FATED TO THE ENEMY ALPHA

CHAPTER 7 - SAVED BY THE ENEMY

NORA’S POV

The men grabbed me.

I tried to fight them off. I tried to run. I tried begging but they were without any emotions.

“I swear I'm not a spy! Please let me go! I don't know what you're talking about!” I cried but the men bundled me up.

The last man arranged the chair and they placed me on it. Then they brought a thick rope and tied my body to the chair. From my chest to my thighs. My hands were the only free ones.

“I wonder why you insist on continuing to lie! No one here is going to buy your little made up story! Don't you get it! Give up on lying already. You tears mean nothing to me!” Dan yelled.

“I'm telling the truth. I have no reason to lie. I have nothing against anyone. I'm not a spy,” I cried but they did not listen.

Dan nodded his head again. “What do you think, Jack?” he asked the creepy guard.

Jack smiled and revealed more of his rotten teeth. “Take out her nails and let's see how strong her willpower is,” Jack responded, and his smile never faltered.

My eyes went wide with shock. “No! Please don't do this to me! Please! I'm not a spy! I've told you the truth!” I screamed.

Dan turned back to me and mirrored Jack’s creepy smile. “Then I shall rip out her nails one after the other until she speaks. You have twenty, right? This night is going to be fun,” Dan agreed in excitement.

He revealed a pair of pliers with pointy ends. He clicked them together and the madness in his eyes grew wilder. “This process is known as denailing.” He chuckled and gestured at the men to hold me down.

My eyes grew wider with shock as I fought to be released. “No! Please! I'm not a spy! I don't know anything!” I screamed but they grabbed my hand.

This was getting out of hand and no one was coming to my aid.

Nala!

But she was nowhere to be found. She was not responding. If I could morph into a wolf now then I could have a chance.

“Nala! Where are you! Help me! Nala!” I screamed inwardly but she totally ignored me. This was not the right time for her to go childish on me. It was either she was still angry or her efforts were going to be rendered futile by these men and she knew it.

“Last chance, who are you?” Dan demanded.

“I'm Nora! Nora Blackwood! I'm twenty five! My father is Derrick Blackwood, Alpha of the the Black Fur pack! And I'm not a spy!” I blurted out in tears. I hoped that they would believe me.

Dan glared at me for a long time before speaking again. “Lies,” he breathed softly.

My expression was claimed by horror. “No! Please don't do this! No! Please!” I screamed in tears but Dan had already made up his mind.

The men stretched my left hand high enough for Dan to do his bidding. I fought! I cried but I could not set myself free.

Dan placed the tool on my nail and it pierced into my skin. In a swift action, he pulled it out.

The shock made me gasp.

I stopped fighting as I stared back at him in disbelief. My body started trembling. Tears filled up my eyes as I tilted my head towards my hand and caught sight of the bleeding index finger. That was when pain kicked in.

I screamed!

The pain scattered across the rest of my body and it burned me like I had been thrown into a fire. It made me remember the first time I hurt myself deeply. I was only seven, eighteen years ago.

“Are you ready to talk now or do you want me to take out another nail?” Dan demanded.

Tears streamed down my face and all I felt for this man was pure hate. My vision became shaky and I knew that another pain like this was going to make me black out.

“How many times. . .must I tell you that I'm not—” I stopped as I felt my voice further break and I knew I was becoming broken. My lips vibrated with the pain in my hand and the anger I felt towards Dan. “I'm not a spy,” I finally said and unleashed more of my tears into the world.

“Then you leave me no choice,” Dan said and gestured at the men again to hold my hand out.

My cries increased. I was screaming now, hoping that they would let go but they did not. I felt the sharpness of the metal as he put it on my middle finger.

He was just about to pull it out when a roar rang through out the cell. It carried authority. It brought fear.

“DAN!” A familiar voice exclaimed after that.

Dan stopped immediately and put his tool away. The person revealed himself and I saw that it was the beautiful Alpha. Just that he looked angry and more intimidating.

My screams died down to soft sobs.

“What did we agree on earlier?” The alpha demanded.

Dan squeezed the plier in his hand hard before gesturing at the men to let go of me. Then he stormed out of the place.

The Alpha exhaled and stared at my sorry state. His eyes softened when he saw my bleeding finger. He slowly approached me and raised my bleeding hand up. He placed his other hand on mine and stared at me.

Slowly, the burning sensation I felt started to flow away from me. It was as if someone was cooling me off with cold water. I widened my eyes when I realized what he was doing.

He was taking my pain away!

There was only one person who had showed me this much kindness before.

It was Damian.

“I'm sorry they did this to you,” he breathed and started to loosen the rope I was bound by.

He stared at me for a long time and I thought that I would drown in his deep blue eyes.

Indeed, I drowned.
