Chapter 21
Camryn's POV
We've been running forever. My back aches from the tight hold of Malka and how long he's been carrying me. The rain had stopped and it was already getting dark. Malka had been stiff and his face is grim since he saw that black wolf. I can feel his anger on the bond making me feel uneasy and nervous. I let out a groan for I can't no longer stand the pain at my back. He needs to lay me down for it really hurts now. Malka looks down at me and I felt that he feels my pain through our bond. He took a deep breath and his eyebrows furrowed before he ordered the others to stop for a while and take some rest. And besides, it's getting dark now and we need to stop for the night and rest. But I don't know where exactly we are heading.
Malka put me down and lay my back on a tree and once again I groan when my back hits the rough tree.
"If you had just behaved like a good mate," Malka said to me and I gave him a hard look.
"If you really care for the shewolf that you force to be your mate! You wouldn't dare to hurt her!" I angrily spat at him. His eyes changed color, his wolf forcing his way to be in control. His jaw clenches and he closes his eyes.
"Don't test me, again!" He screams and he slaps me hard on my cheek. The pain in my back is already unbearable and yet again another pain is hitting me. He grab my jaw as a tear landed on his fingers. His eyes narrowed at me "You will submit to me! A shewolf like you will only yield to their mate!" His face came closer to me "All of you is mine!" Then he let go of me and stands up.
I felt small. Little small at myself. He humiliates me in front of others and hurt me like I'm some kind of a criminal. I sense the rogues' sickening look on me.
'Is it really like this to treat a mate? Be ruled by your own mate and you don't have a say in everything?'
Then I no longer want one! I no longer want to have my true mate if it feels like this! If this is the way to treat a mate!
Then there's no way in hell I would find my true--
My thoughts suddenly stop for I remembered my wolf.
'There's no way I would find him.. but my wolf needs him..'
I heave out a sigh.. but I need you more..
'Whether you like it or not you have to find your true mate!' Said my guilty conscience.
I sit upright against the tree but failed to do so. This is really hopeless. When will I ever heal?
I weep silently.
'I just hope that the black wolf that I saw would save me..'
When I think of him something is swarming inside me making me feel my wolf's little presence. Something tells me that he's not an ordinary wolf like the others.
'I do hope so that he would come and save me.'
I saw Malka start to walk away from me and I felt a little relief. At least, he wouldn't hurt me more for I was already severely in pain.
As I watch him walk away someone grab me by the neck and I was startled which made me gasp. My heart beat fast when someone whispered in my ear and I trembled upon hearing the voice.
The voice I know too well.
"Don't try to make a sound.." he whispered. I was about to scream when he pointed something sharp at my neck "Scream and you will die this instant."
"What do you want from me?" I whispered yell back to him.
"I'm taking back what is mine!"
"You do not own me!" I hissed at him "I'm not some kind of a toy that you can just own and snatch away!"
He thrust the knife deeper into my skin and I yelp for the burning pain that cuts to my skin.
I gulped hard. It was a silver knife.
I closed my eyes and the memory of my father flashed to my mind. How he died.
From a silver knife.
And now, I was in the same situation.
"This is not an ordinary silver knife" then he chuckled grimly "This knife is lace with wolfsbane that can kill you instantly! So try to make a move and you will know what will happen to you!"
My eyes widen at his words as he shoves the knife deeper. Blood trickled down and already the sizzling pain slowly making its way through my skin. I look around me and saw no one.
'Where are they?'
There was no one around, not even one rogue has guarded me! And to say I am their fucking Luna!
No one can see us from here and it's dark now. I turn my eyes sideways but all around me were bushes.
"Now get up and don't try to make a sound!"
I had no other choice but to abide by what he said. I tried to move my body to get up and I struggle hard. I can't stop to let out a groan and making a sound every time I move.
"I said be quiet!" he angrily spat on my ear.
I gritted my teeth to bear the pain.
"You've gone more worst from that fucking rogue! Ha! Alas of you! You will have more!" He chuckled darkly behind me.
We back away from the tree and went through the dark part of the forest. To be kept hidden away from the rogues. My heart still thumps wildly and my stomach churns from the tight nervousness and fear. Still, he holds the silver knife at my neck while he angrily pulls me away. And when we had kept a good distance away from the rogues he then let me go. I let out a deep breath that I was been holding. My knees are shaking and my body still kept trembling from the pain of my wound. Struggling all of my strength to stand still. Once again, I scan my eyes around me. And still no hope. There's no one around and all I see was trees. I look up and saw the bright moon shining above. Thousand of stars scattered in the night sky.
'It's beautiful..'
I hope you are seeing this wolf.
I smiled to myself but was slowly fading.
'My Moon Goddess if you are watching me right now. If you can see what is happening to me please make it all stop. Please don't let this happen to me..'
A tear rolled down my cheek while I look up to the moon.
"Take a good look at it while you can."
I froze at his words and close my eyes hard. Gathering the remaining strength in me and turn around, knees wobbling. As I turn around another sharp pain shook me. Instantly my hands went to touch where I had felt the stinging pain. And my eyes turn to see the man in front of me. Although it's a bit dark, I know his face so well even with my eyes close.
That damn face I wouldn't forget!
He had a menacing cruel smile.
My eyes landed on his side. My eyes widen at what he was holding. When he notice me staring at his hands he raise them on the brightly lit moon sky "I see, you already notice it."
"What did you do to me?" I suddenly felt dizzy and my vision started to get blur and my feet stumbled backward.
"Nothing that could harm you or will not kill you" he laugh evilly.
"What have you done?" My feet kept backing away from him until I felt my head swirling and my body became sluggish so I fell. I tried to raise my head to look at the man that I hate the most but failed miserably. My head felt heavy and my visions are now unclear. I tried to focus and only saw his foot. I close my eyes and heave a deep breath to fill my lungs and refocus my eyes. As I open them, I tried my best to look up and there I saw his face looking down on me.
"Sleep for now my dearest Camryn"
I hate it when he says my name! He had no right to even utter the name my parents had given me.
"I... I so fucking hate you!" I weakly said while he just stared down at me.
"I already know that, thank you" Then he kneel and grab my jaw "And for your information, I simply despised you the most!" His eyes are full of anger and he's in deep anguish.
My eyes are now getting heavy and heavier. I can't no longer stay it open so my eyes shut on its own accord while he let go of my jaw.
Before I could lose consciousness, my mind only traveled back to the day my parents had been killed. It was just like this that I lay worthless and unmove while I watch them die. Died at the hands of the most cruel man I had known.
And I will not ever forgive him! But I lay hopelessly again in front of him!
For once more he had me again by his mercy!
The one and only.
My uncle.
Alpha Ace.
