I am trembling seriously, my legs shaking like jelly fish. I'm exhausted.
Surprisingly, after that day Mark did not order the guards to beat me. A week is gone and still no punishment, this is not right. Something is fishy.
I close my eyes, a pair of brown orbs showing. I opened my eyes, I took a hard breath. Since I saw those eyes, I haven't forgotten about them. They're the most beautiful pair I have ever seen. I want to see them again, I need to see them. But how?
I'm sure he'll reject me, the thought of that makes me sick. Who was I kidding? My mate is no ordinary man, he's a king. An Alpha king. The head of a park. What a deep shit!
I clean the sweat on my forehead with my sleeve. I wonder what my future holds, I'm just 21. He already hates me, I saw it in his eyes, his cold gaze. He thinks I betrayed him. Only if he knows the truth, only if.
He's going to reject me, he won't accept me. That isn't going well with me. But that's the harsh reality, every wolf fears this and mine is going to become true. I wish I could rewind to my birthday three years ago. I would not have run. I place my hands on my face, bringing them to my knee. Sobbing hard. I wish.
To make it worse, there is no escape from this place. Funny, I'll have to die here...I guess. Being a punching bag, a vending machine for him to vent out his frustration to that bastard, till I forget myself and die. That thought alone is terrifying.
My thoughts were interrupted when a hand touched my shoulder. I shiver, moving away. I look up and see him. I gulped hard.
He stood by the door, looking at me. "Lost in thoughts, sweetheart?" He asked.
Stupid for me to think he'll leave me alone, maybe he was busy all those times he didn't show up. When I offered no response, he started moving closer.
He stayed a foot away from me, looking at me. I stare back. His stares are making me uncomfortable. Sighing, "what do you want, Mark?" I asked with irritation.
His face changed from expressionless to cold. I gulped. "You dare call me by my name?"
I scoff. "At least now I know your name, just as stupid as you. You're no Alpha." I said angrily, I'm tired. Tired of this treatment. What the fuck have I done to deserve this?
He laughed, a bitter laugh. "You know what I can do to you...don't you?"
"You've already done your worst, what else? Beaten, checked. Servant, checked. Chained down, checked. Punishment, checked. What else? What!?" Damn! I'm so frustrated, I hate the way I'm helpless. I hate being this way, to top it up..my mate saw me kissing this bastard, he'll think I cheated on him. Arg!!
He smirks, "someone is angry. I have done all, apart from one. And today, tonight. I'll make you do it, forcefully or not." He said in a cold voice.
The way he's talking and looking at me is not going well with me. What will he do? What does he wa—
He laughs loudly. "Confused? Well then, you'll be warming my bed, Colin." He said with so much venum.
My eyes enlarged. No, never. Impossible. I'm never getting laid by him. Not in this life or next. Never! Fear begins within me…
"Getting raped?" I asked in disbelief. I laughed bitterly. "Never, over my dead body, Mark."
"Watch me," he smirks. "Guards, carry her and follow me." He said to the guards, his eyes not leaving mine.
It can't be, no. I would rather die. It definitely can't be. The guards carried me in their arms, throwing me over their shoulders. I scream, kicking my legs. Do all sorts but they didn't leave me. I started crying. I would rather die.
