Hey, I live my life with the motto 'be kind' so I shouldn't have to say this, given its an over 18's story but apparently I do! I have had some rather rude comments lately on my story. If you have an issue or are no longer enjoying it, this is a reminder that you are NOT obliged to read my story, and I urge you to just unfollow it and remove it from your library. BUT remember there is a real person on the other side of the computer and this is her baby! I am sure you would not like it if we insulted things you have worked hard on! So as the saying goes; if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all! So please keep your unnecessary comments to yourself! It's been a blast but PLEASE move on!
Aurora POVHearing the heavy footsteps creek along the old hallway floorboards outside my room; my heart pounded wildly in my chest. There were only a few reasons anyone walked along the top floor of the house; it was either to come to torment me, or if they were feeling gracious, they would throw me their leftovers. Although most of the time, it was days old, stale and riddled with mould; I ate it like it was a 5-star meal! Never had I known hunger like this! And then there were the daily visits by Luke, with the fucking darts he shot at me from the doorway, laced with wolfsbane and fuck knows what else. I haven't heard from Ava or even felt her since the night we tried to escape. Making me think there had to be long-term effects to the amount of shit they kept putting into my system. Given that I had barely healed from the beating the night in the parking lot and numerous others, they enjoyed giving me whenever they were bored or pissed off. I was starting to wonder if I would eve
Aurora POVRunning my fingers up my achy neck, the dried blood from last night stuck to my skin, making the hairs at the nape of my neck pull uncomfortably. I felt like utter crap, dirty in so many ways, tormented by hunger and disgust. Running my tongue over my teeth, I almost gagged at the filth I felt coating my pearly, not-so-whites. "As if I am gonna die looking like a gutter rat!" I groaned through an insanely dry mouth, shaking my head in defeat, Luke's words still ringing in my head. I knew I had no one to blame but myself for Hugo and Alec not coming to save me, but it didn't make the sting of being abandoned any less painful. Chewing the inside of my lip to stop the tears from falling, I leaned my head back against the cool metal of the radiator and let myself ponder for a moment how different things would have been if only Alec and I had been allowed to stay married. We could have all been so happy if Hugo had found a real mate and not obsessed over Alec and I. "I wonder
Hugo POV"Come on, Piggy! Give me the name of the traitor, and this will all be over!" I sighed, dropping the blooded blade on the table at my side. I had kept the bastard down here for over a month, attached to a device of my making that kept him alive no matter how much I tortured him; whenever his heart gave out, it zapped it back to kicking again!Not even death would stop me from getting the info I wanted!"Going once." Picking up a corkscrew, I twirled it between my fingers, waiting for a response."Going twice!" I grinned, attacking his knee with the corkscrew and twisting it; the room filled with his shrill screams. "Ah, music to my ears!" "I'd have stuck it in his eye!" Jason ridiculed from behind me, but I could hear the tension in his voice and knew he wasn't enjoying this; however, as my eyes gazed over at Maxwell, I noted that he was! "That would have pierced his brain! He is no good to me then!" I responded to Jason as Piggy stopped squealing and spat at me, chuckling
Aurora POV I knew I was playing a dangerous game; there was every chance Simon would see straight through my manipulation. I just hoped the fact my body was naturally responding to his touch and presence sold the story, no matter how dirty it made me feel! We had been standing under the shower spray for a few minutes, and I had allowed his fingers to roam over my hips and up the planes of my back without a word. I was enjoying the shower and couldn't believe how something as simple as a shower felt so damn amazing! Leaning my head back, I took deep gulps of the water, letting it heal my tight throat and fill my empty belly. "So, how long have you been working for Luke?" I asked, marvelling at how much better I felt already. Keeping my back to Simon, I arched a brow, feeling his hands pause in their pursuit of my curves. "I don't work for him!" He snapped, gripping my hips and pulling me back into his muscular chest, drawing a groan from my lips. "But he is your boss?" I asked
Alec POV"Are you out of your damn mind?" I roared as Hugo threw the phone onto the table in frustration, my mind running a million miles an hour. I knew he was angry at how things had gone down with Maxwell being called in, but I knew what I was doing, and I shouldn't have to explain it! I am the fucking Alpha!"You always were rash! But fuck!" I screamed, running my hand through my hair. "It is usually just your head on the line! But Now!! Your impulsiveness might have just cost us our only chance at getting her home! Without fucking bloodshed!" I bellowed, grabbing the glass off the side and lunging it across the room. "What's wrong with bloodshed?" Hugo asked casually, something passing between him and Jason that made my blood boil. He was up to something, and I - his Alpha was being left out of the loop. "There is a time and a place for it!" Maxwell interjected, snapping my head around to look at him, not appreciating his input."Yeah, like now... or when your mate and mother o
Aurora POVWaking up slowly to the distant sound of chatter, I opened my eyes, ignoring the thumping behind my eyes, to see I was back in the room I had occupied for the last god knows how long but no longer chained to the radiator. The plush feeling of warmth and comfort under my back told me I was on the bed, and the ache in my arms and legs alerted me to the fact I was restrained. Quietly attempting to pull my legs, I felt fear prickle the back of my neck; realising I was tied at each ankle, I knew I would find each arm stretched in place, too. 'Great!' I muttered inwardly sulkily."Really?" I heard Ava's voice rattle through my head, confused."Ava!" I gasped, feeling the overwhelming sense of hopelessness evaporate. "Shit, am I glad to hear your voice!" I groaned. "Aww love ya too, Aurora!" She chimed with a slight chuckle. I could sense she wasn't at full power, but anything was better than nothing right now. "Last thing I remember is... the car park... How long have I been
Hugo POVNever in my life had I been rendered speechless; I always had something to say and felt every bastard within earshot needed to hear what that was, but standing in the doorway to a filthy room that stank of piss and rotten flesh, it was like I had never been taught a single word! My eyes locked on the tiny form of Aurora, naked apart from the bruises that dressed her skin most in different stages of healing; she looked like she hadn't eaten a meal this whole time. Clenching my fists at my side, hearing her ask if the males were dead, the hope in her frail voice broke me, and it took every part of me not to walk back down those stairs and remove the fuckers head and throw them at her feet as an apology.The fact she had been left to suffer this long because of my actions enraged me. Jason had tried to get me to see that none of this was my fault on the journey down here, but he hadn't seen the shit I had pulled recently. This, unquestionably, was a consequence of my actions.
Alec POV"17:07 Two minutes later than when you last checked the damn thing!" Maxwell snorted from across the room. Covering my watch back up and straightening my suit, I continued to walk around the room. I had been pacing for hours. I understood and supported what Hugo had done, but it didn't make me any less nervous. The more I think about it, the more I realise how selfless the move was on his part. If this goes tits up, and there was every chance it would. He would be blamed, and he alone would face the consequences. "Will you just sit down!" Maxwell snapped, closing the book he was reading. Ignoring him again and continued to pace, Hugo's warning of Maxwell still lingered in the back of my mind, and I was itching to find out what the smug bastard was up to, but there was a time and place for that challenge, and it was now when my brother and beta was off hunting our girl. "I get it, I do!" Maxwell started to say, rolling my eyes as I looked out of the window. I let him drone o
