Falling In Love With The Trio

3. Pain

Aryanna’s POV

Pain was the first thing I felt immediately I opened my eyes. I felt just as bad as I looked. I looked down at my body and I could only see were the black and purple bruises all over my body. I could tell that these were going to scar. There were some open wounds that looked really nasty. They hadn't even helped me clean the wounds up to avoid any infection.

I groaned as I moved to stand up, my head pounding, the pain in my side growing worse. I felt like I was dragging a dead body along with me. My body felt so heavy that I fell to the floor.

'Dont push yourself too hard.' Tanya said to me. Because my wolf was weak, I couldn't heal as fast as I should as a werewolf.

Hearing her voice made me burst into tears.

"Why did my life have to end up like this?" I asked out through the tears.

"I did absolutely nothing wrong. What did I do so wrong to the pack that they can't forgive. Even murder criminals aren't treated this bad." Hot tears rolling down my cheeks as I hit the ground.

'You didn't do anything wrong, Aryanna. I believe that one day, we'll get out of here.' She consoled.

"When will that be? I've been saying that to myself since the start of it all and look at us years later, still here! I've had hope that one day someone would save us from this hell, but take a look around Tanya, we're still here, and it doesn't seem like we're going anywhere anytime soon." I let her know.

I lay flat on the ground as I recalled what had happened the day before.

After the Alpha had looked at me, determined intent in his eyes. I knew I was done for.

"Not only has this slave forgotten that she is paying the price for her father's crimes, she now feels like she is equal to us. She disobeyed the orders of the Alpha's son, attacked and wounded him a great deal, and tried to escape." He announced to the people gesturing to Killian that was lying on the floor, his mother and sister on either of his sides.

"For that reason, she would be given the harshest punishment. She would be made to stand on a large block of ice till it melts and then she would be flogged till she is bruised all over." He decided and my eyes widened. All the people cheered.

I crawled forward towards him and tried to beg.

"Alpha, you know I'm innocent. I never did anything wrong. He attacked me, he….." A hard slap was landed on my face and I kind of lost my sight for a while. I turned around and saw that it was the Luna.

"Be quiet, you disgusting vermin. How could you say that when me can obviously see who is in the wrong? How can you accuse my son of trying to rape you? You really have no shame." She spat. "You slut. I bet you were the one that tried to seduce him." She accused.

"Bring the ice." Alpha Harley ordered.

I was lifted to my feet by two guards and I watched as the ice was brought by two strong warriors and placed on the ground.

"Place her on it." He said and the people cheered.

I was placed on it, and held down my bare feet curling at the cold feeling. I stood up watching the people cheer as tears fell from my eyes. How could people be so heartless? Not even one person stood up or spoke for me.

The cold feeling began to seep through the flesh of my feet and up my feet. I began to dance from one foot to the other. Guards were standing at each side of the ice, their spears pointing at me to stop me from getting down. I walked around the ice, trying to find a way to make myself hot.

Goosebumps started running up my skin. I could hardly feel my feet any longer. I sat down on the ice to reduce the pressure on my feet, but I couldn't stay for long because the material of my night wear was very thin.

I endured it and by the time the ice had melted, I fell because I couldn't feel my legs anymore. Two guards walked towards me and picked me up. They laid me down on a table that was brought out. They tied my hands and legs to it to stop me from moving around too much.

My heart started pounding as I waited for the first hit. The leather belt hit my back with a harsh whooshing sound. I arched my back in pain. The second one came and I groaned in pain. They weren't even counting because they weren't given a specific number by the Alpha, they were just told to flog and he would stop them when he was satisfied.

The belt kept coming down on not just my back, the back of my thighs, my number feet, the back of my head and any other place that they could possibly hit. The thin material of my night wear wasn't even helping at all.

I looked around as the tears dropped down my face to the table. My eyes caught Killian's looking straight at me. When he saw that I was looking at him, he smiled evilly.

"Don't ever mess with me." He mouthed then laughed maniacally.

My heart felt heavy, not from the sadness or pain I was feeling, but from the amount of hatred I was harboring for all these people around me. I looked at each of them one after the other and promised to pay each and every one of them back even if it was with the last drop of my blood.

When they were finally done, I had no tears left to cry. My eyes were so puffed up from how much I had been crying that I could hardly see through them. They released my hands and legs and I had bruises on them from how tight the ropes had been tied and me struggling against them.

I pushed my self off the table, but immediately my feet touched the ground, I fell. The people laughed at me and called me names. They insulted me when I had done nothing wrong to them. After watching me embarrass myself for a while, Alpha Harley ordered the guards to pick me up.

"Don't ever think that you're anything more than a slave. Even if my son had raped you, what does it matter, your a slut anyways. But did you really thing I would punish my son for a low life like you. You're already a slave and he's of the Alpha's family. It just seemed easier to have you take the blame." He muttered close to my ear, so no one else could hear him.

"Take her back to the basement." He ordered

The two guards picked me up again and dragged me inside the house because I couldn't use my legs anymore. They got to the stairs that led down the basement, and threw me down, locking the door behind them.. I rolled down the stairs, hitting every possible surface there was with different parts of my body.

By the time I got to the floor, I was panting and taking fast and deep breaths. I felt a sharp pain in my side. I had probably broken a rib, because any deep breath caused me pain. I tried my best to crawl to the squeaky bed. I was all dirty, but that wasn't really my problem at the moment.

My wounds might have probably gotten infected from all the surfaces that they had touched, but there was nothing I could do about it. The moment my head hit the bed, I was curling up on myself, ignoring the way my muscles screamed, ignoring the pain I felt when I moved, ignoring the voices of the people outside still cheering about something, I just closed my eyes and went straight to bed.

I couldn’t exactly tell what had woken me up, but I blinked as I tried to sit up. Just as I sat up fully, I heard the door handle jiggling. The door opened and in came Killian who was almost already fully healed and his sister, Lisa. They stood by the door, the light from the hallway illuminating their forms.

"Hello, slut." Lisa said.

They walked closer and Killian came towards me and bent down while Lisa stopped halfway.

"Did you really think you could get away after what you did to me? You seemed to have forgotten what and where you are, so I’ll give you a little reminder. Next time you'll know not to refuse me, or even imagine attacking me again." He said in a low voice, so that Lisa wouldn't hear. He placed his finger under my chin.

"I still want you, if you’re still wondering about that and I will have you. I'm just going to give you time to heal and recover, so you won't die on me, so get ready for me. Okay?" He asked a sinister smile on his face.

I pulled my face out of his hands and glared daggers at him. He dug his fingers to my hair and pulled it back with so much force that I could feel some strands pull out.

"You will respond to me when I speak to you. I said do you understand?" He asked again and I spat in his face.

He closed his eyes as he let my hair go and wiped his face.

"The only reason I'm going to let you go is if I touch you, I might actually end up killing you, so thank the Moon goddess." He said before getting up and walking towards Lisa.

I tried my best to stand on my feet, so that I could at least have a little dignity left, but my knees became weak and I fell to the floor again, my body hitting the ground hard. Killian and Lisa laughed at me as they watched me groan in pain, their laughs resounding around the quiet room. They walked out of the room, slamming the door behind them.

I was left to face my pains and my problems alone like always.

And for the millionth time, I prayed to the Goddess to help me leave this pack, somehow, someway.
