Present time
Raine POV
I slowly open my eyes, waking from the unconscious slumber I was in. I would say it was peaceful but it was far from it. I wipe my eyes clear of the dried tears and sweat, trying not to inhale through my nose because of the gut retching smell of urine, faeces and blood.
My attempts to sit up are pointless; my ribs are sore along with the rest of my body. Bruises scattered across my entire being, excluding my left wrist which is in a cast. Yeah, he broke my wrist two days ago and seems like my wolf cannot heal me. She's too weak, I don't blame her. We've had our fair share of torture over the years. I don't remember what a hot shower feels like, I don't remember what it's like to have my clean bedroom with more than just an old stained mattress on the concrete ground. Or how the grass smells in spring. How it feels to run through a forest in my wolf's form, the feel of the grass between my paws.
I don't remember any of that, or even if I've experienced that. I only remember every single day of pain. The way his beta is sent down for me at night just so I can be his "therapy" for the evening. I can't complain too much, he does celebrate my birthday even if it is just him looking at my semi-naked frail body. He will make me a cake, make me blow out the candles and then make the rest of his pack eat it in front of me.
Suddenly while I'm in my memories my door opens and there stands his beta, Tony.
"The boss has told me to teach you a lesson today Raine," Tony says while having this wicked smirk on his face.
"Go to hell" I spit back, although I instantly regretted that.
He slaps me across my face, anger soaring through his body. I can see his wolf trying to come out.
"You never learn, do you, bitch!”
And with that comes another slap across the face. I raise my hand to my cheek and feel the blood dripping out. Ugh, another cut that my poor wolf cannot heal.
"I'm not scared of you anymore. Nothing you do can surprise me anymore, Tony. You'll never be like him, you don't strike fear in me. Hell, you can't even keep your mate from talking down to you!" I spit out with a laugh.
Oh shit, I've done it now. Tony's wolf erupts from him, whatever control Tony had is now gone all because I can't keep my mouth shut.
Tony's wolf is charging at me, I'm pinned in the corner while he's trying to rip me limb from limb but for some reason he can't. It's like he's being held back. That's when he appeared, Micheal. The source of all my pain.
"Beta Tony!" Micheal used his alpha voice to stop Tony from literally tearing me apart.
Tony's wolf halts and slowly turns around with its head held low.
"Shift, NOW"
Tony is now back in human form albeit naked but still no longer a wolf. His head is still held low, he knows he's in deep shit.
"Beta, change and go sit in my office until I come up. We need a chat" Micheal doesn't take his eyes off me while he says this. Tony is now scrabbling out of the room as fast as he can.
"Raine, what have I told you about opening your mouth without permission?" His voice is soft but holds venom
"If I am to speak out of turn I will face the consequences" my voice is so quiet, I don't think he even heard me.
"Yes cupcake that's correct"
Ugh, that nickname makes me want to vomit every time it comes out of his mouth.
"Now, today I have some plans for us. It starts with you coming and taking a shower and getting into some nice clean clothes. I will tell you the rest after you've done those two things. Be a good girl and I'll give you some nice fresh baked cakes" Micheal lets these words roll off his tongue.
Any other woman would be on her knees but not me. This man disgusts me to no end.
I was unaware that I was in my own world until his hand was around my neck.
"I was talking to you Raine, now answer me!" He spat these words out, like a knife laced with poison
"Yes sir, thank you. I will be on my best behaviour",
Yeah, that won't happen.
With that, he let's go of my neck, takes my hand and near enough drags me to his bedroom. I can see through the windows as we pass that it's early morning. Very early. The bedroom door opens and I can see that he has clothes laid out on the bed for me. As soon as I see these clothes I want to run, far away until I collapse on the floor.
The son of a bitch wants me to marry him! This day just became my worst nightmare.
