Octavia POV
I forced my eyes opened, but they forced themselves closed again, as they were too heavy to open for even a second. I felt my whole body in pains, bruises everywhere, my once flawless skin, was now filled with nothing, but bruises, and my own blood. Even if the pains were much, I didn’t pay attention to it, the pains on my body was nothing, compared to the ones I’m feeling in my heart, for not seeing my parents. I can’t help, but worry about them, I don’t know if they’re fine, I don’t if he later killed them.
I tried standing up on my feet, but fell on the ground with a loud thud, as more tears came strolling down my cheeks. I wish I could just die, I wish I’m not a werewolf, maybe I would’ve died of the torture. It’s been almost two weeks that I’ve been here, and there’s no day that passes by, which I don’t receive the beatings. Khalid is indeed a heartless monster, I hate him!
My stomach grumbled, and as I clutched it, I almost screamed in pains. My own hands coming in contact with my body, is like I was set ablaze, as all I felt, were pains upon pains. Now that I think about about it, I haven’t really eaten anything these whole days, just the leftovers at times, and at times, I won’t eat at all. I just pray mom and dad aren’t going same punishment as me.
The sound of the door, opening, brought me back to reality, and I managed to raise my head, as I welcomed with the least expected person, mother Lia. Goodness! What’s she doing here? They’re going to hurt her, if they ever got to see her here.
“Mother?” I called weakly, as I raised my heavy head to look at her again, before letting it drop weakly.
“My child. Are you ok? How’re you feeling?” She squat before me, examining my body, while I did, was cry my eyes out, and winced in pains.
“Mother I want to die… can you please give me a poison? I need to end all these tortures, I’m still going to die anyways.” I cried bitterly, as I threw my head back weakly.
“Shhhhh! Don’t say that, you’ll be fine.” She hugged me carefully.
“How’s mom and dad?” I asked anxiously.
“They’re fine, just be calmed please. They’re in safe hands.”
She gave me food, and like a hungry lion, I devoured it, even in my weak state. Too many questions were running through my mind, I wanted to ask her how she got in here, who she is and everything, but I was too weak and had alot on my mind, to even think of asking her anything at the moment, so I just let it be.
After I was done eating, she gave me some herb to take, which I did, before she left in a hurry.
Tears streamed down my cheeks, as I stared at her, working away, I wish she could go show me where my mom and dad are, I wish I can see Kai, but that’s a dream that’ll never come through for me. There’s a slight chance of me, going out of here alive who knows what my next punishment will be like, maybe it’ll send me to the other world.
Letting out a hard quiet groan, I crawled my way to the nearby wall, and clashed on it, as I let my whole weight relaxed on it. I’m so weak and tired…
Jack POV
I kept pacing in the garden, as my heart kept pounding heavily against my chest in anger. Just the thought of all she said to me, makes me feel so horrible. How dare she! I’m gonna deal with that bastard, and by the time I’m done with him, he’ll learn to steer clear off what’s not his.
The footsteps behind me, jolted me out of my deep thought, and turning around to check who it was, I was welcomed with my beta, standing before me.
“Freddy!” I called surprisingly, as a smile formed on my lips.
“Just got here. I decided to come give you a surprise visit.” He smiled, as he hugged me excitedly.
“It’s been a while. Why don’t we go inside, and have some drink?” I beckoned on him, before walking away, while he followed behind me.
We talked about random things, while we walk through the veranda of the castle, till we got to the entrance door, and the guards opened the door for us. We walked over to the balcony of the guest room.
“So, what brought you here Fred?” I asked, as I sipped from the wine that was just served to us by the maid.
“Well, just came to check up on you. Laurie told me you came along, but unfortunately, I wasn’t around. I really felt bad, it would’ve really been an honor, to have my alpha in my house.” He chuckled.
“How would you expect me to visit often, when you and Laurie are always on my neck? Urgh! You two are a thorn in my flesh.” I groaned.
He chuckled.
“Don’t be like that, we just want the best for you. I mean, take a look at Alpha Roxanne, you’re way older than him, and he’s already doing perfectly well with his Luna, talking about Alpha Dylan of….”
“How about alpha Khalid that still haven’t found his mate? Is he not older than me? You see Fred, this is why I don’t like coming to your house, because you and Laurie won’t miss the chance of pestering me for this mating stuff. Look at me, I’m fine like this, do I look like I need a mate?” I scoffed, anger surged through me, as the thought of Moon, crossed my mind. Thinking about all she said to me, and the shit he’s doing with that worthless fellow Liam, makes me detest all these mating shit. Who knows whether he already slept with her. I wonder why moon goddess, would choose to pair me with that arrogant jerk of a girl, she’s so annoying.
“Well your sister told me you already found your mate, what are you still waiting for?” He broke into my thoughts.
Oh no! Laurie is such a jerk, she will never keep her mouth shut…
