Alpha's Insanity

Twenty Two

Breathing felt as though a lead weight was compressing her lungs, agonizingly painfully crushing the life out of her body. The shortage of breath caused her to increase her breathing to an erratic pace in a feeble attempt to force oxygen around her body to prevent her from passing out. When her eyes eventually find the courage to snap open, dreads consumes every morsel of her being as she comes the haunting reality of her current whereabouts.

Damien stood lazily in the corner observing her. He was very much aware that Fay was awake but he enjoyed allowing the anticipation of what was to come to sink into her brain and increase the fear without even having to do anything but stand there. It was a moment of weakness when he left her to die, Damien didn't really want to let Fay go or die, no, she was going to be his mate no matter how insane she had turned as a result of the torture that he had put her through.

Perhaps he could even teach her into truly loving him now.

Walking around her, he began to inspect her. Looking at her frail, clothed body, her slightly bruised face from the kidnapping. He frowned at the bruises before quickly masking his emotions. He didn't have emotions and never would.

"You thought that you could escape me, my dear?" Damien smirked as he sauntered towards her again. "You thought I would give up my mate?"

Mate. Ryder. Tears seeped out of her eyes and she knew that now she would never get her hope of a happy ever after with her Ryder. Albeit she did not know her mate well and was indeed still scared of his touch and powerful aura along with his fierce reputation, she somehow wanted his comfort, his love. She want to end this torture and her illness.

"Speak to me, my dear," he whispered by her ear sending a shiver of disgust shooting down her spine at the proximity of another male so close to her other than Ryder.

"Please," Fay whimpered attempting to move away.

"Please what? Give you up?" Damien whispered as he dragged a finger across her lips. "I won't ever give my mate up- not even during your sickness."

"You're not my mate," she strangled out a sob. Damien's smirk was instantly replaced with a furious scowl as his hand shot out and snapped Fay's head to the side with a chilling shriek of pain escaping her lips before she could prevent it. Her other cheek snapped onto the cool metal table that Damien had her strapped to by every limb and her stomach.

"Oh, but my dear, when he knows how you're not completely pure he will reject you and you will have nowhere left to go but right back into my arms. Not to mention your sickness. How many have you slaughtered now? You'll be going to the Underworld for eternity for them sins, my dear," Damien snarled as he leaned over her fragile body before pressing kisses up her neck as she struggled beneath him to no avail.

"Stop! Please!" Fay wailed, thrashing around as much as she could in the restraints that pinned her down. But it felt like a boulder had just been dropped in the pit of his stomach because realization dawned upon her, she would be damned to the Underworld for all eternity when she died to pay for the crimes that she has committed. She had to prolong her death as long as possible.

"Mine."

"No, please!"

"They're down, move up," Ashton whispered to Silus.

"For fuck sake, Ashton, we're in a bloody ice cream shop, we're not on a bloody mission you twat," Silus scolded quietly whilst trying to avoid the confused stares from members of the Obsession Pack who were probably wondering why two of the most serious Alphas, one from the Fury Pack and one from the Deception Pack, in an ice cream shop.
