ELENA’S POV

Hands.

Several pairs of hands seem to be driving me under. I raise my head to catch a break but I only get less than a second before I'm dunked back under.

It's not water. It's black, inky, and without substance. It's not water. I had no idea what it was but I couldn't breathe.

I wanted a break really, I was suffering out there in the world and yet now even in death, it seems I couldn't catch a break. Fuck the Gods. Fuck this shit, I'm tired of fighting.

So, so tired.

Flashes of my family passed through my eyes. My mother, my sister, and my brothers. My father with his never-ending frown of disapproval as if being alive was my fault. Hell, even being dead wasn't so much better. I guess maybe this is how death is supposed to feel.

Shame on me I guess.

I could hear beeping, like monitors beeping...kind of like in a hospital. It felt like someone was here watching me. My body was ready to get back to... somewhere I guess but my mind was shielding me, trying to protect me

    Valerian's POV Looking at her lying there... pale, fragile, and defenseless on the clinic bed shook something in him. His eyes roved over her beautiful face still covered in bruises. She looked so small lying there. The doctor had come in earlier to tell him that now that she had woken up, she was healing at a steady rate. She needed to take things slow and before you know it, she would be on her feet and out of there soon. She tossed her head, mumbling something under her breath. He moved closer to hear what she was saying. "Zayn, no Zayn" she kept on repeating. He sighed, rubbing a hand over his weary face. She'd been like that for the past two hours since she'd slept back, muttering either Zayn or Ethan's name. He remembered how scared she was when she woke up. Even unconscious she had no rest from those bastards. The panic attack she had when he walked over to place a kiss on her forehead lit a rage in him. For her to be afraid of a simple gesture spoke volumes. His hands

    ELENA'S POVI stir to wake, my entire body feels like an aching mess as the sounds of the world hit as I come back from this pit of darkness I've been in. I keep my eyes closed as I assess the aches and pains, wondering what the hell happened to make me hurt this much.It takes a moment for my mind to catch up but then it all comes flooding back.Sigh.My head feels weighed down by heavy metals. Feeling groggy and woozy from the medicine they pumped into me, I wake up slowly, careful not to dislodge the wire thing sticking out of my arms. I lay there for a moment, thinking.It seemed so surreal being here away from Zayn and Ethan if only temporarily.I've dreamt so much about this moment but now it's here I feel numb.I'm not stupid, I know they're coming for me.That's why I'll be dedicated to enjoying every bit of freedom I have.Ironically, I've only been with them a short while but it felt like the longest years of my life.I shift my thoughts from those unpleasant memories, I'll

    ELENA'S POV Never thought I'd ever complain about being bored.That thought popped again into my head and trust me it wasn't for the first time either.The problem with being somewhere that you don't belong, with not having a home, is there's nowhere for you to retreat when you want to escape and feel safe.Not that I have anywhere I could call safe.Or anywhere I could hide away from the monsters plaguing me. I've been awake for over a week now, but I've been stuck in what these people call the med building which is a small hospital. This pack is very loaded.Sigh. Being a weak Omega is a bitch. From the window, I've watched the comings and goings of the members of the pack... I could see the cafe across the square, which looks like a central meeting place that is usually always busy. Between that, the clothing stores, and the screaming kids as they go to school, this place looks nice but I have firsthand experiences that appearances can be quite deceiving.But still….It looks so

    VALERIAN’S POVStorming out of the room in anger, and rage, as I'd never felt before, was coursing through my veins and I needed an outlet. I can't believe she said that, over my dead body would I allow her to be taken back to those bastards? My hands clenched and unclenched in anger. Spinning my gaze landed on a chair beside the wall -the same chair I'd use in waiting for her to come out of the induced coma- and I stalked over angrily flipping through the room. It hit the wall with a loud crash, scattering to pieces when it hit the ground.A nurse came rushing into the hallway no doubt wondering what the ruckus is all about, the moment she saw me and the remnants of the chair, she hightailed it just as fast as she came back out of the room.I guess she was afraid of me.I sigh, rubbing a hand over my face still pacing.I'm worried I may have scared her inside but I can't bring myself to calm down and go back in.The display of violence I did in her room didn't endear me to her mor

    ELENA’S POV Gradually I've been getting stronger over the past couple of days. A cleaning lady comes in from time to time to change the bedding and do my laundry, she doesn't talk much, not sure if it's because that's her nature or she's been ordered not to speak to me. Creek has come by once or twice to speak to me and make sure I'm okay but since then nothing.I didn't expect Valerian to wait on me hand and foot but it's kinda rude to ignore a guest. Not to mention a part of me misses him.Hmm, don't even go there Elena.But on the plus side, the nightmares have gotten less frequent but I still do have them though. I wonder if they'll ever stop.When Creek stopped by, he said I was free to go into the gardens to explore and get some fresh air, but I've been here trying to gather the courage to step outside this room. I feel like this room is my bubble, once I go out there the bubble pops and there's nothing to protect me anymore. A silly analogy I know.Someone knocks timidly bef

