All Chapters of Hunted By My Rejected Mate: Chapter 141 - Chapter 147

Chapter 143|| Alexis's POV ||The air in the dungeon smelt of mold and rusted metal. My wrists were bruised from the cold metal encircling me like a curse, and the stone beneath me sucked all heat from my body. My mind thudded with weakness, my body icy from the position I had been held in for hours, or perhaps days. Time meant nothing to me. But what plagued me more than pain or darkness was the question—what would Elinda do now to save me?Would she even try?I tried to wash the doubt away, but it clung to me stubbornly.The last thing I wanted was for her to keep hurting because of me. But deep inside of me, a weak hope whispered anyway—She'll come. She has to.The thud of footsteps echoed from the hallway outside. I straightened up, my heart racing. The clanking of heavy boots grew louder, then ceased. I listened to keys entered into the lock door.Three men emerged, towering, masked, and intimidating. I recognized them at a glance.

The man who had brought me up, shaped me into the person I was, but also the man who always assumed to know what was good for me, even when he did not. His stiff posture, the tension in his shoulders, and the chill in his eyes said it all. He was waiting for me, as always, to hear his judgment.I didn't even have to utter a word before he began.
