The more Beth spend the rest of that day at Alex room, just seating around and getting fed like a normal human being, the more she felt as though she was starting to develop a Stockholm syndrome towards him. Even though he isn't her main aggressor, he was still aiding in the whole process of keeping her hostage against her will.Beth watched with red cheek as he emerges from the bathroom after taking a bath and began to throw on his clothes without paying her any single glance. Once he was done, he quickly turned to face her before clearing his throat slightly."I'm going to meet Asher. So stay here and keep the door locked unless you hear my voice, understood?" Alex said, looking at her with those green eyes of his.Beth answered with a nod and he quickly slip out the door, leaving her to stare right after him. She released a breath of relief once she was alone once again before leaning back on the bed wishing to be back home in her little apartment.Even though her living space set
All she could feel for the past minutes is slashes upon slashes across her body. First on her left cheek then arm and more across her chest and stomach. Beth was a screaming mess as the man continued to slice away without mercy.If she thought Asher was worst, then she was finally realizing how wrong she had been. The new man who claims to be Asher's brother is hell in itself as he stood with a satisfied grin on his face while his claws drill more cut into her already mutilated flesh.Her chest burn with renew pain each time his other hand yanked at her hair loop,urging her to maintain eye contact with him still. Beth screams has now been reduced to mere whimpering at this point as warm wet blood drip from the wounds onto the floor and all these while, Beth was still trapped in the man's grip.The man himself didn't seem moved by her pain one bit as more tears trickle down her face, her clothes a mixture of sweats and blood as she struggle to untangle his wrist from choking her to dea
"That's where you are wrong brother. I don't have to prove anything to you or anyone else. Now go back to your pack and prove whatever you must to everyone there and leave me the fuck alone" Asher turned to walk away, stopping only to give his Beta signal to move and Alex quickly sweep Beth's shivering form into his arms and began to head for the exit but paused midway when they heard Jax voice yet again."You are right Asher. You don't have to prove anything to me but you have everything to prove to the council of elders and I will like to announce to you dear brother that, as we speak, they are already on their way here and should be arriving about" Pulling his wrist slightly to glance at his leather watch, he smiled, "About now, so get ready to explain why you are defending a bloody Lincoln"When Asher didn't respond to his brother's statement for an awkward amount of time, Beth dared a glance at his direction and found his hands balled into tight fist by his side. His gaze was in
"What have you really been up to before you came here?" Jax asked her with a dark tone, underlying his voice."Loo... Looking for jobs and...and more jobs to pay off my bills" She shuttered, starting to shift uncomfortably under his fierce scrutiny.Jax let out a disapproving growl under his breath as he raised a brow at her, causing her to swallow nervously.Beth wasn't sure what he was expecting her to say from the unbelievable look in his eyes."Are you sure? Father didn't try to teach his little girl some hunting techniques and tricks?" He shot the questions out accusingly, pulling her wrist behind her back painfully, causing her to yelp in pain."I was abandoned at school after my mom passed away when I was eight years old and I swear to God, that was the last time I ever saw or heard from him. He..he never came to see me" Beth screamed almost angrily, the pain shooting through her arms totally unbearable.Jax finally released her and she stumble slightly before crashing to the f
"I condemn her to death. That is my final judgment. She will be killed by the next full moon as sacrifice to the moon goddess for Macy to find eternal rest"Those same words haven't stopped ringing in her head for the past days now as she was left to wither away in her dark empty cell. Words along can not begin to describe how she feels knowing how soon her life was about to come to an abrupt end in a matter of daysBeth hasn't just resigned herself to the fate awaiting her, she has also lost all appetite for food and no amount of growl and snarling from anyone could get her to do as told.Her only wish is to starve to death and be spared the misery,once and for all. What was the point of getting fed if she would be slaughtered in a couple of weeks like some farm animal. Starving herself to death was one way she found she could help them achieve their aim a bit faster.More days slip by and she continued to wallow and drown herself in self pity while still locked up in her little hell
Her lower lip shivered uncontrollably as tears start to pool in her eyes with each quiet breath she manage to take. One unavoidable blink of the eyes and it began to trickle down her already wet cheeks like a waterfall,over and over again, clouding her already blurred vision like rain on a stormy day.Beth was simply afraid. She was beyond just being afraid. She also dreaded the second she would feel the impact of that sharp blade across her neck and putting an end to her very existence.Strong as she might pretend to be. She was still afraid of dying, of the cold unknown. Fear of the inevitable has finally taken hold of her heart and it was causing it to race like an untamed stallion, wild and nearly exploding within her chest.The initial plan was to hold it together till the end. To show those group of animals condemning her to death that, she was not afraid and to die with her head held high but easily said than done. That plan would have worked. It really would have if not for t
