Chapter 50

Drax grabbed my wrist and lead me out of the safety of the bedroom, moving quickly as he dragged me down the stairs. The rogue alphas pack house wasn't as big as the one I was used to, only spread out across three floors, but it was still big enough to get lost, something that I didn't want. I couldn't afford to draw attention to myself, these men were rogues, they didn't listen to the laws set out for all wolves.
They didnt care about being nice or caring, each of them were monsters, killing packs where ever they went. Even the children who couldn't defend themselves. I hated them all and wished their was something I could do to destroy them myself. They didn't deserve to live, not after all they had done.
I knew that if I tried to run I would be caught and sent back down to that dungeon, and it wouldn't be good for me or Drax. He didn't want me to embarrass him in front of his pack of rogues, and I didn't blame him. I suppose that any sign of weakness they would throw him out or kill him. besides, if I did run, I wouldn't make if fae, not without Nyx.
I had to find some way of showing him I could be trusted, then maybe he wouldn't inject me again. I felt strange without her presence, as though a part of me was missing, like I couldn't do anything alone.
He dragged me into a large dinning room, my head lowered towards the ground in submission, not wanting to see their eyes on me. I blinked a few times when the entire room went quiet, all eyes turning towards us as Drax pulled me with him to the head of the table, making me sot in the chair that was beside his.
No one moved or said anything as he sat down, filling both of our plates with the variety of breakfast food. I had the urge to look around and see the wolves present, but fear prevented me from doing so, what would they think of me? Would they want me dead?
whereecer I went I stood out because of my eyes and my hair, people tended to know right away that I was different, but I didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing. I notice a hand wrapped in a bandage sit across from me, and I know instantly that it belongs to the blonde haired man who came down to the cell, trying to get me eat.
I had bitten him when he forced the food into my mouth, it was a spur of the moment decision and I regretted it, that decision is what had caused Drax to come back and mark me.
last night was hell, I wanted to fight against him, I didn't want him to do the things he did to me, but he insisted that I needed to bare his heir quickly as it would solidify the bond we had. But I barley listened, I just had to make it through and pray it was enough for him to spare Zane and the others. I couldn't do anything whilst they were in danger.
"I would like to introduce you all to my female." Drax says, announcing my presence to the room. "As you all know she is quite special, the Red wolf. A gift from Selene herself. But, she is mine and if anyone touches her. You'll have me to deal with. Do I make myself clear?"
the whole room answers in unison. "Yes alpha!"
Drax nods, "You may all eat." He says in a stale voice, as though he'd rather be somewhere else or is bored. He turns to me and hands me a plate, motioning to the blonde haired wolf. "You have already met Christian, my beta."
I nod my head, but no words leave my lips as I stare down at my plate, not even bothering to touch the food I was given. How could I have an appetite after everything? I barely felt alive.
"yeah, your she-wolf has a nasty bite." Christian laughs, causing a few others who were listening to join in.
"she does." Drax agees, digging into his food. "But I'll tame her soon enough. Last night was the first of many."
I felt sick to my stomach when others around the table cheered at his words, pleased that he had marked me already and claimed my body. I however, despised him. I only allowed him to do those things to me because he threatened my true mates lives, promising that he'd kill them if I didn't obey him.
"Eat Annalise, you need your strength." Alpha Drax commands me, watching me carefully.
I lift my head to meet his deadly stare, shaking my head slowly. "I have no appetite, alpha." I say.
He growls, slamming his hand against the table, causing me and a few other females to jump. "You do as I say, I will not accept any of your excuses."
I nod my head, quickly glancing at Christian who was smiling at me, a smile that sent shivers of terror down my spine. I turn my attention towards my plate, pulled high with eggs, bacon, sausage and toast. How could I possibly eat All of this? I had never been able to eat that amount of food, it had been drilled into me to eat little since my childhood of slavery.
I pick at the bacon, managing to eat two pieces and a slice of toast, the others finishing before me. People began leaving the room whilst my plate was still piled with food, my anxiety rising when Drax growled at me; thinking I was making a fool out of him.
"you will sit there until your plate is empty, Red." He tells me, storming out of the room as he tells some friars to watch me. "Do not leave her side and don't let her leave." He says to them.
Christian laughs, rising to his feet. "I wouldn't keep angering him if I were you, it'll not end well."
I was left alone in the dining room, my heart racing as I stared at the plate of food, no appetite to help me. My stomach knotted with worry and sickness. I didn't want the food, I didn't want anything from him. But what would happen if I didn't eat it? What would he do to me?
I dreaded the answer.
