Chapter 57

Drax escorted me down to the dining room, his mood quickly lifting from the sour one it had started as. The others had already arrived and I noticed that Chloe had more bruises on her face and arms than she had the day before. My heart going out to her. I wish that their was some way I could help her get out of this, but we were both trapped with these monsters with little hope of escape.
he took his usual seat and I took mine, my head lowered slightly as I was told it should always be. They had a strange way of looking at women in this pack, and strange views on how things should be. But again their was nothing that I could do about it. I couldn't stop them from treating us like property, because that's how they saw me, I was nothing but a prize to be won and Drax thinks he has won.
I saw the guard who escorted me to my room yesterday, he was stood in the doorway, just the same as the day before, his eyes roaming the room but never landing on me. I wonder once again if what he said was true, was my mates coming for me? Would they arrive soon?
I wanted it to be true more than anything else, I wanted them to save me, I didn't want to remain here as a prisoner. I just had to pretend I was a good woman to Drax in the meantime, I couldn't allow him to realise what was happening behind his back. I had to play the part well if I was ever going to get away with it.
the slaves brought out the trays of food whilst I kept silent, Drax talking to Christian about pack business, apparently they were planning another attack on a neighbouring pack. One that wouldn't align with them.
I felt sorry for other packs and how alpha Drax was treating them, killing all in his path. But what could I do? I was in a similar situation and if I didn't obey I was putting Zane's life at risk.
Drax turns to me, filling my plate with food. "I hope you are hungry Red, the cooks made pancakes today."
I looked up from my plate of pancakes and bacon, faking a smile. "Do we have syrup?" I ask sweetly.
He smiles back, clearly falling for my placid attitude. "Of course." He turns away. "Christian pass the syrup."
I keep my eyes focused on Drax as he turns back around, his smile holding as he watched me closely, searching for any cracks in my attitude. "I think I deserve a kiss for this Red, syrup is hard to come by." He says with a smirk, one I wanted to slap from his face.
I fake a small giggle before leaning forward and capturing his lips, pressing mine against him hard enough to bruise. I had to make it seem that I was a good girl, that I would do anything my mate tells me to do. I couldn't let him find out the plan, I had to do this. I reminded myself of my mates, pretending it was MAtthew I was kissing or even Alexander with his heart shaped lips.
The kiss ended suddenly, Drax pulling back; panting slightly. "Don't tease me like that Red, I might take you right here." He says with a growl.
I tilt my head to the side and bite my lower lip. "Is that a promise?" I whisper.
He growls again, roughly grabbing my chin and slamming his lips into mine, I allow his tongue to enter my mouth and mask a gag with a moan of pleasure. He pulls back again, his eyes almost black; showing his wolf was close to the surface.
"Good girl." Alpha Drax groans, handing me the syrup.
"Anything for my mate." I smoothly say, licking my lips.
His eyes go to my lips, "Don't do that." He growls, though I can tell he likes it.
I do it again, slower this time. "Do what?" I tease.
His jaw clenched as he turns his head away trying to regain his composure before he a announces to the pack; "My mate certainly is perfect."
The pack laughs, some of them watching me with lustful expressions. Each one wanting to have a taste, though if they tried I'd chop off their manhoods.
"exactly." I say. "I'm yours."
He smiles once again, taking a bite of his food. "What would you like to do today?" He asks me.
Drax's question shocks me as I pour the syrup onto my pancakes, my words low and unsure. "What are you doing today?"
"Christian and I will be away most of the day, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun my Red wolf, tell me what you would like to do."
I knew right away it was a test, he was trying to see if I would ask to be alone, he knows that if I said that I would mean to escape. I had to think of something and fast.
"Can I hang out with Chloe?" I ask, glancing at her from across the table, causing her head to snap in my direction. "I've never really had a female friend."
His smile widens and I realise it worked, he thinks he had broken me in. "Of course." He turns to Chloe's owner. "James, you can accompany me whilst Chloe spends the day with Annalise."
James nods, liking the arrangement. It was an honour to serve the alpha. "Yes alpha, I would be honoured to accompany you." He turns to Chloe, his voice hardening. "You will spend the day with our alphas mate and you will behave."
"yes sir." She replies instantly, her voice small and shaky.
I smile at her, softening my voice. "Maybe we could watch some movies together." I turn to Drax. "Can I have some make up? We could do each others nails, make it a girly day." I bat my eye lashes.
"sure thing Red." He turns to his beta. "See that she has everything they need before we leave."
christian nods, looking at me with a strange expression. "Yes alpha."
I could finally have some time alone where I could be myself, though I could not tell chloe anything, I couldn't risk her going back to James and telling her my plans. I had to look like I was a good mate, I had to be sweet and caring.
but at least I could get her away from her abusive mate for a little while, and whilst their isn't much else I can do for her, a few hours of fun should help raise her spirit.
