I will never be yours

chapter 2

Selena pov

I'm jolted awake by some cold water being thrown at me while I'm still lying on the cold floor. Sucking in some air I try to move my arms and legs, but every limb in my body hurts, and my wolf hasn't been able to heal my body yet, I can't reach her. Knowing I still got wolfsbane in my system, I have to try and survive until it's out and she can heal my body. Right now I'm nothing more than dead weight, and all I can do is move my fingers.

"Get up, rogue w***e!" One of the guards barks at me, and even if I wanted to, I can't get up.

I don't even have the energy to answer him with the pounding in my head.

A foot hits me in my stomach hard, the pain takes my breath away, and I try to gasp for air, slowly opening my eyes to see the room is light when a dark, blurry figure stands leaning over me.

"Just pick her up and take her to the room!" Another voice order, and my guess is they will take me to a torture room. The guard bends down and picks me up with his hard hands. I get tossed over his shoulder, and I have no resistance in my body at all to try and get away.

All my blood travels down to my face when I lie over his shoulder with my head hanging low. The swelling only makes it hurt worse when it starts to pulsate in my ears, and I will faint if they don't let me down soon.

"Place her in the chair and make sure she is properly fastened!" A voice booms, and I feel his aura, I know he is a higher ranked wolf and probably the beta or gamma to the king.

The stench inside the room hits my nose and it's worse than in the cell, and I can smell fresh blood and body fluids strongly in here. Understanding they probably interrogated someone else in here just before they came to pick me up.

I get tossed in a chair and the guard takes my hands and fastens them to the chair. My arms get locked with some ropes, and all I can move right now is my legs. Trying to blink several times to get my vision clear when the guard squats down and starts tying my legs.

It doesn't take long until he is done with one of my legs, and I can't move it a single bit when I feel too heavy in my head and just let it hang when he is fiddling with the other leg.

"You can skip the other. This b***h won't put up much resistance, she is almost dead anyway!" The voice says again, and I just sit there with my head hanging and close my eyes for a second, the pain makes my head pound, and I have a hard time concentrating.

The guard let go of me when I hear him get up and move around in the room. He is fiddling with something when some tools are placed on a table, I can only guess what they will use on me.

"Bring the hammer. Let's start with breaking her fingers!" He says when a lump is formed inside my throat. It's nothing unusual, and if I could avoid it I would, but I have no chance to escape from here right now.

Feet start to move over the floor before I feel his presence close to me, my hands start to tremble, and I try to prepare myself for this. I know the pain will be worse in my body when they start.

His hand comes down and grips my face only to force my head back. Keeping my eyes closed, I just breathe for what's about to come.

"Tell me where your leader is!" He barks, and even if I knew the answer, I couldn't tell him with how swollen my tongue is. His pressure on my cheek increases when I don't answer, and his anger washes over me while I hold my lips in a tight line.

"You won't tell me? Let me make one thing clear! I will get it out of you in one way or the other." He barks, letting go of my cheek, and it only takes seconds before I feel the hammer on my pinky finger, crushing it under his hard blow. I can't hold back a whimper when tears form behind my eyelids, no matter how hard I'm fighting it.

I try to breathe through the pain, my stomach turns upside down, and I have to empty whatever I have in it on the floor when the pain gets too much.

With my head hanging forward, I empty what I have in my stomach when my puke runs down my legs. An angry growl is heard before I suddenly get hit in my face so my head whips to the side.

"f*****g w***e! That's because your puke hit my shoe!" His dark, angry voice booms right in my face when I almost faint from the blow and don't know how much more I can take without my wolf.

I hear more men walking closer when I just try to stay conscious. I beg inside my head this will be over quickly, but the second his scent hits my nose, I know my time is up if he finds out it's me.

They come closer, and I hear them walk into the room, stopping a bit away when a chill runs down my back, knowing he is standing just steps away from me. My head is hanging and I hope with how badly I have been beaten, he won't recognize me, he might not even remember me after all these years since he forced me out of his kingdom.

"Got anything out of her?" His dark voice comes to my ears and I try to force my heart to stay calm. I know my scent is hidden from him with the help of a potion but at this rate, with all this beating, I don't know how much longer it will hold.

"No, this b***h is barely alive. I don't think we got much use for her, I can just finish her off." The voice says and I just sit here and listen to them, waiting for the next move.

"Let me have a look at her!" My mate says, and fear creeps up my spine, I can't let him touch me and find out. The mate bond is still there since he didn't reject me, and if his skin touches me I know he will feel the sparks, and then my time is up.

I will rather be killed than let him know it's me!

Forcing my eyes open a bit, I see the man in front of me with his legs on each side of my legs, giving me the perfect shot to kick him in his crotch with my free foot.

I know it will probably hurt ten times worse with his anger and I might not survive this, but it's a long shot and one I have to take. For my own safety I have to do this!

Muster up every ounce of strength I have left in my body. I kick him with my free foot in his crotch as hard as I can.

A furious roar comes from the man before his hand connects to my face, and he hits me so hard I fall to the ground still tied to the chair. My head cracks open on the floor again, and this time I can't even whimper.

Feeling my life leave my body, slowly darkness starts to suck me in, and I let it.

Feet move around in the room before I see my mate's feet come to a stop in front of me, and I hear him squat down to me when I close my eyes again so he won't recognize them.

He doesn't say a word when I hear him sniff in the air for the longest time. My head pounds hard when I hear the man I kicked before curse in the room.

"Kian, what's wrong?" One of his other men says and I don't care anymore when the pain starts to get too much. This is it! I'm not going to make it out of here alive.

"I don't know! Something is off with her. Take her to the cell and see if she makes it through the night." He orders when I hear him get up from the floor. They start walking out of the room and I try to listen to where they are going before darkness takes me.
