Rejected Mate

Chapter 4

Freedom after bamboo

Louis' POV

When the alpha said they were free to practice their torture methods on me, I would have thought nothing of what was happening to me right now.

As the torturer explained to me:

"The victim, that will be you, will be fixed laying over a bamboo shoot that is about to sprout from the ground. Because bamboo shoots grow several centimetres a day and they are strong enough to find a way through the ground between stones and roots, the bamboo shoots penetrate the body of the victim, again, that is you, once they have left the ground. This relatively slow penetration into the body causes extreme pain to the victim, you, and can lead to death."

He grinned at me, like he just didn't tell me how he was going to torture me, but as if he told me what we would have for dinner.

"But of course I will make sure you won't die. I won't let the bamboo grow through you on a place where it can kill you. So I will only place it under your arms and legs"

"And I won't let it grow high, if it is through, I will get you off, take you to the doctor, make sure you heal, and start all over."

Oh please, this man can think of a torture method like this, but can't seem to think about the fact that there are main arteries running through the arms and legs. Maybe if I am lucky, I will go through one, and I will bleed to death.

I mean it is only 6 litres I have to bleed out, and then it will be all over.

Call it luck or whatever, but the torturer didn't think his plan through, and he didn't have a field of bamboo ready. So at least I got postponement of execution on the bamboo.

I don't know why, but the alpha thought I wasn't suffering enough and decided to let the doctor inject me with a daily doses of wolfbane. Not enough to kill, of course, but enough to make me feel miserable all day.

I think my wolf has left me completely. I haven't heard from him in a long time. I knew he was hurt by the fact that we got rejected by our mate, but I could hear him now and then. I think all this torture was too much for him, I mean he was really weak, but this definitely pushed him over the edge.

Today was the day my bamboo torture would start. The idiot had finally managed to have some bamboo shoots.

I was placed on the ground, over the shoots, and now the waiting began.

A nice crowd had gathered around me, like were they really expecting to see the bamboo grow?

It was ridiculous but bamboo really grows fast, I left the shoot penetrate my body, and it hurt like hell. With the crowd that was here I refused to give them the satisfaction of showing I was hurting.

They had my arms and legs spread out, and tied to some poles they placed there.

I was almost certain that the bamboo was at least 5 centimetres in my body, if it wasn't any further.

The alpha's mate came up to me and was probably bored with what was happening right now.

The dumb ass would usually come when I was trying to recover, and then bring some other dumb air heads to kick the shit out of me.

If it were to be a real fight I would easily be stronger than her, but alas, I was so weak I couldn't even lift my arms to protect myself.

Because she was bored, she kicked against my leg. My leg didn't move, because I was pinned to the ground by the bamboo by now.

I screamed on the top of my lungs, all the screams I had held in came out now, I was I so much pain, and I was waiting to pass out, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

"Oh my God, what in the world is going on here?" I heard a male voice say, far away. Finally I was slipping in and out of consciousness, but for now I wanted to stay awake, to hear where this was going.

"I heard my aunt was finally awake and the feral rogue responsible was standing trail. But what I am seeing now is not what I was expecting."

"Oh my dear cousin, welcome, you came just in time to see the rogue get what he deserves."

The other male growled, "Come on Nick, this is too much. Where is aunt Eileen?"

"My mate is out to get her, and as soon as she gets here, we will end this rogue."

Yes! Finally they will end me! Death is near, freedom is near. I could help but smile a little as a felt a tear of relieve trickle down my cheek.

The sound of a slap on skin pierced through the air and all conversation fell silent immediately. There was the woman that put me in this position, there she was, looking healthy and alive. I decided, that even if it was only for a short period, I would hate that woman till I die.

"You complete and utter fool, you! What were you thinking hurting an innocent omega? He didn't hurt me, he helped me, it was a feral rogue, all of you in your right mind, how could you ever believe a small omega like that would injure me so bad."

"Look what you have done, hurting the innocent, is that how I raised you?" I heard how Nick got slapped again by his mother.

"What are you all looking at, get him of that bamboo and bring him to the doctors, you idiots."

As they pulled me off the bamboo, I could hear Eileen screaming and crying not to hurt me. Well you're a little too late with that lady.

In the time you were treated like a queen and was made sure to heal properly I was out here being treated like shit, I was tortured, I am never going to forgive her. It was all her fault.

And those were my last thoughts before everything went black.
