chapter 2: Harper
Grace was dragged in one of the dungeons closer to the prisoner that Reign said is the Alpha Prince.
she looked at him as he was sleeping covered in blood and weak, it was like he was almost dying, and she wondered how he isn’t dead yet???
A normal werewolf after enduring that kind of beating would have quit by now and died.
hell she would have given up herself and died if she was being beaten like this everyday and fed food that contained wolfsbane…
the guy has been locked up for months, she actually found him here about 5 months ago and he has been here since then.
his wolf is probably gone by now and despite being covered in blood and smelling like death she could tell that he was extremely handsome.
His black hair was long, and he even had a beard, his hair was greasy probably from his own blood and she wondered what made him so special that Reign would want to come back for him.
If it weren’t for Reign, they would have been far gone but she kept insisting they go back.
despite it being morning outside the prison was so dark if it were for her werewolf sight, she wouldn’t be able to see her own hands…
a few seconds later she heard someone whistling and it woke up the handsome stranger, he looked at her for a second he was a little confused to what she was doing here.
He has been here for months and no one else has ever been bought in this dungeon and he assumed it was meant only for him because he was special.
Hendrick walked in with his head held high…
“hello Harper, I bought you a guest here… meet my mate Grace, she thought that she was smart enough to try and run away from me but look where she is now and its just prove that I always win” he said with a smirk before looking at Grace.
She looked at him with tears in her eyes before bowing down to him.
“I will never again disobey you please don’t make me stay here, I have been here for only two hours and I feel like I am going to die” she said crying feeding to his ego…
“not so cocky, now are we??? You will stay here for the rest of the night and as a little lesson you will get a taste of wolfsbane” he said with a smirk picking up a bucket full of water laced with wolfsbane and poured it on her head…
she screamed so loud that the prisons walls must have vibrated and Hendrick looked at her as she was screaming in pain with a satisfied look.
“that is what happens when you disobey me” he said leaving with a smile…
the moment she knew he was far she stopped shaking like a leaf and sat up straight. the stranger Harper looked at her surprised that she just got hit with water that was laced with wolfsbane and yet she seemed pretty okay.
He had questions like why did she try to run away from her mate??
Why didn’t the wolfbane seem to affect her at all and why pretend that its affecting her???
As if feeling his eyes on her Grace turned to look at him before closing her eyes and sleeping. he watched her as she slept and she was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen…
her long black her and blue eyes held this mystery in them, she was perfect with her small chest and as she was lying down, he could tell that she had some love handles.
Hendricks punished Grace by making her spend the night at that dungeon.
he came back early in the morning and she was already awake looking scared.
“Hendrick please don’t make me stay here one more night, I cant bare to be in the place for long” she said crying and all he did was smile more… he took out a key and opened the door but before she could get out he held her hand.
“not so fast, your punishment isn’t over… you are now on prisoner duty, you will bring him food and clean his blood and Grace if you do something wrong I will make sure you end up in this dungeon with him again but this time I wont just pour water laced with wolfsbane I will make you eat it” he said and she quickly nodded…
“now go and bath you smell awful and on your way back bring food for our guest” he said looking at Harper who was obviously too tired to say anything…
Grace ran to her room and took a hot bath before looking at herself in the mirror.
there was no way she was going to let Hendrick succeed in any of his plan. she went downstairs and took Harper’s food and she could smell the wolfbane from a distance…
they added so much wolfbane and they couldn’t kill him, it means that he really is as powerful as people say which is why Hendricks is so scared.
when she was about to enter the guard stopped her and took the spoon and it lightly touched his arm before groaning a pain.
This means that they test if the food has wolfsbane before giving it to him. Grace entered and muttered a few words before handing him the food which he was in no hurry to take by the way.
He took a bite before looking at Grace surprised, the food didn’t have any wolfsbane but how did she do it??? He could swear he heard the guard screaming in pain like they always do before his food is bought...
Despite his surprised he refrained from showing it and ate his food. when he was done, she took a bucket of water that was already there with a towel and went next to him…
“turn around and let me clean your back” she said and the man looked at her and she rolled her eyes.
“so far, I haven’t done nothing to harm you, do this to me as a curtesy??” she said, and he turned around without saying anything…
