Chapter 5: Evelyn’s POV

Evelyn's POV

My tears kept flowing nonstop as they dragged me like a useless tool.

I should have known I have an ill luck, I'm fated for woe and nothing good.

What was I doing, thinking a noble Alpha would be my mate?

The guards stopped in front of an iron door and one brought out a bunch of keys from his pocket.

He selected the right one and inserted it into the keyhole. I felt my heart leap at the sound of the door unlock and I turned to them.

“Please don't do this, you don't have to put me in here. You can find an abandoned room or toilet or anywhere else but not just here please.’’ I pleaded as memories of the nights I spent in my foster parent’s dungeon started flashing through my head.

“I'm sorry Miss, we can't disobey the Alpha.’’ the same guard that unlocked the door said. He grabbed my arm to push me inside but I held back with my second hand.

“What do you think you're doing?’’ he roared angrily.

“You can't also be heartless, I've been pleading” I yelled back before realizing. I don't know what I'm doing but I understand clearly that I can't be in this dungeon.

“Rick, why are you just standing?’’ he yelled at the second guard who's been still since we got here.

“No…No please!’’ I yelled as they both pushed me in. I shut my eyes tightly, preparing to tumble down the stairs but instead I fell down to the floor with a thud.

Somehow, I'm thankful I landed in the floor even though I slammed my waist and I feel like it's broken, it's better than my foster parents dungeon where I always ended up rolling down the stairs and sustaining thousand bruises all over.

Several times, I got deep cuts on my head and would end up in the pack infirmary.

A thick smell like a pond of dead fishes swam into my nostrils as I made to inhale, gripping my lungs like a hot air balloon.

A deep throaty cough evaded my throat. I kept coughing until I felt my lungs free from the polluted hot air around it. I started gasping continuously, trying to adjust to the stinky air I have to deal with till I'm out of here.

It smells so deep, I badly want to puke but even my mouth is scared to open.

Tears trickled down my face as a part of me started missing home.

Back home I knew how to locate the walls and curl up in the safest part of the dungeon unlike now.

Back home I wasn't thrown into the dungeon for little mistakes. What exactly came over me in Alpha Devon’s bedroom? How did I let him have so much effect on me?

“It wasn't your fault…’’ Blair spoke up in my head and I almost heaved. I had almost forgot she was there.

“Hey, you know this is all your fault right? Why did you call him mate?’’ I yelled at her in my head.

“Because he was actually our mate” she responded so calmly that anger started growing in me.

“How can he be my mate? What makes you think so? You should have at least waited till I was out of his sight before blurting it out.’’ I ranted but she remained annoyingly calm.

“I was just so excited we finally met him’’ she said and I hissed. “That was why you decided to jump into my head right? Now see where you got us, hope you're happy?’’

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean for things to end up like this.” she said sincerely and my anger surprisingly subsided.

“Why didn't he feel the mate bond if he's truly my mate?” I couldn't help the curiosity burning in me.

“He might have felt it but didn't want to accept you, he was truly our mate.’’

‘’Was?’’ I asked puzzled. I've been noticing the use of past tense but I thought she was mistaken.

“He is no longer our mate.” She stated rather too certainly and I wondered what was happening. My face scrunched up in a frown.

“What do you mean? Are you sure you know what you are doing? He probably wasn't my mate the first time and you blurted out nonsense.’’ I fired at her.

“He rejected us Evelyn, the mate bond has been crushed.’’ she clarified and I breathed out in realization.

My heart throbbed in pain as I thought of what my fate would turn out to be.

“So who is my mate now?’’ I asked but Blair remained quiet.

‘’Blair!!’’ I screamed in my head and I think she snapped.

“I don't know yet, I can't tell.’’ Her low voice came and I knew she's sad but I care less right now.

Why am I so worthless? Why does everyone I came around always despise me? I have the worst fate ever.

Everyone is always cruel to me and now even my so called mate. If the mate bond was broken then I might end up spending years in those place since he won't care if I exist.

I might as well just die in here before my new mate show up….if I even have one.

I suddenly felt something creep along my thigh and I flew to my feet immediately. I started panting hard in fear, oblivious of what side to run to.

The pitch black darkness of the room is enough to make even a sharp eyed person believe he lost his sight. I slowly tiptoed backwards, shivering as the cold floor sharpened my instincts on every step.

I stretched my hands forward, trying to make my way back to the door in the darkness when the buzzing sound of a flying cockroach swept through my ear.

A loud scream erupted my lips and I ran my way forward. Thankfully, I reached the door and I started banging and hitting it hard.

‘’Help me please….anyone out there?’’ I yelled, banging continuously and I heard footsteps approaching.
