CELESTE'S POV:-
I was staring at Jayden, feeling defeated. I wanted my life to end but the torture was too much. I didn't want to endure it anymore. “Please, Master! Fuck my dirty hole with your manhood.” Killing my ego and my dignity, I begged him the way he wanted. I watched his lips curling up in a winning smirk.
“Good girl!” He growled at me as he parted my legs even more. It was painful but I bit my tongue. Never in my life I would have thought that my first time would be with my mate, but he would be raping me. Forced consent isn't actually a consent. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the unbearable pain. He didn't even apply lube inside of me or on his manhood. He wanted me to feel the pain.
“Hey! Angel! Just breathe!” I heard a soothing voice ringing in my ear. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in Hayden's lap. He was rocking me back and forth in his arms. While Hunter was stroking my head. My body was shaking in his arms. They both hugged me together, as if they were offering me their warmth to comfort me.
“Was it a nightmare, or something painful that you had endured in that basement?” Hayden whispered in my ear and I nearly choked on my own saliva. I couldn't say if I had said something while I was lost in that nightmare.
“Be at ease, Celeste. It was another basement where Angel was tortured for years.” Hera spoke in my mind. My mind was too distressed with that painful memory of the time when I had lost my virginity in the most painful way. I remembered I was crawling like a cockroach for weeks after he had done it. He had no mercy on me. I was crying and begging him to stop. But the more I asked him to stop, the more he did it.
I had no idea how he had gotten this much strength in him. He didn't stop for two days straight. And I was so sore after that, I couldn't even pee without screaming in pain. I closed my eyes and my tears dampened the shirt Hayden was wearing. “It was a memory that was so painful, I couldn't breathe.” I whimpered in his arms. I was feeling weak.
I remembered asking him every single time why he was doing that to me. Every time I asked him that question, he went rougher with me. Until I was begging him to stop. He finally told me something that I still couldn't understand up till that day. He told me that it's the pain his women went through because of me.
Hayden lifted me up in his arms as walked back into the room. He gently placed me on the bed. Hunter was holding one of my hands while Hayden had one if his arms wrapped around my shoulders. “You are no longer in that basement. You are free. I know it's impossible for you to forget about your painful past. And live freely.” Hayden whispered softly in my ear.
I hated to admit that their presence was the only thing I was able to breathe at that moment. Hunter grabbed his shirt and covered my naked body with it. “It's better if you sleep tonight.” Hayden whispered in my ear. Fear gripped my heart as I thought about being alone for the night.
“Please, don't leave me. Please, stay with me for tonight.” Before I knew it, I was begging them both to stay with me. I was shaking with fear. I feared that I would have that nightmare again if they weren't around.
“Okay! We won't leave.” Hayden whispered in my ear as they both laid down on the bed with me. Hayden covered my body with a duvet. They were both holding my hands as I closed my eyes. I was exhausted all of the sudden. More than I could have imagined. I thought I was powerful enough and strong enough to face the bastard. But I was so wrong. He was my nightmare and I could barely breathe.
I didn't know how that nightmare had exhausted me. As soon as my head was on Hayden's chest, I started slipping into my dream world. I was only hoping that it would be the dreams I would have, but not the nightmares. I was sick and tired of that man manipulating my life.
The next morning, I woke up in my own bedroom. The bedroom had been completely cleaned up. Sheets, duvets and curtains were all changed. And I was glad that I could no longer smell the blood around. I sat up on the bed and sighed.
The night before, I was very horny. If it was not for that one forbidden word that the twins used, I would have had what I wanted at night. I crawled out of my bed and walked into the bathroom. I had to get ready for the day. I was angry and I wanted to use my anger as my strength.
After my morning business, I took a quick shower. Wrapped in a towel, I stepped out of the bathroom. When I entered the closet, I found a few shopping bags in front of my wardrobe. I looked into the bags and found workout clothes for myself in the bags.
I couldn't help the smile that had appeared on my face. I knew it was Hunter who might have gone out of his way just to get me all those clothes. He could act all tough and careless. But deep inside, I knew that he was a child hiding in the dark.
I changed into the new workout clothes he had bought me. Once done, I walked out of the closet. My stomach growled with hunger, reminding me that I hadn't eaten my dinner as well. Since I was hungry, I decided to grab some fruit and a glass of milk before I could go for a run.
