SUZIE'S POVMy head throbbed as a wave of consciousness hit me. I groaned, my eyes slipping open slowly. I blinked a couple of times, as I was disorientated by the sight before me.Asher, Blair, Roy and Felix, each of them surrounded me as I laid down on the bed. My memory was a bit foggy as I desperately tried to recall why, and how I was lying in bed, with the brothers, all around me.And then, it hit.I remembered Leah, and what she had done to me, how I had thought I would die in that storage room. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at each of the brothers. They all looked worried and rose up, closing in on me."What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Asher asked, his hands caressing my cheek."Did you all save m-me?" I croaked."Yes," Felix spoke up. "Leah revealed your location. I'm so glad we found you on time, you were barely breathing."Sadness, happiness and gratitude washed over me all at once. I could not believe they went out of their way to save me. Tears spilled down from my e
SUZIE'S POVThe resounding slap that landed on my cheek, did not register until I felt the burning pain. I held my cheeks, my eyes fixed on my father, who had his hand in the air."You fucking bitch," He growled.He swung his large and rough hands, landing a slap on my cheek again. I groaned, sinking to my feet. Tears pricked the corner of my eyes, but I refused to let my eyes water with tears.I glared at my father. "Why did you take me back here?!" I yelled between gritted teeth.My father scoffed. He grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled me up. I gasped, pain coursing through my scalp."You think you could be like your whore of a mother huh? You think you could leave me, by becoming a bitch for those Alphas right?""They're my mates!" I roared."Bullshit!" he scoffed. "I know you just wanted a good reason to leave. I'm sure they happily accepted you after you opened your legs up for them, you fucking slut!"My father clenched his hand, his fists connecting with my gut. I could fe
ASHER'S POV"Can you explain to me, why on earth you are placing us in custody?" I asked, as I tried my best to control the tone of my voice."How could you let that animal take her away!" Blair growled.I snapped my head to him. "Blair, can you just calm d-"Before I could speak further, Blair whipped passed me and grabbed a hold of the officer I was speaking to in one swift motion. He slammed him against the wall, his hands on his neck and I could see the life draining from the officer's eyes."Blair!" I yelled."Do not fucking tell me anything Asher! They brought that animal here and he took our mate! He dragged her away from us!"I rose up, running up to him. I placed a hand on his shoulder and I could feel the rage radiating off him. I could tell he was going crazy over the scene we had witnessed, I was too. But seeing as I was the oldest, I needed to control myself and keep my brothers in check."Blair, killing this officer will put us in further trouble. Let me ask him a few qu
ASHER'S POVI kept my eyes fixed on Suzie, as tears cascaded down her cheeks. Her tears, her words, I had no expected them at all. Her words but me deep, like a knife, cutting through my heart. I had hurt Suzie, terribly and I was clueless on how to make her feel better."Suz-""Pull over Asher," Suzie said again.I sighed. I knew Suzie was not the type to flare up and get angry for no reason. Her words held a certain meaning to them and I completely understood her she was feeling. She had been treated like a toy, a punching bag all her life, by her father.I knew she was scared that I and my brothers, would treat her the same way, like a you, and just discard her once we were done playing with her. But that was far from the case. I wanted Suzie to know how much she meant to us.It hurt me, deep to the core that my words had made her feel like she was just a prostitute, a toy to us, when she was more than that. I had to be more careful with my words, because Suzie had become very sens
SUZIE'S POVAsher parked the car the moment we were in front of the pack house, and before I stepped out of the car, I saw Roy, Blair and Felix run out of the house. They all stood at the front door, watching me intently as I slipped out of the car.I wiped the remnants of the tears that had plastered itself to my cheeks and I could see how their faces contoured with worry. They all snapped their eyes to Asher, who had come out of the car. They seemed to stare at each other for a few seconds, like they were silently communicating with each other.I ignored it however, and walked up to the front door."How are you?""Are you hurt?""What did that bastard do to you? I'll make him pat."I was bombarded with questions from each brother and I was not in the mood to respond. I did not want to think about any of it.I felt a hand on my waist and turned to see Asher standing beside me."Can you all give her some breathing space? I'm sure she's tired and needs to rest.""Oh yeah, you're right,
SUZIE'S POVI fiddled with the hem of my dress as I sat down, face to face with a woman, who looked like she was in her early thirties. She has a very slim figure, and her brown hair was in a bob, which covered her cheeks, giving her face a round structure.Her eyes were fixed on the desktop in front of her, but after a few minutes, she turned to me, her bright green orbs, smiling at me."You must be Suzie, it's so nice to meet you. I'm doctor Catherine, and I'll be your physiotherapist from today," She said with a smile as she extended her hand out to me.I eyed her warily before accepting her handshake. She kept smiling at me warmly, but it still did not remove the feeling of unease that had settled at the pit of my stomach."We scheduled a meeting with Dr Catherine here for you. She'll help you a lot," Asher spoke up.His voice make me jerk back a bit. I had forgotten they were all standing right behind me in this small office and I wanted it to stay that way. Now, I was feeling ev
