"So harmless and weak. You would really love me to believe that lie won't you?". He snickered, the sound of his laughter just as dark like the color of his eyes.
"Please, I don't know what grudge you have against my bloodline but I have nothing to do with it" She began to explain, totally out of breath.
"Do save your breath because nothing you say or do is going to make me change my mind. I'm going to enjoy tearing you piece by piece, limp by limp until nothing is left then I will leave them for your daddy dearest to find" He paused for a moment, his dark eyes trailing up and down her frail figure as though sizing her up.
"I just have to figure out a more painful way to get it done. You don't deserve an easy death. None of your filthy bloodline does" He growled at her as his grip dropped from her face, her whole body immediately falling into an unstoppable tremble, as she realized just how doomed she really was yet it didn't stop her from begging for her life still.
"Please, don't hurt me" She begged as he grab hold of her hands once again and began to bind them with shackles. Once he was done, he moved to the table where all the torture tools were displayed on and began to shuffle through it, one after the other.
"Please, I'm begging you Asher" she cried even louder but her plea seem to be falling on deaf ears as he continued to search for the perfect tool to use on her.
Beth couldn't stop trembling with utter horror when his hand finally stopped and grab a small dagger before picking it up. He moved the edge over her neck painfully slow before pressing it to her throat promisingly.
"Do you know the most fragile vein is located around here? It's directly connected to the artery in charge of pumping most of the blood that's being circulated through out the body. One puncture and you will bleed to death" He told her teasingly as he continued to work the knife further before moving it away to stare back at her reaction and it was overly satisfying as the corner of his lip pulled up in a little smile before his expression turned dark yet again.
"You would really like that won't you? For me to give you an easy death and save you the misery and torture but your death won't give me the kind of pleasure a quick death would give you. There are far too many ways this can work. I mean, I could take your body as mine to fuck until the life is totally drain out of you before I cut you into that tiny little piece I promised you earlier and have it deliver to your father" He moved closer and twirl a finger through her hair before pulling at it roughly.
Betty yelp in pain but was immediately silenced with the stink of his blade against her neck. "Shhh, save your breath. No one is going to help you, absolutely no one, Elizabeth" He reminded her with a low chuckle that sounded more like a demonic growl in her ears before he moved behind her, slowly yet menacingly.
Unable to see what he was up to behind her, Beth began to shiver,fresh tears trickling more from her swollen eyes not to mention the throbbing pain in her head from how much tears she have cried already.
"I haven't done anything. You can't do this to me. You can't just abduct someone and hide away in your little community and then plan to do away with them. That's a crime and totally against the law and you know it" She called at him,hoping it sink through that thick skull of his.
Beth almost choked on her tears the moment she felt him so damn close to her that her body almost crawl at the proximity of his body against hers.
"Where was your damn law when your father hunted and emptied all his bullet into my wife's in the woods. Where was your fucking law huh?, maybe you haven't noticed since you are so delusional. I'm the fucking law around here and yes I can and I will do whatever I dim appropriate with you, Elizabeth" He assured her and more tears flood her eyes, her bottom lips trembling even more with chills running down her spine.
Her father hunted and killed someone and now she is about to pay for his crimes. It's even worst than she thought. Gosh, he really killed a woman.
"But I haven't done anything Asher. You even said it yourself. It was my father not me. Please don't do this me I beg you" She begged even more desperately but the look in his eyes told her, she was definitely wasting her breath.
"It's true you haven't done anything and your innocence is what's going to make it even more fun. You are absolutely perfect being blameless"
In her trouble mind, Betty wished to be suddenly blessed with some super powers so she could teleport herself somewhere else, seeing how psychopathic and demonic Asher really is. There is just no getting him to stop. He was already hell bent on using her as his scapegoat regardless if was guilty or not.
To him, her father's crime was just as much as hers and that's just twisted.
She cried and yelled on top her lungs when she felt his claws brush through the fabric of her clothe at the back before it was ripped from her skin, top to bottom, revealing her bare back to him.
Only a moment of hesitation made her feel as though her bra would be spared from the same fate as her clothe but she thought too quick and wrong too as they were ripped off as well.
