Chapter 0370

⚠️Trigger Warning⚠️

“That was actually him being nice.” She wipes her face. “He must be trying to impress you.” She winces as she moves to sit up. “Normally he likes to use whips and ropes. He likes to be rough, so this,” She waves a dismissive hand, “Was nothing.”

“What?!” I couldn’t keep the horror out of my voice. “I’ve been beaten before, but never assaulted. I’ve never been with anyone like that ever.” My panic starts to rise. Of all the things I have been through. I don’t know if I will survive this. The sadness and fear turns to anger. Anger at the idea that he is going to take something that is supposed to be special from me. He’s already made me afraid of it.

Jena fell into a fitful sleep and it wasn’t long before one of the warriors was back and I immediately retreated back to the wall and made myself as small as possible, afraid I was next on the list of s*x slaves.

“Don’t worry, I can’t have you… yet, but I do need to get a few things done, so hold still.” I did the exact opposite and started flailing and kicking as soon as he got too close. I had no idea what he was here to do, but I decided that no one was going to touch me the way Mike touched Jena. I got him in the groin and in the jaw before he could move away and run from the room. The scuffle didn’t disturb Jena’s sleep at all.

My new punching bag came in, bleeding from the lip, with the other two warriors that were here earlier and they held me down while he stuck a needle in my arm and took a vial of blood. Then just to prove a point they each took a strong swing at my face and kicked me in the sides. I think I passed out from the pain.

I woke up later to someone else sticking a needle in my arm. I don’t know what they need the blood for and I don’t know how much or how often they were taking it, but it felt like I was getting weaker and I just fell in and out of sleep. I did wake up to Mike hitting Jena with a loud smack of skin on skin contact and he was violating her again, she wasn’t so quiet this time, her cries stinging my ears, but I couldn’t keep my eyes open long enough to do or say anything. I do remember the wild anger in Mike’s eyes though, that look is burned into my memory for good. This went on for days or maybe weeks, I have no sense of time here. My mind feels as numb as my body, like something inside is broken.

I don't remember dreaming either, just waking up with a start, panicking and breathing heavily. Sometimes there were people in the cell, sometimes it was just Jena and I.

I did wake up to a soft cloth being wiped over my forehead and a small voice saying “Shhh.”

"Who are you?" I whisper through dry cracked lips as I blink and try to sit up, but I'm too weak to even move.

“It doesn't matter, but the Moon Goddess told me I need to help you. I don't have long, so listen. Tonight when dinner comes, eat everything.”

"But, it’s poisoned.” I start to protest, but she shakes her head.

“Not tonight. Eat everything, it will help you get rid of the poisons in your body and by morning you should be able to connect with your wolf. That is all I can do. You have to get out. We are out of time.”

“I'm not leaving Jena here. He'll kill her if I leave. I have to find Gentry too.” I groan, my stubbornness not letting me lay down while I am arguing. I don't know why I am so adamant about this but I am not just going to leave them here if this is how he treats females.

“Gentry is taking care of your food, don't worry about her, she is safe for now. You are the most important thing right now. We aren’t too far from your friends.”
