Chapter 4

“How dare you speak back to me! You filthy rouge. Don't you know what you are in this park? You're nothing and you're about to live your worst life ever here. You're going to die and I'll make sure it's by my hands.”

I smirked, spitting out the blood that was forming in my mouth and glared at her, not backing down.

She got more furious and growled at me, claws coming out of her fingers, ready to attack me when Logan grabbed her by her waist, nuzzling his nose in her neck. “Calm down Valerie, you don't need to get angry because of a bitch like her.”

“You need to punish her, Logan. Did you see the way she looked at me? I'm sure she plans to do something evil to me later. I don't like her and I want you to kill her immediately, right now!” Valerie whined.

I rolled my eyes as I watched them, disgust evident on my face. Logan looked up at me, angrily his eyes changing colors.

He growled and stalked towards me. “How dare you disrespect my mate and Luna of my park? He yelled, making me bow my head, squeezing my eyes, and waiting for him to hit me or fling me somewhere.

My head shot up as soon as I heard what he said. Fresh tears brimmed my eyes and I could stabbing pains in my chest.

“What do you me—?” I started to ask but he cut me off with a loud growl. “You don't speak until you're asked to! I gave you rules and you broke them!? How dare you try to question me!?”

I whimpered and tilted my head to the side, showing that I'm submitting to him. I hated that my body was programmed to act that way but I had no choice.

“I think you need to be taught a lesson to make you think straight and know your place here. You think you can just act like you want? I'll make sure you regret your actions today.” He sneered at me.

“No, no. I'm sorry. Please don't. I begged as I started to panic. Images of me being punished in my former park played in my mind, making me struggle to breath. Please, don't punish me.” I begged over and over.

“Shut the fuck up!” He growled at me before yanking me up with force and dragging me by my hair, making me see stars. “Let me go, let me go.” I screamed out but it was like I was talking to a brick.

“That serves you right, you filthy bitch.” Valerie chuckled as I was dragged to God knows where.

“Where are you taking me to?” I screamed, as he dragged me down a stairs, which looked like a path to a basement.

Realization soon hit me as we passed through a door to see different cages and rooms with small windows.

“No!” I screamed out. “You can't lock me up. Just let me go or kill me, you don't lock me up. Please, please don't.”

My plea fell on deaf ears because he just kept dragging me till we reached a small cage and pushed me inside, making me hit the floor hard. The cold, biting my skin.

I stood up immediately and rushed to him, holding his arms. I felt the electricity and sparks run through my body. I've not felt it for a minute before he pushed me roughly away from him.

“I thought we were mates, how could you do this to me!? Can't you feel the sparks? How can you let me be tortured?”

I watched him as he glared at me, his eyes dead, blank and devoid of emotion. It looked like he could see deep into my soul whenever he looked at me like that and I didn't like it, so I looked away, feeling uncomfortable.

He stared at me for a while before he locked the gate and left. For a moment, I thought he was going to hold me in his arms and apologise for everything, telling me he was putting on a show, but a girl can just dream, right?

I scooted to the far end of the cage, wrapping my arms around me, a terrible headache forming at the back of my eyes.

I was dirty, smelling and covered in bruises. My hair was matted and my stomach growled with hunger. I sniffed as I wiped away my tears.

After some time, I heard some footsteps and I looked up, thinking it would be Logan, or just someone bringing me food but to my disappointment, it was neither.

I stared at the person as he squatted in front of the gate. He titled his head to the side, like he was analyzing me. His aura was very off and I wasn't comfortable with him around. I struggled to see his face too, cause it was dark.

“Who are you and why have you been staring at the Alpha with a type of look on your face? It was as if you realized something or you've known each other from somewhere before? Which is it?”

I looked away from him, not wanting to answer because I wasn't sure who he was and Logan already warned me not to tell anyone we were mates.

I broke his rule of talking back to Valerie and he locked me up here. If I should tell this strange person we are mates, he's probably going to kill me instantly.

“You know, Logan has never brought any rogues back home, he killed them right on the spot but you're quite different and I want to know why. Why didn't he just kill you like the rest, huh?” He chuckled maniacally.

“I don't know what you're talking about.” I said, my voice breaking. “I have no idea about what you're trying to say.”

“Oh, I'm sure you do. I know you're mates with Logan. I could see it in your eyes and you don't have to deny it.” He laughed out then stopped abruptly.

“You made a grave mistake by coming to this park, Lily! You should have allowed Logan to kill you!”