"Please, don't, please, I can't" She half begged and began to turn from side to side as though she could avoid whatever fate awaits her from behind. And for a moment, no sound or sudden movement was heard causing her to pause as well. Maybe he suddenly developed a heart and heeded to her plea? Or was he just taking his precious little time.
Beth wasn't exactly sure but nonetheless, she was still dreading the awful silence and then just like that, when she least expected, she felt the swift stink of a whip flying through the air before meeting the bare flesh of her skin over and at the same time drawing blood from it.
Betty gave out a soul chattering scream into the air. The sound of her voice fading and vibrating into the night but that didn't stop him still. In fact, her cry only seem to fuel him even more as he stood spouting a sick little smile while she squirmed to be free of his torture.
Her knees buckle beneath her, totally unable to carry her weight any further as she was left dangling between the floor and middle air.
Her vision blurred as she continued to gasp for air. She could feel her heart trying to burst out of her chest due to how much pain she was feeling but she couldn't let it. Her eyes grew heavy as darkness start to lure her into its arms. Before she could give in to the coldness, she heard his voice breathing down her ears.
"This isn't over yet, Elizabeth".
It has been a month since the shooting incident with Bradley Lincoln. How everyone survived that day was a miracle. A miracle that got Asher’s men arriving on time and saving them both before they were ridden with silver bullet from his gun.For a moment, Elizabeth thought they were really going to die as she saw her life flashed before her very eyes but after all the shot were fired out and she was still safely wrapped in Asher's embrace, she knew she was still breathing and alive so she cried.She cried so hard, firstly because the man she thought was her father even though he had showed her too many times that he wasn’t had killed her mother and was going to kill her too. Nothing could be more messed up than that.As she stood beside his unconscious body that night and coughing out blood, she saw no remorse in the eyes of the dying man still. Even his last words still echo in her head."I will never forgive…" he couldn't complete his statement as he died on the spot and choking on
Beth opened her eyes slowly and groaned. A sudden migraine starting to hit her. She tried to make use of her hands but she was unable to move them. She opened her eyes fully and noticed she was now in a much darker room.She tried to wriggled her hands again but it seemed something was holding it back, prompting her to glance back at the new set of chains holding her to two pillars.“Damn that monster” She snarled under her breath in utter realization. It was none other than Bradley’s doing.She was about to yell for him when she noticed she was not the only one in the room as she could hear pain whimper coming from the corner."Is anyone here?" Beth asked but as usual, her echo replied to her instead but it didn’t stop her as she was certain she wasn’t alone.From the cracked walls, she could see another being had also been chained beside her and from all indication, it was a male being.His head was hanging low and she was unable to get a glimpse of his face but something tells he
“What did he ever did to you? Just what! You fucking killed his pregnant mate and you stand here to talk about the pain he ever caused you? Are you ducks insane?” Elizabeth couldn’t help but yelled at him." You're the real monster and I hate to think that at some point in my life I ever called you father!" Beth yelled angrily and Bradley let out a chuckle.“You are no daughter of mine, Elizabeth. And what I did to that monster was nothing compared to what his uncle did to me” Her eyes narrowed at his out burst.*What are you talking about?”The older man took a few steps closer, his eyes now fixed at the one seated before him but he made no attempt to touch her, instead he came to a pause before her, his head slightly tilted to the side to stare at the fading scar around her neck.“You got marked already?”She gave a shrug, “Asher is my mate so yes, we were going to make it official before you showed up and ruin it all so I’m warning you to take me back before its too late”"You’re
Elizabeth's eyelids parted ways rather slowly before she let out a yawn and tried to turn or stretch but she noticed she found difficulty in doing that. Her hands and feet were bind together in an uncomfortable way, restricting her from doing so.With her eyes darting around in panic, she noticed she was no longer in the ceremonial room but someplace strange and unfamiliar. The room itself small and completely dim. Only a ray of light was filtering in through the glass window."Where the hell am I? Where is Asher and every other person?" Beth asked herself as she tried pulling herself into a sitting position on the wooden bed she was placed on."What happened to me?" Beth asked confusingly and just then, memories from the previous night start to floor back into her mind and she let out a gasp.The last thing she could remember was kicking Asher out of her room before the ceremony only to be confronted by his presence again, at least that was what she thought when she heard shuffling
