Permanent tears stained my face. "We shall run" I trembled on the verge of breaking free.
"We shall run..." He repeated shifting on his carpet.
I hoisted myself into a sitting position looking out of the chained windows. The visible stars twinkled and shimmered.
"One day," I thought "I'll be free.." My eyes scanned the room full of yarn and thread. "One day..." I repeated slowly drifting into a heavy slumber.
--------------------------------------------
I breathe the same sadness as an enclosed cheetah. Longing to stretch. Longing to run. I want to feel the rugged dirt beneath my feet and the warm sky above my head. All this is false hope. I am stuck. I am stuck. I am stuck for an eternity.

"I bandaged everything the best I could. It will need stitches. However, I'm afraid that it is broken. Same as your leg. Broken and needs stitches. How's your head feeling? I haven't been able to get that sucker to stop bleeding." His voice sliced through the air. I stare at him, confused, looking around, wanting to be anywhere but here. He clears his throat once again. "Mate, did you hear me?" "How is your head feeling?" I close my eyes. What the fuck? What the fuck? I was angry, annoyed, and frightened. What, mate? What cruel world would make me mate with a wolf? No, no, no... My arm and leg were throbbing intensely. My head was screaming. I brought my fingers up to my head to try and rub the pain away. I needed to leave. Now. I told myself. My mind is still groggy, unable to swiftly move my body like I need to. I didn't even notice I was crying until his voice rang through my ears once again.

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.

Identical Alpha Twins and Silver Shackles (edited/ Complete)
"Are those silver?!" His voice was loud and startling after my moment of quiet reflection, but it was also oddly calming, soothing even, maybe I had hit my head. I slowly nodded in answer to his question, but I could see more chasing themselves through his facial expression. 'who', 'why', 'when', 'how', 'why didn't she tell anyone' 'why didn't she run?'. He seemed to be struggling with which question to ask first or maybe he wasn't sure he wanted to know the answers. He studied me critically while slowly shaking his head. It looked like he made a decision about me at the same time he realised he needed his brother.Complete
Mentality
"Hi Little One." His voice breathes life into my soul, as I bring my hand to his face the tears sticky against my skin.

My heart begins to race. My lungs tighten as the walls seem to close in on me. Their staring eyes stab through my muscles as I turn stiff. Then I realize it. My mind and eyes looking for an escape. I want to run away. I want to leave. I suddenly feel trapped. For the first time, his blue eyes do not create that comfort mg heart yearned for all these years. They're the same icy coldness I saw in my father when he left. "I'm sorry. I...I can't." Run. Run just like he did to you. Break him just like he did to you.

The Secret (Book 1 of the Secret Series)
I gasped and choked in pain. My body felt like it was on fire and I couldn't breathe. I could feel every nerve in me twitch and my body moved with it. No part of me was still. I was pulling at my restraints one minute, and then I was jerking in pain the next. There was no room for being still. I could hear beeping and talking around me, but I couldn't make out any actual sound. It was all jumbled up and confusing. I screamed in pain as it pulsed trough me. I pulled and jerked and pulled and jerked over and over again. My body wasn't in my control, I knew it wasn't and I hated it. I never wanted to be this out of control again. "MAX!" I screamed his name as the worst of the pain came. It was all I could do. There was no getting out of this.Complete
