Chapter 3
Addison
I have been tied up and they obviously don't give a damn about me or what I think. I don't think that they even care that I am female. I think they have something against me, and they might try to kill me. I'm afraid though. I'm afraid of what is going to come to me if I don't end up doing as they say. Would they kill me? Would they torture me? Would they end up doing much worse that would make me wish that I was dead?
I couldn't be sure, but I didn't give them the satisfaction of showing them that I was afraid. It was a bad idea because of everything that I have been through, and I know what Rogues are capable of. I know what they can do to me, and I know that they might end up killing me if I make one wrong move.
I jerk my chin up into the air and I look at him defiantly, feeling my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn't be sure of what was going to happen but what I did know was that I couldn't allow this to go down the road that I thought it would. It seems like they are waiting for someone to decide what to do with me. They might just tear me to shreds and do something to me about it, but I couldn't be completely certain about that though.
"What are you going to do about me?" I suddenly speak up, seeing how they turn to glare at me.
I know that they probably want to murder me for even daring to speak up, but I can't do this for long. I just kneel there, my head lowered as my heart is pounding in my chest. I hate what I have become, and I hate what I have been having to deal with. Everything that I have been through hasn't been easy at all, and it seems like I might end up getting screwed.
"Alpha, she is here." I hear someone finally speak up.
I look up and that's when I see that I am gazing into the eyes of a monster. His eyes are an icy blue and cold, like he has no emotion, and he has a golden hue to his hair that kind of reminds me of sunlight. He's tall and muscular, very broad in that aspect, and he's covered in scars. He has had his number of fights before, and I know he is dangerous. I know who he has to be.
The Rogue Alpha.
The one that my family has warned me about before.
My heart is pounding even more so in my chest as he walks closer, feeling like I might be going crazy. I couldn't be sure what he was going to do right now, but it's becoming clearer what is going to happen between us. He grips my chin, his eyes scanning me up and down as he examines me. I was shocked though at the electricity from his touch, and I noticed almost immediately that he was surprised as well. I'm not sure if he was thinking the same thing but I did want to ask him if he knew that I was his fated mate…
I am fated for someone like him.
"Princess Addison." He murmurs coldly, tilting his head to the side, "What are you doing here? Why are you here? I wouldn't expect you to ever be in Rogue territory."
"I ran away." I admit to him, feeling like I could trust him or something, "I couldn't stand what was going on and I knew I had to run, or they would force it upon me. I'm sure you understand."
I could be testing his patience, but he wouldn't try to kill me, not when he knows that he is my fated mate. Mates can't kill one another even though he could try to, but I keep wondering what might end up happening between us if I allow him to have me. I know the stories of fated mates, but I never expected to find mine. Is he going to accept me? I think he is debating on it as well.
"I don't get why you are here, but you are my prisoner now until I decide what to do with you." He murmurs coldly, letting go of my chin like he had just been stung, "I hope you know that I have no reason to accept you as my mate. It would be foolish of me to accept you like that. It would be foolish of me to ever want you as a mate either."
That's like a punch to the gut and I see the realization in the eyes of those around us. I don't know what to say or do, but I want to cry. It feels like a rejection even though he doesn't do it properly. I'm sure everyone is confused as to why he is treating his fated mate this way because it's just like throwing away what the Moon Goddess wanted from us. I wish that I could say something more from that, I wish that I could have done more, but it has become more obvious to me that my being his fated mate isn't going to save me.
"I don't care who you are." He murmurs coldly, shaking his head back and forth, "The only thing that matters is that you know your place and you know when to stop. I'm not going to show you mercy if you don't cooperate. Just because I can't kill you, it doesn't mean that someone else won't."
"I wouldn't expect nothing less from a Rogue." I decide to murmur coldly, not letting him get to me.
I don't really want to treat him like that but he's not giving me much of a choice. He looked very pleased with me for a split second, like he expected me to say something like that, and all I could do from here was hope that he's going to not kill me.
He runs his fingers through his hair, "I guess the best thing for me to do right now is to lock you away. Maybe if you give me truthful answers, I might let you go."
"I really did run away." I assure him, wondering if he will believe me, "My parents were trying to marry me off to this brute who killed someone special to me. I couldn't do it. I can't just marry someone like that. I understand your hatred for them but please don't take it out on me."
He glances at me over his shoulder, his eyes narrowing slightly, "I see… I don't know what to do about this, but I think you will be a good bartering tool. If you ran away… They will do everything to get you back."
My jaw drops and I want to ask him if he is crazy but he's already walking away from me without mercy. I don't know if he just doesn't want me, but I'm dragged up by his men and they are leading me off to their headquarters.
I really might end up being screwed.
