Valerina's POV
It's cold, I trembled and tried to gather the bedsheet around me. At least I have a bedsheet now, I should be grateful.
Tears slipped from my eyes, why my life is so miserable.
I blinked my blurry eyes and looked out of the window, As usual I could only see one lamp. I don't know how this lamp stays continuously lit but it's there whenever I open my eyes.
I don't know if it's day or night, it's always dark.
Dark and Cold, Like him!
I don't want this, I don't want to live like this.
God! Please help me.
He is a monster, I sobbed but muffled my mouth with my hands. I don't want him to hear me and punish me for crying.
According to him, only he can make me cry.
He is darkness and my captor.
My heart skipped a bit when his smell filled the room. It's so strong that adrenaline rushed in my body. He is here, he came back.
I have to calm down otherwise he will hurt me. Just lay down like a dead body, Valerina. He will come and go.
I heard his footsteps and clutched on the bedsheet.
Don't scream! I bit on my lip until it started bleeding.
Shit! He can smell my blood. I want to cry out loud on my destiny. He will hurt me now.
I closed my eyes shut when he snatched the bedsheet away from me, I shivered under the coldness. Why is this place so cold?
I kept my eyes close because I can't look at him. I have already had an panic attack when I looked at him last time.
Bed creaked beneath his weight when he laid beside me.
His smell is so strong, strong but alluring. It always makes me want to hug him but I shouldn't.
May be that's what monsters do. They allure their prey.
I almost flinched when he touched my arm. Even his lightest touch is so strong that it can break my arm.
I am afraid what will happen if he could use his full strength on me.
My lips wobbled when I felt him touching my hair. My hair are long and I am sure he is playing with it. I can sense it. It's terrifying.
He turned me around and I gulped.
Don't open your eyes, Don't open your eyes!
My heart almost stopped beating when I felt his thumb on my lip which is bleeding.
"How many times do I need to tell you that, no one can make you bleed but me"
I flinched at his tone.
He knows that I am awake!
I am so dead. I sobbed when licked the blood off of my lip. His gentle licks turned furious within seconds. His lips are soft but they moves roughly against mine.
It's hurting, he will rip my lips off.
"P_Please!"
I cried and he stopped, I can't feel his breathing. He doesn't breath. It makes me stutter thinking what kind of creature he is.
"Why are you crying?"
He asked. His deep Voice is enough to make me tremble.
"It's h_hurting..."
I sobbed.
"Why were you crying before my presence?"
He questioned.
I know he knows everything, it's so hard to hide from him. I wonder how he finds out whatever I do when he is not present.
Should I really tell him what I need? Will he think about it?
I haven't asked anything from him since he has caged me except letting me go which he ignores.
Should I take the chance? He hurts me anyway.
"I want to go out..."
I said in weak voice, I don't want him to hurt me. But it's so long since I have seen or feel the sun.
"In the sun..."
"Open your eyes and say it!"
He demanded.
Oh God! Not that. Please, not that. I sobbed again.
I flinched at his growl and cried. I have to, I have no choice or else he will kill me.
I slowly opened my eyes, the room is dimly lit. It was dark, how can it has candles now. It was completely dark before his arrival.
I can only make out few things like potraits and his presence beside me.
I slowly looked at him and screamed.
His eyes are creamson red, sharp fangs are out like he is ready to rip a person.
Out of fear, I did which I shouldn't have. I tried to run out of the bed.
I shouldn't have done that because he grabbed my wrist to stop me but instead it broke my wrist.
Sharp pain shot through my hand making me scream in agony.
He pulled me back on the bed and grabbed my injured hand and it was too late to control my panic attack.
My breathing quickened and I struggled to breath.
I hate that I am so weak, that I can't fight back.
But what's the use, he is supernatural. I can't win against him. I am a mere human.
I screamed and cried in pain when he touched my broken bone.
"Look at me!"
He growled.
I can't, can't he see that I am having a panic attack.
Does he even have the heart? No! He doesn't.
He grabbed my chin and before he broke my jaw, I opened my eyes.
His red eyes are glaring at me. I tried to scoot away when his eyes glowed.
Oh god! What is he?
He pressed me down on the bed so I couldn't move.
My heart almost jumped out of my chest when he did something to me with his eyes.
It shot agonising pain throughout my arm. I don't know when my free hand clutched on his shoulder. He feels like a rock.
Why is he giving me so much pain?
What did I do wrong?
No matter how many times I ask, he never answers.
I screamed until I passed out due to pain and last thing I saw was his red glowing eyes.
Someone please save me...
