Heartless Alpha's Tainted Mate

Chapter 3

Athena Harris POV

I opened my eyes and looked around with a confused expression. The room looks a bit old and dirty. I frowned as I try to recall, where am I?

I get up only to realize that I am tied to the bed post. Panicking, I frantically look around. Nothing seems to be familiar to me. I was breathing hard. I am worried. My head was aching due to the moment, I feel weak in my body. I wait for someone to come. But after waiting for, I don’t know how long, no one comes.

I am hungry and terrified. Someone kidnapped me and I don’t have any idea who?

I try to pull at my strings continuously. But the rope was cutting through my skin and it was paining me immensely.

“Hello, someone there?” I shout out loud staring at the closed door.

There was no voice or anything. I keep trying only to be met with silence. Times passed by; I was feeling my vision getting blurry. I tried to keep my eyes open but all to no avail. Eventually I gave into my body instincts and let the unconscious consume me.

Slowly I blink my eyes open when I hear a disturbing noise. I groan as the voice disturbs my sleep. Clearing my vision, I look around and my eyes widened when I find a an in his mid-forties staring at me.

I lean back and that’s when I realize that I cannot move back much as I am tied to the bed post.

“Move back” I glare at him.

He only smirks and leans closer to me. I was panicked and terrified but I know I need to be calm and think a way of escaping this situation.

“You cannot escape even if you want to Athena” he says. His voice deep and filled with something I did not understand.

Giving him a confused look, I think in my head ‘was that my name?’

My eyes widened in shock when he replies to my thoughts which are in my mind

“Yes, that is your name” he smirks once again. There was a satisfying glint in his eyes.

“Ho... how did you hear my thoughts?” I asked him with a scared look.

He lets out a chuckle and shakes his head at me “too naïve” he says.

“I am not naïve” I snap at him.

“feisty, I like that. We are going to enjoy your feistiness” he whispers grazing his finger tips along my cheek.

Moving back, I snap at him “Where am i?”

“and who are you?” I shout at him.

“there is no need to get angry Athena. You don’t need to know who I am” he states with a glare my way.

“It is matter for me” I state angrily.

I did not see it coming as he back handles me. A scream escaped my lips at his violent behavior. I am very scared. A tear slips by my eyes. My cheek is burning sue to his slap.

“Next time you would know better then to disrespect me” I state with narrowed eyes.

“please leave me. I don’t know you. I haven’t done anything to you” I plead to him.

But it went to deaf ears as he lets out a humorless chuckle.

“You don’t know what you have taken from me” he shakes his head at me, giving me a sad look.

I was hoping that at least he will tell me why he is doing like that but he only talks in circle.

“You are going to live your life here, captured for eternity” his voice changes and darkness surrounds around him. My spine stiffened and that did not go unnoticed by him.

“good. You should be cared of me” he nods in satisfaction. He seems to enjoy my fear.

“Yes, I enjoy to watch the fear in my captors” he emphasized on the word captors.

“My family will come and they will hurt you” I say to him confidently as hope rises within me.

He lets out a loud laugh at that. I give him a confused look.

“Oh Athena.” He leans closer to me and whispers “you are an orphan. No one will come for you”

I was shocked. I am alone and there is no one. I tried to read if whether he is lying but I did not find any lie there.

That’s when the hard reality settles in.

I let the tears fall as the person laughs at my helpless look and situation. A sob escaped my lips as he leans in closer and sniffs my hair.

“You are mine to do as I please” he growls as I did not look him in the eyes.

Immediately he tugs at my hair roughly and makes me look at him.

“next time, better look at me while I am speaking too you” he grazes his teeth on my lips and bites it roughly.

 I try to shake away but was no help as I am tied to a bed. he kisses me hard and bites them, my tears and screams to leave me can be heard in the room but no one can hear me. If they did, they would have come to help me.

After while he moves back and licks his lips “You taste as I expected” he rubs my lips as I am still crying.

