Chapter 4 Chapter 004: A Twist of Fate

CALISTRA'S POV

I looked up and saw Rafael, breathing heavily. What was he doing here?

"Let her go." He commanded.

The guards exchanged confused glances.

"But Rafael—" One began, but Rafael's sharp glare shut him up instantly.

"Yes, sir." The guard said, bowing. They released me right away.

Rafael grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the torture room. As we walked away, I noticed the shock on the guards faces.

"Where are you taking me now?

Can't you just let me go?

You're hurting me." I said, trying to pull free. But the more I struggled, the tighter his grip became.

"You wanted our bond to stay secret." I said.

"Don't you think this looks suspicious?"

Rafael stopped and turned to me, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Say one more word, and I'll punish you myself. I don't care if I suffer ten times more than you. I'll do it.''

I stayed silent after that. We kept walking, ignoring the curious stares from the pack members. Rafael didn't seem to care.

Rafael led me to his room in silence. Once inside, he didn't say a word, just paced back and forth while I stood there, confused.

"You asked that I get punished. You also came to save me-"

"Save you?" Rafael snapped, spinning around to face me. He stepped closer until we were inches apart from each other.

"I didn't save you.'' He growled.

''If I had my way, I would ask that you be executed and your body fed to the dogs, but I don't know what's going to happen to me then!" His voice cracked with frustration.

"What have you done to me?" He asked.

"Why do you get hurt and I'm the one who has to suffer for it?

What the hell have you done to me?!'' He barked.

"I told you.'' I said softly.

''I haven't done anything, maybe all this is just part of the moon goddess's plan for us."

Rafael scoffed bitterly.

"We'll see about that. You know what I love to do when I'm this frustrated and angry?" He asked, taking another step closer.

Maybe it's the way he said it, or the look in his eyes, like a predator going after its prey. It made me uneasy. I instinctively stepped back.

"I haven't done anything to you.'' I said.  

''So you can't blame me for what's happening.''

"No, Zara. You have everything to do with what's happening right now.

Things started going wrong the moment you became my mate.

Since I can't punish you in the way I would have loved to, I've got a better idea, one you can't escape."

He smirked, a mischievous devilish smirk that sent shivers down my spine and made my body crawl.

"You're insane, I'm leaving."

I turned to leave, but Rafael immediately grabbed me and pulled me to himself, caging me in his arms.

"Not so fast, Zara.

You haven't fulfilled your purpose yet.

Since I can't get someone else to satisfy my urge, you as my mate will have to fulfil your duty right now."

"Stop it!

You have no right to do this to me.

You have no idea who I am, so let me go right now!"

I ordered, trying so hard to free myself from his hold. But my body was too weak and I felt so powerless against him.

"And who do you think you are, Zara?"

Rafael asked.

"Do I need remind you that you're just a lowly pack slave? A worthless omega, and a punching bag for anyone who wants to release all their pent up frustration and anger.

You're nothing, and you should be worthy that I'm even willing to touch you."

He said through gritted teeth.

"You've brought this upon yourself, and I promise you... Not even the moon goddess herself can save you from me."

Rafael roughly dragged me to the bed and threw me on it. I tried getting up, but he was on top of me and pinned both my hands above my head.

"Let me go, I don't want to do this!" I cried out, turning my head sideways as I tried to avoid him kissing me.

If only I had my powers, I would have thought this monster of a man a lesson he would never forget in a hurry.

This can't end like this. I can't lose myself to this man like this.

"Stay still, bitch!" Rafael spat.

He tightly grabbed both sides of my cheeks, forcing me to stop moving as his lips came crashing down on mine.

I should feel excited about this, being touched by my mate, but rather I felt disgusted, and wished even more that I would have my powers back, even if it's just for a moment, enough to get me out of this situation.

My hands were still pinned above my head. Rafael's mouth went to the nape of my neck, roughly sucking on it.

"Please, stop. You're hurting me." I begged, wincing in pain.

Rafael suddenly stopped, his gaze finally meeting mine.

"That's right, Zara. This is what I want. I want to hear you cry and beg for mercy.

I want to hear you scream for help despite knowing no one would come to save you.

I will fuck you so hard your legs will fail to work. This...this is my punishment for you."

He declared, then he tore off my top, exposing my breasts.

A loud ear piercing scream tore off from my lips, I felt violated.

"Stop, Rafael. Please don't do this." I cried.

"Isn't it too late now to beg, Zara. You suddenly don't have a sharp tongue anymore. And it's Alpha to you."

His hand roughly fondled my breasts while I trashed the sheets with my legs, crying and begging him to let me go.

But it seems my pain only fueled his desire even more. He laughed at my weakness and mocked me in my face, daring me to get out of this since I'm all so powerful and mighty.

I was slowly starting to lose all hope. I wanted to finally give in, seeing that I had no way to escape.

Suddenly, a loud scream of pain tore from Rafael's lips. He rolled off me, crashing to the ground and writhing in agony, like his entire body was on fire.

I grabbed the bedsheet and wrapped it around myself, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.

Rafael was still groaning on the floor, his face twisted in pain. I had no idea what had happened, but whatever it was... it saved me.

I climbed off the bed, my eyes frantically searching for something to wear.

I spotted Rafael's shirt lying nearby, snatched it up, and slipped it on as fast as I could.

Without looking back, I rushed out of the room before he could recover, grateful beyond words that I had escaped.
