Layla POV I was dragged to Rafe’s room while the Beta told me everything that was going to happen. I was screaming in fear and trying to release myself from his grip. He slammed open the door to Rafe’s room. Rafe turned, standing there in sweatpants and nothing else. “Do not do this,” I pleaded with Rafe. He looked at me with little sympathy. “You knew this time would come. You pushed me too far today, and I realized you needed to be taught a lesson,” he murmured as he stepped closer to me. He reached out to touch my face, as I flinched away from him. He caught my chin, “Never turn away from me,” he bit out. Releasing my chin, I watched as he circled me, as if sizing me up. The Beta had not released me yet, still holding on tightly. “She is a beautiful mate, isn’t she Beta?” Rafe commented. The Beta leered at me, “She certainly is,” he agreed. “Remove your clothes,”
Layla POV He left me broken on the floor in the dining hall. Everyone had watched him whip my back, but nobody had tried to stop him. I lay there, tears rolling down my cheeks. “How did I end up here?” I whispered. I tried to sit up, but my back was screaming at me to stay still. The woman who was training me, moved slowly towards me. “Are you okay?” she asked quietly. I closed my eyes, “Are you going to pretend you care?” I questioned bitterly. “I did not believe he would do that,” she whispered. “Believe it,” I responded coldly as I opened my eyes. I looked at her and was surprised to see concern on her face. “Let me help you up,” she offered, as she moved towards me cautiously. She reached out to take my arm. I gasped in pain, as she tugged me forward. I rose to my knees, and paused to breathe through the pain, “I am sorry,” she murmured as she pulled me forward t
Layla POV I woke to cold water being poured over my body. I jumped up, coughing and wiping the water from my face. I had been in this hell for over a week. I had not been able to speak with my parents. My mate intercepted their calls. I wondered if they were concerned and if they were going to demand to see me. He had taken my cell phone when we had arrived at his pack the morning we arrived. “That is my property!” I screamed as I thought back to the moment. He roared, punching me in the face, and then in my stomach, taking the wind from my body. I fell to the ground, but he had grabbed a fistful of my hair, dragging me up the stairs towards his pack house. The pack house was small, and dark. The grounds were not kept. “I am talking to you slave!” the woman yelled before me, as she slapped my wet face bringing me back to the present. I quickly refocused and paid attention. She had been “train
Layla POVBefore I knew it, I was grabbing my throbbing cheek and looking at my mate with tears in my eyes in complete shock. I tried to mind-link my father to help me, but I was blocked, immediate pain shooting through my head advising me that something was curbing my ability to communicate with my family. “Do not even bother to try,” the man, my mate, sitting beside me said. He straightened his cuffs, as if he was inconvenienced by hitting me. I continued to stare at him as he glanced my way. “Cut the crap, princess. You can get used to that type of treatment if you do not quickly learn your place,” Rafe stated. “I am a princess. I come from a royal line. I am a strong she-wolf,” I stated coldly. I had shifted before we left, and I was a white wolf. A white wolf who had many talents to develop, as my wolf, Sunny, had promised me. The man simply chuckled as did the driver, who was driving us towards this man’s pack.
Layla POV I tried to contain my disappointment from what felt like a rejection. I started to step away when Rafe quickly pulled me back into his arms. “I am sorry, that came out wrong. I had a message from my Beta that I am needed back at the East Forest Pack immediately. There have been rogue attacks lately and it appears the rogues took advantage of my being away to strike again,” Rafe shared. “We have spare guards we can send back with you,” my father suggested. I was pleased that my father had offered this. He was demonstrating that he would be looking at the East Forest Pack to become an ally of the Kingdom. I knew, based on their location, that they were not currently a part of our allies. “That is not necessary, Prince Eric, but I truly appreciate the offer. We have some allies locally who have been supporting our efforts in thwarting the rogues. We work tightly as a community and will be
Layla POV I moved forward cautiously. I felt the attraction of a fated mate, but something was missing. I closed my eyes, as his hands held my face. He gently touched my lips, capturing them in a light kiss. This was my first kiss, and it was not what I had expected. Agreeably, feeling the faint sparks between us added to the experience. He paused as I opened my eyes, before capturing my lips in another kiss. This kiss allowed him to explore my mouth. His tongue slid through my lips, tasting me as his nibbled at my tongue. His minty breath was becoming intoxicating, and I was immediately lost in the moment. Everyone around us disappeared until it was only the two of us. “Get a room,” my twin teased me through our mind-link. Red faced, I stepped back and my mate chuckled. He took hold of my hand while we turned towards my parents. “Prince Eric, Princess Julia,” my mate said as he bowed slightly
