Enigma

⚜ Chapter 1 ⚜

The cries of the male followed after the whip coated with silver made contact with his bareback. But that did not stop the other man from whipping him again, if not it only encouraged him to hit stronger. The men laughed as they saw him struggle through the silver chains that bound his hands and feet, betting how long he would last. Blood covered his body, some dried some fresh out of the wounds. The room was filled with cheers, laughing faces as if it was some kind of a party.

In the room filled with the chaos of men entered a girl in her twenties. All the men stopped their activities and bowed their head in respect.

"Enigma, just in time" The man with the whip is his hand cheered the girl but in return, the girl only glared at him. But that did not stop the man and he came forward with a victorious grin. Enigma ignored her twin brother and eyed the man chained to the silver.

"Beautiful isn't he," Her brother went up to the man and roughly grabbed his face. "He is the beta of the Moonshade pack. Beta Kurt "

Enigma ignored the lustful gaze his brother was giving to the man. It was no secret her brother was into men but it still did not stop him from having fun with women. She was disgusted to call this man her twin brother. But Titus, her brother was equally not fond of her either. More then a family, they were much of enemies since birth.

"Beta of one of the strongest pack here at our mercy" Titus said and brought his nose near Kurt's neck inhaling his scent. "He smells divine" Titus elongate his canines.

Kurt started to thrash around from his grip resulting for Titus to growl.

"Enough Titus" Enigma said is a calm voice. Titus looked at her in annoyance.

"Let me enjoy sister" he glared at her which she returned with a low growl.

"Mark" she called out to one of the guards who was among the crowd. "Take him to the cells, make sure no one goes there without my permission". She said while looking directly at Titus' eyes.

Mark followed by two other guards silently followed her command and unlocked the silver chains. Kurt who still hadn't seen the girl who saved him from the torture looked at the girl. The eye contact was made for a slight second before he was dragged out of the room. But that mere second was enough for her eyes to be engraved in his memory. Eyes that would scare anyone who looked directly in them so what was the feeling that raised in his chest.

Kurt was not the only one who felt it. Enigma was also in a trance because of the new feeling that was born inside her. A feeling she never felt before.

"What is your problem?" Enigma was broken out of her trance when she was pushed back by her brother. She stumbled back few steps before she regained her balance and growled at her brother. She was caught off guard that never happens.

"My problem? I was saving your sorry ass for when fathers come back tonight. What do you think father would think when he finds out the beta of 'Moonshade' is dead and he did not get any useful information out of him?" That shut Titus and everyone else in the room.

"Idiots" Enigma rolled her eyes and walked past them out of the room. Titus glared at the place she was standing moments ago. His eyes changing colour and his nails dug deep into his palms.

He always hated Enigma, always waiting for an opportunity to get rid of Enigma. He hated that she was getting all the limelight, all the praise from her father where he tried so hard to be the perfect son. Enigma knew this hatred he had for her and she did not try to reduce it, in fact, she sought opportunities to ignite the fire even more. In her view, she was doing him a favour by keeping him away from all the psychical and mental torture she went through.

Enigma made her way to the cell instead of her room. She stood on the other side of the silver bars and watched the man laying on the ground groaning in pain. She turned to Mark who was standing beside her watching him.

"Make sure no one comes here" Mark nodded and went away following her words.

Mark, the only soul who knew about the kind heard behind the cold face. He was Enigma best friend, the only person she trusted.

Enigma unlocked the cell and went inside. Kurt who was aware of her presence flinched away when he heard her footsteps. Enigma sat beside him and folded her legs. Kurt back was facing her so she could not see his face but she was okay with it. Knowing she would be more ashamed then she already was. She just stared at his back that was filled with raw skin, blood still oozing out of them.

"How did they catch you?" She asked void of any emotion and looked away from his back. Instead glared at the wall burning holes in it.

Kurt who was stubbornly hasn't said a single word since he got here somehow felt relax in her presence. He wanted to talk to her, complain to her like a child complaining to her mother.

"The surrounded my mate" he muttered hoping she heard his words. Enigma ears perked at the word mate. She was angry they got the advantage of his weakness.

"She was pregnant. I had to save her"

Enigma turned to him to find him staring back at her. His brown eyes staring into her red eyes. Showing soo much pain yet at the same time, relief that his mate was safe. She looked away from him unable to stare any longer and got up.

"There will be a celebration party tonight," she said and walked to the door "the guard will be minimum. Whatever you do just try not to kill Mark" with that she left.

Kurt looked at her as she disappeared behind the wall.

Who was she? And why is she helping me?

Mark came back to him and gave a smile, a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"There is a huge window at the end of the cellar hallway. It has silver bars but I don't think it would be any match to the strength of a beta" Mark threw a pair of glove towards him. With that being said, Mark also left to get to his position leaving Kurt in his own confused thoughts.
