CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

I cannot say how long Alden and I remain in that bed because it is as though time does not exist while we are there. We do not let one second waste. If we are both clearly trying to catch our breaths, we pause and before I know it, we are stuck together again like glue. More than anything, it makes me happy that Alden is clearly impressed by the fact that I can keep up with him. Every time he says “Good girl,” I just feel the urge to make him even happier. At some point, he lies on his back and I place my head on his chest as he gently plays with my hair. It is in this blissful position that I fall asleep.When I wake up, I am disappointed to find myself alone although I am impressed that Alden managed to leave without waking me seeing as I am a very light sleeper who can be woken up by the sound of a butterfly flapping its wing outside my window. I get up from the bed and pick up the nightgown that has been set aside for me and put it on. As I try to walk back to the bed, I feel a cr

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

The door to my room opens and I am not surprised to see the three servants come in. I small part of me is disappointed that it is not Alden who walks in but a bigger part is glad that it is not him as I am not sure that he would want to be around me in this condition.“We trust you had a wonderful rest,” Knox says. “Where’s Alden?” I ask hurriedly to which all three servants furrow their eyebrows at me.“Master Alden is resting in his chambers,” Teon says.“Okay good,” I say with a sigh. “Take me to the garden quickly. I need to make sure that I do not run into him.”“Okay,” Teon says with a nod and I can see that despite their compliance, they all look concerned.I don’t know how long I am planning to avoid Alden for but I will give it the best I can. I truly do not want him to see me like this and be grossed out when whatever is going on between us has just gotten good. If a mere man like Brad can have such a strong reaction, I can only imagine how much stronger Alden’s will be.I

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

In Alden’s study, he shows me a large book containing the history of his people. He tells me it was written 2500 years ago and as I sit next to his table and flip through it, he devours me with his tongue underneath my dress. At breakfast, while I eat pancakes and drink orange juice, he grazes my nipples with his teeth and fingers my entrance roughly. At lunch, he carries me all the way to the garden and takes me in the pool with the water splashing around us. At dinner, he pushes all the food off the table and chokes me as he penetrates me until the legs of the table threaten to give in to our weights.“I have been waiting for you for far too long,” he says as he releases into me. “You are more special than any woman I’ve ever met.” If I wasn’t so busy trying to catch my breath, I too would tell him that I have never met anyone like him and that I have also been waiting for someone like him. In fact, every second of this still feels like a dream.We are in Alden’s chambers. He’d brou

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

I peel my eyes open and the piercing light immediately slices through my consciousness like a knife. I try to clench shut my eyes again but the intensity only increases, and soon I am left with a splitting headache. I lay there motionless, feeling the luxuriously soft sheets contour to my body. The only sound of air is my struggling breaths. When I manage to loosen the shackles of the sheets with my right foot, I open my eyes one more time, blinking involuntarily in order to adjust to the changing brightness before me. I keep taking long pools off air, telling myself that everything is going to be all right and I don't need to panic. It's the breathing exercise that stuck with me since college.I am in a dark, eerie room with gothic features that is so strange, it feels like I'm dreaming. Torches burn at the corners of the room to reveal countless artifacts, each casting an eerie glow around the room. My skin crawls with fear as I look at the walls and spot a distorted painting of a d

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

I gasp for air, my chest heaving with the laborious effort of drawing breath. Hot air leaves my mouth as a loud whistle and my vision blurs until the monster is only a shadowy figure in front of me. A spark of rage ignites in my chest and I point right at him with a fiery accusation. He takes multiple steps back, confusion evident in his expression, but I barely notice it lost as I am in the throes of a full-blown panic attack.“You need to try to calm her down, she doesn't seem rational ,” he says to the three miniature monsters and closes the door behind him with a dull thud as he leaves the room. I want to run after him and demand to know why he is keeping me here, but I can't seem to move. My body is aching and I feel so exhausted all of a sudden.Herb cautiously approaches me, fear and caution warring in his eyes as he takes slow steps towards me. It's as if time has stopped and I have no will left to resist; I watch silently as Herb, one of the miniature monsters, reaches out a

