Chapter 57- Back to Pain

I opened my eyes partially blinded by the light of the candle burning in front of me on the table. I blinked several times before registering the place. I was back in the dungeon.

As soon as the thought hits my head I turned my head to my right side, where I last saw Ravenna in this dingy room. Was all of that was just a dream? all of it? I remember we were standing in the middle of the graveyard. She was angry for some reason. Angry? She was furious. She was walking towards me.

And then. And then… “Ughhh.” I groaned as my head hurts like hell. What the hell? For how long I was passed out. My hands were tied again and so does my legs, just like before. dream huh?

My hands were starting to feel numb as the ropes were slowly cutting my blood supply. There was a sudden urge to itch my hands. but I couldn’t as they were tied on the first place.

Everything was dream? I remembered it in bits and pieces. sister, kid Ravenna. devil’s child. Villagers slaughtering them. The more I tried to remember it the more my head hurts like crazy. With the very passing second the memories were started to getting a little dizzy. I know Raveena didn’t want me to remember it.

Wonder what Reed is up to. And Dumeny. I totally forgot about him. Liam, Dumeny and Diaz and other alphas, they all were injured in the fight with rogues. I bet Reed must have found out I was abducted by now. It only had been one and a half day. He will find me, I know. He will.

I heard the footsteps again and I closed my eyes, trying to act unconscious. I remain silent as the chafing of shoes finally stopped. By the rotten stench I can tell without looking it was Michael. The rogue king. I tried my best not to puke or cough in front of him.

He was the rogue king as my last memory served me right. I already saw his face. One thing I can’t figure it out is how could he be alive. Father told me he was killed and the rogues got out of control without him as their leader. It was easy to eliminate them once he was dead.

Before I could think of anything, water hit me like blade on my face. I coughed loudly as I opened my eyes. so much for acting unconscious.

Michael glared me as he stood in front of me with the empty jug in one hand. I bet he picked it up from the table. I tried to remain calm as my body seethe in anger. My hands burn as I tried to break the ropes.

The ropes were laced with silver and wolfsbane both of them are lethal for werewolves. They stings like hell but not enough to dull me from attempting to break them off. How dare he disrespect me?

If only my hands were unchained, I would have cut his head off from his shoulders in one blow. He has quite a nerve to stand in front of me tall as if he did nothing wrong.

“You have guts to sleep despite your position.” He commented as he folded his shirt’s sleeves. His voice was rough and coarse. It look as if he didn’t talk much and use his throat.

He folded his left sleeve and finally looked at me in utmost disgust and hatred. Trust me the feeling is mutual.

“You are daughter of Andrew. Alpha huh?” he said as he eat the distance between us. “At the moment, you are somewhere with no relation to where you before.” my cheek stings in pain before I could register another thing.

I had closed my eyes unconsciously, That, fucker hit me? I bit my lip as my cheek hurts. It was definitely a slap.

I turned to look at him as his face didn’t show a sign of any remorse. His eyes were dead of any subliminal emotion.

“It must be very easy for you from the start. Daughter of an alpha of one of the powerful pack. killing any rogue just for the name of your basic training and fun.” This tine I was ready to receive the another blow. I can tell from the bloodlust. His intent to kill with no doubt was raging at the moment we speak.

He kicked me in the gut, my chair flew at least a metre before I land on my back. my hands were tied at the back. as soon as my back make the contact, I got aware of them as my wrists twisted, taking all the impact of the fall.

Fuck. my wrist is probably broken. It stung. I tried my best not to wince in pain in front of him. Where the hell is Ravenna? I remember she was there before to stop him but now that she is gone, he is torturing me. I won’t call this torture. He is humiliating me.

“Stand up already.” He grumbled lowly as if cursing. I closed my eyes in pain and suddenly I felt the ropes of legs loosened up. I opened them again to see him cutting them off. Before I could say or do something he kicked me again in the gut.

“Good,” Michael snarls, and from nowhere he lashes out, backhanding me hard across the face. The ferocious, unprovoked blow knocks me to the ground, and my head bounces with a sickening thud off the concrete. Pain explodes in my head, my eyes fill with tears, and my vision blurs as the shock of the impact resonates, unleashing agony that pulses through my skull.

“Did you remember how many wolves you killed? How many bodies you shred in pieces till their faces were not recognisable? Huh?” he kicked and kicked one after the another. I coughed blood on the floor but he didn’t stop. Not even to catch his own breath.

I split some blood before speaking my mind. “Ambitions soaked in blood of others will never be achieved, mut.”

“Michael! Michael!” I heard someone calling him out, probably from the outside and it gives me one precious second to reach around and pull my head to look at his face. he was gaping at the wall as if he heard something awful.

He was probably talking to someone in the mind link.

My vision blurred; my head hurts ready to split in two.

“Fuck! when? Send the reinforcement, I am coming. DON’T YOU DARE MOVE BEFORE I COME.” he snarled in the mind link.

He move his gaze to me and I swear my blood turn cold from the chills he was giving me. This was the first time I was scared of him since I was brought here. His eyes turned red as he moved towards me.

“Looks like we both don’t have much time to spare.” He blurred… darkness closed in. shit…

He was at the end of the other side. Darkness consuming him, consuming me. Howls and growls erupted in background before I finally lost to darkness. again.
