*TRIGGER WARNING*
*Melody’s POV*
I felt tears stream down my face as he pulled himself out of his pants and stroked against my lips while tightening his hold on my hair.
I squirmed further, not letting the pull on my scalp stop me from my attempt to escape. He chuckled as he nodded his head before the stupid guard leaned his body on top of me, holding me in place better. I felt him harden against my asš, forcing a shiver to run down my body.
“I-I’m sorry. Please.” I choked out before the man tutted, sneering down at me.
“Open your mouth,” He grunted as he placed his cōck against my lips.
I shook my head frantically, making him yank my hair further. “You will suck my cōck and if you so much as bite me, every one of my men will fūck all your holes many times a day until your heart gives out years from today. How does that sound?” He spat, making me choke on a sob. “Doesn’t sound so bad now, huh? Now. Open. Your. Mouth.” He snarled.
My mind was running a million miles a second as my body suddenly heated up with desire, making my eyes widen. He smirked as he stroked my cheek. “I see the dosage finally kicked in.” He murmured with heated eyes as I lost control of my body.
It was like I was in my body, but it had a mind of its own. What was in that shot? How in the hell was I going to keep fighting if I had no control?
I cried harder as my mouth opened up for him. I didn’t know a thing about what to do, but again, I had no control.
The sick bastard pushed all the way in my mouth, making me gag as heat pulled in between my legs. My body heated in embarrassment at its reaction to being literally rāped in the mouth. I just hoped he stopped there. I hoped that someone saved me even though I knew better. My father probably gave up on looking for me already. I mean, he did give up on my mother, so why wouldn’t he do so for me?
The sick man’s voice broke me from my thoughts as he grunted while his thumb caressed my jaw. “Now that I have your attention,” He grunted, thrusting his hips into my mouth while I lay there a sobbing and slobbery mess. “You will do as you’re told. We will train you before we put you into the next auction in a few days. The final dosage will have you begging your buyer to take that little cherry of yours. If you don’t listen before then and make us lose our money, I will take you myself before I let all my men have their way with you.” He struggled to breathe as his jerks became sloppier. “You will wish for death, but we won’t let it happen as we all take turns with your holes. I’m sure the auction sounds better now, doesn’t it?”
I didn’t bother replying—not that I could—as I struggled to breathe. How did I get into this situation?
I closed my eyes, struggling to fight my arousal at the sound of his grunts and, as the disgusting guard started dry humping my behind. Was this what all those girls suffered when they disappeared? Did he do this to everyone?
Ignoring the combination of repulse and lust, I tried to focus on happy thoughts. Thoughts of when mother was around and we were a happy family. It was somehow beginning to work until I felt him pull out of my mouth as warm liquid made contact with my lips, cheek, and chin.
“Fūck,” He grunted, my eyes opening to find him finishing on my face. “You look even more beautiful with tears and my cūm on you.” He said with a smile as he collected his release before pushing his fingers in my mouth, making me gag from the tangy taste.
I let my face fall against the desk as the asšhole that was on top removed his heavy body off me. I wanted to swallow a bottle of bleach and die, but I knew the likelihood of me having luck on my side was slim to none.
I felt alone and dirty. I really miss my wolf. Even my father, regardless if he had forgotten about me so soon.
“Take her to her new room,” I heard his deep voice mutter before the door opened and closed.
“Let’s go, Melody.” I heard the girl from earlier whisper with pity as she gently grabbed my arm.
I wanted to fight her and hopefully find my death, but I just wanted to curl in a ball in whatever dark new hole they had planned for me.
I had a feeling that whether I was sold, or he kept me here, it would still be living in hell. I just need to survive until I find my way out… If I ever did.
*Axel’s POV*
~Present Day~
It has been a few months since Analisa was taken and we have yet to find her whereabouts. While Priscilla still holds hope, Quinton and I know it’s a matter of time before she feels the bond break.