    ELENA’S POVI was back there again. I didn't want to be here.Fates, take me out of this hellhole. I've been laying on the ground for Fates knows how long, it could be days, weeks, I wouldn't know the difference. I was naked but some guard or someone placed a blanket over my body, it helped with the cold on my body but not the cold that pierced my heart.I had healed fully and I knew it was a matter of time before they came back possibly with a new technique for them to use on me. The last time they gave me wolfsbane so I couldn't heal, I felt the pain for weeks on end. I'd cried so much at the beginning that I had no tears left to cry.I heard the jangle of keys soon enough, and I curled myself tighter into a ball on the floor. I hoped it was someone bringing the food. The first couple of times they brought food and I couldn't bring myself to eat it always leaving it untouched, I'd learned my lesson quickly.Now I'd realized that they didn't care if I ate or not, they just wanted me

    ELENA’S POVHarder?" Zayn asked wickedly.She couldn't pull him into her with her hands bound. She couldn't nod while wrapped around his dick and I'd be impressed if she could even murmur an answer so that question was rhetorical. Although Nari's eyes looked up meeting Zayn's and I guess he took that as consent -not that he needed it -. Slowly, he withdrew only to slam back into her mouth again. Then he did it again and again.Her body flinched from the abuse, I could see her throat stretch as he pushed against her gag reflex. Her hands were clenched into fists, straining against the manacle. That hurt but Nari wouldn't dare complain, although I could see that she was getting aroused from the rough treatment. From here I could see that her pussy was flushed and swollen, getting wetter by the second.Zayn just needed to toy with her, just needed to use her. She wanted it and he gave it to her over and over, offering her no chance but to swallow him as he fucked her face…. hard.His ha

    ELENA’S POV He raised the knife and cut, heaving his hips in time. As his dick rammed into her body, the blade left a straight line across her sternum. Blood quickly pooled in the shallow cut. The next thrust got another line, this one a little deeper. The third completed a triangle, and blood began to trickle down between her breasts. Nari moaned but when he started on a second triangle, she began to whimper. The cuts got even deeper. Her skin parted, gaping a little too much as Zayn crouched lower to keep his dick inside her. Ethan tried to help but gave up after the second try. Zayn didn't care though. He cut as he fucked, doing both as hard as he could. Once he finished the second triangle, he moved to her shoulder. "Make me stop," he taunted Nari. She simply whimpered, so he continued deeply carving a curving line below her shoulder in the shape of a snake. Blood colored her shoulders immediately and she screamed. The pain he inflicted on her drove him to ram into her harder.

    Ethan's POV I jerked awake out of the darkness with a deep gasp, clutching my heart which felt like it was going to jump right out of my chest.I felt my chest knit itself back slowly in my chest, and I felt the faint sharp cut still worrying me."What do you remember? Can you hear me?" Someone asked, leaning and blocking the light, which upset me. And of the three men, one guy came close being brave to check on me.I remember his cute, innocent eyes peering at me...I loved when those same eyes were bleeding with fear.I tried to raise my other hand only for the hand to stubbornly refuse my command, the other hand however have graduated enough to learn movement.Before even the next morning, I had already learned about the major languages in the country and can strangely pronounce them.My body and joints felt very awkward like they weren't mine and it took some getting used to.I moved forward, my muscles grinding against my bone, creating a very unpleasant experience.I wanted to s

    Valerian's POV Ethan was so caught up in what he was doing that he didn't hear me coming in time and only turned back at the last minute.I rushed towards his knees, tackling him to the floor.I raised my fists and brought them down on his nose, breaking it with a sick crack.I lunged again but he dodged, rolling to the side and I lost my balance."Why. Won't. You. Fucking. Die?" He banged my head against the floor harder with each word he uttered as he tightened his hand on my head.I reach out to hit him but He rolls and leaps to his feet kicking me in my stomach. I curl into a ball as fresh pain blooms in my stomach as the kick reopened the wound. He didn't care, kicking me harder, so much so the force made me fly backward hitting the window and shattering the glass to pieces.I was so badly hurt that I didn't move after I slumped to the floor, just moaning in pain."Fucking pathetic prick." He spat, stumbling to his feet, and walked drunkenly towards Elena. She scrambled back,

    Valerian's POV My heart was in my throat as we sped back to the city, all the while inside my mind I was beating myself up for not seeing everything they had planned out sooner.I should have known it was all a setup.I've heard stories about how sick those men were and I can only imagine the twisted and depraved things they were doing to my pack mates, people who right now were looking up to me for help….and I let them down."You'll drive yourself crazy if you don't stop." Jared came to stand beside me where I was fidgeting. I couldn't keep calm, eager to get back home and fight."I can't stop!" I hissed, whirling around to turn furious eyes at him. "It's all my fault that this is happening. I was in such a hurry to get to Elena, I rushed in blindly avoiding a lot of blinking red flags.""Blaming yourself won't help our people, pulling yourself together will."Due to my whole display in the woods, everyone kept away from me giving me a wide berth.I didn't like messy killings prefer

