I am trembling seriously, my legs shaking like jelly fish. I'm exhausted.
Surprisingly, after that day Mark did not order the guards to beat me. A week is gone and still no punishment, this is not right. Something is fishy.
I close my eyes, a pair of brown orbs showing. I opened my eyes, I took a hard breath. Since I saw those eyes, I haven't forgotten about them. They're the most beautiful pair I have ever seen. I want to see them again, I need to see them. But how?
I'm sure he'll reject me, the thought of that makes me sick. Who was I kidding? My mate is no ordinary man, he's a king. An Alpha king. The head of a park. What a deep shit!
I clean the sweat on my forehead with my sleeve. I wonder what my future holds, I'm just 21. He already hates me, I saw it in his eyes, his cold gaze. He thinks I betrayed him. Only if he knows the truth, only if.
He's going to reject me, he won't accept me. That isn't going well with me. But that's the harsh reality, every wolf fears this and mine is going to become true. I wish I could rewind to my birthday three years ago. I would not have run. I place my hands on my face, bringing them to my knee. Sobbing hard. I wish.
To make it worse, there is no escape from this place. Funny, I'll have to die here...I guess. Being a punching bag, a vending machine for him to vent out his frustration to that bastard, till I forget myself and die. That thought alone is terrifying.
My thoughts were interrupted when a hand touched my shoulder. I shiver, moving away. I look up and see him. I gulped hard.
He stood by the door, looking at me. "Lost in thoughts, sweetheart?" He asked.
Stupid for me to think he'll leave me alone, maybe he was busy all those times he didn't show up. When I offered no response, he started moving closer.
He stayed a foot away from me, looking at me. I stare back. His stares are making me uncomfortable. Sighing, "what do you want, Mark?" I asked with irritation.
His face changed from expressionless to cold. I gulped. "You dare call me by my name?"
I scoff. "At least now I know your name, just as stupid as you. You're no Alpha." I said angrily, I'm tired. Tired of this treatment. What the fuck have I done to deserve this?
He laughed, a bitter laugh. "You know what I can do to you...don't you?"
"You've already done your worst, what else? Beaten, checked. Servant, checked. Chained down, checked. Punishment, checked. What else? What!?" Damn! I'm so frustrated, I hate the way I'm helpless. I hate being this way, to top it up..my mate saw me kissing this bastard, he'll think I cheated on him. Arg!!
He smirks, "someone is angry. I have done all, apart from one. And today, tonight. I'll make you do it, forcefully or not." He said in a cold voice.
The way he's talking and looking at me is not going well with me. What will he do? What does he wa—
He laughs loudly. "Confused? Well then, you'll be warming my bed, Colin." He said with so much venum.
My eyes enlarged. No, never. Impossible. I'm never getting laid by him. Not in this life or next. Never! Fear begins within me…
"Getting raped?" I asked in disbelief. I laughed bitterly. "Never, over my dead body, Mark."
"Watch me," he smirks. "Guards, carry her and follow me." He said to the guards, his eyes not leaving mine.
It can't be, no. I would rather die. It definitely can't be. The guards carried me in their arms, throwing me over their shoulders. I scream, kicking my legs. Do all sorts but they didn't leave me. I started crying. I would rather die.
I dropped forcefully on his bed. He starts undressing, taking slow steps towards me. I coiled up on the other end of the bed. Tears streaming down my eyes. "It's nice...seeing you cry," he said in satisfaction. He enjoys what he's seeing. I need to think of something, anything. I scan the room, looking for any weapon or something I can use against him. My eyes landed on a fruit knife on a small table in the middle of his room. I smirk.I look up at him to see him already looking at me. Confusion laced in his face. I cleared my throat. "Let me go before you regret it, Mark. Now or never." He furrowed his brows. "I saw you crying a minute ago, where is this confidence coming from? Girl, I'm having you tonight." Anger laced in his voice. He starts to unbutton his shirt."Your choice," I gave him a creepy smile.To God, I am scared beyond imagination, I'm very scared to death. But I'll never show it. I have not hurt someone before...even an animal. But today, I'll hurt one.Slowly, ste
Jordan's Pov I hate this marriage, but what choice do I have? I just have to go through with it. It broke my heart completely when I saw my mate on another person's legs, kissing. I mean, I've been waiting for years for her, I disagree with any proposal to get married to another maiden. I felt disgusted with her, I mean..how could she? Like, I didn't get with another lady just because of her and she couldn't wait for three years? Scoff. I'm such a fool, I should have known. Last Friday, I had a meeting with the ministers. Yes, I'm the Alpha. But at times we need the consent of others. My parents and the ministers literally forced me into marriage, I was not happy with it a little bit. I've always wanted my mate. But seeing my mate in the arms of another man is not only devastating but heartbreaking. I mean...why does the moon goddess have to tie me with a cheat as a mate. Hell, I did nothing wrong. Sigh. I've not been myself ever since I saw her with another man, they say l
