NALEDI’S POV
How could I be so stupid? I thought as I sat in my cell.
Of course, it was a trap! How did I miss the signs?
Showing me the gun in the compartment, stepping out of the car, and the darned warning he gave. He orchestrated the entire event and I just played into his plans. That bit was clear.
Did I mention how stupid I was?
I shook my head and my stomach growled. I had been here for two days and there was still no show from Caellum.
How was I supposed to grovel at his feet if he didn’t show up?
I scoffed at the thought. Grovel indeed, more like demand to be let go.
I was his mate, not his subject. I’d like to think he would recognise the cursed bond between us and get me out of here before I went crazy.
The prison gates opened and I knew I was having a visitor. Hopefully, It wasn’t another dumbass that wanted to serve me food fit for dogs.
Yes, I hadn’t accepted anything from them. I didn’t need their food. I just wanted my freedom. Was that too much to ask?
I spotted the shadow of the said visitor, and my eye-roll was natural. “Don’t even come close!” I said in my cell. “Take that shit right back where you came from.”
Whoever it was that they sent this time didn’t have ears. Or maybe he just refused to use them. His ears were for fancy.
The man stood before me with a frown on his face. He lacked in the looks department and the frown made him horrid. I could spit in his face and it would look like it belonged there.
He was that ugly.
“I don’t need your darned-” Ugly man cut me off with a snap.
“Listen, Slut. I don’t care who you think you are or what you are capable of doing, but here, you are nothing but a prisoner.” Distaste was written over his face, “And one under my mercy.” He threw me a piece of stale bread. “You have no right to reject what you are given or demand anything more than you are allowed.”
The ugly man spoke like he had been briefed on my refusal to eat and came to whip me into shape, using his black tongue.
I made a barf sound as the bread fell on the floor of my cell. I would step into hell the day I ate that shit. I got on my feet, and walked closer to him, putting a few inches between us.
“First of all, I am not a slut.” I started with a grave tone. “And last time I checked, I was a wolf. Not a dog you can bark orders at and throw me shit for food.”
The veins in his forehead bulged and I could tell he was ticking. Nevertheless, I continued, sizing him up and sporting the gun in his trousers. He couldn’t kill me. That would be treason against his oh-so-lovely Alpha.
However, no one said anything was wrong with me killing him. To my surprise, my heart leapt at the thought of killing one of Caellum’s dogs. Maybe it would teach him not to mess with me, and better still, force him to meet me.
“I heard you were crazy.” The man said, and two other guards joined him, staring daggers at me. “But you are just stupid. Flat out stupid to try to kill the alpha, to reject what you are given, and worse of all, to speak to me in that manner.”
My stomach growled but I ignored the little storm, looking at my nails like they were the most interesting thing on earth. After what felt like a while, I looked up with a yawn.
“Are you still here?” I asked in mock surprise. “Make good use of yourselves and go tell your fucking Alpha that I need to see him.” I gritted, done playing nice with them fools.
I must have touched the lion’s tail because the ugly man suddenly snagged the keys from the wall, and proceeded to unlock my cell. I couldn’t tell if he was crazy or stupid.
Because there was no way in hell that was a smart move. If I say so myself, he just let off the hurricane that will lead to my escape or at least a meeting with Caellum.
“You think you are invincible huh?” Ugly man said and threw a punch at me. Despite my hunger and mild weakness, I dodged his hit and let a smirk rest on my lips.
“Is that all you can do?” I gingered, “Pathetic.”
“You are such a loudmouth.” Ugly man said as he advanced towards me. “I wonder how you’ll talk if you have my dick shoved in your mouth.”
The men exchanged looks and suddenly, two others joined Ugly Man in my cell. I looked between them, stepping backwards.
“Surely your Alpha wouldn’t be happy to see three hefty men bullying a girl.” I managed to joke, seeking a way out. “Be a good dog and-”
My eyes bulged when two men rushed towards me, and held both my arms, forcing me to my knees. “I know you’ve been waiting for this all along, slut!”
Ugly man unbuckled his belt, sagging his trousers. I thrashed around, trying to get out of their hold, all to no avail.
“Undress her!”
They didn’t need to be told twice. My clothes were torn from my body and I was left in my underwear. “You will regret this! I swear you will regret-”
Before I could finish my sentence, I was gagged with his dick. The terrible taste of urine and hair made me queasy and I bit him without mercy.
“You bitch!” A slap followed his words and the next thing I knew, the second man tore my panties, with one hand and used the next to unbuckle his belt.
No way. I heard another belt unbuckle and I realised they were about to gang-rape me. Charged with a fresh will to survive, I thrashed around, trying to break free but it was futile.
A cold hand slipped into my dry core and I felt violated. Buried memories from the dark past flooded my senses and I felt like a child again. Weak and helpless from the vile men of this world.
Just when the other guy tried to penetrate me, I heard a voice from the door, and a delicious sandalwood scent filled my nose.
“What the fuck is going on here?!”
“Alpha..”
