[Bonded.]
It had been six days since I had gone missing. I wondered how my family was doing? I wondered if Rob had even noticed or cared to. Three days ago, all I wanted was to go away from this unknown place and continue my life where I left it, but now? I don’t really know anymore. I see peace here, and so suddenly, these people had been treating me like a princess. I had asked severally, who he was, and why they held me here. Their answers were confusing.I stepped out of the bathtub. Kendra covered my body with the towel. “when can I go home?” I asked.“But this is your home.” She replied. I sighed. “You’ve told me that before, but this isn’t my home.” I said.We moved out of the bathroom. The soothing lotion, was applied on my skin. These people were filthy rich. On my bed were flowers, and notes. He gets me them every morning and evening but wouldn’t come to see me himself. I picked up a flower and sniffed it. It smelled nice.“It’s a silver rose. One of the best we have in the pack.” Kendra said. “Doesn’t it smell nice?” she asked.I couldn’t deny that it did. It was like nothing I have smelled before. “A bit. It’s good.” I said.She smiled, massaging the oil into my skin as gently as she could. “You are a lucky woman. We never thought that could be possible. He seems to love you so much already.” She said.I opened my closed eyes. “what?!” I asked“Before you came, he never cared about treating a woman right. He never cared about their feelings, but he sends you flowers everyday, morning and evening. I think you are taught him to believe in love, or at least, have faith in it.” Kendra said quite excitedly.“What are you talking about? Do you think I am happy I am here? I have a life outside this prison wall, wasting everyday the more time I am held hostage here. My father is probably worried sick right now. Why won’t he let me go?” I yelled at her.Kendra kept calm. She proceeded to apply the ointment on my hair and then comb it. “If the Alpha let’s you go, will you leave?” She asked.I wasted no time in answering a yes.“I’m afraid that might never happen. This is your home here with us. Your own kind.” She said.I stood up, walked to the end of the room, looking down at the city angrily.“The Alpha will not let you make the same mistake Mariana made years back. You are his, and you must accept it.” She said. I folded my hands tight. All this dumb stories were messing up my head. I didn’t know what was real here. There was nothing to believe, as it made no sense.“I care for you Bellamy.”“Oh yeah? You cared so much too that you ordered I be starved for three days without light. You are all crazy, especially that Ian guy.” I said. Kendra covered her mouth with both her hands. “What? Do you think I am scared of him? What else could he possibly do to me? I would say it to his face.”“Say what to my face?” he asked.His voice gave me a shock. My heart throbbed. He walked up to me and gave me a cold stare. “I believe you liked the flowers I brought today. I can smell it in your face. The silver rose. I personally picked that one myself.” He said, reaching his hand to my face. His fingers touched my skin. It felt warm and nice. I turned my face away.“Why are you keeping me here?” I asked looking at him in the eyes just as I was warned never to.“This is your home. This is your world, your kind.” He said.“You kidnapped me, took me away from my life, the only life I ever knew, and you say this, this is my home? You must be sick in the head.” I fired back.“I am sick in the head. A normal me wouldn’t have you raise your voice at him. Perhaps I should return to the normal me.” Ian said, and then raised his face giving a striking warning to me. Kendra crossed her lips with a finger, telling me to keep quiet.I raised my face to his, “What would the normal you do?” I asked without showing any fear.“what home, what life are you talking about? You ran away from that life, and you will always run away, because it is not your home, not your world, and definitely not your life. You came here yourself because this is where you belong. A girl at your age, crying in the woods at the middle of the night. Who hurt you, who hurt what’s mine?” Ian asked reaching his fingers to my face. “That is non of your business. You don’t control my personal life, and, I am not yours.” I said“You are mistaken. I did not kidnap you. You returned on your own. If I hadn’t found you, you’d be dead by now. I saved your life. What do you think happens when you hit your head on a sharp tree stump, and bleed out in the middle of the woods, with no medical aids or help? You bleed to death. You are only alive because I put my life-force bead in you.” He said.Kendra nodded confirming Ian’s story to be true. I touched the back of my head. I felt no pain, neither was there any form of injury. “Is this another shit story? How do you even come up with all of this?”“I am many things but a liar.” He said. “But if you want, I can take it out of you, and watch you bleed to death right here, in front of me. It is your choice.” Ian said. I could detect no lies in those dazzling strange eyes.