9 : Hall of Shame.Bloom's Pov..I hurriedly ran out of his room.My heart was racing like I was at the point of death. Memories of how he pinned me on his bed quickly flooded my mind. " Calm down !!! Calm down..Bloom…." I panicked and made my way to the cave." Bloom……." I Heard someone scream by name and I turned to see who it was. It was Austin, The aura around him was appeasing and I felt enchanted by it." Hi……." I stuttered and he smiled." Do you have difficulty speaking????" Austin laughed and I giggled." Thank you for the other day…I would have felt really sick if you didn't intervene" Thank you very much" I said." Nahhhh…It's fine,You should stay clear from Liam,He is merciless and strict!!!!" Austin said and I nodded." Uhmmm…." I was about to reply to Austin when I sighted Liam." Thank you for the other day..I should be on my way now…." I bowed and ran out, Liam's presence was now even more threatening." What did you do now ??,See the way she ran out" Austin sighed."
The Forgotten Mate 10. 10 : A solace reminder. Austin helped me up, The eyes that gazed at me seem to be back busy with one thing or the other,Ana was at the other side of the kitchen,She had whispered calm words, Something like you are safe now . I was only safe from another of Liam's wrath and Punishment because Austin had rescued me." You Finger….." Austin pointed at my pinky and it was then I realized the broken vase had cut deeply into my fingers and I was bleeding." I will be fine…." I said and dipped my finger in my mouth and it made Austin burst into laughter." How razz !!!!!" Liam said from behind and I quickly grabbed my mop to leave and I felt a tight grip on my wrist." Where are you going???? We were having a discussion weren't we ??? Why are you running off????" Austin said and I let go of his grasp, Liam's eyes already sent a message, He didn't like Austin to be around me or even seeing me around, It irritated him. I felt like he hated me more than any other slave
The Forgotten Mate 11. 11: Who is your baby father.I was dumbfounded,If I was to tell him the circumstances on how I got it pregnant,It would be agreed that I am actually a harlot,So I was going to lie and although I wasn't a good liar I was going to pull some strings." Hmmmm…. You mean who is responsible for my pregnancy???" I asked and he nodded." Yes,He shouldn't have left you to be sold,Who is he ???" Austin asked his eyes filled with concern and I became guilty and upset that I had to lie to him but I really had no choice. " My mate…..He is the father of my unborn child but I will raise in on my own " I stated and Austin frowned." Did he reject you???" Austin asked and it felt like a heartache. My mind went to when Asher rejected me in front of everyone in the pack, The day I got rejected my mate that was supposed to love me and care for me,He is the only reason I was living on, The only reason I endured and he rejected me because I was weak, He rejected me because I was a
The Forgotten Mate12 : His Like Terms. Bloom's pov. I knew Liam gained pleasure in continually reminding me of what I , Since when I arrived at his pack, But what he had just said hurt deeper than whatsoever insults he had rained on me before." What !!! Why do you look so shocked????" Alpha Liam scoffed." It's nothing…." I looked away." How weak !!! I see how you let yourself be picked on and constantly bullied by your packmates and then you say you can prove yourself, There is nothing to prove!!!" Liam spat and I looked at Austin's direction. He was still deeply asleep.I wondered how deep he slept that he couldn't hear what had happened but I was happy he didn't witness how pathetic my life was." I'm not…." I whispered,I couldn't speak up or even try to say anything in a high tone because Liam could leave me alone here with these beasts as my punishment and nothing would be done. After all, I was an orphan with a family lineage that hated to see me alive." What did you just s
The Forgotten Mate 13 His Betrothed. Bloom's Pov.I couldn't believe Austin had just suggested that I could come with him to his pack, I snickered in excitement and Liam glanced at me in annoyance." Do you???" Austin asked and Liam cackled." Who said you can ask her questions???" Liam asked and Austin smirked. " Well…If you don't need a weakling like herself in your pack like you said,Then I can take her in " Austin said and I was eager to reply but Liam's eyes met mine and I just looked away." Shouldn't we get going…." I stuttered, Austin noticed I was trying my best to give me signals that I actually wanted to go with him.If Liam let Austin take me then it means I would no longer be a slave in Liam's pack,It simply means my story was going to take another twist." Bloom….. Won't you say anything???" Austin asked and I shrugged my shoulders." I have nothing to say…." " Obviously she has nothing to say because she is my property,I own her and I get to decide what goes on in he
The Forgotten Mate 14. Austin and Leah watched from behind as Liam carried bloom to the chariot, Leah stood clenching her fist, Austin was rather to shock or stunned to speak,He knew Liam didn't like touching bloom or any other slave, Carrying her like that was quite shocking. " Are you still certain history won't repeat itself????" Leah frowned." I am certain" Austin replied. Bloom's pov. Liam's claim on me was quite authoritative,He would casually say I was his property and he could control me the way he pleased,I didn't like to be called a property and I would normally complain or react but right now I was too grateful to say a word. I sat in the chariot, my injured leg throbbing with pain, when I noticed Austin stepping inside. His gaze immediately fell upon my injured limb, concern etched across his face. He took a seat beside me, his eyes filled with genuine care."Bloom, are you alright?" Austin's voice held a hint of worry as he addressed me.I mustered a smile, grateful
The Forgotten Mate 15. Defiant Slave defends herself. As Liam turned and left the room, his indifference hanging heavy in the air, Leah's malicious intent reached its peak. With a venomous glare, she advanced towards me, her anger boiling over, ready to unleash its wrath."You think you can just exist in this world without consequence, Bloom?" Leah hissed, her voice laced with pure contempt. "You're nothing but a worthless slave. I will make sure you know your place."Her words struck me like daggers, each syllable cutting through my already battered spirit. But this time, something within me snapped. I had endured enough, and I refused to be a punching bag for her sadistic amusement.With a newfound surge of strength and determination, I met Leah's gaze head-on. My voice trembled with a mixture of fear and defiance. "No, Leah. I will not allow you to degrade me any longer. I won't let you trample on my dignity."In an instant, Leah's hand swung through the air, aiming for my face.
The Forgotten Mate 16. The First Mate. As I returned to my quarters, my heart still fluttering with the memory of the unexpected laughter shared with Alpha Liam, I found solace in the presence of my dear friend, Ana. With weary steps, I made my way towards her, the weight of recent events etched upon my face.Ana looked up from her task, concern etching lines upon her forehead. "Bloom, what happened?" she asked, her voice filled with worry.A mixture of relief and sadness washed over me as I sat down beside her. "Ana, you won't believe what just transpired," I began, my voice laden with a sense of disbelief. "Alpha Liam invited me to share a meal with him, and we actually laughed together."Ana's eyes widened, a mixture of surprise and caution flashing in her gaze. "That's...unexpected," she replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "But, Bloom, be careful. The Alpha's intentions can be fickle. We know what Leah is capable of."A heaviness settled upon my heart as the memory of L
