Chapter 21
Still Bethany's POV
“Why the hell would you sneak on me like that?” I voiced out in anger as I helped her up, checking her body for
injuries because I had thought that she is a werewolf and I had hit her pretty hard on the floor.
“When did you learn how to fight like a ninja and why are you so strong?” She let out in pain as she scowls at me. I
chuckled at her question as I help her dust her body. If only she knows that she is in the most werewolves, then she
wouldn't be asking me that.
“Pm so sorry. I thought it was someone else. I just don't feel safe in this Castle, the guys are so scary." lied through
my teeth. I can't tell her that I thought it was Bianca, I don't know if the omega that Dominic asked to follow me
around is a friend of Bianca, she could rat me out to her and she would know that I consider her as a threat. I want
her to see me as a weak and clueless human, that way, if she decides to attack me, I would have an advantage.
“You don't have to be scared of anyone, my lady. King Dominic has made it clear to everyone that you belong to him.
No one would dare come close to you, or hurt you. Anyone that defies his orders would face his wrath and I'm sure
nobody wants to face the king's wrath, it is never good.” Alaina assures me.
“Good for you Beth, at least you ended up with someone lovable and caring, not some rapist that thinks he can do
whatever he likes with your body because he believes that he owns you completely” Graciela let out with a sigh,
causing our eyes to go wide in shock. I couldn't believe what she was saying did that guy try to force himself on her?
That's totally unacceptable! It is against our ethics and I'm sure king Dominic would never approve of that.
Wait,
Why am I speaking on his behalf?
I don't even know him that well so how could I be sure that he would not approve of this behaviour. For all I know, h
could be a rapist as well, he could be encouraging this behaviour even. I was too stunned to utter a single word.
Alaina was the first to snap out of our shock and she moved closer to Graciela and said,
“That is not true. Marcus would never defy the king, he knows the penalty for r**e, he wouldn't be that stupid, would
he?
I have to inform the king about this, I have to stop this before he succeeded in ruining the king's reputation. The Kin
would never let him go unpunished, King Dominic never encourages such evil,” she said in anger.
“Yeah, whatever; I said dismissively, cutting her short with a wave of my hand. How did she even know what I was
thinking, did she read my mind or something?
“You have to tell me everything Ela, did he r**e you, did he force himself on you?” I asked her softly, holding her
hand to offer comfort.
“I don't care about that guy or his wanton behaviour, I just need to go up to the room and pick my phone, then you
can help me plead with the Alpha to get me a new companion. That guy is a maniac, I just can't stand him anymore.
I haven't seen him down here and I need to get my phone and call my mom. Lucas Dorego was in my house. He
knows where I live and he met with my mom. I don't know what he did to her, I don't even know if she is still alive.
I hurt Marcus while trying to escape from that room, I don't think he would be too happy to see me. You have to
come with me Beth, you have to help me get my phone, I have to call her and be sure that she is doing okay.” She
said Frantically.
Damn,
Why did she have to say all this in front of Alaina?
I still don't know if I can trust her, she could be one of Dominic's numerous admires, like he claims, or she could be
his spy that he wants to use to find out secrets about me. Now she has let her know that someone's after her fe. I
just hope Alaina doesn't end up going against me in the future, she could use this information against me and try to
hurt my friends. Good thing she hasn't mentioned her sisters yet, at least, they are safe, for now.
“Let's go get your phone Gracie, they not to act so freaked out. You look so terrified, one look at you and anyone
would be able to tell that there is something wrong with you. Take off that gloomy look and act normal” I told her
softly.
“You can come with us, or you can go back and report to your king, I don't really care. But try not to create a scene,
please. This is a little issue that we can handle without involving anyone. I'm not asking you to defy your king, I'm
only telling you that it ain't necessary." I told Alaina, hoping she gets the drift and understand that I simply do not
want him to know about this.
“He did tell me to keep you safe and report to him if you are in danger. But this isn't a dangerous situation so, rest
assured, I won't tell him about it” She said with a warm smile. I wonder why she is being so nice. Maybe she is trying
to get me to trust her, then she can find out my secrets and spill them to Dominic. I ain't letting that happen. I pullec
Graciela aside and whispered into her ear,
“Be careful of what you say in front of her, I don't trust her. Never mention anything about Fiona and Ciara and try
not to say anything that she could report back to the king. She may be spying on me for king Dominic, I don't want
him to find out anything about me, so don't say anything before her.” I warned sternly. Ariana stood a few feet
waiting for us, I hope she wasn't eavesdropping with her wolf hearing, she could hate me for not trusting her, even
though she is being friendly with me.
