FOUR

Chapter four 

Laura

It had been about three weeks since I have lived at Alpha Devin's pack. What had happened in the past weeks hadn't been something I would have imagined for myself, ever in my life.

After Alpha Devin had sex with me the first night, I had thought that he would somehow change and accept me after that, but instead he asked the servants to take me to my room.

My room was basically a holding cell with a small, a table and a chair. The door was made of thick oak, so I could barely hear anything that was going on outside. The only source of sunlight was through a small high up in the wall that even if I climbed up on the chair, I still couldn't reach it.

I was so confused at that moment and I started banging on the door and asking why I had been locked up, and a servant said that it was because the Alpha didn't want me roaming the palace because people might see me, or even worse I might run away.

I had stayed quiet and waited patiently, hoping that he would finally come to his senses and realize what he had done.

But that never happened.

I wasn't given any food or water for at least two days in a row. My stomach was growling so loudly and no matter how much I begged for food, I wasn't given any till Alpha Devin said so.

He would come into my room every single day and have sex with me. He treated me like I was some vile creature. He never touched me more than was needed for what he wanted to do. He just came in, pushed his dick into me and dumped his cum into me and left when he was done.

It made me feel dirty, but I was still patient with him. He was my mate after all, and there was nothing I could do to change that. 

After a while, I noticed that he started to get increasingly violent with me as I wasn't showing signs of pregnancy. He would sometimes hit me if I tried to resist or if he just felt like. 

My body had gotten increasingly weak over the weeks. I had become pale and I had started to lose a lot of weight and I could feel my health quickly deteriorating.

I was seated in the floor beside my bed, with my knees drawn close to my chest and my arms wrapped around them, staring at the dim light from the setting sun that was coming from the window, with tears rolling down my face.

The situation was becoming too frustrating for me that I couldn't even be positive or hope for anything anymore. Every morning when I woke up just felt like another day waking up in hell. 

The sound of the locks on the doors being opened bragged my attention away from the window. I immediately got up to my feet and stepped back, away from the door, my heart beating fast and hard.

I dreaded hearing the sound of the locks on the outside of the door being opened, because that meant that either Alpha Devin was around or food, but good didn't come so frequently, so I hardly expected it.

The door opened and into the room stepped Alpha Devin. He looked disheveled. From where I was standing, I could smell alcohol oozing off of him. He stumbled into the door and slammed the door shut behind him. 

"Laura!!" He slurred as he looked around the room before his eyes landed on me. I was hiding in a corner, hoping that he would just go away.

"Didn't you hear your name?!" He moved closer to me as I shrunk in on myself. "You don't stay quiet when I'm talking to you. You're nothing more than a cum bump to me, so don't even think that you can do whatever you like."

He stood in front to me and grabbed my hair and pulled me with him. I shouted and held unto his arms and followed him, pulling at them, but they only held unto my hair tighter.

He threw me into the wall in the other side of the room and I hit it and fell to the ground, groaning as the tears that were already falling down my face fell faster.

I got in all fours and tried to crawl away from him, but he got close to me and kicked me in my chest and I fell to the ground coughing.

How can he still be so fast even when he's drunk?

"You good for nothing piece of shit. You can't even do anything right. I brought you in here so that you could get pregnant and bear me a child, but you can't even do that!" He shouted.

"What use are you to me if you can't get pregnant, huh?" He stood in front of me and bent down to take a closer look at me as I groaned in pain.

"But there's nothing I can do about it, right? We just have to keep trying now, don't we?" He smirked and picked me up from the ground by my arm and threw me towards the bed. 

I was really getting tired of this. I felt like giving up.

I laid down on the bed as I stared up at the ceiling, the sound of Alpha Devin's belt buckle coming lose filling the room. I didn't feel like fighting him, I was too weak. My body was at its limit.

I closed my eyes as he appeared on top of me, nor wanting to look at him as he raised my thighs up and pulled my dress up my thighs, but just then, there was a knock on the door.

My eyes snapped open as that had never happened before. There had never been a distraction before, but I was grateful for it.

"What is it?" Alpha Devin groaned on top of me.

"Alpha, your attention is needed immediately in the throne room." The servant said and Alpha Devin groaned again. 

He pulled himself off of me and buckled his belt back.

"You're free for now, but I'll be back after this." He had a dark look in his eyes before finally leaving and locking the door.

I let out a breath that I didn't even know that I was holding and curled on my side, thankful that nothing had happened. I sighed, knowing that he wouldn't come back because he would be tired after the meeting and whatever was so serious for them to interrupt him would take a long time, so that was good for me.

'Hi, Laura. I have something to tell you.' I heard my wolf say.

'Yes, what is is? I'm listening.'

'Don't get angry at me, I'm just informing you of what is going on.'

'What is it?' I asked again.

'You're pregnant, Laura.'
