ELENA’S POV Gradually I've been getting stronger over the past couple of days. A cleaning lady comes in from time to time to change the bedding and do my laundry, she doesn't talk much, not sure if it's because that's her nature or she's been ordered not to speak to me. Creek has come by once or twice to speak to me and make sure I'm okay but since then nothing.I didn't expect Valerian to wait on me hand and foot but it's kinda rude to ignore a guest. Not to mention a part of me misses him.Hmm, don't even go there Elena.But on the plus side, the nightmares have gotten less frequent but I still do have them though. I wonder if they'll ever stop.When Creek stopped by, he said I was free to go into the gardens to explore and get some fresh air, but I've been here trying to gather the courage to step outside this room. I feel like this room is my bubble, once I go out there the bubble pops and there's nothing to protect me anymore. A silly analogy I know.Someone knocks timidly bef
ELENA’S POVI was back there again. I didn't want to be here.Fates, take me out of this hellhole. I've been laying on the ground for Fates knows how long, it could be days, weeks, I wouldn't know the difference. I was naked but some guard or someone placed a blanket over my body, it helped with the cold on my body but not the cold that pierced my heart.I had healed fully and I knew it was a matter of time before they came back possibly with a new technique for them to use on me. The last time they gave me wolfsbane so I couldn't heal, I felt the pain for weeks on end. I'd cried so much at the beginning that I had no tears left to cry.I heard the jangle of keys soon enough, and I curled myself tighter into a ball on the floor. I hoped it was someone bringing the food. The first couple of times they brought food and I couldn't bring myself to eat it always leaving it untouched, I'd learned my lesson quickly.Now I'd realized that they didn't care if I ate or not, they just wanted me
ELENA’S POVHarder?" Zayn asked wickedly.She couldn't pull him into her with her hands bound. She couldn't nod while wrapped around his dick and I'd be impressed if she could even murmur an answer so that question was rhetorical. Although Nari's eyes looked up meeting Zayn's and I guess he took that as consent -not that he needed it -. Slowly, he withdrew only to slam back into her mouth again. Then he did it again and again.Her body flinched from the abuse, I could see her throat stretch as he pushed against her gag reflex. Her hands were clenched into fists, straining against the manacle. That hurt but Nari wouldn't dare complain, although I could see that she was getting aroused from the rough treatment. From here I could see that her pussy was flushed and swollen, getting wetter by the second.Zayn just needed to toy with her, just needed to use her. She wanted it and he gave it to her over and over, offering her no chance but to swallow him as he fucked her face…. hard.His ha
ELENA’S POV He raised the knife and cut, heaving his hips in time. As his dick rammed into her body, the blade left a straight line across her sternum. Blood quickly pooled in the shallow cut. The next thrust got another line, this one a little deeper. The third completed a triangle, and blood began to trickle down between her breasts. Nari moaned but when he started on a second triangle, she began to whimper. The cuts got even deeper. Her skin parted, gaping a little too much as Zayn crouched lower to keep his dick inside her. Ethan tried to help but gave up after the second try. Zayn didn't care though. He cut as he fucked, doing both as hard as he could. Once he finished the second triangle, he moved to her shoulder. "Make me stop," he taunted Nari. She simply whimpered, so he continued deeply carving a curving line below her shoulder in the shape of a snake. Blood colored her shoulders immediately and she screamed. The pain he inflicted on her drove him to ram into her harder.
ELENA’S POVThe silence was deafening. I think I shocked her into being dumb. Anika just sat there looking at me, her mouth opening and closing but no sounds coming out. Maybe I should have been more tactful, I thought but once my mind was made up I had to do it before I lost my nerves. I felt very jittery since I woke up from that dream...or should I say memory."Anika?" I prod, checking if she's still there..you know, mentally.She jolts seeming to be shaken out of her reverie and sits up straighter."Madam, i-i c-can't help you." she stumbles out, wringing her hands nervously. She looks up at me with wide scared eyes.I walk away from her, pacing around the room. I didn't know another way to contact Valerian. It wasn't like he gave me his phone number to call him. I whirled around suddenly facing her, struck by an idea."He has an office here right? I ask her."Yes madam," she says."Call me Elena," I say to her but she just looks away. I've tried to get her to call me Elena on sev
ZAYN'S POVThe sounds of fucking pierced his ears as he woke. His harem of women surrounded the bed in various states of undress. Several of his high-ranking officials were making use of some of the women. Good, they needed to relieve stress so they could give him the results he wanted. Glancing outside he could see it was night already, I guess I was worn out. I was up most of the day poring over strategies and ways to break through the Red Sun Hill city, he had to give it to them their defense was strong. But that was part of the fun in breaking such a strong city down. In every strong city, there was always a weak spot, all he had to do was find it and exploit it. They had some spies amongst the servants who gave them information from time to time, that was how they'd managed to stay undetected till now. Till that fool fucked it up. But no worries, he had a plan, and soon enough, Elena would be here again in her rightful place: between her mates.He entered his inner chamber, shut
VALERIAN’S POV"Are they ready to leave?" Esperanza's words snapped him out of the reverie returning him to the present. I curled a brow at her but Esperanza had yet to lift her head from the file she was reading, one hand smoothing over the pages."They're just about to depart. Soon they'll be approaching the borders of Zayn's city." I said calmly refusing to fidget or show any impatience to her. She knew all this already. There was a reason she asked for me."Good. I expect a report every afternoon until this…. situation is handled. I want everything you can find on the bastards and how they managed to breach our security." She ordered, at last lifting her steely grey eyes to mine.I refused to show anything but calm indifference, my temper not having cooled over the years just easier to control. He could still remember that bitter summer morning he lost his temper almost fifteen years ago. It constantly haunted him over the years, the pain unbearable at first -raw- but he carried i
VALERIAN’S POV"Alpha?" This way please" Sophia gestured down the hall as she led the way, all three of them ignoring the sulky fool left at the entrance."Any problems?" I asked, shifting my duffel bag over my shoulder knowing she would understand what I meant. This place wasn't under our direct jurisdiction, it was headed by an alpha who had called out for help when the attacks became frequent, and with the recent one….well, I guessed he figured out he needed help dealing with it but still yet some alphas could be touchy about several things especially when there is a more powerful alpha on their turf, it gets them agitated. The last thing I needed was another Jared pacing behind him, long strides slowed as he kept an eye on the hall behind them. Colin could be cunning and sneaky, we didn't trust him not to do anything suspicious."None, sir. All team members are accounted for and no signs of trouble yet we have surveillance in place. Aso Alpha Hercules has supplied us with two add