“He took her. He fucking took her from me”"What is the problem? Did anything happen to Beth?" Alex asked as he watched Asher squeezed the piece of paper between his palm."Oh my God! I knew it. I knew something terrible has happened" Izzy let out in panic as she continued to gasp with tears in her eyes. Alex quickly gathered her into his arms before she could crumble to the floor.“Asher will get her back so put yourself together, Izzy. We will get her back” Alex assured her and she nodded even though she was still far from putting herself together."where were you when Beth was taken away? I thought I asked you to stay by her side at all times?" "I’m sorry Alpha but I didn’t mean to leave her even for a second but she wanted me to make sure the baby was fine and I just left” Izzy said as her tears began trickling down her cheeks."Where is my Son?" Asher suddenly asked as he turned to face them, his dark eyes even darker as he stared at both his Beta and Izzy."What?” She croaked o
Asher moved closer but Beth stepped backwards then paused, her lips twisting slightly."What's the matter? Is everything okay with you?" Asher asked softly, studying Beth closely as he continued to advance towards her."Don't tell me you broke in through the window?" "Yes I did, I missed you badly and decided to come and check on you." Asher said and Beth released a breath she never knew she had been holding in."You're so unbelievable Asher, I got scared and thought it was some intruder." Beth said.Asher filled up the space between them and pulled her into his arms with a sigh escaping his own mouth."Even if it was the intruder, I will come to your rescue.?" Asher said with a chuckle before pulling away slightly to stare at Beth's cute face."I am okay, just missing you and Sam. Have you seen him?" "Yeah, Izzy is really taking good care of him." "I am relieved seeing you. I can't still come to believe that we are finally getting married." Beth said smiling widely and Asher kiss
"Just give me the chance to see her and ask for forgiveness, I have really wronged her and I would be at ease if she forgives me." "Okay, you can see her. Alex will go with you," he said with a nod and Alex obeyed immediately. "She must have decided to change as Beth guessed." Asher thought as he watched them leave his sight. Alex had a grime look in his eyes as he took her to Beth's room and left so they could have space to talk freely. Kara knocked softly on the door,"Who is it?" "It's me Kara" She replied hesitantly and there was total silence after that before she heard footsteps heading towards the door and she took a step back and waited.Beth opened the door slowly and was surprised to see Kara with a few of her bags. "Can I come in?" Kara asked politely and Beth couldn't help but narrowed her eyes further at her .At the back of her mind, she wondered why Kara of all people is being polite to her? "Sure… sure you can," Beth stuttered and Kara walked in."I know you're
°°later that Night °°Beth lay in between Asher’s arm, her face buried into his side as he wrapped a protective arm around her small frame, holding her to his large body."So what happened next?" Beth asked, enjoying the story Asher was telling her about his late wife, Macy.Asher let out a sigh, not sure if he wanted to continue telling her about his late wife but somehow talking about everything that had happened had somehow gotten them close."Macy didn’t deserve to die the way she did. She was the sweetest and most selfless I have never met and your father took that from me." Asher said and Beth sighed before peering into his face."Why haven't you gotten him all these while? Is he really that invisible?" Beth asked curiously."Your father is a wise and cunning man, he can't keep running away from me forever. I will surely get to his hideout one day." Asher said and exhaled."Let's stop talking about him, I get sick hearing about matters related to him. Let us talk about us and ou
“You can do anything you put your mind into, Elizabeth. Just remember everything I have told you and you are a step to winning” Asher said and offered her his hand and she took hold of it. Without much as a warning, she pulled him back down and Asher landed on the floor beside her.Asher let out a chuckle at the unexpected reaction.“I guess you were paying attention”“You bet I was. Now let spar once more” Beth suggested, getting back on her feet and Asher did same while she quickly got into position.°° Day of the fight °°The arena of the fight was already crowded when she walked in with Izzy by her side, her eyes met with Asher's and the latter nodded positively. "I didn’t think you would come but since you are already here, I have an offer for you so it's better to grab this opportunity now before it's too late. Withdraw from the fight right now and I will give you a chance to become Asher's mistress." Kara whispered behind Beth and the latter smiled.“How about you take that sa
