Nalya.
I didn't know how long I had been in darkness. My body was weak, and I couldn't move my limbs. The wolfsbane was taking its toll on me, and I noticed the blood that streaked down my nose.
" Wife, you're awake," Arlon's deep voice said. I snapped my eyes in his direction. He was leaning against the wall with a bottle of whiskey in hand.
" I'm not your wife," I spat out the words like they were acid.
" We got married with your father's blessing," he sneered. I wanted to growl, but couldn't as my voice was strained and dry. I needed water, however, I didn't want anything from that man.
" I don't remember signing any marriage papers or mating with you," I coughed. Arlon took steps towards me and squatted. He roughly gripped my cheek and opened my mouth, spilling contents from his bottle down my throat. It burned, and I coughed again. I was gagging.
" Better," he sighed. I glared at him. " I should do that again. It reminds me of when you had my dick in your mouth,"
He laughed cruelly, and I was disgusted. I found the strength to sit up,
" I'll never be yours. I'll never let you use me as you please," He hit me again just as those words left my lips.
" Really?" He stood up and unbuckled his belt. I shook my head, no, tears filling my eyes. He crouched, and ripped my dress, leaving my breast bare. He caressed them, admiring them. They were swollen because I didn't feed my son for hours, and when he squeezed them, milk dribbled out to his face, and I gasped. Arlon was pissed and slapped me. He gripped my hair and put his dick in my face.
" Suck it, you dumb bitch!" he roared. I shook my head, and he gripped my mouth, forcing his length in my mouth, and I bit him hard. His scream echoed in the room as he pushed me against the ground, my head landed against the hard floor, and I winced.
In anger, Arlon kicked me, throwing insults at me.
" Boss!" An urgent voice called, and someone was pulling him off me. My head was bleeding, but soon darkness overcame me.
I woke again to a throbbing head and was startled when I saw who was standing over me. It was Marley, I pulled my ruined dress over my chest, but it did nothing to cover me. He smiled like a creep and gave me a bottle of water, but I refused to take it.
He crouched down and caressed my leg. My body shook slightly at how intrusive his touch was.
" Don't touch me I hissed,"
Marley's eyes were malicious. He stopped up, " I'll have you soon like I did your sister. I'm patient, it's my middle name," He winked, and I growled when he mentioned Kaley. This man was a despicable bastard. He walked out of the room, and tears rolled down my face. I was missing my son and mate so much. I cried silently but decided I couldn't wait for Rhaegar to find me. These men would do anything, already, Arlon is promising to rape me. My body was sore, and I had bruises all over, but I had to force myself to stand. Hissing, I managed to get on my feet, but my knees buckled, and I almost fell to the ground. I grabbed the wall for support, and with every step I took towards the door, my body felt like it was on the blaze. I listened carefully, the rogues were talking about how to leave this place undetected as all roads were closed, and guards plagued the area. I couldn't let Arlon take me with him. I peeked outside the door, like everywhere else it was dark. I made my way slowly in the opposite direction, I wished I could run or walk faster, but my frail body wouldn't allow me.
I compelled myself to go even faster, they were at full strength and would fight easily.
" Boss! She's gone!" I heard. I almost stopped and surrendered to a cruel fate, but I was a mother now, I had a son to raise. I felt my wolf regaining her strength, so I pushed forward and faster. With my new faint senses, I was able to find the exit. I cried when I jumped to the ground, and thorns pierced my feet.
' Run, Nalya!' My wolf shouted. She was still weak but was strengthening me. I ran through the forest but I could hear footsteps hot on my tail. My nerves were all over the place, and fear gripped me. He would kill me once he found me. I was struggling with tree branches and roots. I noticed a huge tree that had a cave on my far left covered in moss and ran toward it. I entered it, but it wasn't big. I squeezed there and sat in a fetal position. My heart was beating out of my chest.
" Little girl!" I heard Arlon shout. He was growling, and cursing.
" I'll fuck you before I kill you!" he shouted, he was like a mad mind.
From where I sat, I could only see legs wandering. I covered my mouth with my hand, not wanting a whimper to escape me.
" Where the fuck did she go in so little time," I heard Santos' voice.
" She must be hiding around," Marley said, growling. He sighs in exasperation and resumes his search. They were circling the area, and I saw a pair of legs stopped right at the entrance of the tree cave.
" Your heart... is beating so fast. Anyone who listens carefully will find you," It was the voice of Arlon's third. I whimpered, tears rolling down my face. They found me. He was silent, just standing.
" I know it's hard, but steady your breath, and get out of here five minutes later. I'll lead them away," he whispered. Why did he help me? Was it a trick? The legs walked away, and later, I couldn't hear them anymore. I stepped out of the tree cave, making a run for it, but I was falling. I was getting weaker with each step I took. I could shift if I would but my wolf was weak due to the wolfsbane.
I stopped for a bit, out of breath. I prepared myself to get up and leave, but someone grabbed my shoulder roughly.
" Found you," His voice made me frantic. Arlon was riled. I tried to crawl from him, but he grabbed my legs, turning me roughly on my back. A cry escaped me, but I still kicked him with my legs. He slapped me, and blood spattered from my nose and mouth. I needed to survive, I couldn't die, I told myself as I used all my power to fight. Survive, survive, survive.
" Why do you make it difficult," he grunted. His eyes were black, his wolf was in charge. He put me in a chokehold and banged my head against the as he cut off my air supply.
" You bitch, do you know how what you've cost me?!" he growled in my face.
" You're not fucking leaving me again," This man was truly obsessed with me and would kill me before he released me. As his hands tightened around me, my eyes closed, strength eluding me, but he suddenly loosened his grip, and I gasped for air. My stomach churned when I felt his hand between my folds. His companions arrived, and I saw a grin on Marley, and Santos' faces. The other man's face was watching in disapproval but didn't do a thing to stop Arlon. Dread settled within me as two of his fingers invaded my womanhood, I suddenly felt so powerless and drained. His fingers thrust into me, and I sobbed quietly, shutting my eyes. This was happening. Arlon unexpectedly stopped, and I opened my eyes to look at him, he was alert, his face horrified, and I heard deafening growls just as darkness overtook me.
