Octavia POV
I groaned in pains, as I was thrown roughly on the floor. The men that threw me in, locked the bar, before walking away, leaving me to sort myself out. A drop of tears slid down my cheeks, as I crawled to the door, my whole body aching, as blood kept oozing from my body. The pains in my body, didn’t matter to me, i just want to see my parents, I don’t know how they are feeling right now, I don’t know whether they’re still alive or not.
Just the thought of them, being killed, makes me cringe, and tore my heart into pieces. My whole life had turned a mess, just in a blink of an eye, my whole life is crumbling before my very eyes, just in a second. Now I know that I’m nothing, but a curse, now I know that I’ve always been the problem.
I tried standing up, but winced and fell down again, as all my body aches from the one hundred lashes I was given back there. For how long will I continue to wallow in this pains? For how long will I have to suffer like this? For how long will I have to take this pains? The thought of being beaten everyday till I die, makes me feel like taking my whole life, but how is that even possible, when my hands are tied?
Laying on the bare floor, I allowed my tears fall freely from my eyes, as the thought of everyone, my parents, mother Lia, and Kai, keep haunting my messed mind. I felt my eyelids heavy, and slowly, I closed my eyes, as everything became dark…
Alpha Khalid POV
I watched as she stood, with her whole body ablaze, looking as dangerous and fierce as ever. She looked like she was ready to kill anyone.
After what seemed like forever, she got weak, and fell down on the ground, breathing heavily. She looked extremely weak, and for some unknown reason, my demon kept pushing me to go help her. For heaven sake, what’s wrong with him? Why is he so obsessed with this particular girl? What’s so special about her.
Calling the guards attention, I asked her to be tied up, after which she was given a hundred lashes, while she cried in pains. With every scream of her, I felt my heart tightened in pain, I felt really hurt, seeing her hurt, as much as my demon wanted to stop them, I didn’t let him, as I kept restraining him.
By the time they were done beating her, she was already so weak, and almost dying. She raised her head weakly to look at me, with so much anger and pains on her face, and I just couldn’t help the strong wave of guilt, that rushed through me. As much as I wanted to be strong, as much as I didn’t want to be merciful, as much as I want to maintain my fierceness, which I’m known of, for some unknown reason, I found myself vulnerable before her, and it’s so damn annoying.
“Take her away.” I said, after a long silence, as I turned my face away. It hurts seeing her like this, I’m just forcing myself not to give in to my demon. I’ve always let him controlled me whenever he wants, but now, even if it’s causing me pains, I must restrain him.
The guards bowed, before going to untie her, after which they dragged her away.
I couldn’t help, but stared at them, as they dragged her away. My demon kept struggling to take control, he kept pushing me angrily, but I know better to restrain him.
Letting out a soft sigh, I teleported to the garden to get some fresh air. Once I got to the garden, I sighed, as I wrapped my hand on my chest, staring into space, as I let the fresh air, caress my face softly. For some minutes, I shut my mind from every disturbing thoughts, as I stayed focused on getting the fresh air, and when I got tired, I teleported to my room.
Stepping into my room, I started pacing, as I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about her. Her eyes, her aura, and everything about her. In my entire years of existence, I’ve never seen someone like that, in my whole life, such had never happened, and to know that it came from an Omega, keeps driving me crazy. I feel so humiliated, I feel so mad at myself, that even when I wanted to kill her, my demon won’t let me do it, I feel so angry, that even when I wanna see her punished, hear her scream on pains, and see her tears, my demon wouldn’t just allow me. I tried figuring out what could be the problem, but the more I tried, the more confusing it become.
‘Octavia!” I muttered her name, as I walked over to stand before the mirror, staring deep into my own reflection. I felt my heart, thumping heavily against my ribcage, my whole body, trembling in anger, as I felt my blood, boiling in anger. I don’t know why or who exactly I’m mad at, whether it’s my demon, or the mysterious lady, everything is so damn confusing. I’ve never been this confused in my entire life.
Letting out a soft sigh, I closed my eyes briefly, and threw my head back, as the scene came playing freshly in my head, like a movie. How she dared the guards, her monstrous look, her blazing dark eyes, her deep voice, her dark and intimidating aura, everything came playing in my head, and I just couldn’t help, but wonder who she is.
“You!” I suddenly heard an angry voice, and I jerked my eyes opened, staring back at the reflection on the mirror, but was shocked, to see the reflection of another me, standing behind me, with his eyes all black and dangerous.
I batted my lashes, to be sure I wasn’t hallucinating, but was terrified, as I saw my other image, glaring hard at me, through the mirror. I gulped down nothing, as I turned slowly to confirm the reflection on the mirror, but froze on my spot, as I was welcomed with my own image, glaring hard at me, looking all angry…
