Sacrificed to the Savage

chapter 5

Chapter 5

I woke up with a start the sunlight shining through the opened drapes. Turning over in the bed I winced at my throbbing muscles. Although not as bad as last night. Last night! groaning I place my head in the pillow and hit the bed with my fists.

 I can’t believe I just let him take advantage of me like that. “You didn’t seem to mind when you were screaming out in ecstasy Claire bear.”  Wait I did not just call myself Claire bear in my head. No that voice wasn’t mine. “No it wasn’t it was mine” I hear the voice again recognising darius in my head. “How you…” no it can’t be true Darius isn’t my mate. I don’t have a mate im human. ” I scream shock and anger running through my system. “I can assure you my love you are most defiantly my mate I have the mark on my shoulder to prove it. When you bit into my shoulder trying to contain your cries of pleasure you became mine in every way possible.” What no impossible, that’s it there has to be a way to undo this.

Quickly getting out of bed I rush to the robe and grab a pair of darius’s boxers and a shirt that looks like a dress on me. Im gonna give him a piece of my mind stupid werewolf, who does he think he is marrying me against my will taking away my family threatening their lives and what for? To take my innocence. 

 I rush to the door hoping it’s not locked, it’s not “pfffft bastard got what he wanted doesn’t need me caged anymore” I whisper to myself. Running down the long hallway trying to find my way out I run into Lana “excuse me Lana can you please tell me where Darius is?” I say kindly remembering my behaviour last night. “Sure Luna, Alpha is in the dining hall having breakfast with the elders, would you like me to give him a message for you.” I smile at Lana brightly my anger is not with her “no that’s ok Lana I’ll just go see the king myself”. As I turn to walk away Lana grabs my arm looking at me pleadingly “Luna I don’t think that’s a good idea why don’t you just lie down and I’ll bring you some breakfast and you can talk to the alpha later?” Lana says begging. “No I’d rather go and see Darius now then I’ll go and make my own food in the kitchens.”  I say sternly walking away only for my arm to be grabbed again, becoming inpatient I scream “what, what’s happening that I can’t go to the dining hall?” I watch as Lana flinches I suppress the need to say sorry by remembering that this girl is also one of the kind that killed my mother. “Y..you might get embarr..assed Luna it its tradition that the king and the elders of the pack have breakfast together after the wedding night, the Luna doesn’t usually attend.” Lana stutters softly. I snort to myself “well im not the Luna im Claire and I don’t abide by the pack rules.” I firmly say walking away down the stairs.

As I follow the hallway I hope that it leads to the dining hall. “You shouldn’t come see me now I will see you once the elders are finished.” I hear Darius in my head. “Get out of my head” I scream. “Suit yourself” once again Darius’s firm voice appears. Stupid arrogant nosy werewolf I think to myself. As I turn a corner I stop in front of two giant oak doors. “Ah ha” slamming the doors open I am met with silence as about twenty heads turn in my direction staring at me. I stumble backwards for a second before composing myself head held high I walk in spotting my target at the head of the table trying to suppress a smirk on his handsome face. What am I saying scrap handsome, evil face.  

As I walk in I notice the elders are still silent looking at me with grins on their faces as well. Why would they be smiling at me I think to myself?  “And what do I owe this visit kitten” I hear Darius say in humour as everyone laughs at his form of endearment. My cheeks turn red as I reach him anger boiling at the surface “who do you think you are listening to my thoughts and trying to push me around. I don’t know what type of magic you y…” my voice trails off as I look behind Darius. Tears start to pool in my eyes as I stare at what’s behind Darius’s head but I wouldn’t give these beasts the satisfaction of watching them fall. Behind Darius’s is a pole on the very top of the pole hanging like a flag of achievement is a white blood stained sheet. The sheet that we laid on last night. I look into Darius’s eyes as one lone tear slips from my eye dropping onto cool tiled floor. Darius’s looks at me sternly anger in his eyes, I think I see a sliver of pity but it’s gone quickly. “Leave” he roars in his Alpha voice to the people in the room most of the elders cowering at the sheer power of his voice. Rushing out like death is upon them.

I turn to walk out when Darius grabs my hand harshly “not you” he growls through gritted teeth.  I turn back around head held high facing my worst enemy. Grabbing my arms Darius leans down so that he is facing me close enough that our noses are touching “You will not talk to me like that, I have warned you too many times. Just because you are my mate doesn’t mean you can get away with disrespect I’m not like other Alphas that let their mates walk all over them I am the king. You will stop this or I will be forced to punish you. Do you understand? Do you?” Darius quietly sneered in my face. His quiet anger scares me more than when he is yelling but I will not give in.

 I stood there as Darius pulled away walking to the dreaded sheet and pulling it down. My anger explodes “what have I ever done to you to deserve all of the things you have done to me. Please enlighten me your oh mighty highness. What did I do to your kind for them to murder my mother? WHAT?” I scream as darius turns around looking at me “what did I do to be dragged to a wedding I didn’t want, to a man that I have never met and a thing that I detest! To be brutally bitten by a savage then taken against my will. Parading his accomplishment in front of more savages like im a game to be played to see how far you can go before you destroy me completely. WHAT DID I DO!?” I scream shacking with tears in my eyes I watch as Darius walks closer “Enough Claire” Darius says shacking my shoulders “my pacts and I had nothing to do with your mother’s death. Rogues broke into the safety area and attacked her. You had a choice to marry me Claire and you did marking you was just a part of the wedding I warned you not to struggle or it would hurt you chose to struggle Claire.” He said viciously. “You married the monster that you claim to hate. But still you defied me so I punished you but you ended up liking it screaming out in pleasure screaming for your release.”

Darius eyes are glowing gold in anger as he shoves the blood stained sheet in my face “this is a tradition among my people which you will respect. You better start learning our traditions and accepting us Claire because I’m not letting you go.” He growled. “I hate you” I screamed at him and a loud slap echoes off the walls as I hit him in the face with all my might. Instantly I regret hitting him afraid that I hurt him. An emotion in me made me want to cry out at the pain I may have caused him I quickly quash It down wondering where it could of came from.

Darius doesn’t budge when I hit him he just stands their his fists are clenched by his side and I notice he is shacking, slowly backing away from him I look up to see his eyes are going from black to gold as he tries to control his wolf. I keep moving away as Darius starts stalking towards me. My back hits the wall and I’m trapped suddenly Darius picks me up and puts me over his shoulder walking out the way I came to the bedroom. I hit at his back screaming for him to put me down but he just growls “You disrespected me for the last time.”
