Assaulted

Apphia

My eyes flutter open, and I feel the weight of someone on top of me. Sheer terror runs through me. I can't breathe properly. I fight to no avail. He's so much stronger than me.

"Don't be a tease," he pants as he thrusts into me. A sob escapes my lips. "You're so dramatic, Apphia. I know you like it,"

"Stop it, please!" I cry. 

 I hit Rory's chest, hoping he'd get him me, but he pins my hands over my head as he continues his assault mercilessly. 

"Help me!" I scream at the top of my lungs. He attempts to cover my mouth but fails. He smacks me, and I feel my lip split. I can taste blood in my mouth. 

"Why don't you just stay still!" he hisses, choking me. I feel like passing out again. I see a rock through my peripheral blurred vision and grab it. I hit him with a large rock against his temple several times.

"Ahh," he screams, rolling off me. I use this change to stagger to my feet. 

There's a painful sensation between my legs because of his forced entry, and there is sticky liquid down my legs. I face my tormentor and see him taken back by what he sees in my gaze. 

An inferno of rage is blazing in me. My hand tightens around the rock as something solid and uncontrollable grows in me. I can't explain it adequately, but its power frightens me.

"Y- your eyes," Rory's face is stricken with unimaginable fear. "I'll leave you alone. Just let me go,"

 He cries, cradling his head with his hands as though it were in terrible pain.

"Stop it, please," he begs, anguished, tears spilling from his eyes. However, I only felt hatred for him from the depth of my being. I'm quivering like a volcano about to explode.

Rory falls to his knees, convulsing violently. He grasps his throat as guttural gasps leave his mouth while writhing in excruciating pain. Agony etches on his face as blood trickles from the corner of his lips. His face is changing color to a pale blue. 

He wails loudly and stops shaking. His eyes still rolled back with visible dark veins in them. 

I feel the bile rise in my stomach at the disgusting sight; I feel nothing but pure hatred for Rory, but seeing him like this is horrifying and shocking.

"He's dead," I whisper, shocked to see what took place. I cover my mouth with my trembling hand. How did that happen? Part of me knows I'm responsible for it. 

I feel a sharp pain from my scar, and blurry footsteps appear in my head. Amir's men are after me. I turn, ready to leave, but come face to face with my brother. I freeze. Duncan's gaze falls on Rory's lifeless body and then travels over me. 

"Oh, goddess, Apphia. He hurt you," Duncan whispers, approaching me. I take a step back and raise my hand to him. He stops. 

"stop," I don't recognize my voice. There are so many emotions on my brother's face. He is unable to utter a word. I can hear the pounding of his heart. He runs a hand through his hair and glances back at his dead pack member. Rory is dead in the most brutal and unexplainable way. 

"Amir is determined to get you and sent his men after you, Apphia," 

My head is spinning with questions. Why is Amir so resolved to get me? 

"I tried to stop Dad from doing it, I did... I swear. However, his command outweighs mine for now. "My brother's shining eyes have never been so guilty. Tears threaten to spill out of his eyes. It is the first I've seen him like this, so helpless.

"You need to leave this pack for now. I'll take over soon; when I do, no one will hurt you again. I promise you," Duncan's voice is irregular, and a stray tear hits his cheek. I'm shocked. I'd only seen him cry once in my life when our mother died.

 I stand there, stunned. Duncan is letting me leave the pack. He removed his wallet from his pocket and handed me large bills. Hundreds and hundreds. I don't take it, though. I don't want anything to do with him. He watched me get tortured for ten years. Why is he pretending to care now?

I glance at my brother one last time and turn on my heel. 

Nicholas' pov

" Did you hear that?" I ask Blade. He looks bemused and shakes his head slowly. I thought I heard a woman cry a few minutes ago, but It's gone. Did I imagine it? 

" Nicholas, are you alright? You look pale," Blade says, sounding concerned. I exhale, noting that the pain in my chest is dying down. 

" Let's go inside. It's begun to rain, and I need a drink," I murmur and enter the house. 

