ADAIRA~“Is that okay for you or do you need more food? I know your body systems are faster than ours, but I don’t know how much of your metabolism was affected by the wolfsbane.” The female asked as she squatted outside the bars.She was closer to me than any of the males had dared to come. She had guts, or maybe she just had too much trust in the wolfsbane injection she had with her. She was also speaking to me like I was a friend, instead of the truth that I was just a potential lab specimen to her. If that was her way to gain my trust, then she was just as stupid as the males behind her.“Stop acting like you care about my well being.” I said to her as I shoved the meat down my throat.Thankfully, it was cooked. If they had brought raw meat to me to reiterate their point that they only saw me as an animal, I would have thrown a fit like the last time they gave me water in a dog bowl. It’s not like shifters didn’t eat raw meat, but most shifters, including me, usually only did so
ADAIRA~It was funny how time moved slowly especially when you need it to be faster. Seconds seem like long minutes and minutes seem like endless hours. I was sedated with my next meal ration when they came for me the next day, and then I was taken to a white room. White tiles, white walls, white ceiling, even the bed I was chained to with silver was white, I was dressed in a white gown, the chair was white. It was irritating to me because it was so unnatural to have everything so bland. I was injected with more wolfsbane while the female, who was also dressed in white from head to toe, started her experiments.She took so many samples of my blood, forced my mouth open to take saliva samples, even injected me with something to make me urinate so she could get a urine sample. It was all so humiliating, degrading and dehumanising, but I was too weak to resist her. At this point, I was sure that the only reason I stayed alive was because of whatever part of me has been hidden, the part
ADAIRA~She smiled smugly like she didn't believe I could have summoned my mate in just less than a minute when I was still weak. "This place is a fortress meant to keep out your kind. I've had time to experiment and make all kinds of weapons that work against you. If you truly called him, then he will die trying to save you. Even your whole pack would not be able to rescue you here, and I know they won't all leave to come save you to avoid being revealed to others." She said.She must have a whole arsenal if she truly believed that a pack of shifters wouldn't be able to break in here. But apparently, their informant failed to tell them how powerful Gavrael is. I didn't bother explaining to her."I have already told you to forget about escape or rescue. You are my prisoner and…" She stopped talking when Gavrael appeared beside me.Her eyes widened and she stumbled backwards."W.what…" She stuttered and even without my enhanced senses, I could still smell her fear.That was a sign of
ADAIRA~I was too tired to ask him questions, and I had so many. Like how did he just do that? I’ve never heard or seen of a shifter that could control one of the elements. According to history, only very few, very special sage wolves could manipulate the elements like he just did. Has he always been able to do this? Or did he retain some of his high level of powers after using them to bring me back from the other side? Later, when I can do more than lift a finger, I will ask every question I have.“And I will answer every one of them.” Gavrael replied to me.He spoke out loud but I replied through our mind link because I didn’t have the energy to speak.“Stay out of my head, Gavrael. I’m too weak to block you out, but for once, respect my privacy and stay out of my thoughts.” I said to him.“Privacy doesn’t really exist between mates, it’s the point of bonding our minds and souls together.” He replied.“I almost lost you, just let me have this.”“Suddenly, our mate bond and its purp
ADAIRA~“I thought I told you to stay out of my head?” I asked him with a sneer and he sighed.“I didn’t realise I was doing so. My apologies.” He said and I snorted.Didn’t realise, my ass. He knew what he was doing, I was sure of it. Did he really think he would deceive me with his Mr nice guy act? I won't fall for it again, he had worse mood swings than a female in heat.He stayed silent as I undressed and stepped into the shower stall. I sighed with relief as the cold water cascaded down my body from my head to my toe washing off the remnants of the past few days of captivity off my skin. The memories would not be so easy to wash away, but this was a start. I really need that bath, I need to immerse myself in water that was as hot as my skin could stand without peeling off. It was the only way to make me feel like I had cleansed myself.“The pack doctor is here.” Gavrael announced after a few minutes.I wanted to stay under the spray of water longer, but I knew he was right, I ne
GAVRAEL~“Thank you for delivering yourself to me. From what I’ve been told, the mate to the white wolf is the Alpha. I can’t wait to have you strapped down next to her. I finally have something to take me to the highest levels of prestige in the scientific world. Imagine all I could do with your DNA, my name will be in the history books. I will be able to replicate whatever makes you all so special and make an army of your kind from humans, give people powers at will. I will become a goddess on earth, nations all over the world will seek my work, and no one will ever call me weak again.”I watched the female talk while she pointed her weapon at me, I could smell the wolfsbane on it, and the distinct metallic smell of silver. She had the confidence to talk about her great plan because of that weapon, not knowing that her end was near. Immediately I got Adaira’s location, everyone involved with her capture had their death certificate officially signed.She didn’t even get the chance t
ADAIRA ~ “I’ve realised the error of my ways to an extent. Can’t you see I’m trying?” He said to me like he expected me to leap for joy with a smile on my face because of his words. After all he had done to me, was this supposed to make me feel better? Was I supposed to just forgive him just like that? “Funny how it took me almost dying for you to see the error of your ways as you call it. And apparently, even that isn’t enough because you still haven’t completely realised your errors.” I said to him. I won’t be fooled by his sudden show of empathy. He was just trying to manipulate me, I’m sure of it. It may be my wounded pride and broken trust in him speaking right now, but even if it was, I won’t give in to him this time. Despite his words on seeing his errors, I’m sure he still held on to his pride, his belief that there was nothing wrong with his actions, nothing wrong between us even if our mate bond was obviously just a sham. And if that was the case then his words meant not
GAVRAEL~“You can tell me whatever only after I’ve had a proper meal. I won’t be able to stand the sound of your voice for much longer without something to ease my disgust.” She said to me.It wasn’t just the words she spoke that hurt, it was the fact that she had actually meant them. I was beginning to feel a sliver of fear that she truly was done with me, that I had pushed her so far that she had gone past her breaking point, thereby pushing our relationship past the point of no return. She no longer trusted me, that much was clear, and without trust, the foundation of our bond was already gone. Though I had no one but myself to blame for it, I was the one who abused her trust. Knowing I am at fault didn’t make hearing her spiteful words easier though, even if I knew that I deserved all of it and more.Unlike before when she always said she hated me, yet I always felt that she didn’t mean it. Now, she was trying her best to push me away, to truly remove me from her heart. It was w
