Possession of the Alpha

Closed Off

Raven's POV
I laid on a bed with my rescuers, a beta and a man surrounding me. My body was covered in bruises and cuts, carefully treated as I was retrieved from the house.

"The happy reunion of one mate and another." The silver haired woman clapped, possibly younger than me, looking very familiar. She looked like an angel, a celebrity, a model.

"Darling, I need you to talk to me." Axel plead, taking my hand in his, eyes wide begging for me to speak.

"Hi." I mumbled, wincing as soon as I did. The bruise on my jaw was black and purple and even if my lips moved it hurt.

"She needs rest and time to herself." The man stated gruffly as I nodded in agreement.

"Ok then, everyone leave." Axel ordered as the couple laughed and smiled.

"Time to herself dear Alpha Axel, that includes you leaving the room." The woman said shaking her head. I nodded once again as a flash of hurt crossed my mate's face. I couldn't care less, but a part of me wanted him to stay, play with my hair, hear him speak. That part of me was Lilith. She was clawing inside me wanting to be let out.

He was last to leave the room, gaze lingering over me before forcing himself to look away shutting the door. Like that I took it as as the signal to start mourning for the lost baby I never got to hold in my arms. Heck I didn't even know if it as going to be a boy or a girl. There was a life inside of me and I was too weak to protect it, too weak to save it. I was so damned pathetic locked up nude in that cell I didn't even have any energy to fight back. I let Damian abuse me, I let him kill my child, I let him lock me up.

Tears started falling from my face as sobs broke out. Children, they were so precious, so innocent and full of light. They bring you happiness and somehow always find a way to cheer you up. I wanted one of them, I wanted a child. I envied those mothers who had one, I hated those tho treated them like a piece of shit, abusing them and treating them like slaves. They should be treasured.

Let our mate hold us, he will make us feel better. Lilith whined but I knew better than that. I knew better than to throw myself at a man, to trust him just because he's my 'mate'. Because someone was destined to be with you doesn't mean that it would play out like every girl's dream. To fall in love, have a family because sometimes, one of them will deny reality. They will deny the fact that they barely have met the other. They will deny the fact that they actually don't love the other, they simply convince themselves that they are in love but really, they're not. Why? Because they want to feel like they belong, they want to feel like they are wanted, they want to feel loved. Funny feeling huh?

Axel loves us, let him in. Lilith plead.

Loves us? He didn't even come and save us himself. He wouldn't risk his life for us, he just simply sends others in because he's a coward. I spat. No, Axel, he wasn't the one carrying the baby. He wasn't the one being tortured, and he wasn't the one who saved me.

Raven! You've got to give him a chance, we haven't even heard his side of the story. She argued.

Lilith, do you even care about what just happened or do you simply just spend your whole time thinking about your mate because apparently I haven't heard a single word from you regarding our pups. Nothing about our torture, nothing about anything, but it's okay because I was tortured not you right? I growled cutting the link right after that feeling her shrink back into me. Multiple knocks were heard at the door.

"Come in." I said as a doctor appeared.

"I need to treat your wounds and bruises, Alpha also is asking for permission to enter." The doctor bowed speaking looking at his shoes while I saw Axel's face at the door.

"No." I simply replied as the man nodded, walking over to shut the door. The doctor examined my bruises taking a blood sample as I just laid back not caring anymore.

"It seems your wolf isn't exactly helping you heal-"

"I blocked her completely, including the physical abilities." I said aware of what was happening. I didn't care if I healed slowly, or didn't have my werewolf strength, hearing or speed but I wasn't going to talk to her.

"Maybe it would be best if you let her back in until you have fully recovered." The doctor suggested as I snickered.

"Rather not. I want to get out of here." I demanded as his eyes widened.

"No no! You can't, you have major injuries including-"

"A broken rib, sprained ankle, fractured left wrist, fractured hip bone, broken pinky toe and bruises all over. I don't give a shit, I'm your damned Luna and you will let me out." I growled sitting up, wincing in pain. My cast on my left hand wasn't really helping with the process either.

"Let me get a wheelchair-"

"No need. I will only be walking to the garden."

"But you would have to go down 2 flights of stairs and it's at the opposite end-"

"Just help me out." I growled as he obeyed. As I stood up pain shot through my whole body as I felt as if I was about to fall to the ground. Tears were on the verge of falling as I made my way to the door. My breaths were heavy as I twisted the handle taking small steps, avoiding putting pressure on my broken toe.

"What the hell are you doing out of bed?" Axel asked as he dashed over sweeping me up in bridal style with his werewolf speed.

"I'm going to the garden by myself and without your help." I sneered as I tried to push him off me but he kept a firm grip around my back and thigh.

"You're going to fucking hurt yourself." Axel said rolling his eyes as he started walking.

"Put me the fuck down! Don't mind suffering every once in a while and fuck off." I shouted as I felt Lilith trying to snuggle into him.

"What is wrong with you? When I thought you were finally warming up to me you slipped away again. Am I not good enough or do you just enjoy being extremely fucking moody?" He snapped as I bit into his arm with all my strength causing him to drop me on my back. Yelping in pain I laid there with no strength to move as my mate knelt next to me apologising but the words barely reached my ears.

"Just. Go. Away!" I seethed out as he forced himself not to touch me further standing and shuffling back.

"I'll send Kylie." He said walking away leaving me on my own. A part of me wanted him to stay but not after what he said. Extremely moody huh? I'm pretty damn sure it's normal for a mother who lost their child to be 'extremely fucking moody.'

"Luna?" A voice asked rushing over.

"Can you help me up?" I asked as Kylie put my arm around my shoulder and practically lifted me off the ground.

"Rocky relationship?" She asked as I rolled my eyes.

"What relationship?"

"Definitely on bad terms, so I heard you wanted to go to the garden?"

"Yup, can you just help me down the stairs?" I queried as she nodded helping me down. With each step came excruciating pain but I didn't care. I was basically numb inside and my mind was blank not focusing on anything in particular. She left as soon as I reached the grass, and there I laid lying on the ground looking up to the sky.
