I was whimpering with a hood over my head and a rope tying my hands together. I was in pain and was so totally going to kick Sergio's ass once I saw him again. But for now, I had to wait and act upset that my group had abandoned me.

Somebody picked me up and took me somewhere. They might have tried to say something to me, but I couldn't hear with the hood over my head, so I stayed silent and whimpering.

I was roughly placed on the floor of something, and the bag was ripped from my head. I blinked past the black eye I had received from Sergio and stared at my fuming mate and noticed Joel standing behind him.

"Where were you?" he asked, causing me to whimper and look down. He grabbed my face roughly and made me look at him. "Well?" he asked.

"They kidnapped me," I whimpered, blinking back tears. "They kidnapped me and told me that I wasn't welcomed back with them."

"Who?"

"The Guardsmen," I replied. "They didn't like it that I had changed my mind about you, especially Sergio."

"Was he the one that made you look like this?" he asked, hiding back his glee.

I sniffled and tried to nod my head but couldn't. "Yes," I replied, solemnly. "You were right all along. They don't care about me. They just used me for their gain."

"And?" he asked.

"And, you were right all along," I replied, looking at him as a doting mate should and trying not to hurl. "I should have never doubted you. Forgive me?"

"Yes, my little pet," he said, stroking my cheek roughly. "I will forgive you after Joel finishes with you. Tonight, I will treat you."

I shuddered, but it wasn't one with delight. I knew what he meant by treating me and prayed that the spell would hold.

"Now, be a good girl, and do whatever Joel wants you to do." He patted my head, finally letting go of my chin. He stood and looked at Joel. "Use the whip. She needs to be punished."

"Yes, Alpha," Joel said. His voice was void of any emotion. He didn't look at me, but I could tell that he didn't want to do it.

"How did you escape?" Camen asked, looking at me.

"I was kidnapped," I whimpered. "I don't know how they were able to get me out."

Camen frowned, and I could tell that he didn't believe me. "Hit her harder," he said. "She is lying."

"Yes, Alpha," Joel said.

Camen nodded his head, scowled at me, and left without another word.

I watched Joel with half-closed eyes not, knowing what to think about him. I knew that he had to have some loyalty to me, or at least he had some loyalty to Parker.

Joel walked over to where the whip was and picked it up. He didn't say a word as he walked over and stood over me.

I stayed silent and lifted my head until I stared at him, making sure my face was blank. My whole body tensed automatically as if he had whipped me again, even though he hadn't.

Finally, he sighed and tossed the whip to my side. "I can't," he said. "I can't hit you again."

I shifted until my feet were underneath my body and sat up. "And why not? Didn't you pledge your loyalty to him, abandoning your own Alpha?" I asked, being salty.