“Let’s do that. I just want to get away from you and this godforsaken place.” I said, shrugging off every belief that he might be saying the truth. After all, it’s absurd.“Very well.” He said. He took steps closer until the warmth of his breath could be felt on my face. “What are you doing?” I asked, uncomfortably, trying to move backwards, but behind me was a wall of glass.“Taking what’s mine.” He answered. His grip on me was stronger than any I’ve ever felt. “Stop, don’t.” I said as he reached his lips to mine. With my eyes closed tight, I felt his soft moist lips on mine. His lips tasted sweet. I was first consumed by the feeling of this touch. I felt free and at peace. It was easily one of the best kiss of my life, and I shamelessly didn’t want it to end. Ever. But it did. This feeling died. My body burnt, heated up that I could feel my blood boil through my veins. It felt like my soul was being drained away from me. I tried pushing Ian away with every strength I could gather, but he held me still. My hot body became cold at once. I fell to the floor, the soul piercing cold made me moan. I wasn’t sure what he had done to me, but there was no time to think. Kendra cried as she watched me struggle for my life on the floor.“Please…” I muttered. That was the last thing I remembered. I thought I was dead.***I woke up scared, breathing as hard as never before. The drops of sweat rolled down my nose and skin. “It’s OK, you are OK.” Kendra said.“What happened?” I asked.“I took my bead out of you just as you asked. It seems you still need it after all.” The Alpha said. His voice almost put me in another coma. I threw the pillow at him. “You monster. You could have killed me.” I said crying.“I didn’t mean for that to happen. You forced me to, remember?”My face was cleaned.I wanted to keep you here against your will with the use of force, but I have changed my mind. For now, you need my bead to stay alive, so you must stay close to me. In a hundred days time, you should be fully recovered. If by then you still want to leave, I will let you.” Ian said.A fair deal to me. “What now?” I asked.“Now? You are bound to me. You have my bead living inside of you. You are a part of me just as much as I am a part of you. You are my mate.”Tbc…Chapter 5Feelings stronger than willPart one [ The dance.]Kendra combed my hair in front of the big mirror. It felt good. The door opened. Ian had ordered that I’d be brought a silver rose again. I took it from the messenger. It smells even better today. “Tell him, it smells awful and that I’d really appreciate it if he stopped sending me this everyday.” I said. Caleb bowed his head and left. Kendra laughed. “The Alpha really loves you. I am so jealous.” She said. I sighed. “Great! I’m the luckiest woman on earth.”“You are. If you accept and believe it.” She said. Luck! That was something I had on my side now. That I could say. For the first time in almost two decades, I could actually look upon the sunrise and feel the warmth on my skin. I felt like a super hero. I drew in as much air as my lungs could take, and exhaled. “That’s the feeling.” I exclaimed. Kendra brushed my hair slowly. I could imagine her face smiling behind me. Knowing her now, I realized that was a hell o
Chapter 6[Underneath my dress]Ian stared into my eyes. He was a bit drunk. We both were. As I looked into those beautiful dazzling eyes once more, I was consumed by the most dominant thought in my mind. The world has countless sexy men, but Ian was more than just one of the sexiest beings I had ever set my eyes on. His eyes were mesmerizing and they caught me in a scope. I should let it out and kiss him already. The thought of his lips pressing on mine got me partially aroused. No, I shouldn’t. I still loved Rob. So I told myself even if I wasn’t sure if that were true anymore. My heart stood to oppose this. As I watched him take another sip from the bottle of cheap beer, I gulped at the sight of his lips pulling away from the bottle. How I wished I was the bottle at this moment, I wouldn’t let go of those sweet lips. I couldn’t just watch and fantasize in my head anymore. I took the bottle from Ian and pushed him on the chair, pretty much forcing myself on him while I reached my
Chapter 7[What I felt]“Hey,” Kendra said, jumping on me from the back. “Hey, good morning…” I said.She laughed, as if I was amusing her. “what?” I asked. “What are you laughing at?” I tried to open the door but it didn’t open.“Were you just trying to sneak out of the Alpha’s bedroom, hoping to be unnoticed by anyone, especially me? Oh my god!” she said and returned to her laughing. “Why is the door stuck? It won’t open. Stupid door!” “Its looked. I locked it last night after I found out you would be spending the night with the Alpha in his bedroom.” She said. Emphasizing on the ‘bedroom’“oh, great! You know, that’s wonderful, so can we please open the door now? I don’t want anyone seeing me looking like this?” I said.“Good morning Bella, how was the night?” Caleb greeted smiling like I had never seen him do before. “Good morning.” I returned the greeting, while I ignored the question. I turned to Kendra. “Hmm.. that was weird. Did… did you see the way he smiled? Why is
