Her Fate, His Mate

Chapter 25

Annabelle POV

I felt weak and strong at the same time and dirty, very dirty. I wanted nothing but to shower and wash the filth and dried blood off of my skin. I also needed to eat, which is why I was, more than likely, so weak. I finally decided to cave in and yelled, but as weak as I was it came out as a slight raised voice, for Anthony to walk down the stairs.

He walked down and I rested my head back against the wall. I hadn't ate in forty-eight hours, since my only few bites of food the first night. I felt sick afterwards and had to push it away. His brow was raised as he looked down at me, "What is it?"

"Can I please have a small something, anything to eat and maybe water."

He nodded "About time, I was about to force feed you." He turned around and walked back up the stairs.

I tried to open my link back up but I felt it draining my energy. The amount of wokfsbane they used still lingering in my system. I honestly believed if that was given to an average wolf, they would have died.

The door opened and the basement filled with the aroma of fried chicken, fries, and pasta. My stomach growled and Anthony laughed. "You will have company eating with you tonight." I looked at him confused.

"Alpha Grant will be joining you and has requested you to take a shower after your lunch." My stomach turned as he sat the food in front of me and I nodded to him. Two days I have been here and I couldn't link anyone. I sat and ate my food and pushed it around my plate some. I ended up eating all of my fries and all of my pasta. The chicken after having a bite tasted weird and I couldn't eat it. I felt overly full and slightly bloated. I laid my head back and I felt my energy and power slowly return. I smiled inwardly as for the first time I could feel Amethyst. "Welcome back."

She was passed and ready to take heads off of some people's shoulders.

"Relax, we will have to play the part of weak and wait longer. I can feel Ryker getting closer can't you?" She nodded inwardly "So we must wait and try to link with him in the bathroom. They're allowing us to shower."

"Good because we stink and I smell our blood on our skin."

I nodded as the door opened and watched Anthony and three other wolves step downstairs. Two were carrying a mattress and the other looked at me and smirked to theirself. I realized that he was the one who came down here the first day. I frowned as the chains were unlocked and I could feel my wolf want to take them all on and I shoved her bag in the mental cage.

I pretended to be weak as we were walking up the stairs and that was more difficult than anything. I even faked stumbling and I listened as they spoke amongst one another. "That wolfsbane and silver must of done real damage against her. She is so weak. You think she will be okay in the shower?" A lanky tall man spoke to Anthony.

I could feel him watching me as I struggled.

"She will be fine besides if any of us was to touch her Boss would have a s**t fit." Anthony spoke to him.

They led me upstairs into a room where a low cut top dress was laying on the bed along with a hair dryer, brush, shampoo and conditioner.

"You will have this entire bedroom with adjoining bathroom to yourself. There is no air conditioning but there are three fans. One in the bathroom and the others in here. Turn them on if you wish. We will be outside the door so no funny business." Anthony turned and they were out the door.

I looked around the room and it was pretty basic looking with everything taken out. I walked into the shower and I started the water and let the water warm up. I looked at myself in the mirror and man did I look like hell. My hair was matted up into my head and I had dried blood the ran down my neck and to my shoulders and stopped just above my chest. I had blood and dirt smeared across my face and I shook my head.

I walked into the bedroom and thought of an idea, if I could drop blood outside, maybe they'll catch my scent. I turned the fans on and thank Goddess they were loud. I walked over and slowly cracked the window. I let my canines come out and bit my hand. I winced at the pain and held my hand outside the window and squeezed, letting the blood drip outside. I held it long enough to heal. I closed the window and then I went into the bathroom to shower.

I knew once my blood and water mixed my scent would be full force in here. So doing that didn't matter they would have never known the difference. I let the water run over my body as I looked at the floor. Reddish brown was washing off of my body and looked nasty against the white color of the tub. I began washing my hair and it took three conditioning to get it from not being matted. I washed my body four times to get the blood, dirt, and yuck off of me.

I stepped out to dry my body off and I felt completely energized. I head a soft knock on the bedroom door and stepped out of the bathroom and put on the theatrics, pretending to still be weak and opened the door. There stood Grant, his eyes dark and then suddenly softened as I slumped against it. I looked to the floor and let the door frame hold my head up. "The bath tub may need to be cleaned. My dried blood has stained it and the dirt." I spoke softly and he just leaned forward and kissed my head.

"It's okay, you were taking longer than expected and I just wanted to check on you. I see you're weak and I do apologize about that but you're mine. Finish getting ready and I will meet you downstairs." He shut the door and I stood up straight and I felt someone trying to link me. I let my wall down and Ryker came pushing through my wall. "Annabelle! I can smell your blood please tell me you're okay?!"

My wolf jumped excitedly and purred at hearing our Mate. He had to be over an hour away if he caught my scent. "Ryker! It's Grant! He has me locked up there are atkeast now fifteen other wolves here!"

"We are on the way baby, stay safe. See you in less than an hour." He shut the link down and I was pumped. He must be running full force and full speed.

I turned on the blow drier and just waited. Another 15 minutes and I could tear the heads off some fools and we can still have the upper hand.

I felt rage coursing through me and my wolf growled and I tried suppressing it as I felt my entire body tremble. I felt hot suddenly and when I looked at the clock it had been twenty minutes already. It's go time I said to myself in the mirror and stood. It felt like fire was radiating through my veins as I began to shift quietly, so I would have the upper hand when I busted through the doors. I was ready for the last battle and wanted to kill Grant myself.

"Lets do this!" my wolf was ready to shred.
