Nyx's pov.

This time around, he didn't get me in the forest near the castle. He got me right there in the ball room snatching me away from Lycus's arm as he came. Lycus didn't seem to mind, he just stood there watching me scream in agony as Alpha Titan threw me to the ground. He gave me a blow to the head while at it and blood spilled from where my skin cracked staining my angelic white garment. The crown had fallen from the head and rolled away.

"Please don't! Help!" I screamed at the crowd while trying desperately to crawl away from him but his sinister grey eyes twinkled with mischief as he watched me plead.

No one cared to answer to my pleas or cries for help, not even my mate. It was as if I was present yet in a different world from them, like they couldn't see nor hear me.

"I warned you didn't I?" He growled at me holding the same whip he had used to torture me while I was with him, "You are mine to possess Nyx! I told you I will get you!" He flung the whip towards me. I winced as silver spikes tore through my dress and to my skin, Piercing it drawing blood.

I let out blood curling yells as the whip descended again and tearing through my dress, piercing my skin, making me bleed.

He let out a laugh enjoying me twisting in pain as he ripped my dress off my body, "I will remind you of whom you belong to in front of all these people!"

"No please don't!" He yanked his pants down, drew me closer to him, tore away my underwear and swiftly plunge into me, the pain searing through my insides, my screams drowning his laughs of terror….

I opened my eyes to pitch darkness and they widened in fright, my chest heaved as I tried to catch a breath, my heart raced and I could feel blood rushing in my ears, beads of sweat ran down my forehead and trailed to my chest.

I tried to sharpen my senses, I was on a chair with my hands tied behind me, the rope was tightly knotted and as I struggled against it, the bristles bruised my skin causing me to wince as the moments passed. I was still in my gown and the crown still sat atop my head. I sniffed the air, the room smelt musky and old like an underground basement just like the one I used to reside in before running away from him. I cried out realising where I was but it didn't exactly smell like it, perking my ears up to hear what was around me, I could hear some footsteps outside the room and listening closer, I heard cars, lots of cars honking and moving.

I had the notion that I was definitely no longer in the supernatural world, they must have brought me to the human world. Tears formed in my eyes as I realised that I had been away from my mate for days, if I had known I wouldn't have left the ball room.

That night I had gone up to my room and immediately I entered about five men with masked faces surrounded me, pinned me down silencing my screams, dabbed some strange liquid on me before blowing some stuff that knocked me out cold.

My head throbbed badly, I tried to reach Hera but I couldn't feel her. I peered into the darkness trying to see if I would catch a glimpse of anything but it was futile.

Hera! Hera! I tried calling her again but all I got was whimpers and grunts, what is going on? Just then the door opened and I heard voices.

"Leave us!" Another voice boomed which sent chills down my spine and I whimpered loudly, "Glad to see you still fear me!" The lights were switched on blinding me for a moment and the door slammed shut. I opened my eyes and then I saw his face, shock filled me even while knowing it was definitely him. He had on his sinister smirk and grey eyes that assessed me with hate.

"Nyx…nyx…nyx…" He tsked walking towards me, his hands stuffed in the pockets of his dress pants, his white shirt wasn't tucked in and was slightly unbuttoned, "My sweet little mate who ran off to be the Alpha king's whore!" He barked and in a flash he was before me holding my face squeezing it in a vice grip, "You thought I wouldn't find you uhn?!" He slapped me across the face and the crown fell off which made him chuckle.

Fear creeped in me and tears began to flow, every bad memory I had of him flowed back causing me heartache and I bent my head trying to hide my tears.

"Look at you…" He raised my chin up forcing me to look at him, "All dressed and dolled up, wearing a crown and a dress for a queen which you do not deserve, sipping wine and dancing with the king! You think you are better off now uhn?!"

I kept mute not knowing if it answer his question, "Answer me you whore?!" He growled, "You think you are better than anyone else?"

"Yes!" I managed to glare at him, "I am better than you and anyone else cause I am the Queen now!" I dared him with my words and he looked at me in shock, took some steps back before bursting into a fit of laughter.

"That was a good one." He clapped his hands dramatically while he laughed and then suddenly he reached for a whip out of no where and lashed me across the face hitting the whip between my eyes. I yelled in pain, "I see I have to instill some manners back in you, pathetic slut!" He whipped me again, this time across my neck, curling the whip around it and jerking me towards him, "You dined with the rulers for a few months and have grown wings?!" I choked trying to breathe as he tightened the rope further, "I will break those wings and remind you of your place bitch!" Tears streamed down my eyes as i felt pain all over, "And no one is going to rescue you, not even your charming Alpha." He released the whip flung it to the ground and moved to unbound my wrist.

I stepped up immediately as he did it and tried to run away from him but he heard my movement and had faster reflexes so soon I was in his arms with a hand squeezing my throat, "Don't you even fucking dare!" His hand went from my throat to my bosom making me shiver in disgust.

I wiggled against him and threw back my leg kicking him between him in his groin. He instantly pulled back in a groan, I whirled around and punched him in the guts before gathering my skirts and running towards the door.

He caught up with me again and sent me to the floor with a very powerful kick, "You think I would really let you run away?" He leered at me as I shifted against the ground trying to get away from him, the beautiful dress was now covered in dust and filled with holes, "I am going to teach you a lesson never to run from me again! You belong to me Nyx and I will make sure you always remember that!" That was all it took for him to pounce on me, ripping my dress to pieces till I was left in my undergarments, no matter how hard I tried to fight against him it only fueled him further, "Oh I miss how you struggle, you know how much I love it hmm?"

"Please don't…" I sobbed trying to shield myself away from him, "Don't do this please."

"That night when you ran away…" He picked up a knife trailing it down my thigh digging it in really deep, "I was ready to give you a chance to show you a little bit of love or to try loving you." He wrapped his hand around my throat squeezing it, "I wanted to give a try to this mate thing but you ruined it!" A slap was landed on my face followed with several others, "You ran away making a fool of me in front of the whole pack…"

"I am sorry." I pleaded.

"You will be when I am done with you! When I am done breaking every defense you have built destroying your little courage. I will remind you how worthless you are!" He stood up, "Get up!" He barked and I did as he told me.

"Walk over to the chair and bend over it." I did as he instructed not wanting to aggravate his anger.

He came behind me rubbing my behind, tracing his fingers in my lace panties, "Running away to be the slut for the Alpha and dressing sexy hm?" He ripped it off and I felt the whip which caused me to jump back in pain.

"Did I ask you to leave your position?" He followed me angrily fuming and then he whipped me in all his anger, everywhere, my arms, knees, thighs, behind. I could feel the welts building and blood running down my body from the wounds.

I couldn't even cry anymore, my voice became in audible as I secretly begged for the moon goddess to come rescue me, to help Lycus find me.

"Stupid bitch!" He kicked me aside, "Always getting on my nerves!" He bent down and took my wounded face in his hands slowly caressing my face, "You do not feel so high and mighty now do you?" He snarled at me and only got a broken sob in return.

I thought he'd never find me but he did and now I was back to my former life of torture and the glint in his eyes promised that he was ready to keep me away from Lycus for as long as he could.

"Be a good girl and I will be nice to you tomorrow." He stood up and walked away leaving me to wallow in my own pool of blood.
