Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T

52. Angel

I am in so much pain I can barely breathe. It isn’t a physical pain; it feels like my soul broke into many tiny pieces. Like I lost someone I love deeply. Not just one person but many at the same time. My heart is pounding so hard that I think I am going to have a heart attack. Not that I care if I live or die anymore. I just want the pain to be over.

Aleks looks at me with anger and disgust. After destroying their stuff, I probably deserved to be treated like I am nothing more than just a cheap wh ore, but did they have to record it too?

Stefan’s phone rings. “Carlos,” he says as he picks up. “I hope you liked the video. Don’t worry, we will return her to you once we

I feel like throwing up.

Stefan has sent Carlos the video of me being humiliated in front of Alekos’ staff. How will I ever look into their eyes after this?

My father probably knows about it already since Carlos and him were very good friends. They probably realized that I lost my “V card.” The shame my father must feel right now must be matching mine.

Reyes grabs the phone from Stefan. “If you don’t want another war to start between the Lords and the Dukes, you better forget about Angel. She is our property now,” he growls into the phone before throwing it to the floor and smashing it with the heel of his shoe, I am just their property, nothing more. My chest hurts even more. Can someone just kill me already? I don’t want to feel the pain anymore “Get out!” he yells at the staff. Everyone rushes out of the living room. Then, looking at Stefan, Reyes asks argrily, “What in the f ucking love of G od do you think you are doing?”

“Letting Carlos know where he can find his wh ore,” Stefan says between gritted teeth.

Who re

Stup id b itch

Shipid cant.

This is what Stefan really thinks of me, what they think of me. They don’t know how right they are.

Alekos runs his fingers through his hair. “F uck””

Reyes grabs Stefan by the collar of his T-shirt. “This is the last time you facking insult our bonded, Reyes sarl into Stefan’s face before letting go of him.

Stefan snorts. “Our bonded? Are you f ucking serious right now? She threw away Emily’s ring! She smashed Alec’s guitar right in front of you. Alekos” room is a mess.

“Stefan has a point Alekos says.

*If you don’t want her, I do!” Reyes says before kneeling in front of me. When his hands reach to grab me, I flinch. What will he do to me now? “Don’t worry, Nena. I won’t let anyone touch you ever again,” Reyes says as he removes the gag and the cuffs.

Liar! Liar! Liar!

Not that I care what happens to me, not after what they did to me. Not after letting Carlos and my father know. Carlos must have figured out where I am. Maybe it is for the best. After he is done with me, Carlos will give me to his men, and in a few hours, all of it will be over. I will be one of the many victims that appear on the NewL

Reyes takes off his shirt, remaining in a white tank top, and uses it to clean my face. When he is done, he puts the shirt on the table and picks me up in his arms, bridal style. I don’t even bother to struggle. “Let’s get those wounds cleaned. I think I saw some glass stuck in your feet.”

ey will get infected, and I will die before Carlos gets to me,” I whimper.

“Maybe they

I don’t care about anything anymore. I just want to die. Reyes’s touch feels cold and strange, adding to my pain.

Reyes takes me to the elevator. Alekos and Stefan follow us. “You are not going to die. I will make sure of it,” Reyes tells me, his voice low and menacing

Stelan gets between. Reyes and the elevator. “If you take her back to the Lair, where we should have raised our family with Emily, I am leaving.”

Alekin speaks next, “Reyes, the bond broke. We can find one who will care about in and won’t trash our belongings. Someone who won’t fight us every moment of the day I made a mistake by thinking the is

me they remind me of how I am not fit to be there and how Emily was that only love, I around me saddenly disappears, and rich brath I force myself to take is pure agony.

“The Lait nevet belonged to Emily. It was always Angel. So, if you don’t want Angel as our bored, that’s fine. I will take her to my apartment and try to repair the bond there. Mefan, let me pass. “

Stelan gets out of Reyes” way. “Don’t come crawling back here when you realize she is not worth it.”

“Tine,” Reyes says as he places his thumb on the elevatan’s button. The door opens, and he enters, Alekos and Stefan did not try to follow.

“We are supposed to be a team Alekos tries to convince Reyes. “And you need us to keep you sate.”

“I only need Angel,” Reyes pushes one of the buttons inside the elevatin. “I know that she is the one. The only one. She is our hellstar. At least mine..and I love her.

Too bad had to break her and the bond for me to realize it”

What is a bellstar?

Alekos” eyebrows inch up, shock weiten all over his face.

Stelan shakes his head. “There are no mone hellstars.”

Alekos is about to say something when the door closes, and the elevator takes leyes and me in the garage,

“Where are you taking me?” Lask when Reyes takes me to his car, My voice sounds so weak and lifeless.

“To my apartment. Stefan and Alekos are the only ones that know about its existence. You will be safe there,”

Safe? What does he know about being sale?

“As long as I am in your hands, I will never be safe,” I say bitterly.

Kryes balances me on his left leg and takes out a remote car key from his pocket. Then, he opens the door to his car and pestly places me in the passenger seat. Why is he suddenly acting like he cares? He fastens my seat belt before getting behind the wheel.

Aleken gets out of the elevator and runs towandi Reyes” car. “Wait?”

“I know I f ucked up, but I will prove to you that I love you” Reyes starts the engine, not waiting for Alekos.

Mour. I saw the hate in your eyes when I smashed the guitar to the floor. You finished on the Blour and spit on my face, just like Aleks and Stefan. I might be a stu pid c unt,” I winced as I remember what Stelan called me, “but I know what that means. Me habéis repudiado. You have forsaken me.”
