My mates are queens!?

Chapter 53

Alex's POV

Leaning against the wall, using one key at a time to get this door unlocked, it took a while until I found the right one. The entire time, the woman was watching me.

When I heard the door unlock, I slowly opened it, which still didn't stop the door from squeaking like an annoying bird, wailing just cause.

Limping over to the woman, I knelt down, bitting my lip to hold back my whimpers of pain, and removed the gag from her mouth. "What are you doing, Alexandra."

My brows furrowed, looking up at the woman confused. I never told her my name. I don't think  Mr. Psycho said my name either. Does he even know my full name? I've never mentioned it.

And when she says it, it kind of gives the impression that I've done something wrong and she's about to scowl me. This is why I don't tell anyone my name.

"I'm helping you." Turning my attention to the rope, it took a while to untie them. The guards here really didn't care if the rope were digging into her skin, making them slightly purple. There was even a bit of blood when I look closer.

When the ropes were off, the woman got up to her feet. Nearly falling when circulation was returning to her legs but caught herself. Rubbing her wrist, she turned to me.

Her eyes softened as she went to touch me, but I backed away. I don't like strangers touching me. There was a flash of pain in her eyes when I did that but she took in a deep breath, pulling away. "We have to go, before James comes back."

Walking past me, I followed after the woman, who stopped at the door, look left and right before going left.

Holding onto my broken arm while slowly walking behind the woman. We passed by empty cells that were stained with dried blood, rusted chains, and dirty tools that the people here didn't bother to clean. Disgusting.

There were so many cells. A ton but there was no one in any. Where is everyone?

There was no time to think cause it didn't take long to reach a fork in the road. Can continue going straight or take one of the two paths on either side of us. And without hesitation, the woman, checked, then went right.

She seems to know her way around, which means she's been here a while.

After walking for a few minutes, we reached a heavy, wooden door. The woman turned to me and sticked out her hand. "The keys, darling." I gave them to her and she turned back, looking through the set of keys before picking up and trying it. First try and the door unlocked. I stared at her jealous.

Opening the door, she stepped outside and checked to see in the coast was clear. "Who are you?" I finally asked. She paused. "Asha...my name is Asha." Asha. Why do I know that name. 'Mist, have you heard that name before?'

Seeing that the coast was clear, Asha steadily strolled out the door and hold it open for me. 'It feels like it but I can't put my paw on it.' She closed the door and locked it. Just like that, we were off again.

It seems like we were in a castle of sorts. The walls were made out of stone, there was a long, large carpet in the middle of the big hallway, and there were items that I normally saw in my mate's castles.

However, unlike there, this place was far more quiet and dark, darkened than Jane's which normally gives me the creeps. But this one takes the cherry on top cause right now, I'm terrified.

Leaning against the wall, taking deep breaths, I closed my eyes from the dizziness. Sweat ran down my face as it felt like my body was at its limit. I heard Asha's footsteps stop. "What's wrong, Alexandra."

"Tired." My voice was very weak when I spoke, just above a whisper. My entire body aches and I'm extremely thirsty.

Hearing a sigh, I felt myself get picked up and groaned in pain, my eyes barely opened to see Asha holding me in her arms, despite the fact she was thinner than a normal person, she carried me.

I closed my eyes again and leaned into her embrace. She feels like safety and safety is what I need right now. It won't hurt to take a little nap.
