Chapter 10

I felt my instincts settle as the terror overcame me. I screamed a cry as I shook violently, "They tried to take me to him!" I cried out as I pulled Ty's hand to my chest, "They planned it so I was all alone! I was so scared!"

"I'm so sorry!" Ty cried as he pulled me up and held me against his chest, "I'm so, so sorry!"

I looked up to him again, "I take back what I said! I can't go back! He will make it where I can never escape again!"

"I won't let him have you!" Ty hissed, "He does not own you!"

I hugged him as he began shaking also, "They said he is close. We have to run. We have to go tonight."

Chris came over and helped me stand before hugging me, "We will make preparations."

I looked over to Cade, Carley, and Aaron as Carley began crying. I let go of Chris and went to her. I held her tightly, "I'm so sorry," I whispered, "I never wanted any of you to see that."

She shook as she squeezed me, "I thought they were going to take you and I couldn't stop them!"

I shook my head, "You helped more than you know."

Carley pulled away slightly so that we looked to each other, "I want to go with you."

"No, Carley, you can't leave your entire life behind. You have friends, family, and a career here. I can't take you away from this."

"But I don't want to be apart! We are a team!"

I kissed her forehead as she blushed, "You are a very sweet girl, Carley, and you deserve more than I can give you. Can you please stay and watch over those children? I do not want to leave them, but now I do not have a choice."

She nodded, "I can."

I let go of Carley and went to Aaron. I took his hand in mine, "I want you to propose to your girl." I whispered as he looked to me with surprise, "I know you love her and you deserve to be happy."

"Do I have the choice to follow you?"

I shook my head, "It is better this way." He hugged me before I walked over to Cade. I took his hand in mine with a sad smile, "I know you want to follow me, but I can't allow you to." He began to argue but I shook my head and stopped him, "You are so young and are just beginning in the world. To leave your life just as it starts will affect you. You will regret leaving this behind. I speak with experience." I hugged him tightly, "I cannot return your feelings. You deserve to find someone who can. I want you to be happy and know I cannot give it to you." I quickly let go of him and looked to Collen, "This time, we cannot set up an excuse to why I am leaving. We don't have time."

He nodded, "You have to let them go."

I looked away as I felt my heart sting, "It is for the best, for everyone."

"Go to the hotel down the street and rest. We will prepare everything to leave and come get you."

I nodded before looking to Ty, "Take your time to follow," I said as his eyes widened, "I can't stop you from following me, but I want you to put Luther's needs first. If he chooses to follow you, give him time to quit his job and settle things before he leaves."

He nodded before everyone watched me take the coat Collen handed towards me. I put it on to cover my bloody clothes, wiped off my face with my shirt, and left the building. I walked down to the hotel down the street and got a room.

I immediately went to take a shower and tossed my clothes in the trash. I allowed the hot water to rinse away the blood that covered me as I cried.

As I began to feel tired and decided it was time to get out. I dried off with a towel before wrapping a provided bathrobe around me. As I left the bathroom, my ears suddenly rang. I winced but suddenly my legs gave out from under me. I slumped to the ground and tried to get up, but my body would not respond.

I heard a sigh and looked up to the bed. I felt my heart race as my body shook, "You hid yourself well, my love," his deep voice said, sounding like a melody. My body began to ache and felt hot. "I was surprised to get a call from Affan stating he had found you. I was even more surprised to see you violently kill the 9th and the 23rd." He chuckled slightly, "Affan was right, you have become more beautiful since you left me. I would have never thought it possible."

I felt my breath quicken as I felt shivers going up my spine, "no."

He stared me down with his golden eyes, "You cannot tell me no, Elenor, you are mine." A smirk came to his face, "Now come to me."

I tried to fight it, but my body stood and went towards him. I focused on his eyes and when I saw him blink, I took my chance. I ran towards the door, but my body gave out before I could touch the handle.

