Jason, had tried to do it so many times and it only ended with a few scars on my end and him being very, very frustrated so I would love to see the Alpha king and try to break me down.I could barely keep my eyes opened at this point. It could have been the exhaustion from having to work all evening for the feast of it could have been the stress from what the Alpha had put me through but even in my uncomfortable and painful position, I still felt myself drifting to sleep.It was far from peaceful but at least it was a temporary escape from my harsh reality.***My nose tingled with a familiar scent and I released a sneeze the more I took in the scent. My entire body felt broken and even the little sneeze that I released threatened to break me.I tried to open my eyes but it felt as if they had been glued together and my mouth tasted terrible.I felt a presence in the room and it felt like they had their eyes trained on me, I finally forced open my eyes wincing when the action caused my head to bang even more.The room was still bathed in complete darkness, only that this time it felt like I was able to adjust to the darkness quicker.True to my instincts, there was a figure that was stood perched against the wall on the opposite end of the room. Their presence still surprised me even when I had initially felt them but when they only continued to watch me from the same spot, without moving or doing anything else, I felt curiosity begin to take over.“W-who are you?” I asked, wincing my dry throat hurt as I spoke.There was no feedback from the figure, they didn’t even sound like they heard me. They only remained in place and continued to watch me. I was too tired to try to figure out what was happening or who they were and although my eyes could now pick out some things in the darkness, it still wasn’t doing great. I wasn’t enjoying seeing life as blurry mess of black and grey.My arms that were tied together and holding my entire frame up felt terrible and painful, my head hurt like something was been hit against it and the temperature in the room felt like a stable which made it worse. The food that I had eaten earlier was starting to regurgitate and I knew that I needed more sleep.So ignoring the presence at the end of the wall, which could have well been a product of my imagination. I closed my eyes and had even began to drift off when the air around me changed once more.Flipping my eyes open, I released a small scream when the presence was now standing directly in front of me.It was the Alpha.Why was he so damn quiet and acting so creepy? I thought he wanted to have my head, what was stopping him?I was just about to ask some questions or better still start cussing him out again but he beat me to it.“It’ll be best if you listen to him. For your own good.” He said and before I could say anything else, he turned around and walked away from the room, shutting the door before clicking the lock in place.Now, his words had definitely confused me, but what confused me even more had been the way that his eyes had changed colored.It had been so noticeable that even in the dark I had been able to see the switch.What did he mean with his words, in fact, what the hell had just happened?Gwaine’s POV:From the moment Vilkus took an interest in her, I knew that I had to get far away from her else there would be trouble, but she just happened to cause a scene at the feast and awake the beast within me once more. Being Alpha King was such a great role in the eyes of many. Until they realized that it came with a beast that was in as much control as one’s human side was. But it might be worse for me, since my beast actually had the greater control of my mind than my human side did. The only perk, might be the fact that I at least got to be in my human body and interact in human form. Goddess knew how much trouble Vilkus could cause if his form was allowed to roam out more often. I watched as Catherine’s head hung from the side as she slept, unaware of my presence. She was really cute and I loved how fiery she could get, but I wasn’t sure that attitude sat well with my wolf. Vilkus loved his women submissive, fiery, feisty, he just didn’t do well with neither of those t
The sound of footsteps pierced through my slumber and jerked me back to consciousness. Of course I was met with darkness for the umpteenth time and I wanted to scream out in frustration. What was the Alpha’s plan? Keep me locked up in the darkness until I surrendered and begged him for his dick? Because that was never happening so he might as well let me go now so the treatment to his ego could commence before the hurt got any worse. The door was gently pushed open and I frowned when I recognized the Alpha’s scent begin to fill the room. He had such a unique scent that it sometimes burned my nose. I wasn’t sure how long I had been sleeping for because every time I opened my eyes, everything felt, looked and sounded the same and time really did slip past when one couldn’t get a hold on it. “Are you ready to be my mistress Catherine?” The Alpha’s silky voice sounded in the room and although it was as pleasant as the first time I had heard it, it did nothing but thoroughly irritate
