Unique Mate

~28~

~Ashley's POV~

I groan in pain as I try to move my aching body on what feels to be a concrete floor, I struggle to open my eyes but for some reason, it feels like bricks are holding them down I do manage to open them eventually and my vision takes a minute to focus on the room around me... No, a cell... My heart drops into my stomach as my eyes dart from side to side not and I feel the panic rise in me as I don't recognize any of my surroundings. Well to be honest I can't really see much since the light hanging above me only dimly lights the room but that doesn't ease my panic. 

My eyes finally focus and I am in fact in a cell shackled with silver cuffs that have strange symbols on the side, I can tell already that I've been drugged because of the fact that I couldn't feel Adrian's mate bond, my wolf, or vampire. I close my eyes and whisper a chant hoping to release the cuffs but instantly stop when my cuffs start to burn like hell. I look at the cuffs and the symbols were glowing but that quickly faded leaving me confused and scared. I had nothing and knowing that was a numbing feeling. I take another look around the room and spot in the poorly lit corner laid a small twin bed, well more like a cot with a neatly folded blanket at the end of the bed, I look towards the cell door and struggle to get to my feet but eventually stumble to the door. I look out into the dark hallway filled with other cells, all empty.

I turn back to the room and feel the overwhelming feeling of everything that has happened coming over me and I couldn't help the sob that escaped my mouth as my eyes cloud with tears, I didn't know what to do and I couldn't do anything but rot in a cell being held captive by god knows who, it was all so scary and frustrating. UGH! I scream and my legs give out from under me and I punch the floor multiple times until I hear a crack which made me scream louder, pain shoots up my right wrist and I slide up against the wall, leaning against it as I inspect my obvious broken wrist and I can't help but cry harder. My cries instantly stop when I hear in the distance the closing of a door and footsteps following suit, I scramble across the floor to the farthest corner of the room, farthest from the door, creating as much space between me and the person I assumed was coming for me. I try to sniff the air to catch a scent of any sort but still couldn't detect anything. I wipe the tears from my eyes and grit my teeth ready to attack if needed it's not like I can do much damage with my broken wrist but I knew if it came down to it I refused to go down without a fight.

My whole body freezes when I hear the footsteps stop outside of my cell and I can barely make out the silhouette standing outside peering in, I watch cautiously as they lean down and the jangling of keys makes me believe they're unlocking my cell and my thoughts were confirmed when the creaking of my cell door slides open. The unknown person checks the halls before entering which puzzles me but not enough to make me let down my guard, I watch them slink their way in my cell locking it behind them. I growl lowly from my corner and I see their head snap in my direction.

" I see you're awake." My eyes widen from the sudden familiarity of the voice that just spoke to me and my blood runs cold. Conner. My anger fuels and I feel myself start to shake I can't control myself when I lunge at him landing a poor punch with my left hand on his cheekbone, still enough to knock him off balance making him stumble back into the cell door. I go to attack him again but he wraps his arms around me, leaving me to struggle in his arms trying to regain my freedom after a couple of minutes of my muscles burning in protest I fall limp. He, still leaning against the wall slides down bringing me with him, leaving me in between his legs breathing heavily, he loosens his grip giving me the opportunity to breathe deeply as my lungs relieved by this action can start working properly. So many questions ran through my brain and I was conflicted with the feelings of anger, confusion, hurt, pain, and betrayal. 

"Why?" Was the only word I could muster and even then you could clearly hear my voice crack in pain which I didn't mean to let seep through. I feel his chest rise and fall as he sighs loudly and I could tell that he didn't have a proper answer or at least not one that I would be happy with. 

" Ash... I'm so sorry I never intended this to happen. I swear. It was my mother's idea to cuff you and drug you." He said in such a pained voice that it even hurt me and I hated to admit that I could hear the truth in his words no matter how much I wanted to deny it, no matter how much I wanted to hate him, to despise him I knew deep down that he is the last person who would ever want to hurt me. I couldn't bring myself to meet his eyes but I could feel them on me.

" Ash, I want to get you out of here." My heart leaps in my throat and I raise my head and met his eyes. I could see the pain and before saying anything to him I searched his eyes for any kind of deception. Then it hit me, he wanted something he probably wanted me to leave with him, to leave behind my pack and my mate all for him. But why did this idea in a way intrigue me? I look away from him, I knew that if I turned this down I would be stuck here and the probability of his mother attacking my pack was inevitable. That woman would do anything to hurt me especially go after my pack.

" We'll kill my mother." My eyes widen and looked back up to him, my mouth wanting to form words but I didn't know what to say.

" I know that if we disappeared, my mother would go and attack your pack no matter what but if you agree to come with me, we will kill my mother and we'll leave and start a life together somewhere else, far away from here. Please, Ashley, I need you." Tears fall from his eyes as he pulls me closer to his chest, burying his face in the crook of my neck. I couldn't believe what I was hearing but my heart ached at the thought of leaving Adrian forever I know that if I could get out of here and kill his mother then maybe I could run away back to Adrian. If he knew I wasn't all the way in he won't let me out of here, if he knew my intentions he would leave me here to rot and he wasn't giving me much of an option but I knew deep down that this was my best choice. I swallowed hard down my dry throat and took a shaky breath and in the most convincing voice I could muster I look deep into his eyes and put on a soft smile.

" Yes, please."