“no one will come for you Athena. We are in the forest, miles away from the people” he informs me with a smirk. With that all my hope shattered into pieces.

“From here on, you are mine to do anything I please” he says and touches me inappropriately.

With that he gets up “Be ready in the evening” he says and walks out of the room.

I breath a sigh of relief once he left me alone. I look around and sob. He did not even release me. I was crying continuously as this was my sad reality from now on.

I don’t know how long I cried. I tried to loosen my ropes but that was not happening, my skin was cutting and bleeding due to my constant tugging at it.

I growl angrily and slump on the bed. it is of no use. I look around and find that there were no windows in this room except for the door and the small glass frame near the ceiling. From there I assumed it is day as there was some light coming through it.

Soon sleep evades my mind and I let it take over.

I don’t know how long I slept. I only woke up when I felt heavy pressure on my body. Panicked, I opened my eyes only to find a person with barely any clothes lying above me. That’s when I felt the coolness of his body. I looked down and find myself with any clothes on. A scream escaped my lips. I was only wearing my undies on.

 He immediately presses a hand on my mouth and starts touching me inappropriately. I was screaming, sobbing and crying all at the same time. Even after so much of me begging him to release me, he did not. Instead he took me roughly, it was painful. He looked drunk and intoxicated as he took pleasure from my body. When he still did not move from my person, angrily I bit him hard on his lips when he tried to kiss me.

he cries in pain and moves back. i was happy to hurt him back the same way he did to me. But the satisfaction was short lived as he back handled me and tugged at my hairs. He was rough as he continuously hits me and tortures me. Not being able to stake it, I plead him to stop but he does not listen.

“you will know what happens when you mess with me” he growls angrily.

“Cole, come in” he shouts. Immediately a door open and in walks a man.

He gives me a look and licks his lips.

“teach her a lesson” with that said he wears his clothes and walk out of the room.

The man with Cole name comes to me. He was staring at me with dark eyes and licking his lips.

“Please, leave me” I plead at him crying.

“shut up” he slaps me.

I sob as he too does the same what that person did. The torture was never ending as they what they could, never once having mercy on me. My screams of pain were unheard as they enjoyed their need. My sobs went to deaf ears as they back handled me.

“Next time, the punishment will be more severe if you don’t keep quiet” with that said he walks out living me in cold. I was shivering and in pain. My body was not able to move and there was burning sensation withing my stomach. I don’t know what was happening to me.

Why did they kidnap me?

Where did I come from?

How did they capture me?

Why don’t have any recall of my past?

There were so many unanswered questions, but no answers whatsoever.

I am locked up and there is no hope for the future. I don’t know when I will be rescued?

Will I leave my life forever in these four walls?

Tears slip my eyes as I scream at them

“leave me” I tug at the ropes even though my hands were bleeding continuously.

“let me go” I shout.

“you, sick people” I shout hoarsely. Still there was no response.

“leave me. Why did you capture me?” I scream.

“please, someone help me” I shout crying. Hoping that if anyone by chance was passing by, hears me. All hope was vanished when they don’t reply.

I scream for, I don’t know how long. Finally, a different man walks in, with a belt in his hand.

“Shut up, you b***h” he growls angrily as he glares at me.

“was earlier not enough” he shouts with narrowed eyes at me. I try to plead at him but I was in delusion to think if they would help me. I was wrong. They are merciless tyrants who are torturing me.

My eyes widened when he raises his hand. The first hit left a painful scream from my mouth. Continuously he starts hitting me, ignoring my screams and cries. My whole body was burning due to the assault. They were not stopping.

“please” I plead in a whisper as I felt my body going limp. My eyes were getting heavier. My vision is getting blurry. Nothing is clear. I blink repeatedly but could not keep them open.

My last thought before losing consciousness was ‘will there be ever hope for me to be rescued?”

With that I let into my body’s demand and go unconscious.
