Chapter 48

I sob into Drax's shoulder as he walks up the basement stairs and to the main house, my mind swirling with fear and worry. Is he really going to mark me against my will? I try my best to struggle in his grasp, though I am too weak from the wolfsbane and unable to get a decent shot against him from this angle.
he takes us into a relatively large kitchen and places me onto one of the counter tops before retrieving a first aid kit, my eyes going wide. I needed to think of something and fast, I couldn't allow this to happen, I couldn't be most mate.
Drax takes out some antiseptic wipes and begins cleaning the open wounds on my wrists as I whimper, attempting to come up with a plan.
"Please... You don't have to do this, let me go home, I won't tell anyone what has happened." I beg, hoping he would see reason.
He stops what he is going as looks into my eyes, his jaw ticking with anger. "When I said you were mine I meant it, and once you are marked you will remain here with me for a while. Then and only then will I consider allowing you to see the others under supervision." He says. "But if you continue to test my patience you will never see them again. I am willing to be reasonable, if you behave."
"I shouldn't have to behave!" I argue, snatching my wrist away from him. "I am not yours, can't you see that? You can force your mark on me, but I will never accept you."
He growls, grabbing me by the throat and partially cutting off my air supply. "Be very careful what you say to me Annalise. I'm not like the others, I won't listen to you as you so believe. If you decide to make this difficult you will spend even more time down in that dungeon. Is that what you want?"
I choke and cough when he realises my throat and goes back to my wrists, quickly finishing cleaning them and then apply cream that would help them to heal.
I decide to change tactics. "What did you do to my wolf? I can't feel her."
"I injected wolfsbane and silver into your bloodstream to weaken you, your wolf leaving is temporary she will return." He shrugs, as though he had done something completely reasonable. "It will also make it impossible for you to use yours gifts."
I gasp slightly, "you know about that?"
"Yes. I have been watching you from the moment you arrived at Dean's pack." He places bandages around my wrists. "I will warn you that I will be giving you the same injection until I think I can trust you, I won't risk you using your wolf or your power against me or anyone else here."
"please don't.." I whisper, trying to get him to look me in the eyes. "I feel strange without her."
if I could get my wolf back, their was a possibility I could escape, Nyx was strong and fast, we might be able to outrun this alpha. If i can convince him I will behave and not cause him any trouble. I just hope I can keep my temper.
"we'll see how you behave and take it from there." He nods, seeming to consider my request. "I am finished. Your wounds will heal slower because your wolf is surpressed."
I knew what was coming next, but I still whimpered when he grabbed me by the arms and hauled me from the counter top, roughly dragging me out of the kitchen and towards the stairs. I began to panic and hyperventilate as he pulled me up the stairs one at a time, trying my best to struggle and get away.
he was too strong for me to out power and soon we were entering what I guessed to be his bedroom, my breath catching in my throat.
"no no no, don't do this!" I scream, pushing and kicking him as hard as I could. "Let me go!"
He turns around and slaps me hard across the face, causing me to stumble and crash into the floor, my eyes wide with horror. "You will do exactly what I say! Do you understand?!"
I nod, tears streaming down my cheeks. "Y-yes."
He lifts me off the floor and placed me onto the bed, my entire body shaking and trembling in fearful apprehension. Knowing their is nothing else I can do, I just lay there, watching as he removes his shirt and trousers, leaving himself only in his underwear.
"strip." He commands.
I shake my head, "I thought you were just going to mark me. Please don't make me do more."
"Do it Red, or I will do it for you." He snaps, clicking his fingers at me.
I nod my head once, slowly sitting up as I pull off my jumper and then my jeans, each one covered in layers of dirt. I place them onto the floor, not knowing if I can leave my underwear on or not, Drax watching my ever move.
"all of it." He says.
I let out a sob as I unhook my bra and take off my pants, knowing that what he is about to do will scare me for the rest of my life. Mates weren't supposed to be like this, they were supposed to be caring and gentle.
he inspects my naked body, his eyes blackening with lust as he pulls me towards him, running his hands over my slightly prominent curves. He says nothing as he pulls me onto his lap and wraps his arms around mine, Ensuring that I can't escape him.
Deax presses his nose to my neck and inhales deeply whilst I shiver in disgust, his growls of pleasure filling the room. I can feel his hard length pressing against my entrance as he licks the spot where he will mark me, causing me to tense.
"Relax, it'll hurt more if you fight me." He warns me in a soft voice, the softest he has used.
"I'm afraid." I admit, trying to stop the tears that are already slipping from my eyes.
"I'll be gentle this time." he promises, slipping inside me as he bites down on my neck.
I scream in both pleasure and pain, my nightmare just beginning.
