Chapter 12 - Spawn Of Satan

*******Coda's POV*******

"My name is Maddison."

I froze.

Silence then followed her words for a brief moment.

It took me a minute to process it as the name alone sent a slow shiver down my spine.

"Say it again." I sniff, still recovering from my sobbing breakdown with my face buried in her neck.

It was the first time I had cried in years. I always got angry with myself for ever coming close to crying. Tough men don't cry... but for her I did.

"Maddison. That's my name." She says softly, releasing a sigh as I can't help but smile.

"Maddison..." I test on my tongue, feeling her shiver as I say her name aloud.

"That's perfect." I smile into her neck, enjoying just being there for a moment.

"My name is Coda." I state, lifting my head to watch her now.

She smiles at me gently in return making my heart beat quicken.

"Coda..." She nods in approval, causing me to shiver again at my own name rolling off her tongue.

She told me her name. After all this time I finally knew her God damn name! How much more perfect can this day get?

"I'm mad that you lied to me you know." She then states, causing me to nod once in understanding.

"I just didn't know what to do. I still don't really know what to do. I don't want anybody to take you away from me...I'd die before I let anyone take you away from me! It's selfish of me to keep you here but I can't just let you go." I state sternly, as she just sighs again.

"I understand... but... you took me away from everything and everyone that I ever loved... I've been nothing more than a prisoner for this past whole year." She states sadly, causing me to gulp in shame.

The bond is so much stronger with us both being able to feel it now. It was incredible and I really refuse to let her go for anything in the world but now that it was stronger, I just felt even worse about the way I've treated her...

"I just always figured that it would be easier for us both if I kept it a secret... even from you..." I comment, as she just simply nods again.

"But what are we going to do now? I can't live like a slave forever Coda? Pretending I don't have a mate, staying away from my family and friends forever... it's not fair." She questions me, the pain in her voice evident.

I hate forcing her to live like that too.

"You need to listen to everything I say in order for us both to make it out of here. Do you understand me?" I say sternly, showing her that I'm serious about it, earning a worried nod in return.

If I was going to make this all up to her, I had to get us both out, and fast.

"Sometimes you might think I'm being too harsh or rough but we need to keep up the impression that you're my slave is that understood?" I state, as she nods warily again.

"But what for? Can't we just run from here? My Father and Mother won't hate you once I explain things to them... well I mean my father still might hate you for a while but that's just what he's like but they will protect us from these rogues nonetheless and I'm sure they will respect you taking me back and..." She rambles innocently before I cut her off-

"It's more complicated than that Maddison... It's got nothing to do with your family or these rogues. Listen to me when I say that there's a huge danger to us both here and it's a problem that I can't just run away from. It will follow us when we leave. We won't ever be able to feel safe anywhere. You won't ever be safe and I can't live worrying about losing you. I'm not ready to talk about it either so don't ask questions. Just please give me some time and I'll eventually tell you everything I promise but you have to trust me." I ask warily, watching as she thinks it over for a minute.

She lowers her eyes sadly but nods anyway in agreement.

"Will we finally get out of here though? Do you promise?" She asks sadly as I place two fingers under her chin to make her look up at me.

"I promise I'll do everything possible to get us out." I state confidently, before kissing her head gently.

"What about my parents? Can I at least contact them to let them know that I'm ok? My family will be heart broken right now..." She asks with slight hope in her eyes causing my heart to break at the sight of her.

I'm just lucky that she doesn't entirely hate me for everything I've done...

"It's not a good idea... it could get us caught." I confirm after a minutes thought, watching as her eyes now hold hurt behind them.

"We could maybe look into sending a letter... but we will need to wait and discuss everything first before sending one. I'd rather you knew my full story before we do anything else..." I admit, as she nods in slight understanding.

"You know my father is the Alpha King and he's ruthless... I'm pretty sure that he could wipe out all of these rogues if we just told him where we are?" She says, trying her best to help out.

"It's not that I can't escape these other average rogues sweet heart... I'd kill every last one of them here with my bare hands if I had to. You've seen yourself how they all fear me... The real problem is the one reason why I even ended up stuck here in the first place... its much more than your average wolf Maddison... it's a wolf that's committed far too many sins to count. It's a wolf that will go to extreme lengths to grow stronger every day... it's a wolf that I know myself I can't defeat alone... a wolf that others won't want to face in battle... she can only be described as a spawn of Satan since she's so evil."

Maddison just stares at me, her hands trembling as she listens to my every word.

"She?" She questions in a whisper, picking up on the fact that I referred the our greatest threat as being a female.

I do nothing but nod. Her gulping as I do so.

"I need to think it all through. I need a solid plan before we make any moves. I need you to know the truth about me but I can't bring myself to tell you yet. Give me time. But I promise I'll stop at nothing to get us out for good." I tell her, staring straight into her worried eyes to show that I'm serious.

"I...I... I trust you." She stutters out, breaking my heart that she's now so frightened.

"Don't be scared... I have at least a couple of days to spend some normal time with you until we need to go back to pretending your my slave ok?... So it's your birthday and I know it's not much but how about we order whatever you want to eat and watch movies in my room?" I suggest, hopeful that this will maybe help make her feel a bit better for the time being.

She doesn't speak but attempts a smile and nods.

"Do you want to stay out here for a while longer before we head back?" I question, as her eyes light up at the thought of spending most of the day out here.

"I would love that." She whispers, before I pull her close and she rests her head on my shoulder.

As peaceful and relaxed as this moment is... I can't help but feel nervous for the coming future...

I need to get us out.

And fast.

But how?
