I held the ice pack on my head whilst Benson dabbed at my busted lip.
"Your stupid you know that. You gave her a black eye, a broken nose as well as a broken arm." Benson said, looking up at me through his thick eyelashes. I didn't say anything, I could still feel the anger and hatred for the girl bubbling inside of me.
"You shouldn't have done that, what are the workers and other guests going to think of you now" He said, shaking his head. I stood up abruptly and threw the icepack I had been holding onto the floor.
"Screw what the they thinks. It's always about the them, I met them for you. I am being the Luna for you. So you can at least do me the favour of defending me, instead of that slut" I shouted at him, he stood up and took me into his arms.
"I'm not defending her, I'm just saying you did more damage on her than she did on you" I shrugged it wasn't my fault, she was a b***h.
"I'm going for a shower" I stated and got out of Benson's hold. I walked up the stairs and into my room, I stopped and instantly paled. There was another note on my bed, I slowly walked over and turned it over.
Well done you beat her! But next time you won't win
I'm guessing the first part was intended to be sarcasm. A chill ran down my spine making me shiver, I felt someone's eyes on me, slowly I turned towards the window. There sat an endless pit of menacing brown eyes, sitting in the shadows. I stepped back and blinked in shock and with that they disappeared. I sat on my bed in confusion.
I'm pretty sure I've seen those eyes somewhere but I can't remember where.
I got up and walked into en-suite bathroom. I stripped from my clothes and stepped into the shower. I felt the warm water beating down onto my back. I sighed in content. I loved long showers.
After 20 minutes in the shower, a new record for me, I got out. A cold breeze swept over my skin leaving a trail of goosebumps. Shivering, I wrapped the towel closer around me and walked back into my room. The room still smelt the same as before, so I had no leads to who left the note.
Damn stupid stalkers. I bet they are just after an autograph because of my fabulousness insert hair flick
I opened my wardrobe and put on my fox onesie, I was in love with it. I put on my fluffy cream slippers and headed down stairs, ready for dinner with the family, and next I will be watching a Netflix marathon with June, and the other sisters if they wish to join us. I ran and jumped onto the couch, and landed with a bounce.
The dinner was quite and everyone was so tired including Benson, so I decided to break the silence by asking the girls if they will watch Netflix with June and I.
“So Malice and Tess, will like to watch a movie with June and I after dinner" I asked looking at them for an answer
“Aunty Maria, I will love to but I hav assignment to submit first thing tomorrow morning" Tess said leaving the dinning table eonce she was done eating
"Okay Tess, what about you Malice will you like to watch a movie with us" I asked Malice just as she was about to leave the table. She looked at me and hissed.
Benson was angry at her behavior that he had to caution her
“Malice, stop there and tell aunty maria that you are sorry for hissing at her" Benson said with anger in his voice than Malice reluctantly said sorry and left the dining room.
Some moments later, Benson also left the room while I and June went to the couch to watch a series.
Switching on Netflix, I selected Pretty Little Liars and stared intently at the screen. I had been addicted to this show, and was half way through Season 4. I couldn't wait until A was revealed. I pulled my legs underneath me and sang along to the intro.
Got a secret, can you keep it.
Swear this one you'll save.
Better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave.
If I show you than I know you, won't tell what I said.
Cuz' two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
I was half-way through the episode and June had already fallen asleep, I took her to the room and came back to my room when Benson walked in. I payed him no mind and continued to watch the episode. Suddenly the TV turned black, I gasped. Looking over to Benson I saw the remote in his hands.
"How could you!" I screamed at him, I crossed my arms over my chest and stared daggers at him.
"Maria we need to talk about what happened earlier" He said sitting down next to me.
"Oh you mean about how Sassy practically admitted that you slept together or it is about Malice, you shouldn't worry about her since she is just a kid" I spat at him.
"We did not sleep together, we had dated but I broke it off months ago" He said carelessly, like that makes it any better.
"That doesn't make it any better. She is your ex" I exclaimed, my eyes burning in anger.
