CHAPTER 3

Soren POV 

“Hmm fuck.”

I could hear soft moans as I made my way towards Kayden’s room. I know what awaits me inside, and though it has been five days since I last came here to watch him making out with women, I wasn't prepared for what would happen tonight.

The maid pulled the door open and pushed me inside before locking the door. There are different sex toys on the floor. That was mostly what he used for his breeders and other females.

Cigarette smoke filled the room but I managed to see Kayden. He was sitting on the armchair with his legs and hands spread out while Isabella was on his knees sucking him.

I felt my wolf wriggle in pain when she saw the scene and the mark on my neck burned, an agonising scream left my lungs as I fell on my knees.

How can Kayden have his cock deep into another woman's mouth even though he knew what pain he would cause me? All of this wouldn't have been my concern if he didn't force his mark on me but the bastard did and this is my sacrifice.

“You are here” He said in a deep, gruff voice. He puffed the smoke again and released it.

The wet sounds Isabella's throat makes almost make me vomit out everything in my stomach but I forced it back.

However, the bastard noticed and beckoned me to come closer but I refused. I know I was digging my grave but I will never let Kayden touch me again.

“Did you just disobey my order?” He yelled, a guttural growl ripped from his throat and my body jolted forward in shock.

I heard the sharp sound of his steps as he walked towards me, closing the distance between us. A belt landed on my back, cutting through my skin and I cried out, tears pouring down my face.

“You will obey me. You are not an Alpha so stop acting like one!” He yelled and another hit landed on the side of my breast.

I could smell blood but Kayden doesn't get tired until he sees me bleeding in my own pool of blood but it never happens because I fucking heal.

“Just look at that” He said coldly, as he tore my dress, revealing the place where he had hit me which was looking absolutely fine.

And that is the power Kayden has over me. No matter how many marks he gave me, he knew I would heal. It's actually a curse to me in this marriage, this healing power.

“She is quite a fascinating being,” Isabella said and I felt my wolf, Zara, ready to tear her apart.

“This is why your father will never believe you no matter what you tell him. Just be submissive to me and you can't do that?” he said and gave me a blow to my jaw. The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.

“You can't fuck me with the same dick you use to fuck her!” I yelled, trying to provoke him more, and it was working.

Kayden held his head with his palm and walked towards where the sex toys he used were. I thought he was going to bring a chain but he surprised me when he brought a cigarette which was just lit.

“Hold her down!” He yelled and Isabella held me from behind.

“I will fucking kill you,” Kayden said and pressed the burn of the cigarette on my cheek.

“No!” I scream and the torture continues until I can no longer take the pain.

“Leave the room, Isabella.” 

“But Alpha.” Isabella protests but one look from Kayden and she quickly picks up her dress.

“I said leave!”

“Now let's see if you are not going to succumb to my wish,” Kayden said and dragged me up my hair towards the bed. He prys my legs open and suck on my neck.

My skin crawls and I manage to push him away. 

“I am…am not going to give in to you” I said, choking on my words.

**********

It's already been over 24 hours since Kayden was rushed to the hospital. Last night, when he tried to force his way with me, I pushed him and his head hit the vase and he stopped breathing.

I know I should have run and called the Physician but the fear that he might stand up and eventually kill me instead made me run out of the room in fear. 

“He is not going to die because of that but I was wrong.” This is what I kept telling myself.

He was found by Isabella and I rushed to the scene as if I knew nothing. Kayden isn't waking up and part of me is happy while another part is scared.

The door swung open and the police came in with Isabella.

“The bitch killed him. I was with Kayden last night before he told me to leave. He was with her. You need to believe me.” Isabella said but one of the Police cautioned her.

“Our investigation doesn't find anything like that, Ms Isabella .” The police said to her and turned to face me. 

“There were traces of wolfbane in his drink and no one knew where it came from since a party was thrown last night and the Alpha drink.”

“And he is not dead yet. He will be in a coma for now and there are chances that he might still wake up.” The cop concluded and I tried to squeeze some tears out of my eyes.

My husband is in a coma and it's okay as his Luna for me to feel distressed.

“What about the injury he had at the back of his head? Someone did that.” Isabella chirped in and my body stiffened with sudden coldness.

“We are still investigating but we need to ask you, Luna Soren, if you know anyone who might have grudges against the Alpha.” the cop asked me.

I looked at Isabella who parted her lips to speak but then she closed her mouth back. 

How would she inform the cops that the Alpha beats his Luna every night and the only prime suspect of this case is me?

“There is no one that I know about,” I responded and used the hanky to blow my nose.

“Okay thank you for your help.” The cops said and left the room.

Isabella walked towards me while I kept crying. “I will expose the truth Soren just wait” she said and left the room.

I could finally breathe without difficulty. I crawled up the bed and wrapped my hands around me. I wanted to pretend that I knew nothing about this. I didn't plan this but it seems the moon goddess finally took pity on me.

My phone rang and it startled me. I checked the caller ID and it was Father. I quickly picked up the call and pressed the phone to my ear.

“Father.” I began but he cut me off 

“I heard about what happened to Kayden.” He said and I can't believe I am actually hearing his voice now.

News travels fast and I didn't expect Father to call me this quickly. The last time he picked up my call was a year ago. He never called me either.

“Father, I told you he has been…”

“You will be coming home today Soren. My lawyer will file the divorce and you will come home.” Father said and the news came as a surprise.

“Father. I still…”

He didn't allow me to speak. “Don't worry, I already have everything prepared for you and you will start your life afresh” Father said and different thoughts ran through my mind.

Did he already believe me?

“Okay. I will get myself ready.” I replied.

“Vladimir will be coming to pick you up. He should be on his way by now.” Father said and ended the call but the phone was still glued to my ear.

Vladimir!

Even after all these years, the name still came back to haunt me.

And he is coming to take me?

Nothing is worse than this.

Coming face to face with the man who couldn't protect you when you needed him the most and yet, everyone calls him your protector.

Maybe I should have swallowed the wolfbane instead because I am not prepared for this.