A few weeks after she was taken, I took up Quinton on his proposal to join the military. They were in need of more men to assist with tracking down the culprits kidnapping she-wolves and I was hopeful that it was connected with Analisa’s kidnapping, so I could bring her back to her family.
I’ve been in basic training for the last few months, but General Green is pleased with my progress and believes I’m ready for my first mission. All we are waiting for is the king’s approval, but he has been busy handling some matters with the princess.
“Hey, man! Coming to the party?” Gael shouted as he jogged over to me.
I met Gael the day I joined the military. The guy was a pain in my asš, but he’s a cool guy, nonetheless. Probably the only guy I can consider a friend here.
I wiped my forehead with my towel before sitting up on my bench. “The party?” I replied with brows furrowed. “What are you all celebrating now?”
He chuckled before patting my shoulder, only to realize how sweaty I was from my work out and wiping his palm on his jeans. “We are celebrating the first group deployed in months. We will finally get out of this shīthole.”
“We don’t even know who’s been selected yet.” I answered with an eye roll as I leaned forward and grabbed my water bottle.
“So, we celebrate for everyone.” He groaned in annoyance before running his fingers through his black hair, letting the large intricate tattoo peek through his inner bicep. “Come on, bro. You’ve missed the last few.”
“I have to call back home. I’ll think about it.” I muttered before leaning back against the bench and picking up the weights again.
“You better stop being a lame asš and show up this time or so, help me goddess.” He grunted as I heard his footsteps retreat.
I really did need to call Quinton to check how things are in the pack. Usually, we aren’t allowed to have phones when in the military, but they are very flexible since I was recommended by the king, himself, and I am a beta. Most of the other members were simple warriors or even deltas at the most.
Regardless of having to call Quinton or not though, I wasn’t going to go to that party. I tried the whole party shīt for a few months, but it wasn’t my vibe. I’m one of the oldest guys in my division and the last thing I needed as a beta was a scandal.
“Hello, tiger.” Kylie, another of the members in my division, purred as she straddled my waist.
She was a tall, dark-haired beauty with curves for days that knew just how beautiful she was and used it to her advantage. She’d been around and everyone knew it, but she was beautiful and was a decent lay. Who’d deny free pūssy?
“Kylie,” I grunted, lifting the weights smoothly.
“Let me guess… Missing tonight’s party?” She questioned, scraping her pointed nails slowly down my sweaty chest.
“Bingo.” I answered before I continued to mentally count while blowing out breaths of air.
“Good. So am I and I was thinking we could have our own private party.” She whispered as she slowly rubbed herself against my groin, forcing me to let go of the weights.
“Kylie,” I hissed as soon as I sat up and looked at the few people around the gym. “Don’t.”
“Why? Can you imagine how fun—” She was saying, but I covered her mouth with my hand, gripping her waist with the other in warning. Not that it made much of a difference, since her arousal was already filling the air.
“I told you that I don’t like scandals. I can’t publicly fūck you and have that reported back to the king.” I growled lowly at her before she stood up.
“Fine. Then follow me.” She murmured, interlacing her fingers in mine as she pulled me up.
I looked around briefly, making sure no one was paying us any mind. When I confirmed no one was looking our way, I followed her out of our gym. She kept looking over her shoulder as she tugged her lower lip in between her teeth, her arousal growing with each step.
Before we left the building, she pulled me into one of the nearby closets, impatiently closing the door and slamming her lips against mine.
I let her kiss me for a few seconds before growing bored. I’m not into emotional attachments or the whole kissing shīt. That’s for people in relationships. I’m here to fūck and get out. I didn’t love Analisa, but I did care for her and was going to try the whole relationship thing. I don’t want to go through that shīt again. Even if I find Analisa alive, I’m not sure I’m still open to taking her as my mate. At least my wolf and I were finally in agreement about something.
I wrenched my lips from hers before turning her around and pushing her against the door, making her laugh. Dash growled in annoyance before retreating to the back of my mind like he always did when I fūcked someone that wasn’t his fated mate.
