LOGINChapter 148Amber Whyte. I knew I had spent three days in Delilah's captivity when I saw them change their outfits three times. I knew this method was not accurate, but at least it was the only way I could count the days I had spent in this hellhole. I muffled a loud cry and winced in pain as my tears mixed with the blood on my torn lips. It felt like a thousand needles stabbed my open wound at once, but that pain couldn't be compared to the abandonment I felt. It's been roughly 72 hours in this god-forsaken place. 72 hours of waiting. Hoping. Praying. Fighting to stay alive. Pretending to stay strong when I knew Delilah had broken what was left in me just as she promised. 72 hours of enduring the brutality of being bound in ropes coated with wolfsbane. 72 hours of almost dying, but never dying because Delilah would empty a bucket of freezing water on me to revive me.72 hours of attempting to escape and failing woefully after every attempt. Still, there was no sign of help.
Chapter 147Kieran's pov.“To where? We just arrived from a meeting, we haven't even entered our room or showered and changed our clothes yet…” I paused, processing her words as a pang of fear gnawed at my chest. My palm flew in the air helplessly. “She was at home when we left. She was supposed to be with you. What are you talking about?” I couldn't control my nervousness now. My head started to ache mildly and Osiris’ growls and impatience weren't helping either. Penelope swallowed nervously as her fingers slipped into her hair. Her lips parted to speak, but confusion got the best of her, turning her words gibberish. From her terrified eyes, I could read her thoughts. It scared me more than anything else. But I didn't want to act on it yet, I didn't want to give in to assumptions. “You don't…understand…” She stammered, scratching the back of her head. “We were together all morning, all afternoon…” Her voice shook with panic. “We were about to binge-watch some series when
Chapter 146Kieran's pov. The day dragged endlessly, starting with the elders’ impromptu summons that ruined my morning before it even got started. I could have spent it tossing and turning on the bed, cuddling the love of my life before her best friend came to whisk her away, or hanging out with my brothers, but the elders thought it was a good time to fix their meaningless meeting. Speaking of meaningless meetings, this one stood at the top of the chart. I should have sensed it from the moment the venue changed. Instead of the usual spot that was not too far from the Pack house, they settled on an even farther location, and when we asked, their responses were not tangible. Right from the moment we got there, they kept beating about the bush, dwelling on irrelevant problems that have been solved rather than hitting the nail on the head. Immediately I recognized the pattern, and I quickly mind-linked my brothers to be alarmed as they were acting suspiciously. They hadn't done a
Chapter 145Amber Whyte.“You are so heavy from fucking my mate.” She stopped, eyeing my belly with contempt as she walked towards me. Alarmed, I shifted uncomfortably on the chair as my heartbeat accelerated. I wanted to rip this rope from my body and protect my stomach from her. If only it were possible. But still, I maintained calmness. I didn't want her to know what she was doing to me. “Technically, they are my mates, and that's in the past now.” “Hmm.” She stopped, watching me as a small smile tugged at the side of her lips. “Still got the sharp tongue, huh?” I gulped, looking away from her. “Remember when you woke up in the car?” She suddenly asked, making my heart jump in anxiety. “Well, that was me injecting you with poison and wolfsbane. Jax suggested the poison though, but I wasn't satisfied until I mixed it with wolfsbane so that it would double the potency. You know… two-factor authentication just to be safe. There is no slacking this time.”My eyes bulged. I fel
Chapter 144Amber Whyte.“No!” I tried to scream as I struggled to fight my way out of the thick ropes, but the harder I fought, the deeper it clung to my skin, burrowing into my flesh. Pain descended throughout my body, but this pain wasn't as a result of my flesh burning right before my eyes. It was at the realization that I had been kidnapped and no one knew where I was. Not Penelope. Not the Alphas. Before anyone would suspect anything, I would have been dead and the Isla girl might not have been seen as a suspect. For the first time, I regretted not marking the triplets right after they marked me in their parents’ room.If only I had listened to them, but my stubbornness brought nothing but complications, and ultimately led to my destruction. Now I won't be able to mindlink them. They will never find me. Oh, God. I burst into tears almost immediately, ignoring the pain that nearly blinded my eyes. Fear consumed me whole as my eyes scanned the space again. I was alone.
Chapter 143Amber Whyte.A piercing, high-pitched ringing tore through my skull, ripping me out of unconsciousness.I winced in pain, squeezing my eyes as a throbbing ache spread rapidly behind my eyes, straight to the left side of my head, causing it to pound violently. My temple pulsed painfully. A muffled cry escaped through my clenched teeth as the ache doubled, hammering against my left eye. My jaws clenched tightly as my head tilted sideways. The more I tried to manage the ache, the more it felt like my head was about to be split into two. Sweat trickled down my cheeks as my face became unbearably hot. I thought my left eye was about to explode. Before I could take my next breath, a burning sensation sliced through my chest. From my chest to my torso felt like it was roasted alive by invisible fire over and over again. I could smell the hair on my skin melt as my flesh sizzled. I let out a shrill cry, struggling to yank whatever it is that was burning me alive, but my st
Chapter 78Amber Whyte.My body stiffened, struck by dread.As she took those perilous steps, suffocating us with her vicious black currant scent that came off in waves, everything in me seized. My breath. My throat. Even my stomach dropped. A dull pain shot through my chest as if indicating that
Chapter 83Amber Whyte.I swear I died. Right there. On the bench. Beside the she-devil herself. It felt like I was melting rapidly. By fear. By terror. By her ominous presence. I wanted to run. To hide. To be thousands of miles away from Delilah. But I was trapped. The sauna was a trap…crea
