Chapter XV- Where She's kidnapped

*Derek's PoV*

The day was going pretty smooth until I was told that I was called again for a meeting in the main quarters. I have made pretty clear that I want nothing to do with werewolf council or royalties. This power thing has caused so much damage in our lives so far. Even so I don't even think I'm a werewolf anymore.

We are and the throne is ours...

My wolf tells me and I just sigh, I'm not used to having him inside me, it has been so long as an empty vessel. The thing is, I just accepted to lead this pack because I saw how disrupted everyone was after war, this is the way they expressed their eternal gratitude for freeing them from the dictatorship of my father; one thing is being a king, another different thing is trying to be a God, he was trying to make himself God, with the help of those stupid witches. Now I know why is it that in the mediaeval era, they used to be burnt in public.

I arrive and dismiss everyone going straight to my office and do some paperwork to keep my head off all this stuff. Her scent hit my guts as soon as I cross the door in waking up every cell in me. I so want her now, more than ever. Want to find comfort in her. I look at her with the dark circles around her eyes, her expression sad and I ask myself what am I doing breaking this angel?

My mate knows just why she rejected me; I'm a fuck up... I was thought that love and mates weakens one... But still the pain was pretty bad when in the time I needed her the most she abandoned me.

I feel the rage all over her when she puts her hands to my wheelchair with her eyes demanding on me. "What have you done to me?" She asks in agony. But it's all her fault...

It's our fault, we claimed her.

No, it's her fault. She should have never come in my territory and wake you up. I was just ok when I couldn't feel anything.

You thought you were ok, until when will you run away from us.

I don't want any of this...

*Lydia's poV.*

He just looks at me with those murderous eyes of him as if I don't deserve to know what is going on with me, I know it's because of him and that stupid bite. He puts his hand around my neck and I just forgot for a second the monster that he is, I got too close.

He draws me right near to his face, I just keep on praying that those fangs don't inject on my skin once again.

"Let go off me." I utter trembling.

"You want to know what I did?" He asks and I wonder now if I really want to know. "I made you mine."

"I'm not yours, Derek. I will never belong to a monster like you. I just want to be able to close my eyes and not see you. I want to be able to kiss the man I love and not feel guilty because you occupy my thoughts. I want to go to bed and have a peaceful night sleep without having to fear falling into a pit of darkness." I say with tears rolling down my eyes, his eyes that were totally dark now soften, and I thought that for a mare second he was having compassion with my troubles. Instead he just draws himself even closer, I just waited for the moment he would bite me again pressing my lips tight closed. I wasn't able to move or push him away, somehow my body surrendered to his will.

he moves my blouse away from my shoulder stroking where my mark is and activating every single cell in my body. I let a gasp escape my lips before his warm breath blows in my ear.

"Keep out of my head." He whispers and lets me go. I step back looking at him, he eyes me with fury. "Go into your chamber, not a word about your stupid dreams or that stupid mark and don't leave until I say so."

I just run along the corridors and stop in one crying my eyes out.

"Lydia." I hear Fabian call; I turn to him. Didn't want him to see me like this, he would ask questions. "What's going on?" he asks concerned.

"Just stay away from me." I says and run into my room locking the door and I didn't leave, not because Derek says, but because I didn't want to have to see him. I curse the fact that I can't stop thinking about him now, he's everywhere. In my head, on my skin.

"...You are weak and useless. My son is not a mamma's boy. One day you will have to take over throne and you are behaving like a bitch." He hears the man say before feeling the silver lash hit his skin, he couldn't even cry of pain, because it would be motive for further punishment.

"...I don't want your throne." The boy groans between his teeth turning to the man... I just wanted it to stop, it was way too much. I couldn't stand there and feel his pain every time...

A knock on the door interrupts my light sleep, I have been waking up every five minutes, trying to not catch myself on a deep sleep because it would be hard to wake up, but these nightmares seem to be catching to me even awake now. I stand up lazily and pace to the door. I open it and smiling Vanessa stands there, she didn't even wait to be invited in, she makes herself comfortable on my bed.

"Good morning to you too."

"Good afternoon." she replies laughs. I look at the clock and it's 1. 02 pm... How did I manage to sleep that long? "Happy Birthday." She says with a huge smile and shows off a small box on her hand.

"Thank you." I say under a sigh, for a while I forgot I'm turning eighteen today. "It was not necessary." I say as she comes to me and insists that I open it.

