Chapter 336

It has been another week, it’s been three weeks now and it is hard not to lose hope. Much too soon after I felt his presence near, Griffin seemed to have left the area again. Convincing David I am giving him a second. chance seems harder than I expected too. He had soon grown bored of my squabbles with Hannah.
Expecting me to do something for him in return on the occasion he did defend me. I wasn’t stupid either I knew they still sneaked off to have sex. I should be more bothered with it if I was really giving him a chance. But it kept me off his back it would always be the same. He would be on my case for two days. Telling me how much he missed me. How much he loved me and how he would prove to me that he was my only true mate.
Nodding along, giving vague hints of me wanting to believe him or seeing he was trying more and more already took everything out of me. He would then follow his word with touches. Rough demanding touches I was sure he figured would please me. They never would not even if I did actually feel something for him. All his touches did was make it clear to me that I dodged a bullet when he rejected me.
The problem was no matter how much I wanted to play along. No matter how important it was for me to make David believe that he stood a chance with me. I could not stop my body from shuddering, backing away on instinct from his repulsive touch. He would get frustrated,

Hannah would notice and she would start brushing up on him when she brought us our supplies. She would call him Alpha in sensual whispers, barely dressed.
He would always grunt he was going to see her out and be gone for at least thirty minutes. Often, even more, coming back with the stench of sex and Hannah surrounding him. I would scrunch up my nose on instinct at the smell of it. Something he seemed to take pleasure from. Maybe in his mind, this was a part of him breaking me down. Showing me how easy it was for him to be with someone else. To try and make me so jealous that I would want him to mark me, so I had some claim. over him.
The cruel thing about this is, that if your mate has sex with another wolf you feel it. It is one of the cruelest things you can do to your mate. It feels like your heart is breaking, your skin will crawl. And the blood in your veins will get so boiling hot it hurts and burns you from the inside out. As your body spams trying to fight the overwhelming sensation flooding your body.
I was sure David and I weren’t mates, in fact, Hannah and him didn’t seem to be able to keep their hands to themselves when they were close. So he should just mark her and go on with his life. With their lives. But he didn’t because he was still so convinced that I was his mate. And yet thinking I was, he risked hurting me like that every time he took Hannah outside to fuck her. I saw this place as a dungeon, he saw it as the home he built for the two of us. Talking like he didn’t care about being the Alpha anymore as long as he had me. So in his mind, he was cheating on his mate, doing so on or against the home he built her. Enjoying any Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

reaction he would get from me when he returned.
It showed me the depths of his insanity and wickedness. Making me wonder how in eighteen years of being friends I missed how horribly vile he was. How dark and evil the boy I thought I loved for so many years truly was.
Just like the fact I seemed to have been blind to the fact that Hannah truly liked him. I always knew she did, but like most of the pack members, I figured she liked his status. She loved the idea of becoming his Luna. The leader of the pack but the more I saw the two of them together I saw the truth. For some fucked up reason she seemed to really love him. Her eyes would light up when he would growl at me that he would see her out. It was something more than lust I was sure of that.
It explained why she hated me so much too, even after he rejected me he did not choose her. It did make me wonder why she had seemed so excited about the idea of Griffin choosing her as his chosen måte. Even now she seemed to get deadset on getting Griffin instead. Was she just doing what David wanted to make him happy? Was she so sacrificial in her love for him? I could hardly imagine Hannah as sacrificial, then again I never considered her capable of loving either. And somehow she did. Somehow she managed to love the most despicable person known to our kind. She knew about him killing his parents and she still loved him.
Today when she came in looking pained at how close David and I were sitting. Something I did to make him believe in the fact that I was getting used to the idea of taking him back as my mate. I was certain she really did love David. The other thing I was certain of was the fact that he

would have sex with her again today. Since I had been refusing him for three days straight again. Hannah seemed to sense it too. Brushing up against him more than ever, she somehow smelled of feromones. To the point where she even smelled good to me.
We both seemed surprised at David’s utter lack of response to her flirting. The heady scent of his arousal filled the cramped dungeon. Where on days like this he would normally tell me he was going to walk her out. He didn’t even look at her now when he dismissed her. Thanking her for the supplies and telling her, we would see her tomorrow. She snarled at me to have fun, saying she hoped I liked it rough. Her words chilled me to the bone ever since arriving here I was scared to death he would force himself on me.
Up until now, he had seemed determined to make sure the sex was consensual. Which it would never be, but him trying to get me to, all while he was letting out some frustrations on Hannah benefitted me. Not only was the thought of having sex with David absolutely repulsing to me. The only thing that would be worse was the knowledge that Griffin would feel the pain of his mate having sex with someone else. He might even understand or feel it was not consensual but it would only make him hurt more.
And even now that it had been three weeks, even now that he had been so close only to leave again. I was still sure he would come for me, he would never leave me here to die.
“Dress cute, we’re going out today you are about to see your sister–in–law again” David addressed me completely ignoring Hannah and her

remarks.

The odd situations, the sudden change of heart about me going out. And the petrified look in Hannah’s eyes made me swallow with fear. There was a ball stuck in my throat now blocking it so I could not swallow down my breakfast. Something was so terribly wrong and I was about to find out what it was.

As promised after breakfast David had taken me out of the dungeon. He had placed a collar around my neck like I was a damn dog with silver spikes. If I tried to run away from him the spikes would stab me in the throat and they were long enough to kill me. I had no other option than to obediently walk alongside him.
For a moment I thought I had figured out where we were, but when we started walking he started walking in the opposite direction of where I believed the pack would be. Until I noticed a shallow grave in the woods, my heart clenched hoping it was just a coincidence we walked past this.
But as David stopped I knew it wasn’t.
“He lies your beloved sister–in–law” He spoke not even mentioning her

“My father made me reject you, he made Hannah try to be with the prince before being with me. So I killed them, to have you back but she” he said as he angrily waved at the shallow grave.
“She did not obey my Alpha voice, she ran of to warn that prince of yours. I wish you were different but I guess I need to force people to do what I want even you, my mate. So the nice David is gone now” He snarled as he yanked me closer by the leash he was holding connected to the collar. I closed my eyes knowing what would happen to me now.
