Mia's Pov
We ran as fast as we could through the woods. We couldn't let whomever sent that message catch up with us. The message sent shivers down my spine, I was terrified, and I was sure Miley too was terrified. All I wanted was the truth and to prove my parents' innocence, not die in the process. For such a message to be sent at a time like this, that means Miley and I were onto something, something really close that could lead us to the culprit.
We kept running as fast as we could till we heard sharp rustling of bushes coming towards us, then we came to a halt. We exchanged a glance and started walking backwards slowly and gently till we hit a wall. I turned to see a tall guard at my back, same as Miley. We turned forward and saw a group of guards, same with our sides. We were surrounded.
Some of the guards looked familiar, and it wasn't long before I realised they were from the Alpha's palace, Damien's palace. They were here for me, and they finally caught up with me after running from them for so long. I didn't want to go, Damien would torture me, he would reject me, and he would ruin my life. I needed time to prove my parents were innocent and clear their names. Going to him now would ruin everything, and I am done for.
I struggled to break free from the giant guard's grip with everything I had, but it was all futile and a waste of effort from my end. I couldn't go like this, I screamed, flung myself around with all my might, but I was too weak for the strong guard. Miley, too, was taken captive, and I could see her crying and hearing her cussing the guard so hard, and that made me giggle a little bit, almost forgetting the position I was in.
We soon arrived at the palace. The way to the palace was filled with nothing but mine and Miley's scream and frustration. The large gate flung open, revealing a place so familiar, yet it felt so strange to be here. It looked so different now, but the familiar feeling to it never really left. I was dragged mercilessly towards the entrance of the palace door and shoved into a big wooden box, and the lid was covered, leaving me in a dark cramped and space. I was separated from Miley, and I felt devastated.
I didn't want to be here, but the thought of Miley being with me, beside me, comforted me in a strange way, I felt safe knowing she was just beside me, within my arms reach and now that I was separated from her, I felt weak and devastated.
I felt movement for a while before we eventually came to a halt. I heard muffled voices outside the box but could not make up what I was hearing. The voices kept on talking for a while before the lid of my box flung open. I looked up and saw Rain looking down at me in disgust. She spat on me before walking away. Rain was Damien's cousin. She was the adopted daughter of the late Alpha's brother and happens to have a huge crush on Damien even though they were, in a way, cousins.
I was dragged out of the box by a guard and taken to a tiny room with just one window, at the end of the hall from where Damien stayed, and I was locked inside. It was just like I expected. This would be my new prison from now on. He couldn't put me in a dungeon because I had no real crimes, and the only way he could torture me and keep me secluded is by looking me in a room. I laid on the small bed on the floor and closed eyes shut, hoping to prevent the tears from coming out and eventually slept off.
I was awakened by keys dangling. Someone was trying to get into my room, I stood up and moved to the corner of the room. The door opened, and it was Damien. He looked at me with no emotion and moved close to me without saying a word. He cupped my face in his hands, and the feeling of his hands on my face made me tingle all over. He was my mate, after all.
He brought his face close to mine and kissed me. I was shocked, but I didn't fight back, I also needed this kiss from him more than I wanted him to remember who I was. The kiss was tender, gentle, and soft. He then moved his hand to my waist and held me close. Slowly, the kiss started to get rougher and faster. He threw me on the bed and instructed me to pull off my clothes. I obeyed without any questions, and soon, my bare body was exposed to him.
He looked at my body hungrily, then pounced on me, licking and sucking every part of my body, I moaned out in pleasure in response. He turned my body backwards, exposing my butt to his front. He inserted two fingers into my wet clit and I screamed out in pleasure, he kept going for a while till I felt a hot slash on my back, I screamed out and looked back at him and saw him with a long whip in his hand. He hit me again, all over my naked body and he kept going, I screamed so loud, I cried for him to stop nut he didn't, instead he kept going harder and harder, till I could cry no more.
He finally stopped and left without saying a word. I crawled to the corner of the room in pain with blood dripping all over my body, crying. I eventually stopped crying and started shivering, I tried to reach for my clothes but I was too weak. I looked up at the small window to see if I could see anyone to ask for help, but my eyes were too heavy, and eventually they closed, and I could not move.