I dropped forcefully on his bed. He starts undressing, taking slow steps towards me. I coiled up on the other end of the bed. Tears streaming down my eyes. "It's nice...seeing you cry," he said in satisfaction. He enjoys what he's seeing. I need to think of something, anything. I scan the room, looking for any weapon or something I can use against him. My eyes landed on a fruit knife on a small table in the middle of his room. I smirk.I look up at him to see him already looking at me. Confusion laced in his face. I cleared my throat. "Let me go before you regret it, Mark. Now or never." He furrowed his brows. "I saw you crying a minute ago, where is this confidence coming from? Girl, I'm having you tonight." Anger laced in his voice. He starts to unbutton his shirt."Your choice," I gave him a creepy smile.To God, I am scared beyond imagination, I'm very scared to death. But I'll never show it. I have not hurt someone before...even an animal. But today, I'll hurt one.Slowly, ste
Jordan's Pov I hate this marriage, but what choice do I have? I just have to go through with it. It broke my heart completely when I saw my mate on another person's legs, kissing. I mean, I've been waiting for years for her, I disagree with any proposal to get married to another maiden. I felt disgusted with her, I mean..how could she? Like, I didn't get with another lady just because of her and she couldn't wait for three years? Scoff. I'm such a fool, I should have known. Last Friday, I had a meeting with the ministers. Yes, I'm the Alpha. But at times we need the consent of others. My parents and the ministers literally forced me into marriage, I was not happy with it a little bit. I've always wanted my mate. But seeing my mate in the arms of another man is not only devastating but heartbreaking. I mean...why does the moon goddess have to tie me with a cheat as a mate. Hell, I did nothing wrong. Sigh. I've not been myself ever since I saw her with another man, they say l
Stacy's PovStrange after so many years, I still remember the way to my pack. I'm so tired and dehydrated. But I can't relax, I can't risk it. I cross the border to my pack, I breathe a sigh of relief. I'm free, I'm so free, finally. I slid to the floor, crying my eyes out. Crying because I made it out alive, crying because I was not sexual assulted, crying because I'm happy I can finally be with my mate. I regretted that day a lot, the day I ran away. I shouldn't have. My biggest mistake. And now, I really hope he won't reject me and give me a chance to explain myself.After calming my nerves down, I stood up and started walking again. I still don't feel safe till I make it to the pack house. After a few minutes of walking, I saw the building not very far away. From where I am, I can hear the loud banging of music and lights flashing. What's going on? Seems there's a celebration. With the main house full of guests, I won't locate my mate fast enough. I sigh. What a great day today
Stacy's PovI was relieved. He didn't marry her. After he walked out, Mila fell to the floor and started crying. My- Her parents went to her side to comfort her. I smiled bitterly. God, I hate them. I am beyond ecstatic, I just feel the need to celebrate my victory.But I shouldn't get too excited, there's no chance that Jordan might accept me. I walked out of the room. But I didn't go outside the main door. Instead, I found myself in a hallway. Where the fuck is this?"Stacy?" A voice called. I stiff, who knows me? Oh, God. Please help me. Slowly, I turn around and I met with a guy. A guy. Who's he?"Sorry, who?" I asked as quietly as I can. "Oh," he said.He looks somewhat...hurt? I frown. "Oh?" I raise my eyebrow at him. He smiled, "Stacy, where have you been? I looked for you. I missed you." His voice gives away the sadness. He moved closer and wrapped his hand around me. He feels familiar. I moved back and look at his eyes, brown? My father's eyes colour… I opened my eyes wide
Jordan's PovI pace back and front in my office. I've should have called the security but I don't want anyone knowing about this till I know why the fuck she came back.It's been three hours, three hours since the ball, everyone left two hours ago, yet no sign of her. Where did fuck did she go now? Or has she left? I stopped, she didn't...right? I let out a nervous laugh, she wouldn't just leave after she appeared. So where the fuck is she? I groan, running my hand through my already messy hair. Jesus, Stacy, you'll be the end of me. The sun is still setting but no sign of her yet. I should probably give up. She left, she didn't want me. Hell, another heart break. I let out a painful laugh. "Can you at least stop pacing around if you won't tell us what the hell is wrong." Ana said. Yeah, both her and James won't leave me the fuck alone. The 'i wanna be alone' words seems hard for them to understand. I ignored her and continued pacing.Yeah, I should stop. I mean, she left me. I sh
