Chapter 4 ~ Prisoned

CHAPTER 4

                         •••••Aurora's POV•••••

There was silence. No one moved, no one spoke, only thundering and lightning was heard. All of us stared at the car, waiting for what was to come.

Suddenly a humongous figure got out of the driver's seat. 

His eyes flickered over at us before he moved over to the door.

High ranking wolf, as well as other werewolf from the pack, stepped forward with their hands behind their back and their head bowed down slightly.

The driver was about to open the door, but the person inside the car beat him into it and shoved it open instead.

His broad shoulders filled out the black shiny cloak he was wearing. The hood of the cloak covered his head, protecting it from the heavy rain. 

Suddenly his aura of dominance filled the air making it harder to even breathe.

I felt my heartbeat quicken with fear of what was to come as I watched him.

He was tall, taller than all other werewolves. His Large fists clenched and unclenched as he turned his heaf towards everyone.

Unable to handle the pressure I bowed my head not wanting to meet his eyes.

Suddenly he turned towards the beta and gamma of the pack and they bowed their head further, murmuring their gratitude for being here.

" Where's your Alpha?" a cold voice asked.

"You....your Hig....highness he's visiting the human world for some business " the beta informed.

Suddenly the tension in the air increased and the temperature dropped by few degrees making me shiver in fear.

" Who's in charge here?" the same cold voice boomed visibly making everyone shiver in fear.

" Uhh... Lu...Luna Aurora. Alpha Stephen's mate, your highness" Beta replied pointing towards me and suddenly I could feel eyes on me making me want to hide somewhere far away.

 Your Highness? 

My eyes widen due to realization.

 Does that mean he's...

 Oh my god!

He's The Lycan King!

The most cruel person to ever exist.

Is he going to kill me???

Is that why they treated me nicely last night?

" Great, tell the Alpha that as his punishments for disobeying the royal order is that his mate will be imprisoned until he rectifies his mistake and if he doesn't agree to the royal order and peace truce then his mate will bear the consequences of his mistakes," the king said cold and I stood there stunned not knowing what to say and do.

The next thing I knew is that someone chained my both wrists and grabbed me from my forearm in a harsh grip and started to pull me towards a big black van, leaving all of the pack members utterly shocked.

 I was forced into the van before the man slams its door shut before making his to the other side and sat beside me.

Soon the journey started and I scooted as far away from him towards the window.

I don't have any idea of what I should do and it isn't like I can do anything or say because either way, I'm going to die so it's better if I stayed quiet and live as long as I can.

They all too powerful and could snap my head in a second without even thinking and there's not a single way in which I can defend myself.

So, I did the thing I'm best at.

I kept quiet and let my fate do its work.

 I looked towards the forest passing by through the window and remembered that this is the second time in a week that I'm chained and captured.

Tears clouded my visions when I remembered the time I was sold and captured by Alpha Stephen.

                           •••••(Flashback)•••••

                      •••••(A Week Before)•••••

Exhaustion rendered my body from walking quickly as I would have liked to instead I found it difficult to breathe and concentrate on how to take my next step.

The screech of owl mixed with the faint voices of people could hear from here.

The soles of my feet feeling numb. My worn-out sneakers slid against the wet muddy ground.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and slowly steadied myself against the cold wall.

I sighed before taking a deep breath and stood up with the help of a cold wall careful not to slip once again.

I increased my pace knowing the punishments I'll receive for being late. I can't stall any longer.

I felt raindrops being to fall from the sky landing on my face and hair, already soaking my clothes as I pushed myself harder to walk faster.

He is going to be even angrier when I arrived home looking like a dirty and drenched at.

I pushed the strands of hairs that were stuck on my wet face away from my face.

I didn't realise that I started crying until I tasted my salty tears mixed with raindrops on my cracked lips making them burn. 

I pushed myself to walk faster and started to run through the rain and didn't stop even after feeling the burning sensation on my bones.

My chest felt heavy and tight as I felt it difficult to breathe.

I could feel my heart beating hard and fast against my rib cage. I couldn't stop running knowing the wrath I'll face when I arrived late.

My footsteps automatically halted in front of the front door.

My chest and shoulders moving up and down rapidly as I gasped for the air.

My mouth felt dry even in the pouring rain as I felt my whole body ache.

With a shaking hand, I turned the copper door handle and it took a small flick of my wrist for the front door to swing wide.

I slowly made my way inside the house with wobbly legs.

" YOU'RE LATE" His cold and calm voice sounded loudly throughout the house.

I stood frozen my eyes wide as I knew that it was calm before the storm.

A look of horror washed through my face as my body began to shake in fear. 

I watched as he slowly stood up from where he had been sat down, the bottle of beer still in his hand.

It happened so fast that I nearly had the time to duck as he spun around and threw the beer bottle at where I have been standing a moment ago.

The bottle shattered against the wall behind me and the sound filled the room with my whimper in pain as I realized that the glass pieces have stuck on my back.

My body started to shake and tears started to fall as I heard his shoes hitting the wooden floor as he slowly made his way towards me.

I slowly looked towards him and saw the murderous look on his face.

I bowed my head again but suddenly a scream escaped my lips as the back of his hand connected with my cheek sending me to the floor in a heap...
