~ Damien’s Pov"Yes, Alpha. Anything else?""No, you can leave."Luke bowed and turned on his heel. I watched him go with a cruel smirk on my face as I thought about the instructions I had just given him regarding Isabella.I couldn't believe I hadn't thought about my brilliant idea beforehand. The only thing Isabella had left in her miserable life at that moment was her pride. And physical torture wasn't going to do the trick.Something that'll tear her down mentally rather than physically would have done the trick a long time ago. I mused.I smiled darkly as I thought about the confusion that had been plastered on her face when I told her that I had given her some time to think about my proposal.She's probably getting excited, thinking I might now leave her alone. At that moment, I wished I could have seen the expression on her face when Luke delivered my instructions to her.My wolf stirred and I turned to the window on my left to see that my eyes had darkened as I thought about

~Nathan’s POV Laura’s words left me dumbfounded. I hadn't expected her to be so forward about her feelings. Although I was taken aback, I liked that she was confident and went for what she wanted, unlike Isabella who was too timid and soft-spoken. I took a sip of my water and I could feel Laura’s hand reaching out to mine. I allowed her to hold my hand and, trying to figure out if she could truly give up everything for me, I placed down the cup of water and looked at her with what I hoped was a loving expression on her face. “And what if you found your mate?” I asked her.“My mate?” She asked.“Yes. Your mate.” “Then I will reject him. I want to be with you, Alpha Damien.” She said, smiling.I smiled at her ignoring the sharp pain I felt in my chest. It was the mate bond. I will never allow that lowly omega to tie me down. I thought to myself.“If that’s the case Laura, we still need to take things easy. I will claim you as my mate very soon. But before that, I need to attend to

~ Isabella’s POV“I’m so sorry if I did anything wrong, Alpha Damien. Please don't do this.” I cried out as I scooted backwards on the bed and I pleaded with him.He paid no attention to me or my yelling, just continued to take off his clothes whilst staring at me with that dangerous gleam in his eye.“I’m so sorry about the way I talked to you. I know it was rude of me when I came to the garden earlier. I shouldn't have gone into the garden. I'll… I'll never do that again.” I added, a hitch in my voice.I thought my pleas would have made him back off, but he continued to ignore me while taking off his clothes.He eventually finished taking off his clothes and my heart climbed up into my throat as he got into the massive bed.I let out a scream and tried to jump off the bed, regardless of knowing that I wouldn't be able to go far. He grabbed a foot and dragged me back down. He pinned me down on the bed beneath him, smiling dangerously.“Now that you've seen me nude, I think it’s only

~ Isabella’s POVI heard someone muttering and it felt like they were speaking directly into my ears. My ears were ringing and my mouth felt like it had been stuffed with cotton wool. Where am I? Am I dead? Am I still alive?Groaning softly, I opened my eyes to see if I was still alive. I looked up at the ceiling and instantly recognised where I was. I was in Alpha Damien’s room and I had been laid down on his big bed. He was nowhere to be found. I glanced to my right to see the old doctor who had drugged me earlier approaching me with a syringe, I immediately sat up and held out a hand to hold him off while still yelling at him.“Don't you dare come near me, especially with that syringe. I trusted you but you betrayed me. What were you trying to do again? Inject me with another substance, maybe one that'll do more than just knock me out?" I asked as I frantically looked around to see if the young boy who had been with him the first time I met him was also present.The young boy was

Damien’s POVI angrily got off my bed and dashed off to the torturing room where Isabella was, as stated by Luke. Luke also ran after me. My vision had become coated with a dangerous red haze as I anticipated tearing off the heads of those who might have laid their hands on her. I was the only one with the right to torture her, she was mine to torture, mine to fuck, mine to do whatever I wanted, she was mine and mine alone.And yet, someone dares to touch her? She belongs to me!A growl escaped my lips and I walked even faster and reached the dungeons.The guard who had been dozing off with his legs up on the table immediately shot to his feet, wincing as the chair he had been seated on crashed to the floor as I barged in.I barely spared him a glance as I told Luke, "Get rid of him."His cries of pleas rang in my ears as I stalked down the hallway until I got to the last cell. I pushed the door open and then I saw the petite figure chained on a chair. She must have been flogged and t