"Yes but she means nothing to me anymore" He said soothingly, stroking my arm. I pulled my arm away from him like he was made of fire.
"I'm still not forgiving you" I grumbled.
"What do I have to do to get you to forgive me?" Benson asks.
"Well first of all, turn Pretty Little Liars back on, you can also get me some popcorn and chocolate. And then you can get out the roomand leave me to my PLL marathon" I say back, Benson huffs but otherwise follows my requests. If this is what having a mate was like, I wouldn't mind.
But I can't just put off the notes, I should really tell Benson but I can sort out my own problems. Plus they're not really threatening, just stalkerish. Yep that's a word now. I need to find out who keeps giving me those notes but I can do that tomorrow. Right now I'm finishing my PLL marathon.
After hours of Pretty Little Liars, I finally get my lazy ass off the couch. I'm pretty sure my butts left a permanent indent into the couch. I smirk to myself, that couch is forever mine. It bears my mark.
I walk into the kitchen, still wearing my smirk and sit myself down onto a stool.
"What are you so cocky about?" Miss Anabelle our chef asks, looking up from her phone at me.
"I just marked the couch" I stated smugly, chef Ana raises her eyebrows at me.
"And how did you manage to do that?" She asks teasingly.
"I left a permanent butt print" I said, which causes chef Ana to start laughing. I watched as tears started to stream down her face.
"It wasn't that funny" I state
"Plus I was being completely serious" I said which causes chef Ana to laugh harder. Damn it.
I stared at her once more before leaving the room. I guess since I have spare time I can find out who sends me the notes. The notes are signed S so the person is either called something beginning with 'S' or its a group of them. Like the A Team. Okay, I need to focus this is a real life situation not some TV show.
Right, so I know that the person knows about my past, and what if it is Lycan or even Ares the Alpha from my place, and that they constantly watch me. Wow, I have so much information to go off. Note the sarcasm.
They have no scent, so they are either masking their scent somehow or they are part of the pack. But it can't be someone from the pack because I hadn't made any enemy's yet. I gasped, it could be Sassy. But wait, she only arrived yesterday. Darn. I'm not cut out to be a detective.
This is some hard stuff, plus I can't thing straight right now I'm too tired. I will figure it out in the morning.
..............__________
I opened my eyes and looked around, I was in a cell, the floors were cement and the bars I'm guessing were made out of silver. I looked down to see my right ankle and hands in handcuffs made of silver. I growled as the silver burned me. This is the second time this has happened, the first time I managed to escape because the prison cell were made out of a cheap metal. I looked around again and a thought hit me, I might not make it out of this.
I just sat here for what seemed like hours, I heard a noise and bolted right up. I heard what sounded like a door opening and then a bunch of footsteps. Then the most intoxicating smell hit my nose it smelt of toffee and chocolates. I brought my nose up to the air and started to sniff widely trying to find the source. I stopped sniffing and looked down, in front of me stood 3 males. One person being the beta and the other being a pack warrior.
"Ah I see your awake" I snarled at a man. I looked over to the other man, and realised it was the warrior who pinned me down. I then shifted my gaze to the other man he had dark brown hair and was wearing a loose fitted shirt and jeans. I looked up to his face and saw the most beautiful blue pair of eyes I've ever seen, the world seemed to stop as I stared into his eyes. The man beside whom I guessed is his Bata coughed uncomfortably breaking me from my trance, I looked down and heard my wolf mutter something.
'What?'
She said it again but I didn't catch it, I was going to ask her again but I felt sparks travel up my arm. I looked up to see the boy with the blue eyes with his hand on my shoulder, through the bars.
"Mate! Mate!" ......oh no this is Lycan ..and am done for, he is going to kill me once and for all, I guess that say is today ..and why am I in a cell instead of my bedroom with Benson
I stopped and stared wide eyed, he's my mate and he is Lycan, yes the same one I met on the day of blood moon in the forest, I can't believe I didn't realise earlier, I snapped out of my trance and growled at the boy. He instantly dropped his hand from my shoulder, I shuffled away from him.