SUZIE'S POVI turned the shower off, as the remnants of the warm water cascaded down my skin. I wrapped a towel around myself and made my way back into the room. I dried off and settled myself in front of the mirror.My eyes, which were both filled with eye bags, was void of it. My skin was looking plump and clearer than it has ever been. Ever since my visit to the physiotherapy, the brothers had been extra protective and careful with me.They had made me rest for days and I was not allowed to leave the room they had prepared for me, and I was also not allowed to do any work. It was quiet different from the life I knew, a life where I was beaten and worked to the bone like a slave.It felt nice to be able to relax like this.The cricket's chirped and my eyes followed the sound to the window, and I saw that the sky was pitch black. I rose up from the chair and settled myself down into the comfort of the large queen sized bed.I felt myself drifting off to sleep, when I heard my door cr
SUZIE'S POVThe soft hum of the engine roared beneath me as I sat at the back seat of Asher's car. Roy was seated beside me, and he would occasionally shoot me a glance. A small smile tipped at the corner of my lips as I remembered the words he had told me in class.I had an idea of the kind of rewards Roy was expecting from me, but I was still very curious as to what exactly he wanted. I wanted to hear it from him."So Suz," Asher spoke up, glancing at me through the rear view mirror. "I heard the drama class is gonna present something? You're in the drama class right?"I nodded. "Yeah, I'm in the drama class.""That means you're gonna perform right?" Blair beamed."I can't wait to see what you'll perform. What's your play going to be about?""Well-""It's a secret, we're doing it together," Roy cut me short, grinning.Blair shot him a glare, as well as Asher and Felix. "Whats that supposed to mean?" Felix grumbled."Isnt it quite obvious? He's trying to keep Suzie all to himself," B
SUZIE'S POVThe birds chirping outside the window, roused me up from my sleep. I moved around in the bed and noticed that there was no one beside me. My eyes fluttered open, and I pushed myself up on the bed as I rubbed my eyes.I looked around, my eyes scanning the empty bed as questions popped up in my head. I vividly remember falling asleep in my mates arms, but now, they were no where in sight.Where had they gone?I looked around, unsure of where they could've gone and why they were not in the bed when it was just a few minutes past 6am. I pushed myself up from the bed and as my feet touched the ground, the door burst open and my mates trouped in.Asher was grinning at me and beside him was Blair, who held a large tray in his hand. My eyes moved to Roy and Felix, who also has trays in their hand. I was puzzled and I raised my eyebrows at them."What is all of this?" I asked."We wanted to surprise the most beautiful woman in the world with some breakfast in bed. Pretty neat right
CARL'S POVI slipped through the window, my body hitting the floor. I breathed out a sigh of relief as I rose up from the floor, and dusted the dirt away from my shirt. I looked around the room, one more time to confirm if Elliot was here.Thankfully, he wasn't.I quickly peeled off everything item of clothing I had on, and slipped on a robe. I needed to act and look like I had never left the room before he came back. I quickly changed back to my original form, but the make up I had applied on my face was still there.I swiped some wipes off the table and sat in front of the vanity mirror. I had applied on some heavy make up, just in case someone managed to recognise me through the disguise. I wiped my forehead, and slowly went down to my eyebrows.I wiped of the mascara, and just as I was about to wipe off the red lipstick, I began to hear the locks on the door click. I froze, unable to move as I watched the door unlock. The door clicked, and swung open.My eyes went wide as they fel
SUZIE'S POV"Hey, how are you holding up?"I was suddenly jolted out of my mind, and it was only them I realised that I had still been staring at the burning pack house, only that now, it wasn't ablaze anymore. The remains, ashes, black debris was the only thing in sight.I turned back to see Felix, gazing at me with softness in his eyes. I shot him a wry smile, because even I was unable to tell if I was okay or not. Everything had happened so fast, and it was overwhelming. My mind kept replaying each scene, and I knew I would remember these events for a very long time.The carriage shook, and I turned to see Felix settling down beside me. He wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled closer to him, placing my head on his chest. He stroked my hair and the feeling put a sense of calmness over me."You don't have to say anything, I can tell how you're feeling. Everything that happened was really heavy and you are honestly very strong for pushing through."I chuckled. "The only reason I co
