Heartbreak

Joanna's POV;

Despite all he did to me, I couldn't help getting attracted to him! I curse the mate bond! His features were forever in my head. His black hair, black orbs, thick eyebrows, pointy nose and his sharp jawline with his well sculpted face remained etched unto my brain.

I sighed for the nth time as I watched him walk out of the cell after leaving me with a threat.

He didn't have to because I was planning not to leave this cell again. Two months of running barefooted had done enough to me.

I lied back on the rock hard bed and closed my eyes as I rubbed my small bump. I was thankful it hadn't began to show as it would only cause more problems for me. I couldn't bear the thought of my baby getting killed. Even if he/she would also be the daughter/son of the man that used me, I don't care as far as he/she was also my blood and flesh.

I internally calculated how long Sebastian would be gone for.

Judging by how happy he looked, I knew it'd take long before he arrived.

Twenty minutes passed and to say I was bored out of my mind would be an understatement. I craved things I have never eaten and things I wasn't supposed to eat. All was to be blamed on the baby I was carrying.

Suddenly, I felt the cell shake or was it my hallucination?

My eyes flew open as I stared warily and out of the cell while searching for anything that might give away the fact that I was only dreaming.

As I watched the guard who was asked to watch over me leisurely sitting on the chair, leaning his back on the wall as he sat, I released the breath I never knew I was holding.

It was only my imagination!

Just as I was about to close my eyes again, the cell shook and I swear I could see the ground shaking along with it.

Due to the momentum, I fell off the bed but that wasn't the main point. The problem was that I wasn't able to stand on my two feet because the cell kept shaking.

With my head vibrating, I turned to stare at the guard and despite the fact that he was in the same situation as I was,I found his hilarious. He was sitting miserably on his butt, staring wide eyed,unable to comprehend what was happening.

Suddenly, I heard a loud growl followed by hurried pounding atop the cell.

It felt like a large animal was standing atop where I was and I was scared out of my wits.

"Attack! Stay on guard! Fight!" Those words could be heard from where I now laid sprawled on the floor in a terrible position. I wasn't able to keep a foothold and neither was I able to sit properly.

It felt like an earthquake.

Soon, I heard the jingling and clinging of what I soon made out to be the cell locks.

I immediately moved back in fear, surprised about what was going to happen but then I was shocked out of my wits as I watched wide eyed as the door opened.

Then,the only voice ringing in my head was telling me to run! Run and never turn back.

Was this my chance? I questioned myself, staring at the opened door starry eyed.

I knew I was in a dungeon along with others who were kidnapped and as I watched them all run out of their cells jubilating, a part of me wished to stay back.

After all, the man I was running away from was my mate and the father of my unborn baby. Moreover, I didn't want my child to grow up fatherless like I did. I didn't want my offspring to pass through the same torture.

I turned to look at the guard who was trying to hold back few of the captives but was failing miserably. He was outnumbered but soon, I realized something was off about him.

I noticed as he tried restraining them, he seemed to be giving leeways to the helpless and fragile ones among them.

My eyes clashed with his pair of brown orbs which seemed to be glinting.

His eyes held so many emotions, emotions I couldn't fathom.

I saw his mouth move as he continued to stare at me. I wasn't able to tell what he was saying but the more I looked, the more it seemed like a voice was whispering the words he was saying to me.

'Leave! Leave this place now! This is your only chance,' those were his words and as much as I wanted to leave, I couldn't. Tears streamed down my eyes as my head went downcast. I bitterly shook my head at the guard and realized he didn't seem as tough and heartless as he looked.

It was chaos in the pack and I wondered how the greatest pack of all could be attacked suddenly and suffer much damage. It seemed like there was more to it than it met the eye.

I closed my eyes and leaned my body on the shaky wall. Now was my chance to escape but here I was, clinging to the thread of hope that I had.

Seconds seemed like days, days seemed like months.

After two hours, everything was settled and the ground wasn't shaking as it used to. The guard who was meant to watch me had left since an hour ago. It appeared to be that I was only one in the dungeon as the others had now escaped.

I was about going back to Dreamland when I heard a series of footsteps and h…heels?

Who'd come to this dungeon wearing heels, aside dunderheads?

I closed my eyes and heart to the outside world, taking my hair away from my face.

"Here she is. Joanna, come say hi," I heard my mate call out. I popped my eye open, hurriedly rising to my feet and there and then, my eyes clashed with a pair of red orbs. Unconsciously, my petite body shivered.

As I stared at the woman, I couldn't deny the fact that she was beautiful. She appeared no less than the same age as I was.

The more I stared at her figure, the more I wished I could hide myself deep in the ground. I was incomparable to her.

She had the right amount of flesh in the right places whereas mine were as small as a peanut.

"Hi, I love your hair," and there I went, blushing like a fool when I heard her call out to me. I awkwardly covered my cheeks, trying to hide the red hue despite the fact that I knew all other places of my skin would have betrayed me.

My skin was pale right from birth and coupled with my white hair, I looked no less than a vampire. My features had always been a pain in my butt. I was told I looked like a doll because of my small oval shaped face, a button nose,big watery brown orbs, dainty eyebrows and a small pouty red lips.

Beside this woman Sebastian was introducing to me, I looked no less than a kindergartener.

"Umm…hi," I forced a smile, waving at her with my eyes slightly treigned on Sebastian.

It hurt to see that he was by staring intently at the woman beside him whom he believed was his mate. It hurt badly, I had no idea what was going on and neither did he, but one thing was sure, the woman wasn't a friend but an enemy.

"Don't worry, you'll be getting to know each other better since we'd be staying together. Let's go," Sebastian said coldly and I was confused as I stood rooted to the ground.

"Do you enjoy the cell that much?" I heard him ask and realized he was now glaring at me. His gaze on me as hostile as always. Well…Greek gods could be surprising.

I pointed to myself foolishly and surprisingly raised my eyebrows at him. Way to go, Joanna, I scolded myself.

Feeling his glare on me,I gulped nervously and immediately walked out of the cell but I couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"You didn't escape despite the fact that your cell door was open. You passed the test," Unexpectedly, I heard him reply but rather than him replying, his words shocked me the most. Test? Then, what about the others who didn't pass the test, where were they? What would happen to them?

These questions were only at the tip of my tongue as I watched his well sculpted body intently.

If I were to stand beside him, I'd look like his little sister or his kid and this made me blush in embarrassment with my head bowed. I was now going to be living with the well known Cruel Alpha of Red moon pack!

Two days passed and I was mentally and physically exhausted. I had to do menial jobs during the day and serve Sebastian at night. He was yet to notice I was now carrying his child and I couldn't wait to tell him. I wanted to give him another chance again but who knew I was about to get my heart broken?