I gripped the waistband of her spandex and pulled them down in one quick go, instantly finding her without panties and earning an approving growl from me.
I wrapped my hand around her waist as she stepped out of her shorts. Brushing my lips against her ear, I asked her what she wanted. She moaned desperately, begging to be filled with my hard cōck.
I lowered my fingers into her dripping core as I teased her while her back arched against my front. I rubbed my thumb against her clīt as I inserted my ring and middle fingers into her pūssy. I was hard as fūck as I worked my way to her orgāsm. I liked her opening to be nice and slippery before I pushed my way into her.
“Oh goddess,” She cried as her nails scraped down the door. “I’m fūcking cūmming already.”
“Good,” I growled in her ear as I picked up my speed before earning a splash of her heat as she came on my hand. “Free my cōck.” I commanded her without letting her take a breath of air.
She reached behind her back as I pulled my fingers out of her slick folds and placed them in her mouth. She moaned as she sucked my fingers clean while her hand searched for my cōck inside my boxers. As soon as she freed my member, she jerked me off, making my sensitive cōck twitch in desire.
I pulled my fingers out of her mouth and reached for my pockets where I had my wallet. I swiftly pulled out a condom and ripped it open with my teeth, placing it in her hand. She rubbed it on as I wrapped her hair in one hand and pulled her hips back.
“Hands on the door, Kylie,” I grunted in her ear as I reached for my wrapped-up shaft and aligned it with her core.
She barely had the chance to steady herself when I slammed into her cunt, forcing her to cry out in pleasure as she clenched around my ready cōck.
“Fūck,” She groaned as I pulled her hair back and fūcked her ruthlessly. She wanted my cōck? Then I’ll give her exactly what she wanted.
Thrusting my hips in and out of her on repeat, I was growing closer to reaching my orgāsm. I picked up my pace, making her shout my name louder. I pulled out briefly before bending over and picking up her shorts. As soon as I stuffed them inside her mouth, I pushed my aching length right back in.
“Take my cōck.” I roared, her pūssy clenching tighter around me. “Fūcking take it.”
In no time, I was pouring my warm seed inside my condom with a loud curse. She was right behind me as she left claw marks on the wooden door.
I pulled out, not bothering to remove the condom until I made it to my room. I quickly tucked myself in just as my phone vibrated in my pocket.
“That was fun.” Kylie purred as she turned around after having taken the pants out of her mouth and slipped them back on.
“Sure.” I replied, making her scowl as I took the call. I knew she wanted to continue her party in my room, but I already had my fill. I couldn’t have her getting all clingy.
“General,” I greeted him as I exited the closet, leaving a seething Kylie behind. “How can I help you?”
“The alpha king is here and he’d like to meet with you within the next ten minutes.” He stated as soon as I answered, forcing me to groan internally.
Great. Weeks of waiting to meet with the king and he finally arrives when I’m all sticky and sweaty.
“I’m on my way.” I answered, pressing the end button on my phone.
