Chapter 3

Nella hurriedly leaves the room and I wish I could hold onto her, never letting go. The only thing I wanted as long as I stay in this place is to never cross paths with this monster. But I know that is so impossible.

With just two of us in this room, I immediately feel suffocated, like the room is on fire. Still standing in the doorway, staring at me with undisguised desire, I avert my gaze, making sure my body is properly covered.

“You don't have to cover up your body. You are mine. And you can't change that fact.” He says, locking the door behind him causing fear to build inside me.

“I saw the way you reacted to the feel of my lips on yours. And I know you want me” He moves towards me with every word he says and I find myself walking backwards away from him.

“What do you want from me?” I manage to find my voice but it is already laced with fear.

“What do I want?” He chuckles, tapping his index finger on his chin. He stops moving and looks at me again with the same lust in his eyes I had seen minutes ago.

“Oh Kaidara dear, you must be really naive to think I'll leave my mate all by herself tonight. I know I said I wouldn't rush the process, but you know, while I was in my room, I couldn't wait till another time.” He resumes walking towards me, with me walking backwards till my back makes contact with the wall.

“We don't need to wait till another night, right Kaidara?” He finally stops in front of me. My fear rises to its peak knowing I'm trapped. I know he senses my fear and I know it gives him more pleasure.

He chuckles darkly and that confirms my thoughts. Raising his hand, he trails his fingers on the side of my face and down to my neck. Each movement leaves a burning sensation on my skin and immediately I feel like running away. I wish to be anywhere but here.

His hand moves downward to my chest, bringing me back to reality. Pushing him, I ran towards the door. Remembering that he had locked it, I bang the door furiously. Maybe someone will save me. Valtor, now furious, walks towards me before pulling at me back to the bed.

Valtor grabs me by my hair and pulls me up. His grip now is firm. He throws me on the bed and I know what is coming next. Before I could think of an exit, he pounces right above me, with one hand pinning my hands above my head.

I try to shout for help but it's useless anyways. “How many times do I have to tell you that you are mine Kaidara? You are to please me, whether you want it or not.” He snarls and with one pull, he turns my nightwear to shreds, leaving me naked.

I struggle under his hold, which proves unyielding because he has overpowered me and my body betrays me because of the mate bond . More tears flow down my cheeks as I give up struggling with him. I am hopeless.

“Mine” he growls

My vision gets blurry and I can barely see. “Please don't do this, I beg…” ignoring my pleas he breaks through me and I feel a mix of pleasure and agony flow through me.

“Mine” he growls and his eyes bleed black before marking me. The triumphant smirk on his face is the last thing I see before I slip into a thick darkness

I have nothing left, lost my mother, lost my father's affection, lost my best friend Madison, lost Eva and now I have to spend my whole life being a shadow of myself. What else do I have to live for?

Once again I get lost in my world of thoughts. Memories of my childhood begin tormenting me. After losing my mother, my father was going crazy until he met Lyla. I was happy that he was given a second chance to live but that was the beginning of my suffering.

Not long after Lyla came into the picture, Eva and her daughter left the house. Lyla never liked me. I always did my best to gain her love but all my efforts were wasted.

She was always jealous whenever my father spent time with me. Whenever my father was away from home, I was treated lower than a slave. Lyla made me do more chores than I could handle as a child, and would punish me if I failed to finish my chores.

In no time, my father's attention reduced towards me. He was rarely seen in the house. I have always been alone in this world.
