She couldn't tell exactly where they were headed as she was later blindfolded the moment they made it to the main express. Because of the pain, Beth kept dozing in and out of unconsciousness until the car finally came to a stop and she was thrown out of the vehicle. she landed solidly on the ground like a bag of Irish potato.
She was immediately yanked off the ground before she could even think to catch her breath and made to walk forward. She winced as her feet scrape painfully against the ground. She was barefooted and each time she stumbled on something, she got a backlash for it as there was no single moment of relief for her.
Beth was forced to do whatever it took to spare her ears from the constant snarling and growling from every angle as she struggled to keep up.
The further they went, the more frightful she became. "Where are you taking me" she whimpered, more panic starting to rise in her chest.
When she couldn't take it anymore or see anything past the stupid blindfold, she began to struggle from getting to wherever they were taking her as she dropped to her butt on the floor.
"Get the fuck up right now before I break every single bone in your body" She heard the same voice from the car earlier growled at her threateningly but she made no attempt to do as ordered. In fact, Beth has suddenly resigned herself to whatever fate he has decided to do to her, as long as it would save her from getting thrown into some dark dungeon crawling with creepy things.
When she only whimpered but made no attempt to get back up, She felt him close up to her face before she was picked off the ground and placed roughly against a shoulder while she screamed and kicked as much as she wanted but he didn't budge.
Beth cried out in pain as she was dropped even more roughly onto the ground after they arrived at their destination. She immediately made to remove her blindfold but her hands were quickly tied to the back, restricting her movement completely. That didn't stop her either, as she struggled on her butt trying to discern where she was.
"Please, don't hurt me" She cried but got no reply before she heard his foot steps retreating out the door and slamming it shut.
There was a moment of silence, with only her heart thumping in her chest repeatedly in fright.
"Look at her, fucking filth" She heard a female voice spit at her from the window, startling her as she began to back away until her back met with a solid wall and then stopped.
"She will soon get what filth like her deserve" Another voice snickered and her panic skyrocketed over the moon a she scooted even further against the wall as though it would somehow open up and swallow her whole but it didn't, leaving her to face her demons once more as she waited for those voice to attack her but no one came forward, not even the sound of a shuffling feet was heard again.
**
With her sight taken from her and hands tied to the back, Beth was left completely helpless and trapped within the dark walls as she continued to breathe heavily, her wrist and shoulders starting to ache from trying to get out of her binding.
She stayed perched in the corner trying to recall everything that had happen and wondering how everything went from looking forward to securing a job to ending up getting abducted.
If she remember correctly, Asher made reference to her name and something about her being a Lincoln. It hurt her to think she is in that mess because she was still bearing the name of a man that wanted nothing to do with her right from when she was just eight years old.
Gosh, she should have gotten rid of that cursed name when she wanted to but somehow she couldn't bring herself to do it and now she really wish she had.
Beth gasped in fright when she heard foot steps approaching her cell once more before she could make even a slight movement, she was pinned roughly against the wall.
"Damn Lincoln girl, you smell surprisingly good" A different voice exclaimed with amusement as his hand made it under her skirt and then up and down her thigh with heavy breath.
Her heart start to race a mile as a little unwanted gasp escaped her mouth when his thumb brush purposely across her pussy.
Beth squirm to get his hand out of her skirt but he held her down with a grip to her throat. "You little slut. You liked that didn't you?" He growled at her before pulling her roughly from the floor and back on her feet before he proceeded to removing the blinds from her eyes as well as the ones in her hands.
She blinked once then twice as she tried to get a proper look at the man in the dark but couldn't but she was certain he wasn't Asher or the guy in the car even. Beth had only a minute to take in her surrounding before she was pulled along and she struggled to keep up as she had only regained her sight and focus back while trying to adjust to darkness.
As they step out of the room and into the open, she began to see more people, both men and women, children and teenagers alike. The further they walked, the more there appeared, all staring at her and even more, making her realized it wasn't just a small gathering, it was a freaking community down here.
Beth was shoved into a room that looked to be a torture room with bright light, shackles and chains not to mention, the least as there only promised untold pain and suffering.
She gulped nervously when her eyes caught sight of Asher as he stood staring at her with intense hatred across his features. Making her wonder if he was truly the same man she met just yesterday that was warning her about street kids.
Funny how he turned out to be worst than those same kids he has saved her from.
The magnitude of his glare told her of the excruciating pain he has planned for her in that room.
Notwithstanding the extent of his hate for her, Beth found herself staring back at those same dark eyes of his without attempting to look away.
His hands were balled into a tight fist as his jaw clenched and unclenched dangerously and when he moved towards her, he did it ever so gracefully and with full authority. If he wasn't out to hurt her at that point, Beth would have been so tempted to fall to her knees begging to be taken by him but then again, this graceful man was really out to hurt her and that's truth is enough for her not to see him as anything other than the monster he really was.
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
