All Chapters of Bound By A Dare, Rejected By The Alpha: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

RosieSilent sobs and placating voices leave me feeling like a spectator. Xylus, who has been quiet the whole while, looks like he's on the verge of crying himself. Deep frown lines are etched into his forehead as he twiddles his first fingers nervously. Just like him, I feel out of place. It's just so sudden, and I wish this was a dream I need to wake up from.My chest feels tight when I gulp, fog clouding my vision as warm tears stream down my cheeks. Luna Sarah has always been a pinnacle of authority, motherhood, strength, and devotion. Seeing her this way makes me want to hug her tight, tell her everything would be okay, that she has me, Ashton, Xylus, and Dominic, but I can't even bring myself to part my lips. My feet feel like jelly, and my palms are sweaty from anxiety.Dinner passes by with a hovering sad cloud lingering overhead. Luna Sarah tries to cheer us up, but we're all in sour moods. Ashton is quiet most of the time, only reassuring her when Dominic tells her there's a

Rosie's POVMy eye’s sore. I try to blink. My head hurts. I can’t turn either. My hands...Wait, my hands are tied down to a chair.“Argh.” I try to free myself as I push up.Where am I?I look around, this is some kind of basement but very unfamiliar.Was this Ashton’s way of asking me to be his sub again? Because being bound to a chair sounds like his type of foreplay.“Hello?” I call out but my voice echoes back at me.Shit! How did I get here? Yesterday? What was I up to?Emma? Yes! I... I... I followed Emma home and... wait... wait... I never got to see her home before I blacked out.Shit again! “Emma!” I call out louder. We were both kidnapped. I won’t forgive myself if anything happens to Emma, because it will be my mess that rubs off on her.“Emma!!”No answer.“Ashton! Dominic! Xylus!” I call the names of the warriors who will come to my rescue no matter what, if only they can hear me.Moon Goddess, help me.The big metal door shifts open. My eyes focus to see my abductors. T

CHAPTER 83Rosie's POVI choke on a sound that could be a scream from my dream. That's how I wake up from a long night of torture, for days now.My head hurts. I feel every puncture of the syringe in my body and the wolfsbane eating into my bloodstream.Survival? How am I going to survive this?There isn't even a way I can unbind myself to escape or run away. Movies make it look so easy, especially when the lead is female.I can't really tell how many days it's been now. But no one has come yet. No one has come to my rescue as I had thought.Crazy.If not the Lockwood brothers at all, Xylus should.He has to. Aurora isn't joking about killing me.Who knows what other stunt she will pull up to get her so-called Master's attention?Dearest Moon Goddess, I don't want to be part of this.Pain lances through me, hot, searing and spreading. The effect of the wolfsbane, any more and I will be dead.What did I do with my life in my teen years?Maybe, just maybe, Aurora might give me a chance

RosieA big ball of golden rays fades behind the pale sky as the sun sets, fragrance filling the air. My right hand is interlocked in Luna Sarah’s, the crunch of our feet against the now brown grass and our easy breaths filling the space.“I can’t believe I’ll miss this,” Luna Sarah hums beside me. From her side profile, she looks so ethereal, so peaceful and calm, even though she must be so full of dread. I tighten my grip on her and force back the sadness welling up in my chest.“It won’t be your last, at least till full winter comes along, so let’s enjoy it.” I manage a dry chuckle and she lets out a sigh.“I’ve probably said this more times than I need to, but that’s because it means a lot to me.” Luna Sarah flashes me a dazzling smile, placing both of my hands in between hers. “Thank you for committing the selfless act of accepting both of my sons despite all they’ve put you through and your differences.” Her eyes are misty, but she’s still smiling.A knot forms in my stomach as

Rosie's POV There's blood everywhere. It hasn't happened like this before. Blood dripping from the moon, I could see it clearly. My eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Claws tearing through flesh, ripping a chest open.Then, a shadow. I try to make out a face. But nothing. What is happening? What has happened already?A laugh. A wild laugh. I stand still to be sure of the face.I don't believe. Ashton? I awake with a heavy gasp. My heart beating like I’ve been strangled in my own sleep.The air in the room feels suffocating as the dream seems so real to me.What in the world was that dream? Weird, yes.Disturbing, more yes. My body trembles, each breath coming sharp, uneven, as if the nightmare followed me into waking.Dearest goddess."Rosie,” a voice calls softly.I whip my head to the side, eyes wide. It’s not Ashton. It’s Dominic.Shit.He's still here even after the hot session of last night with both him and his brother.He’s sitting on the edge of my bed, his brows cornered. T
