SAVIO'S POV."It's okay, don't fret. You're here with me and nobody is going to hurt you." I whispered into Elaine's ears, the metallic smell of blood wafting into my nose at instances.As I led Elaine back to her room, she was a weeping mess. Her body trembled with every step, and I could feel her pain as if it was my own. I wanted to take away all of her pain, but I knew I couldn't. I could only be there for her and try to ease her suffering as much as possible.She was quiet for a brief moment when I picked her up, careful to not touch any of her welts, and carried her back to my room. I could feel her body relax in my arms, and I hoped that she felt safe with me.When we reached my room, I gently laid her down on the bed. She curled up into a ball, clutching at the sheets as tears continued to stream down her face. I couldn't bear to see her like this, and I knew that I had to do something to help her."Elaine, can I help you?" I asked softly, kneeling down beside her. She nodded
ELAINE'S POV.My back is still burning from the whips, but with Savio's massage, I am getting better. The tension in my muscles is easing, and the pain is slowly dissipating. I close my eyes and let out a deep sigh, enjoying the feel of his strong hands on my skin. He's so gentle with me, and I can feel the love and affection pouring out of him.I'm confused, though. All my life, since I showed up at the alpha's home, I have always been terrified, yet drawn to Savio. Being in his room, with his hands on me, is a little shocking to me, and I'm struggling to make sense of what has happened in the last 48 hours. Still, I can't deny that I feel totally at peace in his presence.When he apologizes to me for not believing me, I'm taken aback. "I'm sorry, Elaine. I should have believed you from the start," Savio says, his voice soft and contrite.I don't know what to say. His words are so unexpected, and I am still in a state of shock from everything that has happened. I had never expected
ELAINE'S POV.As I slowly opened my eyes, I was hit with a sharp pain in my back. I rubbed my eyes, trying to wake myself up fully. For a moment, I felt disoriented, and I couldn't remember where I was. As I looked around the room, everything seemed unfamiliar, and I couldn't recognize any of the details around me. The room was unfamiliar, and I was lying in a bed that wasn't mine.The pain in my back quieted down almost immediately, and I tried to sit up, but I was suddenly hit with another wave of dizziness. I took a few deep breaths to steady myself before trying again. As I sat up, I noticed that I was wearing a man's t-shirt. It was soft and comfortable, and it smelled like him.That smell... I narrowed my eyes, everything starting to come back to me in blurry bits and pieces. The room had a different smell and feel to it than my own, and I couldn't recall how I ended up in this foreign place. The walls were painted a neutral color, and there was very little decoration, save for
ELAINE'S POV."What's wrong?" He asked tentatively. "Is there something else you need?" he asked."No, no, it wasn't that. I just thought I should go back to my room and rest a bit more," I said, trying to sound convincing.But before I could get up from the bed, I winced in pain at the bruises on my back. Savio's eyes widened with concern as he had held my wrist, stopping me from moving."Elaine, are you okay?" he asked, worry etched on his face."I'm fine," I lied, trying to pull my hand away."No, you're not," he insisted, his voice firm as he pulled me closer to him.I couldn't help but notice the way his eyes seemed to search mine, as if he was trying to find an answer to some unspoken question. His furrowed brow and the creases on his forehead seemed to deepen, making his handsome face look older than it should.His concern was palpable, almost like a tangible force that enveloped me. It was as if he was radiating heat, and I could feel it seeping into my bones. I tried to prote
Chapter 45:ELAINE'S POV. I repeated the word "mate" in confusion, my mind racing to make sense of what Savio had just said. "Mate? What did you mean, mate?"Savio sighed and closed the small jar of healing salve before placing it back in his bedside drawer. He sat me back down on the bed and gestured for me to continue eating the soup."Elaine, I need you to eat first, and then I'd explain," he said, his voice gentle but firm.I nodded, feeling a bit apprehensive but curious at the same time. I took a few more spoonfuls of the soup, and then I put the bowl aside, waiting for Savio to speak.Savio cleared his throat, his expression serious yet tinged with a hint of vulnerability. He took a deep breath before beginning, his gaze fixed on a point in the distance as if gathering his thoughts."Elaine, you've probably noticed by now that there's something different about me... About everyone else in this pack... Or house," he started cautiously. "Something... supernatural."I nodded slow
ELAINE'S POV. As Savio took the tray from me, I leaned back against the headboard, feeling more relaxed than I had in a long time. It was strange how his mere presence seemed to calm me down. I couldn't remember the last time I had felt this safe and protected.As I watched him take the tray to the door, I noticed how his broad shoulders filled out his shirt and how the muscles in his arms bulged as he lifted the tray. My eyes lingered on him a little too long, and I quickly averted my gaze when he turned around to look at me."Feeling better?" he asked, his voice gentle.I nodded, a small smile playing on my lips. "Yeah, I am. Thanks to you."He smiled back at me, and for a moment, we just sat there in silence, basking in each other's company. It was nice to not have to worry about anything for once, to just be able to relax and enjoy the moment.I looked down at my hands, noticing how they were still trembling slightly. It was a reminder of the ordeal I had just been through, and i
