Prologue
GEMMA'S POV
I knew he was in a bad mood as soon as he entered the room I've been held prisoner in. He stalked towards me with his fist clenched, even in the dark I can see his eyes furrowed in anger. I couldn't move, I never can. He never takes the shackles off. I cower in fear, my head hanging low, not out of respect but because I want this to be over with. He puts his hand under my chin and lifts it up roughly. I try to ignore the tingles and heat where he touches me. "You've been talking, what have I told you about that mouth? Hmm you know I have to punish you now." He bellowed. I let out a small whimper as his hand makes contact with my face, I can smell the alcohol on him, I don't talk I never have, I never see anyone and when I do I look away afraid to see the pity in their eyes. They can't even help me If they wanted to, they can't go against their soon to be alpha. I clunch at my stomach when he punches me again. My wolf is growling In my head " bad mate, let me out let me help you Gemma Please we can't keep on" I shake my head to her " no Willow we can't he doesn't know I have you, he can't not until the right time" I reply desperately. I see her nod her head in understanding and go back in the back of my mind. I open my eyes to see he has finally calmed down a bit, I look around the room he keeps me in to see why he has stopped his torture. My eyes stop at the door where I see him, his beta, willow perks up and comes forward just enough to see but not enough for my mate to notice. The beta meets my eyes after looking around the bloody and broken room, trailing my naked, bruised bleeding body. I see sorrow in his eyes. He walks over to his alpha and grabs him " William, man you shouldn't be doing this, come on get out of this room" he speaks quickly. William nods his head and walks off with the Beta hot on his trail. He suddenly halts and looks back at me. "I'm sorry he's doing this to you Gemma, I'm going to help you escape from here" His voice full of sorrow and regret. I pick my head up and look at him " please Sebastian, I can't go on much more he's done terrible things" I voice breaks as I begin to remember what has been done. He only nods and walks out. I pray to the Moon Goddess to finally help me.
