Little Dove

Chapter 18

Emily’s POV

I step out of the shower, with no sight of that sick Sampson guy. Thank goodness, maybe he will leave me alone tonight. I don’t even know what time it is, thanks to my stupid self for leaving my phone in the car. I put on that ridiculous dress he is forcing me to wear and look at myself in the mirror. I look like a w***e. Which is exactly what he wants. I try to pull on the hem to stretch the dress down a little longer but it doesn’t budge, and just causes the neckline to plunge even lower.

Throwing my hair up in a wet bun on the top of my head, I open the bathroom door to walk out and gasp. “I... I...thought you left..” Feeling nervous and scared. He gets up from sitting on the edge of the bed with a smirk on his face and his brown eyes somehow turn a shade darker, looking at my body. “Oh my sweet beauty, you look...delicious. I will enjoy tasting you.” He stalks towards me and reaches for my hand as I snatch it away making him rage in anger.

He picks me up with barely any effort and throws me on the bed as he gets on top of me and squeezes my wrists together in one hand, over my head. “Please... Please don’t do this Mr. Sampson.” “mmm You will call me Sir, do you understand??” He growls in my ear. “Yes, sir. Please. I’ll do anything else, but please leave me alone.”

My emotions betray me as tears start to fall, which by the looks of the expression on his face, it seems to fill his desire even more. He leans into my neck and starts kissing and licking down to my chest. I let out a whimper begging him to stop. His other hand reaches into the nightstand next to the bed and pulls out...Rope?? Oh please no.. please.

Tears pour out of my eyes as he ties my hands to the head board and ties my feet together. I scream “STOP Please!!” He slaps me with so much force, I see black for a moment.

He rips the center of my dress revealing my breasts and stomach. Reaching back into the drawer he pulls out a knife, my eyes open wide in fear. “Please no.. please sir, don’t”. He smiles the most evil smile as he takes the side of the blade and drags it down my side. I scream from the burning pain and it fills him with pleasurable joy. “Please, Ahh, Stop, it hurts!!!”

Suddenly, the bedroom door flies open, “Sir we have company!” a distressed man yells at Sampson. “s**t!!” He jumps off of me and runs to the door, before leaving, he turns quickly to me “We will finish this when I get back my beauty” and slams the door shut.

I lay here tied up, helpless, in pain and loosing all hope. Emily...Amber??? Where did you go? Please help me. You must have been fed wolfsbane and it sent me back into the darkness, I couldn’t reach you. You Need to Fight Emily. Find it in you and fight. I...I can’t. My body...it hurts so badly. The knife, it was covered in wolfsbane as well, which burned your skin. You can overcome this. Are you strong enough to take over? I can, but it would be painful. You haven’t been taught about shifting, it takes weeks of practice to endure the pain in human form. I don’t care, just do it.

My body suddenly goes numb for a brief moment. I can feel nothing, hear nothing, see nothing until I feel a bone in my arm crack. “Ahh it hurts” I cry out. Breath Emily Luckily everyone in the hall is gone and out of the area. More bones crack and the pain is so excruciating, “It hurts so badly, I can’t do this” I scream. You have to accept the bond to make this easier. Ahh, please Amber, tell me how. Repeat out loud, I Emily Grey...... “I Emily Grey accept Prince Phoenix Sterling”. I feel heat, and warmth right before everything goes completely black, and the pain is gone.

Phoenix POV

I hear screaming as my men start to attack the base. I told them to leave Alison to me. She must have shifted and ran knowing my men were here. I will find her, but first I need to find my little dove. All of a sudden I look up at the 4th floor and see a gold light illuminating a window. She has accepted us! Growls Jet. Find her now!!! I can feel someone trying to open a mind link to me.

“My love, I’m coming” I hear. “Emily?” I ask, hopeful. “No, Amber.” Screams are heard from inside the house, however my men have yet to enter the home and the door flies open as Sampson is thrown to the ground in front of me. Over his squirming frightened body is the most beautiful white lycan, just a bit bigger than a wolf but not as big as a typical lycan, with spots of grey on her sides and bright amber eyes. Amber.

A few of my men run to Sampson, apprehend him and take him away as I run to my Mate. Our eyes instantly connect as we circle each other and collide our heads, rubbing our sides against one another. “My love, we need to get back. Emily needs care” Amber says with concern, her gold eyes shining bright. “Did he hurt her?” Jets worry is setting in. “He did, but she will heal with time” “We still need to find Alison, she ran off towards the west border” “We will hunt her down another day, but I am no longer, if we don’t heal Emily”

Emily’s POV

“We will finish this when I get back my beauty” I wake up screaming remembering my tormentor. "Emily...shhh it's okay, I'm right here little dove, I've got you, open your eyes." I hear a familiar sweet husky voice, his hand caressing the side of my cheek. Breathing in his cedar wood scent, I open my eyes and see beautiful steel blue eyes gazing into mine. "Phoenix?" I start to cry, as he wipes the tears spilling from my eyes. "Yes my love, I'm right here".

"Warrior Princess!! You're awake!!" Jaxon strolls in as I smile. "No more little kitten?" I reply back to him, as he laughs. "Oh no, you upgraded after kicking that scumbag Sampson's ass" I cover my mouth with my hands and gasp, as I look at Phoenix's face. "I.... did what?"

"What do you remember Emily?" He asks with worry in his tone, but before I can answer a beautiful tall woman with long black hair, and the most gorgeous steel blue eyes gracefully walks in. "Now, now my dear Phoenix, it's not the time to be questioning your mate. She needs to heal" she says as she walks to me with a sweet loving smile.

"It is so wonderful to finally meet you, although I wish it were under different circumstances." She claims as she places a cool cloth on my forehead. "My name is Claire Sterling, I am Phoenix's mother" she gives a proud smile as she glances over to Phoenix.

"Oh...It...It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Sterling. I ..wish I didn't look like this the first time meeting you" I reply totally embarrassed, closing my eyes for a moment. "Oh please, call me Claire, and my dear, I am so sorry you had to endure this. I always knew Alex Sampson was a pig. Jared is working on dissolving all of our connections with him as we speak."

"and...Alison?" I ask, my voice shaking in fear. "We will discuss that later little dove, I promise." Phoenix claims giving my hand a little squeeze. "Alright now, boys, out of the room. I need to redress her wounds." Claire states as Phoenix stands up and gives me a light kiss on the forehead, "I will be right outside of the door, my love"

"So Emily... I have to apologize to you and let you know that I had to invade your privacy and go through your phone to find your parents number. It was of best interest to inform them of your current situation" My eyes go wide and tears threaten to spill.. My parents. it has been over a week since I have called them, and about the same time I stopped taking my vitamins.

"They must be so angry at me" I close my eyes to keep the tears from falling. "Sweetheart, it is quite the opposite, they were mortified and felt guilty, hearing what you went through. They should be here any moment."