    Somewhere on the outskirts of Red Sun Hill CityZayn's POV The soft rays of the early morning sun were filtering through the clouds and I moved around impatiently, waiting for the signal.We were all gathered here since yesterday, camping in their backyard. It was quite hard to conceal this large number of people from the city's radar but our people on the inside helped with that, diverting any attention away from us."What's the status?"I spoke into the earpiece I'd wired into my ear for easy communication, while one eye was on my mate. She was by Ethan's side, her head swept to the side to display her collar which was a symbol of our ownership. "It's a go, sir." A voice squeaked over the earpiece, quite difficult to hear but I easily got the message since it was what I'd been waiting to hear all day.Immediately I signaled to the Alpha for them to kick into action, then called Trent to the side.He jogged over to meet me, decked in his battle gear with several daggers and a knife

    Valerian's POV "Hey," Jared calls out and I turned from where I was on the balcony to stare at him, watching his long legs eat up the space before he crossed over to where I was."Heard anything from her yet?" It had taken him a few hours but he healed from the wound, and after being placed on mandatory bed rest he was back to his normal jovial self.The search was still out for Ruby but I doubt we would catch her, I had a feeling she was long gone.I turn back, looking down at the activities taking place below.I was at the Court for some meetings- which seems never ending recently - and also because I needed to think. Being clouded by Elena's things and her scent in the house wasn't helping me think clearly.I had needed to come to a fast decision on what to do, either to forget about Elena and try to move on with my life or to fight like hell for her.I was quite torn about it for a while, the natural instincts as Alpha to protect my pack weighing heavily against my selfish desir

    Ethan's POV"I've been thinking," Zayn announced out of the blue, gesturing for us to take a walk down the line of trees by the cabin away from prying eyes. "About what?” I ask, watching two birds tweeting at each other.“Elena.” The sound of her name was like a blaring alarm which caused me to look up at Zayn.“What happened to her?” I think back to the unconscious woman lying on the floor a few feet away from where we stood.“I want us to perform the mating ceremony today.” He informs me, not looking anywhere near me.“That’s sudden,” I turned to look at him. “what caused the change?” “If she’s mated with us, she would truly become one with us in every aspect physically and up here” he tapped the side of his head looking fierce. “she won't be able to hide anything.""You're not giving her the choice?"We might have not been the most loving of mates but there are some lines I do consider extreme, we are mates but performing the mating ceremony has to be the choice of both people i

    Ethan's POV I watched Zayn down drink after drink of alcohol, trying to blot out whatever he was feeling.When he first found out, he yelled, raged, and raked for the longest time until I thought he wouldn't stop.I totally understood why she would do that, she was a simple creature that just wanted love and to be loved, unfortunately, she got saddled with the wrong people but what made Zayn so angry was that she was going to take our child away from him.I opened the door quietly and looked at where Elena lay unconscious on the floor with the mark on her thigh.Zayn had rubbed wolfsbane into the wound to ensure that it didn't heal properly, even if it did heal, it would ensure that his name would forever be branded on her thigh.I had initially wanted to stop him thinking that that would be too much and it would definitely make her hate him all the more, but then I understood that he was hurt and he needed to lash out, in whatever form.After he stomped out still angry, his marks on

    Elena's POV I was rudely awakened when someone dragged me out of bed in the morning by thrusting the covers back, letting the chill of the morning air kiss my skin, and winding their hand around my arm, pushing me out. I blinked my eyes several times to clear the grogginess and focus on the brick of a man dragging me away, my night dress flapping around my feet. I whimpered when my bare foot stubbed on a table, effectively clearing the sleepiness from my eyes and the man turned to look at me and I realized it was Zayn. I sagged in his hold with relief and looked up at his face. "Za-yn slow down!" I shrieked when he increased his pace. He rounded the corner, his long legs eating up the floor and I hurried behind him walking twice as fast to keep up. He almost ran down the stairs, still dragging me without paying any attention to me or even stopping. If I thought my words were going to convince him to let up, boy was I wrong, because if anything he started to walk faster. "Zay-n! P

    Valerian's POV "Someone get me, Jared!" I yelled to the entire room not speaking to anyone in particular, raking my hand through my hair in agitation. I've been trying to get across to him but to no avail. We were supposed to meet up this morning but he wasn't picking up at all and after a while, the calls were going to voicemail. I was getting worried, it was not like him to dismiss an important meeting without cause. "Sir." Someone called my attention to the front and I turned in that direction, meeting one of the younger shifter's earnest gaze. "I've tracked his phone as you suggested, its location is still pinging that it's at his house. 'So why wasn't he picking up the phone?" I mutter to myself. Then I picked up my keys and dashed out of the room like my tail was on fire. The beta assigned to drive me today saw me rushing out of the building and standing up in a hurry, to jump into the vehicle but I paid him no heed, rounding to the driver's side and I sped off without lo