SUZIE'S POVThe boy I held in my hands, was not only covered in my blood, but his as well. I only noticed when I saw the large cut wound at his side. Blood was gushing out from the large wound, and the life in his eyes were slowly dimming out.My eyes went wide and I ran my hands across his face. "No, no, no, I can't let you die," I muttered through gritted teeth.I tried to push myself up from the ground, when I felt a sharp pain, just above my abdomen. The pain stopped me from moving, and my eyes travelled down to the spot. A large branch was stuck right in that spot, and blood filled the floor below it.I groaning, feeling the pain rising as I kept moving. I ignored the pain, and pushed myself up, until my back was resting on a large boulder. I held the bit close, his eyes blinking rapidly.His breathing was getting shallow by the minute, and soon, I could not see the rise and fall of his chest. My lips began to quiver, and so did my hands. I clutched him tightly, like he was my la
SUZIE'S POVI turned my head back slowly, and my eyes fell on the young boy. He had his first clenched to his sides and a mean scowl on his face. He had his gaze son Blair, who was still trying to recover. What had just happened? I assumed that Blair will deal with the boy easily, so what was going on?"Fuck, that bastard, how is he that strong? I underestimated him," Blair groaned as he rose to his feet.The boy began to breathe heavily, with his chest rising and falling rapidly. He eyes were growing redder by the minute, and so was his skin. He looked at me, and a chill ran down my spine."How dare you, how dare you, how dare all of you! How dare you interrupt me from serving my purpose in life!"He screamed again, and it resembled the shriek of that hideous monster. I placed my hands on my ears and winced as they began to ring. I watched, mortified as the boy's body began to change slowly.His skin grew as red as blood and two large horns emerged from his forehead. His eyes now hel
SUZIE'S POVI ran, as fast as my quivering legs could carry me. I was too scared to turn back, but I could hear the shrieks and screams of the monster, right behind me. I could hear the sound of it crawling through the boulder, and I knew it was a matter of time before it got its hands on me.My breath was laboured and I was gasping for air at this point. My legs were getting weak, but I had to push on. The images of my mate, and the sounds of their struggles replayed in my mind. My vision blurred with tears as I thought of their condition.I wished I could go back for them, but I could only pray that they weren't badly hurt.The screams of the entity rang through the air once again, the sound bouncing off against the wall, and making the whole cave shudder. Rocks and debris began to fall, hitting my skin, and nicking it.But I ignored the bruises and kept running.It didn't take long, like I had anticipated, before I could hear the sound of the monster heavy steps behind me. It was c
SUZIE'S POVI was in awe, and I didn't know how to act, or react to the tantrum Geraldine was exhibiting right in front of me. She kept shrieking like a mad person, again and, until the walls began to vibrate."What is she doing?" Asher asked.I turned to them, and they eyes were fixed on her, a fearful and confused look on their faces. I snapped my head back and suddenly, Geraldine passed. With her hands in the air and her eyes looking up to the roof, she stood still, unmoving.I watched, in amusement, as she slowly brought her hands back to her side and she looked at me. Her face and her whole demeanour was calmer that it was, a few seconds ago. She sighed and smiled at me while she shook her head."I knew it would come to this," she sighed, "I knew you would refuse my offer, and how i wish you had accepted. Now, I am forced to use my last resort."Last resort? All the hairs at the back of my neck stood up straight. I had a terrible feeling about her words, and I could not shake it
SUZIE'S POVMy eyes went so wide, I feared they would fall of, as I gazed at the people that trooped into the cave. They were children, elderly men and woman, and a few young men, but they all looked malnourished.Some of the were missing a limb, while some looked like they had a permanent brain disorder. Some could barely walk, and they limped, while some of them looked so skinny, their bones were protruding out of their skin.It was so bad, that I thought their bones would pop out, and tear through their skin. They all stood beside Geraldine, and they could not gaze into my eyes. They all looked downwards, and most of them did not have functioning eyes.I did not know whether to feel pity, or shock at the sight that was before me. And I couldn't even look at them, because of how deformed most of them looked. They didn't look human, and they had a creepy aura surrounding them.Geraldine's gaze switched to me, and she had a more firm and calm demeanour."As you can see, these are the
SUZIE'S POV"Please, forgive him, he was just a boy that went astray, do forgive him. He didn't know what he was doing," Geraldine said aa she clasped her hands together.I looked at the way her eyes were pleading with me. Hee whole demeanour looked like she was desperate. She was, but there was nothing I could do to help her. It also angered me that she wanted me to just forgive the dark king's transgressions so easily."You make it seem like the dark king, the things he did holds no weight, but it seems like you do not understand the height of the things he did. He sent our a deadly plague to my people. He killed families, children, women, men, he killed them without batting an eye lid. He tortured me countless of times and molested me when I was just a child!"My whole body began to quiver as I began to remember those bitter memories I had hidden at the back of my mind. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see Asher, comforting me. I placed my hand on his ansShot him a sma
