Chapter 213: What's This Now?

**Alasia's POV:**

I knew this was nothing other than a horrible trick. Why would people do this to me? Why would they push me this far? Didn't they know I was way past my breaking point?! Did they not think I have feelings and that I have experienced enough? And yet, they want me to experience more, knowing what I did? I didn't want to carry on. I didn't want to live, knowing I could've prevented this horrible deed. If only my mate marked me. Then I could've stopped this! But, they wanted to continue to taunt my thoughts with words of my mate. Make me think that he was somehow just fine. I knew that wasn't the case. If I had to say, I was disappointed in myself. I tried to pull away from them, not at all knowing where I was.

"She is ready when you are my Alpha Caine," I heard that same familiar voice speak up again.

What is happening to me? Why am I able to suddenly hear the sounds of other's voices?! It was like I was no longer in a tunnel or in a cave when I heard others speak. It was like they were right next to me. How was that even possible? I thought I was dead or at least dying. What is going to happen to me now?

In that next moment, it felt like I was being lifted off of something. I'm not exactly sure how, because I didn't have the strength to open my eyes, even if I wanted to. I was weak, and I knew it too. It was obvious. I was in so much pain I didn't know how to handle it. I didn't want to exist due to all the sensations I was feeling that were returning to me from all around my body. The more the sensations were coming back to me, the more I wished I was dead as to the pain that came from my lower legs.

Where were they taking me now? I thought I was being carried this time, but where was I going? I had no idea what was going to happen to me now. Well, if I think about it, why should I care, right?! It's not like I had my mate with me.

"We are almost there," I heard a soft and kind-hearted voice say right next to my ear.

Why would anyone want to be sweet to me now? After everything that I have been through, after everything I have done!? Why would anyone bother to be sweet to me or even speak in a kind tone toward me? I couldn't help it when I shuddered as chills ran down my spine when they spoke that close to me. I didn't want anyone to be that close to me. The only one I wanted close to me was my mate, but I knew that wasn't possible. I couldn't help it as tears started to flood my eyes even with my eyes closed.

"Be still," I heard the same soft tone again. "Here we are now."

I still didn't care to open my eyes. There was no point in me doing that. Better yet, there was no point in me even trying. So why should I bother?! Why is this so hard for me to decide? I was just here, existing to wrestle with my thoughts, and that was even making me feel sick to my stomach.

I can't remember the last time I actually devoured anything. Well, anything that might be considered substantial. Other than wet and moldy bread, that is. I can't even remember the last time I actually had a decent drink of water. The men who took care of me didn't care about my well-being one way or another. They just taunted me and said 'I was the one who killed the Alpha'. Why should they care? The fact is, they didn't!

"Alright, nice and easy now," I heard one more time.

The next thing I felt was as if I was lying on something that felt really soft. Was that soft or was that a cloud? I didn't exactly know. I didn't know what to think. To be honest, I didn't even know how to feel or if the sensations that I *was* feeling were accurate or not. I wasn't brave enough to open my eyes, and I knew that.

"Let me get these wrapped up, and then she will need to rest, my Alpha Caine," I heard that other voice a short distance away from me say this time.

What did he want to get wrapped up? Wait, were they talking about me? Why would anybody bother to wrap me up? No one cared about me. It was obvious in how I was treated over this past week. Or longer than that, as time wasn't a relative thing for me anymore. I didn't even know what day it was. Let alone how long I was down in that horrible place they kept me. It was dark and dingy, and it smelled bad, too.

That is when I thought I felt someone lifting my leg off of what I was still lying on. Was somebody actually taking the time to help me, but why? Nothing was making sense. Why would somebody all of a sudden try to show care towards someone they didn't care about? I killed the Alpha, my mate. He was the Alpha of the Crimson Caine if I could even remember that correctly. So why would anybody bother to want to make me feel better or even try to help me by mending my wounds?

I didn't know what to think. I tried to turn my head to the side so I could attempt to look away from whoever was around me. Even though my eyes were still closed, I still tried. To my surprise, it actually felt like my neck moved when I wanted it to. Before when I tried to move any part of me, I couldn't tell if I was moving or not. To be honest, I couldn't even tell if I was crying or not before this. I had no sensation of anything that I knew of.

"Did you see that?" I heard somebody else ask this time. "She moved, she just turned her head!"

Wait, was there yet a third person around me or was that just my mind playing tricks on me again? Why were they surprised? Well, if they were referring to me, then I was surprised myself that I could move and have control over some of my movements. At least I knew I was moving if they were referring to me. I mean, who else would they be referring to?

"All done, my Alpha Caine," I heard that same voice say this time. "If there is nothing else that you require, then I will retire for now. However, I will be back quite early to check on her."

That wouldn't be who I think it is, would it? Could that be that doctor man? I mean the voice did sound similar, but what was his name? I was upset that I couldn't remember who anybody was. The only thing I remembered was the fact that I killed my mate. Why was I so foolish to not have control over my own actions? If somebody else wanted Alpha Caine dead, then he should have had the gull to do it himself. Next time, don't use me!

"Very well," I heard a soft voice say next to me.

My side suddenly got warm. Were they sitting next to me? I guess I could look to see who was beside me. When I opened my eyes, I could not believe what I saw!
