Page 23 of Her Destined Alpha
“She’s pretty hot... if only she weren’t a witch, I wouldn’t mind some of that,” the first man spoke. Coming over, he grabbed her face and spat at her. A small whimper left her lips as the man punched her straight in the face.
“Stop!” I growled. Never have I felt like this. All I could see was red, and the urge to kill was tempting me.
I heard a gasp, and I was back in her room. She stumbled, her eyes wide with horror as she looked at me. My claws were out, my eyes burning green.
“Who the fuck were they?” I asked dangerously. My aura rolled off me in crashing waves as I glared ahead.
I was going to find each of those bastards, even if I had to scour the damn earth. I would kill them slowly and, sure as hell, painfully. Every one of those bastards was going to pay for the pain they caused her.
I swear by Selene herself.
A Few Spells
Delsanra
Iwanted him to realise that his kind were monsters, that I could never accept them… I wanted him to realise that and just leave me alone. But the effect it had…
He was able to pull out of the memory before he had even seen the worst of it, and the anger that radiated from him made me stumble backwards. His eyes blazed green, and his voice was terrifying.
“Who the fuck were they?”
I didn’t know, but would he take his anger out on me if I said that? I couldn’t be so sure. Our eyes met, and his returned to their usual gorgeous grey. He walked toward me, and I stepped back.
“I… I don’t know who they were.”
I flinched when he raised his hands, only for my eyes to widen in surprise as he cupped my face. The rough pads of his fingers felt good against my cool skin. My heart skipped a beat when he looked down at me. The pain and anguish that I saw in his eyes made my own sting. I placed my hand on his chest, feeling his heart racing beneath my fingertips.
Don’t show your weakness...Why did he have this effect on me? He shook his head, unable to say anything, when he closed his eyes then removed his hands from my face and instead wrapped his arms around me.
I gasped. My hands were pressed between our chests, his strong arms around me tightly, his damp hair pressed against my cheek.
“Nothing I do will take away the hell you have been through. But I swear I will make this world a better place for you. Please, just give me a chance to prove myself.” His words were soft, thick with emotions, his scent was soothing, and his arms around me felt so… comforting. But he was a monster just like the rest…Right?
My mind wandered to Jo. She was a young werewolf. We had kind of been there for one another in the cells. Back then, I thought that perhaps some werewolves were good, but what I went through after I woke up from the coma…
When those werewolves who had murdered Lilly and Alfred first came, they had tortured all three of us, then killed Lilly in front of Alfred. He had managed to distract them so I could run, but in the end, they had been able to capture me.
That was when it all started; the mental torture, the trauma…
They had humiliated me by stripping me bare, urinating on me, and beating me. They would cover my face with a cloth before dousing me with water. Their chilling laughs and disgusting comments still rang in my mind... I could go on, but it only made everything come back. I was trying to stay strong… but…
The memories made tears blur my eyes. No one should have gone through that. Why did the gods hate me? I couldn’t stop the tears that streamed down my cheeks, a sob escaping my lips.
No, I couldn’t cry in front of him. He stroked the back of my hair, and our bodies moulded together as one.
He was one ofthem.
I tensed and pulled away suddenly.
I couldn’t accept him. Didn’t he realise that just seeing him brought back those painful memories?
“Now you know. When I see you, all I remember is them. So please just leave,” I whispered.
I knew my words would hurt him… but I had no choice. A rejection; I needed to reject him, but would he accept it? There was one way to find out. Taking a deep breath, I looked him in the eye, noticing his thick black lashes. He really was… beautiful.
I looked down, trying to clear my head.
“I, Delsanra Silver, reject you, Rayhan Rossi, as my mate.”
