I will never be yours

Chapter 5

Selena pov

I'm woken up by what I guess is early in the morning from the top door being opened with a bang when several heavy feet walking down the stairs.

Trying to move my mangled body, I feel a bit better when I try to reach my wolf but she is still cut off from me. I'm far from healed and I can't escape this way, if I could get a half day more I know there would be a chance.

I don't get that lucky when I hear heavy steps walking closer to my cell and a guard stops by my door and turns the lock. The cell door is opened slowly and I hear the guard taking a big sniff in the air when a shiver of fear runs up my spine when I realize what's going on.

Fuck! I bet my scent is coming back, and that's why he is standing by the door and sniffing this way.

"Cannon, you better get in here." The guard shouts, and now I know my time is about to run out when I hear those words, and another pair of heavy steps makes its way over to the cell I'm in. Trying to swallow and figure out a way to escape what's about to come.

"What's the problem?" Says a deep dark voice, and I recognize it as the man who interrogated me yesterday. The one I hit in his balls to escape Kian from finding out it's me, I bet the man is still angry about what I did to him.

He sniffs in the air for a while when he comes to stop by the cell before he walks inside and hovers over my body. I don't dare to open my eyes when he grabs my shirt and lifts me up in it. Jolting my whole body awake from the pain when I'm being lifted from the ground fast.

"Where the f**k are you from!" He booms, and I snap my eyes open to stare right into his angry face. He is holding a tight grip on my shirt only for it to rise up over my butt, leaving my naked body on display for them to see.

I try to calm my racing heart down and take this whole situation in. He is a big and bulky guy, with the size of him I look like a child next to him.

"Answer me or I will have to force it out of you!" He barks, his anger wash over me while I keep my mouth shut. His fist comes to my face and hits me hard when I bite my tongue.

My head falls to the side and I know he broke my nose. Blood starts to pour down my face, and the pain has me gasping when I try to swallow the blood inside my mouth.

"I'll give you one more chance before I start breaking your legs!" he spits at me. I still don't give him any answer when I look into his angry eyes and hate is shown all over his face. There is no way I will give away what I have been fighting for for years, no matter how he tries to force it out of me, I won't give up my secret.

"Get me the syringe!" He orders the other guard before he quickly walks out of the cell, leaving us alone in there, and his angry face is all I'm focusing on when I keep my lips in a tight line. I know my time is up, and all I can do is fight for whatever is left of me, and fight I will.

I hear the guard walk back, I try to gather all the strength I have. Whatever's in that syringe, I know it's nothing good.

When he comes into the cell and is about to hand the syringe over to the man called Cannon, I quickly shoot my hand up and snatch it from him before I stab it in Cannon's neck, taking him by surprise. Earning me a furious growl before he drops me to the ground and pulls the syringe out of his neck and tosses it to the ground in front of me.

Scrambling to my feet, I take a few steps back and keep my eyes locked on him while I try to stand steady. My head spins for a short second, and I have to keep my focus on his angry face until it stops.

Seeing how his chest rises and falls, I know he is furious without him telling me. I have gotten two hits on him, and if he let me live, it's a miracle, given the anger that radiates from him in waves.

"Get Kian in here now!" He booms to the other guard who rushes out of the cell, leaving me alone with this furious man while I just try to keep my breath steady.

Looking at him I see how angry he is and all he wants is to kill me. I can't blame him after what I did to him.

Maybe it's the easiest way for me to go, I doubt Kian will be any nicer once he finds out it's me.

"You're going to regret doing that!" He spits before he lunges for me with his bulky frame.

Quickly stepping and trying to get under his arm when he manages to grip my shirt, I swirl around to face him. I manage to slip my claws out and scratch him down his chest when my wolf starts to stir.

It's only making him angrier when I see blood oozing out of the wound and its covering his shirt in the front.

He rips my shirt off my body before his fist comes up and hits me in my head. I didn't manage to get away while I was occupied looking at the wound I did on him. Falling backward, my head hits the floor with a thud, and black spots start to dance in front of my eyes with a painful throbbing in my head.

My ears start to ring, and I can't focus on my surroundings. This is just what I didn't need right now when my wolf was finally about to wake up. Now she has to heal a new wound on my head, and I can't get through to her.

That's when I feel him step on my leg before his hands come down and break both my legs like it's nothing. I had no chance to escape him until it was too late.

Crying out in pain, he kicks me in my stomach, and it takes my breath away, leaving me with just my mouth open when I try to get some air down my lungs.

"I told you! You're going to regret it. Now tell me where you come from, and I might end your life quickly!" He booms, and I just try to breathe through the pain that courses through my body.

I wonder what he will say once he finds out he has beaten Kian's mate up, or he might even get a reward for doing this instead of Kian.

"From here." I say and spit some blood on the floor while I hold my arms around my stomach. That's the only answer he will get out of me, he can try as much as he wants, but it's all I'm going to give him.

"Trying to be funny, are you?" He snaps when he kicks me in my back, and I feel my spine break.

Screaming in pain, it takes me a moment to come back to my surroundings when I see stars and my vision is blurry from the pain. I never thought I would go out this way, on a cold hard cell floor at my mate's land.

My body can't heal, and it's getting harder and harder to breathe. My body starts to get cold when a tear slips down my face, and I just let it. Maybe it's my time, I can't take anymore of this beating.

I'm just lying there on the floor, unable to move my body at all. Staring up at the ceiling, my body slowly shuts down, bit by bit it gets colder, and the pain I feel slowly starts to fade.

Coughing out blood when I hear several heavy footsteps come walking down to us on the stairs. I know Kian is probably one of them walking over here.

Right now I don't care anymore, I'm as good as dead anyhow, and there isn't any more pain he can inflict on me. Even if he tries.

I don't need to hear him when his scent hits my nose, I feel deep down something stir and urge me to take a deep breath of his scent, but I quickly push the feeling back down. The men come to stop by the cell door, and I hear him take a large inhale without saying a word.

Slowly turning my head to the side, I'm met by his gorgeous face, his muscular body shows through his clothes, and he is as gorgeous as the day I met him at the cemetery.

"Nice to meet you again, Mate!" I manage to say and hear several people gasp in the room.

I don't take my eyes off him and see shock all over his face, like he can't believe what's in front of him. Meeting his amber eyes again, everyone else fades away for a second when all I see is him.

"If you came to see me take my last breath, I won't disappoint you!" I say when I start coughing up blood. I know this is it.

My time is over.

Turning my head, I look up at the ceiling instead. I don't want his face to be the last thing I see before I go.

My breath rasps in my body, and it starts to get really hard to breathe before everything becomes black, and I welcome it.
