Chapter 4 Aquamarine's POV " No ! No ! " I screamed , struggling against the wolf on top of me . My eyes flew to Beta Liam . " F - father ! " my voice cracked , " P - please s - save me ! " I didn't care if he'd hit me later for calling him father , but I didn't want to die . At least not now . " P - please ! S - save me , father ! " But he didn't do anything . None of them did . Even with my blurry vision and the amount of tears streaming down my face , I could still see the look on their faces as I was dragged out of the palace . " G - goddess Luna , p - please do something ," I desperately prayed silently . One of the guards tied a rag tightly over my mouth , gagging me and increasing the pain on my bruised cheek . As the guards dragged me through the street , rotten food and vegetables were thrown at me from all angles . Upon reaching the execution centre , another group of guards in dark uniforms approached us . " Hand her over , we'll take it from here ." one of them growled . The palace guards hesitated like they were uncertain about it . However , the leader of the new group snapped , " Orders from the Alpha ! " and the palace guards released their grip on me . The new guards seized me , their grasp colder and harder than before . Then I noticed they were taking me in another direction , towards the woods . I struggled against their hold , but they dragged me relentlessly through the woods , till we arrived deep inside . There was an old abandoned building with more guards outside and a high fence . . The guards tossed me inside a room , causing me to land hard on the dusty floor . My leg was chained to the wooden bed stand . I heard the door lock behind me and I was left alone . After hours of trying to loosen the tight rag over my mouth , the door creaked open . Clinton stood by the doorway , his eyes locked onto mine with his lips curved into a smirk . " You've always been a deadly temptation I couldn't resist ," he said . " Your curves , your full breasts , wide hips , and small waist - every part of you drives me wild . " He started walking towards me , his expression twisting in disgust . " But let's be clear . I never loved you , never even liked you . You're still an abomination , " he spat . " A freak , a creature that shouldn't exist among our kind ." So this is what he wants ? He just wanted my body . He just wanted to have sex with me . How could he ? I can't believe I loved this man . " Even though I have my Luna , it doesn't change a thing . She's my power partner , but you … you're my secret indulgence . " His words sent shivers down my spine . Clinton's eyes blazed with lust as he pinned me to the dirty floor . He loosened the rag from my mouth and immediately forced his lips on mine . I tried to push him away , but he was too strong . He ripped my gown , exposing my skin to the cold air . I cried out , begging for help . Goddess Luna , please send me a helper ! I would rather die than let him have his way with me Just as all hope seemed lost . I caught the scent of something intoxicating . It was like nothing I'd ever smelled before . It was addictive , earthy , and seductive . I was confused , why could I perceive this scent now , after Clinton had rejected me ? It didn't make sense , but it was much more intoxicating than Clinton's 1/3 6-10 Chapter 4 The scent grew stronger , filling my senses and I pushed against Clinton , trying to break free from his grasp . " Stop ! " I shouted . " Get off me ! " Clinton's face twisted in rage , his eyes blazing with a vicious intensity that made my blood run cold . " You think you can reject me ? " he snarled . He slapped me , and my head spun . My vision was blurry as pain exploded across my cheek . " You will submit to me ! Bond or no bond ! " he growled . He ripped my undergarments , tearing them apart like paper . Just as he was about to tear them completely , the door banged open , and a dark , huge figure burst in . Something big , swift and powerful struck Clinton , sending him flying across the room . His back hit the wall with a loud bang , causing the wall to crack and the wood to splinter . As Clinton struggled to rise , the beast struck again , its claws raking across Clinton's face and I swore I heard something crack before he collapsed , unconscious . My heart was pounding loudly against my chest . My skin lost all its color and my whole body trembled as I took the scene . The beast left Clinton's side and walked closer to me , its eyes fixed on mine . My mind screamed ' Mate ! ' but my body refused to move . This was the one who had just brutalized Clinton . The beast's pace was slow , yet deadly . I trembled , trying to cover myself with the pieces Clinton had ripped off . Suddenly , the figure pounced on me , its body covering mine . I screamed , terrified . But instead of attacking me , it sniffed me , inhaling deeply . Its nose traced my neck , my shoulders , and my hair . I was paralyzed with fear , yet … a strange sense of ease crept over me . It was as if my body recognized this creature , and trusted it . " Please don't hurt me , " I whispered , my voice trembling . The beast remained on top of me . Suddenly , its body began to shift , turning into a human form . After a moment , a very heavy and big shirtless man lay on my body . His hands found my hair , stroking it as if checking if it was real and I trembled beneath it . He then nuzzled my neck , inhaling deeply once more . He brushed his lips against my skin , sending waves of fear and excitement through me . Finally , it pulled back and his eyes locked onto mine . I was mesmerized by his golden - coloured eyes like the blazing sun . My eyes roamed over his chiselled features , the sharp jawline , and the prominent scar that ran from his left eye to his cheek . He was the definition of a Greek God . Too much of a Greek God . In fact , the more I stared at him the more his face began to fit the description of a popular tale that echoed in my mind : Eyes of gold , tyrant's sway . Scar , terror , endless fight , Ruthless Beast , cold as night .