*Axel’s POV* A low growl rolled through the blackened woods, swallowed quickly by the wind and the pounding rain. The forest groaned under the weight of the storm—branches lashed, leaves tore, and the earth softened into mud. Dash’s paws ripped through the ground as we made our way through the forest. A streak of motion caught our attention. They were closing in on us. Wolves burst between trees, lightning flashing overhead. Through the overwhelming smells, I smelled her. Almond and coffee with a hint of—blood. Dash sped up, our heart racing—desperate to find her. Water streamed from the draping branches before crashing into Dash’s midnight black fur. Our muscles coiled and exploded with each stride, claws slipping but gripping where they could.Through the pouring rain, I could see her. Defenseless and lying on the ground. Wolves circling in. The forest became a blur: trunks like looming ghosts, roots like traps. Dash was at her side in a heartbeat, teeth baring, a growl ripping
*Axel’s POV* “What do you mean that they want to take her home?” I blurted out, not needing to mind link anymore. Goddess, I didn't want a mate, but they couldn’t just take her when we hadn't even rejected each other. “Beta Axel, I understand your position, but we have to understand theirs as well. She was next in line for the beta position when she disappeared. Her father was devastated.” He lifted his hand as I was getting ready to interrupt him. “I haven’t given them the approval to take her just yet. Ultimately, it will be her decision.”Her decision should be to be with her mate. At least until we break the bond. “It may be good for her,” the prince added before placing a hand on my shoulder. “What if they were the ones that sold her out? Have you considered that?” I questioned them. “That they willingly sold her or something.”The thought actually crossed my mind several days ago, but I was going to look into my theory when she had woken up, considering my wolf would get anxi
*Axel’s POV* I was pacing in front of the bed, emotions all over the place. Confused because how in the goddess’ name was there wolfsbane in Melody’s system. Angry, well, because my wolf was angry at the whole situation, and it was transferring to me. Tense because I was waiting for the king to call me regarding the investigation he put in place after this incident. At least the doctors managed to stabilize her. They blocked off this room for visitors too. Not that many people have visited her, considering we were holding off on informing her pack until we had further information.I ran my fingers through my hair just as the door opened. I looked up to find Gael walking towards me. “How is she?” He asked with a chin motion that signaled he was referring to Melody. “Stable,” I muttered, briefly looking towards her. For some odd reason, I couldn’t bear look at her. I felt… I shook my head before returning my attention to Gael. “The king wants to see you. He said he needs to discuss
*Axel’s POV*I cracked my stiff neck in a sad attempt to relieve it from its ache. My tired eyes drifted to the window to find the sun rising yet again. I sighed before leaning my head against the stone-cold wall. “We need to continue with our duties, Dash.”“But Mate—”“Our mate will be fine. There hasn’t been any change in the past week and our lack of training, eating, or even breathing natural air is only making us lose years of training. She doesn’t need a weak mate.” I’m still not on board with accepting a mate, but I need him on my side if I want to get our strength back faster. A mad wolf is like having no wolf at all. “Fine,” he muttered reluctantly. “But I want to come back here tonight.” I groaned as I stood straight and rolled my shoulders. There was a soft tap on the door before it creaked open. “Sorry to wake you, Beta.” One of the nurses said softly as she walked towards our mate… I mean Melody. The more I get that into my head, the more I can avoid this damn bond.
*POTENTIAL TRIGGER**Axel’s POV*With a deep breath, I reached for the door, not caring one bit about the potential dangers behind it. I could feel the room being filled after the commotion I caused as I twisted the handle. But I couldn’t focus on anything other than finding out if my mate was behind that door. Goddess, I hope on everything that she was.I yanked the door back, immediately overwhelmed by the mixed scents. My mate’s was obviously the strongest, overpowering the thought of exploring the reason all the scents lingered behind in this obviously small closet.My feet moved forward on their own accord, desperate to find any evidence, my mate hidden, even another hidden door.It was a dark and small closet space, but my werewolf sight allowed me to move inside while I ripped clothes side to side. I had barely registered the prince joining me in my search before he started pulling the hangers right off the rod. He seemed just as desperate as me to get to the bottom of everythi
*POTENTIAL TRIGGER* *Melody’s POV* I had no clue where I would go as soon as I walked out of that room. But it wasn’t long before one of the many aggressive men that worked for my captors roughly grabbed my elbow and led me back to where they’d usually kept us. I was both anxious and relieved at the knowledge that I’d be taken back there. Vanessa would most likely be there. But so could the evil queen and her brother… A shiver ran down my spine at the thought just as we entered the secret passage we had walked through earlier. Between the memories of the man that marked me and the stress of going back, I was beginning to feel lightheaded. My legs shook uncontrollably with each step I took, the walls we passed by feeling like they were closing in on us. My pulse quickened, forcing me to take big, greedy gulps of air through my mouth. Oh goddess, I’m about to have a panic attack. “If you don’t move, I’ll let the men that lingered behind get a hold of you. And I promise, they won’t
