Chapter 13

Mature content *trigger warning*

I've been down in this cell for weeks now. Chained up like some dog. If I stay quiet they bring me food once a day so that's been my task everyday and today was no different. My brother came down again early in the morning. "I'll be leaving today Zaraphine. Be on your best behavior and nothing to bad will happen to you." He tells me. I stay quiet. "Hmm not gonna say bye to me? I thought we were closer than that Zara?"  I still refuse to say anything. I hear my cell door open and listen to his footsteps as he gets closer. Smack. "I hope they kill you. You should've died with your shitty Alpha of a father!" He spit out. A silent tear falls from my face as he walks out slamming the door shut and locking it.

It's been a few hours since Lyle has come down meaning it's about time for the guard to come down to check on me. He comes walking up to my cell unlocking it. He walks in towards me grabbing my face roughly. "It looks like your brother left. Guess what that means. Your pretty little ass is mine now." He says with a disgusting smirk. "No please. Don't do this." I beg. Smack. "Shut up bitch." He reaches down and puts his hand roughly between my legs. "If your quiet I'll bring you extra food today." He says. "Fuck you!" I yell out. Smack. He unbuttons my jeans and yanks them down roughly along with my panties. Shoving his hand back down between my legs and rubbing my clit roughly. "Stop please. No. I don't want this. Please. Please. Stop." He removes his hand just long enough to remove his own pants and I see his dick is rock hard against his boxers. I scream out trying to get someone to come save me from this monster. He slaps his hand over my my mouth and gets close my ear to whisper "Be quiet you little bitch. Alpha won't be to happy knowing I can't control you. And I'd rather you dead then me." He positions himself right at my entrance before shoving himself inside causing me to whimper out.

*end of nightmare*

"Zara." I hear. Someone's calling for me. Nobody calls me Zara. It's only Zaraphine here. "Zara wake up. Open your eyes baby, please goddess open your eyes." I know that voice. Who is it. Suddenly I jolt awake lifting myself up from the bed. I smack my head into something as hard as a damn boulder. "Shit. What the fuck is that!" I yell out grabbing my head with my hands to stop the throbbing. "Zara you're awake. Thank the goddess. Are you okay? You were screaming. I thought someone was in here." Atticus breaths out. "Umm. It was just a nightmare. Sorry. You can go now." I say nervously. I look down and remember that I'm only in my underwear and pull the blanket tighter to myself. "Do you wanna talk about it?" He asks. "No. I'm fine. Thanks." I dismiss him.

Atticus' POV

My wolf is pissed at me and I can't really blame him. I just don't like how she spoke to me in front of my pack. She had no right to disrespect me. I saved her for goddess sake. I know she went through a lot but I didn't do anything to her. And then when I went to check on her when I heard her wolf howling out she has the audacity to ask for my brother. 'Yeah cause she's pissed at you' my wolf butts in. 'I wasn't asking you.' I tell him.

I decided to go for a run after Cain took her to her room knowing I needed to cool off. I shift into my wolf and take off running. I begin to feel panicked but I don't think it's me. 'Is everything okay?' I ask my wolf. 'Yeah. It's not us. It's Zara. I think something is wrong.' He tells me in a rush. I quickly turn around and run back to the pack house as fast as I can quickly shifting before making it to the door. I see Cain sitting in the living room and yell out "where is she? What room is she in?" "Next to yours. She's next to yours dude. What's wrong?" He questions but I ignore him running up the stairs as fast I can reaching her door. I try to open it but it's locked. I begin to bang on the door trying to get her to open it but she doesn't respond. "Stop please. No. I don't want this. Please. Please. Stop." I hear her crying out. I break the door down trying to get to who ever is in the room.

Once I enter I begin to look around frantically but don't see anyone and she is laying in the bed fast asleep. 'Is she having a dream?' I ask my wolf. 'Yeah I think so.' He tells me. She begins crying and I rush over to her and gently place my hand on her back trying to shake her awake. "Zara." Nothing. "Zara wake up. Open your eyes baby, please goddess open your eyes." I plead. Out of nowhere she jumps up smacking her head into mine. "Shit. What the fuck is that!" She yells out and grabs her head. 'Thank goddess she's okay.' My wolf tells me.
