The Prince’s Unwilling mate

“Don’t pretend I know you are not sleeping anymore” Jason hissed at me, and I wish he would just let me be.

I was unsure how much he had seen exactly, or how he knew I was not asleep for that matter. All I did know was that it was unsettling that he knew. It showshe was watching my every move, commenting on it without letting David know. It was confusing, not knowing why he was helping David. And if he really agreed with all that was happening here. At the moment, he seemed to be helping me. But most of the tit seemed as if he still hated me. Like I had actually done something to hurt his sister when it was the Moon Goddess who fatedto David. In

retrospect, I would never choose him in my mind, she could have him if she wanted him so badly.

“Why are you doing this Jason, you’re awfully loyal to the man who made you, your fated mate, and your sister’s life miserable. Or did enjoy being rejected, because of what the Birches told you to do? So I might be pretending to sleep to get a little more rest. You are supporting. the man who is hurting your sister every day. So maybe it is you pretending you are pretending to love your sister. Because neither of my siblings would ever let anyone do this to me. Yet here you are waiting on the hand or foot of the man who uses your sister as his own personal prostitute. To share with everyone who wants to if it givesan advantage. All to mate with the she–wolf he told your sister, she rejected. to be with her.” I scoffed at him, and I knew how vile the things I was saying were.

But I had to, I needed to provoke him. To make him lose control and say things he shouldn’t have said. Or to at least get a read on him. If he lost control of his emotions then maybe I could find out more, and find a way to get out of this hellhole.

To his credit, Jason did get mad at me, but he managed to keep it in. He was balling his hands in fists and I expected to see the claws grow from his hand. But none of that happened. He swallowed harshly and then turned his attention back to me.

“You speak a lot for someone who is so out of touch with what is happening here. But you have always been, haven’t you, Ayla? The wonderful Ayla Hemming, the untouchable Ice Queen, does not interact with anyone but her family and two best friends. Who always got everything she ever wanted without knowing any struggle in her life. And now that you are finally struggling, it is still over the backs of others.” He snarled at me, the growing tension and the voices getting louder woke David up.

Getting into his protective Alpha role that gavethe ick right away Screaming at Jason to leave me alone. Like he was protecting his mate. from someone dangerous. And not his own Beta arguing with his captive a little bit. The situation was ironic and if it wasn’t for the pain and hunger, I would have laughed at the stupidity of the situation.

“I am mad at your mate because she is conspiring against you, just check her pockets Alpha“.

Shit shit shit, Jason must have seen, and my heart plummeted to the

soles of my feet when I heard Jason ratout. There was no way forto hide the tied ribbons fast enough. And not even David was dumb enough to believe any lie I could cup with as to why I was wearing so many ribbons with me.

David seemed to snap awake at Jason’s words, jumping out of bed and rushing to me. Roughly pulling me up, my arm so he could easily access. my pockets. Where he found about fifty ribbons, I spent the entire night making.

“What is this you filthy bitch do you really think you could hide this from me?? You need to realize what a man, is and does. A real man likeand what she–wolves can do. So I will show you” He fold me raising his hand to the sky

There was a foolish silly part ofleft that hoped that Jason would stop David from hitting me. Hoping he would have enough decency left in his phone to stop David, right in this moment I couldn’t even be sure Jason would stop David if tried to rapeagain.

I tried staring at Jason but the eye contact got disrupted as David’s fist landed square in my face. I could feel my nose break under the force of his fist slamming into my face over and over again. Jason silently witnessed with a facial expression that was somewhere between guilt and feeling gratified that I had to go through all of this.

It wouldn’t last long now I could feel it. A feeling that I was getting more and more often. A tiredness that seemed to settle directly behind.

my eyes. Sounds, sights, and smells getting muted. Like I was watching myself inside when I was standing outside, soon now I would slip back into that darkness where I would have to find the strength to fight my way out.

But today it didn’t happen because just when I was about to pass out the door creaked again. David released his hold on my collar causingto collapse to the floor. Jason turned around the door ready to shift. So whoever it was that just walked into the dungeon with us. They were not. expecting them either.

It wasn’t Griffin, I would have sensed and smelled him before the door would even open. Still, it could be one of his guards it was not like I knew the entire pack by nand or scent. Jason’s sigh of relief was the first indication that it was not who I had hoped to be.

To all our surprise it was Hannah who stood in the dungeon with us. She rushed to David and told him to stop beatinghalf to death. Then she whirled at her brother with fury in her eyes.

“And you Jason thank you so much for betrayinglike you are doing now, I begged you and this is what you do.” She yelled at him.

Hannah might have stopped David from beatingto death, and I might have been able to eat three meals yesterday. He did still punch into me

for the longest time. While he didn’t hold back at all, three filling but unhealthy meals didn’t magically bring my body back to health. I tried my best to listen to their conversation and to make sense of the fact that Hannah was here again. The weird thing was that she was wearing one of Gerald’s hoodies.

I recognized it because Jessa hated that hoodie and had tried to get Gerald to get rid of it ever since they found out they were mates. But the darkness kept pulling and pulling and I was losing the fight. Eventually, I had no other choice than to let it pullunder and close my eyes as I fell on my makeshift bed. Hoping that I would wake up soon if I would wake up at all.
