Sophia’s POV
I lie awake most nights feeling the pain of my mate sleeping with other women. It has been happening for the past two months and at first the pain was unbearable but now I’m used to it.
My wolf cries in my head the entire time, every night I hear her sobs for her mate and see her tears from his betrayal. I used to cry… in the beginning at least but crying doesn’t help and I don’t think I have any more tears left anyway.
How could he do this? I thought he loved me but if he is sleeping with other women he obviously isn’t concerned about me. I had hope that he was looking for me, that he would come breaking through the door at any moment to take me back home but that hope vanished after the second time I felt his betrayal. Why not the first time?.. well because the first time I thought that maybe he had a weak moment and was so devastated that he made a mistake. Obviously that was not the case. He sleeps with someone every night. It’s like he wants to punish me, he knows I can feel it. Any mate can feel their mate cheating on them.
I find myself wondering if it’s different women every night or if maybe it’s the same women. Is he in a relationship? I have to find a way back to him but this place is like a fortress.
AHHHHHH……… I can’t help the horrible scream that comes out of my mouth. Everyone jumps up and runs over to me but I can barely breath. I’m gasping and screaming, unable to stop myself. My body feels like it’s on fire, I grip my neck which is where the pain seems to be radiating from and when I removed it and looked down there was blood. I screamed louder if that was even possible. The pain intensified until I passed out but not before hearing someone say “her mate bond is breaking”.
Darkness that’s all I see and sadness is all I feel. I don’t know where my wolf is, I tried calling out to her but there is just silence. I don’t know how long I have been here and I don’t know what to do or where to go. It’s so dark I can’t see my own hand in front of my face and I’m scared about what else may be here. All I can do is lay here.. exposed.. afraid.. alone..
Naomi’s POV
I’m sitting here next to Sophia’s hospital bed hoping she will wake up soon. I don’t know what is going on but I know she was in a lot of pain and her mark was bleeding. I’ve never seen anything like that before and it terrified me. What could have caused that to happen?
I sit there for another hour before the doctor and the Alpha walk in. I bare my neck to the Alpha and ask if I may speak. Once he gives me the okay I ask the doctor what happened. He looks at me sadly and says “her mate marked another and broke their bond”. I felt my whole world spinning and suddenly out of nowhere I threw up on the Alpha.
OH MY GODDESS!!! Alpha I am so sorry!! I drop to my knees and wait for my punishment but I just hear him sigh and I look up to see his eyes glazed over. Oh no he is mind linking the warriors to come get me and punish me I know it. I start sobbing for multiple reasons.. one I deserve to be punished, because of me Sophia has lost her mate and is a slave and two because I threw up on the Alpha. I’m so mortified right now.
At that last thought the door opens and in walks my creepy stalker Alpha Cody. I sigh “of course” I know he heard me but he chose to just smirk at me, he then looks to the alpha and starts laughing.. hard! The alpha just growls and leaves, I assume to go change.
“How is she” he asks me
“Not good” I tell him
He sighs “you should get to your chores, we don’t want the alpha to be more upset than he already is”
I just nod and with one last look at Sophia I exit the room and head off to get my work done.
