The ride has been silent, he hasn't said a word. He said that he would go over all the rules with me, but I don't dare ask. I just stare out the window and wait for it to begin. But it never does. I'm glad that he doesn't hurt me. But I'm also scared of what he has planned. He has never been nice to me, so I know it's not good.My throat still hurts from him fucking it. He's so forceful, I don't understand why he can't be gentle like Asher. I was so looking forward to the night being spent with Asher. The disappointment I got when I realized it was going to be spent with Zealand. Asher probably won't even want to touch me once I come back.I really wouldn't be able to blame him for what Zealand does to me. He makes me feel so dirty and worthless. After I'm with him, I have to build myself again. I'm afraid that one of these times I am not going to be able to. I know that's what he wants to break me to where I'm just not fixable.We turn onto a bumpy road, I can't see anything, it's al

I freeze, I don't know what to do. I was told not to even look outside. He never said I couldn't answer the door. But I know that he is the only one who knows that I'm here. There would be no point in him knocking on the door, he has the key. I guess he could have lost the keys. But I know he would demand me to open the door.The knocking continues, but it gets louder. I can tell the person behind the knock is getting frustrated. I put my bowl of soup down, and I try to think of the best thing for me to do. The only thing that comes to my mind is to hide. I take a deep breath, trying to clear my mind. The cabin is so dark that I can't see my hand in front of me. I do not have the light, but they will. So, I need to hide where I'm not only unseen in the dark but also in the light.The best place I could think of would be under the bed. But that is where everyone hides. It would be the place where they would look first. That's when I realize I need to hide in a place where I'm able to r

As I'm beginning to wake up, I can feel the sunshine on my face, the warmth is remarkable. I reach my arms to the sky As I slide up from the headboard To sit on my bed. I feel so rested. I feel amazing. I haven't felt this good waking up in a long time. As I look at the sunshine, loving its warmth on my body, I then notice oh my god the blinds are open. I then push the covers off of me and jump out of bed to shut the blinds, but before I do, I glance outside and take in its beauty. I have been stuck in this cabin, unable to see the outside. It makes you really appreciate nature's beauty. I then make my way back to my bed to lay back down. Just wanting the warmth from the covers. But then I remember him, the man on the couch. Knowing he had to be the one that brought me to my bed. Instead of getting back under the covers. I make my way to the bedroom door. Once I opened the door the smell of bacon hit me making my stomach growl. I then make my way out to the kitchen. As I'm walking

I look at him with a stern face, wanting him to take me seriously. But when I saw his brown eyes looking into mine, I began to smirk. He then smiles at me, “what are your terms?”I cough to clear my throat and begin to speak, “I want to have total control over myself, I don't want to be controlled at all. Your advice is always welcomed, but only I make all the choices that involve me.”“No putting your hands on me unless I want them on me.”“Also, I need us to go check on my father and let him know what is happening, so he knows that I'm okay and that I have escaped Zealand for good.”“I can do the first 2 but the last one I won't be able to do the. It's too dangerous to go back there right now, but maybe in a couple of weeks when things slow down we can.”“I need to make sure that they are okay. When Zealand sees I'm gone, he will go after them.”“Zealand won't be going after anyone, he is hiding like the coward he is.”“Wait, he is the king, he is supposed to fight for his kind and

I'm so confused about what just happened. Why wouldn't he want me to give him pleasure? Why would he want nothing in return? I want to understand him. He is so different from anyone I have ever met before. I just look away from him, not wanting him To see my confusion. As I hear the floor creaking, I look just to watch him walk out of the bedroom. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom. I shut the bathroom door. I then turn to the shower, open the curtain and turn on the water letting the water warm. As I turn around, I see a mirror. I look into the mirror, I don't see any bruises, my lips aren't swollen. All I see is me, I can see the person that's looking back at me. I am no longer broken. I am strong but am I. I know that I need to find my father. I need to make sure he's OK. But am I strong enough to reach him? Then I hear a faint voice, You are strong enough, especially when we're together. We can do anything, I promise you. I look around the room wondering where Axel is bu
