Author's POVIt's been a few months since they killed Carlos and Augustus has started training Valerina so she can use her powers to the full extent. She was doing well and he was proud of her.''Can we stop for the day?.. I am tired''She made puppy eyes. He chuckled. ''Okay, we'll do the rest in the evening.''He said and she whined knowing he won't stop.''Oh, I almost forgot that I have called your family to dinner tonight so no practice.''She grinned and he shook his head. ''Augustus''She called and he looked at her. ''I have invited your parents too''She gulped nervously. Augustus looked at her for a second and gave her a stiff nod making her smile. She knows that things are getting better between him and his family. Augustus has stopped blaming them and has made peace with his past. He still doesn't get involved with them too much but he doesn't ignore their presence either. Old wounds have started healing slowly and she was feeling happy for him.Valerina understood t
Valerina's POVIt'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
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.
