Take off your cloth

Ann

Chapter three

"Take off your clothes!" This time her voice sounded cold and deadly.

My eyes bulged alongside my head which had snapped left. I wasn't putting on any inner dress and there is this man over there. I nipped to catch a quick glimpse, my eyes get honed with his, and my heart rang inaudible words.

My inner wolf was uttering some words but I couldn't pick up. I feigned ignorance and deafness.

Never would I have to strip in front of this cute man.

"Are you deaf?" "Slave!"

Even after hearing these words being directed at me, I was unyielding as I could feel his gaze piercing into my body.

I had already been flogged the thirtieth time but because I didn't cry out, Elena had asked for me to strip.

Lady Jessica never uttered any words nor do her sister-in-law say anything.

"You're staring at Jayden! How dare you stare at my man?" Elena spouted with eyes glimmering with viciousness.

The man whose name was Jayden spared a glance at me. He smirked, rising from his position. He got a little bit closer to me before sending a hard kick against my head. He spat on my face before returning to his seat.

My head had a skin kiss with the hard floor.

Lady Jessica having observed that I wasn't going to strip cleared her throat, taking the mug of tea in between the grasp of her fingers, sparing me a mean stare before sipping.

"Ask the guards to take her to the confinement room." "She needs to be taught some lessons."She opined, dropping the mug recklessly against the wooden table.

As the guards came in to drag me, I never protest rather, my gaze was on Jayden who seems to be unperturbed at the way I was being treated.

I was dragged into an enclosed room of darkness with no source of light which look more like a cell. The cell was locked, with the guardsman wandering away leaving me to my fate.

The moment from when I had sighted Jayden replayed in my head, and unpredictable smiles curled up my cheeks.

I can't say but I was happy seeing him, I felt like there's a kind of connection between me and him.

There was this link lingering in my veins while I was being dragged, I was waiting for him to come to my aid. 

"Acum..."I coughed out, bringing my elbow closer to my mouth.

What are they going to do? And what does it mean that I need to be taught some lessons?

"Elena!" I called amidst pain. Uncontrollable tears were Pouring out of my eyes. Why does she detest me so much?

I tried my best not to weep anymore. It's okay. Everything is going to be okay. I just pray she realized her actions before it's too late.

"*"****

I didn't know for how long I had stayed here. But it was already feeling like years.

The worms in my stomach were not smiling. They were having fun with my intestines, my throat was dried and sore. There was no spit to swallow in order for it to be wet.

I was hungry, my vision was blurry that I couldn't see properly. Although I was in a dark room.

I tried to stand on my feet but I fell with my ass, sitting on a sharp thing. I let out a piercing cry, mustering the whole strength within me to stand and save my butt from the sharp stuff.

After much struggle, I was able to take it off.

"Nail?"The words fell out of my mouth.

I need to get out and have this treated before I'm infected. Andre died because he refused to get his wound treated which were inflicted by a nail.

I crawled on my knees, spreading my hands forward in a bid to locate the door which has the metal bar. Upon locating it, I let out a cry.

"Hello, who is there?"

"Anyone out there?" I screamed with the last of my strength panting heavily. But there was no response as it was only the echo of my voice that had resounded to the room I was.

I buried my head against the metal bars sobbing quietly until I felt the metal bars hitting against my head. Someone was trying to open it but it seems my head was serving as a hindrance.

I flinched to save my face, as the gate was being pushed back. A lantern with a faint flame was brought closer to my face. "Get out!" The Warden yelled. His tone was sharp which makes me to jerked out of impulse. 

My head was lowered, tears still streaming down my eyes.

"I can't ... Walk." I stuttered with unknown boldness.

I couldn't see the expression on his face but I know he was glaring hard at me.

"So?" He cocked his brow busting out into a devilish laughter.

"Please..."I slurred, with my tilted face which was looking straight into his.

"Okay."He chimed.

I was happy that he was at least a wolf with a golden heart and was going to help me but my high expectations of him were cut short as he grabbed me by my hands and start to drag me off the rough concrete floor which was stony.

I always let out a shrill cry whenever my wounds came in contact with the stone floor.

He was letting out a peal of wicked laughter. "Your wish my command princess."He scorned, dragging me faster than how he has been.

He got to a spot and came to a halt. "Get up." I didn't wait further for any of his words as I already stood up, staggering as if I was drunk.

I couldn't stand on my feet anymore as my vision was blurry and my stomach churning.

"Just four days of no food and you're behaving as if you will die any moment from now ..." He pushed me forward and I fell with my face hitting hard on the concrete floor.

His footsteps stopped right beside my face, he leaned closer to me. "Candid advice, if you don't want to die now, never. Get. On. The. Nerves. Of. The. Bergen's family!"He emphasized each of his words before placing his heavy boot against my temple.

His words were like rumbling noise to my ears, I didn't even react to any of his words or actions because my body was weak with pain and I was too drained of energy to speak.

He lifted me off the concrete floor and my mind flew up. What is he up to? Is he going to throw me off? Was he instructed to kill me?

"Mother," I mumbled inwardly.