Exiting the foyer, we enter the great room where my parents are. I frown as I see them waltzing. They glimpse us but don't stop their dance. 

My father sweeps my mother off her feet and twirls her against his chest so they are closer as the music comes to a stop. The two kiss deeply, completely ignoring our presence. Goddess, get a room. 

" S- should we leave? I feel like we're intruding," whispers Blade, blushing a little. I should be embarrassed by my parents making out hard, but I'm desensitized to it now. I roll my eyes and clear my throat—the two lovers part slightly but grin at each other. 

" Good evening, Son, Blade," Mom, greets.

" How was the party?" My father asks. 

" Dreadful. Please tell the alphas to stop parading their daughters my way. I won't claim any of them," 

" They never listen," he shrugs apologetically. He knows I only want my fated mate to be my Luna and Queen. My parents have been supportive of that since they are fated mates themselves. 

I bid my parents good night and head to my suite. I have a whole wing to myself. 

" Why are you following me?" I ask Blade. 

" Your bar has the best whiskey. I especially enjoy the Macallan M," he says. I shake my head and open the door. Blade goes straight to the bar to get drinks while I go to the balcony. I especially enjoy the view here. 

Blade is back with the drinks. He hands me a glass and briefs me about the latest building project—a new neighborhood on the east upper side of the Sapphire royal pack. Our pack was growing and thriving. 

' Help us, please,' I stiffen. It's the haunting voice I heard earlier. ' Help,' a chill goes down my spine. My lycan is on four walls; he's in a state of panic. 

' She's here. Our mate is here,' he says coherently finally.

  • My Marked Luna   Mate

    ApphiaI'm running as fast as I can. I don't know where I'm going, but I keep running for my life, tears rolling down my cheeks. I hear their thundering paws and footsteps behind me, their growls and snarls of excitement piercing through the forest as they enjoy the chase. I run faster. I hear a clap of thunder roll through the dark sky, and lightning strikes the ground. I lose my footing and fall to the dirt, landing on my knees and hands, but I get up instantly, dragging my legs and running again. Slowly, raindrops fall on me, and I get soaked. I'm so cold. I'm shivering uncontrollably. But the harsh cold and rain are unimportant right now. I need to get further from the men hunting me down. I can see the light not far from me. I'm thankful for the rain because it covers my scent and makes it hard for them to find me. My lungs burn with exhaustion, and my legs can't carry me anymore. I'm panting for breath. I need to hide, but there is nowhere to hide. I begin to slow d

    Nicholas The wait is killing me, and my heart is cold. We wait while my mate is in the surgery room. My parents are talking to Blade, whispering while they send worried glances at me. A few hours later, the door opens, and the doctor walks out. Everyone jumps to their feet. " Doctor! Is she going to be alright?" my mom asks. The doctor gives her a pitiful smile. My heart drops to the floor. It isn't going to be good news. Doctor White glances at my youngest siblings. " Can you grab something to drink at the cafeteria?" she says. She doesn't want them to hear what she has to tell us. A shiver goes down my spine. They scowl and hesitate, but one glare from my mother, and they leave. " Prince Knox, please go with them," Dr White says to my seventeen-year-old brother. " I'm not a child," " Knox, please," Dad says sternly. He grumbles something unintelligent and leaves. Blade's pov I stumble to my feet when Prince Nicholas stood up, panicking. " What's going on?" H

  • My Marked Luna   Angry

    NicholasWhat the doctor said hits me like a hammer. The words sexually assaulted replay in my head. I disappear down towards the sidewalk towards the exit. My legs finally give up as I exit the general hospital and sit on a bench. The rain is slowly coming to a stop, but it's enough to get me soaked. As the doctor's words ring repeatedly, I put my hands on my head. I think about the state I found her in. What could have happened had she not been able to use our mate bond to mind-link me? My lycan is growling and is sad all at once. However, we are both angry, and my body is shaking. I want to rip something apart. Blade sits next to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. " Nick, the Luna will be alright," he says softly. " What if she didn't reach me via mind link? What could have happened to her?"" But she did reach you, and you saved her. No need to dwell on the what-ifs and why," Blade says, " Anyway, I know something that will make you feel slightly better, follow me," I glance at

