Chapter 54

Drax carries me into the full dining room and sets me down in a chair, warning me with a single look that I better behave or their will be consequences. I sit their silently, everyone's eyes on me. Their was only one other female in the room, her head cast down as mine should be, her eyes wide with fear.
I hated what they did to us, how they treated us like we were possessions and not people with feelings, but I couldn't do anything about it. Not now. I was just as much a prisoner as she was, bound to Drax by his mark. I had no choice either.
I waited silently until Drax took his seat, putting food on both of our plates. This was a test and I knew it, he was going to see if I would obey him, if I kept to my word. I didn't have any kind of appetite, but when he nodded at me I began to eat slowly, not saying a single word.
Drax turns away from me, satisfied that I am doing as I am told. "You may all begin." He said, the others around the table beginning to eat.
I look over at the girl again, her strawberry blonde hair was covering most of her face, but I knew her eyes were a pale blue. She had bruises coating her fair skin and she only wore a thin blue dress, one that you could see her breasts through.
"She's new, her name is Chloe." Drax told me, following my stare.
"Is she ok?" I whisper, turning to look at him in the eye.
He nods, "she will be as long as she obeys."
Chloe looked absolutely terrified, her entire body shaking as the man she was with ignored her completely, taking and laughing With those sat across from him.
i finshed my plate and sat back, watching as Drax spoke to Christian about business that didn't relate to me, something along the lines of security for the pack. Once everyone had finshed Drax stood, pulling me to my feet with him, the open back hospital gown I was wearing barley covering anything.
"I have some business to attend to in my office, you will spend the day with Christian." He told me, planting a kiss on my forehead.
"Ok." I whisper, "but could I please change first?"
He laughs, looking down at the gown I was wearing before nodding. "Of course, can't have you running around like that." He turns to his beta. "Don't let her out of your sight."
Christian grabs my arm and pulls me out of the room before I could catch a glimpse of Chloe again, pulling me up the stairs and towards the alphas room. he shuts the door behind us and goes straight into the closet, coming out with a thin pink dress.
"This will look good on you." He says with a smile, watching me closely.
"Can you leave so that I can change?" I ask, nervously looking at my bare feet.
He shakes his head, "You can change whilst I am here, my orders are not to let you out of my sight."
I bite down hard on my tongue to prevent me from lashing out at him, his words boiling my blood. What a pervert! Can I not even have some privacy anymore?!
I turn around, showing him my back as I take off the hospital gown and replace it with the pink dress, thankful when it goes a little ways past my knees. it wasn't much, but it was better than walking around naked.
I look back at Christian as I place the disguarded gown into the wash hamper near the bed, nervously twisting my hands.
"what are we going to do?" I ask.
"I was thinking that I could show you the games room, it has every entertainment system someone needs." He says with a smile, heading towards the door.
I follow two steps behind him as he goes back town to the bottom floor, turning the opposite way of the dining hall. He takes us to a room that's covered in tvs and games consoles, lines upon lines of games and dvds lining book shelves.
Christian slumps down on the sofa with a remote and turns on the tv, flicking through movies that were already on the screen. He says nothing to me as I perch of the end of a chair, as far away from him as I could get. I focus my attention on the screen even though it's the last thing I want to do, my nerves high from being left alone with him.
He seemed like a creep to me, he was always watching me even when he thinks I don't notice. It made me uncomfortable and on edge, my heart thumping recklessly within my chest.
"Anything you want to watch? I have seen most of these, so you can pick." He said slowly, smiling at me strangely.
"I don't know much about movies." I admit, shifting uncomfortably. "Before I can here I didn't have much chance to watch anything. But... I like Disney ... I've seen a couple of those movies."
He laughs, slapping his leg. "A Disney girl, I reckon I could have placed a bet on that. Most girls there days are into those kinds of movies."
"I guess I'm pretty predictable." I mumble, starting to feel really uncomfortable around him.
I was sure he wouldn't try anything, mainly because he wouldn't want to deal with Drax's anger, but that didn't mean he wouldn't push boundaries. I wasn't about to get controlled by another man, I had to mention this to the alpha, I didn't care if it made things awkward. I needed to feel safe if I was going to be staying here for a while.
He put a film called Tangled on and leant back, relaxing into the cushions to watch it. I remained straight and alert, my anxiety never leaving me.
I had never felt this uncomfortable before, not since I was under Balthazar roof, nor had I been this afraid of of man since then.
If this was my life now, I wasn't entirely sure that I wanted to live.