"You will be staying here as per Asher's order" Alex said the moment he led her into another room before turning around to look back at Beth's rather cold and distant expression.When she said nothing in reply, he simply muttered under his breath and shot her one more gaze before he quickly walked out the room and the door closed behind him rather loudly.Beth jumped in fright as though she had been attacked by it. Letting out a breath, she turned and began to look around curiously, taking it in all at once. Instead of her dirty dark cell, She realized she was staring at a different room entirely as her eyes met with the neon curtains hanging across the window. It matches with the sheet covering the large bed by the corner, she took note as she went.Was it a guest room? She wondered as her gaze continued to scan every inch of the room. Everything looked unused yet neat and very much placed in their right places. A rectangular table sat by the far corner, close to the window with a f
"Already enjoying your little pregnant privilege, I see," Kara said with a frown the moment she walked in and stood with her hands anchored against her waist, not to mention her eyes glaring at Beth with total disgust and hatred.Beth on the other hand was trying her damn hardest not to fidget at her mere presence. Whatever reasons she has for coming to taunt her tonight couldn't be good. She was absolutely sure of it. Her opening speech was already intimidating enough.Cussing under her breath, She took a step closer, her eyes darting around the room before it settled back on Beth's stiff posture on the bed and then smiled an evil one at her."You are seriously enjoying this ain't you?" She half questioned and demanded with a scoff.Totally aware of the female wolf intense gaze burning through her feature, Beth peered back up to witness a look of irritation flashed through Kara's eyes when she said nothing to reply her query. "What do you want?" She dared to ask after a moment of s
It has been a month since the shooting incident with Bradley Lincoln. How everyone survived that day was a miracle. A miracle that got Asher’s men arriving on time and saving them both before they were ridden with silver bullet from his gun.For a moment, Elizabeth thought they were really going to die as she saw her life flashed before her very eyes but after all the shot were fired out and she was still safely wrapped in Asher's embrace, she knew she was still breathing and alive so she cried.She cried so hard, firstly because the man she thought was her father even though he had showed her too many times that he wasn’t had killed her mother and was going to kill her too. Nothing could be more messed up than that.As she stood beside his unconscious body that night and coughing out blood, she saw no remorse in the eyes of the dying man still. Even his last words still echo in her head."I will never forgive…" he couldn't complete his statement as he died on the spot and choking on
Beth opened her eyes slowly and groaned. A sudden migraine starting to hit her. She tried to make use of her hands but she was unable to move them. She opened her eyes fully and noticed she was now in a much darker room.She tried to wriggled her hands again but it seemed something was holding it back, prompting her to glance back at the new set of chains holding her to two pillars.“Damn that monster” She snarled under her breath in utter realization. It was none other than Bradley’s doing.She was about to yell for him when she noticed she was not the only one in the room as she could hear pain whimper coming from the corner."Is anyone here?" Beth asked but as usual, her echo replied to her instead but it didn’t stop her as she was certain she wasn’t alone.From the cracked walls, she could see another being had also been chained beside her and from all indication, it was a male being.His head was hanging low and she was unable to get a glimpse of his face but something tells he
“What did he ever did to you? Just what! You fucking killed his pregnant mate and you stand here to talk about the pain he ever caused you? Are you ducks insane?” Elizabeth couldn’t help but yelled at him." You're the real monster and I hate to think that at some point in my life I ever called you father!" Beth yelled angrily and Bradley let out a chuckle.“You are no daughter of mine, Elizabeth. And what I did to that monster was nothing compared to what his uncle did to me” Her eyes narrowed at his out burst.*What are you talking about?”The older man took a few steps closer, his eyes now fixed at the one seated before him but he made no attempt to touch her, instead he came to a pause before her, his head slightly tilted to the side to stare at the fading scar around her neck.“You got marked already?”She gave a shrug, “Asher is my mate so yes, we were going to make it official before you showed up and ruin it all so I’m warning you to take me back before its too late”"You’re
