♦Diya♦

I woke up as I felt by neck staining. I had no idea when or for how much time I slept. I couldn't believe I fell asleep crying.

As the memories of my mum, dad and Vee floated back, pictures of their happy faces appeared infront of my eyes a lone tear rolled down my cheeks and fell on the pillow. It was still damp of my tears. That told me I didn't sleep much. I slowly sat up on the bed.

I'll never be able to get myself out of this creatures claws. Maybe it's my fate to die in a beautiful cage like this.

Suddenly my eyes landed on the open doors. I can't be seeing things? I rubbed my eyes to see clearly. I blinked my eye to the open doors for whole two seconds. Without thinking twice or looking around, I tip toed towards door but the room was too big I feared if I'll even reach the door like this. Fuck it! I ran to the door but my heart was beating so fast as if I was doing some robbery in some vintage castle.

Finally when I was on the door, I took in a deep breath and counted till four and released it slowly. Doing that calmed my heart a little. I have to get myself out!

I peeked into the corridor with my back touching the door so I'm not out on display. I looked on left till the last and turned my head on the right. I was surprised as I didn't see a single soul. I felt it strange as I was expecting there would be ten wolves guarding the room. Good there were none, if there were guards how would I get outside of this golden cage.

I put my foot outside on the cold tiles and I felt as if the wave of a small win hit me. I felt now I'll get myself out for sure. I fisted my palms and did a small prayer in my head. Please, god!

I turned back inside. I needed something to guard myself. I can't run off bare hands. The first thing I saw was a vase on the side table near the door, it was slim, long and made of some yellow metal. I instantly grabbed hold of it around from it's neck and turned it upside down so the one yellow tulip fell down on the floor with some water.

As I held it in my palm it was heavy. Perfect to bang someone head. Okay I'm good now.

I was again standing on the door but I don't know the way out. Left or right??

I turn my foot on the left and I don't know when my bare foots started taking long steady steps. I was carefully walking close to the wall trying to hide from the hidden prey eyes. It was a long corridor with weirdly not much doors. Huge wooden carved vintage framed pictures were hanging on the walls. I had no intention to look twice on the decorations of this cage as now I could only see was rays of light of my release.

I'm leaving my dear Wolfie Kulfie!

I soft smirk appeared on my lips as I had hope in my heart now.

As I walked further, I saw a weird door on the wall. Not like the other huge ones like it was where I was locked in. It was really tall but not fat door. I reluctantly opened the door pushing carefully and stairs came into my sight. They were going upwards.

My heart was yearning to go down to run the fucking hell away from this place but there will be wolves down for sure. I bit my lips and looked on my sides. I took in a deep breath.

Should I go upstairs?

My head questioned, what is the place where he would never search for?? Bloody hell I don't even know the place! How would I know that! Argh!

No. No. No. Calm down. Think Diya!!!

I started ascending the circular stairs infront of me as I didn't have the whole day to think and no idea where else to go. Earlier, I saw from the window inside the room we were really high from the ground. So this stairs might lead to terrace. Maybe.

It was dark inside as I started going up suddenly my ears heard him calling my name loud. My eyes went wide and I shivered by the sound of him. It wasn't a yearning cry, it was a angry call. Fuck!

My slow and steady steps turned as if like machine running, I ran as fast as I could upwards. If he catches me I'm bloody dead.

Confidence of getting myself off this cage that was on the top of the wall had now fallen down on it's butt badly and crushed into pieces. I knew he will catch me. The hope was shattered.

No. I can't lost hope. Hell no. He wouldn't find me!

A sharp alarm went off and I tripped on my step. I fall front on the stair, sharp pain start to feel on my calf if first hits the sharp edges while in my hand try to steady but the vase hit the step making loud noise and I lose balance and hit head on the edge. It hurts as hell. But all I was concerned was about the noise that I made.

My heartbeat start to fasten, he would have surely heard that. I'm gone now.

Even the last bit of hope was gone.

Hot liquid felt running on my brow and I fearfully bring my hand up to touch. After swiping middle and their fingers on the brow I bring it down and I see blood.

I gasp out of fear.

