My bottom lip quivered and my eyes burned, "Please?" his eyes begged for me to tell him and I didn't want to hurt him, "M-my family," I murmured as the tears poured out of my eyes, "They hate me," Looking into Chris' eyes, I noticed that I had his full attention, "They kept me locked in the basement. Rarely giving me food. Whenever I spoke out, they would hurt me. My brother- he..." by then I was full on crying, barely able to breathe. Chris wiped my tears and pulled me into his chest, "He raped me," his heartbeat sped up and his eyes were full of rage. Chris had saved me, loved me, cured me, and I can't even tell him the complete truth.

"What am I going to do with you, Hera? You aren't allowed to leave, so just trust me and take a bath. I won't do anything." "My brothers once told me to never, under any circumstances, trust an enemy. That's what I see you as right now, leave me the fvck alone!" I yelled at him, stuffing all of my stuff into a large suitcase. I needed out, he's just going to use me like Jax always did, "Mon amour-" "Don't even try to talk me out of this in our language!" I slapped him, huge mistake. He'll hurt me. I just know it, he's that type of person. He stalked towards me, throwing me to the wall, then holding my wrists down, "S-stop!" I wriggled around, only to his advantage. As his fist came towards me for the eighth time, the door burst open, revealing somebody I thought I'd never see again. My love.

"Dad- STOP!" I screamed, blood rushing to my head as he pushed me out of the way. My heart sank, causing me to gasp out in breaths. I couldn't breathe due to my choked sobs. My mate, he was there and I needed him. He's supposed to be my King, my lover, my best friend. I can't let this happen to him, it will be my fault. "Release!" My father shouted. He dropped. And at that moment, I grabbed life by its balls and made the worst mistake in Royal history.

A story of first true love between an unsuspecting, extroverted girl and an awkward, beautifully magnetic boy. WARNING: Explicit sexuality. All Rights Reserved to styleslegend, 2018 ©

DISCLAIMER: This story was written in late 2012. I wrote Strings Attached as an adolescent with no idea how a healthy, adult relationship should function. This story is dark and twisted in a way that my teen mind couldn't comprehend at the time. There are more than a few scenes in this book with sensitive content. I--in no way--support rape culture and I do not condone my character's actions. However, as I said, this story was written in an ignorant state of mind. I will not remove this story from Wattpad. It is part of my past and though I am disappointed with the content, it shows how far I've come not just as an author but as a free-thinking adult. Thank you for reading. **Excerpt** "Say... it," She gasped, throwing her head back, cupping my face in her hands so that I was forced to meet her gaze. "You're mine." She held my gaze for a second more, before crushing her lips against my own, arms wrapping tight around my neck, pulling me down to her level. Arms sliding easily around her, she wrapped her legs around me as I lifted her up, lips traveling over her chest and collarbone. She moaned as my hands dug into her tender flesh, pulling on it, their violence a stark contrast to the gentle kisses teasing their way up her neck. Bright lines marked the paths that my nails had etched into her skin, marking her, beautiful red tattoos, spreading out over her entire body. Her small hands knotted in my hair, pulling harder and harder as she fought the urge to cry out...