"Mine" he whispered but everyone heard him. The beta stared at him wide eyed and then back at me. My mate put his hand out to the beta and the beta put the cell keys into it. My mate proceeded to unlock the cell and stepped forward into it. I could feel power coming from him and only then did I realise he was an Alpha. Oh hell no my mates an Alpha.
I was so caught up in my state to register my mate was now crouched in front of me. He hesitantly put his hand forward, when I made no move to stop him he moved his hand to caress my cheek. I leaned into his touch completely losing myself in the moment. I felt my eyes closing, the events from the day coming back to me. I didn't even realise I was so tired until now.
"Come on I will take you to bed" That being the last thing I heard before being lifted into my mates arms and falling asleep.
There was no way I was going to survive.
I had been fed only a few times and even then it was only slices of bread and out-of-date food.
I lost track of the time I had spent down there though I knew it had definitely been over a week though. All the days seem to merge into one it was hard to keep track.
But today was it, I was going to get myself out of there one way or another. I had given Beson enough time to search for me, and he had still not arrived. It was pathetic when I worded it like that, but he was my only way out and I doubted he even went looking for me in the first place. The thought didn't effect me though, not like it would have before I was brought here. All my love for him had faded and replaced with cold, dark thoughts.
I pried open my eyes slowly and glanced around cautiously looking for any signs of Lycan or his beta. I tried to push myself off the floor but my hands shook under the weight causing me to fall in a heap on the floor.
I could feel the anger and frustration forming in my chest getting ready to be released. I clenched my fists together tightly digging my nails into my palms and let out a breath before pushing myself off the floor. I managed to stand for a few seconds on shaky legs before stumbling into the wall. I leaned against it willing myself to give me the strength I needed to proceed.
When my legs stopped shaking and I felt stable enough to continue I pushed off the wall and walked to the far side of the cell. I gripped the bars tightly and took a deep breath before screaming.
"Hey Mr beta, or whatever your name is if you don't come down here right now I am going to rip your intestines out with my teeth you little whiny b***h! I swear to everything that is holy I will destroy you!" I panted silently waiting to hear the sounds of his feet hitting the ground, and soon enough I heard him.
"Yeah I want to let you know how much of a whiny little b***h you are" I spat at him, growling lowly in my throat.
I turned my head to the right with squinted eyes trying to distinguish his features through the dim light.
"You called?" He smirked at me with his rotting teeth and sleeked back hair. I grunted in disgust at the sight of him.
"Is that so?" He said tauntingly " I would have thought after months of beatings you would have gained enough common sense to learn not to taunt me"
"What-" I chocked "Months?" I couldn't breath, it felt like all the wind was knocked out of me.
"Yes didn't you know? I thought you would have been keeping count" He smiled at me with his crooked teeth "It's been 2 months"
I breathed in harshly falling to the floor. How had it been that long. I could feel the tears falling down my cheeks, the sobs wracking my body. I could only cry harder as I heard Lycan's and his beta laughter in the background.
I didn't know how long I spent crying but I knew that during that time Lycan had left.
I was pathetic.
I didn't have words to describe what I was feeling I had just felt so empty.
It had been 2 months and Beson hadn't even bothered to look for me. That brought another wave of sobs.
I glanced around the worn down cell and saw a glistening behind the bars.
With shaking hands I reached through the gap and grasped it tightly. It was a nail.
I didn't know why it had been left there but before I could even think about it, I took the open opportunity and jammed it harshly in my wrist. I doubled over in pain, yanking it out quickly and looking at the damage I had created. My wrist oozed blood, creating puddles on the floor.
The nail had hit a vein. Mission accomplished.
More tears gathered in my eyes but I managed to let out a cold, harsh laugh.
As my vision faded and the life slowly drained out of me I could feel the vibrations of thundering paws above me. And in my hallucinating state, I smiled as my vision turned black.
Finally I am free.
