Rhianna's POV

"Are they telling me the truth? Can I trust them? What do you think, Nia?"

Shit. I almost forgot she wasn't here anymore. I miss Nia right now more so than before. She would know what to say to me, say to them. She would help me find out if they were really telling me the truth.

"Yes. Forrest is right. We will stay until you trust us enough to say what is really wrong. Rhianna... Deep in our hearts, we knew something was wrong and that you were hurting. We came back from Venice when we-" Fabian stopped again, and gave me a conflicted look.

My heart... it didn't feel so painful anymore, and I didn't feel so lonely. They came for me? But how? Why would they do it for someone they barely knew?

"What do you mean? Did you come from Venice for me? Why?" It made me even more befuddled... to learn more about them.

"Just..." Fabian trailed off, looking uncomfortable. I could see that he wanted to say so much, but he was hesitating. Maybe he didn't know whether to trust me

    Rhianna's POV "I don't enjoy hurting you, Rhianna. You just have to learn your place." I snarled and pushed him away from me. Just his closeness felt like a vile mark on my skin, burning me from within. Touches disgusted me, touches that had once been my reprieve. My mate stumbled back and fell. "NO." An ugly look twisted his face. I could see his anger. He wanted to bury me in his wrath for doing this to him, but... he wouldn't. He didn't want to kill me yet. But I did not understand what exactly he wanted from me. He growled as he stood up, his body covered with fur, his eyes glowing red from his rage. I ran to the door, but before I could open the door, he grabbed me by the back of my dress and pulled me forward before throwing me on the floor. "I told you that you have to learn your place with me. I don't feel happy about your transgressions, Rhianna. You are being an absolute brat." His voice was condescending. He talked with me like I was a five-years-old screaming for ch

    Rhianna's POV "I would rather you kill me than f*ck me. Because... when you touch me, I feel like I am dying slowly. I will choose to die instantly, then," I said without backing off. He snarled at me, his eyes flashing murderously and punched the wall. I didn't even flinch away from him. I just stood there, my eyes cold, unwavering. I was even surprised at myself right now. Nia would have appreciated this, appreciated what I was doing now. The last two weeks had finally caught up to me. I had done everything he asked, I had f*cked him because I was so scared... and I was DONE. He looked at me like I had lost my mind and gone completely crazy. Maybe I had, because this wasn't like myself, this was strange. I wasn't this woman. I had never talked back at anyone, let alone my strong, powerful mate. He was the king. If he wanted, he could do everything he had promised to do, but... "Peyton. What about Peyton? You will die and leave her? How can you-" He suddenly looked almost scar

    Forrest's POV "Do you think Theo is hurting her or something?" Fabian asked, still unconvinced by what she said. I wasn't convinced, either."I don't think. I know. He pretended to be a good man with her, but we know he is not the man he was with Rhianna."I knew it wasn't just my wishful thinking that she finally saw Theo for what he was. I had seen the pain in her eyes and I knew it was more than just me shouting at her and being a jerk to her.When she stumbled into me in the hallway, everything in me begged to wrap my arms around her and pull her into my embrace and never let go. It made me angry that I could never do that, never touch her like that, because she belonged to someone else, that she loved someone else. So I did what I always did. I snapped at her like a f*cking jerk. It was not an excuse for being a jerk all the time, but I didn't know how else to do that. I was a desperate fool."You are. We are, and even though we were being an a*s to her... we did it because we h

    Fabian's POV We walked to Peyton's room and knocked on the door. My heart was thundering. I truly wanted to know what was wrong with Rhianna. I didn't want anyone to hurt her. When Theo came back with her, I was ready to be her hero and save her, but then I realized she came here to the castle with him willingly. The only option I had was... staying away and pining for her from a distance, heart breaking everytime I saw her with Theodore, looking so in love. While Forrest was angry, I was sad. I just couldn't imagine how she was his mate, and how the feelings we had for her was not something more meaningful. I knocked on Peyton's door, and a woman opened the door. I had seen her around in the castle, but she was definitely not Anne. She looked nervous and twitchy. I had a feeling something was absolutely wrong. What was going on here? "Something bad. Your brother is a manipulative twat, and you know that. It is your fault to have trusted that he was anything but a jerk to Rhianna

    Rhianna's POV "Don't add anymore fuel, Theo, or I might just burn you down in your sleep," I hissed at him. Even though my heart was shaking from fear and desperation, I wouldn't show it to them. Louisa and Theodore looked stunned by my words. How could this spineless b*tch be suddenly so bold? I could almost read their minds. What kind of sadistic, selfish monster would do something like this to his own mate? I understood that he was cruel, but was this really necessary? I would repay all his debt with interest. I just had to find Anne first. Hatred grew inside me like poisonous vine, begging to kill. Darkness twisted and turned and spread, like vile veins of black and misery, corrupting my brokenness. Theo didn't get it, he didn't understand how everything he was doing was pushing me more and more to the edge. The thread of patience had finally snapped, and I could feel the loud thunder of it in my head. My animal was gone, but I truly felt like an animal right now, thirsting

    Rhianna's POV "Feel what?" I asked, completely confused by what he was saying. "He is your fated mate and he has marked and claimed you, and now your bond is sealed and your souls are connected. When he makes love to someone else..." I scoffed. What Theo did was not making love. He sighed as if he understood me. "...you will feel it, feel the pain of the betrayal. It will hurt your heart, it will feel like you are being repeatedly punched in your soul. You will feel like you are dying," he said in a voice that sounded so desperate. Why did I not feel anything when Theo cheated on me? Did he do something to hide it? I wondered if his deception ran deeper than I initially thought, if his cruelty had started the moment he met me? But why me? What did I do to deserve this? Did he choose me because he thought I would be easy enough to kick and then calm me down? "No. I didn't even feel a pinch of it. I found out he was cheating only because I was trying to surprise him like a fuc

The image of Theo's cold and uncaring expression replayed over and over in my mind, fueling the flames of anger that consumed me. There was no regret in his brother's eyes...The look in Rhianna's eyes, one of gratefulness and dispair made me want to smash the castle down until I found her friend."I think it is Beyden," Forrest said as soon as I walked into Peyton's room. I growled in response and stopped when I saw Peyton looking at me with wide eyes.I expected her to cry, but instead she miled at me, making my heart melt at the sight of her smile. She was the most beautiful little girl and I hated that Theodore was such a bastard to this precious darling's mother. I smiled and sighed as I picked her up when she waved her hands up and down."Come here, princess." I lifted her up.
