*Lily POV*
I barely had gotten any sleep when I felt Daniel stir beside me. I quickly scrambled out of bed to go make breakfast before he fully wakes up. I get the coffee going first then prepare a large spread of sausage, bacon, pancakes and eggs. Just as I was putting the final dishes on the table Daniel walked into the room with a sound of approval.
“That’s my good little mate.” Daniel says as he sits at the table.
I quickly serve him his food and coffee then kneel beside him until he allows me to eat. I wait patiently as I hear him eat his food but the permission to eat does not come. My stomach growls loudly and I hear him chuckle softly. Inside I deflate as it seems like I will not be allowed to eat today. I don’t know how much longer I can handle living like this. He treats me more like a slave for his pleasure than as a mate. As he finishes his meal he scoots back his chair and stands.
“Get this meal cleaned up quickly then go shower. Once you are done I want you on the bed ready for me, little flower.” Daniel said as he walked towards the bedroom.
I quickly scramble to my feet to clear away breakfast and hear the shower turn on. Great. Just great. I think to myself. I guess I’m in for a cold shower today. Daniel very rarely leaves any hot water for me if he showers first. I quickly wash and dry all the dishes and put them away. I am just finishing up wiping down the counter and table when I hear the shower turn off. I instantly start heading for the shower knowing if I don’t hurry I will be punished again. Once I get in the shower and turn on the water I get hit with icy cold water. Yep I knew it, no hot water. Shivering, I shower as fast as I can while also being thorough. After I dried off I walked over to the bed, climbing on, I got on all fours. I arch my back pushing my ass into the air. I spread my legs wide so Daniel will have easy access. I make sure that my breasts are not touching the mattress, I hate this but it is what Daniel expects.
I don’t know how long I stayed like that waiting but Daniel never came. Finally I took a chance and looked at the clock to see it was already after noon. I had been like that for over 2 hours. f**k this. I got up and off the bed and went to the kitchen to make myself something to eat. I was starving. I had no idea where Daniel was and at this point I don’t even care. After I ate and cleaned up I decided I would make him a sandwich. I left it on a plate and wrapped it up so it would stay fresh.
I started to feel really cooped up so I decided to go for a run and let my wolf out. It had been so long since I let my wolf out I could barely feel her anymore. Poor Annabelle, I feel so bad for her. I know that she is missing her mate too but Daniel won’t ever let us out of the packhouse much less near his wolf. I don’t even know his wolf’s name.
Annabelle? I call her in my head. Would you like to have a run? I feel her stir in the back of my head.
Run? She replies tail wagging happily. I thought you would never let me run again. She almost growls.
I walk out into the forest and think about shifting into my wolf. It is not long before the popping sounds begin but I wasn’t expecting the terrible pain. I had forgotten that with prolonged periods of not shifting it causes intense pain when you do shift. Once fully shifted I gave over control to Annabelle and let her run to her heart's content.
While Annabelle ran I thought about how my life had taken a turn. I knew Daniel would be furious when I returned that not only had I left but I hadn’t told him or for that matter asked for permission first. I was tired of my life being bent to his every will. I was losing myself and my wolf. I started to come up with a plan to leave him as soon as possible. I knew I would have to take some precautions so I could escape and he would never find me. I knew of a witch that could make a potion to disguise my scent. The problem would be contacting her without him knowing. I couldn’t and wouldn’t ask anyone to help me contact her. They would either tell Daniel or would be killed for helping me. I also knew I needed to find a place to go to, once I did leave that he would never look for me in. I wonder if the witch could help with that as well. After running for a few hours Annabelle and I were starting to feel exhausted and I had the foundations of a plan formed. With a heavy sigh we decided to go back and face his wrath even though we would rather just run away now and never look back.
Once we got close to the cabin and I shifted back, with less pain this time, I could hear Daniel’s angry growling from inside. s**t. He is furious and I’m going to be beaten to near death. Well f**k. My plans are now delayed even more. Timidly I walk towards the cabin. When I am close enough he can hear and smell me, I hear him stomp towards me and grab me roughly, nearly breaking my arm in the process.
“I told you to be on the bed and be ready for me. Instead you disappear for hours. How dare you disobey me like this. Apparently your previous punishments were not enough for you to learn your place. But believe me when I say little mate by the time I am done with you, you will have wished you learned sooner.” Daniel yells at me as he drags me to the bedroom and throws me on the bed.
“I am sorry Master.” I utter quietly as I shake with fear knowing a lot of pain is heading my way.
Daniel grabs his belt and the whip. “ Oh you will be sorry when I am done with you mate. You WILL learn your fuckin place. So help me Goddess. If I have to beat you every single day to remind you of your place I will.” He growls as he stalks towards me.
SLAP. SLAP. SLAP. Hours go by and still he continues. I am pretty sure there is not a spot on me that is not black and blue at this point. I lost consciousness a few times due to the pain but it did not stop him. He used every thing he could think of on my body. I am pretty sure I had some broken bones too. I was just regaining consciousness when I felt pain rip through my ass.
“Welcome back mate. I am going to take you in this hole then I will take that sweet p***y of yours. Oh and don’t you dare to c*m or I will punish your p***y inside and out and still f**k you to my heart’s content after.” Daniel whispered in my ear.
“Yes Master.” I replied in fear so I would not get in more trouble.
I laid there as he had his way with my body. It was so painful but as he reached his climax and finally crawled off of me I was relieved it was finally over. I knew I could not stay any longer; this was the last straw. Soon as we get back to the packhouse I will be making my plans to escape.
