Heartless Alpha's Tainted Mate

Chapter 4

Athena Harris POV

Life, it seems easy on the outside, but only a person knows what he or she is going through. No one else can determine or even assume the depth of pain or hurt one is going through. It is easy from the outside to look at, but only the person will know how it is to feel the overwhelming pain and emotions one is going through.

That’s what I learnt from my experience. Whatever I have been through from these past five years is unimaginable. No one can understand it or even imagine how painful it is.

I did not even know that it has been five years since they captured me. I only got to know when Cole and Kane were speaking yesterday. I was numb the whole day. They broke me in so many ways, it is now hard to even think about escaping the bitter reality. And the reality is that I will stay here until I die. I will live here till my death. Five years is not just any passing moment. In those five years, so many things changed and could have changed only if I was not captured.

I don’t even remember anything related to my past life. All that comes with it is my name.

What and where I lived?

I have no idea. They say I am an orphan. But it is hard to digest that bit of information from them. They are my captors. How can I take their word on it?

They are not someone to be believed. They are my tormentors and I shall live cursing them my whole life. It is not easy living this life, being tortured by them day by day. I am abused, tortured and being used for some medical treatments. They have doing some kind of experiments on me.

I see that they get frustrated and angry every time they fail. And their failure leads to me being suffered by their hands. I have taken it all by being numb and closing of my emotions. If I had let their torture taken to my heart, then it would have been next to impossible to live in this hell hole.

I come out of my thoughts and from my past, when the door opens and in walks Cole.

“I see that you are awake” he smirks my way as he comes and takes a seat beside my bed. a chair is forever placed near my bed so that whenever they seem to visit me, they sit on that particular chair and give me the misery of my life.

“you have turned twenty today. We bought you here for a reason” he states.

I only stare at him with my lifeless eyes.

“Don’t you want to know?” he asks.

“will there be any difference if I give you an answer to that question?” I asked him.

“smart choice” he states but there was an angry in his eyes. He does not like it most of the times when I answer his question with one of my own. Sometimes he ignores it. And sometimes he hits me or slaps me as a way of punishment. I am used to it by now.

“today we are going to experiment a different vile on you. I hope you are ready” he smirks my way.

I don’t know why he bothers to inform me every time. But he does. I don’t know whether I should be grateful or be scared of what sort of thing they are going to perform next on me. Either way, I am loss at both the situations. It does not help me any way. Most of the times, he enjoys and he feeds in on my anxiety and fear. I don’t let that happen as much as I can.

I am human being. I can only take so much. For him, all that matters is him to pass in whatever experiment he is performing on me and next is his enjoys watching me suffer.

I don’t react as they pick my body and take me into another room. They lay me on a stretcher. The room was quipped with many chemicals and every kind of medical equipment’s. there were tweezers, blades, knifes, and many other things which I did not even have any idea about.

They have tortured me endless. And by the smirk on their face, I know what I am going to face next is not going to be easy in any way.

“we are going to enjoy this” grins Kane. I remained silent.

“no reaction” says Cole.

“well, after this I am sure to get a reaction from you” he does not even give me a chance as he cuts the skin on my thigh and pours some liquid on it.

“your thigh, is the skin which will burn and it becomes acid. The acid which will help to make those poisonous chemicals which will wash out the supernatural worlds. Their realm will be in our hand’s” states Cole with a cruel laugh.

The cut did nothing at start. But after five minutes, I started feeling a burning sensation within me. Soon a scream erupts from my mouth at the immense pain and fire I felt in my thigh.

They continuously laughed as I cried and screamed.

“ple… please” I cry.

I try to rub my thigh, but Kane restrains me.

“lea... Leave me” I begged him but he only gave me a cruel look and shook his head.

“no reaction yeah. This will teach you a lesson”

Immediately he pours something on the cut.

“ah” I scream as my body convulsed and I started shivering and burning all at the same time.

They walked out living me screaming and crying in pain. It felt as if my body is ripped in two.

“ple... Please help me” I begged them in my hoarse voice. My throat was sore due to all the crying. I was feeling dizzy. My body is feeling numb all over as it was too much to take.

I  don’t know how long I kept crying and eventually gave into the sleep that my body needs.
