The Lost Fae

Chapter 6

Kathrine POV

It felt like an eternity. I thought for sure that I was in hell. It was dark and cold as I took a unsteady step forwards, expecting Master to jump out again at any moment.

“I may be dead, my pet, but your soul and body will always belong to me. No matter what anyone does, no one will want you. You are tainted and dirty. You may not have slept with me, but it’s my blood that is in you.” He said with a sickening smile.

As I listened to him, I realized he was right. No one would want me. It didn’t matter that I was forced to not only take his blood, but to be his ‘play toy’. Master had once said that just because he can’t sleep with me l, didn’t mean he couldn’t enjoy other things I had to offer. After knowing that every inch of my body has been touch by another, no one would want me. Just then another voice I didn’t recognize startled me.

“Kathrine. Don’t listen to him. I promise you that you are loved and you are worth so much more than you are led to believe. Kathrine, Victor forced, against nature, to be bonded to him. I can break that bond. You can live a full and happy life. I promise you, Kathrine. Please trust me.” The voice said.

“Who are you?” I asked the voice cautiously.

“I am a healer. I need you to listen very carefully. I need to go get something to help break the bond, and when I come back, I need you to repeat the words I tell you. Ok?” she asked me.

“But why would I need to live? No one would want me. I’m to damaged, and dirty. I have been wanting to die for years and now I have my chance.” I said through the tears pouring down my face.

“I’ll tell you what. I promise to be your friend and to remain your friend for all of your life. I will be beside you and guide you. Even is no one else want you, I promise you, I do.” The voice said.

“You promise.” I asked her skeptically.

“I swear on my life and that of my mate. I will remain loyal to you Kathrine.” She said sincerely.

“Okay but hurry back, please. I don’t like it here.” I whispered.

“I will be back soon, Victor will come back after I am gone, but stay strong Kathrine. I will be right back.” She said and them she was gone. I hoped that Master wouldn’t come back, but I knew it was just wishful thinking.

“Do you think you can be free from me? You’re mine, I own you. Your soul belongs to me.” He taunted.

“No. I will be free from you. My friend promised.” I said more determined.

“Oh your friend? Where is she now? She left you. Even she realized you are too damaged. Who wants to be friends with a dirty slave who’s only purpose is to be their knees?” he laughed. Just then there was a bright light and a loud voice.

“I am Victoria, Healer of the Fae Queen. Let my words be law. Kathrine repeat after me!” the voice said as she started to say something n a foreign language. I don’t know how, but after a few minutes, I began to understand what was being said. She was breaking the bond that I had with Master.

When all of the words were said I felt power fill my body and I felt the bond break. It’s was only briefly painful, but them there was freedom. I felt alive. I could feel it, my soul didn’t belong to Master anymore.

When the light and power ceased, I was able to feel my body. I was cold but I was warming up already. I could feel the soft fabric that was around my body. That’s when I could hear the most alluring voice.

“Where you able to destroy the synthetic mate bond?” that voice was enough to pull me from my unconscious state. I jerked awake with a gasp.

I looked around noticing the people in the room. It didn’t go unnoticed by me that there were three males and only one female. I felt uncomfortable as I realized I wasn’t wearing any clothes, only the fabric on the bed was keeping me covered. Upon realizing the woman spoke up.

“I think our Queen may want clothes and a shower, Alpha.” I remember that voice.

“You were in my head. You saved me.” I said to her.

“Ah, so you remember my voice. I meant what I said. I will help you shower and get dressed. You have nothing to fear here my Queen.” She said with a smile.

“Why are you calling me Queen?” I asked her.

“I will tell you after your shower.” She responded. Up until that moment none of the males had moved or spoken. They just stare at me. It was unsettling. Just the. One of the males crossed the room in three strides and shielded me from view of the others.

“Leave.” He said. The others obeyed without question. I instantly felt vulnerable and scared. He reaches a hand towards me and I flinched at the movement.

“ You don’t have to be afraid of me Kathrine. I could never hurt you. I will never touch you anywhere without your consent. I will never force you to do anything.” He said with sincerity.

“May I touch your face, Kathrine?” he asked me. For some reason I felt a pull towards this man. I still felt cautious, but nodded anyways.

He slowly moved his hand out and brushed his hand on my face and I felt the most wonderful tingling sensation the simple touch of his hand on my face. I could stop the sigh that left me as I closed me eyes. I have never been touched with such carefulness. I would never admit it out loud, but I liked it.

“You are very beautiful, Kathrine.” he said. That’s when I remembered that I didn’t know his name.

“Can I ask a question?” I asked him hesitantly.

“You can ask me anything, anytime. I will always answer.” He said gently.

“What is your name?” I asked him.

“Alexander. But you can call me anything you like.” He said with a sly grin. I couldn’t help but blush.

“Okay.” I said shyly. I felt like I had nothing to fear from him, but at the same time my head was telling me that no one could be trusted.

“Well, I will have Victoria come in and help you prepare to bathe and get dressed.” He said as he got up off the bed and headed towards the door. My heart squeezed at the thought of him leaving. What is wrong with me? I just met this man.

A few seconds later, Victoria came back in and smiled at me.

“He cares a lot about you, you know?” she said.

“Who?” I asked, even when knowing full well who she meant.

“You don’t have to play dumb. I know you like him too. It may not make sense right now, but it will. You are his mate and his other half. You are fated to be together. The feeling you are feeling is totally normal. Remember I’ve been inside your head. I know everything that happened to you, while you were held captive.” She spoke.

I hadn’t realized she knew everything is had been through. It was like a damn being broke as I burst into tears. Victoria pulled me into a hug as I cried. For the first time in my life, I felt comforted. I cried a tear for every unwanted touch that was forced upon me, every kiss that made my skin crawl, and every lewd act I was forced to perform. I cried until I was exhausted before Victoria pulled away from me and we into the bathroom to start my shower.

“Go ahead and shower my Queen. I will have your clothes set out when you come out. Take your time.” Victoria said. I then went to the shower, my first shower by myself.
