Wifey!!!
Stefan, is that you? I asked running into his embrace.
Yes, I told you to wait for you, I will be back.
You were taking too long.
Oh dear, you shouldn't have worried yourself too much, you should always Know that you are very important to me and I am not going to leave you all alone and I am always here, I didn't go anywhere.
Always here, how come I don't see you?
It is because you worried too much and you forget to take care of your heart if you keep breaking down, your heart will become weak and I might also die, do you know not having a place to call my own will cause my death?
Please don't talk about death, I don't want to hear the word death. I said raising my hand to close his lips, he kissed those hands of mine. That was when I realized something isn't right, my vision became clearer, it wasn't Stefan but this naughty Leonid.
I dragged my hand off his lips, he grinned at me.
Oh my Darling mate, I could see that you were exhausted and your hand are all tired from the laundry and your tummy have been craving food, let me take care of you, let me treat you right, you don't deserve this. His words were nice, but his thoughts are evil and I could see through him.
And I don't want to accept his offer.
I heard that your former maid is around, can you...
No, I haven't seen her since Stefan's death, I bet she doesn't want to be around the wife of a traitor. I lie through my teeth, Sara is becoming impatient, she will not be able to take Leonid or Kira's maltreatment, she will act and Leonid will find out that she is the same creature as Stefan.
Fine, you, go get the food and water, you should be fast and prepare a hot bath for her. Leonid commanded and the maid hurry to get the things that Leonid had asked for.
I look at him, Leonid will never give me all these things, without asking for something in return.
What do you want in exchange? I asked, as I pulled from the bed, that I was lying on, I am sure, it was as a result of my passing out that made him or the guards brought me here.
Oh my Darling, you really are impatient. He said caressing my lips, I pushed his hand from me, I don't want his lips against mine, I don't want any other man to touch me except my Stefan. Come on relax, you and I know that, you know what I wanted, I want to have you, I want to suck every part of your body, I want to touch you, in a way that Stefan hasn't touched you. I will make you forget all about Stefan, I will erase the memory of Stefan, you really don't need the memory of a monster.
I pushed his hand off me, never, I don't want him to touch me.
You don't want my help? He asked with gritted teeth.
You should know my answer, even if I was to be tortured or thrown into the lion's den, I will still not accept to be your mate.
Why? He asked with anger.
My heart belongs to another. He hit the table, carrying the food in front of me, in anger, his face is smoking, and he is looking scary and ready to devour me, he pushed me to the bed.
You should take her away and have her whipped, till her back is covered with scars and when the scars fade away, you should renew them when those wounds began to heal, the wounds should be split open, and products such as red pepper and turpentine be applied to the gashes. And have her ground a brick into rubble and dust, mixed it with lard, and had it rubbed into the wounds of this worthless woman.
And don't forget to lock her and those shackles, you should put them back on her, make her punishment times two, and don't give her food, she is only allowed to eat once a day and smaller than a child meal.
And if I heard that every instruction that I have given to you, you have failed to carry out properly even if it's just one then you will pay with your life.
Now take this silly idiot from me. Leonid commanded.
Till the day you understand that your life will remain a living hell if you don't agree to be my mate and still kept dreaming of Stefan's return the gate of hell will remain open to you. He glare at me, before closing the door behind me, the guard grabbed me roughly, pushing me out of the room, and this time I ended up on the ground, as I try to stand on my feet but what should I use to stand, if not strength and what will give me that strength, if I don't eat, not sleep but just work.
The guards grabbed me roughly and put me out of the castle, right there in the field those guards whipped goes right into my skin, with each whip falling on my back, I felt the words of Leonid, the gate of hell will remain open to me, I wanted the pain to stop, I pleaded with them to stop but they didn't, I can't blame them, their life is at risk.
As wicked as Leonid, I am sure, he is going to do what he said, if they don't do anything to me, he is really going to kill them.
My pain was unbearable, I was hurting, the pain wouldn't go away and it will not stop, after some time, the whip stopped falling on me, as if that isn't enough, they grabbed me back into the cage, and after placing those shackles on my arm and legs.
Sara was watching me, she watch as they pushed me back into the cage, with those shackles and blood on my body, I fall to the floor, and the only thing left for me, was my breath, that was the only thing that will show I am still alive.
My lady, don't you think this pain is too much?
What do you want me to do?
Stop the pain. I look at her with that question look like how.
Just say yes, accept him, you don't have to give him your body. You could manipulate him, you could make him...
No, I will never reject Stefan, Stefan is my one true mate, and I will wait for him.
What if he wouldn't come back?
That is not true my Stefan will return, he will come, and he will take me from this pain.
Sara pushed her hair back in frustration, I know that everyone now sees me as a mad woman, I kept saying that Stefan is going to return, he is going to take me away from here.
Fine, if you will not accept that, you should as well come with me.
No, I don't want to leave here.
My lady, do you want to die a prisoner, this is the only way I could think of freeing you for this.
My Stefan will come, he will come and free me, I am not going to die as a prisoner, he will set me free.
How can your dead husband come back for you?
My Stefan is alive, he is not dead, he will come for me.
You are suffering in the name of an alpha that will never come back, your husband is dead. My lady, get a grip of yourself, you and I know that I might not have an opportunity like this, let's go away now that the guards are not here.
Where are we going?
