Sacrificed to the Savage

chapter 6

I continued to hit Darius’s back as he walked up the stairs and down the hall. Servants stopping to watch what all the commotion was about, as we neared the bedroom Darius stopped to talk to someone in a whisper. “Put me down now” I screamed at the top of my lungs. “Stop man handling me” I yelled again. Giving up I slumped like a sack of potatoes face red with anger I crossed my arms on Darius back.

Walking into the room Darius put me back down noticing the door to the room is still open I ran out of it only to be stopped by a very large chest “for fuck sake” I yell out loud throwing my hands in the air. Titan stands in front of me his arms crossed over his chest. “Where do you think you’re going?” he sneers. Looking at him sternly I fold my arms across my chest “out” I reply. “Really and where would you be going out dressed like that?” Titan snorts it’s almost as if his amused at this situation. ” Well maybe if someone would tell me where my clothes are I wouldn’t be wearing the devils clothing” I scream.  “Now if you kindly move out of my way I’ll be leaving.” Titan just stares at me through long eyelashes before lifting his head and looking behind my shoulder a small smile gracing his lips. “King Alpha” he says nodding his head in respect. “Beta Titan I see you have stopped my wayward mate from escaping, I was going to let her run then chase her for a bit of fun but no need.” His husky voice sent shivers down my spine a small tingle shoots to my most feminie areas. I contain a breath pondering why Darius is having this effect on me, my body craves his touch but my mind hates. There’s no doubt that Darius is a great lover I’m still tender from the night before my body must just crave his skills I think to myself.

“I’ve brought what you wanted Alpha, no doubt the Luna needs it.” Titan says looking behind me at Darius. I hear Darius growl loudly “you will watch what you say about you Luna Titan.” Darius commands. Titan just stands rooted to the spot I slight quiver in his lip “yes Alpha my apologies Luna” Darius walks up to Titan grabbing what was in his hands I catch a quick glimpse to see it looks like a necklace. “You may go” Darius says to Titan turning around and now staring at me. I put my head down as Titan leaves hearing the door shut I know I’m better off being compliant while being alone with Darius werewolf’s are much stronger and faster then I, I would have no chance against his anger alone in a room. I feel Darius power radiating off his body his warmth seeps into my pores as he moves closer so close my nose is almost touching his chest. “So quiet now my dear Claire, afraid? Curious? Nervous? Aroused? I can smell all of those emotions coming out of your pores, why are you nervous Claire you brought this upon yourself. Or was it an excuse to get me alone so you can have your way with me. You like it rough.” Darius whispers in my ear shivers rake down my spine I contain a small gasp of pleasure that was about to be released. Darius sniffs “mmmmnn sweet sweet Claire I’m making you wet aren’t I, see mates have so many benefits unlike you humans we never tire of each other and I can always smell when you want me. But until you start to embrace our connection and obey me you will wear this as your punishment.” I feel something wrap around my neck quickly I move away from Darius and run to a mirror there is a beautiful thick chain wrapped around my  neck handcrafted on the chain are pictures of wolves standing tall and howling below the moon. As beautiful as the necklace was I didn’t want it I didn’t want Darius thinking my compliance could be brought reaching behind me I look for a clasp only to find there isn’t panicking I start to pull at the chain to try and break it that’s when I felt it starting to get tighter. So tight it’s now a struggle to get it off so that I don’t die. Ripping and clawing at the chain trying to gasp in breaths I hear Darius walk over and kneel down to my now fallen over form “ stop trying to take it off, it will stop tightening if you listen to me.” Slowly I take my hands away listening to Darius I feel the chain loosen again as I gasp for breath rubbing my neck where no doubt bruises are now marring my skin. “It’s a mate collar, you have it because you won’t obey me yet I can’t have my pacts thinking I can’t control you. And you need to listen to me to stay safe I have a lot of enemies do you understand me?” unable to talk I slowly nod my head. “Good every time you disobey me or try to take the collar off you will feel it tighten until you do obey, I didn’t want to do this Claire but you have given me no choice.” Darius says standing “I hate you” I whisper recovering my voice” I’ll always hate you”. “You may hate me know but the bond that we have will make you love me soon. Its inevitable Claire why not embrace your future with me instead of fighting it.” Darius says looking deep into my eyes, his eyes are mesmerising my legs start to become weak just looking into them. It’s a spell I hate him he forced himself on me his kind care nil for us humans I will not give in. standing straight I continue to look into Darius eyes with a stern look gracing my face “ I will never love or like a monster.” I hiss through my teeth. A sharp pain stabs my heart as I see a hint of sadness and then regret crosses over Darius eyes before anger replaces. Before I have time to process the pain that just coursed through my body from my own words Darius grasps my arms tightly.

A slight shiver of fear courses down my spine as I look into Darius’s eyes, eyes that are almost completely yellow as Darius fights his wolf. I let out a small gasp of pain feeling the bruises that are no doubt already marring my skin from where Darius is clutching my arms so tightly. “Get. On. The. Bed. Claire. NOW” Darius yells in my face. I will not get on the bed with him, I will not go through that again just as I thought that I felt the collar start to tighten. Darius lets go of my arms and stands stiff watching me waiting for me to get onto the bed. My hands instinctively go to the collar as it gradually gets tighter I won’t give in I won’t. Looking directly into his eyes I said “No” firmly as I could while still gasping sweet sweet oxygen. The collar immediately tightens more and I drop to the floor in pain as my lungs try to cope I look up “don’t………..make……me…..d..do this” I say between gasp. Darius just looks at me and shakes his head “get on the bed” he says more in control of his wolf. With barley any oxygen getting into my lungs I start to crawl to the bed slowly. The closer I got to the bed the looser the collar when I got to the bed the collar was loosened fully. Still on the ground clutching the duvet I sat getting my breathing under control before I pulled myself onto the bed sitting with my legs over the side head down the tears start to fall.

Tears for having to give into him again tears for my father worrying what has become of him, tears for my mother and the pain she may have suffered streamed down my face hitting the my hands that are clasped in my lap. I felt Darius move closer to me as the strange shivers ran down my spine. Kneeling down in front of me Darius grabbed my chin I moved it to the side not wanting him to see me as weak. “Look at me” he whispered. It wasn’t the power of the collar or the command in his voice that made me do it, it was a deep feeling in the pit of my stomach that drew me to Darius in comfort but I threw myself at him grasping his waist with my legs and my arms holding onto his neck for dear life as I sobbed away my sorrows into his neck. Loud heart wrenching sobs coming from all the pain I have been put through.

Darius stood up me still clinging to him laying down on the bed with me stroking my hair whispering sweet nothings in my ear “ sshhhh my love stop crying I can’t stand it.  Shhh im here.” Darius whispered kissing the tears that were running down my face. I remember feeling comftorble and safe “please don’t leave me everyone always leaves me.” I whispered before falling into a dreamless sleep not hearing the soft “never I’m in too deep” as Darius to fell asleep beside me.
