Abandoned

Karica's POV

His voice echoed in the room loud and clear and the two men instantly halted and turned towards us. My eyes darted in their direction. The confusion marred their sharp features and eyes held questions but they dared not speak. 

Adiyan's mouth was bleeding unstoppable, the blood covered his chin and front of his turtleneck. My heart screamed in pain and I wanted to shred those butchers into pieces. I couldn't even blink seeing the horrified condition of the man I loved. 

"We are leaving. Get the cars ready and leave him here," the beast-type man echoed from behind me in that steely voice of his. 

"Just let me call someone, we can't leave him here like that, he will die. Please," every part of me that was human wanted to rush to Adiyan and take him in my arms but the wolf part of me was content with being held by my mate. This was so conflicting as if I was being painfully torn into two individuals, it was excruciating. 

"I don't care," he calmly added from behind me before addressing his men, "Leave him," they dropped him like a dirty rag and without glancing at him they nodded and walked out.

I began to fidget, wanting to go to Adiyan, but without my wolf, I was a twig in his vice-like grip. 

He left my face and grabbing my arm jerked me around so I would meet those terrifying eyes of his. Those that only held contempt for me.  His aura was so potent that I almost whimpered, he was calling my wolf forward and she was more than happy to oblige. 

I struggled with her for control, not wanting her to meet him yet, I didn't trust her. His fingers and thumb dug into the flesh of my bicep with such force that I let out a painful yelp. The flat line of his lips indicated his disapproval of my actions, his jaw was so tight that I was sure he would snap a vein or two, not that I minded. The fucker deserved the pain he was inflicting on me. 

"Stop struggling, I want to talk to your wolf without your intervention. Let her forward," he commanded me with a stern look. 

"No!" I bellowed, showing my stubborn side. I would fight him with every ounce of willpower I possessed. 

His coal-black eyes flashed an icy blue and silver as his wolf came forward and his canines extended, distorting his face into that of a real hideous monster, a deep growl birthed inside his larynx and was amplified by his pharynx before it was hurled at me, to make me submit. 

A ringing pain pierced through my brain like a whetted knife, resulting in tearing a horrendous scream from my throat. 

"She is mine, let her forward," his wolf demanded as his claws extended and pierced the coat and dug into my skin, puncturing it. A sharp pain resonated in my arm, making me wince. 

Laila was utterly restless as she tried to break my barrier and thrust forward. That was the moment the meaning of the word 'alone' dawned on me.

Not even my wolf was on my side and my so-called 'mate' didn't care about my feelings. He was hurting me to exert his dominance, to have his way. 

'Karica? Please, I gave you so many years to figure out what you wanted. You kept me away from my mate and I stayed quiet but now I want to meet him. So, let me,' Laila was right, she had suffered because of me. I didn't want him but she did. 

I sucked in a large breath and stopped struggling, giving her control but the next words I heard made my blood freeze over. 

"Block her before I talk to you," he demanded of Laila and she didn't hesitate before putting up a barrier and trapping me in an endless void of darkness, I screamed but there was no sound just silence and a floating feeling, which enveloped me and pushed me into the realms of unconsciousness. 

When I regained consciousness, my head was spinning, a searing pain made it throb. With much effort, I slightly opened my eyes and took in my surroundings. It was dark outside and we were moving, my head was resting against a car window and it was tinted. 

I straightened up and took my head in my hands, my arm slightly ached from where he had punctured holes in it but I knew it was healing so I slowly rubbed it and felt his presence. 

His scent suddenly hit me in torrents, making me fidget in my seat and I tried to put as much distance as possible between him and me. I dared not glance in his direction for the dangerous aura he was oozing had me stiffened in my spot. His piercing gaze was all I could sense, judging me for sure. 

I stared down at myself and found that he had buttoned the coat so my nakedness won't show and must have carried me to his car. It was a luxurious car and the back seats were separated from the front seats by a partition. 

"You are an extremely selfish person and I hate egocentric people like you," his judgmental voice was like a torpedo, hitting its target which was my heart.

 'What a jerk,' I thought to myself. 

My head whipped in his direction and his fire-filled orbs were on me. 

"Then why did you bring me along?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady so it would sound confident. 

"It would be unfair to Zilver and Laila. They don't deserve to be apart, they have already suffered enough on your pretext," and I understood what he must have asked Laila when they blocked me. If she wanted them or not. His words also told me his wolf was called Zilver (Silver in Dutch). 

"I am going to set up rules once we reach my territory. And you better obey and follow them or I will make your life so miserable that you would question your very existence," his dominating aura seeped through every cell of his body and covered me, making me quiver. The hatred that danced naked in his eyes frightened me and I shrivelled back.

'Congratulations Karica, you have successfully made an enemy out of our mate,' Laila's taunting words sounded in my mind. She was not pleased. Even my wolf was on his side. 

"I have informed your father as well and have invited him to my pack. I want him to be there when I decide your fate," and I forgot to breathe. Father, I hadn't even seen him for the last three years. Abandoned him when I ran, he would be so disappointed in me and furious. I shuddered at the reminder.