"You certainly are brave, my bride, but you are not strong enough to defy me." Tears welled in my eyes as I felt his hand caress the back of my neck. He walked in front of me and knelled towards me. He moved his face inches from mine and looked into my eyes. "Do not defy me, Elenor." He whispered as I felt my eyes turn gold and my heart speed, "You are mine and mine alone."

He picked me up and carried me to the bed. He laid me in the middle of it before straddling over top me, "please, stop," I gasped.

"Call my name."

I tried to keep my mouth closed but felt my body burn with lust that I did not want, "Padran."

He smiled wickedly, "Let's fulfill our urge."

My mind went blank as I lunged up to him. I aggressively kissed him as I moaned, "Padran!" I gasped as he began biting and sucking on my neck and cleavage.

"Elenor," He moaned back, and my instincts took over all my reasoning. I flipped us around so that I straddled him as my body shook and I gasped. I rushed to pull off his pants and quickly put him inside me. He groaned before grabbing my legs, lifting me off him, and slamming me violently against him.

"Yes!" I screamed as I aided him in slamming our bodies together and we moved as fast as we could. We had both lost all our control and were wild beasts. He grunted as I shook, and we both released at the same time. As I gasped for breath, he pulled me to the bed and moved on top of me, "Padran?"

"You are mine!" He growled before ramming into me as I gasped. I moaned as he ravished me and moved as fast as he could. I grabbed his face between my hands and pulled it to mine. I kissed him, intertwining our tongues between breaths as I cried out. He suddenly stopped moving and pulled me against him. He flowed into me as I shook with ecstasy. I turned over to my stomach on my hands and knees before dropping my chest and face against the bed. I spread my knees apart a far as they could go.

I looked back to him as he was breathing quickly, "Make me yours," I whispered before letting out a small yell as he rammed himself into me over and over again. "Please! More!" I begged and heard him chuckle as he grew inside me. He grabbed my arms, pulling me back so that my face was off the bed. He moved faster and harder as we both moaned to the movements. We both stopped and released at the same moment before he began to remove himself. Tears came to my eyes as he let got of my arms, "No, please, don't stop!"

He grabbed my hair and slammed inside me. My whole body shook with pleasure, but I was confused when he did not continue, "Say you will never leave again. Then I will screw you to your hearts content."

I cried as I looked to him, "I will never leave your side again! I love you!" He pulled on my hair even more as he plunged into me, continuing even after we both released. After twelve times, my legs gave out as I shook. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into his lap as he sat up on the edge of the bed. He moved my arms so that they wrapped around his neck before coming into me. He moved me up and down as I gasped in pleasure, "I love you!" I cried and he suddenly stood and put his arms under my knees. He began moving, but now further up and down to pleasure each other more.

"You will never leave me again," He demanded through heavy breaths, "You are mine! You are my wife! And this will make our first child!" He shoved me down as hard as he could, and I screamed in pleasure as he touched deeper than ever before. He shook as he filled me, and I collapsed in his arms. I heard him repeat my name over and over as I could not stay awake any longer. My body gave out and I was overcome with darkness.

I woke up and heard deep breathing near me. I opened my eyes with horror as I realized it was not a nightmare, he found me. I fought myself from shaking as it would wake him. I have to get away! I began to move off the bed but froze as something cold touched my left wrist. I looked down in fear to see a shackle connecting me to the metal frame headboard. I collapsed to the floor as I shook. He had chained me so I can't leave. I forced myself to fight my fear as I had to think, or this would all be over.

I looked at the lock on the shackle and there was no way I could break it. I thought as much as I could and felt tears come to my eyes as I realized I only had one option. And I had to act now, before I could be held back by fear or he woke up.

I put my knee against the chain so that it would not rattle as I worked. I grabbed the top of the shackle with my other hand, braced my body in place by grounding my foot on the carpet, squeezed my fingers together as tight as I could on my hand, and squeezed my jaw and lips shut. I, 2, 3!
