---- Twas only thinking about escaping the moment he let his guard down, hunting down his mother, and getting my daughter back.


    "T''ll give in.


    I''ll do whatever you want if you let my daughter return safely to the castle." I lied, masking it with all the confidence I could muster.


    "If you even try something, you damn harpy, ll gut your daughter right in front of you," he threatened.


    But I could already feel his arousal pressing against my hip through the satin of my dress.


    "Do you want to fuck me or not?!" I snapped, forcing bravery, and Timmediately saw the smug satisfaction on his face, the triumph in his eyes.


    Ina blink, he was on me like a dog in heat, pinning me harder against the tree.


    He controlled my every movement, tensehe was alert, not trusting my words.


    His disgusting mouth buried itself in my cleavage, sucking at my skin painfully, trying to pull the fabric aside to grope my breasts.


    Tears burned in the corners of my eyes.


    Ishut them tightly, drowning in memories of past degradations and the one happening now.


    ---- Every limb trembled.


    I bit down on my own brutalized lip to pull myself out of that endless loop of torment, my mind fractured.


    Tcouldn''t break down nowI couldn''t.


    Only with Elliot had I felt like a real woman and not an object.


    [had given myself to him because I wanted to.


    Even my first time had been a naive teenage infatuation.


    Lift your skirt and pull down your panties.


    Come on, hurry up, whore! Fuck, youre making me so damn hard right now!" "Wait, step back a littleI can''t take anything off like this..." "Forget it.


    I''ll do it myself.


    And dont even think about running!" he said, leaning down hurriedly.


    His rough hands lifted the tatteredyers of my dress.


    I felt them groping my thighs crudely, traveling up toward my core.


    T looked at his lowered head in front of mehis neck, his back.


    Rage consumed me.


    What good was this damn magic if it had never helped me in my worst moments?Just a few crumbs of mercy...


    "Now, now, damn it! NOW OR NEVER!" I roared inside my fragmented mind.


    Something stirred in my chest, a powerful fluttering, a burning heat, an incredible surge of energy I couldn''tprehend.


    I thought it was some kind of powerfire, acid, something! A weapon to destroy this bastard, who was already sliding his fingers inside my panties, writhing against me like a worm.


    ---- I braced myself to explode with him if necessary, but I wasnt prepared for what I saw when I suddenly lifted my head, answering the call of my soul.


    Amassive creature emerged from the dense fog, rushing toward us, straight out of the worst nightmares imaginable.


    It hade to kill.


    Its murderous expression said it all.


    It was here to take a life.


    Or maybe two.