I used to be the fastest of all wolves. Even in my human form, I used to run faster than any of the wolves. It was my specialty. I knew to get back on my tracks, I needed to train Angel's body accordingly. I remember all the lessons I had received from Phillip. Although he had trained me to be the perfect Alpha queen of my kingdom, It was still not enough.
After I was tortured by my own mate, I realized that I needed an Alpha to train me. And who could be better for the job but the twins. I hated to admit but the twins were actually the most skillful Alphas of my kingdom. They were freaks. And if anyone could train me to deal with Jayden and his fear in my soul, it was the twins.
I went downstairs only to be greeted by Hunter. I gulped hard as I remembered how I had asked him to stay the night before. I was ready to give him anything he wanted. My heart skipped a beat and he heard it. The next moment, he turned around. He had that same annoying smirk on his face. My cheeks burned and I looked away. My heart started drumming erratically against my rib cage as I heard his footsteps approaching me. He was standing in front of me and I couldn't meet his gaze.
I whimpered when he leaned forward. “You were not this shy when we took you for the first time. You were not this embarrassed whenever I banged you senselessly. Why are you blushing right now?” He asked me in his usual seductive tone. I licked my lips, trying to dampen them with my saliva.
He took another step closer to me. He pinched my chin lightly and guided my gaze toward his. “From today, either Hayden or I will always be at the Villa with you. These morons failed to protect you when it was their very first job.” Hunter whispered while staring into my eyes.
He removed his hand from underneath my chin. But my face remained as he had settled it. “Brother and I have decided to train you as well. Not just teach you self defence, but to teach you enough so you can be a warrior.” He added in a low tone.
He then turned around and grabbed my hand. He pulled me toward the dining room. The table was filled with all the high protein foods, fruits, boiled veggies, eggs and fresh milk. “The first step is to eat like a cat. You need to get fat, and then with the extreme training, your body will use all that fat to strengthen your body.” Hunter spoke in a low tone as he filled a plate for me with a few slices of steak, a side of scrambled eggs, two slices of bread and a few pancakes. He placed a bigger cube of butter on top of the pancakes.
He then filled my glass with warm milk. Goddess that glass was bigger for both of my hands. I just quietly nodded my head and started eating. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to eat half of whatever was in front of me. But I was forgetting the fact that I had started my own training the day before and I slept at night without eating anything at all. I actually ended up eating not just one but two plates.
Once I was done, Hunter stood up and offered me his hand. I took his hand and he pulled me out of the villa. It felt a little strange to be out of those walls. Maybe because they had grown on me. I felt safe within those walls. But I knew I had to step out of my comfort zone to become what I needed to be for my people.
“We will start up with a simpler task. Now let me remind you, all the men and even women who chose to become warriors in our packs, go through the same kind of extreme training. At first, you will only see it as we are wasting your time. But you are gonna have to trust us. Every single task is important for you. That's how we both were trained to become the alphas of our packs.” Hunter added in a low tone and I nodded my head.
“It's not just the body we train. We also train the minds of our people. Both trainings go together. So you wouldn't just have to rely on your muscle memory. Your brain would be able to think and react faster.” Hunter added as he pulled something out of his pocket.
It was a stone, red yellow and orange like marble. “In the river, you will be able to find this type of bigger rocks. I want you to find those that weigh more than fifty kilos and bring them to me. I am sitting right here. I want at least fifty of these rocks in front of me by lunch.” Hunter gave me my first task. I nodded my head and walked toward the river.
Since he mentioned the word simpler, I actually thought it would have been an easier task. But I soon started to realize how wrong I was. The sides of the river were filled with the type of marble stones he wanted. But the condition of the weight was the only problem I was facing. I was weighing them one after another. I gathered fifty rocks on the side of the river.
One by one, I took them towards Hunter. He weighed them all one after another. He threw a few out, saying either it was too heavy or not enough heavier. Once done, he nodded his head at me. “Now, you need to take them all back and place them all exactly where you picked them all up. And don't think for a second that you can throw them anywhere. This used to be the game my brother and I used to play as kids. We are the ones who had placed those rocks in the river. I know exactly where you picked which rock from.” He barked another order in my direction and I literally held back my growl. It sure had started to feel like he was wasting my time.
