Angela’s POV

Once Ryker commanded everyone to get out, two hefty men different from those earlier came beside me. They lifted me up from my seats if I weighed nothing. I could feel my feet hanging from the floor as they walked us out of the room

I looked between the two but I couldn’t even see their faces since they were so tall compared to the short me

As we walked past a hall, I saw Zack or maybe someone who looked like him through my peripheral vision. I wasn’t sure if it was him even though I caught a glimpse of his face and back.

I pushed his thoughts to the back of my head when the door to the room was opened and I was thrown inside. I almost collapsed on the bed but I was so quick on my feet that I stopped any impending danger.

“I want to go home.” I murmured to no one in particular. I wanted to see my mom. I missed Reina. I was praying for Brit and I still couldn’t believe I was breathing without Darius. Being without them was scary. I hated myself for not listening and going out to see Zack.

Speak of the devil and he appears, they say. The door to my room was thrown open again and in walked the devil’s spawn, Zack.

I folded my hands against my chest as I took in his form. My heart palpitated as soon as the door was closed, locking us both in. I’m sure he wouldn’t do anything stupid.

“How has the powerful fallen?” He mocked. “How is it possible that the mate of Darius Darkwood is a captive of a rogue?”

He asked no one in particular because I was fucking sure that question wasn’t for me.

“You work for Ryker,”

He grabbed my chin tightly. “King Ryker,”

I managed to push his hand off me. “I’m guessing you’re the vampire in your story,” I confirmed.

He laughed. “You’re really smart, Angela. I never gave you any credit for that as your mother’s therapist,”

“I’m wondering what Darius would do if he finds out who you really are,”

“Darius knew I was a vampire before he brought me into his pack. He threw me out when he suspected I was a member of the Resistance group,”

“Which I’m sure you are, you disgusting pig,”

I pointed at him and spat on the floor.

Something flashed across his eyes. It was anger.

“What did you do to my sister?” I asked angrily. If he was angry, I was angrier. The thoughts of Brit falling prey as an innocent girl to a bastard like him killed me.

“Brit?”

He moved across the room and sat by the table. He swung the chair back and forth like a psycho.

“She was just a collateral damage. I’m a nice guy and a lot of ladies want a nice guy. They all lie that they prefer bad guys but trust me, deep down, they share this unbelievable idea that a nice guy will take them to heaven. They’re tired of having their hearts broken over and over and want to settle for someone who loves them more than they love him,”

I raised an eyebrow at his meaningless words.

“Brittany was one of those girls. She couldn’t let go of a nice guy like me. I wanted nothing to do with her. She was too naive, too innocent for me but she was in love already. I’m just your mom’s therapist, how can you fall in love with me because I sat down to have a conversation or two with you? Right?”

He laughed.

I bit down on my tongue as I unconsciously fisted my palm. My eyes were getting moist at the way he was talking down on Brittany.

“I took her out to dinner once, just once and she was ready to give me her body. Unlike you, who wouldn’t even get moved by my unending gestures,

“I’m not asking you for a tale by the moonlight, you bastard. What did you do to my sister? I’m sure it was you who dropped her off at the gates,”

He smirked. “Trust me, you deserve to know the whole story, Angela, because you’ll end up having the same fate as your sister if things don’t go my way tonight,” he murmured. From his pocket, he brought out a small vial of liquid.

“What do you think this is, Angela? To a wolf, It’s more poisonous than a snake’s bite and more deadly than a loaded gun”

It was a wolfsbane! The bastard!

I began to take several slow steps backward toward the door while still facing Zack. I didn’t want him to get suspicious.

“After Darius threw me out of the pack, your sister couldn’t stand the idea of me leaving her behind like every other foolish girl. She packed her bags and came after me. Then, she realized that not all that glitter is gold. Ryker was already hatching a plan to kidnap either you or your daughter and the

only way to get on Ryker’s good book was to use Brittany to get to you. I love being on the winning side and Darius was already on the losing side. We didn’t think he could make it out alive from Jethro’s pack but he did. Still, that didn’t stop my plan,” he lifted up the vial. “It took just half of this for Brittany to become so pathetic. How much do you think it’ll take to make a mess out of you right now?”

Glaring hard. I answered. “Darius would kill you if you hurt me,”

“Uhn, damsel in distress, aren’t you sweet?”

“I will kill you if you touch me,” I reaffirmed. Darius wasn’t there to save me. The only person who could fight to save me at that moment was me.

He laughed. “I also don’t want to do this the hard way, Angela. The best thing you can do right now is strip for me, get on the bed, and spread those pretty legs of yours,”

A frown deepened into my skin.

What!

I could feel bile rising in my throat. I felt disgusted and stupid. I would rather eat sand at the beach than sleep with Zack.

“What?”

I asked in disbelief. “You aren’t deaf, Angela. You heard me quite right,”.

“My mom trusted you with her health, my sister trusted you with her life and you fucked both up,” He shrugged. “That’s life, get used to it”

The vial was lying on the table and within the blink of an eye, Zack was no longer in the room. I panicked. He was a bloody vampire, he could probably be hiding somewhere.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed me by my shoulder and I screamed. He tried forcing me onto the bed but I kept on kicking and fighting back. He punched me in the face making me collapse on the bed.

“HELP! HELP!” I screamed at the top of my voice. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“HELP ME!”

He covered my mouth with his disgusting large palm and forced a finger into my mouth.

I bit down hard on the finger and he winced. He removed it and stared at me. He was already lying on me, forcing my body down onto the bed with his large weight.

“HELP! HELP ME!”

“Nobody is coming to help you. You’re mine tonight. You have to pick your poison, either me or that wolfbane,”

I shook my head. Iwasn’t going to choose one or either.

“NO! I cried out.

You don’t have a choice, he punched me again in the face.

He brought out a tiny rope from his pocket and tied my hands up. I didn’t stop screaming at the top of my voice.

As he brought his mouth closer to mine, trying to force his tongue inside I bit down on his tongue with my teeth. He screamed and scrambled off me from the bed.

The door was unlocked from the outside.

Suddenly, the lady I met earlier was in the room. She had a faint smile on her face as she looked from me to Zack.

“What the fuck do you want?” Zack yelled.

“King Ryker demands her presence and I have to get her ready,”

Zack was breathing heavily.

“Fuck!” He yelled. “This isn’t over, Angela,” he threatened before he walked out of the room.

I could still feel the metallic taste of his blood on my tongue but the worst thing I felt against my face was my tears that came first before a heavy sob ripped out of my throat.

I wasn’t just crying for myself. I was also crying for Brittany.
