Chapter 2
"Huh!" as a mate?
What did I just hear?
I looked closely at the man in front of me as he nodded slightly and smiled.
"Finally,we are free!" Nia exclaimed,as she giggled.
"Are you sure about what you are saying Ethan?"
Droker asked as he creased his brows,his eyes darting between the both of us.
"I meant what I said," Ethan replied, still staring at me.
I couldn't help it but smile.
I haven't smiled in the past fifteen years but right here,this very moment,I smiled.
"All right then,if you say so,you can have her," Droker said,his voice firm but cold.
"You are free Maya," he added,stroking my back as his hands touched my butt.
"Take care of my angel Ethan," Droker added,an evil smirk on his face.
I knew that face,he makes that face anytime he has an evil intention.
My heart screamed suspicion but I cared less.
Anything that could take me out from his grip was fine by me,even if it were a beast.
After a while of pleasantries,we were on our way.
*
The ride to Ethan's park was slow and quiet.
His horses were slow and tired,as though they were barely fed.
My throat was dry and my stomach growled,I was desperately in need of food and water.
But how was I going to ask Ethan without sounding awkward.
After a while of enduring,I was fed up
I made up my mind to ask him,besides he just saved me.
What would possibly stop him from giving his mate a little food?
"Uhmm,can I get a piece of bread and water please?"
I asked,my voice was loud but gentle.
He was quiet,he didn't reply or even glance at me.
But I was sure he heard me or was my voice too low.
I summoned up courage to ask again,maybe he didn't get me the last time.
"Uhmm,please could I….."
"Shut up b***h!!" He barked,his voice loud and angry.
"You think I care about you? I don't care if you live or die bitch."
His expression was hardened,his eyes blazing red as the veins on his neck popped.
My words stuck in my throat,I was dumbfounded for a while.
What is going on? I asked myself over and over again.
Then it dawned on me,Ethan wasn't in love with me.
He probably just wanted a slave for himself,a slave that would willingly follow him in the guise of a mate.
I could hear Nia whimpering within me
She probably thought we finally had a mate and would be happy forever.
But here we were,hated and despised by our very mate.
I couldn't hold it back in,the tears that had gathered in my eyes.
I let them all out as they streamed down my face.
This was the second time I cried in over 15 years.
Maybe I was not destined to have a mate?
Why does the moon goddess hate me this much?
I asked myself all these questions as I wallowed in my thoughts.
"I hate you mum!" I muttered.
If she hadn't left me fifteen years back to save a stranger,maybe,just maybe my life would have turned out different.
Everything I'm going through right now is because of that boy she saved.
I hated him,I don't know him yet but I had an intense hatred for him.
"We are here,Get down!" Ethan barked,jolting me out of my thoughts.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't take notice of the building in front of me.
It was a small cozy space on the outskirts of Moonrove,the next stop after Droker's hideout.
The house was isolated,only a few other houses could be seen around it.
"Get in!" He snapped,his voice was low but cold.
He hasn't spared me a glance since we left Droker's place.
As I entered the building in front of me,it was cozy and cold with only a single mattress by the side.
"Here" Ethan said,handing me a worn out gown.
"There's a bathroom outside,use it and freshen up,you stink."
He said while covering his nose.
His words stung me,he had an amazing effect on me.
Tears welled up in my eyes,threatening to fall but I held them back.
No! Not anymore.
I won't cry over a man again,I have cried twice already.
But why did he save me if he detests me this much?
Why was he all warm and smiley in front of Droker?
I had questions that needed answers but I shoved them aside anyway as I had my bath.
************************************************
It has been a year plus of staying with Ethan as his mate,or should I say slave.
Ethan was almost as worse as Droker,his only difference was that at least,I got bread crumbs to eat and water to bathe.
My body was in pain as I had cuts and bruises I got from his constant beating.
He molests and humiliates me in more ways than I could ever imagine.
"Why did you save me then?" I once asked him,after he forced himself on me.
"Save?" he smirked.
"I didn't save you b***h,I only took you as a mate because of your beauty,you lowly bitch."
I felt my already broken heart shatter into several unmendable pieces,now I knew why he hated me.
He was only after my body,nothing else.
tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered that experience.
Suddenly,my nemesis entered,Ethan.
He was drunk and staggering,a usual occurrence for him.
I knew what awaited me that night and I was prepared for it.
"Come here." he barked,his red eyes glaring daggers at me.
I stood up,walking slowly towards him,it was about to happen again.
"Get on your knees," he said,his voice cold and mean.
I slowly got on my knees as he brought down his trouser,revealing his huge member.
"Get to work b***h,suck on it."
With my hands trembling as I sobbed,I pulled it out and put it in my mouth as he groaned.
He pulled my hair and pushed it deeper,making me gasp for air.
I was choking as he forced me deeper.
I tried to pull out of his grip but I couldn't,he was stronger than me.
My eyes were red and I was at the verge of blacking out,I had to do something fast.
I placed my hand on the ground,searching for anything I could lay my hands on.
I finally got in contact with a metal.
With a sharp reflex,I hit him on his ankle,making him scream as he released my head.
"How dare you!" he barked,his eyes blazing as he clenched his jaw.
But I had the advantage,I was fed up of his torture and he was drunk.
With anger in my veins and a hatred I had gathered towards him over the years,I charged towards him with full force.
Hitting,biting and kicking him wherever I could.
As I kicked him,I released the tears from my eyes,all the pains I had endured over the years.
I poured them all out on him.
He was half dead when I was done but I knew it would last for only a while.
He was a wolf anyway,so he would recover fast.
"We have to get out of here." Nia,my wolf,whispered.
I knew I had to run but where would I go?
The nearest place I could run to now was an inn by the road and it was normally dangerous for a lady at night.
But I had no choice,I needed to leave
It was the only way I could avoid Ethan's wrath when he recovers.
With that in mind,I set out to leave,picking only a few clothes and some money I found in his pocket.
My plan was to sleep in the inn tonight and find my way the next day.
**********
As I entered the inn,I couldn't help but notice the disapproving stares I got from the people there.
It was as though I was not cut out to be here,but I ignored their stares as I approached the inn's owner.
"What can I offer you?" He asked,his voice was cold.
"Anything please,anything that can get me drunk." I replied.
"Are you sure?" He asked,as he creased his brows,staring into my eyes.
I nodded faintly,avoiding his gaze.
I didn't know what it tasted like,this was my first time.
My heart was screaming No! but I had to do it.
I needed something to take my pain away or at least make me forget my pains.
"Here," the innkeeper said,handing me a big mug filled to the brim with alcohol.
"Thank you." I muttered as I took a sip,its strong taste struck my mouth but it had a bittersweet taste.
With a flash,I gulped down everything as I belched loudly amidst the stares from the crowd.
Not up to an hour later,I began feeling strange,my eyes were drowsy and I was jittery.
I couldn't stand or see well,I tried to open my eyes properly but I couldn't help it.
I felt a hand on my body,a firm hand grabbed by breasts as he squeezed it.
I wanted to scream but I couldn't as I was being led up.
What's going on?
I was unable to help myself until I blacked out.