    Gavin " Fuck, that feels good," I grab a fistful of her hair. Calla moans as she sucks my dick. At least she's fucking good at something. Her tongue twirled and played around my dick, making me growl in pleasure. I move my hips faster, and she follows my speed. I grab the back of her head, shoving her head down, making her go faster. "Yes, suck my dick faster," I move my hips into her, my dick going deeper into her throat. My body starts to shake as I cum undone. I spill my liquid into her throat, and she sucks me dry. I exhale, sinking into my office chair. Calla gets up, giggling and straddling me. " Did you like that, baby?" she asks. I nod, running a hand through my hair. " I did too, I enjoy pleasuring you, Gavi, imagine if-" " Don't speak, please," I've told her multiple times to shut her dumb mouth. " You've been so sullen and rude towards me lately," she murmurs. I growl and push her off me, " There you go again, speaking when I told you not to!" Cal

    Nicholas " You've always been closed off, and I accepted it, but this is too much even from you," I ignore my mother's voice as I focus on my exercise. She keeps walking back and forth as I change my routine. "You are hardly sleeping or eating. It's unhealthy, we should have dinner tonight," "I'm fine, Mom," I growl, annoyed at her. " It's been a week since your mate has been in a coma. You don't talk about her to anyone. How do you feel?" she asks. My family has been on my case since I found my mate at the border, beaten. They are worried about my well-being since I've been more closed off than usual. "I hate that you bottle things inside, Nick. You won't explode if you vent or communicate your emotions out loud," I exhale and drop the dumbells, and face my dear mother. " I feel like fucking shit! It's been a week, and we haven't found who did that to her. They hurt her... So badly. I hate myself that I couldn't be there, that she had to suffer while I didn't.

  • My Marked Luna   He's Breathtaking...

    ApphiaIt's serene. Very quiet. I love the quiet. I slowly open my eyes. The first thing I see is a high, bland ceiling. I scan the room with my eyes, turning my head. I'm surrounded by medical equipment. It's a hospital room—except it looks like a fancy five room and it's airy. The furniture is fancy, all white. There are three people in the room. A young woman and a man chat buoyantly on a sofa on the left while a younger man, a teenager, occupies the other. He's furiously pressing on his mobile phone. "Our sleeping princess is awake!" The girl on the sofa gets up and comes to me with a perfect smile on her rosy lips. She is tall, gorgeous, curvaceous, and has flawless bronze skin. Long braids complement her soft facial features and clear sky-blue eyes. She wears a short blue dress and high-heeled shoes. She stares at me in awe, the look I get when people see my eyes. However, her look doesn't turn to disdain. She seems mesmerized by my eyes. "How do you feel, sw

  • My Marked Luna   The First Princess

    ApphiaAfter Nicholas and Blade leave, I stare at Lily. She has an amused look on her face. I squint my eyes; it's like she's reading me. I heard the royal family has unique gifts—they all do. What gift does the first princess have? " Telepath," she answers. She elegantly gets up from her seat and walks over to me. " I can read thoughts, put thoughts and images in people's heads, too," she explains; I'm stunned and unable to say a word. " However, I can't read yours, Apphia, and I have tried. It is the first time I've been unable to read someone's thoughts. How are you doing it?" " But you answered my question before I could ask," I murmur. " I just guessed you were thinking it because you realized we were royalty when Nicholas was on the phone," I bite my lips in thought. How come Lily can't read my thoughts? Not that I'm displeased about that. " Are... There people whose thoughts you can't read?" I ask slowly. "There are a few strong alphas who guard their minds,

  • My Marked Luna   Sad And Depressed

    ApphiaIt's late at night, and I'm in bed, wearing cream silk pajamas. I've never worn such pyjamas before, they feel so soft and wonderful on my skin. I close my eyes to sleep. 'I can't be with you. I'm the future beta of this pack, and if I accepted you, which I couldn't even in the next life, I'd lose my status. And besides, you're not my type,' a memory comes back to me. I'm crying as Gavin says that to me. He's rejecting me! 'I reject you,' that is my voice. I'm standing there, helpless, as I watch the scent of my rejection play in front of me. Gavin Jr was my mate! Tears run down my face. The scenes change, and I'm with Duncan, hugging him, and then I'm dragged away to my father's office. He wants me to go to Amir's pack. I leave the room and find Gavin kissing Calla; there is an altercation between me and that bitch, I run, and Rory follows me to the lake, where he assaults me. Duncan finds me after I've killed Rory; he's telling me to leave and come back when it's safe.

