Rising, Joanna realized she was still in the same position she was in before the dizziness took over. She didn't need to be told that was happening to her was no ordinary thing."Mother this isn't normal....," Joanna whispered to her mother while the latter nodded her head in understanding. " I know sweetheart and I believe the only person with such immense power, able to do this to you is none other than Celine, she who you've been in contact with" Stella explained to Joanna who now had an incredulous look on her face."Waaaa....," Alan's loud cry of pain was enough to snap Joanna out of her thoughts. Balling her fists by her side, she slowly removed herself away from. the group, moving slowly towards the witches."What did you do to me and my son?" She hissed, glaring straight at Celine. "Hm, you know what annoys me the most about you? You act like the superior one, walking like everyone is below you. I hate you," Celine seemed to have lost control as she raised a knife in the air,
Joanna's POV;I had only decided to take a rest in the forest under the trees when I heard them once again, my pursuers. My feet were soiled with the soil, battered and stained with my blood. It's been two months but this race was never ending. Sighing repeatedly, I stared up at the sky which was starting to turn dark. Time? I no longer had a connection with time as everyday was a race that had no ending. The streams of tears that had stained and dried on my cheeks weren't to be recounted. My body ached,my feet ached, my bones were weak and even my wolf had closed herself away from me. I had missed the voices of humans as it had been two treacherous months been alone in a forest, running away from my pursuers while protecting the tiny bump in my stomach. I closed my eyes, hoping to get few minutes of sleep but the slight creak among the forest sounds jolted me awake.Without further ado, I picked up my duffel bag and began running as fast as my leg could carry me. The pounding behi
Joanna's POV;"Ann, be strong! Be strong! No matter what it takes,be strong!" I heard someone yell."Who are you? Where are you?" I asked back. I had no idea where I was. It was void of any living thing, it seemed like I was drowned Into a dark abyss but as I stared straight ahead, there was a bright light shining. The voice seemed to be coming from there but the more I moved closer to the light, the farther it seemed."You don't need to know who I am. Be strong! It is never the end." I heard again. I couldn't tell if the voice belonged to a man or a woman but I was more concerned about what he/she meant.I felt a sharp pain on my neck making me gasp as my eyes flew open. "Wonderful!" That was the first word that came out of my mouth as I took in my surroundings. Firstly, if anyone ever told you that you'd wake up in a place where you are a stranger in after losing conciousness, you were lied to! A total lie! Here I was, once again, staring at the familiar cell I was put in the day
Joanna's POV;Despite all he did to me, I couldn't help getting attracted to him! I curse the mate bond! His features were forever in my head. His black hair, black orbs, thick eyebrows, pointy nose and his sharp jawline with his well sculpted face remained etched unto my brain. I sighed for the nth time as I watched him walk out of the cell after leaving me with a threat. He didn't have to because I was planning not to leave this cell again. Two months of running barefooted had done enough to me. I lied back on the rock hard bed and closed my eyes as I rubbed my small bump. I was thankful it hadn't began to show as it would only cause more problems for me. I couldn't bear the thought of my baby getting killed. Even if he/she would also be the daughter/son of the man that used me, I don't care as far as he/she was also my blood and flesh.I internally calculated how long Sebastian would be gone for. Judging by how happy he looked, I knew it'd take long before he arrived. Twenty
Joanna's POV;I had been living with Sebastian and had also learned to accept the intimacy he was having with me at night. Though, it hurt to see him being with another woman during the day but there was nothing I could do. I was just another powerless and helpless Breeder who had no one by her side. I cursed my step father for making me go through this! He had gambled with my life and future, making my hatred for him deepen further. I was in the backyard of Sebastian's exclusive house, doing menial jobs when I heard the familiar taunts behind me. "Well..well...well, if it isn't the slut!" Mitchell, Sebastian's cousin who always found joy in hurting me spoke up first. I believed I had grown immune to her insults but it would be a lie if I said her words still weren't hurting me."What do you want, Mitchelle?" I sighed, uprooting the stems of weeds. It wasn't that the pack didn't have a gardener but this was also part of my punishment."She's so weird! Looking like a slut with her in
Joanna's POV:Waking up to sound of keys jingling and rattling together was something I found very unpleasant for the first time in years. My ears and head throbbed painfully and I felt like they were about to bleed. No one ever told me that pregnancy was this hard."SSS."The sound of someone hissing was enough to make my eyes fly open as I stared vigilantly in the dark dungeon. Thankfully, I was able to see clearly in the dark this time. Standing before me was the young man I wasn't expecting for once. "What're you doing here?" My voice was meant to come out as a whisper but sounded like I had been dipped in shit and was dehydrated for years."Shhhh," The guard, whom had been watching after me in my former cell held his finger to his lips as he stretched out his hand to me. Hesitantly, I stared at him and for once in my life, I decided to take this dangerous step.I placed my hand in his and I felt his grip tighten as he pulled me to stand."I want you to be as quiet as possible.
Joanna's POV:Remember when I said waking up to the rattling and jingling of keys was something I found unpleasant, well, I think I preferred it to being poked by sticks and fingers.I had never felt so much pain in my entire life than I currently did. It felt like I had been run over by a large truck.....My thoughts suddenly trailed off when I remembered the last thing that happened to me.Was I back in the Red moon pack? Where was I?"Do you think she's awake?" I heard an unfamiliar make voice and for a moment I wondered if I was in heaven. Had my soul flown out if me? Definitely not because I could feel the pains in my body, telling me that this wasn't a dream."Shut it, Rob! This fine specimen has been unconscious for hours after getting rammed into by our car. It's a miracle she's still alive,"Another male grumbled out and I had the urge to open my mouth and laugh out loud. I suddenly registered his words, 'fine specimen'. Was he talking about me? There was no way it wasn't me
Sebastian's POV:My mate, she was my mate! This was the only thought I had ever since I surveyed the area within the border after the white haired lady I believed was supposed to be my sex slave left. The drop of her blood on the floor within the area was enough to give me this understanding. I was confused, tired and frustrated which I had never felt in my entire life. I had been brought up by my father to be able to earn the name I was called. I had always been thinking of different scenarios where I'd get to meet my mate but I didn't expect her to be gone just as fast as she came and I had no idea about it. If Joanna was my mate, then, who was Chloe, the woman who had claimed to be my mate? At that moment, I knew I had been fooled by her because I had been too blind to overlook the lack of sparks anytime our body touched. With Joanna, the only thing I felt was a tingling sensation which did things to me but I had never felt the sparks. Despite this, I was sure she was my ma
