The mark
"Please... ", I croaked when I noticed that he was damn serious. He smirked eerily in response , pleaded beyond words. Tears leaked out of my eyes in rivulets on my cold and swollen cheeks. While l was in angony he was enjoying it with every delayed beat of my heart. "I can kill you right now", Soon enough the sound of my choking filled up the air when he lifted me up off of my feet.
My legs dangled off of the floor by more than a foot. Something l used to watch in movies was happening to me. This was going to happen fast just like l lost my baby. Soon l felt my eyes roll at the back of my head. Resisting death wasn't possible and it was painful. He chuckled again at the pathetic squeaks and gasps coming from my tightened throat.
It was deafenig in my ears and l knew it, l was going to die. There was no point in denying it now. "I do have to revenge", At the grim thought my lips pinched tightly together. I kicked my leg forwards kicking him in between his legs but he didn't seem affected. I kicked in the position where l knew that he would feel pain but it was all useless.
I stopped and tried to concentrate again but l couldn't hear anything more other than the sound of my stuttering heart beat pounding in my ear along with the sound of my roaring blood. My hands were clutched tightly around his right arm while my face felt numb and hot at the same time. I felt like l would explode if he squeezed my throat any more tighter.
My lower body felt numb. I could no longer feel them, l was paralysing. My hands hardened to the point that l could no long move my fingers while my nails embedded into his skin. I willed my eyes to stay open but they slowly closed. The palpitation of my heart started to also slow to a sluggish pace. My legs froze into the place as l felt the torrents of pain and coldness enter my frozen muscles.
Bright lights blinded my vision with sporadic patterns when I felt my air flow being sufficiently cut off. No matter how hard l tried to breathe, l was done. I was going to die without a good memory in my head. The only thing I had in my head was that I was betrayed by my husband and sister. The excruciating pain finally eased when l felt darkness correct at the corners of my vision. This was the end of me.
"Stop Mark, Alpha Damien wants her alive", Just as he was finishing me, someone shouted but he shockingly didn't move even an inch.
"Let her go right now, you will end up having trouble", he shouted loudly and that caused him to loosen his hold on my poor throat. His grip slackened and my entire body crumbled to the forest floor with a loud thud. Sides burning and numb gagging for air, l felt bile rise up to my throat and my head spinned uncontrollably in a dizzying circle .
"This wouldn't have happened if you had done what I had told you",He murmured and just like that the meal he had served me few minutes ago poured out of my mouth. It was bitter and disgusting as l puked it all over myself. My body trembled as if l was having a seizure. My eyes burned against my cold face mixing into the snot and saliva. I bent over and continued to heave until I felt my insides empty.
My hair hung around my face completely covered in the disgusting substance that came out of my mouth until the scent was everywhere around me. When I finally raised up my head, the so called Mark was staring down at me with a amazed look on his face . " What is it ?", I inwardly asked myself before my eyes staring at him clearly . I realized later that he had a big chunk of hair in his hands hanging from his curled up fist. I was shocked at the sight . My hair was so long and that had to happen.
"Poor you, you loosing everything",He chuckled. " Wait!, you puking", His eyes glowed brightly almost red when he bent down to my level. Dangerous nails scraped my cheeks and he gripped my face harshly then yanked it up . My vision blurred from unshed tears when he harshly shoved the hair off my face.
" SHE HAS THE MARK ", Just as he was roughly pulling the torn hoodie from my body, l heard someone say in a surprised voice. "Mark?, How is that possible?", They all walked towards me. I didn't know what they were talking about but they all seemed shocked. "It's glowing, we need to take her to the Alpha",My blood froze at that.
"How the hell did the moon goddess end up giving a mark to someone ugly like her, goodness she just had miscarriage",Mark growled as he pulled my chin up. Though l didn't know what they were talking about, l wasn't annoyed when Mark looked at me with disgust. Ignoring the fact that I had blood dried up in between my legs, my face was also covered up in vomit.
" The Alpha is gonna sort it out but l feel pity for him ",One said. "Of course he isn't going to accept her", Mark snarled. " Please.... don't ... take...me", Tears were again forming in my eyes when I thought about meeting the so called Alpha. " It would be better if you don't piss me off ", Mark growled as he slowly dragged me. I just cried in response.
My legs were currently in serious pain. I must have sprained an ankle or two as l was running but he didn't care. " Should l kill myself before they do ?", I instantly asked myself but trembled at the thought. I wasn't even capable of doing that. I have never harmed myself even when I was being mistreated by my husband.
They dragged me for a couple of hours until when they lastly halted. " You said you saw the mark ", The bulky man came and said in a voice that was menacing and dark. "We all saw the mark", l trembled when l heard the men answer in unison.
"First take her in the dungeon as Alpha Damien comes",My heart beat stopped for a second when I heard that.
