Royal Alpha: Implacable

Chapter 25- Torture

Naida's POV

I felt my heart sink as soon as I caught the sight of Hayden, with a knife dangerously close to his throat. I gulped quite loudly and turned to see the man that was holding the knife to his throat.

"Hayd..!" I was stopped mid-sentence.

A burning feeling reached my throat as the other guy, who I decided to call "Loser" since he only gave "L" as a reference, put a silver knife pretty close to my skin. My body reacted automatically and flinched away from the ice-cold yet burning metal, which caused me to bump my back into Loser's chest.

I whimpered, probably quite loudly cause Hayden started fighting against his attacker.

The sirens kept going and my eyes couldn't leave Hayden's as he struggled to get out of the stranger's hold, my own body fighting against my captor.

I then recognized faintly the scent of werewolves. Yeah, we were being held by traitors.

"Jaz!!" I screamed mentally just as a sting caused my body to go limp in Loser's arms.

I felt my eyelids grow heavier as my hand slowly moved to my neck, feeling a needle piercing through my skin.

"Not again..." I weakly said, short gasps for air coming out of me. I saw Hayden in a similar state and tried to move towards him unsuccessfully. Loser set me on the ground and left me lying there.

"Hayden..." I moved my hand, trying to reach for him, for his touch. But then I felt hell open my skin and flow through my veins. A skin crawling and agonizing cry of pain erupted from the deepest of me. I shook violently from the excruciating torment that the wound on my side was putting me through. Tears of pure misery were running down my cheeks as I reached down and touched the open wound, my hand burning instantly.

"Silver..." I cried silently as I closed my eyes.

Being tranquilized had no effect on silver wounds, silver was the deathliest thing a wolf could meet, the pain overcame almost any kind of medication.

"Naida!" I heard my mate's cry of anguish.

I couldn't help but try to focus on the sound of his voice. I couldn't open my eyes, the pain dominating my will and fighting my senses.

"Isn't this cute?" I heard a chuckle and I forced my eyes open to glare in rage at Hayden's captor.

"Fuck. You." I spit out with venom dripping from my voice.

I felt the shifting, the rage and the wolf adrenaline fighting against the medicine and the silver. I growled loudly and shook as I tried to keep under control.

I smiled quite sarcastically as I saw the asshole flinch at my words and fear starting to make its appearance in his eyes. He let go of the knife he was holding against Hayden's throat and looked quite scared now.

He stepped back, releasing Hayden at the same time.

My mate immediately moved towards me and in a swift movement lifted me up, pressing my back against the wall and standing in front of me, covering my body from the sight of the two traitors.

Both guys were looking hesitant, one already ready to turn and run for his life.

"Who are you?" Hayden snarled, a new tone to his voice, which sent shivers down my spine.

What the...

Both guys seemed to recover from their trance and quickly grabbed a couple of silver chains, which I noticed had some kind of fabric at the beginning for them to grab.
