Rogue Alpha Queen

Chapter Seventeen

When opening my eyes, I felt a sharp pain coming from my neck. Gritting my teeth and placing a hand over it, I sat up.

Still feeling exhausted, I looked around, seeing that I was back in the room I have been staying in but that door has been fixed and was shut.

Confusion hit me until last nights event came. Azrael...she marked me. Against my consent! How can she do that to me?

Feeling tears form in my eyes and roll down my cheeks, I pulled my legs up to my chest and buried my face in my knees. Sobs leaving me as I continue to cry. The Moon Goddess really does hate me, doesn't she?

Sitting there crying for who knows how long, I sniffled. Lifting my head and wiping my tears away, taking a few breaths to calm my breathing and myself.

A little calm, I tossed the blanket off of me and went to stand up. Ignoring the pain from my foot while limping over to the door.

My hand went on the doorknob and tried to turn it open only to be stopped. My brows furrowed and I tried again and failed. Don't tell me.

A small growl escaped me. Did the giant jerk really lock me in here?

Taking a deep breath, squeezing my hand, I turned back around want over to my little corner. Taking a seat. Runts aren't allowed to be on beds. Don't know why Azrael is always putting me on it.

Sitting in the corner with my legs up to my chest, my mind began to wander back to the mark Azrael gave me last night. Lifting a hand and tracing a finger over it, an unwanted shiver came and I lost my breath for a moment.

Shaking my head, I moved my hand away from the mark, my attention shifted to the shirt I was wearing. The scent of freshly-baked bread mixed with bacon filled my nose.

It used to smell heavenly, still does, but now I'm just get angry when I smell it.

Growling a little, I ripped the shirt off. Taking no notice to the agonizing pain from my back and wrist before I threw the shirt across the room. The only thing now covering me were the bandages that needed to be changed.

Sighing, I rested my head on my knees. The quiet room made me feel lost and empty. I'm not used to not doing anything. Not being busy.

Ever since waking up here, Amber and Azrael didn't allow me to leave this room or let me do anything like cleaning or cooking. I'm finding it hard to say this, but, I miss it. A lot.

The only thing I can do now is let my mind race and wonder. Boy how I hate it.

My mind kept on going back to Azrael, with her giant muscles and tall structure, dark skin that looks like meat cooked just right, ruby eyes, her rough laugh, and gentle smile.

Gritting my teeth, I shook my head. Getting rid of all the thoughts of that Alpha. No. She marked you without consent. Don't think about her.

It's her fault that I can't leave now. Alpha needs me and he's gonna be really upset when the Pack house isn't getting cleaned up. He hates messing more than anything. When I get back, he's gonna punish me. A lot!

Oh Moon Goddess, I can already feel all the whip marks, beatings, and pain he's gonna give me when he gets his hands on me.

I don't think Azrael even ask for permission to bring me to her pack, which means I just earned some even more beatings! But it's not like I can just leave now.

If I leave and be gone for an unknown period of time, the bond between me and Azrael will begin to break and when it snaps, Azrael could die. Me too of course but who cares about that?

The only think I care about is Azrael not dying because of me. I don't want that, even though I'm really annoyed and livid at her right now.

Why did the Moon Goddess have to make the mating bond between mates so strong and sensitive? It's like she didn't want us to ever separate from one another.

Hearing the door unlock and creek opened, my head shot up and turn to see. Seeing Amber stroll in with a tray of food, my body relaxed and my head rested against my knees again. A sigh of relief escaped me.

I'm definitely not ready to see Azrael right now. Actually, I don't want to see her at all. She might get hit if she gets close to me.

Amber closed the door behind her and locked it, making my brows furrow as she went over to the table and set the tray on it.

Now that I'm looking closer, the window also has been closed. A giant piece of wood is keeping the window from opening.

It'll be easy to remove but there was still a problem of being on the second floor and having an injured ankle.

"Come eat child." My body moved closer to the wall, back touching it and sending shocks of pain which made me bit my lip to keep quiet. Feeling Ambers stares on me.

After a while of not moving, she sighed. "I'll leave the food and pick up it later with some bandages to change the bloody ones." Watching closely, Amber went over to the door and took out a dark wooden key? Why isn't it made out of metal?

For some reason, it still worked and Amber unlocked the door. Slipping out, she closed the door behind her and I heard the door lock again.

A groan left me. The smell of food filled the room but I ignored it. I have no appetite right now.

I just have to return to the pack and Alpha. That's it. I don't know why Azrael is so keen on making me stay here for who knows how long.