Chapter 8[Let go memories]It’s been 24 days since I have been here, away from my friends and family. Today, I remember sweet little Evie. I wonder how she’s doing at the moment. Her cancer was at a critical stage already. Her chances of survival were below five percent. I wanted to be there with her, to be there for her. She was all her father got left.Caleb walked in to announce the Alpha was would be coming to see me in a few minutes. I got out of bed with my rough hair and pale looking face. Ian came in. He noticed my saddened facial expression almost immediately he stepped inside. He seized his eyes and raised his eyebrows like he always does. “Hey, good morning… Alpha.” I greeted. He cleared his throat to speak with an Alpha’s voice. “You don’t look like yourself today, is there a problem?” he asked.I sighed, and nodded. “I don’t know. I can’t help it from within… here.” I said. “not that I could have helped it in anyway. It’s just not fair.” “The world is not fair, nei
Chapter 9[Tale of Ville and the Cabin]I stared outside the beautiful roads excitedly. It was a sight to behold. I loved the trees alongside it. So different from the cities in the State. It had been a while since I saw outside the Alphas castle. I looked back at the pack which we had just left. Ian rested his head by the window with his eyes clothes. His face was comparable to that a sweet cute looking toddler, so innocent and lovely. “Where are we… going?” I askedSnape, the driver looked at me through the mirror. “Oh, didn’t the Alpha tell you? We are going to Ville culture.” He said.“Ville culture? What’s that?” I asked eagerly as the name was a strong catch.“Ville culture. It is a tradition we must do here every here. You see, at ancient times, all packs were one. Everyone was together, until we weren’t. But at the time we were together as one pack, the Alpha and everyone came together to make a garden at the center of the pack. It has all the beautiful flowers and great
Chapter 10 [Touch me o Alpha]It is 21st December, many years ago. I am five years old. Little Jared picks up a box of wrapped early Christmas present. He is so happy, as he smiles running to dad with the box in his hand. Father picked him up and he laughed. It is a happy family for real. He unboxed the present. It was a spray gun. The neighbors must have brought that one in. I picked up one too, and I unwrapped it. It is a tiny guitar without any string at all. I smiled just like my little brother. Dad carried me too. He was strong and muscular, because, at the time, he was hitting the gym every weekend.“Dad?” “What is it sweetie?” Dad asked. He put some cereal in his mouth and chewed it like he does, like a clown. I always find that funny. I laughed. “Come on, what is it?” he asked again, chewing even worst than he did the first time, making me laugh harder and louder.The door bell rang. Dad put us down and went to get it. It was more present. He had ordered for them earlie
Chapter 11[Let me know love]I got off the train. It was 11 : 26pm when I looked at the time on my phone. I stood in one place, marveled at the beautiful view the city and its sky had. Japan was just as I thought, a beautiful world of its own. The buildings, designs, restaurants, and lightings were views to be grateful for, and I loved all of it, but in all, I loved the moon more. It was different, and I should say more spiritual and relatable. It was like it knew I was there, like it had something it wanted to show me, or tell me. I sat at a free roundabout and gazed at its blue face with all my attention. I wished he was here with me right now. I wished he gave me his shoulders to lean on, that we were together. He isn’t Robinson. He was out there, I believed it for a while. At a time, I even thought I saw him. I had a strong imagination. I took a lot of photos this day, and finally, I took one more. It was me alone in the streets. It was me with the moon.*** Ian said not to c
Chapter 12[A night after]Feeding routine is different here. Here, breakfast is lunch, and dinner is dinner. We eat only twice a day no matter how long, stressful or awfully boring the day was. We visit the Graves of all Alphas that have ever been, every morning and in the evening during the moonlights. Tradition forbids anyone from eating anything before this morning respect is paid. Not even as small as a shrimp. We repeat the same morning tribute until the sun is almost directly under the meridian everyday. Quite exhausting for a one time thing, but we had to do it everyday. I would complain, but I had no right to. Not to the packs council, or the Alpha, or even myself. We were also not to have any form of sexual intercourse until after this morning. Not even cuddling or kissing, but Ian and I turned our back on that rule as we had crazy long and short sex every morning and I didn’t pay tribute to the dead with cum on my body just once. This week was one of the best I have had i
