That's Enough; You're Both Mine!

Chapter 6

Amanda's POV

I crept through the woods, my heart pounding in my chest as I pushed the tall grasses aside for a clearer vision. I glanced over my shoulders frequently, ensuring no one was following me. Linda helped me with my escape as promised and I'm glad she's returned to the pack. I hope she won't be caught by any of the guards because they might punish her because of me.

“Oh Moon goddess, please protect Linda. Don't let them see her..”. I prayed silently, my ragged breath breaking the solitude as tears flowed down my cheeks, silent and unrelenting.

The afternoon has slipped away into evening as the shadows lengthened outside but that didn't stop me from running.

I must keep running until I'm sure I won't be seen by any of Silver Moon pack members.

I kept sprinting until the exhaustion of the day finally pulled at my limbs.

I needed to rest a little, I was so thirsty as well but there wasn't any lake nearby.

My instincts flared, warning me that I'm being spied upon. It was when I stood up that I noticed some shadows lurking behind me.

“Anyone there!” I asked, my eyes wide with terror.

The quiet bush seems to swallow my voice, amplifying my dread.

When I saw the tall grass ruttle, my heart skipped a beat.

‘'Oh Moon goddess, am I being followed?' I asked in my thoughts as chills ran down my spine.

When I saw a face behind a tree, my eyes sprang like saucers with my heart thudding against my ribcage.

Someone was definitely following me. Oh no..

Slowly, I turned my head to cast a glance at the people behind me, they were about three of them.

Three heavily inked men with ugly smiles on their faces..

“Damn!" I muttered and increased my steps, breaking into a half run to get away from them. If I ever got caught by them, I could as well kiss my freedom goodbye and be damned to live a life of misery.

Who knows what they might even do to me?

They must have noticed that I was trying to get away from them as all three of them broke into a run in an attempt to capture me.

“Oh Moon goddess! Why does this have to happen to me?” I cried, running with all of my strength even as exhaustion took over me.

.

Like a crazy bull that had escaped the slaughterhouse, I ran away from the men, taking long strides and steps with the cool evening breeze blowing roughly against my blonde hair.

"Come back here!" one of the men yelled but the shouts only propelled me to run further.

My heart began to race as I imagined the irritating victorious smirk that would decorate their faces as soon as I was caught in their grasp.

My heart pounded crazily, beads of sweat pouring down my face.

I kept turning to look back as I raced, but as I looked forward, a man suddenly materialized in front of me, frightening me with his devilish glance and sending chills down my spine.

With mischievous smiles on their faces, the two others emerged from a corner.

"What do you want from me?" I asked as I retraced my steps from them, my heart thudding frantically against my ribcage.

"Seems we found you, pretty little doll," One with beards and a lanky shape, muttered as he stared at me lustfully.

"You tried to run away from us. Finally we got you!” One with crooked teeth remarked as he tried to touch me.

I'm sure they're rogues. They're always roaming around, doing mischief.

“Please don't hurt me. Please..” I pleaded, tears welling up in my eyes.

One of them stroked my cheeks, causing me to flinch. “Who told you we're gonna hurt you? We only have small fun with you, you know..”

His words struck every nerve end and I just wished the ground would open up and swallow me in that instant.

I've received enough torture from Jared and Jayden, I don't want to experience new ones again.

“Moon goddess please help me..” I mumbled, hoping for a miracle to happen.

Clutching my fabric, I slowly moved back, glancing around the surroundings with a calculative gaze.

“Come on. It's gonna be quick.” The leader said, assessing me lustfully as he reached for his belt. The metals clanged as he unbuckled it, and he hastened to hurl his belt, getting ready to have a taste of me.

I retraced my steps, and tried to run but a firm grip caught me.

“Why don't we sell her off. I mean, why don't we sell her to the owner of that brothel? I'm sure he'll pay us well. She's a good catch you know. She is beautiful and busty as well.”

“That's a great idea. I agree with you.” The leader agreed, and they all dragged me out of the bush.

I struggled to breathe when we finally reached the brothel.

The owner, a robust man in a suit , sat on a huge chair, his cold eyes piercing into mine.

“Sir. We have someone special for you!” One Of the men exclaimed after hurling me to the ground in front of him.

I sobbed quietly, scanning the entire building with teary eyes.

So many girls were there as well, dressed in lustrous clothing as they seduced some men on a sofa. Some of them danced on a pole while some of them did a striptease for some Mafia men.

My heart crashed into pieces because I knew there was no hope for me.

The Moon goddess sure hates me.

I've never for once been lucky in my life.

I wiped my tears with my fingers and the next minute, I was being dragged up by the man. He yanked a fistful of my hair, his deep blue eyes scanning my body with a hint of lust.

“She's beautiful indeed.” He said, his lips curled up into a lopsided smile.

I flinched when he ran his fingers on my skin and this action of mine made him enraged.

He grabbed my wrist and pinned me to the wall, his eyes fixed on my perky breasts.

“I will do whatever I please so don't even dare to act stubborn with me!” He warned, his voice like the call of a death knell, sending shivers down my spine.

I gulped down the lump in my throat, tears blurring my vision.

“Just kill me, please. I wish to - to die! I don't want to live anymore!” I implored, wishing he could fulfill my last wish but the look he gave me told me, he wouldn't.

I just want to meet my parents. I want to see them in the afterlife. I'm tired of living without them. They shouldn't have left me in such a cruel world. Everyone takes advantage of me. I have nothing to live for and I badly want to die.

“Please, just kill me. No one will hold you accountable, I promise… you're free to do it.” I said to the man, holding his hand and bringing it closer to my neck so he could strangle me.

He yanked his hands off me and grasped my wrist with a bruising force.

With furrowed brows, he snapped, “Do you think I'm here to joke with you! If you think I'll kill you then you must be out of your mind. I'm buying you to use you as my property. Normally, I'd have sold you to clients in my brothel but I will have you to myself since you're quite a beauty.”

He leaned closer and whispered in my ears, “I will f**k you day and night till I'm satisfied. I own you now!”

I sobbed and collapsed on my knees after hearing his words. I should have accepted it.. Fate has always been cruel to me.

“How much are we getting Sir Ricco?” One of my abductors asked.

Sir Ricco smirked and brought out his bag. He took some money from it and handed it over to them.

“That's three hundred thousand euros. Leave. And don't ever ask about her from me.”

“She belongs to you now, I guarantee that!” They said with mischievous smiles on their faces.

“And who said that she belongs to him!” A stern deep voice echoed in the room, accompanied with footsteps.

Ricco looked up, his smile fading instantly.

Those voices were familiar so I raised my head to see who had just walked in.

My jaw dropped and my eyes sprang wide with the sight before me leaving me speechless.

Standing before us was Jared and Jayden, their eyes flicking with rage and concern.

My worst fears had just happened. They're here to take me back.

I'm cursed. Nothing good happens to me. I should have known that I was cursed a long time ago. Little wonder the Moon goddess never hears my cries.

“You won't touch not even a strand of her hair. She belongs to us! She's ours, our dearest mate!!” They chorused at once, their words driving a stake through my heart with their deep emerald eyes fixed on me.

Mate?? Oh no. This can't be happening.
