**T. W- Physical and sexual Violence**Isla's POV:"Why? " I demanded. He chuckled and shook his head, looking at me again. Something was off. So much different about him. I couldn't put my finger on it. But he was not the same Hayder I left. "You should be happy. I brought you back."I shot him a quizzical look and asked again, " I don't belong to this pack. And you know that, Alpha Hayder. "He shrugged his shoulders as if what I just told him didn't matter to him at all. He continued to stare at me. His lips curled into a small smile. He looked so lost and out of his mind, to be honest. "You can't leave this pack! That was a terrible mistake and I amended it. Get that straight into your head. "My hands were still tied to the chains and I couldn't even get away from his hot breath falling on my lips. He seemed to be enjoying our situation. "I am cursed. " I reminded him. The curse was the only thing which would make him stay away from me. He frowned and gave me a mean look.

Isla's POV:I dreamt of Alpha Caden after Hayder had left me locked in the room. He was so angry and was about to kill Hayder when I woke up to the sound of a woman waking me up. Her back was turned at me and I hissed in pain when the chain burnt me again. My wounds were healed and I could move properly. "I brought you food. Would you like water first? " She asked, vibrantly. "Can you take me to the washroom? I really need to pee and clean myself. " Her smile vanished and she grew nervous. "I won't make it difficult for you. " I gave her a reassuring smile. Well, it was the truth. I couldn't escape and neither did I have the power to fight them off. I could only wait for someone to rescue me. "Do you promise? " She asked. I gave her a nod and smiled to reassure her. She was so unsure of letting me out of the chains. "But just a few minutes. " I waited for her to remove the restraints and stretched my arms to help the blood rush through my veins. The bruises had turned violet

Isla's POV:My eyes were glued on the terrified frame of Amelia who was standing beside the window. I could feel the blood trickling down my neck from the small cut on my cheek. "I didn't mean to hurt her, Hayder. She was talking rubbish about you. " Hayder snorted, " She can say whatever she wants to. Who gave you the permission to come here? "She sobbed, " I wanted to talk to her. "He stalked towards her with predatory steps and his eyes fell on me once. His frown deepened as he stared at the blood on my face. "What if I wouldn't have checked the cameras? You would have hurt my Isla! "Shock fell over me and I felt my heart thundering against my chest. He had set up cameras in the room! Everything made me nauseated. "I am your mate! " Hayder was quick enough to jump on her and grabbed her by the throat. Her feet dangled in the air a few inches above the ground. "You were never my mate! Do you think I don't know who your real mate is? Huh? "Amelia struggled miserably in his

Isla's POV:I laid awake on the bed for hours in the dark. The memories won't leave me alone. They would start from the time of my birth till now. Not like I could change anything now. But still the tears won't stop from falling on my cheeks. I didn't want to cry. I didn't want Hayder to see me crying. I was a mess of emotions and I didn't know why all I wanted to do was get some sleep and make fake scenarios in my head that I was free and living a normal life somewhere in a foreign place. With lots of effort, I stood up from the bed. The window haunted me. It reminded me of what had just happened an hour ago. I wondered if the pack members were doubting the sudden fall of their Luna. Or they didn't care about her at all because she wasn't so social from these past few months. To be honest, I didn't consider Amelia to be at fault at all! She was doing what all young she-wolves were taught since childhood. To compete. In this battle of getting the power, two women had already lost

Isla's POV:Hayder was still discussing something with the seer who had taken him to a quiet corner in the room. They were whispering to each other and I tried my best to listen, only for me to understand nothing. My hands were covering my belly and I couldn't even imagine anything happening to my child. "Yes, bring that woman here. It's better we don't waste any other second. "Hayder gave the seer a quick nod and immediately left the room. The seer narrowed his eyes at me and made himself comfortable on the chair beside him. "How do you use your healing powers? " He asked, snapping his fingers. I didn't want to entertain him by telling this crazy man about my healing abilities. "How can you be so selfish? A healer wolf is the kindest one in the werewolf world. Yet, you lack the basic empathy towards others. " He taunted me and I hated the sound of his fingers. "Well, keeping me here against my will, might the reason for this cold behavior. "I said, gritting my teeth and keepi
