The Alpha King's Rejected Mate (Nyx and Lycus)

4

I didn't know which was worse, the whip landing on by back that had silver spikes embedded in it or the burning sensation around my wrist due to the silver cuffs.

I bit back my screams so as not to give him the satisfaction but my pains and his torture increased.-

I couldn't take it any more.

Do you want me to? Hera asked.

Yes, do it please.

I smiled inwardly as I felt the wounds on my back closing, and the blood begin to dry up, Hera was helping me heal and I didn't think the Beta would mind as only Alpha Titan had told me not to heal myself while he punished me.

"Did you just heal yourself?" Beta Carlos growled, "How dare you?" The whip came down but not on my back this time. It landed on my torso whipping across my bosom and I shrieked in pain, "You seem unbreakable uhn?"

He walked over to the table and picked up a syringe, "I will break you!" He stepped back to me and stabbed the syringe in my thigh injecting it's contents into my system. I felt my body weaken and my limbs were turning flaccid. It was silver and wolfsbane, another syringe was stabbed in my other thigh and I got the same reaction even worse.

The liquid filled me weakening my limbs and numbing my senses. I couldn't fight back, I couldn't even feel Hera. He took a knife and stabbed me in my belly causing me to cry out and he twisted it in my guts.

"Let's see you heal yourself now." He laughed heartily before pulling out the knife and moving to my thighs again. He ripped off part of my skirt and began carving out words on my exposed skin. I didn't

know what he wrote and I was too filled with pain to try and decipher what he was writing.

I felt blood trickling down my thighs as I struggled to keep my eyes open, my breathing increased and he suddenly stabbed the knife in my thighs again.

"I don't know why you are still kept in this pack." He said taking my jaw between his fingers and jerking my face up, "He should have gotten rid of you a long long time ago."

I had a lot of things to tell him but I bit back my words

"And then you had a child and dared to clawim that it was his." He growled, "You and your useless mutt should be thrown out for the rouges to feast on." He said, "Tsk…tsk…tsk…look at you pathetic little fool, no one would want you, you and that bastard mutt of yours. Can't you see you are cursed? What type of a woman has a child who shifts very early? You are being punished by the moon goddess cause you are a damned weakling."

"Leave my child out of this!" I said weakly, "She has done nothing wrong to you."

"Bold of you to think that you can talk back at me!" He barked slapping me across the face, "Maybe, that's why you are jealous!" He drew a long line down my sides with the knife, "Cause you have a cursed mutt for a child, that's why you want to harm my child and my mate." He stabbed the knife into my sides causing me to yelp.

"Please, Beta Carlo, please…" I had to beg. The pain was way too much for me to bear, "Please, forgive me…"

"Oh now, you can beg?" He grinned, it was a terrifying one, "I think I have had enough with you." He said throwing the knife aside and releasing the cuffs.

I fell to the ground, hitting my head on it and I sobbed.

"Weakling." He hissed kicking me severely, "Make sure you make it back to the pack house to prepare dinner for everyone and be by Nora's side to attend to her cravings."

He left the torture room and slammed the door hard causing me to jolt. He left me there in my own pool of blood and I wondered how I was going to get out.

I ducked as she flung the plate at me and it met with the wall breaking into tiny pieces.

"I don't want that!" She screamed, "It smells fucking bad, hell! It smells as bad as you."

I ahivered as she continued hurling insults at me afraid that the Beta will walk in again and punish me for getting his mate mad.

I didn't want that.

I was still bleeding for what he had done today and I ached all over. After I had managed to crawl out if the torture house, I got to the pack house and straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner amidst taunts and jeers from the pack members about my appearance and talks about why didn't the beta end my life and how I shouldn't get blood in their food.

I had successfully prepared their dinner without anyone hitting or choking me and I managed to escape the kitchen and not fall into the hands of warriors who would use me all night as it was a norm with them.

Now, I was standing before Nora as she complained. She had specifically asked for a different dish which I had prepared and now here she was saying that it stunk.

"Go and make me some soup now!" She barked and I immediately struggled to the kitchen to prepare it for her. I finished up quickly and took it to her. She accepted the food and I stood there

waiting for her to order me around when she glared at me. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"What are you doing here?"

"I…"

"Get lost!"

I left her room at her words and went back to the kitchen. I finished up the dishes and cleared the mess the pack members had made.

I walked to the basement as I was done for the day, holding the messed up pancakes I had intended to pick earlier. I hadn't seen Amara since I came back from the torture house and I guessed that she would be in the basement playing with fluffy.

I reached my destination and got in. The sight I met made the content in my hands fall to the ground as a shrill cry left my lips.
