Arabella’s POV
I must have exhausted Phoenix and I when we ran off from my previous confinement. I got so drained that I gave out in the presence of the king, going unconscious as I slumped and fell down to the floor.
When I finally woke up, I found myself back in the same room, no, not the same room but a room that looks exactly like the other room. It has the same seats with those damn tubes that are sticking out of it, and I could see the other chair that’s connected to mine, the chair that Alpha smith would sit on as they try to steal my powers and transfer them to him.
It felt like I was never in the woods like I never tried to escape this hellhole. But I did leave this room, didn’t I?
I left this room and I ran into the woods, am sure I did, or am I hallucinating?
“She is stirring, she is awake,” one of the warriors announced, reporting to one of their leaders, I guess.
“You stupid, stupid girl!
You thought you could escape, didn’t you?
You nearly got us all killed, you fool!
One more trick and I swear I’ll rip off your head myself.” the leader threatened furiously.
So I did try to escape, which could only mean that I am not hallucinating. How did I end up here again?
I don’t remember what happened, but I know I had met with some people in the woods,
Oh wait, I remember,
It was the king, I met the king of all wolves, am sure it was him, I could never forget that voice even if I wanted to. That cruel voice that has haunted me all my life. The evil treacherous king, he must have handed me back to the rogues on a gold platter.
Does this mean that the king is working with the rogues?
That’s not possible, is it?
My bonds were made tighter and I could see a syringe that is connected to my two hands and a blue liquid was flowing into me from a sachet that looks like a blood bag. The rogue leader must have caught me looking at my hand because he smirked evilly as he said,
“That’s just to keep you too weak to attempt another escape. Even if the king tried to search for you, your scent would be masked by the potion added to your wolf’s bane. There is no escape for the great white wolf, I’ll suggest you accept your fate and wait patiently for Alpha Smith.
No one can save you from us. We have waited for the great white wolf for a very long time, we have been planning this for so long Miss Wellington. We have several of these rooms built around every pack, waiting for when we would find the great white wolf.” he said proudly.
I wanted to utter curse words at him, I wanted to yell and abuse him, telling him that his plans would never succeed but I just couldn’t, I was too weak to utter a word. Whatever they used in making these blue liquid that is being pumped into me must be very effective and powerful. I could not make any movement, not say a word, I was just weak and vulnerable.
I decided to try and reach out to Phoenix again, I need to know how she is holding up with all this, I need to know that she is fine. As I reached for her through our link, I felt a severe pain in my head that had me screaming out loud. I heard the rogues laughing hysterically at my plight, enjoying my pain and suffering.
“You tried to reach out to her, didn’t you. You naughty, naughty girl. Let me share a little secret with you, seeing as you probably won’t be able to spill it to anyone.
You see, that blue liquid is a combination of Wolfsbane and Wild Mistletoe. Separately, they are both dangerous but when mixed together, they are not just dangerous, they are deadly and lethal. It will not only weaken you and your wolf, it would eventually kill you both.
That’s what you get for being mated to the son of Justin Angelo, you whore!” he spat out in disgust.
“No.. no.. no.. no..” I kept saying within me, trying to get the words out but I just couldn’t, am just too weak, too tired to respond or react in any way. Am going to die here, they are going to kill me and no one can save me.
He said the king would be searching for me but they wouldn’t be able to find me because my scent would be masked by this blue liquid that’s being pumped into my body. I don’t even want to ask why the king would be searching for me, but I’ll rather take my chances with the king.
I am sure that whatever the king would do to me would not be as bad as death. Michael would never let him kill me, I know he won’t.
“Michael,
My Michael,” I thought within me as a warm smile spread all over my face. I could hear the rogues arguing within themselves, asking each other why I was smiling so much, but I paid no heed to their squabbling. My mind was filled with happy thoughts of my handsome mate that brings me so much joy and happiness, my mate that turned my whole world around.
The one guy that never allowed my origin and background to separate us. I wish for nothing more than to be in his arms right now, kissing him all over his body, basking in his warmth, hearing his sweet voice as he calls me cupcake…
Chocolate Cupcake, I kept repeating in my head, then I heard it, I heard his voice in my head, it was vague and distant but I still heard it clearly, very clearly. It sounded like Michael’s voice, it felt like he was close by, it felt like he is here with us and he is calling out to me,
Cupcake!
Cupcake!
Then I heard a loud roar and some thrashing around but I couldn’t see what was happening around me, my eyes were tightly shut when I was thinking about him and now I can’t open it anymore, am too weak to open my own damn eyes. I don’t know what is happening now but I can still hear Michaels voice in my head,
Gosh!
Am hallucinating again!
I can hear his voice and I can feel his warmth all around me as his scent envelopes me, making me feel safe and loved.
“Are you okay?
What have they done to you?
Oh my God, she’s not breathing properly dad, we have to take her to the pack’s doctor.” he said in urgency, then I felt myself floating in the air, it felt like I was flying or swimming in the air,
Wait a minute,
Am I dead?
Is this what it feels like to be dead?
Dear God,
I don’t want to die, I want to fulfill my destiny. I don’t know what is going on now but I really want to unite our people.. I want to end this senseless war, it’s my destiny, it’s our destiny, Michael and I.