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

My heart nearly stops beating as Alden speaks to me. A chill of terror runs through my veins. I am a fortress of unanswered questions. What does he mean I am his? What does he mean he is going to make me remember all that we shared? And what does he mean he won’t let me leave?A deranged laughter bubbles up my throat as I challenge him. “You cannot be serious, right?” I hope to keep an air of amusement so that maybe, just maybe he will let me leave unharmed. But no, this man is not joking.He stands twice my size and with one grip, he can break me into pieces, but deep down I have a feeling that he won't hurt me. This thought is ridiculous, because he is a monster, but despite that obvious fact, I am certain that I am not in danger when he is around. There’s no way I can outfight him and win so all I have are my wits and persuasiveness. “Tell me this is all a joke,” I beg, knowing that it's futile.“Do I look, to you, like a person who is likely to entertain the idea of joke?” he says

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

We reach the pool and I don't even bother to check if it's safe to swim-all I see is the clean, bubbling water before me, beckoning me in. Without thought or hesitation, I begin to undress myself before the startled servants. My movements are almost automatic as if my muscles are acting of their own accord. When I'm completely naked, I step forward and dip a toe into the water--a test of assurance that soon becomes a full-body plunge into the depths.A shiver runs down my spine as Alden's commanding voice echoes through the garden. "Leave us," he says. I jerk my head in his direction, and see him lounging like a lion on a bench, a tree to his right. I feel exposed, so I hug my arms across my chest tightly.As commanded, the servants slowly retreat from the garden, leaving us alone. I remain rooted to the same spot – perched with my arms across my chest, foot still half submerged in the pool–as Alden watches me from his perch like he holds dominion over all of creation. He is a beast b

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

When I query Herb about Alden's whereabouts, his vague answer sends a shiver of dread down my spine. I haven't laid eyes on Alden since he submerged me in the pool and although it has been only a few hours, it feels like days have gone by. His parting words reverberate in my mind and I've been having strange visions since then, making it impossible to stop thinking about him. He is a monster, but I desire him. We have this unexplained connection that brings us to each other, the link that I can't really explain.From the garden, Alden let me find my way back to the room without calling for assistance. “You wouldn’t leave me,” he said with an eerie conviction that left me captivated and uncomfortable at the same time. As I made my way to the room, my legs felt heavy as if some invisible force was trying to hold me back from fleeing.I can feel the walls of this room press down upon me as if they are closing in around me. It's almost as if a familiar comfort is trying to surround me and

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

“How on Earth did I end up here?” I inch closer to him, feeling the distance between us shrink. “I remember leaving my home in search of the mysterious creature that lived atop the mountain, and I remember running up the path. But nothing beyond that is clear.”“Well,” Alden declared, striding towards me. I could feel my legs quivering beneath me. “It was purely by chance that you stumbled upon this castle and I admitted you in. We felt an instant connection and eventually it became undeniable. We couldn't resist any longer and we made love multiple times.”A lump forms in my throat and I shift awkwardly on my feet. Alden must see how much his words affect me because he has a wicked smile on his face and just continues looking at me as though he wants me to try to speak. I refuse to give him the satisfaction of seeing me squirm, so I suppress the lump in my throat and stand up straight. "Go on," I say with a forced level of confidence.“After a while, you expressed an intention to go

CHAPTER THIRTY

“Unexpected quest?” I press. Alden ignores me, running around the room in a frantic flurry, gathering books, reinforcing locks and looking really disturbed. “Alden! Talk to me!” I grab his attention, and he stops in his tracks, facing me with a face contorted with worry.I expect him to say something and explain the situation, yet he changes his mind and calls out for Herb instead. “No! Please don't leave me here alone. I don't want to be stuck in my room again,” I plead, but my desperate plea goes unheard. Herb saunters into the room and narrows his eyes at the glowing orb. His face reveals that he needs no explanation for what is about to happen next.“Please accompany Cathy to her room and make sure she stays there,” Alden says.“Am I a prisoner here?” I hiss through clenched teeth, my fury bubbling like a boiling cauldron. He cannot be serious and I am not planning to move, so I fold my arms over my chest and continue to stare at him.“It is for your own safety, you have to trust