    ApphiaI wake up feeling energized even after rounds and rounds of sex with Nicholas the previous night. I kiss his jaw and get out of bed, leaving him sleeping. I go to the closet to pack a bag as we will be going to the eastern district to visit the fire victims. After packing, I shower and get ready in blue jeans, a white V-top, a plaid blazer, and loafers. I go to the bedroom just as Nicholas is waking up. I smile at him, " Good morning, handsome mate," " Good morning, my lovely mate," he yawns and clambers out the bed. He's naked. All muscle and his cock just hanging out. I feel heat in my cheek and quickly point to the ensuite bathroom. " Go get ready. I want to be there before 10," I tell him. He chuckles and wraps his arms around me. " Seeing you blush is always so satisfying," " B—because you have your thing hanging out," I murmur, feeling shy. I'm used to seeing him like that but can't help my blush and embarrassment. He knows this and teases me about it." 'Thing'?" "

    Brooklyn. My fake plan to kill myself didn't work. I thought that when the alpha heard about my attempted suicide, he would feel guilty and allow me in his life, but it didn't happen like that. After sweet-talking Prince Leon, he told me that Atti, Apphia, or whatever her stupid name is, is from the Ivory Moon pack. I have a friend in that pack, Calla. I decide to give her a call to ask. After the second ring, she answers. " Hi, Brook, long time. How are you?" " Not good, girl," " Hmm, what is it?" " Some unworthy bitch from your pack stole my boyfriend, and I've been pissed," I tell her. She gasps; I can picture the satisfied smirk on her face. Fake ass bitch. " Who?" she asks. " A riff-raff called Atti or Apphia. White-haired girl, Do you know her?" I ask. Calla goes silent for a long time but doesn't hang up. " peculiar silver scar and horrendous, cursed eyes," " That's her," I growl." What?! That freak is in your pack and stole your boyfriend; you've got to be kidding m

    Apphia "You look beat," Drake says. "Don't even get me started," I sigh, closing my eyes. "You know we are near the alpha's headquarters. I can take you there if you want," he suggests. "Please," We arrive at the Sapphire Corporation building, which is impressively twenty—five stories high. I walk into an enormous, white glass lobby with Drake. We go straight to the elevator without stopping by the reception desk, as Drake has a security pass. The elevator takes us to the twenty-fifth floor in another lobby—as impressive as the first. The woman behind the reception rises to greet us. " Hello," she flashes us a smile. The receptionist recognizes Drake and flushes. We ask to see the alpha, and she tells us he's in a meeting. "Please sit there," she points to the brown leather couch. We take our seats. Behind us is a glass wall, giving us a view of Sapphire's impressive skyline. The view is spectacular."Would you like a drink?" the receptionist asks. " Water," I say. "Me too,"

  • My Marked Luna   Meeting

    NicholasMy mate is still sleeping. It has now been 24 hours since she slept. Her breathing is slow and steady. Her cat is sleeping next to her. I go to my study to answer some emails and work. I get an email from Blade. The Ivory Moon pack was attacked again. There were no casualties, but the rogues and vampires worked together to attack them this time. Since when have vampires and rogues worked together? The door opens, and my father walks in—just the man I wanted to see. "Dad, I'm glad you're here. I want you to read this," I say, turning the laptop to his side. When he's done reading, he slouches back into his chair. "What could this be, and why that pack?" I ask. The ivory moon was closer to the city's borders, but there were others too. If anything, they shouldn't be targeted because they are larger and stronger than the others. Often, rogues would attack more miniature packs.They must be looking for something in the pack," he thinks. I thought so, too. "Could it be they a