Stacy's PovStrange after so many years, I still remember the way to my pack. I'm so tired and dehydrated. But I can't relax, I can't risk it. I cross the border to my pack, I breathe a sigh of relief. I'm free, I'm so free, finally. I slid to the floor, crying my eyes out. Crying because I made it out alive, crying because I was not sexual assulted, crying because I'm happy I can finally be with my mate. I regretted that day a lot, the day I ran away. I shouldn't have. My biggest mistake. And now, I really hope he won't reject me and give me a chance to explain myself.After calming my nerves down, I stood up and started walking again. I still don't feel safe till I make it to the pack house. After a few minutes of walking, I saw the building not very far away. From where I am, I can hear the loud banging of music and lights flashing. What's going on? Seems there's a celebration. With the main house full of guests, I won't locate my mate fast enough. I sigh. What a great day today
Stacy's PovI was relieved. He didn't marry her. After he walked out, Mila fell to the floor and started crying. My- Her parents went to her side to comfort her. I smiled bitterly. God, I hate them. I am beyond ecstatic, I just feel the need to celebrate my victory.But I shouldn't get too excited, there's no chance that Jordan might accept me. I walked out of the room. But I didn't go outside the main door. Instead, I found myself in a hallway. Where the fuck is this?"Stacy?" A voice called. I stiff, who knows me? Oh, God. Please help me. Slowly, I turn around and I met with a guy. A guy. Who's he?"Sorry, who?" I asked as quietly as I can. "Oh," he said.He looks somewhat...hurt? I frown. "Oh?" I raise my eyebrow at him. He smiled, "Stacy, where have you been? I looked for you. I missed you." His voice gives away the sadness. He moved closer and wrapped his hand around me. He feels familiar. I moved back and look at his eyes, brown? My father's eyes colour… I opened my eyes wide
Jordan's PovI pace back and front in my office. I've should have called the security but I don't want anyone knowing about this till I know why the fuck she came back.It's been three hours, three hours since the ball, everyone left two hours ago, yet no sign of her. Where did fuck did she go now? Or has she left? I stopped, she didn't...right? I let out a nervous laugh, she wouldn't just leave after she appeared. So where the fuck is she? I groan, running my hand through my already messy hair. Jesus, Stacy, you'll be the end of me. The sun is still setting but no sign of her yet. I should probably give up. She left, she didn't want me. Hell, another heart break. I let out a painful laugh. "Can you at least stop pacing around if you won't tell us what the hell is wrong." Ana said. Yeah, both her and James won't leave me the fuck alone. The 'i wanna be alone' words seems hard for them to understand. I ignored her and continued pacing.Yeah, I should stop. I mean, she left me. I sh
Stacy's Pov"You should walk faster, Stacy." Billy's voice disrupts my thoughts.I raised my head up, seeing I was far behind, I jogged up to where he was. So what if he doesn't accept me? What if he locks me up in a cell? Let's not go there, he wouldn't do that. I mean, I'm sure he didn't mate with Mila 'cause he saw me there. Sigh. Fuck my life.We've gotten to the Alpha house but I was hesitant to go in. I'm sure he isn't expecting me. "Go in," Billy said.I nodded and started moving. I stop in my tracks, I turn back to Billy. He raises one of his eyebrows. I sigh, "What if he rejects me?" I asked him."Do you have any reason for him to do so?" "Not exactly," I sigh; I tend to do that a lot. I'm really stressed. The fact that he caught me on another guy's lap with my lips locked on his, I don't think he will. "I don't know, Billy." I said instead.He rubs the bridge of his nose, "He won't, Stacy. I don't think there's a reason for him to do so." He purses for a while, before add
Jordan's PovI caught her before she could fall on the floor. She looks pale. I touch her forehead with the back of my right hand, she's burning up. I panicked.'James, get the park doctor and meet me in the room next to mine. Now!' I told him through mindlink.'Yes, Alpha.' That's one thing I like about James, he knows when things are urgent. He doesn't ask stupid questions like Ana does. I stood up with Stacy in my arms, I yanked the door open. Using my speed, I ran to the room next to mine. I'd have taken her to the park hospital, but I can't risk it.I don't think I want people to know that I've found my mate, at least not yet. She's yet to explain what she wants, mate or not. She hurt me.I felt the spark as I held her close to me. Fuck the bond.I hurried to the room and placed her on the bed. Within 30 seconds, the door burst open. James and the park doctor entered."Doc, she fainted." I said with worry lace in my tone."Calm down, Jordan. She'll be okay." She moved toward h
Stacy's PovI grunt. Christ, I feel sore all over, my eyes feel heavy. As if a huge block was placed on them. My throat feels so dry. My head is pounding. And my body, don't let me get started with that. Slowly, I opened my eyes. I squirt because of the brightness. I close my eyes and open them again, adjusting to the light. I take in my surroundings, the unfamiliar place. The room was painted in blue and a stripe of white. The big bed was placed at the center, with two bed drawers by each side. On the drawer on my left, a lamp was on the top of it. While to my right was empty. There are three doors. A bathroom and closet and the door to outside. Where am I? IV was connected to my hand. Why's there IV on my wrist? I tried to think back to what happened but that resulted in more pounding in my head. I groan, just what I needed. I tried to stand up but the pain I'm feeling at my back isn't helping at all. I exhaled loudly before giving up and just laid there on the bed.'Where are we