ELAINE'S POV. I took a deep breath and wiped away my tears, still shaken by the memories of the whipping. "Savio," I said, my voice quivering. "How could you work for someone like Atlas? He's so heartless and cruel, how could you possibly defend him?"Savio's expression grew serious, and for a moment, I thought he might lash out at me. But instead, he just shook his head and sighed. "Elaine, you don't understand. Atlas is my alpha. I have sworn my loyalty to him, and I will always serve him, no matter what."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "But he ordered his men to whip me," I said, my voice rising with each word. "How can you defend someone like that?"Savio's eyes hardened, and I could see the alpha in him come to the surface. "Watch your tongue, Elaine," he warned. "You may be in my room, but you're still in his territory. You never know who might be listening."I felt myself start to shrink back, closing up again. I had almost forgotten where I was and who I was with. Sav
Nyx'S POV. I lay on the cold, hard ground of my cell, staring blankly at the dimly lit ceiling. My body was bruised and battered from the countless times I was whipped by Atlas's men. My heart ached with regret and sorrow. How had my life come to this? How had I become a prisoner, trapped in this cruel world ruled by an alpha who had no regard for life?As I lay there, I started to rethink my entire life. All the choices I had made, all the people I had hurt. The thought of how I had lied to Elaine, my only friend in this hellhole, made my stomach churn with guilt. How could I have been so selfish? I should have told her the truth from the beginning.Tears streamed down my face as I thought of all the things I could have done differently. I could have fought harder to stay with my pack, I could have stood up to Atlas and his cruel ways. But it was too late now. I was trapped, alone and broken.Tears streamed down my face as I thought of all the things I could have done differently. I
NYX'S POVAs I stood in front of Atlas's door, my heart pounded in my chest, and my palms grew clammy. The anticipation of facing him made my stomach twist into knots. "Here we go," I whispered to myself, mustering up the courage to confront him.With a hesitant hand, I gripped the doorknob and turned it slowly, the door creaking open. Stepping inside, I was immediately greeted by a familiar scent, a unique combination of musk and sandalwood that belonged solely to him. A quick rush of memories and emotions washed over me, reminding me of the hours we had spent together here and how it shielded me from the rest of the world. But there was no time for nostalgia now; I had a task at hand and needed to focus.I tiptoed further into the room, my eyes scanning for any signs of Atlas's presence. Thankfully, he wasn't there. Call me lucky.A wave of relief washed over me, temporarily easing the anxiety that had consumed me moments before. I silently hoped that luck would be on my side, a
NYX'S POVThe sunlight beamed through the window hitting me directly in the face. 'Fuck' I groaned slightly under my breath as the pain between my legs felt intense and strong. And my joints ached, it felt as though I had worked as a labourer the night before. I had worked though but the only difference was that my role was a submissive slut. Goodness, Atlas was great last night. Rough, dominant and angry. Just the way it should be. He had no mercy whatsoever and it only turned me on the more. He was a bastard for unnecessary punishing me though. But, it was hot even though I got hurt. Sweet bastard.I closed my eyes back, wanting to go back in time. If I could I'd let moments like this last longer. Because anything could happen the next minute. He could decide to not want this tomorrow, or it could even be me who'd wake up and say I strongly wanted all these to end. I doubted I'd wish for such though. But, in life we could really never tell.A smile made it's way to myself, graz
Nyx's pov:Atlas pulled his finger out and then continued to lick his fingers. "Kitty, you taste so fucking devine." He complimented as he gazed into my eyes intensely, his eyes had now turned a different shade of forest green, a darker shade, full of lust and desire for me."Has anyone ever told you that?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper as he continually dipped his fingers in and out of his mouth.And, godamn that shit he did turned me on."Stop staring at me like that or else I'd punish you badly by spanking you 10 times and I wouldn't let you scream because those lips of yours would be nicely wrapped around my cock and you'd suck it, bobbing your head just like the slut you are." He mumbled, his words teasing me as I imagined the scenario. Fuck! It was an intense image to picture.Though I knew it'd be nothing but great torture, extreme and intense. Rough and wicked. Just the way I like being handled."So answer my question, as anyone ever told you how good you taste."