    NicholasEveryone is in awe of my mate's wolf. They are showering her with praise and appreciating Ziora."She's so gorgeous," Emily cries, reaching her hand to touch her. I swat it away childishly. She scowls, glaring at me, but proceeds. I caress her sleek fur, and our eyes meet. " You're perfect__ so beautiful," I tell her, kissing and inhaling her scent, which is still wildflowers but mixed with lavender now. My lycan, Nico, is going wild. He howls in rapture at the sight of his counterpart. Ziora looks to the moon and releases a melodious howl that is so powerful—that everyone follows. My family and friends erupt in cheers. 'I want to run. Ziora wants to run,' she mind-links me. They sound eager. I take off my clothes and change into Nico. I'm instantly pulled to the back of my mind so that Nico is in charge. It's the first time Ziora and Apphia have seen us. She's gaping at us__ at Nico. 'You're magnificent,' she mind links. ' And you're divine... Pretty, very pretty," Ni

  • My Marked Luna   Shifting

    Apphia The pain I feel is excruciating. My body feels like it's on fire. Thankfully, it only lasts a few minutes before it subsides. For a moment, I thought my bones were breaking at once. I'm sitting at the edge of the mattress, Nicholas on his knees, his hand caressing my cheek. "I feel better," I rasp. My throat is dry and hot, "May I have some water?" Nicholas observes me momentarily and then gets me a glass of water. I gulp it all. "What happened? My body and bones were in pain," "The full moon is tomorrow, and your wolf is preparing for her first shift, so until then, you'll experience subtle pain," he frowns. "I've never heard of that," "I have, but it's rare. Others start shifting hours before the full moon," I cringe at his words. Shifting is painful, and I can't imagine enduring it even before the moon is at its peak. "How do you feel about your first shift?" he asks. "Nervous. I heard it hurts," he sits beside me, and I lay my head on his upper arm. "

    Apphia The meeting lasted five hours. Two staff members from my team and three reporters who had gone to the scene joined us. We discussed strategy, budget, and funding. " Joe, email the CFO to ask for financial help. Also, send over the budget to them," I tell him and stand up. " Send me the email before submitting it. I'd like to go through it," " Yes, ma'am," he nods determinely. They all bow their heads as I exit the office even though I have told them not to often. I enter my office no sooner than my phone beeps with a message. It is from Vicky. We are supposed to have dinner this evening. She had been texting me for a week, but I blew her off because I was busy. Victoria Altamirano: It's 5. 10. I'm in the lobby, waiting for you. I thought I would come myself, or you would have found an excuse to cancel. I sigh and check the time. I grab my phone to text Nicholas. Apphia: I'm going out for dinner with Vicky. Missing you.

The CFO directly assists the chief operation officer on all matters relating to budget management, cost-benefit analysis, forecasting needs, and securing new funding. Maximus: Avril James hates you for taking the Alpha prince from her daughter and hence blames you for her daughter's attempted suicide. It is news to me. Brooklyn attempted to end her life. What was she thinking? For a man who isn't hers? How ridiculous!' She's crazy! And it seems her mother is, too!' shouts my wolf. I bite my lower lip in thought.

My bladder is full, but there is no way of leaving his embrace without waking him up. However, I try to remove my body from him slowly. He stirs and mumbles something incoherent but doesn't open his eyes. What time is it, anyway? I glance at the clock; it's six forty-seven. I have a long day ahead. Anaiah told me it's time I start my Luna duties. I'm very nervous.I detangle myself from Nicholas and scramble out of bed, but he wakes up. He sits up on the bed, watching me with a scowl. " I'm sorry. Pressed," I apologize and dash to the toilet. I wash my hands and then brush my teeth before exiting. When I return to the bedroom, Nicholas is talking on the phone, his hand running through his messy morning hair." Yes... The shipment can be sent in the evening... Okay, I gotta go," he said, hanging up the phone and kissing me deeply. I grin when he pulls his lips away. "