The next time I gained consciousness, the space around me felt very different. Although my body still burned as badly as I remembered before I blacked out. I finally realized why it all felt different when I could feel a cold surface beneath me, one that felt like pure bliss against my burning back. There was someone else in the room, but they weren’t hurting me. Instead, it felt like they were helping me. I could feel a cloth pressed on top my head and although the water was too cold, I felt too weak to try to protest. I only shivered in effect. I tried to force my eyes open but the pain in my head stopped me from completely trying to open it. Instead I hissed weakly, trying to warn whoever was messing with me to back up but it wasn’t working as well as I had hoped for because they only continued to do it. “Stupid girl, can’t get her mouth to shut up.” I finally heard someone whisper and I recognized the voice immediately. This was the mean girl from the first time that I had co
Gwaine’s POV: My eyes flipped open and I was met with complete darkness but it wasn’t anything I didn’t expect. I was used to turning off all my lights before going to bed, so the darkness wasn’t anything new or weird, but something felt weird. I squinted in the darkness, my super human vision allowed me to be able to see every detail in the room, in black and grey because of the darkness in the room, but it felt like I was missing something, like I still had to see something that was lurking in the darkness. I perked my ears, hoping to hear something out of the ordinary, something different but everything was really still. Then what had woken me up from the almost peaceful sleep I had been having? I was sure there was something in the darkness that had troubled my sleep, I could even feel the presence somewhere around the room. Sitting up in bed, I squinted when I noticed something else. Everything was too quiet, but not only around my environment, even my mind was way too quie
I couldn’t even explain how much I missed looking at a clock and being able to keep track of time, but being locked up in this room not only took that luxury from me, now time felt more like a concept and less of a reality. I knew that the rude maid girl had come to me at some point, cleaned and changed my clothes, given me some pills and food, I could remember all of that but I wasn’t sure how long ago it had happened. I had slept, woken up, drank some more water, cussed the stupid Alpha out loud before sleeping some more again. The isolation that I had been subjected to in the last couple of days locked up in this dungeon, was starting to slowly drive me crazy. I wasn’t accustomed to not seeing the sunlight at the very least, the walls were starting to close in on me and every time I gained consciousness, I fought to go back to the somewhat blissful sleep where there was no pain or any sort of stimuli at all. But something felt different this time when I woke up. I was used to
I pushed open the door at the end of the hallway and my brain struggled to make the best decision, but Regan was not far from me and so I knew that I couldn’t waste any time. I didn’t go in direction that we had come in from on the first day because I just knew that it would be locked, instead I went through a smaller passage, trying the first door there and gasping in surprise when it opened to reveal a kitchen. There was another door at the end of that kitchen and I headed straight for that one, it was locked but the lock was just below the handle and I only had to turn it once for the door to pull open. The door led to some sort of garden but beyond that I could see the tree line that led into straight into the woods and I moved in that direction as fast as my legs could carry. In that moment, I couldn’t help but thank Nicole in my mind for the food and water that she had given me, my entire body was screaming in pain but my bones had strength in them. For a long moment, I hea
Gwaine’s POV: I flew mindlessly down the stairs in hot pursuit of my escaping prisoner, but then I bumped into the last person I expected to see, especially so late into the night. “Regan, what the hell are you doing here?” I asked frowning in genuine confusion, but when I caught the look on my Beta’s face, realization hit me. “Don’t even tell me. You? You were the one who let her out? Why? How did you even know about her?” I asked all four questions in one breath not bothering to hide my aggression and growing anger.“I didn’t want to. I was just tryi-“ He began, but just hearing him speak was causing both myself and my wolf to go crazy. I could see the blood dripping from his nose and the part looked cracked, it was obvious that my Beta had made a mistake around the girl and he had suffered for it, but that didn’t make up for the fact that he had let my prisoner escape. “You know what? Close your mouth and just fucking save it. I’ll be back for you and pray to the Goddess she d
The light seemed too bright even from my closed lids and I groaned before turning around to bury myself deeper inside the blanket. Wait? Blanket?I flipped open my eyes immediately, hissing when the bright sunlight streaming in from the large windows momentarily blinded me. I sat up on the bed but realized I couldn’t go further because my legs had been chained to the bed. I didn’t bother struggling, for one, I was still too tired to do so, I could feel every bone in my body threatening to come out and my entire muscles felt sore, two, I knew it would be a complete waste of time trying to fight against the chains and I really didn’t have the strength to, three, the events of the previous night, or rather early that morning came back flooding my mind.I leaned against the head of the bed and took a deep breath, closing my eyes as I went back into those woods running. I had never felt so scared in my life and it had truly seemed like everything was about to crash in on me. And when t