Tears starts to form in the back of eyes as I knew he'll find me now. I turned back my gaze to see if there was anyone coming but fortunately I saw nobody. I brought the hem of my white tee and cleaned my brow and temple till the extent I could. It was shooting pain. But I had no time to aid.

I had to keep going. I control my cry and slowly balancing myself start to run again but the pain shoots in my calf as I take a step up. Still I kept going even though it hurt as hell in my legs. Every step forward increased the amount of pain. As I reached end I saw another door. Why the bloody hell you would have so many doors?!

I had no idea what was on the other side of the door. I gulped taking my time to think again if I should open it or not? I fisted my palm digging my nails deeps until it started hurting.

I took in a breath and opened the door slowly and my heart dropped to my stomach. I forgot how to breath as I saw the furious golden eyes filled with rage on me.

Game Over.

He scarily stood tall infront of me with his hands crossed of his chest, his features hard, jaw clenched, nose flaring. I prayed for the floor to gulp me or the walls to swallow me inside as he glare at me.

Suddenly his eyes turn soft as they shift on my temple and he step towards me, in one stride he was standing in my personal space. My grip on the vase gets tighter and I realise I still had it with me. Without thinking anything I bang it on his head with all force present in me.

He shuts his eyes with the contact and I knew I made a huge mistake as he opens them. His furious golden orbs fixes on mine scared brown ones again.

I gulp.

~~~~~~~~~~

He sat on the edge of the bed beside me with a aiding kit placed between us, he was taking out things from it. His eyes were back to normal now but I didn't look at him, kept my gaze casted down.

I didn't say anything, not even a word when he found out my legs were hurt and he scooped me in his arms. Well midway, while he dragged me back in his long stride speed, my legs shooted unbearable pain and I involuntarily cried due to it. That's how he found out my calf were hurt and oh how could he let me walk after that. After all he is my mate right? Bullshit!

But he was radiating anger and I didn't wanna add to it anymore as I was well aware of the fact he was on the edge holding himself badly not to act rashly.

"Turn," he said in a low voice.

His voice wasn't scary. Maybe he is back to not angry and all lovey dovey now. But I hit his head bad, he might take the revenge?

I'm not turning he will burn my head apply something like chillies?

"Turn towards me," his voice firm this time.

I stay still, bitting the inside of my cheeks.

"Diya?"

I gulped.

He sighed deeply, "I'm speaking to you!" his voice annoyed now.

I didn't turn and due to nervousness I bit the inside of my lower lip.

Before I realise what happened I was pushed on the bed and he hovering over me with his knees on the sides of my stomach.

"What the hell you doing?!" I yell on his face.

I try to push on his bulky shoulders aways with my small hands, digging my nails in his skin purposely in the process. His huge palms come up and grabs hold of my both wrists in one hand. He slowly pushed them over my head resulting my back to arch a little.

Without my hands I felt fucking terrible and the position made me feel exposed. I was scared to core. I didn't know what he was doing. My heart started pounding in my chest and tears started forming in my eyes.

"Don't do this, please," I begged him with my shaky voice.

"Close you eyes," he said firmly.

"Please I beg you! Let me go," I cry, tears rolled down my eyes.

"I just want to clean the blood over your eye and forehead," he said in his hoarse voice showing the cleansing wipe in his hand.

His reply calmed me a tiny bit due to realising what he actually was wanting to do.

His eyes soften and he left hold of my wrist and wiped the tears off with his fingers. In a blink I see he was off me and standing between my legs. As I sit up on the bed myself watching him he gets down on his knees.

"Please let me," he pleaded very softly.

I couldn't pin point what it was that made me want him. Not even like I have not met as handsome guy as him before. He just had something that always made me attract towards him. Even though how much I hated to say this but I have had started to get feelings for him. Genuine feeling for him.

And feeling don't go just like that. I don't have a switch on my heart that I'll click and it'll stop the building attraction in a click. No it doesn't happen like that. I was going mad with the mixed feeling.

Tears start forming in my eyes once again. I dart my gaze downwards as I didn't want him to see them. I can't cry now. No. Please no.

He puts his head in my lap and his arms snake around my waist holding me tightly. And I break down.