Elizabeth's eyelids parted ways rather slowly before she let out a yawn and tried to turn or stretch but she noticed she found difficulty in doing that. Her hands and feet were bind together in an uncomfortable way, restricting her from doing so.With her eyes darting around in panic, she noticed she was no longer in the ceremonial room but someplace strange and unfamiliar. The room itself small and completely dim. Only a ray of light was filtering in through the glass window."Where the hell am I? Where is Asher and every other person?" Beth asked herself as she tried pulling herself into a sitting position on the wooden bed she was placed on."What happened to me?" Beth asked confusingly and just then, memories from the previous night start to floor back into her mind and she let out a gasp.The last thing she could remember was kicking Asher out of her room before the ceremony only to be confronted by his presence again, at least that was what she thought when she heard shuffling
“He took her. He fucking took her from me”"What is the problem? Did anything happen to Beth?" Alex asked as he watched Asher squeezed the piece of paper between his palm."Oh my God! I knew it. I knew something terrible has happened" Izzy let out in panic as she continued to gasp with tears in her eyes. Alex quickly gathered her into his arms before she could crumble to the floor.“Asher will get her back so put yourself together, Izzy. We will get her back” Alex assured her and she nodded even though she was still far from putting herself together."where were you when Beth was taken away? I thought I asked you to stay by her side at all times?" "I’m sorry Alpha but I didn’t mean to leave her even for a second but she wanted me to make sure the baby was fine and I just left” Izzy said as her tears began trickling down her cheeks."Where is my Son?" Asher suddenly asked as he turned to face them, his dark eyes even darker as he stared at both his Beta and Izzy."What?” She croaked o
Asher moved closer but Beth stepped backwards then paused, her lips twisting slightly."What's the matter? Is everything okay with you?" Asher asked softly, studying Beth closely as he continued to advance towards her."Don't tell me you broke in through the window?" "Yes I did, I missed you badly and decided to come and check on you." Asher said and Beth released a breath she never knew she had been holding in."You're so unbelievable Asher, I got scared and thought it was some intruder." Beth said.Asher filled up the space between them and pulled her into his arms with a sigh escaping his own mouth."Even if it was the intruder, I will come to your rescue.?" Asher said with a chuckle before pulling away slightly to stare at Beth's cute face."I am okay, just missing you and Sam. Have you seen him?" "Yeah, Izzy is really taking good care of him." "I am relieved seeing you. I can't still come to believe that we are finally getting married." Beth said smiling widely and Asher kiss
"Just give me the chance to see her and ask for forgiveness, I have really wronged her and I would be at ease if she forgives me." "Okay, you can see her. Alex will go with you," he said with a nod and Alex obeyed immediately. "She must have decided to change as Beth guessed." Asher thought as he watched them leave his sight. Alex had a grime look in his eyes as he took her to Beth's room and left so they could have space to talk freely. Kara knocked softly on the door,"Who is it?" "It's me Kara" She replied hesitantly and there was total silence after that before she heard footsteps heading towards the door and she took a step back and waited.Beth opened the door slowly and was surprised to see Kara with a few of her bags. "Can I come in?" Kara asked politely and Beth couldn't help but narrowed her eyes further at her .At the back of her mind, she wondered why Kara of all people is being polite to her? "Sure… sure you can," Beth stuttered and Kara walked in."I know you're
°°later that Night °°Beth lay in between Asher’s arm, her face buried into his side as he wrapped a protective arm around her small frame, holding her to his large body."So what happened next?" Beth asked, enjoying the story Asher was telling her about his late wife, Macy.Asher let out a sigh, not sure if he wanted to continue telling her about his late wife but somehow talking about everything that had happened had somehow gotten them close."Macy didn’t deserve to die the way she did. She was the sweetest and most selfless I have never met and your father took that from me." Asher said and Beth sighed before peering into his face."Why haven't you gotten him all these while? Is he really that invisible?" Beth asked curiously."Your father is a wise and cunning man, he can't keep running away from me forever. I will surely get to his hideout one day." Asher said and exhaled."Let's stop talking about him, I get sick hearing about matters related to him. Let us talk about us and ou
“You can do anything you put your mind into, Elizabeth. Just remember everything I have told you and you are a step to winning” Asher said and offered her his hand and she took hold of it. Without much as a warning, she pulled him back down and Asher landed on the floor beside her.Asher let out a chuckle at the unexpected reaction.“I guess you were paying attention”“You bet I was. Now let spar once more” Beth suggested, getting back on her feet and Asher did same while she quickly got into position.°° Day of the fight °°The arena of the fight was already crowded when she walked in with Izzy by her side, her eyes met with Asher's and the latter nodded positively. "I didn’t think you would come but since you are already here, I have an offer for you so it's better to grab this opportunity now before it's too late. Withdraw from the fight right now and I will give you a chance to become Asher's mistress." Kara whispered behind Beth and the latter smiled.“How about you take that sa