We followed behind her as she led us to his room. I'm sure Graciela would not be able to locate this room if we had
decided to come here alone, 'm not even sure how she managed to find her way down here. The twist and turns wer
just too much and everything looked the same. I guess Dominic was right when he said would get lost in this castle
without a guide. Good thing he gave me Alaina as a guide, I truly would have gotten lost in this Castle.
Dominic,
Merely thinking about him was making my pants go wet. His touch is so gentle, so warm and soothing. I could never
say no to such immense pleasure. He knows just the right places to touch, he knows how to make me feel good, how
to make me scream and beg for more. I can never keep up with him, I keep hitting the edge over and over again as h
brings me multiple 0*****s, rocking my world completely. I want him, I can't deny that fact. I may hate him with all
that is in me, but I still want him, I need him, now and always.
Iwas lost in my thoughts. I kept thinking about Dominic as I walked along with the girls. I had no idea how we got to
the door, I was snapped out of my erotic thoughts by the knock on the door. Somehow, we have gotten to the door
and Alaina was knocking softly on the door. After a few knocks, the door flew open and Marcus stood in the doorway
wearing some shorts, leaving the upper part of his body n**e.
“Hey ladies, what can I do for you?” he said with a warm smile that hides the blackness of his heart. Graciela moved
to stand behind me, that was when he noticed me for the first time and I saw his eyes twinkle in excitement. It came
like a flash, but it disappeared so quickly that I couldn't tell i it was even there or maybe itis just my imagination. I
could remember when they had come to fetch us from the club, he had indicated his interest in me but he couldn't
claim me as his because the king has to make his choices first. Back then I had already known that he is nothing but
a pervert, I was too distracted by my mission that I failed to realize that my friend was leaving with the wrong guy,
the worst of them all. Right now he is looking my way, ogling at my body. He makes it look like he is looking at
Graciela, but I could feel his piercing gaze on me and I know that he has his eyes on me. A part of me wants to turn
back and forget about this whole s**t, but Graciela’s mom is in danger, for all we know, she could be dead already.
We just need to get her phone and then get the hell out of here. I mean, what is he going to do, it's not like he would
hurt all three of us at the same time, will he?
“We are sorry to bother you, master Marcus. The young miss needs her phone, we are heading out to the game time
to have fun with the guys, could you help us get her phone so we can be on our way?” Ariana asked politely. Her lies
sounds so convincing, she was lying through her teeth, with a warm smile plastered on her face and she did not ever
flinch.
“Damn, she’s good,” I thought within me.
“I haven't set eyes on her phone all day long, I would have sworn that you had it with you when you left, did you los
it somewhere?” he asked her, feigning concern, making her look at him in shock. She is obviously surprised at his
behaviour, and so am I. He gives me the creeps. He is exhibiting the characteristics of a psychotic, serial killer. I gues
I've watched Sherlock way too much, and now I'm beginning to act like a detective myself.
“I'm pretty sure I didn't leave with it, it's right there on the bedside table.” Graciela responded to his question,
sounding as calm as she could be at this moment.
“If you insist, Carol. Just give me a second, I'l go get it for you." He let out with that weird smile still plastered on his
face. He gave me a creepy look before turning around to head back inside. He left the door open so we were able to
hear the rambling as he searched for her phone. It took a good few minutes and when he finally came out of the
room, he announced to us that he couldn't find her phone in the room.
Graciela still insists that she left her phone in there, so we had no f*****g choice, we had to go in there and search
for her phone ourselves. Ariana was in front, so she lead the way inside, followed by me and then Graciela followed
closely behind me. I still don't know the full story about what he did to her, but whatever he did must be pretty
aggressive because Graciela was still shaking in fear at his presence. His room is quite large and spacious for a low
life rapist such as him. It is painted with black and grey paint and his furniture, beddings and curtains had the same
colour. He has a huge bed in the middle and a bathroom and walk-in closet by the side. There is a huge tv hanging o
the wall and some were looking equipment lying around.
I heard a silent hissing noise, and before I could realize what was going on, Graciela and Ariana were lying on the
floor, shot with some green substance that made Graciela to pass out immediately, while Ariana lay on the floor,
shaking like an epileptic patient.
“Marcus, what the f**k are you doing, what did you do to them?” I asked, taking a few steps backwards, creating mor
distance between us. He was standing by the door with a smirk on his face, then he pushed the door shut and turne
the lock, shutting us in. With the door Locked, this room is now soundproof, even if I scream at the top of my voice,
no one would hear me.
Damn!
Stupid me!
