His Mute Mate

Chapter 12

When I finally regained consciousness I saw nothing but black. I wasn't blindfolded the room was just pitch black. Tight ropes dug into my wrists and legs. My heart was beating a mile a minute and my palms were sweating. I didn't know where I am, who's in this room with me, what will happen to me, or if I'll ever be able to escape. Time seems to be flying by my nerves making me want to shake my leg but the ropes prevent me from doing so. I have no ability to tell if it's daytime or night.

After what seems like forever the lights switch on. I haven't been in the light for so long I have to blink rapidly to adjust. Even though the lights are on I don't see anyone. Although they could be standing behind me. Terrible thoughts consume my mind thinking about what's gonna happen to me.

Eventually I sense someone's presence although I can't hear them or see them. Eventually I hear footsteps come closer and a person I never thought I would see again stands in front of me. Anna. But I recognize the other people's uniforms. It's the rogue group that killed my sister and aunt. My heart pounds in my chest realizing I'm probably about to die.

I had escaped the death they had initially planned for me. So now they came back to finish the job. I don't understand why Anna is with them though. She's Kace's sister why would she be working with a group of rogues.

"Well hello again Emmeline" she says my name as if it's poison in her mouth. "What do you want" i ask her looking her straight in the eye. I'm scared out of my mind but I'm determined to not daring to back down. People have used me, broken me, and hurt me all my life. I'm ready to change that. I'm ready to move on know. I'm deciding this now. I've let to many people walk all over me. And I'm not letting it happen again. This time I'm not going down without a fight.

"Well you see if my brother doesn't find his mate within the next three weeks he's gonna begin to die. And so will you. Then I'll become the Alpha of the strongest pack in the world. Add in my rogues and we'll be able to dominate over all the packs. So we're gonna give you a slow painful death while we wait for Kace to die" she said laughing as if she had just finished telling the funniest joke in the world.

I was ok with dying. A little apprehensive about the slow and painful part but not the dying part. If I died I would be doing everyone a favor. Including myself. But I didn't like the idea of Anna hurting my mate. Sure I didn't want to be his mate. But that's because he deserved better than me.

I'm snapped out of my thought when a rogue injects something into my neck. It sends me into a flashback and not a happy one either.