"Oh, it's pretty." I say frowning by the fact that I have seen that shape, only this one is somehow more complex. I hold the necklace up to my eye level and couldn't give deliverance to my facial expression.

"You didn't like it?" She asks frowning.

"Of course, I did. It's beautiful, what's this shape?" I ask curious.

"It's like the mark of our Alpha, isn't it pretty. It's like our pack symbol." She explains and I just start getting dizzy. "I thought it would be like a welcome to the family."

"Oh, right. That was so thoughtful." I say all nervous.

"And! we are planning an escape tonight. You are getting your first legal drink, and we will dance all night and make this epic." She says all euphoric.

"Mmm, Derek knows?"

"He doesn't have to. He said he doesn't want the part in the house. So we take it outside." I shake my head at sleek Vanessa.

I think for a while and drinks sounded really good, I feel like passing out in a tub of liquor of so miserable I'm feeling.

"I'm in."

"That's my girl." She says and jogs to the door blowing me kisses before closing the door.

I run to the mirror and watch the mark spot comparing with the necklace, I freeze in place at least for the next half an hour. Now I get why he called me his property. that's because he marked me this way. "Bastard."

After making me try a bunch of clothes, she finally decides that I'm looking sexy in a little black dress, I put on full make up for the first time and I refused to wear the pumps, the last time they really killed my feet

After making me try a bunch of clothes, she finally decides that I'm looking sexy in a little black dress, I put on full make up for the first time and I refused to wear the pumps, the last time they really killed my feet. We jog outside in the silence of the night and I really want this to be epic, I want to forget everything. I'm no one's property. I'm tired of the world kicking my ass, when I treat everybody right. I send love and only receive shit in return. It was enough ten years with Chloe, I'm a big girl and I'm not letting no Alpha dictate my life.

I noticed Fabian a bit distant and I really want to keep it that way, I'm so ashamed of how I felt near to Derek and feel repugnant. Vanessa warned us that we would just be breaking each other's hearts and here I'm feeling like a bitch heartbreaker.

We reach to the club and was right away introduced to the bar. It was full and everyone was having a good time, I wish I was feeling more euphoric, just like them.

Five Tequila shots are put in front of me. "You don't have to listen to Nessa." Fabian says and he looked kind of disappointed. What type of girl he thinks I am? I just never head the opportunity to live and now after feeling all that suffering, I just want to have fun.

"Fabian, hush." Vanessa scolds and I see Caleb laughing just behind her. "Stop being such a Derek." She says and we laugh.

They are like the angel and the devil on my shoulders.

"I'm good." I say turning to Fabian, I take the shot down and feel the burn on my throat and the wave of excitement go through my body, I'm presented with a piece of lemon and I suck on it starting to laugh right after. That was horrible... I still get cheers until I'm done with all five shots.

I don't know if I had too much already, I just saw Steve Junior. Shit, Chloe's pest is here and he saw me. I ignore him and continue doing my thing.

We sit to a table and they order champagne that comes with fireworks coming out of it all the way from the bar.

We hit the dance floor and I just move my body, I love this feeling. I feel a grip on my arms and turn to see Fabian. "Haven't you had enough?" he asks.

"Let go of me. I'm fine. I'm having fun." I say and shove him away. He steps back watching me from far, but I just keep on doing my thing.

I feel all the contents of my stomach rise to my throat and try to find my way off the dance floor.

I bump on someone and mutter a sorry but the guy doesn't let me go, it took me a minute until I recognise why his voice sounded so damn annoying.

"Isn't this, Lydia?" Steve junior says and I shove him away to not touch me.

"Steve, you had to be here, you, asshole." I say and he just starts laughing.

"You are drunk." he laughs and I start laughing too.

"I'm feeling super, now get out of my way." I say and shove him aside before starting to walk away.

"Come on let's dance." He pushes me towards him and I push him away. Going on my way. I reach to the corridor and fall on my knees. I feel someone help me up and take me outside.

I start throwing up until I could no more.

"That's my girl. You looking fucking pretty."

"Steve, I told you to leave me alone." I try to fight him, his body pressed on mine. I see other guys with him and I get scared, but was very numb to fight him. He pushes me into a car and I look around to see myself surrounded with crooks eyeing me with lust.

"We are going to have so much fun tonight, Lydia. You little whore, I will make you pay for all the times you rejected me."
