Heart Held Captive

Chapter 14

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

A deep growl woke me from my feverish sleep. “Why were you in there in the first place?” I heard a man harshly whisper.

“I’m so sorry Alpha, she was badly hurt and I didn’t want your prisoner to die, then all your plans would fall apart” Even though the door divided us, I knew I could hear Chloe’s voice, shaking and full of fear. I heard a ‘thud’ and then a whimper.

“Next time you decide to act on your own, you will get worse than a simple slap” My eyes were steadily readjusting, I looked towards the large wooden bedroom door and saw that it was open slightly. Not much could be seen in the tiny sliver of the door that was open besides big red eyes. I wanted to stay quite so I could keep listening in on the conversation when suddenly I felt a deep pull in my heart, it was like heart was trying to burst out of my chest. I couldn’t help let out a groan of pain.

3 people filed into the room, Zack and Chloe walked closely behind the man with the red eyes. The mysterious man looked over me with such disgust and anger, it looked like he wanted to kill me right in this moment. I wish I could have had the strength to pull my covers from the bed over my face, just so I could escape his stare.

My body was shaking, sweat was pouring from each single pour on my body and I could feel body heat rising, I could of blamed it all on this man’s stare of intensity but I knew it wasn’t, it was something else, something I couldn’t explain.

“Alpha, this is the prisoner. We believe that because of Alpha Roman and this girl have made contact that they have already begun the bond between mates” Zach informed his Alpha. Well I guess I can no longer deny that we are mates, if this whole sickness thing is because of it.

“So she will die soon?” The Alpha asked. I went into shock, no one told me if I was apart from Roman that I could die!

“We believe so, considering she has no werewolf genes and all the stress that Roman would be going through she is most likely getting the full force of the separation” I watched as the two men discussed my future with no emotion at all, I looked over to my left to see a bruised faced Chloe looking just as worried as I was.

“How long do you think we can play her as a bargaining chip?” The Alpha asked. Zach bobbed his head a bit trying to come up with my estimated lifespan without Roman.

“I’d say we have another 2 days, 3 at most before her heart fails”

“Well, we better give the good news to Alpha Roman” The man with red eyes smiled wildly as devious thoughts passed through his mind with the amazing news of my failing heart.

“Now hang on a minute!” I tried pushing myself up, but my arms were too weak to hold up my body.

“I don’t care who you are but you can’t about my life like that! All you werewolves are the same, as long as you get what you want you don’t care whose life gets in the way!” A menacing glow had started shining bright in the Alphas eyes, Chloe was shaking for fear and Zach had a smile on his face which could only mean trouble.

“That is exactly right little girl, I could care less about your pathetic little life and if I could, I would kill you right now without a second thought but as it would unfortunately turn out I need you just a little longer” He sounded like some ruthless business man talking about my life as if it was just some little side note in his big plans. In a matter of seconds I was thrown onto the cold hard ground, but didn’t make it very far away from the bed for the metal collar was still around my neck. I choked and gasped for air, I tried moving myself into a better position so the collar didn’t break my neck. When I could feel someone pulling at the chains, dragging me across the floor and soon my feet were no longer touching the ground, I was dangling in the air by the collar a mere few inches off the ground.

I could see the nameless Alpha smiling wickedly at me, most likely watching the life in my eyes slowly drain away. Soon little black dots started appearing in my vision and I was sure that his devil like smile was going to be the last thing I saw, when out of nowhere I felt my back make contact with a wall.

I could barely still breathe, let alone see what had made the Alpha throw me against a wall. I thought for sure that I was about to die, right here, alone on the cold ground when I felt warm arms securely pick me up. A rush of new energy surged through my body, but only enough that I could open my eyes.

First I saw the blonde hair, I moved my eyes downwards and was met with the most gorgeous blue eyes I had ever seen, moving just little further I saw his lips, the lips that gave the most incredible kisses.

“Tera” I saw his lips say. He held me more closely to himself as he embraced me in a hug, I’ve never felt safer in my entire life. It was as if by just his body touching mine we were healing each other, I could feel my heart steadying itself, my body heat coming down to its normal temperature and I could finally breathe right again.

“Roman I-“

“I’m sorry Tera, we don’t have much time to talk. I need to get you out of here” I brought myself out my Roman daze and finally noticed that there were fights going on all around us, bodies were flying everywhere, blood stained the walls and floors and screams filled the air. Suddenly I could feel my heart beat pick up an extra few beats a minute and knew Roman was right, we needed to get out of here.

I nodded my head and Roman picked me up gently, he started to walk but quickly stopped when he realized I still had my collar securely around my neck. He growled a deep fierce growl and broke the chains. He started running out of the room when I noticed a white haired girl being pinned to the wall about to take a claw to the stomach.

“Chloe!” I screamed.