Stacy's Pov"You should walk faster, Stacy." Billy's voice disrupts my thoughts.I raised my head up, seeing I was far behind, I jogged up to where he was. So what if he doesn't accept me? What if he locks me up in a cell? Let's not go there, he wouldn't do that. I mean, I'm sure he didn't mate with Mila 'cause he saw me there. Sigh. Fuck my life.We've gotten to the Alpha house but I was hesitant to go in. I'm sure he isn't expecting me. "Go in," Billy said.I nodded and started moving. I stop in my tracks, I turn back to Billy. He raises one of his eyebrows. I sigh, "What if he rejects me?" I asked him."Do you have any reason for him to do so?" "Not exactly," I sigh; I tend to do that a lot. I'm really stressed. The fact that he caught me on another guy's lap with my lips locked on his, I don't think he will. "I don't know, Billy." I said instead.He rubs the bridge of his nose, "He won't, Stacy. I don't think there's a reason for him to do so." He purses for a while, before add
Jordan's PovI caught her before she could fall on the floor. She looks pale. I touch her forehead with the back of my right hand, she's burning up. I panicked.'James, get the park doctor and meet me in the room next to mine. Now!' I told him through mindlink.'Yes, Alpha.' That's one thing I like about James, he knows when things are urgent. He doesn't ask stupid questions like Ana does. I stood up with Stacy in my arms, I yanked the door open. Using my speed, I ran to the room next to mine. I'd have taken her to the park hospital, but I can't risk it.I don't think I want people to know that I've found my mate, at least not yet. She's yet to explain what she wants, mate or not. She hurt me.I felt the spark as I held her close to me. Fuck the bond.I hurried to the room and placed her on the bed. Within 30 seconds, the door burst open. James and the park doctor entered."Doc, she fainted." I said with worry lace in my tone."Calm down, Jordan. She'll be okay." She moved toward h
Stacy's PovI grunt. Christ, I feel sore all over, my eyes feel heavy. As if a huge block was placed on them. My throat feels so dry. My head is pounding. And my body, don't let me get started with that. Slowly, I opened my eyes. I squirt because of the brightness. I close my eyes and open them again, adjusting to the light. I take in my surroundings, the unfamiliar place. The room was painted in blue and a stripe of white. The big bed was placed at the center, with two bed drawers by each side. On the drawer on my left, a lamp was on the top of it. While to my right was empty. There are three doors. A bathroom and closet and the door to outside. Where am I? IV was connected to my hand. Why's there IV on my wrist? I tried to think back to what happened but that resulted in more pounding in my head. I groan, just what I needed. I tried to stand up but the pain I'm feeling at my back isn't helping at all. I exhaled loudly before giving up and just laid there on the bed.'Where are we
Epilogue.Months later...Third Person's PovThe rumbles of Jordan's chest and him nuzzling against Stacy's neck woke her up on a beautiful winter day. Despite the already shining sun that seeps through the window, it doesn't help the winter air to run chills down her body. She opens her eyes and sighs in content because of how well she slept, which she hadn't had in a long while since she became the size of a whale."You smell so good, sweetheart." Jordan murmurs in her ear, rubbing her already large belly affectionately. She giggles as stubble tickles her neck as she tries to pull away from him."What are you going to do when I'm not pregnant anymore? Will you not like my scents anymore?" She says, a little frustrated. All she has heard from the past nine months is how good she smells. Does he not find me attractive anymore? She thinks."Nah, I'll always love your smell, but I won't be upset when you get pregnant again and I get to smell it for anot
Jordan's PovAll I could think of is where the hell are my pack members? We had a plan and now my mate's going to die.They were meant to be here, why are they not here?What's going on?Letting my heart out in a heart wrenching sobs as I watch my mate struggle for her life, finding it hard to breathe. Choking out blood as she did so, it dribbles onto the floor next to her."Any minute now," Dani says hauntingly as she checks her watch again. My eyes flicker to the men standing and smirking at their success. Success to take someone's life.I can't believe this is happening, I can't believe I'm going to lose her. The next thing I know, an arrow is shot through one of the men's heads, completely startling me. His skull bulges out of his head as blood sputters out, him dropping dead on the floor.Gross.The other two men begin to yell in horror and Dani's face falls into shock. Starting to look around frantically as they realize that I didn't come alone."We are here now." I hear James
Jordan's PovWatching my mate laying on the floor was killing me. I had never felt this level of anger towards anyone before. As soon as I get out of this chain, I'm killing Dani.Her face was right down into the dirt, her body covered in blood. I could barely look at her without wanting to scream.I can't believe they did this to her, I really can't believe they hurt her. She knows nothing about this. Growling, letting my frustration rise. The silver was still burning my wrists and legs as I struggled against the chain."Why are you doing this?" I grit out, my eyes are heavy and full of vengeance.Dani laughs at me and begins to circle around the tree. "Oh Jordan, you were always so full of yourself." "What the hell are you talking about!?" I yelled. "Get me out this fucking chain." Her smile changed to a frown, she came forward and gripped my chin, pressing it so hard. "Don't you dare bark orders at me." She spat out. "Why don't we start the show now?" She smirks."Don't fucking t