NYX'S POVIt was some minutes to 8pm, the designated time to meet Atlas. I felt both thrilled and excited. I stared at my closet wondering what I could wear that'd fit this occasion. Something pretty, something nice enough to keep him interested in this. Something revealing and sexy.Just in cue my eyes caught sight of a red lingerie, a wicked smile made its way to my lips as my fingers trailed the hook of the delicate lace. My mind wandered going wild with imaginations of the things that could possibly happen with him tonight.Would he still be dominating as he was earlier this morning? Would he be slow and gentle? Never.Slow and gentle for enemies like ourselves would be nothing but cringe and absolutely disgusting. I liked it when he was rough with me, I loved it when he teased me and his cock plunged into me with no mercy. I loved how he caressed my skin leaving me in need and desire. I loved and hated how he often made me beg for him to pleasure me. I checked the time on the
NYX'S POVI groaned in frustration as Atlas left me needy and yearning on the bed. It's crazy how he teased me then suddenly left me hanging. Like, what the actual fuck.He was just punishing me for no reason, why couldn't he stay and finish what he started. Why couldn't he keep his skin on mine a little longer?My heart raced a smile gracing my lips as I remembered I'd get to see him tonight. Thinking about the possibilities of what could happen sent a shiver down my spine. The way he spoke with authority, the low and husky timbre of his voice, the sensation of his hot breath against my skin- It was dominating and undeniably sexy.Goodness, how did we get here? How did we get to the point where I now feel excited to see him?Our arrangement was an unusual yet beautiful one, the fact that I could still hate him and have him pleasure me was a big deal. I sighed in contentment as I laid on the spot where he just left, his smell still lingered on the sheets and I happily wrapped them a
NYX'S POVI blinked my eyes open, feeling light headed as I stirred, breathing a sigh of relief as I smiled nestling further into Atlas. "Good morning baby." He whispered, dipping his head into the crook of my neck, nuzzling gently before planting a soft kiss on my exposed shoulders. I smiled, feeling a shiver run down my spine. I felt excited and thrilled I was new to this foreign feeling. The feeling of being free from overthinking things, free from worrying about possible consequences. He had officially made us just sex partners. Enemies turned Fuck buddies. I liked the sound of it. For once I was happy with his decision, it was undeniable that anytime we were together a dark cloud hung over us hovering ready to spill like a heavy rain. The sexual tension was real, heavy and pressing. "What's on your mind?" He asked, his voice low and calm. As he gently pulled me out of my train of thoughts, reminding me that I was yet to say anything in response but rather I was staring at him
NYX'S POV"I Hiccup. needed to. hiccup see hiccup you." He mumbled. "Atlas, what the-" I started but was cut short by his hand on my waist, pulling me close, resting his head in the crook of my neck and nuzzling it.Holding him closer, I steadied myself as I lost balance from the unexpected encounter. What happened to him? Seeing him at my doorstep was the last thing I expected. Yes, I wished to see him but not in this manner. I wond-"Nyx…" Atlas whimpered, making me forget about how unexpected this was. "Atlas, what's wrong?" I asked. My voice was barely audible, it was as if I was scared that if my voice was beyond this note, it might worsen whatever was wrong. "I don't even know how to explain how I feel." He slurred, his voice sounded so sexy as his hot breath fanned my exposed neck.He was drunk and I could tell because he reeked of alcohol.Leading us to the bed, I made him sit on the edge of my bed. Leaving to get him some water. I felt he'd need it because of the consta
NYX'S POVIt's been 3 days since we last had sex and I missed him. Not that I'd admit this to him but I did miss screaming out his name in pleasure and having him shut me up with kisses. I missed the feeling of his skin against mine. Even in the hallway I haven't seen him around. On the days I cleaned his room he wasn't there either. A part of me felt like he was avoiding me and the thought of that alone bothered me."Nyx,"Aurora called, tugging my arms gently as she pulled me out of my train of thoughts. "Yes yes, I'm here with you." I muttered under my breath as I turned to her and stared at her with an absent mind. I was overthinking and a little bit bothered and My mind, like a blank canvas, was painted with thoughts of a man who both captivated my heart and infuriated me—the same man who happened to be her father.Amusement danced in Aurora's eyes as she let out a soft giggle, the sound filling the room with its beauty. Her innocent joy brought a faint smile to my face, even a
NYX'S POV"Turn Around." He repeated the tone of his voice growing more and more demanding as he gazed into my eyes intensely.He had sent someone to call me over.And I could almost swear that he looked so hot at that moment that I wanted nothing than for him to bend me over the table and fuck me dirty. But I wouldn't give in so easily. "Make me." I challenged as I bit my bottom lip.He meets my defiance with a vicious laugh, and then lifts me up, turns me around, and bends me over the chair. Yes, handle me roughly daddy.I suppress a gasp when Atlas squeezes my ass and brings his lips close to my ear, his breath warm against my skin."Has anyone ever made you feel how I feel? Tell me, have you let many people touch you down here in the last few years?" He asks, pulling my coat as he rubbed his thumb over my thin lace panties. The one I intentionally wore because I wanted to seduce him."E...nough," I stammered, sucking in my breath as his fingers tingled. "Enough to make me proud t
