Chapter 96


    Alora’s POV


    It was cold… it was always cold down here…and dark. There was a very small glowing from the


    dirt covered window on the other side of the basement. I was curled up on the damp stone floor, up


    against the support beam I was chained to. I could hear something dripping from somewhere. I was


    covered in blood and my own filth. I had been down here for so long. Thest of the wounds from the


    recent whipping sealing shut. Then I hear a m as the upstairs door shuts and Sarah lets out a shriek


    for her mother.


    I start to shake, I know what’sing…she’ll being down here soon…and she’ll start on me again.


    More shrieking goes on upstairs before the basement door is mmed open and shut with loud bangs.


    Sarah stomps down the stairs and over to were I am and then kicks me in the stomach, once, twice,


    three times. I felt close to vomiting from the blows. I don’t understand a word she’s saying, I’ve stopped


    listening to her ranting a long time ago. O


    I try and sit up in an effort to stop her from kicking me again, but I was weak from blood loss andck of


    nutrition, they haven’t feed me in days. Before I can move farther she ps me, causing me to fall back


    down on the ground. She keeps pping me, I lost count of how many ps she gave me. Then she


    stops breathing heavily for a moment, she looked like a demon from hell to me, her face twisted in


    anger, her hands looked like they were about to w me. (2)


    Then she walks over to the table. No…no…please…Goddess….no… But my silent pleading went


    unanswered. She came back with her leather roll of knives. She took out one of her favorites. It was a


    six inch, double sided de, a dagger really. I knew begging and pleading with her wouldn’t get her to


    stop, it only brought Sarah pleasure. So I refuse to scream with the first cut, a deep slice down my


    thigh.


    She looks mad that I didn’t voice my pain, my blood isn’t flowing as fast as she’d like either, but then…


    I’d already lost so much of it. She buried the dagger in my shoulder, and I have to bite back another


    scream as the silver sears my flesh and the de goes out the other side. My body is trembling with


    the pain and blood loss. Her face twists even more as she bes furious at myck of response to


    her torture. 2


    She yanks the de out of my shoulder, I barley catch the scream of agony at that move, my entire


    body covered in sweat. She shrieks at me more, something about Darien, then ps me a few more


    times. My lips are already split, blood dripping from my mouth, my eyes were ck. She stabs me in


    the other shoulder all the way through again, this time a small whimper is let out, and she smiles. (1)


    I redouble my efforts not to give in to the noises again. She slices a deep gash down my arm, I want to


    scream so badly with the agony, but I withheld it. Sarah’s smile falters and turns into an ugly snarl and


    she slices the other arm. There was more fiery pain, my vision was bing fuzzy, and ck dots


    were appearing. Another deep slice, down my other thigh. It was so painful, but I refused to scream.


    She slices me across the top of my breasts. More of my blood flows out to drench me in a fresh coat of


    it. 2


    Then finally done with my resistance, stabs me deep in my stomach, twisting the knife, I couldn’t hold


    back the scream any more as she yanked the de out and stabbed again, twisting the de inside


    me, she does it again, driving my agony higher getting more screams of pain from me. I feelrge


    hands on both of my upper arms, they were warm, shaking me.


    Finally I heard the deep male voice call out “Alora! Alora wake up! Starlighte back to me! Alora!” I


    could her pain and worry in that voice. Sarah stabs me in my thigh this time, digging deep and twisting


    the knife, causing another agonized scream of pain. The voice is yelling again “Alora please wake up


    baby, wake up,e back to me.” I realized that voice wasn’t supposed to be there.


    It would have never been down here in this basement. Then my eyes snap open and I see Damien’s


    worried agonized face, there were tears in his eyes, I reach a hand up and say “Damien.” or I tried to


    anyway, my voice was hoarse and my throat hurt. My body was covered in sweat and I was shaking.


    My heart was racing and I felt a little weak. That’s when I realize Damien had witnessed a brief look


    into the horror show that had been my life.


    He starts to pet my hair his hand was shaking “I couldn’t wake you up, you were screaming….when I


    touched you…I saw…” he wraps his arms around me holding me so tight and close to him, he sits up


    and puts me in hisp, rocking me back and forth as we calm down from the nightmare, he had to drag


    me back from. My mate had seen a glimpse of what Sarah had done to me that week, and all the other


    times I would get locked in that horrible basement. 2


    “I’m sorry Damien.” I tell him, upset that he had to witness that.


    “Sorry? Starlight…why are you sorry?” he asked me.


    “For having to see that.” I tell him, my voice small.


    He stiffens, then with one hand he lifts my chin, forcing me to meet his fierce gaze. “You have nothing


    to be sorry for. Nothing! You were a victim, none of that was your fault. I’m also your mate. It’s my duty


    and honor to take care of you, in every way possible,” he growls. I can feel how fiercely he believes


    that. He was my mate and would be there for my nightmares and the aftermath.


    I let the tearse, sobbing he pulls me back into his arms. “Cry it out, don’t let it poison you anymore,


    I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere.” he tells me in a husky voice. I cried for a while, letting it all go,


    my head hurt and my nose was stuffy after crying for so long…but I needed it. Damien had been right.


    Once calm I wipe my face and Damien hands me a tissue to blow my nose with.


    Looking around I see the sun hase up, it was time to get up for the day, I was going to be


    shopping for a dress and essories today. I was also going to get to meet my dad in person. Smiling I


    look at my mate. “We need to go down for breakfast soon.” I tell him. He looks at me, and I realize


    we’re naked as he starts petting my side and his gaze starts to burn with his desire.


    I look at him for a long moment “Kiss me.” I demanded. He crushes me to him and kisses me fiercely,


    with so much passion. I’m instantly set aze with my own desire. I needed my mate to take away the


    rest of my nightmare, and feeling him love me was the best way to free me from it. His mouth moves off


    of mine as he kissed his way over my jaw and down my neck.


    He had me on my back and was kneeling between my legs when he bit down on my neck, making me


    cry out in pleasure as it shot through me, causing my core to heat and slicken with my fluid. He licked


    the bite, then he kissed his way down to one breast, sucking and nibbling on my nipple. I cry out as the


    pleasure has me close to orgasm. His warm hands pushed my thighs apart, he notches his cock at my


    entrance, then he switches his mouth to my other breast, mming home as he sucks in my nipple.


    I scream in pleasure as he starts to take me fast and hard, thrusting deep, I push my chest up higher


    and move my hips against his, driving him deeper, as I’m driven to that precipice he lifts up and says


    “Look at me.” and my eyes meet his, my gaze trapped by his as he watches while he takes us over that


    edge, it was so much more intense. I cry out and he roars, my core mping down on him, his hips jerk


    with every jet of his hot seed inside my womb.

    He copses next to me, pulling me to him, hugging me close. All I could think for a moment was, that


    this was a better way to wake up than to that awful nightmare, and I was looking forward to many more


    mornings filled with that kind of a wake up. ?