Valerina's POVLife wasn't good back at home either, I doubt if I can call it even a home. I was a single daughter of a drug addict. But at least I used to see and feel the sun. I still remember the ugly night when I stepped out of my house and fell into his dark world or should I say dragged. That night turned my world completely dark. I was combing my hair, the only thing I love in my life is my hair. They are long and almost below my waist, I have a good height. But I also like my amber eyes, I have dusky skin tone. My friends used to tell me that I glow golden when sunrays fall on my skin. "Bitch!"I heard a curse. Comb fell from my hand realising that I am going to get beaten now. But I didn't do anything, why is he angry?I rushed downstairs before he comes up. I saw scattered glass bowl and wasted food. "F_Father?"He is not a father, he is a monster.He just looks for a chance to hurt me. "How many times have I told you that, I want my dinner hot and served when I
Valerina's POVI am not feeling any pain. I moved my hand and it feels normal like it wasn't broken. He always does this, first hurts me and then makes it disappear. The first time I opened my eyes in his darkness, I tried to run but there was no door. I cried, screamed but he wasn't bothered at all. I don't know how many times I have asked him his intentions but he doesn't answer. He just keeps me locked in the dark room. Tired of all this I tried to end my life but I don't know how he got to know and stopped me. He snatched the dagger from my hand and gave thousands of cuts on my hand. It didn't bleed, just gave me immense pain. I couldn't even breath. "The moment you entered my life, you lost the right on your life..."I cried when he gave me another cut. "These cries, tears and blood... I'll be the only one to give you all this."His voice was calm but promising. He wasn't bothered by my cries at all. I can't forget that pain, I don't know if I fainted because of pain or c
Valerina's POVIt feels good to feel sun after so long. It's a good reminder to me that outside world exists other than those four dark walls. I looked at my clothes, this is not the dress which I was wearing when he abducted me. And the terrifying thing is I don't remember changing my clothes. Is he touching me while I am asleep but I am not a heavy sleeper. I would definitely wake up if someone tries to change my clothes while I am asleep. I sat on the bench after walking around it for some time. I don't remember when I walked last time. I looked around and gasped when I caught glimpse of him in another room through the window. His back is facing me. This palace is curved shaped so I could see the window of another room. His back flexed like his shirt will be ripped at any moment. I gulped and looked away, My stomach churned thinking that I will be dragged back in that dark room again. Why can't he just tell me what he wants? Or just kill me and end this misery. I don't even
Valerina's POVWas it a bad decision to run? It's his forest, he knows every inch of it. Will I be able to make it to that door? I kept running until I was out of breath. I can't see anything here other than huge trees and black soil. There is no sign of life. I wonder if I am really running in the forest or it's just an illusion. Still I kept running and tree branch slapped on my arm telling me that it's reality. I am barefoot and my feet are bleeding but I can't feel the pain, all I want is escape. Sun is about to set. Sky is leaving it's colours faster than my running steps. If it turns dark then only God can save me. I cried in frustration when I couldn't keep up my space. I am loosing it. I looked at the sky and my heart sank. Sun is down and I nowhere. I don't even know if I on the right path. I looked around, tears are continuously flowing from my eyes. I didn't stop but loud cry escaped from my lips when I stumbled and fell on the ground. My toe started bleeding. "Some
Author's POVValerina was shaking like a leaf when he dragged her back to her cage. Her long hair were falling on his back like a waterfall. She has realised that there is no use of struggle. He can easily overpower her. How is she supposed to fight with the man who just killed six big wolves. She cried silently when he carried her to the room. She is still dangling on his shoulder. His hard muscles were poking her belly. She looked at him terrified when he placed her down under the shower. His eyes were glowing red, fangs were out and muscles were tensed like he is ready to drink her blood at any time. She looked at her legs where she was bleeding. She again looked at him and sobbed in terror. He looked at her blood and gulped, she always smells divine and it's almost impossible for him to control. Her cries were distracting him. He turned on the shower and let her blood disappear with the water. Her blood was smelling so good that it was painful for him to control. But he con
Valerina's POVShould I move? But it will wake him up. I looked out and sun is already up, I have never seen him sleeping beside me after sunrise. He usually leaves the bed before I am awake. He is not feeling cold like every day. He is warm and last night suddenly bed felt so good when he arrived. What is he doing? I laid there looking at the cupboard blankly, his hand is wrapped around my waist, locking me against his chest. I have no courage to move and wake him up. But it's hot, this place never felt so warm before. I could feel myself sweating around neck and arms. I slowly removed the bedsheets from my legs and upper body, letting the air overcome the heat. I looked down when something scratched against my belly and scream escaped my lips. He has claws, sharp like knife. These are same like those wolves which I saw yesterday but bigger and sharper. It's on my belly and he can literally tear me apart. He must have woken up by my scream. I felt his movements behind me.
Author's POVValerina was laying on the bed, her hair were sprawled on the bedsheets. She was staring blankly at the wall which has nothing interesting. She is loosing herself due to staying alone in her darm room. Due to Augustus's orders she can't go out of the room and there is nothing to do for her. Days went in blur since her last time when she has stepped out. Now her daily routine is sleep and wake up. Augustus sometimes comes in her room to sleep beside her but sometimes he doesn't and she feels even more lonely when he doesn't come. At least his presence beside her assures her that she is not living alone in this creepy place. She cried many times in front of him to tell her that what does he wants but he ignores her. Valerina has no idea what she will do even if he tells her everything, she is not ready for that truth either but at least it will give her some prediction of her future. She always think about her life back at home. It wasn't that happening but at least s
Author's POVAugustus was returning home when he saw Valerina falling down from the balcony. His dead heart came out of his chest when he saw what she is doing. He ran towards her direction with the speed which he has never used before. He defeated the speed of the wind.He gritted when he caught her mid air and saw her smiling. She was a few feet away from hitting the ground. Valerina looked at him with wide eyes when he carried her back to the room. Her heart broke, she doesn't want to live in that dark room again. She started crying when he entered the room and threw her on the bed roughly. She bounced on the bed and looked at him terrified. He was standing in front of her with red eyes, He was literally fuming. "Tell me you fell from the balcony..."He knows that she jumped but he doesn't want to accept it because even he don't know what he will do to her. Valerina looked at him with trembling body. He leaned down and she tried to crawl back but he grabbed her ankle and dr