Why did I even use that stupid spray that always messes with my abilities, I won't be able to shift into my wolf, even
if I did shift into my wolf, I won't be able to fight him off. He is not just a werewolf, he is a strong warrior from a high
ranked family also. I had sensed his aura that day, it is stronger than an average wolf, I knew immediately that he is :
high ranked wolf.
“Well, I just gave them a little potion that would put them out for a couple of hours, wouldn't want them interrupting
us!” He let out calmly, but the lookin his eyes told me otherwise.
“You sick bastard!
Take one step closer to me and I'L f***+g kill you. You'll find me tougher than Graciela, I won't go running off to
anyone Marcus, ll F**+*g kill you myself” I said fiercely, facing him head-on.
“Alexia... Alexia... love the sound of your name, it suits you well, my pet. You're a special one, and I'l be damned if
let him have you alone. You have a fiery spirit, it turns me on. I want to tame you to my liking and make you my
personal s*x slave. ” he said with a burst of sinister laughter, making him look like an evil villain. This guy has
completely gone bonkers. He kept coming towards me, backing me up to the corner, blocking my chance of escape. I
saw a chance of escape when he turned to circle around the bed. I ran for it, climbing up the bed to avoid him by the
side, but he caught my foot and yanked on it, pulling me under him.
“What the f**k Marcus, get off me." I yelled frantically, pushing at his shoulders. He acted deaf and continued with hi
brutal actions, holding me in place to have his way with me. My wolf was fighting to break free, but there is no way I
can break free without exposing us to the numerous human girls around here, besides, Alexia is suppressed by the
spray I used, she would be able to come to my rescue. Marcus wasn't listening to me, he held my hands and bent his
head towards me, trying to kiss me.
I almost gagged at the gesture, it was so repulsive. Having had enough, I head-butted him, hearing as he cursed and
rolled off me. I jumped off the bed, aiming to get to the door and turn the locks to open it, or at least, bang on it as
hard as I can to alert anyone close by. He caught up to me before I could get to the door, a sinister laugh escaped
him making the hairs on my arms raise. I forgot that he is a werewolf, the pain would last because he heals quickly.
“You know... I was going to go easy on you, but I can tell that you like it rough, so I'l give it to you just the way you
want it;” he growled out excitedly. His arm quickly wrapped around my throat, and I breathed deeply in through my
nose, feeling him slowly cut off my airflow. He lifted me off the flow, with his hand tightening even more around my
throat, His hand held on to my throat as his other hand found their way into my shirt, caressing my body and my
boobs. He held me still then he tries once more to lean his head down, bringing it close to my lips. I shook my head
sideways trying so hard to avoid his lips. It felt so disgusting, I kept shaking my head sideways, when, out of the
corner of my eyes, I saw a gleaming ceramic vase which is by the table close by.
“My lucky break," I thought within me. I kept my eyes ok him, acting calm and defeated, making him believe that I
had given up and accepted my fate. I slowly reached over, snatching the vase, and breaking it over his head. He
staggered backwards, giving me a few seconds to run to the door and bang on it while trying to turn the lock open. I
turned the first lock and before I could turn the second lock, he was back on me, pulling me by my hJNDS INE
me back to his bed. I kept screaming and thrashing around, calling out to my mate. I never knew I wo -
him so desperately. He is the only person that I need right now, only he can save me. I was still yelling his name as
Marcus flung me to the be, then suddenly, the door burst open and close there stood my mate, my saviour, Dominic.
“What the f**k happened in here?” someone asked from beside king Dominic, his eyes shifting from me to Marcus. I
could utter a single word, my throat still hurt from when that bastard strangled me. I could only point at Marcus, wh
just stood there glaring daggers at Dominic and I.
“He... he... tried coming on to me, I tried to make him stop, but he wouldn't listen... He... he...
I tried explaining more, but the words wouldn't just come out. I made the mistake of glaring over at Dominic. His fac
is calm. Too calm, like the calm before a storm. But his eyes spoke volumes, he was f*****g livid, seething in rage.
“Dwayne. Call some warriors to drag this motherfucker to the dungeon. I'L be with him shortly, I just need to take my
woman upstairs and make sure she is comfortable. Get Doctor Fred in here too, he needs to check on those two and
when he iis done with them, send him upstairs to my room, he needs to check on her as well”
I kept my eyes trained on the floor, willing the tears to go away. I could hear the glass crunching under his heavy
booth as he walked towards me. I yelped as he picked me up, forcing me to wrap my legs around his waist. I felt safe
and secured in his arms, I did not even realize that the tears were flowing freely down my cheeks.