Stacy's Pov'Run!' Star shouts in my head.'What?''Run, you fucking idiot.' Oh, I don't have to be told twice. 'I just did.' I can feel her roll her eyes in my head.Speeding off at her words, I ran from Matt with him hot on my tail. 'Run towards the rocky area up that hill.' And I did exactly as she told me, I reached the top of the hill and stopped. Waiting for Matt to catch up with me. He gets before us in jeffy with a wolfish grin on his face.One I'll wipe off."Where would you run to now?" He barks. "It will be pleasing to kill your high up here before the eyes of all." Let's see who will be killing who.But he was right, we are up so high, other creatures can see us if they look up. "Get ready to kiss death!" I shifted and bounced up on him. Star howls and toppling him over, they began to slide down the hill. Matt shifted midway, his back pressed against the sharp rocks as they slid down. The rocks pierces his fur making him howl in pain, he tries to scratch Star's face
Jordan's Pov"Where would she have gone, Jordan?" James asked me and I shrugged helplessly.Pacing around my office, my hands have worked their way through my hair numerous times. "I don't know. She hasn't really ever left the house without me." I have no idea where she could be.Honestly, she could be anywhere right now, I just hope she's safe.Groaning, I slam my hand onto my desk in frustration, then I hear her voice in my head and everything stills."Jordan…"My eyes water just hearing her voice. She sounds scared, I feel pain in my body, someone's hurting her."Baby, where the fuck are you?" I ask instantly."Are you okay, Jord?" James asked, he noticed my lack of focus."I don't know, somewhere in the woods. A blonde got me, she and Matt are working together." She whimpers.
Stacy's PovFear was all that surrounded my body. The blonde woman pulls me towards her by my wrist. Her grip is so tight that I'm sure it will leave a red mark there."Look is all scared," she mocks at me as the other goons inching closer.Goosebumps raise on my body, shivers run down my spine. This is trouble, I'm in deep trouble."I'm so glad that he found you," she smirks at me, "so we can destroy him."They all laugh together…Spitefully.Who are they?"W-who are you?" I slutter.She stopped laughing and looked me in the eyes, "someone your mate messed with." She smirks, "ha, I have a surprise for you."She relaxed on the chair she's sitting on, crossing her right leg over the left. "This is so going to be fun," she rubs her palms together, grinning wil
Stacy's PovShe looks so unfamiliar, her hair pulled up in a high ponytail, she had bright red lipstick on, making her tan skin stand out. The look from her face wasn't inviting.Who's she? Did Matt send her?'Unblock mate, let mate come.' Star chants in my head but I'm too scared to move. I can't seem to think straight.She smirks at me, taking slow and calculous steps towards me, making me look like a prey. She crossed her arm around her chest when she got to my front, "you walked right through into our trap." She threw her head back and laughed. A scary laugh I must tell. Three men emerge from the tree, bulky men.I look frantically at them.They all looked pleased with themselves and panic engulfed me. Who the fuck are this people?They all circled me so I can't escape, "goodness, you made it more easier than I tho
Few weeks later...Stacy's PovIt was late in the evening and I was currently laying across the couch, flickering through endless TV channels, looking to see what to watch.I wanted to curl up and watch a movie with my mate, that's all I wanted.My eyes flick towards the wall clock at the up side, at one corner of the living room. It is after 8, he has been working for the last three hours, he should be done soon, right?Ugh! I need my mate.How pathetic I am. I can't stand being away from my mate for a few hours without missing him.Fucking mate bond.Or is it just me?Arg! Whatever, I'm going for him.I stood up from the couch and made my way towards his office where I know he'll be. I just have to convince him to wrap up his work earl
Stacy's Pov"Again!" My stupid mate voice rang through the training groud. He was waving his way in and out of different pairs and with me trailing behind, helplessly. We have been out here for hours, watching people fight each other over and over until I was sure that I could mimic their moves.So when I'm I going to actually train?" I ask, honestly fed up of trailing after him in boredom. He latches his arm across his chest then looks down at me."I'm the only one who will train you, right now, however, I need to watch them." He jerks his head at the others who are fighting.Why's it that he can only train me? Why can't James or Billy do it?Sigh.
