Basement

Basement
Kyley was stirred awake by the creeping coldness of the floor. As she shut her eyes open laying on the floor, her head throbbed in severe pain. Setting sight at the dark surrounding, she instantly became alarmed as she quickly pushed herself up to find out where she was.

Clang! Clang!

Her eyes constricted at the familiarity of the place she was in. She looked down at her hands, legs and neck that were bound by chain cuffs and instantly traced the chain all the way back to the wooden board on the walls.

Kyley gasped in shock as memories flooded her mind. She couldn't help but tremble in spot as she realized just where she was.

She was in Jason's basement!

Kyley's heart thrummed in panic and fear as she quickly looked around, wishing she was only having a nightmare.

However, she remembered vividly just how Paige had suddenly appeared in the cabin and hit her unconscious.

This meant that she had been brought back to the Moonblood pack residence?

Kyley's heart shook in panic at this thought. She moved herself up to sit with her back to the walls, and wrapped her arms around her knees. Feeling somewhat scared, worried and anxious as she had no idea what was to come for her now.

She could already envision Jason walking into the basement anytime soon, and the more minute she spent thinking about it, the more her heart grew in frightful angst.

" Darren... Where are you?" She muttered with a painful expression. Deep down, she knew he wasn't coming anytime soon.

With the only source of lighting in the basement being the small bulb that hung in the middle of the room, Kyley noticed a short bloodied and wounded figure lying to the side of the room in the darkness. He laid there lifeless without making the slightest sound.

Kyley's heart trembled at the sight of this, and wondered if it was Alphonse. She wondered if he'd also been found and brought back to the pack as well to be dealt with.

However, the man didn't seem like Alphonse as he was of slightly slimmer figure compared to Alphonse who was bulkier and more stout in size.

Nonetheless, Kyley's heart pounded in fear as she was still in disbelief at the nightmare she was currently living in. Everything had been just great until today when Darren left the cabin.

Now everything that could go wrong had went wrong!

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Kyley's heart froze when she suddenly heard the sounds of several footsteps coming from the stairs that led up to the door of the basement. As though they were tolls of doom,she instantly knew she was in for it.

She quickly darted her eyes about in thought as to what to do, and she came up with the idea to try and stall for time.

' What am I even fighting for? Darren won't be here anytime soon. What do I stand to gain in stalling for time?' Kyley became downhearted at this thought as she realized she had no help coming. She was all alone with no one to help.

Kyley's heart sank realizing she actually was defeated.

Creak!

Just then, the door was pushed open and three figures emerged. The one who walked in front of the other two stared down with his cold dark eyes that seemed lifeless.

Amidst the dimness of the room, Kyley instantly looked with panicky hearts at these figure, wondering just who they were. Although she knew deep down just who these people were.

After all, seeing the dark shades of his red hair, she already knew that it was Jason!

' He's here!'

Kyley's face paled and her heart shook. Her head rang as she fell into a panicky state.

She knew that Jason wouldn't spare her!

" Take that fool away from here!" She heard Jason say grimly as they walked down the stairs. The two others rushed in to pick up the short man laying lifeless on the cold floor and hauled him away afterwards.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Slam!

When they left, Jason went towards the side of the room where there was a small wooden platform held and fastened unto the wall by two chains.

Kyley knew the platform quite well, after all, she had memories of it.

On the wooden platform were several torture equipments that reminded Kyley of her past. Her eyes froze and trembled in sheer fright seeing Jason approach it.

She watched as Jason picked up each of the items that she could barely name. He observed them for a while before placing them back down. He seemed to be having trouble making a decision which one to pick.

Kyley's heart shook as he picked each one, her gaze reminiscent of fear as they imagined just what Darren would do to her with each of them.

Clink! Clank!

The only thing that remained amidst the silence was the metallic clings as Jason picked up the instruments, observed them, and placed them down.

When it seemed like Jason wouldn't say a thing, " First of..." He said putting down the plier in his hands and shot a glance towards Kyley.

" Let's talk about that mark on your neck"

Hearing this, Kyley's expression froze and she shuddered frighteningly.

...

Paige walked out of Jason's room with her legs slightly shivering and her whole body aching like heck. She frowned deeply as she grimaced in slight pain at every step she took.

After the intense bed session with Jason, Paige felt complicated and had a weird feeling about it all. It wasn't what she had expected, not in the slightest.

Paige had thought that the romance between herself and Jason would be just as she'd always dreamt. A slow passionate one.

However, it couldn't be any less like it.

Jason was out and all inconsiderate as he rammed her roughly without giving concern as to how she felt. He choked her, pulled on her air, slapped her, bit her severally, and even used his claws on her.

And most annoying was how he grunted Kyley's name and cursed at her while doing all of this.

Despite warning him to slow down and stop doing these things, he never stopped.

Paige felt pain all over now as it felt as though Jason hated her when he made love to her.

It was quite ironic really, and she believed that things shouldn't be this way being their first time. Paige couldn't help but start to think that Jason just wasn't her ideal person as even her wolf started to see him in a different light now.

She looked down at the black leather collar that Jason had only earlier tied around her neck. It had a small rope that he'd pulled her around with, and Paige just didn't like any of it.

However, she only put up with it because... Well, it was Jason.

All her life she'd believed that he was her mate.

But now, Paige started having conflicting thoughts about wanting to be his mate as she couldn't even put up with one more night of such torturous lovemaking.

She wondered if she hadn't made a mistake, and pondered if Kyley wasn't right about love having nothing to do with pain.

Paige feared that perhaps this was the person Jason was. A side she didn't know about and had only now come to find out about.

' Or could it be that he's mad after seeing Kyley? But why me. I'm supposed to be his mate' Paige stared at the floor in thought.

' Mate?' Paige couldn't help but feel downhearted after using that word. He didn't even mark her nor bond with her!

All he did was use her to satiate his own lust.

Paige was smart enough to realize that something wasn't right.

However, she still had her uncertainties.

She convinced herself that perhaps, Jason thought she was the rough and tough love type, and that was why he acted like that?

Despite being a tough werewolf lady and looking like the type of woman who had such a kink, Paige actually wanted to be soft and putty in her man's gentle hands.

She wanted slow passionate kisses and lovemaking, not some rough shagging like wild animals.

In the end, Paige sighed and decided to have this conversation with him first. She didn't want to jump to conclusions.

Standing in the hallway, she suddenly saw Terry and Igor carrying a man away on their shoulders.

Paige couldn't help but furrow her brows even deeper in curiosity. She looked towards the door at the end of the hallway which they seemed to have just headed out from.

' Could it be another traitor?' She wondered just who the man was as he seemed pretty battered.

' But more importantly, is that the basement?' Paige pondered in curiosity.

Since Igor and Terry were coming from in there, she believed Jason must be in there too.

Curious, Paige looked around cautiously and moved towards the door at the end of the hallway.

Just as she neared, she heard the faint voice of Jason resound through in a dull muffle, " First off... Let's talk about that mark on your neck"

Paige frowned hearing this and couldn't help but glance behind her once again to check if nobody was coming. Then, she reached a finger to sweep a few strands of her short hair behind her ear and placed it near the door to eavesdrop on Jason, knowing damn well who he was speaking to in there.
