I wake up to the same beeping, knowing that I was in the hospital, I tried right away to contact Nyx but she was gone, unable to contact to me. That only meant one thing, they had injected me with wolfsbane and silver again, riding me of both my power and my wolf. I open my eyes slowly, blinking several times against the light, the world slowly coming into focus. Drax was sat at the side of the hospital bed, watching me closely. I tried to move, realising that my arms were chained to the bed, my panic instantly rising. what was going on? Why did Drax seem so calm? "unchain me." I whisper, turning my head to look at him, my own voice betraying me as I growl. "Not until I'm sure you will behave yourself, you have caused quite the stir among my pack, she-wolves are thinking they can fight back against their mates." He shakes his head, acting as though it was the worst thing that could have happe

We walked back to the dining room in silence once it was time for lunch, my heart racing the entire time as the thought of seeing Drax again, I didn't want to like him. I didn't want to be anywhere near him, but something inside of me called for him. Perhaps it was the mate bond, it had a strange way of pulling people together. Even when that was the last thing you wanted. I spotted him already in his seat, watching me as I entered, his eyes lingering on my chest where the dress was cut low. He smiles and motions for me to come to him when his beta let go of my arm, I walked toward him slowly, purposely swinging my hips a little. I needed to get on his good side if I was ever going be allowed to have my wolf back, let alone my powers. I had to play the game of being a good mate, to the best of my ability. I had to make him believe that I wanted to be with him, that I was willing to behave. but I also couldn't

Drax escorted me down to the dining room, his mood quickly lifting from the sour one it had started as. The others had already arrived and I noticed that Chloe had more bruises on her face and arms than she had the day before. My heart going out to her. I wish that their was some way I could help her get out of this, but we were both trapped with these monsters with little hope of escape. he took his usual seat and I took mine, my head lowered slightly as I was told it should always be. They had a strange way of looking at women in this pack, and strange views on how things should be. But again their was nothing that I could do about it. I couldn't stop them from treating us like property, because that's how they saw me, I was nothing but a prize to be won and Drax thinks he has won. I saw the guard who escorted me to my room yesterday, he was stood in the doorway, just the same as the day before, his eyes roaming the room but

Chloe and I ended up watching four movies together and by the end, I beloved that we were good friends, she even talked about her family for quite some time. She had three younger siblings and her father was an alpha, she never really wanted a mate so when James found her she tried to reject him. To be honest, I didn't blame her, if I had a mate like James I would reject him too, he was an asshole. I climbed off the sofa, the room suddenly spinning and my stomach churning as I bent forward, trying to keep my breakfast in my stomach. Chloe approached me slowly, worry written all over her face. "Are you ok? You've gone really pale Annalise." im about to reply when my stomach churns again and I throw up all over the carpet before collapsing onto my knees, my head spinning. "Jesus! Are you ok?" Arron calls from by the door, shocked at the amount of vomit that came out of me. 

The drive was long and boring, but it was a relief when we pulled onto Dean's pack lands, and I recognised it instantly. My heart beating rapidly and my palms sweating at the thought of seeing them again, Matthew and I had time to catch up, but I couldn't wait to have all of them by my side. I needed them all. Wanted them all. I couldn't wait to tell them that I was pregnant, Matthew and I had spoke about it in length on the journey and even had a few name ideas depending on the sex. But I wanted to see the others and tell them so bad, I wanted them to know how much I had missed them... how much I loved them.  I had hated being away from them more than anything else I had ever experienced, I just wanted to be comfortable in their arms. Comfortable and safe with the men i love.  I jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped, rushing into the pax house so fast I barley heard matthews voice t
